Yup. Bad idea (except for gankers).
They are normally pretty hard to catch, but even the best pilot will screw up in them once in a thousand times.
They used to be ignored as they were so hard to catch in space. But now there will most likely be a much more concerted effort to pop them now thay they 'may or may not' have valuable cargo.
especially with the presence of Tier 3 BCs, they are about the worst, least defensible ships in the game.
Another change not really thought through. It was an 'easy fix' for CCP instead of really looking at the mechanics...much less the mechanics of t2 ships that need re-balancing. RIP Vile Rat-á "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde |

Some of us operate in low sec and don't want to reship before we connect to the major trade routes.
Ironic that despite what CCP states as desires, they continue to make Low Sec even less appealing and more discouraging.
This is a terrible change, as I stated earlier. RIP Vile Rat-á "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde |

Nevermind that, who brings a blockade runner and docks in amamake for any reason? You'd think by the time you have the SP to fly the thing you would know better.

End result: the chance is roughly nil. Oh, and there was no lack of legitimate incursion data GÇö just a lack of data showing the message they wanted to convey, which is why they had to get the word out in an attempt to create an alternate reality.
I dunno. I don't see nearly as many freighters as I used to , if so , the propaganda campaign must have been successful.
But yeah, that whole Incursion Thing was a crock.

I can't touch this one........... okay ima give you a protip (tip from a pro) here so it goes like this you see you undock with all brackets enabled and see if any warpable celestial is inline with the undock if there is one, you bookmark the undock, instawarp to that celestial, warp back to your undock BM at 100, delete the old undock bookmark, create a new one and keep doing that, rinse and repeat until satisfied
This we know.
The point is to do it in Amamake without getting popped as soon as station exit is made, before cloaking. RIP Vile Rat-á "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." - Oscar Wilde |

Mr Epeen wrote:Someone screwed up. Even if some of the bizarre scenarios that people are coming up with ever happened in the actual game, it's still a dumb change. Dumb as in pointless. No one gets locked in a blockade runner unless they allow it. Ever. Deep space transports, on the other hand, would benefit from this. But it seems they are just left as the bastard child that gets ignored because no one want's to have anything to do with him anyway. I know I never fly one. But I might if it had scan immunity. Mr Epeen 
I survived exactly 24 months of Low Sec PI successfully with my Cloaky Blockade runners.
The ONE TIME I used a cloaky Bustard with 4 stabs giving Warp +6 (yes, I know the cloak/mwd trick), I still got caught at the first POCO I arrived at with Focused Interdiction. They are indeed terrible ships.

The ones that do carry expensive stuff cloak up the second they move and the ones on auto pilot are for the most part empty. We are in the same boat is every else in not understanding why they made this change. If anything this will make us want to hit them more just to see what they are trying to hide.
Once in a blue moon we do screw up the cloaking before warp. Esp in Low Sec, I have popped into systems 1000m from a Sansha Rat, making in impossible to insta-cloak when trying to warp away to the next location.
It happens.
