So with upcoming changes to warp speed/acceleration who is going to rat in a carrier? :D
Also, any sentry BS boats? Rattlers/Domis/Geddons??
How with these insta warps, one can rat in those battleships? -
I mean sentry drone boats can't really align, and now interceptors can just jump into system and be in random heaven/sanctum in 5 seconds... awesome eh!?
(Im actually excited about this, few days away to get into ceptors ^^) |

You forgot that its about sentry drone boats, there is no align for that :) (Or you get out of sentry scoop range which is 2500m) So you can't really align while ratting:)
Also, MJD has a long spool time - correct me if Im wrong here, but I believe its longer than actual align time for BS to get into warp :) With MJD skill @ 5 was it 9 seconds to spool it up? |

Asigning fighters sucks so bad that I cant see why would anyone use that for ratting.
Fighters are slow as hell and are effective only against BS size rats. |

Don't stay at 0km from the warpin.
Have an alt falcon.
Change your fit so you can take down intys (dozens of options here).
Stop being a whining scrub.
Bubble all gates in system when ratting.
All of these options are at your disposal. Why not use them?
Please, do not post if you have no idea what you're talking about.
Rat in an ishtar. - This thread is to discuss about ratting in Battleships/Carriers after Rubicon, not " suggest alternative ships thread"
MJD and cloak. - Cloak? Really? You cant use it if targeted (In this case by rats) And I want to see you patience for targeting Frigs/crusers.
Don't stay at 0km from the warpin. - Just wtf is this? :D
Have an alt falcon. - Fancy buying one for everyone?
Change your fit so you can take down intys (dozens of options here). - Right, thats why the post is here, to discuss it.
Stop being a whining scrub. - No one here is whining, this is just a discussion/question.
Bubble all gates in system when ratting. - Please, BIOMASS yourself. |

It probably will at 1st and the portable cyno jammer won't help because the raiders will just brring 2 ship (a ceptor to tackle and another ship to light the cyno outside of the portable jammer's range, or just a bomber with warp rigs and a covert cyno). But eventually it means fewer carrier kills because human nature dictates that people will just stop ratting with carriers. Eventually, yes, but the number of low-information players in the game never ceases to astonish me. Also, I'm stealing "HotStopper."  There are going to be some SERIOUS tears on Rubicon launch day when a bunch of carriers die while ratting. And then the people who didn't hear about ANY of the changes CCP has been warning us about for months are going to stomp angrily to this forum DEMANDING to know why they weren't informed and DEMANDING their carrier based SP be refunded because they just trained carriers for ratting and there nothing else you can do with those things. And I'm going to lull hard.  Also, I've already copyrighted "HotStopper" with the CONCORD forum phrases patent office, I demand 0.01 isk every time someone else says "HotStopper"..... I'll be rich!
Haha, nice one! Im going to steal that "HotStopper" too :D
