Ok, so if I'm understanding this right then your saying that if I use my mining drones to mine in a system and they create lag for those entering the system, that I'm using an exploit? Tho I could be wrong, a little on the tired side.
Nah, they mean that using drones to create lag at the jump-in point (after jumping through a jumpgate) to lag you and increase the time it takes to load the system and objects.

Lola,
The pouncers thing IS a good tactic apart from the fact those "guys" knew it would cause severe lag and leave the victims unable to respond and have no recourse to avoid the situation.
"An exploit is when someone takes advantage of a bypass in normal game mechanics, allowing him to take advantage of you without you having any means of preventing it whatsoever."

I couldn't understand what use mining drones could POSSIBLY have in combat. So I did some digging.
A spoonful of digging.
I.E. I read the mining drone stats.
The do explosive damage. They are viable for fighting...
Riiiiight. Let's see you make a mining drone attack something other than a rock then.

The lag is on your end.. Reboot the client before jumping to a system where 50 drones might be waiting. 
Do you even know what you're talking about?

Joshua: The complete article is found if you go to support, type in "exploit" and select the third article.
I thought he meant that Polaris had issued some kind of definitive decision on one of the threads.

Lola,
Like Hematic says, it's all about intent.
We cannot help creating lag when engaging in large scale battles but the fact they were using mining drones brings their intent into question.

You have to wonder about Jash's persistent defence of the exploiters.
Has the thrown his integrity out of the window in order to prevent being called....*gasp*...carebear?

Perhaps the blue flash around ships which "appear" in space after a jump-in should disable any nearby drones.
That would force "pouncers" to pull drones back into their drone bay to re-activate them or it would make them hold them in the drone bay until after the ships appeared.

It's not the client.
It's not the graphics.
It's the time it takes the server to pass on the information about drone placement blah blah blah.

Hmmm, sounds entirely plausible, but the why's and wherefore's mean nothing to the victims of the lame tactic/code.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
This thread should've been locked ages ago.
