Lilan Kahn Amarr The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.04 13:10:00 - [1] i disagree. Originally by: Eris Discordia We break after X amount of threads, then we go wild and then we get our medication.
Lilan Kahn Amarr The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.04 22:17:00 - [2] i find agent runners all the time in low sec with 5 au and 10 au probes on my cov ops if you cant thats course frankly you suck.

I'm assuming that you probably have the same skills as I do, like Cov Ops to 5, Astrometrics 5, all the secondary Astrometric skills to 4, (I'm training pinpointing to 5 as we speak), and have a full working knowledge of the probe strength forumla with respect to probe type/strength, range, target type and sensor strength. That being said, I'm playing the exact same game you are, and using the exact same probes. I seriously doubt that if you were to try and probe the same targets as I am, that you would have any more success than I am currently having (or not having, as the case may be). I therefore think that you are too stupid to realize this, and that is why you could think that the above comment was appropriate and/or a valid remark. My track list of ganks on mission runners says other wise, haveing cause close 3.69 billion in colateral damage over 2 weeks. infact i have less skills than yours maxed. Also i dont use racial probes as i can get in 6 scans on a 5 au probe in the time it takes me to use 1 of the others. so no i aint talking crap, i just know what i do.

Lilan Kahn Amarr The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.05 08:21:00 - [4] I really dislike the fact that we can't just use the recon probes to do the probing and have to resort to using a probe that is designed for finding complexes to find mission runners, when they're clearly not designed to do. Really weak. CCP gives us a tool to use and then removes it's ability to do it's job. Speak for your self found a raven last night with a 20 au probe in abut 10 mins. also it was the only raven in space Originally by: Eris Discordia We break after X amount of threads, then we go wild and then we get our medication.
Lilan Kahn Amarr The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.05 10:54:00 - [5] Originally by: Bellum Eternus Originally by: Hoshi You say the drones have minimal impact but the compound chance of finding at least 1 out of 5 heavy drones is higher than finding the domi itself. Btw seems I did make some mistakes in my math just above as well, so here is the correct math. Domi signal size: 19.1 Domi finding chance: 1.53% Heavy drone (single) signal size: 5.7 Heavy drone (single) finding chance: 0.46% Heavy drone (5 drones) finding chance: 1-((1-0.0046)^5) = 2.23% Domi + 5 heavy drones finding chance: 3.76% Domi + 5 heavy drones finding chance with 15 scans: 43.7% Domi (without drones) finding chance with 15 scans: 20.6% TYVM for the stats! 15 scans @ ~35 sec/scan is a little over 7m or so. I'm going to try and give recon probes another go and see if I can even break 20% success within 1 probe's lifetime. Personally I feel that a 2.23% chance per scan cycle is way too low to be effective. I have extremely bad luck when it comes to chance based anything, and for some reason it always feels like I'm not even having average success when it comes to actually finding mission runners. err you didnt scan for drones ? no wounder you where haveing such horid luck. also the amount of t2 drones floating in space makes for some nice extra cash Originally by: Eris Discordia We break after X amount of threads, then we go wild and then we get our medication.
Lilan Kahn Amarr The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.06 08:39:00 - [6] My assumption is incorrect? I'd bet that the majority of players being probed out on missions is due to people using racial scan probes and not recon probes. I never use a recon probe if I have the option to use a scan probe. dunno over 60 mission ganks useing normal probs they dont seam broken.

Lilan Kahn Amarr The Littlest Hobos	Posted - 2007.03.06 15:38:00 - [7] Originally by: Bellum Eternus Originally by: dot me Originally by: Bellum Eternus Now try to find a mission runner that is more than 4 au away from any celestial object, and in a position that is on the far side of any warpable object... the answer has already been given to you in this thread. get mission bookmarks. Precisely. You're missing my point. That is a work-around. A hack. Something to do when everything else that should work, doesn't. For all the imbiciles out there who think that I don't know how to use a scanner, don't know how to employ bookmarks to my advantage, and generally don't know what the ** I'm doing, GET A *** CLUE. I know what I'm doing. I know how to use work arounds to solve the problem. That's not my point. The point is that I shouldn't have to resort to using every other probe in existance except the correct one to find the occasional mission *. you shoud be useing any tools at hand to get the job done limteing and whineing that your tools are no good when others like me have no problems makes you tantrums look silly.
