If you're inside a POS bubble and you know the enemy is trying to bump you out of it (and eventually will) - why do you stay inside the bubble and not just disperse or like...regroup somewhere else? Maybe even log off since you can't win the fight by getting more help or finding a strategy that works...

---

Because, chances are, the systems is camped like a park three miles outside of Suburbia.

If there's a Titan around to be USED to POS bowl, there IS no strategy that works. Titans are effectively an "I win" button if the person flying it isn't an incompetent monkey.

It is technically an exploit

---

If it was technically an exploit people would get banned for it. It has not been called an exploit by the GM's or Devs therefor it is a valid tactic no matter how lame :(.

---

Well let's get technical. I wont insult your intelligence with a quote from the EULA or T&C. You know what an exploit is defined as.

Warping a ship into a pos shield is not an intended mechanic just as "jet can" mining is not (was not) intended. But people do it.

The problem with pos bowling and the way eve appears to log things is .. well, it isn't. Logged, that is. Just as if I decide to click left and then right in space, that isn't logged. It's logged when I click "warp to" or "fire", but not when I maneuver around. There is no log that says "X bumped into Y" therefore CCP logs do not show someone bumping something inside a POS shield.

Since it's not logged it is so incredibly difficult to prove it happened without a GM being there, at the time of it happening.

You can FRAPs it, but as I said in my post, a movie CAN be edited and so therefore FRAPS are generally not admissable as evidence in a petition.

So no logs on the CCP side, no "evidence" that is admissable, therefore it "didn't happen" and since CCP can't / wont change the coding, nothing can be done about it. It is then relegated to "feature" and everyone rolls eyes except those with super caps that can get away with it.




The fix? Make pos shields into a warp field just like a mobile warp bubble. That way ships wont "enter" the pos shield. Voila.

---

It has been stated several times from the powers that be that it is not an exploit. there was some drama at first and we were asked to stop, then we heard of ET using it so a petition was sent in for clarification and it was green lighted. It may not be cool, it may suck but it isn't an exploit. simple as that

Didn't BoB pioneer POS bowling? CCP says it can't do anything about. Hmmm.

---

the first i had ever heard of its use was an iac mothership, and i think i also heard the establishments nyx had done it before although that was from the grapevine so can't clarify that, maybe they can

Interesting how the vast majority whining about BoB-dev corruption and BoB exploits are currently fighting a war against BoB. Makes you wonder, huh?

From what I was told from friends on the Test server POS shields now act like Warp disruption bubbles and pull you out of warp at the edge of the bubble. so if you keep to the center you should be safe.

I don't understand the point of having ships outside a ship array anyways. If you don't like the bumping, just store your ships properly you won't lose anything.

Ya know, the forums wouldn't be nearly so bad if players didn't base their entire ego on internet spaceships, and they didnt take it so personally they are loosing a war about those internet spaceships.
