Seriously, what is with a MWDing,Cloaking Raven that lets it get into warp before I am able to lock him?
chasing this speedy freak around the systems, run him into a nice roadblock on a gate. (aka gate camp)
he uncloaks, I try to lock, he recloaks, then 2.5 seconds maybe 3 seconds later he uncloaks and instawarps.
last i checked only stealth bombers and blackops could pull that off...
so. seriously. what is with this sneaky slippery Raven?

Fit more sensor boosters? lol
Align to the thing most in front of you coming out of cloak, punch the MWD, Cloak, de-cloak while still decelerating and bam... insta warp.

1-2 nanos in the low. Uncloak, hit MWD, immediately cloak. As soon as you reach warp speed, uncloak and warp out.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

Basically its another collosal fuk up by CCP that they wont acknowledge which enables you to travel thorugh low sec in any ship you want and be totaly invunerable.
I have tested this method in a battleship and had an interceptor with 5k scan res try to lock me and it is not possible.
CCP 'are aware' of this though are doing nothing viaible about it.
The fix is incredibly simple.. If your mwd is active you cannot cloak.. end of problem.

In fact, let's go a step further: If a carebear tries to MWD and cloak, their ship explodes and the surviving loot is transferred to your cargo bay automatically. 
God forbid people are able to get an 85-90% chance of escaping being ganked with a dedicated setup, eh?  ________________

Well, your wrong.
Its a 99.9% chance of escape. The 'dedicated setup' is 1x cloak and 1xmwd. Under 1 million isk.
I can just about stomach it if a blockade runner is doing it. But a whopping great raven being unlockable?
Ive tested it with a 5k scan res interceptor trying to lock my battleship. He couldnt lock me.
Surely even the most kacknoobish bear would admit that there is soemthing borked about a "dedicated setup" officer fit interceptor not being able to lock a 1 mill isk fit lumbering raven.
The solution again, for ccp, is to make cloaks not activate if a mwd has been activated. Simple. The bear still has the option to
a) cloak .. align.. unclock and warp (cutting his alginement time right out but still being locakable if there is a dedicated tackler) b) Use his mwd to burn back to the gate, or try to outdistance the tackler.
Thats known as balance.

Well... I don't think a T1 cloak and a MWD are going to save a Raven from even a casual gatecamp. Maybe from one person with a mediocre lock time chasing them, but a camp?
As far as BRs go, that's exactly what I was thinking of. 90% of people think they're useless now (even though they're not, since people who still use them say they can escape most of the time). They already took a usefulness hit now that there's infiniscramble, and removing their ability to pulse-cloak would hit them again.
It would be a hit against CovOps too, since the inability to cloak and MWD would mean 'ceptors with drones out going 9km/sec would find it much easier to decloak them.
(I'm going to embark on a career in piracy soon myself, but I just don't think MWD + cloak gives any ship that equips them the ability to escape 99.9% of the time... and if so, I'll have to try them out myself. ) ________________

Well as someone who has been thought of as 'pirate' for quite some time let me catagoricall state that it is so borked that it WILL work 99.9% of the time. If you do it correctly it WILL get you past camp with tacklers with 2000 plus scan res.
Hitting your mwd boosts your speed up to 500% higher then it can normaly be.
Hitting your cloak as soon as you align to the gate makes you unlockable.
The cloak turns you mwd off automatically. As the module deactivates, your speed drops but your still over 100% speed so unlcoaking and hitting warp warps you instantly.
It takes a couple of goes to get the hang of it.. but then you have a noob in the slowest battleship in the game having to spend 1 million isk to avoid a 10 man gate camp.
Its borked. CCP need to do something about it if they have any care about balance.
SKUNK
EDIT:
Quote: Also, at a good gate camp, you'll have a dedicated inifiscrambler, a dedicated tackler or three, possibly nanoships, sensor boosting ships, command ships, and God only knows what else, right? With the change you propose, the chance for ANY ship to escape these drops considerably. The only way to escape would be to have a warp align time faster than any physically possible lock time (AKA, Prorator with good modules and implants and skills).
If you jump a lone unscouted BS into a 15 man well prepared synergy camp like you discuss above, well then yes you should prety much die. The sheer balance of ships, isk, fittings, tactics, teamwork, skill points, and man hours would pretty much demand it.

