oh, so if one party is doing someting wrong, it's ok to act the same...? I think my post would apply to both involved parties...2 wrongs never equals a right (say it real slow several times now...)

This is getting sooo old.
Please realize the only reason that one player used 3 miningdrones was becuase he had been mining and hadn't time to equip his combat drones.
I am not rich but I still have 10 times the combat drones I need just sitting there in my hangar so believe me what I say we no other reason to use harvesters. For gods sake think. Why use expensive drones of no use when you can pick up tons of combat drones with just a little npc pirate hunting.

well makes sense.
so the people are implying that mining drone lags more then combat drone? for that is the only reason to have them out intentionally.

What CCP should do:
1)
Make an option so you can choose what kind of network connection you have, or at least not optimize network packets for 33.6kbps modems.
2)
Mining Drones should not be launchable outside 200km from an asteroid belt.
All the angels and the puny men of god looked away...
Frightened to death by the evil that was born on that day!

Sooo, you say you was mining at a jumpgate spawn in point....odd, never seen an astroid belt at any jumpgate spawn in points....COUGHCOUGHLIESCOUGHCOUGH

I don't think its anyones fault or intention to lag other players. For example, here's something I can reproduce regularly.
Go into a system with a lot of bodies (planets, asteroid fields) and hit the scanner, put "BY RANGE" and let it default to max range (enter a bunch of consecutive 0's).
While the scanner is working away, warp to an asteroid field. Now what happens to me is you don't see any asteroid field and if there are NPCs there they lock on you and start firing. You see you shields go down. However, you see no asteroids or NPCs until the scanner has stopped and returned with results.
So something is wrong with the syncronzation of events during high lag situations. Its hard for a player to say what causes lag or not, obviously more "stuff" will cause lag.
This is not as clear a case as "use of X module cause CTD so therefore use of X is an exploit".

Why do so many ppl miss the whole point?
The point is that these pirates USE a flaw in the game engine. They camp the point where you end up after you've made a jump, and they deliberately launch so many drones as possible - with the sole purpose of making the poor sucker jumping lag so bad that they're able to warp jam you, webify you - and very often kill you BEFORE you're able to control your ship.
This is to USE a FLAW in the game engine to get an UNFAIR advantage := EXPLOIT.
Would any of the pirates using this tactic NOT admit that they get an UNFAIR advantage using this technique?
If you do, I believe you are a liar, on top of being an exploiter.
The sad thing is that it's no longer only pirates that uses this exploit.
Plz, ppl. Stop using this flaw. It's killing the fun of the game.
Where's the challenge in killing a ship that's out of control - that is condemned to death the moment it jumps?
And, CCP, a last pray to you: Start looking at the INTENT of ppl. If you are convinced ppls intent is to use flaws in the game engine to get an advantage - give one warning. 2nd warning: Ban 1 month. 3rd - permaban.
You might loose some money from subscriptions in the short run - but I'm convinced you'll earn on it in the long run! I, for one, would not stay too long in a game where I can get killed with no possible way to escape, and where those offenders that uses the flaws are NOT punished.
And that is even though I quite simply loves this game 
So, plz - give a statement about this issue. |

Or so you say.
Your invincible until all that is loaded.. It's the fact that the client has problems sorting that information out, this is the killer.. Because as far as the server is concerned, your in control of the game. But because the client is all bogged up, you in fact have no control.
False. Invincibility is on a timer. If it takes longer than this timer to load (BTW, use control-alt-F12 if you doubt that the cause is network bandwidth limitations), then you have a chance of being podded before your client can even finish receiving all object data from the server.

This would present a highly uneven playing field based on the type of connection available to a user.
Not everyone can get broadband access.
The problem is not optimization for modems, the problem is misuse of available network bandwidth even on a modem connection. In the case of warping, average bandwidth usage during warp is a mere fraction of the capacity of almost any modem. It's not until the last second that bandwidth spikes a ridiculous amount. The easiest solution - Spread the bandwidth usage out over time to avoid the peak. Benefits modem and broadband users alike.

It seams so simple even a fool could understand but looking at some of these replies...
Firstly if they have no advantage from launching harvester drones then WHY DO IT. they do it to cause MORE LAG on the person entering the system --- if it didnĘt cause more lag and give them an advantage WHY would they do it??
I understand the ppl involved launched them because they didnĘt have any combat drones to launch instead but it is still only to cause lag,
Using combat drones for the purpose of causing lag cant be called an exploit because they are meant to be used in combat.
Remembering that last bit just ask your self :
1) Have CCP put harvester drones into this game to cause lag?
To me it seams clr
a)using combat drones to cause lag (and maybe fight as well) - fine but maybe against the sprit of the game 
b) Using harvester drones for the sole purpose of causing lag can only be considered an exploit
