Spillen	Posted - 2007.05.11 22:00:00 - [1] One of my alts was recently killed in a shuttle moving something very valuable. The pirates that killed me were using a battleship sitting roughly 6k or so off the gate that I was on my way to. Their battleship was in alignment with the gate that I was warping from. Apparently when they see the shuttle show up on scanner they activate loads of smartbombs on this battleship; shuttle pops before you even drop out of warp and pod usually insta pops as well. No matter what ship you are moving your valuable possession in make sure you scout it first. Having even a small amount of tank can get you through the situation I just described. But the pirates can always position more smart bombing battleships to blow up more heavily tanked ships. Lesson of the day: scout scout scout. Also: ----> don't transport stuff in things that can insta-pop <---- Some of you knew about this crap already but some of you didn't. Consider yourself Warned.....

Spillen	Posted - 2007.05.12 00:01:00 - [6] Keep in mind mates... I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to warn everyone. Carry on with it. To give everyone a bit more info: The exact spot where I was killed (and where they are camping pretty much every day) was on the Novokaiken (spelling?) gate IN Tama. I repeat: IN Tama on the Novokaiken gate.

Spillen	Posted - 2007.05.12 00:22:00 - [9] Lol. Turbulent is obviously watching this thread like a hawk. I won't give you the satisfaction of knowing what I lost. But I will say that you dented my wallet so badly that I then proceeded to consume large amounts of alcohol.

Spillen	Posted - 2007.05.12 00:49:00 - [13] Edited by: Spillen on 12/05/2007 00:50:16 Lol it would be really lame if CCP did boost shuttles' hp or something. They won't of course (and they shouldn't) but it would be stupid. I'm just trying to warn my fellow rich eve players. The poor pirates are really getting insane with the tactics. Don't hate the pirates though guys. I mean c'mon, half of them are probably hurting for isk really badly. I give them props for figuring out a way to get a piece of some serious isk. I can only imagine what they've gained by using this tactic. Even further, I can only imagine what has been destroyed using this tactic.
Damien Smith Turbulent	Posted - 2007.05.12 00:56:00 - [14] No, the vindi bpc was in a rifter I think. I reckon it's the snake alpha guy. ----- Join channel 'Turby' or die! (bring pie)

You know the whole thing with smartbombing ships has been around a long time its nothing new.We smartbomb because we know people carry the nice goods in shuttles and small frigs.

Akane Miyamoto Coreli Corporation Corelum Syndicate	Posted - 2007.05.12 01:39:00 - [17] Smarties don't do dmg before you're out of warp (Patched a while ago) but yeah.. If you're in a shuttle or other small ship that goes instapop you're doomed ---------------
DarkElf Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.05.12 01:41:00 - [18] tbh it's a very noble attempt to warn ppl but anyone who follows eve-o in the slightest will know that u don't carry things of value in a frickin shuttle. sb bs have been uses for sooooo long. the only ppl who maybe need a warning are ppl not hugely into the game that don't follow eve forums and guides so won't really help them.

deathforge The Accursed	Posted - 2007.05.12 06:27:00 - [22] Originally by: Spillen I'm just trying to warn my fellow rich eve players. The poor pirates are really getting insane with the tactics. Right until that point, you were fast climbing the ranks of the best gankees in eve history. And then you went and had to act all smug. You almost tricked me into respecting your attitude, but I have thusly been forced to conclude that you deserved not only that loss, but countless more losses of greater value. And by the way, I rule you. ---------------------- Jerk + 122k skillpoints + Determination = Rifter of DoomÖ

Omg don't take it so seriously. A little sensitive?
TheJacko Gallente Turbulent	Posted - 2007.05.12 15:59:00 - [24] Originally by: Spillen Omg don't take it so seriously. A little sensitive? why post on the forums and tell everyone where we are? omg dont take it so seriously its only a game
Garrett Crowe Caldari Turbulent	Posted - 2007.05.12 16:13:00 - [25] Well dude what was approx loss in millions and we can guess who you are? =P --- Originally by: CCP Ginger. ...Or as I like to refer to myself. An imported sperm bank.
Psorion Absolute Wrath Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.12 16:44:00 - [26] Ouch.. LOL Hmm, I had some friends in Tama a while ago ;) Hi folks ... u gave me some nice lessons about 4 months ago.. Thanks for the memories :) Cloaked and AFK at a system near you...
Auri Hella The Graduates Ivy League	Posted - 2007.05.12 18:46:00 - [27] I ran into a camp in Amamake today that was smartbombing. Being in a shuttle and seeing the ships appear on the scanner didn't exactly make me happy. But... by spamming the jump button I actually managed to survive. I don't know how exactly. The timing of the smartbombs must have been just right for me. Poor shuttle had 21% armor left, so I think I took two hits. I'm so never taking that way to Rens again when the map shows "just" 9 kills in the last hour, heh.
ReePeR McAllem The Carebear Stare	Posted - 2007.05.12 19:07:00 - [28] Shhhh the 5% of players that actually read the forums might find out!

DE Well, this helped me, so I guess I did need the warning; but I'm still fairly new. Funny, I JUST finished carrying a bunch of researched BPOS through lowsec back to my base, because I thought it was "Safe." Bah, silly me, nothing in this game is safe, that's what makes it fun! :) Thanks for the warning, I will start working immediately to circumvent this.
Wayward Alt	Posted - 2007.05.12 20:19:00 - [30] lol. Even those of us that know about this tactic or have used this tactic still get lazy at times. I was flying a shuttle through low sec manually, jumping to zero and didn't bother scanning or checking the map. I figured no dictor bubbles or other bubbles so why worry. BANG **** I'M DEAD and out a couple cheap skillbooks. Isk lost was peanuts but the lesson learned was valuable. Keep up the good work.
