Dear developers, if you can not handle resolving the problem, just turn it off damn it!!! After this you can freely investigate and resolve until next end of Maja calendar.
PS Happy new year.
I agree here, if CCP can't figure out how to fix the TD/Ewar problem, they should just disable it completely until they know what to do about it. |

Since I'm a closet RPer playing for Amarr, I refuse to reship into another race to do my missions in Amarr space.
I got The Blockade L4 against Sansha last night. I knew the mission might be painful, or impossible due to tracking disruption, but I wanted to try anyway. :P
I tried the mission with a mega pulse Paladin. Using two 90% webs for stopping power to kill frigates without having to use drones.
First wave went down without problems, but the second wave has the group of elite ewar cruisers and they shut down my guns. I used three sentries and webs to kill the ones in range, but it was very slow. Even with drone interfacing 5, it took the navy Curators ages to kill one cruiser. I warped out and switched to navy gardes. Same thing. (I use navy sentries for their large HP boost, less chance to be popped quickly). The fast repping elite cruisers were just barely killable, and only if they were in web range. The problem is 3 of them orbit at like 30km, and my sentries just could not kill them at all. Out of desperation I warped out, and refit my ship with Mega Beam II's and a Micro Jump Drive. Warped back and jumped to 100-120km from the ships. I was then able to snipe them easily and cleared the mission.
I did learn a few things about the ewar cruisers there though.
If you jump out of range while your disrupted, the disruption will keep working until it times out normally. Then your free.
The first group of ewar cruisers had a range of about 80km.
Other ewar ships and the ewar battleships got me from as far as 89km.
So, The Blockade L4 against Sansha is doable with a gunboat, you just have to resort to 100km sniping and Micro Jump Drive tomfoolery. |
