For those of you who don't know, squirrel fishing is using a cyno and a sling bubble to trap pilots who go to investigate the situation. What is becoming alarmingly out of control is using this next to a deathstar pos with hundreds of abandoned drones at the edge of the sling bubble. So if being dragged through the pos shield wasnt enough, the drones will decloak you. Effectively creating a trap that can not be countered. What makes things even worse is they use this very pos as a midpoint for their jump freighters.

So, in order to stop their effort free logistics we warp cyno dictors to the cynos to catch the jump freighters only to find out it is nothing but that stupid bait cyno. Another issue is they runs the bait cyno for hours and hours, day after day. So much that eventually no one bothers to check it out anymore. So their jump freighters are even more safe because everyone assumes the cyno for the jump freighter is bait.

Something needs to be done.

I tend not to go to null much (too much stuff i cba with) but surely its just like hisec and lowsec, in that you can select "Warp to within X km"?

Wouldn't warping to 100km mean you're outside the bubble's pull range?

looks like he has enough nuts to see him through the winter.

Squirrel fishing? Were any nuts harmed in this incident?

ITT: Fish complains that Hooks hurt and Bait is false advertising.

Im trying to make a serious troll response...but im laughing too hard at you for falling for one of the oldest traps in the book.

So why is this called squirrel fishing?

This right here is where you fail. Investigating the situation means warping in at a distance. But I'm guessing you're just mad because you tried to warp to 0 to see if you could catch some lowly transport ship to gank and instead got blown up. Also, last time I checked, the directional scanner picks up POSs, drones, and bubbles, so it's kinda your fault. Also, judging by the tone of your post, it sounds like you've been caught like this before. Natural Selection at it's finest if you don't learn a lesson the first few times.

I almost spit out my drink, I had to laugh so badly while reading this. I kinda wish I was in his VOIP server to hear his tears when this happened. But at least OP learned something new today!

...hopefully

Hi im a squirrel and i just got fished

Word of advice for OP. Your biggest problem is using flimsy destroyers to investigate. I suggest using a carrier to scout the cyno out.

Yeah, you need to shut up and learn to play the game.

Coming from the biggest carebear in Eve.

Is this not a good example of emergent gameplay?

It is a good example of gameplay that emerged years ago and which any competent cloaky pilot knows of and easily avoids. Cloakies stopped warping directly to cynos in like 2007.

Here is the point all of you keep missing. If we don't warp directly to the cyno, we will miss tackling the jump freighter. Even if we warp to a planet or safe spot near the cyno to make sure it is not a trap, by the time we find out it IS the jump freighter and then warp to the cyno, it will have safely warped off into the shield.

We tried to use a nullified cloaking tech 3 ship to investigate, but that guy decided to take matters into his own hand and try and snipe the bait ship. Unfortunately, he lost the Tengu to the POS before his missiles hit the bait cyno ship.

The only course of action that we could do to put a stop to this was reinforce the tower and later kill it completely after it comes out of reinforce mode. As bad luck would have it the guy who was going to light a cyno for our dreads was pulled into the bubble trap. So he rage logged off and logged off his Phoenix dread alts. So we no longer had enough firepower and could not attack it.

The point of all this is it is a 100% risk free setup for logistics and 100% killer of investigators. It should not be possible to do this.

Rather than reply, i just underlined the part of you situation that is your fault and not the game's.

You're welcome.

So why were bubbles allowed to pull ships?

I mean I understand stopping warp but why the pull?

Because they'd be pointless otherwise.

I dont like it when missiles hit my ship. maybe CCP should remove them from the game or give me a module that allows the missiles to pass through my ship and hit yours.

Bubbles are great and are not a problem. They are working as intended and changing them to allow people to warp out of them would defeat the purpose of them.

ie.

Oh **** my Titan/Supercarrier is tackled. Oh wait, I can just warp away because these bubbles are not doing anything.

as for pulling or stopping you, working as intended.

if you dont like bubbles, move to low sec or empire.

/Checks thread.. yup, still going.

Guess I'll leave these fishing videos here:

i love watching the npc alts, miners and mission runners calmly suggest that one can avoid bubbles by warping at range

this is why such people need to be despised and scourged: they authoritatively opine on aspects of the game of which they have no understanding

I would say 7

7 is the magic number

get in shape in 7 minutes
7 cardinals sins
White snow and the 7 dwarfs
the movie se7en ... well i bet OP get traped 7 times .. it's my last word before the Lock
