Ki An Gallente Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.11.05 15:07:00 - [1] To be perfectly honest, while I think this tactic is pretty **** low, it does serve one extremely good purpose. People who up until this tactic was invented have been invunerable are now feeling some pain. Staying in an NPC corp in high-sec is even lower than any tactic Lofty uses. Almost as low as logging off when attacked :) /Ki
Ki An Gallente Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.11.05 15:12:00 - [2] Originally by: Mad Scot Edited by: Mad Scot on 05/11/2006 15:09:33 Only been in an npc corp for just under a month whilst I decided what to do in the game, thankfully lofty helped me with that decision. One month old... flying a faction battleship... Did you by any chance buy your character on e-bay? /Ki
Ki An Gallente Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.11.05 15:13:00 - [3] Originally by: Thelastangel The view that logging off is low (sic) is because its viewed as meta-gaming. Staying in an NPC corp is not Meta-gaming. Using an alt to gang, then allow in your own other characters who are war-decced to carry out this tactic..(usually only one actual player doing this) is therefore...Metagaming (as by strict definition is the use of alt spies/ scouts in 0.0) Don't you just love hypocrisy. Never said it was an exploit or metagaming. Just said that I think it's low and lame. If you don't wanna play EVE, cancel your subscription. There are far FAR better PvE games out there. /Ki

Yep, sorry 'bout the assumption. I guess it's true what they say about assuming :) Sorry for your loss. /Ki

You cannot shoot the wartargets of your gangmates before they shoot you because if it was the other way, you could just gang all your friends in different corps and blob an opponent. Now you need to be all in the same corp to blob them :) Hope that makes those issues clear. /Ki

What? .. rephrase that please, it does not make sense When in a war, a common way to end it, or to just measure yourself against the wartarget that don't involve a massive fleetbattle is to invite a member of the enemy corp to a 1-vs-1 (champions of the armies). The two warp to a safespot (in gang to be able to warp to the same safespot) and dish it out. Originally by: Radioactive Babe Originally by: Ki An You cannot shoot the wartargets of your gangmates before they shoot you because if it was the other way, you could just gang all your friends in different corps and blob an opponent. Now you need to be all in the same corp to blob them But do any of Loftys targets see a flashing player? (not the flashing square around them) I would not think so as they are not technically at war with lofty or his alts. The flashing red would indicate a valid target, and Lofty or his alts are not valid targets until they open fire on the unsuspecting player. The point I am trying to make is not about Lofty or his tactics, but rather to explain why these mechanics are in place. /Ki
Ki An Gallente Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.11.06 14:49:00 - [7] Originally by: Bistot Kid It's such a shame there's no safe ad-hoc way of ganging for casual players. My alt has Mining Director IV and a BC with the mining bonus module fitted, and I've offered the chance for fellow miners to gang with me. I feel like I've helped a fellow player, they get free ore for doing nothing, it costs me nothing. Win-win all around, but everyone is **** scared because it opens the door to getting ganked. That well known saying translated into Eve terms: Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you can get your mates to come along and smash him over the head with your fishing rod and nick all his fish. Simple solution for this: Join a player-corp. You can help out everyone in your corp while getting protection from them. Seems fair, no? /Ki
Ki An Gallente Ginnungagaps Rymdfarargille Tre Kroner	Posted - 2006.11.06 15:25:00 - [8] Originally by: Bistot Kid Aye, seems fair. Cheers for the offer man. Where are your headquarters? I'll come over and sign up if I get online tonight. I play a couple of hours a week some weeks, others I play none. Don't see you relative low activity as a problem. However, unless you are Swedish you'll have to find another corp to join If you are Swedish, you're welcome to Shuria. /Ki
