For the L4 version I know that an Angel Diamond Tag is required to activate the gate and that other fleet members can use the gate for 10 seconds even if they don't have a tag. If each ship has a tag, they can activate the gate at any time.
If this is not correct so far, please stop me now.
OK, assuming the above is correct, here's what we want to try and do, with only ONE tag in our possession (we're cheap).
We want to be able to send our tanking Rattlesnake in, before the rest of the fleet, to get aggro. Would the following work?
The Tag holder (ship A) activates the gate and then stops warp, allowing the Tank (ship B) to activate the gate during the 10 second window. Once the Tank is in the Bonus Pocket and has aggro, the tag holder (ship A) once again activates the gate and all remaining ships enter the bonus pocket.
Thanks for your advice.

The tags cost next to nothing why not just get another tag and make it easy on yourself?

yep, that tactic works perfectly, as you say just get the tag holder to activate and then stop his warp, let the rattlesnake jump in, then everyone follow shortly after.
however you should all make enough in bounties even if theres like 5 of you in fleet from a single AE4 to buy your own tag :P theyre only about 750k! :)

It's not really hard enough to warrant a 'fleet'.

I was curious about this as well so thanks also for the information about the cost of the Diamond tags. When I bought the one Ihave it was about 4M Isk

We remembered them as being more expensive as well. Last night we couldn't actually find any on the market, but if that price is correct, I'll look into getting everyone in the fleet one of their very own.
Cheers, and thanks for the information. |

yeah they are relativly cheap.
but you could be making money from selling the spares you would have if not using one on every ship...
But really its nice to know you can still get everyone in, if someone forgets their tag...

Yes it can be stopped, I have done so on many occasions. You just have to do it before the actual warp. i.e. while aligning with the gate.

More precisely: It doesn't work with FW mission entrance gates. That's why I assumed it might not work with ordinary mission gates either.

I'm familiar with it. I used it to check if I'd picked the right gates last time I tanked the maze. However it did not work when I was checking the final room. Did not work for a nighthawk buddy either.

I would give the Rattlesnake the diamond tag. Rattlesnake activates gate, five seconds later everyone else activates the gate. Just make sure your align time isn't five seconds faster than the Rattlesnake's.
The first ship to land on grid wil get all aggro.

Because the rattlesnake doesn't put out a huge amount of DPS, much better to get friends to deliver the DPS.

I have done bonus room several times a year ago in an arty Maelstrom and meta 3 turrets, you don't really need *that* huge horse power to clean it.
