Hi,
I am currently ratting in 0.0, there is a corp that will stop at nothing to destroy me and my wingmen, when we see them enter local we always fly ss and logoff, I feel that this is an accepted practice because these ganksters come in packs of 10 or 20. There are only 2 or 3 of my corp and we couldnt possibly take on these guys.
I know that alot of other pilots use this logoff tactic, and im interested to read what other people think. I will continue to use this tactic now that wcs have been nerfed, I think that if pilots want to fight me with completly ridiculous odds then they should accept that I will logoff if i feel ship destruction is sure to happen.

Well, the amount of threads about "logoffski" that have been made before. You are in 0.0, you really should expect the situation you have described.
Warning to the OP, you are now going to be subjected to a torrent of flame methinks :)

Hi!
Did you know that if you had a POS in system, you could go there and safely wait out these "gankers". Even more astounding, you could all fit for pvp and go shoot back at them! --

warping to a safespot and logging off while ratting is not lame it's just smart. I am really not sure why you posted here tbh.
Now if you were stupid enough to get caught by these guys and were in the middle of getting ganked, and you logged off, that is lame and not cool, learn to take it like a man.

You my friend are a sad loser and should go play toon town. If you want to play in 0.0 yet not face the realistic consequences of doing that then you really should try a different game if all you do is log off to avoid death.
I cant believe you expect fair fights in 0.0 and as a matter of principal log off if you feel the odds are not in your favor. You are the type of player I absolutely despise with all my gaming heart.
Go buy freelancer and stop bothering us people who actually want to play eve the way it should be played.

Edited by: Noluck Ned on 29/11/2006 11:45:39 So warping between safespots until they go away has never crossed your mind? In that way at least you are "PVP'ing" to a certain extent at least. By actively working to avoid your enemy you are winning, by winning by refusing to play you are nothing but a lame loser.
When I started ratting in 0.0 to make my fortune that was what I would do. Keep my eyes glued to local and an those days I had NO friends in 0.0 at all. It never crossed my mind to log off, I have never been a very good metagamer.
Hmm also....whoever your enemies are they are doing it wrong, if they are jumping into your systems with 20 ships from the word go. I worry when I see one hostile/nuetral in local not when it spikes by 20.
Edit: Cept when those twenty are on the ingate Thats when I set the gate as first waypoint and run for my life.(Dont get into that situation with BS cause I dont run em around without a scout less my insurance is set to expire soon)

I have no problem with people logging off in SS. What I don't like is people logging off when caught in bubbles or when scrambled, webbed and in armour.

i also feel that warping to an SS and then logging off is fine and not at all lame - i mean als long as you actually can warp to the SS then you could also just make a few new SS in the system and then change SS every few minutes - that is legal but boring and no1 can probe you that way so whats the problem with loging at an SS?
what i find more on the lame side is if you really "logoffski" meaning you escape out of a situation which you could not avoid without CTRL + Q but as long as your able to warp to an SS unhindered then i really don't see what the problem is. _________________ DV |

QFT.
I don't anything wrong with warping to an SS and logging to wait out a potential attack. Its a world of different from actually being caught, webbed, scrammed and choosing to wimp out via ctrl+Q rather than face the consequences of being caught in 0.0.
Personally I would prefer to play evading the pirates for as long as I could by use of different safespots rather than logging out, but thats just me.

This is NOT a logoff tactic.
A logoff tactic is logging in a warp bubble or waiting with a scout in local and logging ON to catch a frighter or slow fleet moving between distant gates.
What your doining is OK, and in fact if you look at other threads about 0.0 ratting people will say "Watch local and then SS when a pirate you cant/dont want to fight comes into the system.
However...
You should change your Sig to something else m8. _______________________________________________

Logging out to avoid situations in game is lame. Logging in to circumvent recon, spring traps or otherwise create undetectable traps is also lame.

You know If I am system ratting hostile space or not and gang of hostiles comes into local, i'll go to my safespot. I 'll stay logged on for while just see if they move along, if they probe i'll move safespots. If they don't give up, i'll log off because they are not going to catch me. I find ratting very boring i find warping between safespots even more so. I'll log get a drink, go to the sho pmaybe play some css and come back in 30 minutes or so, if that is lame then yes that is me.

log off tactics blow small male goats.
warping to s safe spot then logging is not illegal or considered a log off.
i might suggest that you try fitting a cloaking device to your ship. when they appear in local Safe spot and cloak, scan local as far out as you can for scan probes. should any be dropped. warp to 2nd safe spot after declaoking then log.
anyone who says that is lame is just stupid. its smart thinking.
logging off ina warp bubble or dictor bubble after jumping through a gate is very bad mmmkay?
I have post 100m isk in implants for not loggign off. but even tho i was semi gutted I knew at the end of the day I didnt not do what alot are doing now days. including others I shall not mention who SUGGESTED i do so coz everyne else is doing it.
i say good job mate keep it up. just dont do proper log offs -

My 0.02ISK....
What the OP is doing is totally fine in my book, and from what other posters are saying...
If you can warp to a SS, thats you avioded them, if they use prodes you can keep warping to another SS and so on....you could be doing this for 20-40mins and can be boring. The hostiles would never catch you as you keep heading to a new SS, so LOGOFF is acceptable.
Logoff when you see a warp bubble/interdictor is WRONG Logoff when you jump through and see a gate camp is WRONG

But if you keep em searching for you for 20-40 minutes then until they give up, next time they probably wont bother. As things stand now they will always come back hoping to catch you by surprise. Any gank squad worth its salt will want to keep moving instead of wasting their time going after someone that has PROVEN to them that they are not worth the effort of chasing.(Note: Unless their name is tony1, believe me that man has the patience of a saint and the kill stats to prove it)
Play the game within the mechanics and stop being so selfish, we cant stop you from logging but at the same time you must appreciate that your enemies are also trying to have a good time, even if their version of enjoyment involves your destruction. Evade them often enough and they will have to respect you even if they would never admit it. Log off and run will earn you nothing but contempt.
Personally I wish NPC's caused aggro countdown. We would see a swift end to the i-win button pushers.
On another note: Oooh the new probing is gonna force a lot of people to keep logging in and out for a whole 15 minutes .

Any ganks quad worth its salt wont spend 20-40 minutes trying to get one ship. Only noobs would do that.

Well running away from a 10+ gank squad while you are in a npc fitted BS, there are times when you have to say "I can't win this"

Your ignorant reply tells me alot about you, you in fact are the sad loser. Im saving up for a carrier and have almost got the money,
Let me see if i understand your silly logic, you would suggest I fight when im outnumbered 10 to 1 and cannot possibly win, or quit playing a game I enjoy?
