i have over 4k scan rez, and still cant lock a pod before it warps away?
so ccp is there a reason a pod can warp away in under 1 sever tick?
i can lock a cloaky between his gate cloak and his mod, but cant get a lock on a pod between its gate cloak and warp? |

A pod warps instantly.
There will always be a slight targeting delay. |

Sounds like you're either doing it wrong or have a shabby internet connection. Plenty people manage to insta-lock pods every single day.

Also, don't lock them on the overview. Overview is delayed. Lock them in space. |

Learn to bubble? Oh wait, you don't want to leave your comfortable high/low sec and yet you want CCP to change the game for you. |

As others have hinted, this is probably a latency issue on the part of your internet connection. It's a race to see which hits the server first, the pod's GTFO command, or your lock and point - any latency on your part is going to kill your chances to win that race.

Does anyone else find it funny that lower resolutions (bigger numbers) = faster locking? And that boosters make your sensors worse?

if the intended victim is on the ball, it's impossible to scramble a pod.
Anyone getting caught either had lag or wasn't fast enough spamming the warp command.

You shouldn't ever be able to do so even if it's possible because there's a lot of silly old mechanics/modules completely out of whack leading to this silly thread content.

Bubbles provide danger, and add immensely to the mechanics of PvP. They make it possible for fleet warfare to happen, make very interesting kinds of ambushes and traps possible, and add a constant uncertainty to your real safety. Calling people cowards for using them is very insightful to your own nature. You're either not bright enough to see those applications and risks, or you're afraid of losing ships and are projecting.

With the 1 second server ticks, my read on the mechanics is any scan res above around 3200 is kinda moot -- as you are already locking a pod at under a second with that res.
So, once your scan res is near 3200+ its more about clicking on the target with pre-heated point & weps the instant he appears.
As others have mentioned, if he is really on the ball and spamming warp before he pops, he has the edge on getting away; but you still have a good chance at getting him with a 3200+ res and low-latency internet connection. i.e. Get your 'pwn' packet to the server before he gets his pod's 'warp' packet there. If your missing pods with that res, its time to think about upgrading your internet connection sadly; not neccessarily downstream bandwidth, but upstream with a focus on lower latency.

That's a serious amount of tears about highsec from a 0.0 carebear, did someone from highsec touch you inappropriately?

Don't try to point them, because that will most probably get delayed until the next physics cycle.
Shooting them, though, doesn't involve any disruption of movement.
Try that.

You mean hope you don't accidentally click a neutral and activate concordokken.
Then again this is why safety was added. |
