We had two points on this freighter, Obelisk, and he warped off. One of our guys had point on him for at least 20 seconds while receiving damage messages from the freighter's vagabond buddy who was trying to run us off. So it's not lag...
Is this some sort of bug or exploit?
Freighter Warping Pointed
The video picks up at the tail end of the ordeal, in the first two seconds the freighter warps.

Looks to me like he was aligned and just got out of point range ( hard to see) looks like 24-25km
If you put the video on 720p and expand the size you can see he warped out at 20km. Still no clue as to how he did it. He didn't log either, he warped directly to the celestial he was aligned to.

Looks like he got out of range and then when accelerating into warp and leaving the scene briefly show as closer. Since he's already technically in warp and a scrambler doesn't pull people out of warp that's the score.
He wasn't in warp when he was initially pointed. He was still aligning.

If disruptors don't pull ppl out of warp ( wasnt sure about that) and a freighter takes so long to warp after order is given...maybe that's it.
You aren't in warp until you finish aligning to your warp destination and until you've got the ship up to 2/3 speed. He was still in that process, and he was pointed for 20 seconds, that's too long of a gap to enter warp after being pointed.

I never claimed he cheated. I was torn between exploit or bug.
The more I read the more intelligible posts on this thread, the more I think it's just some janky CCP miscalculation.
Furthermore, if you're flying a vagabond and you're using a tech 1 warp disruptor, you need to uninstall Eve. To think people even suggesting this makes for good lulz.
So, in summation I've decided to chalk it up to broken CCP code, maybe we should put it up with the 1000 papercuts post, but then again the reproduction on this seems to be very difficult.

TL;DR: OP fails at tackling.
I can't fail, I win at everything, all the time.
I put my pants on one leg at a time like everyone else, except I p*ss excellence in them.
