Edited by: Ni''ka on 12/04/2006 20:46:55 Edited by: Ni''ka on 12/04/2006 20:46:36 I just died to a Cyclone and a Thorax and a KESTREL in .3 space while they tanked the sentries.
They not only tanked the sentries but the 5 launchers from my Caracal. They tanked them for over 1 minute while we fought.
Someone explain to me how a god damn kessy tanks sentries? The guy in the cyclone tanking was 2 months old ingame.

I can tank sentries. No big deal. It's not an exploit. In fact, I can tank them and your launchers indefinitely. HOWEVER, a kestrel, thorax and cyclone should not be able to. Petition them under exploit. include the time, the date, the names of the people and the killmail, plus links to any screenshots or fraps footage you might have.

Now, this can be totally wrong, but I heard that you can jam sentries.

The Cyclone would probably have the ablity to tank the sentries, and its entirely possible the sentries didn't cycle to another target before you died. No exploiting seems to be involved.

The cyclone probably tanked, lots and lots of hardened shield HP = win. The kessy probably orbitted too quickly + had too smaller sig for your missiles to do alot. Sorry. At least it wasnt a raven, eh ---------------------------

I didn't read it properly. Not reading the original post for the win ^^;
Definitely petition under exploit and see what the GMs say.

Cyclone could tank it for a minute, probably, right. The kestrel, if the sentries fired on it, would be instantly destroyed. As I understand it, sentry guns have so much tracking that it's impossible to avoid them by orbitting.

Yes i say them do a small itty bitty amount of damage to his shield before i started firing.
I got him to half armor after breaking his shield tank to find his armor was tanked even more.

I dont know about the cyclone but in a bs you tank sentries quite easily. It would have been the cyclone tanking them, he would have had lots of cap booster charges and a cap booster to feed his cap, and from the cyclone probly shield tanking. as they get bonus to their shield reps. But 2 months in game he wont have the best skills so how he would manage that kind of tank i would love to know. Probly the others were also feeding him shield. so a solid shield tank setup, with the 7.5% bonus to shield reps that the cyclone gets per ship lvl. Plus one of the other ships feeding him shield, i reckon it could quite easily be done actualy.

first, why were you shooting the cyclone?
second, what ship were the sentries firing at?
if this was the kestrel, petition. the cyclone could tank sentries and a caracal for 1minute with easy

If he's armour tanked, the shield should have been blown out by sentries in seconds. You need high resistances to tank the sentries properly, even for a minute.
Question. Was he, by any chance, sitting exactly on top of one of the sentries?

Edited by: Scorpyn on 12/04/2006 21:08:33 I was "sentry tanking" a crow at a gate once. Luckily ppl told me to warp out before the sentries switched to me
It was probably the cyclone doing the tanking (I assume that it attacked first?). _____________________________________ meep meep This sig will self-destruct. |

Yup, definitely a faster cycle rate than 90 seconds.
Drones are key. If you have 'em out before you aggress and your toughest ship shoots first, you're golden. Sentries will quite likely go after the drones once they've switched from hammering the first aggressive ship.

A BC can tank sentries.
Going full resist/tank mode, a BC can put up almost as good a tank as a BS, even with a 2 month old player.
I'm more surprised your caracal lasted as long as it did and I'm going to guess it wasn't a full 60 seconds. A thorax a cyclone (even one set to tank) and a kessy should take you out pretty fast at gate ranges.

Doesn't the sentry switch targets instantly once it destroys a target, making drones useless?

Its pretty simple:
Sentrys shot either thorax or cyclone. Sentrys cycled and shot either cyclone or thorax. You died before sentrys cycled to kestral. New Petition Inc Vid |

As everyone says, a Cyclone can easily tank sentrys long enough to kill a Caracel, especially with 2 other damge dealers helping, and drones in the picture. The kestrel is just lucky that sentries didn't switch to it before you were dead.
I've tanked sentries in my Arbitrator long enough to kill a stabbed pirate throax (with help from a Vigilant *salutes Garreck*). Don't assume that only BS can tank sentries, even low end cruisers can for long enough to get the job done.

And with all the suicide Ravens in high sec, what's the point of Concord? Remove 'em all-just let me get a fleet to Jita first. ------------------------------------------------ I buy/sell any and all faction ships. Drop me a line in game if interested in doing business! |

A cyclone can tank the sentries for quite a while with enough hardeners and a cap injector for its tank. Moreover, when the sentries switch targets, they cycle through all possible targets, including drones launched by criminally-flagged players. I'm guessing the reason neither the thorax nor kestrel died is that drones were deployed, and the sentries were firing upon those. -Wrayeth

I'll bet a lot of isk that they weren't being shot at by the sentries at all.
