This is just a post for let everyone know that there is an ENORMOUS issue with the use of Titans regarding pos.
The fact is simple, and i will explain it in the most simple way, with the experience i had 2 days ago:
I was insisde my small pos in hostile territory, i noticed a cynosural and a freaking big gang of capitals came in, i was in my Nidhoggur and in fron of me i had a mixture of capitals, 1 Avatar, 1 Nyx, i saw an archon and some other big stuffs.
Inside the shield pos i just feel safe as should be and i start to work for preparing the pos at the reinforced mode, meanwhile i notice the AVATAR warping at 0 Meters from the tower (he was @ 300km) and it just completely entered the force shield, i prompty understood that i would have been bumped as hell so i prepared my alt for jumping away asap, lucky i had 5 wcs so i was able to warp away and jump outside the system but if i had not 5 wcs this trick would have ****** me.
Now my question is:
Is correct that owning an avatar/titan means that you can just negate the protection that a pos force field give? bumping out entire fleets of ships is not hard with this tactic.
I petitioned about this issue, first i was replied that is a serious issue and there will be a penality for who used it, then the second day another gm just told me that "bumping is a game mechanic, not exploit"
Oh well, so bumping stuff INSIDE a force field is accepted? i must be sincere, i'm totaly changing my mind about pos usefulness if this is NOT an exploit.

Happens since ages even if you have a password set, people can warp in a 0km and try to bump stuff out of the forcefield.
But since there are ship maintenance arrays, which also are accessible in reinforced mode, just dont let ships float empty in a POS...

Yes but the problem is that it negates the use of the pos as "safe spot" where the fleet can wait the right moment to fight.... if you have less number they can realy take you out of the box and screw you...
at the same time they can use it when you are deploying a pos, even if you have succesfully putted online the tower they can bump out of the pos the modules that you want to anchor et similar stuff...
obviously the titan get bumped out of the shield but it takes few seconds for bumping to occur, so he bump out everything beign so enormous!!

Yeah, I've watched a certain titan owning alliance repeatedly bump ships out of a POS by warping in with their supercaps. GM didn't do anything about it that time, but it does seem to be a pretty clear exploit of POS mechanics |

Well if you take the Titan as the unstoppable force, and the POS as the immovable object.
When a Titan warps at 0km the Titan being an unstoppable force should stop
The POS being an immovable object should move

Do we need to guess who the titan belonged to?
Seriously. Bumping is part of the game, but exploiting that little break in the code that allows your ship to enter the bubble for a second or two before being whammed out is a solid exploit.
Someone's not thinking up there.

pos = a lot of work putting it up, making it run. So make a safe haven than. That is, until you start pewpewing it  . Very lame bug imo

Do you know WHY it landed inside the shields? Because you were dictor bubbling inside the shields.
So next time, check who's fault it is that it landed inside the bubble mkay?

It doesn't matter how it got there, that's still an exploit. Plus even without the dictor bubble it will land inside the shields and do this, I've seen it done with carriers many months ago.

ahh....
An entire night camping a sol with a reenforce but otherwise harmless pos.
Lots of ships inside, you are in friggies?
And thus pos-bunjee was born.
You make a diving can ~200 over the pos.
Add a target can so it creates an interesting line.
Dive to the target can @specific range (the distance of the target can from phat bs), and try to bump off the bs.
What you're looking for is to literally warp through the target bs and land like 1km in front of it. Then with some luck you will take it out with you as you get bumped off at crazy speeds.
I wonder if smartbombs could work like this...

It does not matter wether you warping into his pos and potentially bumping otherwise "safe" ships out was his fault or not. Its still an exploitable tactic obtainable by whatever means - one of which has already been described by Dahin.
But i find CCP's response amusing. At first accepting that this was an exploit, and then turning around and telling us it isnt, as if the person responsible for sorting the petition suddenly thought "well hey, thats bloody hilarious, lets keep it in!"

