I just want to comment that this is hilarious.

I was using my Legion w/ mobile depot to run combat site in the backwater regions of nullsec space (well aware of the risks, still safer than WH) when this guy comes into local with a Tengu attempting to combat scan me. I warp around, shrug off my combat timer, and then log out.

I go to sleep for eight hours. I wake up, grab some coffee, and then log back in. What do I see? He's still in system and there are two warp bubbles right on top of me. I attempt to move to the out edge and align with another planet, when he uncloaks.

HE WAITED. For eight hours this guy either took shifts with friends or actually parked his toon in that spot, and was ever-vigilant for eight hours.

Fortunately I escaped. He attempted to energy neut me and in the process drained his cap and offlined his disruptor for a few seconds. I waited out the 15-minute combat timer, all the while watching his probes follow me everywhere in the system. I've logged off, and have no idea what to do next.

I could try to enlist help, perhaps mercenaries. I could also wait him out, but I'm not quite sure that would work. He has to sleep at some point, but his friends don't. Logging in again is risky. Any advice would be appreciated.

You're not even logged in and you're wasting hours, if not days of time of some morons. You've already won.

Go get a tea and read a book.

This. Hopefully you have at least one other character you can do stuff on, thus satisfying your EVE habit while some ****** wastes days sitting in a null backwater waiting for you to log in.

For some reason, I have a feeling that this is hurting me more than it's hurting him.

I don't understand. How did he get bubbles at your login position? Or was he just still in system and you landed in one of his bubbles?

I think he managed to scan me down and was warping to my position as I finished the log-off timer.

Ah those poop-bucket owning no-lifers. Gotta hand it to them. We are all dying one minute at a time and they chose to use their limited number of heartbeats to do that!

Yeah, so terrible that people are able to do in life the things they enjoy, in this case play a game. Just disgusting. That camper should be grinding his life out working for someone else like the rest of us. He should be married to debt, paying all of his income out without saving much through life and then maybe enjoying some short retirement someday. Man, that's the life. How dare he buck the system.

Hey if they enjoy sitting in the same spot for eight hours and missing the rest of the EVE universe during that time more power to them. I would be out exploring!

It's not necessarily the case that he was no lifing your warp in for 8 hours. It's possible that he bubbled your logoff position and was in system when you logged back in. Warped to the spot cloaked, spotted you and uncloaked for the kill.

If he ran out of cap as you say, that means his hardeners would offline too. Why not turn around and stomp on his ass? You may not kill him without a scram but he would run away leaving you alone. Bait him and fight. If you're running combat sites I'm guessing your tanked and can do dps. Slap him a bit. Be more fun than what you're currently doing.

( still safer than WH) .

local

Cyno'd in a black ops

these things totally happen in wh's

Because in WH space you can totally see if anybody is in local, right? Now who would that give an edge to? The PvPer, or the PvEer? Given that I must uncloak to run sites, and that I'll never know just how many buddies he has with him, I'd say that being able to see who's in the system makes it far safer despite having to contend with BLOPs. The goal is to avoid a scenario in which you would even be engaged by a T3 to begin with, so I don't see why BLOPs makes it any more dangerous than a pair of cloaked T3s in WH space.

It's not cost effective to use all that time and those resources to "get you". The longer they do it, the more expensive it becomes for them. Even the epeen stroking aspect to it shrinks over time and effort. From your initial story, it seemed the guy was hit by an enormous stroke of luck and just couldn't let it go.

It's like the junkyard dog that pokes his head through a hole in a fence, sees a bone there, grabs it, then discovers he can't pull his head back through the hole still holding the bone. How long will it take for him to figure out life demands he drop the bone. He'll never get to gnaw it...unless he reasons a way to find his way to the other side of the fence....some other dog may get it...uht oh!

So, in this is all sorts of evidence that blind luck is playing a greater role than intelligence. The intelligent thing to do would have been to drop it as soon as the expense exceeds the booty. So, you can rely on the attributes of unintelligent people, one of which is the short attention span. Sure, their enthusiasm was sparked by their unbelievable luck to pinpoint you so fast. That fades fast though, and their real nature will kick in.

They'll soon start picking their belly button lint and have forgotten why they're there in the first place.

Interesting tale.

I forgot to mention it, but he cyno'd in a black ops as well. Not to mention the fact if I want to leave nullsec, I'll need to refit for exploration/cloak, which requires me to use my mobile depot. I can't do that if he's in system.

*Edit*

Happy ending. He wasn't there when I logged back in, roughly 16 hours later. Either he got bored or paranoid. In any event it appears as though I'm going to be able to get home.

Huh...didn't know a T3 could fit a cov-ops cyno.

WH space is safer. I live in null but do lots of exploration in WH space. Always safe in my Strat. Easy to tell if you're being hunted. Easier to get away. Run home to null or dive down the chain. Easy.

Sorry for your troubles.

Some people really like to stroke their killboards..

Nothing better to bump your board than a explo Legion that you know isnt equipped with friends/corp to help. Camp it 24/7 then link the kill to everyone to assert your "skillz".

I have been 24/7 camped into a station by no-life nullbeards. ....

someone willing to do this has multiple alts that he can play with while he waits for me. He's probably also using a splitscreen application that allows him to play without switching windows constantly.

If he ran out of cap as you say, that means his hardeners would offline too. Why not turn around and stomp on his ass? You may not kill him without a scram but he would run away leaving you alone.

What expense are you referring to here, as it literally costs him nothing but time to wait around? And if he's got a setup appropriate for this sort of thing, he's likely got his PVPer up on a screen, while he's doing other stuff on another, be that a different game, another character, whatever. Either way, I applaud his persistance, been in the shoes of someone like this, but have never spent THAT long waiting for someone to log back in. Would have to be an extremely juicy target, and even then I'd likely move on after an hour or so. I also applaud the OP for managing to slip away unscathed.

Opportunity cost. The entire time he is sitting waiting on you logging on he could be doing something to earn money.