But why can't you fly some 'ceptors over to try to decloak it? MWD gives a 500% speed boost, but a T1 cloak then nerfs that speed again by 90% (75% for the T2).
Though, I do realize that the fact of the MWD running is what allows peeps to instawarp as soon as they're aligned. I just don't see why you have a hard time decloaking some fool in a Raven that takes 20 seconds to align with MWD on and moves like 80 m/sec while cloaked. ________________

The whole process tkaes under 10 seconds from start to warp. A snake inty sat waiting will see the ship for half a seconds as it cloaks and rapidly head towards it starting to pick up speed.
However as soon as the ship cloaks (ie straight away) the game stops your ship approaching it, rapidly decreasing speed to nothing. So you then have to manualy click to pick up speed and try to aim roughly in front of the ship that you never really saw where he was in the first place.
Then if you flukely DO manage to uncloak the ship, well hes at warping speed already and the delay in being able to lock an uncloaking ship adds another second or so. Then your tackler has to lock. Then yours tacklers disruptors have to activate. The BS has long gone by then.

Thank you all.
I was just posting because I wanted to know how to do it too. No sense in just random barge gankers knowing how to travel with ease.
Seems be best counter for this would be some nano/speed setup: 1) target uncloaks to burst MWD before cloaking 2) nanobumper aligns to position and hits ramming speed 3) cross your fingers and hope to bump he hell out of the target before they can warp off. |

Even me, a super noob pirate, knows how to get this one taken care of. Since you are mister uber master pirate himself I will say this to you most humbly. Sir, if you drop a bubble when you see the gate activate, the ebil bear won't be able to warp after cloak. He can still then proceed to travel to the outset of the bubble but this will give you plenty of time to de-cloak him with your inty / dedicated tackler. Assign some drones to the tackler and you have an even better chance. Have the tackler drop a can near where he things the cloaked vessel is and have EVERYONE circle the can at different distances... even better! Can't drop a bubble because you are in low sec and not 0.0? Get a pair of balls and quit claiming to be a pirate. So I humbly hope this information has helped you in your cause of killing evil bears!

He means the "interceptors with drones out" part. 9km/s in a ceptor can be done with a pure t2 fit and crap rigs. The sheer fact that you didn't understand what he meant by that remark means that you should start learning game mechanics and untill then, stfu.

It's not finally a way, it has always been like this, just that now more and more have learned it. And yes, it is broken if with a 1m isk investment you can get past such a gang.

Seriously, this is a way for players using knowledge and skill to get themselves in to and through lo-sec, and have a fair chance at making a living... and this is a bad thing?
Gatecamps *should* fail more often than not. The missioner or miner should have a reasonable expectation of completing his mining run or mission without losing his ship. Getting pirated should be a risk, not a certainty.

Gatecamps *should* fail more often than not. The missioner or miner should have a reasonable expectation of completing his mining run or mission without losing his ship. Getting pirated should be a risk, not a certainty.
So the solo, unscouted, 1 month old pirate in the slowest BS in the game with 1 million isk fittings "should get past more often then not" ten 50 mill skillpoint pirates with a synergy gang and 3 billion isk of ships and fittings?
Is that truely what you are saying here?

Originally by: Le Skunk Basically its another collosal fuk up by CCP that they wont acknowledge which enables you to travel thorugh low sec in any ship you want and be totaly invunerable.
I have tested this method in a battleship and had an interceptor with 5k scan res try to lock me and it is not possible.
CCP 'are aware' of this though are doing nothing viaible about it.
The fix is incredibly simple.. If your mwd is active you cannot cloak.. end of problem.

If I repeat someone elses comment I opologise. I couldnt stomach to read the whole thing.
It is my experience that merely attempting to target someone will prevent them from cloaking. You dont actually have to be locked. So it wont really matter the number of sensor boosters.
Aslo someone mentioned above that you could hit "approach" in your inteceptor, but speed would reduce to zero once the ship cloaked..the counter for this is immediately after hitting the max speed button after hitting approach

I'm sorry, I simply don't see it as a bad thing that there's a counter to gate camps.
Your "we have more SP/ISK therefore we should always get kills" argument is, to be candid, pretty lame. Almost as disappointing as your cry for nerfing. If some guy and his 1M SP have found a way to counter your gang then well done and good luck to him. Instead of just stabbing up and then whining that HICs are overpowered, he's done something different, which requires a little practice and skill. Like that guy, whatsisname, who was robbing the big pirate gatecamp that popped him. Those pirates cried because someone was fighting back too, and they didn't get much respect either.
I can think of a couple of ways to make this tactic less reliably effective and I'm sure you can too. They're pretty obvious really, but on the other hand I sometimes travel lo-sec too.
But I repeat: it's a *good* thing that there's a moderately effective way to get through lo-sec camps. And if you calm down a little and think about it, I'm sure you'll think so to upon reflection. There's a reason most countries have catch-and-release laws...