I'm shocked - just shocked - that the honorable BoB would ever try and use any exploit to get over on their virtual foes.
BTW, nice going Shrike. Blame the OP, and deny you had any involvement with exploiting game mechanics. BoB has such a great reputation these days, I'm sure someone will believe you.

Lol your sig is funny. If you pull your head out of your ass was there really anything bob could of done in that case? The dictor bubble pulled them out inside the pos. So should they have just not warped in because they don't want to risk the dictor bubble pulling them into the pos and possibly bumping stuff out? But no blame the dev hax and xploits and continue to hold onto them as reason your inept coalition is losing their space at a rapid rate.

If there were no bubble wouldn't you[or anyone in a titan for that matter] be able to warp to zero on the POS anyway and do the same thing?
Seems like something that ought to be changed/fixed whether or not the OP was at fault for putting the bubble there.

mm... so you're saying you jumped and warped a titan into an enemy POS for any other reason than to bump the guy out? It was irrelevant if he was dictor bubbling or not. Whoever was controlling your account at the time warped to that POS with the express intention of bumping that ship out and therefore exploiting.

please correct me if I am wrong on this.
1. BoB warped a titan into POS. they claim they had no other option, as there was a dictor bubble inside pos shield.
2. dictor bubbles only prevent warp (AoE scrambler) and do not pull out of warp ?
So either I have to look up info on dictor bubles, there was a mobile warp discuptor anchored inside pos shield, or BoB is simply covering their tactic.
I do not mean to be rude on anybody, I just want to get correct information either way.

Bubbles pull you out of warp if you are on course towards them.
Doesn't matter either way if this was an intentional effect or not, it needs fixing in this age of supercap and pos warfare.

Dictor bubbles pull you out of warp if the probe was placed BEFORE the incoming ships entered warp.
If the probe was placed after the ship was in warp, it wouldnt have made a difference.

In your hurry to escape your impending doom, did you see the Titan rebound from the POS forcefield? If so, no bug, no exploit.
If you bookmark a tower, and warp into it, you will find you fall within the forcefield. There is then a second or so delay as the servers realise you're where you shouldn't be, and propel you outside the POS forcefield.
I fail to see this as a problem, apart from highlighting how idiotic the playerbase can be at times.

Well its an exploit if you have a massive ship AND are using it purposly to warp into the POS to bump ships out of the bubble.

The OP doesn't clarify exactly what happened, so it's really all supposition. I will concede that had the Titan been warped in, with the intention to bounce the OP's Carrier out of POS, then yes, it would be an exploit.
However, the OP doesn't say he was bumped out, he doesn't say what happens to the Titan, he doesn't say much at all. This entire thread is simply based on accusations of BOB being cheaters, and lack of any substance from the OP. It would have been pertinent to know that there was a dictor bubble at the POS, and yet the OP failed to mention it. It would also have helped to know what happened after the Titan insertion, and yet the OP fails to mention it.
Yet somehow this is enough grounds for the bandwagon to roll on through and lo and behold, its suddenly an exploit. So, please, use your brain for what it was intended, and actually apply some thought to the content of this thread. Without more details from the OP there's no way to come to a satisfactory conclusion regarding the use of this 'exploit'.
You take what is offered. And that must sometimes be enough. |

You mean like how small have the smallest shield size, medium a little bigger, and large have like 30km or so

A mechanic doesn't have to be exploited for it to be exploitable. It's irrelevant whether bob exploited it or not.
Fact is it's an unintended effect of game mechanics, which can be used to give benefit towards the user. Unless CCP come out saying they intended for people to be able to bump ships out of POS's that have active forceshields, then it's unintended behaviour.
I'd certainly not like to see it used against me, and I could hardly call myself above the likes of RA and their past abuses of mechanics, if I condoned the same on our side.

cant help at laugh really, would have loved to have seen it lol, can imagine being bumped of a shield in that, waiting for the damn thing to come to a stop then warping back into position lol

Seems like CCP are calling it a 'game mechanic' to help side track people from their obvious lack in game code and even worse their lack of responcibility for things that dont work correctly.
This game is 4+ years old and yet it still have severe game mechanical errors...

