Avon	Posted - 2006.01.24 11:48:00 - [121] Well, as CCP can't afford you and me Rod they'll just have to manage as best they can. For what it's worth I know exactly what you mean, and mostly I agree. The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur
Avon	Posted - 2006.01.24 11:49:00 - [122] Originally by: Finix Jaeger Its pretty hard to scout out ppl that arent logged in... If no-one is logged in, how do they know when to spring the trap? The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur

For what it's worth I know exactly what you mean, and mostly I agree. Oh, see you just found a good thing about them not having that many resources. Oh and in part I agree as well. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool
Dahin	Posted - 2006.01.24 11:54:00 - [124] I think you have to agree on me at least on the following point: "Log-on traps are used because local exists." Stop *****ing because someone found a way to counter your uber scout-tool. Is it "lame"? Probably, because it involves exiting/entering the server and thus not using "ingame" mechanics (but still accepted mechanics). Is it an exploit/should be an exploit? Hell no! /me directs people to the local-thread-of-the-month to solve their existencial problems.
theRaptor	Posted - 2006.01.24 11:56:00 - [125] Originally by: Butter Dog Am I missing something here? How is this any different to a bunch of people waiting on the other side of a gate for a warp-in point from a covert ops? They all enter the system immediately and warp to the covert ops. It takes the same length of time to warp to the target as logging-in and warping. The lag is the same too. For that reason I totally fail to see why it should be an exploit. With a decent scout you would notice them hiding in surrounding systems and they would show on the map. I don't think you trust, in, my, self-righteous suicide.

BECAUSE YOU CAN SCOUT THOSE PEOPLE, AND KNOW THEY ARE THERE! Oppps caps, But maybe its good, some people need to be yelled at.
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2006.01.24 11:58:00 - [127] Dahin, if you are not skilled enough to work around the local channel without logging off and on then you simple are no good, period. We never EVER do logontraps. Why ? Because they are lame and should indeed be an exploit. The only reason they arent is because CCP cant enforce them. Tell yourself that it's allright, that you'd be sooo uber if there just wasn't this thing called local and that exploiting and logontrapping is just your way of evening the unfair odds against the carebears. Power to the players !

Though the standard avoidance tactics should work if you are just passing through.

Flyyn	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:01:00 - [131] Am I missing somthing here? I seem to be a little confused on personal freedoms here....I mean did'nt the commies loose power? Did'nt that idot paper hanger blow his brains out? WHAT gives you pk'ers/griefers the right to tell me when I can log and not log? You already forced CCP to change the player handbook, Where is said "If you get into somthing you find you cant handle, simply log off." Now after a disconection you want me to wait longer to log on? If you are in space where they can trap you like that then tough...0.0 aint for whimps. You did'nt have enough support for you BFS??? cry me a frigging river! This game has changed, but I will continue to play it "My way" not yours....
Gariuys	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:05:00 - [132] But you know what's getting me even more cranky then CCPs inability to fix certain things that are either pretty servere or a big annoyance for a long time.... The ever increasing amount of complete fools on this forum. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool

Wait, so you are trying to eliminate a compelte set of set of tactics just because you don't use or enjoy them? Let's play fair then. OMFG NERF RAVEN! OMFG NERF WCS! OMFG NERF MWD DEADSPACE!

The ever increasing amount of complete fools on this forum. I agree, the competition is getting tough .. ahem Well, i was thinking of going off and doing something different again. So maybe I wont be bothered with the whole mess much longer. I agree tho, CCP should institute a required assesment test for regular forum posters tbh. Power to the players !
BOldMan	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:12:00 - [138] A good fleet comander will use a covop in front, one back of fleet and one covop log of (on loging screen)to see who is missing from sistem. Solution? Maybe, Log of, means 15 min in sistem with agro pennalty, and 1 hour present in scanner such a wreckage, imune to probes. tweak the numbers. Or loggin in give a zero cap, wait to reload. Or... such many solutions, only the will to implement is missing. Originally by: Treacle Shazboat Trying to buy from the market. The buy window is blank. Try to send a petition dropped me to the desktop.
Corp Scammer	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:15:00 - [139] hmmm cap reduction but what about ctd (can happen esp when CCP get things wrong but most of the time youre dead anyway) um yeah that oculd work - force em to recharge their cap when they log back in. dunno discuss further.

