Or, more likely, it was not sticking out and they deliberately picked an otherwise unnecessarily close point to the POS to jump to.

I do love these threads. Any time an exploit is used, people throw their arms in the air screaming for justice, unless the victim of the exploit was goons, then suddenly everyone's supporting exploits.

Stop being pathetic. Exploits are exploits, regardless of who it was done by or to.

It has nothing to do with making people upset. It has to do with risking your own ships and your own accounts for no good reasons. Also, there's a distinct lack of heat of battle here.

If it was just sticking out, they should have GÇö and could have GÇö killed it. For some odd reason, they didn't, most likely because they couldn't. If it wasn't already killable, then it was indeed an exploit.

The only way to smack a titan out of a POS if a tiny bit is near the POS sheilds is to cyno in a bunch of very high mass ships (other titans) onto that point. The titans are so large that they will cyno into the pos (and inside the targdt titan) which will bump the titansin opposite directions. The target titan will fly out of the pos and then can be targeted by DD. It is impossible to stop a bumped titan when its moving at 1000+km/s which is what Vee's titan was doing. It is also impossible for a titan to reach these speeds unless it gets cyno bumped by another titan.

This was deemed an exploit by CCP.

Nah. Just make it so that anything that interacts or intersects with a POS shield on jumping (in or out) explodes instantly, leaving nothing behind, before any other physics simulation effects are calculated.

That should put a damper on things.

Those of you that dont understand what just happened heres what:

They cut the initial bumping record, titan was by the end of the shields and they bumped it to get out from the other side.


Its an exploit. And it was used.

Aside from the fact that we can see the titan flying out of the pos and that the point where all of the titans are flying from is the edge of the POS bubble.

This will not be the first time CCP have taken no action on people exploiting the game untill we kick up a fuss on the forums.

So, yeah, umm.... If that wasn't the exploit, how the **** is it going that fast?

Why would they bump a titan TOWARDS a pos rather than just DD on the spot?

You can see where the bump happened just by looking at where the titans are and their speed and direction. It was the edge of the POS shield bubble, which is exactly where a bridging titan sits when it is about to bridge a fleet.

If it wasnt in the pos they would have simply used their DD. You never bump a titan towards a POS if it is outside.

Aside from the fact that we can see where the bump happened which just happens to be on the edge of the pos shields, exactly where a bridging titan sits.

You simply look at where the titans are all moving from. The point where the bump happened can be seen simply by looking at the direction all of the ships are moving from.

Its rather shocking to see so many people willing to ignore the factthat an eploit has happened here simply because it was a goon titan that died.

NC.dot has been trying to declare based on a Screen shot that the titans jumped in at ranges of 100km plus

You dont see it because you are chosing to not see it.

It is very very easy to see where the titans are moving and draw a line back to where they were.

How much more evidence do you want exactly? We have literally caught them in the act in a video.

Why would someone bump a titan into a POS rather than use their DD?

Why is it so hard for people to backtrack these ships to the point of impact?

I swear, its like trying to herd cats in trying to get these people to draw a damn line.

I want to know if we can get away with using this tactic if N3 can.

If thats the case then we have a green light to bump titans out of POS.

When you look back over the last few years you see a lot of exploits and game imbalances have been fixed thanks to our efforts.

If it didnt get flagged by ccp this time then it wont get flagged in the future. If CCP state that this wasnt an exploit then every titan within 2km of the shield edge is fair game.

Can we agree on three points here :

1/ Bumping a titan that is FULLY INSIDE a pos shield without a password IS an exploit

2/ Bumping a titan that is PARTIALLY OUTSIDE a pos shield i.e untargetable but ass sticking out IS NOT an exploit

3/ Bumping a titan that is FULLY OUTSIDE a pos shield i.e targetable but ass sticking out IS NOT an exploit

4/ This video does not clearly show WHICH of these situations was true, in this case.

meanwhile we can see where the bumping incident happened just by looking at were the ships are moving.

So why would they cyno in at zero and bump the titan towards the pos when their DD have a range of 150km?

you honestly think that is more likely than cynoing in 15km long ships at zero on the pos sheilds to reach inside to bump a bridging titan out at 1000m/s+?

Hard to argue a point with someone who ignores evidence put right before them. We can all see the way the ships are moving. We can all see that Vees titan wasnt outside the POS due to it not getting blown up instantly. We can all see the titans being bounced in directions and speeds that indicate a cyno bump. Anyone of my age remembers pos bowling and it looks exactly like what is happening here.

If N3 get away with this even after posting this video then it can only mean pos bowling is now a legit tactic. But hey, its not suprising that the people who post mostly grr goon comments are turning a blind eye to an exploit being used agaist us. Rest assured, if we had done this the mob would be crying for our heads and with a lot less evidence.

Again, if he was outside the pos why would they cyno right on top of him to bump him through the pos rather than cyno in at range and just DD him?

That is what they did this time.
