Originally by: Captain Havoc Ok now this might sound weird to you since i haven't heard of an actual confirmed case of hacking or cheating in eve yet, but i do believe i just expierenced one, i was fly with my alt in a Occator with all T2 expanders (2 in the hold to accomodate for some stabs) and a Estamel Modified Cloak on board, rather pricey, i warped to the Konora gate and saw a pirate in a Typhoon sitting there, since i didn't really want him to follow me through into the low sec i thought i'd sit and wait, hopefully he'd get bored at staring at me and fire a shot then i could jump through without him following me, but no, i landed about 2-3k's from him when i came out of warp at the gate, he didn't even lock me, he did however ram me, he went from a complete stand still to ramming my Occator out to 1.7k/s, so he accelerated enough to do that within 2-3k's? i don't think that's right, can anyone think of any module (even the newly changed inertial damps) that could afford a BS that kind of acceleration? i don't think so, but anyways, after he rammed me out from the gate i realise i wasn't locked, so i hit the cloak, i cloaked, he swung back into ram me againabout 2 seconds later barely missing me and decloaking me, he didn't have enough point for a scram but he continued to ram me, my Occator was staying at about 1k/s due to this ramming and being pushed all over the place, no chance to align to warp out, he popped me finally, 200 or so mil down the drain, question is how the hell did a BS get that much acceleration in such a short distance, then continue to be all over me more than a inty would, i think there's some cheating going on here, something isn't right and i sure hope CCP finds out what it is, if it is cheating, i hope that he is permabanned, if it turns out to be all within the standard modules of the game, then damn, i'm going to get me one, the lameness never ceases, ramming to stop people from warping, i guess that's why pirates are pirates, they don't mind being lame.
Sounds like you encountered a Ramphoon. Lows full of a mix of nanos & i-stabs, high end MWD, good nave skills and snake implants to taste.
Ramming people out of alignment or out of dock / jump range is a perfectly valid tactic. Personally when I'm hauling I use a blockade runner with ECM and an MWD of my own to get out of such situations.
Sorry for your loss but you put 200mil worth of eggs in one basket then tried to play chicken with a pirate on a gate. It's not lame, he just bested you. Suck it up, learn from it and move on.