BoB has been petitioned for doing this before, and GM's said it was an exploit. You can do it with motherships and titans safely, since they cannot be warp scrambled.

Or maybe, just maybe, your not supposed to litter ships around inside the POS shield? Ship maintenance arrays aren't just around for the sake of it y'know.
Just somthing to consider.

I'll throw a little oil on the fire ...
In the original post, there is not a single mention of BoB or warp bubble ... and the post is not very clear nor informative ...
The first time a bubble was mentionned was when a BoB member came here, believing it was about them, and defended the tactic ...
Anyway, I think that being able to be inside a hostile POS shield, even for just a second, is a BUG ... that you can use that BUG to bump ships outside of their own POS is indeed the definition of an exploit, no matter who used it ...
Bumping is indeed a game mechanic, but another game mechanic is the POS force field that should keep unauthorized people out of it, both are valid, but one is apparently broken, and exploited (yes, I said it) to be able to use the other (bumping) where you should not be able to.

This is just a post for let everyone know that there is an ENORMOUS issue with the use of Titans regarding pos.
The fact is simple, and i will explain it in the most simple way, with the experience i had 2 days ago:
I was insisde my small pos in hostile territory, i noticed a cynosural and a freaking big gang of capitals came in, i was in my Nidhoggur and in fron of me i had a mixture of capitals, 1 Avatar, 1 Nyx, i saw an archon and some other big stuffs.
Inside the shield pos i just feel safe as should be and i start to work for preparing the pos at the reinforced mode, meanwhile i notice the AVATAR warping at 0 Meters from the tower (he was @ 300km) and it just completely entered the force shield, i prompty understood that i would have been bumped as hell so i prepared my alt for jumping away asap, lucky i had 5 wcs so i was able to warp away and jump outside the system but if i had not 5 wcs this trick would have ****** me.
Now my question is:
Is correct that owning an avatar/titan means that you can just negate the protection that a pos force field give? bumping out entire fleets of ships is not hard with this tactic.
I petitioned about this issue, first i was replied that is a serious issue and there will be a penality for who used it, then the second day another gm just told me that "bumping is a game mechanic, not exploit"
Oh well, so bumping stuff INSIDE a force field is accepted? i must be sincere, i'm totaly changing my mind about pos usefulness if this is NOT an exploit.
Wow most people have to use pods to do that. Guess it pays to have deep pockets.

bubble in the first post equals shield on a POS. There's no interdiction sphere, just a small active POS, a titan, and the player in the first post. I think this should be considered an exploid because POSs are meant to be a safe haven where strontium protects you. If a Titan can simply be allowed to knock a player out of a POS through bumping, it removes the point of having it for protection.
I dont know if this is how it's done, but on the test server, I've seen titans idle in a large POS while the player is offline. What's keeping that titan from being bumped out of the POS and destroyed? I'm sure it'd be petitioned as an exploit and immediately reimbursed. What's different between a Titan in that case or even a tier 1 frigate.

In your hurry to escape your impending doom, did you see the Titan rebound from the POS forcefield? If so, no bug, no exploit.
If you bookmark a tower, and warp into it, you will find you fall within the forcefield. There is then a second or so delay as the servers realise you're where you shouldn't be, and propel you outside the POS forcefield.
I fail to see this as a problem, apart from highlighting how idiotic the playerbase can be at times.
His issue is that in the few seconds while the server realizes you shouldnt be in the bubble and bounces you out, you can still bump other ships that were in the pos out of the bubble. If you happen to be in a titan and do this, you can actually bump just about everything not nailed down out of the bubble.
So... defending force is sitting inside their bubble, contemplating how they are going to defend. In warps a titan and does a big "POS bowling" number, knocking everything out of the bubble before it bounces out. Attacking fleet can then wtfpwn all the stuff/people that got knocked out of the bubble.
^^ that would seem to indicate a bug and/or failure in the mechanics that should be fixed.

