I did a search on this topic but didn't find anything on it. I apologize if it's a repost.
Happened to me last night. a hostile in local, engaged outside the station. Then suddenly the local jumped to about 12, everyone of them was right next to me. I lagged and next thing I go boom.
I asked around and there was no sighting of those 11 ships from nearby system. I might be wrong though. But it seems that they all logged of by the station and as soon as someone aggro they log back on.
If this is not an exploit, good job, I got no complaints about it. But I was wondering if this is generally ok to do, very commonplace, or do people petition on it?
cheers

Recently BOB lost a Mothership to this exact tactic.
Further back in EVE history(less stable servers ftl) RA famously scored a significant victory by logging in a whole gang of capital ships on top of the LV cap fleet who were seiging one of their towers in c-j(IIRC)
This caused many LV dreads to crash or otherwise lag out and they were subsequently probed out and destroyed and the ones still in seige mode just sat there and died.
This was a serious turning point in the war and LV never managed to bring such a large number of caps to bear on RA again until many months later, by which time it was too late.
wow, that really sucks.
I play this game for the pleasure of it. But when people pull lame ****s like that, it just defeats the purpose of this game. shame.

well, if u make ships stay immobile (warp drive disabled but can use mwd, etc) at the random point they warped out to, when they log back on, for 2 minutes or so, like how they are when they logged off (you stay in random space for couple min as logoffsky)- when people do not log off at a friendly bubble, then problem's solved.
I know there would be people complaining about how they are disconnected by server. But really, this kind of accidents happen less often than deliberate log-on tricksters. This **** is done on a regular basis nowadays in 0.0

Just got a response from GM for the petition. He says log on or off is not an exploit even when done to give someone a tactical advantage.
So I guess I will see this trick pulled a lot in the future.

I honestly don't see why this should be an exploit. If you see local instantly jump 12 players, you should know that either a gang just warped in or this log on trick has happened. Either way, you should be thinkin about either docking or getting in a gang. Even if they log on on top of you, they still have to warp from their log off spot back to you. So you still had time.
I see no reason why this would be an exploit. It's not too different than a group of BS snipers getting in system and cloaking 120km or whatever from station, decloaking, and pwning everything.
it takes over 30sec before u r allowed to dock after aggro. and if you are bumped when they are on their way in, which is what happens when 12 people log in next to you, you can forget it.

Wow, its late...I didn't really see what happened entirely...soooo
You engage a target outside station. His buddies log on all at once. Yup, not an exploit. People go into HQ systems all the time with mid sized fleets and log off. That way, they put everyone in the system on edge for a while. Don't really know when they'll be back. It's your job to keep track of when that happens and watch out for it.
Sure, they may have gotten you, but I would hope that you guys managed to gank quite a few of them seeing as how they were outside a station. Before you label it an exploit...you really do have to make an argument as to why it is one.
argument was made, by others who posted here too. It's not a coincidence that everyone here except you thinks its very very lame.
where do you live? Empire? have this pulled on you a couple times and see if you'd say the same again.
