Hardin	Posted - 2006.05.15 08:55:00 - [1] Edited by: Hardin on 15/05/2006 08:55:13 I am sure most of you know about this already but I know for sure some of you don't after witnessing a number of people lose their ships to this trick over the past couple of days. A corporation - wittily called 'Gankerz' - set up a small POS in Yong - a 0.4 system. One of their members would then initiate a cyno field at the POS and inform local that a mothership or something equally cool was jumping in. Amazingly (and we witnessed this happening on several occasions) curious neutrals would warp to the cyno to see what was happening and then get warp scrambled and ganked by the POS. I am pleased to say that this particular POS has now been explosively dismantled by the CVA but I just wanted to remind people that warping to CYNOs is not necessarily the smartest thing to do. -------------------------------------------- Smiting pirates and terrorists for Amarr

poepmongool	Posted - 2006.05.15 09:19:00 - [4] A corp called muffinman does the same in the system Messoya. It traps the most of the newer players. Pretty *** on the first hand, but pretty smart on the other too :). Beware for cynosural fields everyone!
Cyborg3201	Posted - 2006.05.15 09:59:00 - [5] i whas in gankerz corp only 2 people in it now (that are alive) did not even know they hade cash for that you can kill them on site dont be scared off corp numbers __________________________ Cybernetics in Motion
Twilight Moon	Posted - 2006.05.15 10:01:00 - [6] Lol....why would you go near a Cyno field if its not yours? "Oooh.....pretty lights....OMGWTFMOTHERSHIP!! BBQ!!"
Jebidus Skari	Posted - 2006.05.15 10:09:00 - [7] That is so cheap

We stole and blew up FStenz Anathema which he left outside the POS a few days ago and last night executed the POS... -------------------------------------------- Smiting pirates and terrorists for Amarr
Seleene	Posted - 2006.05.15 10:11:00 - [9] Edited by: Seleene on 15/05/2006 10:11:27 Originally by: Twilight Moon Lol....why would you go near a Cyno field if its not yours? It never fails. Every time we move a cap ship fleet, we always have an audience. It's always kind of amusing, especially when Golan starts using local chat to convert the local heathens. When a couple ships jump in, people are usually all, "Ooohhh... pretty!" When ten or twelve jump in people start asking questions like, "You're not shooting at us are you??" - History of the MC movie!

HippoKing	Posted - 2006.05.15 10:54:00 - [13] thriving off other player's stupidity is not an exploit: its what a lot of eve is about
Miss Overlord	Posted - 2006.05.15 10:58:00 - [14] mmm if u wanna see a regular dread or carrier imperium recharge their ships with traffic control being the alt cyno field layer and ciz menjij (not sure on spelling) coming out near KFR-ZE

We did this to bob once (without the local melodrama though) and they warped a interceptor and a battleship to a large POS....Hilarity ensues! "Warp to me..." Raptor and Ares Fix
Plutoinum	Posted - 2006.05.15 11:06:00 - [16] Grats to the one, who had this idea.
Max Teranous	Posted - 2006.05.15 11:07:00 - [17] I've seen it happen a couple of times - people just can't help clicking that "warp to". Very amusing tho Max

Let's not forget the old chestnut of the sabbed set of instas. The look like a normal set of instas but some will drop you onto a sun or hostile POS. The really funny one is when the POS they drop onto has nothing to do with you and it kicks off a whole messy chain of events. Never buy instas from strangers >> RECRUITING <<

F Stenz	Posted - 2006.05.15 12:09:00 - [20] Edited by: F Stenz on 15/05/2006 12:11:22 omg pirats it was a mining pos :(
F Stenz	Posted - 2006.05.15 12:15:00 - [21] not my fault people warps in at cyno when we are trying to get oure mining mothership in to help mining
James Lyrus	Posted - 2006.05.15 12:20:00 - [22] Or for real evils, leave the guns offline, and just cover it with ECMs scramblers and webbers. Can't warp, max speed 0.1 gives plenty of time to 'negotiate'. Unless they just want to eject and warp off of course. -- We are recruiting We sell Chimeras.
Twilight Moon	Posted - 2006.05.15 12:25:00 - [23] Do it in Gyerzen. Last time I saw one open there, a small crowd had gathered. You'll make a fortune in Strip Miner loot. Silly miners.
ParMizaN	Posted - 2006.05.15 12:27:00 - [24] While it is very lame it's a good lesson for the curious newbies Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful

We had quite a funny one during the last IMP/VC war. Evol were moving their cap ships back from Outer Ring, one of the stops being Hophib. Cyno goes up and one of the hostiles goes to poke about, or at least I assume that's what he was doing from the exclamation in local shortly after it jumped up by about 15-20 people.

Kilo Paskaa	Posted - 2006.05.15 13:03:00 - [27] Clever boys, gotta make Pos so i could use this too . -------- As you can see, i pwned Kieron for iskies.
St Dragon	Posted - 2006.05.15 13:39:00 - [28] Originally by: Kilo Paskaa Clever boys, gotta make Pos so i could use this too . I prefer myidea [less expensive]. Just follow the wow cool croud warping in to see the capital ship warp in. Make sure i am cloaked when the kiling stops and the cap ship flys off scoop up the free loot. ----------------------------------------------- "Kill one man, and you are a murderer.

Cruhser Walker	Posted - 2006.05.15 14:05:00 - [29] I wont deny that we had an pos out there. but, there were no guns on the pos. I guarantee it. They attacked it with no reason what so ever. This is an excellent example of a alliance using unprovocatin force and dictatorship. cyber, u've been kicked from the corp, so ofcourse would make some false information.
