I'm really confuddled about something.
Yesterday i was just hopping along low sec in my rupture, and i come down a system gate where there is a red flashing dominix at 182 km from the gate. armour tanked to the teeth I was, fifteen km's to go to make it through the gate.
Figured i'd just take my chances, fully expecting the guy to have a fast lock and starting to snipe me.
however ....
he didn't snipe, he just moved towards the gate, towards me, but at a speed, that I don't understand how he did it. He started at 182 km, and came closer than 20 km before i finally reached the gate.
lets calculate this, i travelled 15 km at 512 m/ sec : almost 30 seconds to get to the gate
in those 30 seconds he travelled : 182 km (starting range from me) + 15 km (range i travelled) - 20km(final range when i jumped the gate with no shields left) = 177 km
that means he was flying 5900 m/ sec
was I dreaming, or is this in any way possible on a dominix ?

At that distance it is possible to warp to a gate i believe.

nasty trick.
ok since i'm such a nubbin :
doesn ' t that make his gatecamp less efficient ? If he would just sit there in front of the gate he could open up immediately , scramlbe + web me and tank the sentries long enough to take out my rupture. As it was I shrugged it off being not even in armour yet.
It would mean he would only be able to attack every fifteen minutes i guess though due to the aggro timer.
this warp technique makes it that he can attack when he wants, but what good is that if it prevents him from even popping a nubbin cruiser pilot?

allthough it is quiet fun to mess around with a speed-domi it is hardly a usefull setup. but scares people to hell :)
high: nos
med: 100mn mwd, scrambler and semi-shieldtank
low: 5-6 nanos and 1-2 overdrives depending on your likings
can go over 2k per sec and reach it rather fast turns and warps like a frig. but still more for fun than serious pvp

Seems to have worked pretty well against you though  Heh, it got your Attention and even drove you to post about it, a little better timing on his part and there wouldn't be any "shrugging" it off, cept maybe in your pod

Its a nice idea tho you have to admit. If you had fought back and so not been able to jump you would have been screwed.
