Tip for handling macroers and scaring the bejesus out of noobs

Fit a scrambler and head to your nearest maromart belt û drop a can and rename it ôYouö
Then orbit the can and scramble it û the macomart shoppers will get the message that you just tried to scramble ôYouö confused they will then attack you and you can freely execute them ALL û no concord running interference. Also a naughty trick to play in empire noob belts *snickers* its funny to watch 20 noobs warp out because they think you are a pirate and just tried to attack them. Best Trick In Eve hands down

My tip to go with the below:

Disable auto-lock back if you ever do this. If you don't and a neutral target locks you while you have your guns in instant-activation mode like that, it's byebye shippie in empire.

Here's one,

Just to get the purifier.

-------

• Click the modules you want to activate as soon as you lock.



• You will notice the cross-hairs and the module flashing - waiting for activation.



• Target something that you cannot lock onto. (eg. A planet several AU away)



• You will see the ship trying to lock but fail



• Your cross-hairs are gone, but the module still flashes, and will activate as soon as you have a lock.

-------


Good luck. I have more, but I wont share.

Could be blind but didn't see this one;
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up/Down Arrow: Cycle through what you previously typed in chatboxes.

Also going through the shortcuts menu in the escape menu is very useful - setting toggle key for autopilot and undocking is pretty cool.

'Fraid I win this one guys

At any station that you use often, undock in an interceptor, then without moving, manually align your ceptor so its in a straight line out from the undock point. Go in that direction and hit the MWD, go for about 1000 or 2000 kilometers and stop, bookmark the spot. Then go dock and undock again, as soon as you have loaded and can see things, warp to the bookmark, you will instantly warp away before anyone can even lock you. Even in a battleship. This is very useful if you are being camped and need to get out of the station, or if you have a fleet of yours in the station and you need to get into space and get ready to fight. Now, wheres my bomber?

Impossible to create a character with less that 4 characters in its name? Don't think so

Add a space at the end of the name, and the name will be accepted.

Create main alt on 3rd account > join new mining corp > get a Good position by giving genuine GOOD advice > When you have all ahngar and corp wallet access empty all hangars and wallet and try to 'Borrow' a ship from one of your subordinates > recycle junk stuff sell what you can wire the profits to your 1st account main > delete old 3rd account main make a new one and begine again.

I usually make 400-600 mill every 2-3 months this way.

You sir are a pathetic piece of crap. People like you ruin the game. Normally I stay out of arguments and such on the forums because of flamming and the general adolescent stupity that comes from such posts. But I cannot but feel angry that someone would do this to a corp and ruin the game for them. Pirating I can understand, especially from a RP perspective. But to outright rip off a corp like this should be punishable by banning permantly the instigator's IP/CC info/address/email. People like you ruin the game for others. Outright theft is something that is lower than low. Gaining isk from such activities is the most worthless thing anyone can do. How do you live with yourself?

To the OP, sorry I went off-topic. But I thought that this needed a response

Fed up of running out of space in your frigate when cleaning up a battlefield. ?

Cans spread all over the place, and would take you for ever to collect them all in a hauler ?

Fit a tractor to a fast frigate, warp in and drop a can from the frigate.
Tractor it and drag it behind you, filling the can up as you move around.

Once you have collected all the seperate cans into one, warp back in with your large cargo space ship, and have only one can to pick up.

If in a deadspace area, remember to drag the can back to the warp in location...

When dealing with a skilled solo BS/HAC/command ship pilot who uses a covert ops alt with scan probes to scout, take a shiptype commonly used for NPCing and sit in a probe-able safespot in system, pretending to be AFK. When he busts your safespot and attacks your raven/apoc/whatever, imagine his surprise when you start scrambling him and firing back. Then imagine the look of chagrin on his face when your five buddies who were waiting on the gate in the next system jump in and warp to you (assuming you even need them at all).

This trick works by expecting your opponent to be competent at PvP and looking for kills.

i have a nasty trick i have been planning. since the issue with log in tricks making you warp 1 million km to where you logged off at. what you do is go to a npc station in 0.0 and have one gang mate in a tanked out scambling ship. while you have 5-6 alliance/corp mates logged off in pvp ships in the station on ts with thier character selection screen up. the second a enemy undocks you start to attack/scramble them. the trick here is for 30 sec after they attack back they cant dock. so the second they attack back all your guys click their character and start to spam the exit station shortcut (i set mine as alt-d) sometimes people will undock several times to lets say test the water before they with aggress. after they agress back and you get your guys logged in you have 20-25 seconds that your enemy cant dock. even if they try to reverse it on you and have a few of thier mates jump into the system when you agress the lone guy you still have a few allies sitting in reserve they dont know about. a few weeks ago i used a alot less refines version of this and we killed a cyclone and got an enemy dominix to about 20% structure left with just a thorax as bait (which was lost btw) and 1 bs docked and me sitting in the next system over in a raven. i have not gotten a chance to test this out yet since i have been unable to log into eve for more then an hour or so for a week or two, but a way less refines attempt ( no ts ect). worked good. the main issue is you can only use this occationally before a particular group of enemies catch on.



ohh btw wrayeth long time no see.

Get a bubble and a small group of friends. Think about 8 or so. 2 should be battleships equipped with smartbombs. Go to within 1 or 2 jumps of a hugely hostile 0.0 system. Have 1 scout that is in or just outside hugely hostile system.

Blow up some people without using the bubble or smartbombs. Let some go. The idea here isn't to kill a bunch of people, but rather to be seen. This will cause a stir in the hostile system where they all say "Zomg baddies just outside! Lets get 100 ppl and pwn those 8 bastages!". Because most ppl are risk averse, they will bring small ships to scramble fast so they can get on the killmail and not risk much. Becuase they will bring 80+ people you are almost guaranteed to get the pilots with lots of implants who don't pvp much.

When your scout tells you that thier fleet is moving, fall back a gate and drop the bubble. Drop cans to get the cloakers that will be follwing you. Position both smartbombers so that thier fields overlap.

As enemy fleet warps in bomb everything. You will instapop almost all the tacklers, T1 Cruisers, and most HACS. Intys last 1 second or so and die so fast that they can't even align as they are taking damage as they decelerate from warp. You can kill most untanked BS as well, and jammers won't help them. Have your 6 friendly's mop up anything that gets out of range. My record so far is about 72 killmails in under 90 seconds.

Since the taclers almost all die and wake up in a cloning station, most times you can get your bombing BS out even when you are overrun. As most pilots have lemming-like qualities as long as you don't do this every day it works almost every time like a charm.

FYI - the board isn't static so if it's scrolled down a bit look for 35-R and note the times on the mails.
