Thank you play again..
Since you obviously don't know the definition of exploit I'll help you out a bit. Quote:An exploit (from the verb to exploit, in the meaning of using something to oneGÇÖs own advantage) is a piece of software, a chunk of data, or sequence of commands that takes advantage of a bug, glitch or vulnerability in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior to occur on computer software, hardware, or something electronic (usually computerized).
Only if it results in an unintended advantage, which is not the case since the "bug" is documented by CCP and left in the release version on purpose.
This unintended behaviour will be fixed together when they make other changes to NPC AI (as was stated in the very same thread you so like to pull out of context)
Now can you kindly stop spewing this drivel in every drone related thread, or just petition/bug report it and be told by CCP itself you are wrong since reason doesn't seem to work on you. |

I love my Tengu. His name is Charlie. Charlie is happiest when we aggro entire rooms together. He is also very insistent that we always kill the small ships first.

So when they fix this bug and your drones are slaughtered no matter what and you're perma jammed because the NPCS are using unnerfed ECM will you come to the forums and admit you're wrong or will you just hide and hope they fix this mess? Quote:Done that already. I don't use exploits at all. I just keep my drones in until the things trying to kill my drones are gone, and then use Hammerheads for extra Anti-Battleship DPS, since I've yet to see Battleships try to kill drones. I find it highly improbable that you're killing elite frigates without using drones or winmatar ACs with TEs and some distance. I sure wish my rigged and implant boosted nearly maxed cruise missiles/torps could hit a frigate worth a damned. With my skill set I'm stuck using anything and everything from TPs to MWDS to try to keep threat long enough to get some RR off on my drones. You really need to learn that a bug becomes an exploit when CCP says it does, regardless of how you personally feel about it.
You also need to learn to put a target painter on your drone boat. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

The current case for PVE is that carebears and casuals play EVE to ~relax~ and should not be challenged by things like paying attention to mining lasers and cargo capacity and drones and aggro and certainly not another player coming to disturb my ~relaxation~

That someone being a developer https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2158421#post2158421Quote:While we consider the fact that the AI will only shoot your first flight of drones (this is based on specific criteria such as sig radius) and not a second wave to be a defect, we are not publishing the fix with Retribution. Thank you play again..
Please learn the difference between a 'defect' and an 'exploit'. They are not the same thing. Bumping, leave it alone. |

I think the winner is General Tso's Alliance, but that's just me.
I used to wait for people to shoot back in lowsec to lose less sec (because I like to get into hisec from time to time), now I wait for them to shoot back so I can pod them sec-loss free.
I used to go on roams through lowsec just to get kills, now those kills pay me.
I used to ally in wars against aggressors for the thrill of PVP, now I get paid for those kills directly (with properly chosen wars).
We used to just get raged at in local and get some laughs when we killed people. Now they can put a bounty on us so we can laugh every time one of our members gets killed because of the price on their head.
I used to take joy hunting down personal kill rights, now I can do the same for others.
We used to fly T1 fit T1 cruisers and frigates to encourage more fights from wt's and to encourage new players to join up without feeling inadequate, now those ships kick all holy ass.
We used to hate neutral RR interfering in hisec wars, but with the suspect flag making that RR flagged for everyone to pounce on, it makes fights a lot more fair.
The only drawback is scanning out mission runners and then getting attacked by the rats, but its a small pittance compared to the awesome additions. Hey, as a dude that lives in lowsec, you should read my idea on how to "fix" it... in Blog format, complete with a spreadsheet! http://3xxxd.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-buff-lowsec.html |

Yes. Back in my day the raven was the nullsec belt ratter of choice. Things are only impossible until they are not. |

Hahahahaha!! the tengu the winner, No! i have lost 3 in just 15 days against sansha in missions I was ripping through before the expansion. Simply because of the new missile nerf and increased NPC AI
They were well fitted out but when 4 warp scramblers get you, kiss your arse goodbye.
So well done CCP lvl4s are more challenging now makes the game more interesting and dangerous. Just what it needed!!
I,m glad they did it it was just becoming a grind. |

belt ratting solo in a BS isn't worth the trouble, bought a new shinning Astarte last week, 1347 dps with a whooping 3km optimal, meh, not worth the trouble, also sig is too big comparing to the tengu.
Drone boats got killed, haven't flown the Ishtar nor Domi, but I guess it doesn't matter to have big drone range if they get insta popped by rats, I guess it's the same with Carriers running anomalies.
My Vindicator hasn't changed & is still better than your Tengu.

I hope you mean full room aggro issue was something that caused such losses. Otherwise it just doesn't compute for me. |