Why do people read this post and go OMG Dictor Bubble or LMFAO Newb use maint array?
He was sitting inside his POS and was bumped out by a Titan taking advantage of the warp lag. He saw it coming and stabbed up. He's in a carrier, and can't really put it in the ship array quickly. The aggressors knew that, and took advantage of game mechanics to try to gank the ship.
Hell, I know exactly what bug he's talking about. Maybe some of you all have never been bounced outside a POS bubble before, but you DO warp in right on top of whatever you bookmarked, shield or no shield. And if there is a shield, you are inside it for a bit. Not that hard to understand, folks.

make lame tactics a risky business by reducing the rebound range from the pos shield of an incoming enemy ship to 50km, so the pos disruptor batteries can catch it and make this pos disruptor affect all capital ships like comon ships regardless of their immunity.

ok two things,
using titans or any capital to play bowling with enemy ships in a pos should be an exploit punishable by ship destruction or teleportation to jita.....
second what is the purpose of putting a dictor bubble at a pos? only thing I can think of is to suck an enemy covops or something in that warped to that moon and decloak em so the pos can pop em? any other reasons? and if that is so think that maybe that should be an exploit as well.

a new sport invented?
super cap bowling
lets say a fleet(1) is sitting inside a pos, they are low on numbers.....whatever...
and another fleet(2) jumps 2-3 supercap's in on the pos.
1. is it an exploit if the intention is to bump them out?(and it works)
2. would you be able to petition this?

Regardless of the answer to all of these very important questions of what constitutes an exploit, can we all agree that the concept of "Bowling for Badgers" deserves a 5-minute spot on the next EveTV broadcast?

I just saw this tactic used today, and you do not need a supercapital to do it. Gang warping normal capitals does the trick too.
According to CCP this is part of the game mechanics and it is supposed to be possible.
One of the nastier consequences of this is that cyno ships can't be stored at the pos with the intention of jumping in a fleet after the pos goes to reinforced.
The ship cannot be stored in the ship maintains array with fuel, and the fuel cannot be removed from corp hangar array after the pos goes into reinforced. Since you're supposed to be able to remove all ships from inside the pos shields, you cannot leave it there.
That leaves just two options:
- cyno fuel must be transported to the pos after it goes to reinforced by conventional means, or
- one char must be logged off at the pos/in the system in a cyno ship at all times.
This CANNOT be the way pos warfare is supposed to work.

Would an unanchored GSC inside the force field solve your problems?
Edit: Or, alternately, just steal the ozone from the tower's stockpile? Not sure if that works or not, I don't have a reinforced-mode POS to play with.

as a simple aside, one might wonder why you can deploy a dictor bubble inside a pos when you cant do much of anything else, ie fire guns, lock targets, cloak .. etc. |

I call it bowling for ships. 70 empty hostile ships at a pos? Bowl em all out and come back in a pod. If you get out, you get the ship, if you you get popped by the POS guns, you get the insurance. It is a win win.

This is silly. If you warp to a pos, you should be stopped right at the edge of the force field. You should not warp all the way in and then be bumped out again. Obvious flaw in the game mechanics regarding pos shields there.

Storing your Cyno Ozone in an unanchored can doesn't work as the can will be bumped in exactly the same way as a ship.
With a Dictor bubble up inside the POS one has to wonder why the Titan initiated warp...

you can warp any ship/pod into a POS, I know this because i've done it.
No dictor bubbles involved, just warp to the POS at 0 (or unluckily to the moon at the same spot the POS is anchored at). you'll land inside the shields and promptly get thrown out. it works with any ship, u're just gonna lose anything but a cap trying it. (unless you get lucky and can cloak again in a split second).
It is a ****ty bug and should be stopped the shield should work the same way a warp bubble/dictor bubble works and stop you at the outside edge of it.