Or... such many solutions, only the will to implement is missing. And all the cases where people justifiably log in? After disconnect/CTD, or even normal gampeplay? It really isn't that simple. You cannot punish people for doing as basic as logging on cause it's misused in some cases. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool
Tommynator	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:22:00 - [141] Login timer is a STUPID idea. EvE often CTDs for different reasons, server, connection, graphics card or memory related and so on and so forth. I very much like the idea about "warp signatures" though. If you could scan for recent energy/warp/wtfpwn signatures, you would be able to see that for example 60 ships were recently there. Realistically ship engines should leave some kind of detectable trace, at least certain types or sizes of them!
Terradoct	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:22:00 - [142] All of you that are screaming and crying are just a bunch of mother's son's. "They killed my dready momyyyyy they cheated" , grow up a little ,kids, this game isn't for you if you have such attitued.
Jowen Datloran	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:22:00 - [143] Edited by: Jowen Datloran on 24/01/2006 12:24:17 Originally by: Mr Bright Edited by: Mr Bright on 24/01/2006 10:56:24 Doesn't the EULA say that you cant use 3rd party programs to gain an advantage? Yet here it seems, people are using a 3rd party program to coordinate an ingame event that effects others range of actions without there being any chance to counter it if you are flying large ships. This I completely agree with. Can anybdoy come up with a good explaination to why this is NOT a usage of 3rd party programs to get an unfair advantage? Hell, I bet it's easier to prove that people are using a mass loging trap than it is to prove a macro miner. EDIT: Can't you just ban these pathetic people for my sake any how? They make these funny noises when reality hits them. ---------------- Main as main can be

"They killed my dready momyyyyy they cheated" , grow up a little ,kids, this game isn't for you if you have such attitued. omg mommy please let me stab him in the eye. To make this simple for all the slow people in the thread. Logging on to get the advantage over someone, because they had no idea you were around. IS CHEATING. Thats right. ITs the same as wall hack, and aim bot. Cheating, you people are actualy defending cheating. I think it is you, whose in the wrong game. I can here counter strike screaming your names now.

When I was in army my squad got ambushed, luckly it was only simulation not real combat, mistake that we took was that didn't pay attention that two days before enemy team was moving throught that sector, but we had no intel that they left it. Same here RAT gang was there the day befor fight, it' -V- fault that they didn't payed attention to that. And who should be stabed right in the eye and poded several times is you who whine like little kids. Until you start thinking and not crying and runing to the board moaning - "lame tactic you cheaters bla bla bla". My corpmate was abushed by gang of -LV- hac's, does he whining about login tactic here, no. beacous it was his fault that he was caught unguarded.
Indigo Callypso	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:35:00 - [147] Well, if Oveur thinks it's lame but basically unenforcable...why don't the Devs take 20 or 30 minutes, log on themselves to fleets of habitual offenders...and smash said fleet...then log off with no comments? No rules necessary...you just never know when the right hand of the Joves will pluck your existence from this universe. If I have my history right, they did something like this to someone already.
GigaIndy	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:36:00 - [148] that comparison actualy proves my point. If your ambushed in real life, its your fault for not "scouting" In eve, while during a log on trap there was no realistic counter what so ever. Because the ships arnt there, and the people arnt there to see. Your silly squad, could have literaly seen it coming. In eve you cant, those soldiers that ambushed you,did they just materialize out of thin air? Did they just log on? and appear there? I think not.
Jowen Datloran	Posted - 2006.01.24 12:42:00 - [149] Edited by: Jowen Datloran on 24/01/2006 12:43:43 Damn, now it looks like I'm trying to compere the techniques used in login traps and macromining with each other but I wasn't. The last sentence only refered to an popular exploit who many apparently belives is easy to spot while posts in this thread suggests it would be hard to spot abusage of a log in trap. I belive not. So isn't log in traps clearly avoidance of game mechanics for the sole purpose of leading people in to a trap they have no way of avoiding (within the game mechanics)? I care little if this avoidance is done through voice chat, messenger or just yelling cross the room. ---------------- Main as main can be