An interceptor with 6k scan res CANNOT lock the ship using this trick. All you get is a repeated 'start of lock' sequence before lock breaks.
Thi hitting max speed button dose not work particulaly well as EVEs borked "water like" space physics, dip the nose of your interceptor down as if it is plughing through a wall of water. So when you have clicked max speed your heading off alignment.

1) Its not 'moderatly effecitve' its nigh on foolproof.
2) There is a good way to get safely thorugh lowsec.. scouts, a nano fit, an escort. Blindly slapping a 1 millin isk fitting on your combat ship and using a borked mechanic to escape is not a 'good way'.
3) This game is all about teamwork, skill points, fittings. CCP enocurage teamwork to achieve goals adn I do not feel it is unfair to suggest that it should not be overly difficult for 10 experienced pilots who have trained skills, bought ships, and setup SPECIFICALLY to catch you in your lumbering BS with its (1 million isk fittings) as you jump thorugh a gate should have incredible difficulty doing so

No, this thread is about you whining because people are using a valid means to escape your gate camp and you are either too stupid or too lazy to think up ways to get around it. You can't go F1, F2, F3, scoop loot, boo hoo. You call if a broken mechanic. I call it a sound mechanic that gives people a chance to make it through gate camps. There is no Eve on God Mode. Live with the mechanics of the game. Adjust to them so that they work in your favor. What would be the point of having all the mechanics set so that there was no escaping a gate camp? That's all Eve would be is one giant gate camp.

Honestly the thing about using a MWD and cloak, so what, kill the next ship that comes through. Doesn't need to be fixed, unless they first fix a 10000m/s machirel (sp) that I saw the other day.

You dont like absolutes it appears.. you dont like the though of it be 100% impossible to escape a gatecamp. Yet you are quite happy for it to be 100% possible to escape a gatecamp.
This shows a clear lack of clarity on your part. You should take a good look at your posts in this thread and attempt to learn from your mistakes for the next time you inadvisadly pipe up.

I try to be constructive when I think the person I am debating is capable of responding in kind.
I don't do a lot of lo-sec gate-camping, but I believe that you do. So: we'll posit that this tactic has a very high chance of success.
Well as it happens, I engage in a spot of 0.0 gate-camping now and then, dictor bubbles and all, and guess what? There're even fits that will allow some ships to evade that too. I know how frustrating it can be.
But *no* tactic should be without it's counter. There certainly are things you can do to stop people cloaking, but cloaks have been in the game a long time now, and this trick is hardly new. The only new thing about it is that someone's done it to you. (Have YOU ever used the cloak + MWD trick?). Why is this technique BAD, yet alt scouting is GOOD? Heck, at least you get some kind of chance with the cloak/MWD thing if they screw it upor jump right next to one of your ships & can't cloak.
I'll repeat again: if there's a way for people to travel relatively safely through lo-sec, so much the better. This is no more a bad thing for pirates than catch limits are for fisherman. You'll get fewer fish today, but many more fish this year. But you'll probably have to get off the gate to catch 'em.

If this was true, scamming would not be viable, since people would stop getting scammed as soon as the first reports hit the forums. In fact gate-camping would already not be viable since this Cloak/MWD technique has been known for as long as I've been playing EvE.

There was a way of killing a MOM in lowsec, but it was so insanely time intensive and relied on a large degree of luck (i think one ship was ever caught) that guess what ... CCP nerfed moms in low sec.
You can kill someone employing this mwd and cloak trick in low sec. It to is insanely time intensive and relys on a large degree of luck.
See a parallel here? CCP dont like a single ship being invunerable.

Its not 'some' ships that can abuse this mechanic.. its every ship. Its not a specific fit, its a 1 million isk 2 slot fit.
In 0.0 the odd cov ops or extreme nano ship can get out of a bubble. A cov ops or extreme nano ship can get past a low sec gate camp most of the time.. this is fine and balanced - nobody at all would moan about that.
IT is NOT balanced that the slowest ships in the game can spend next to no isk and with no skills travel with impunity where they want, with no regard to risk.. as there isnt any.
Its a simple parlor trick, using f1 and f2 keys. Its an abuse of an oversight (imho) by ccp. Its easily fixed in a number of ways.

1) ITs not relativly safer - its almost completly safe. 2) CCPs design of the game means that gates are pretty much the only way to catch someone in low sec. The belts are worthless in both minerals and rats. Believe me, if there was any other way to achieve a decent turnover I would do it.

This is not unclear thinking, it's just not agreeing with you. What you're saying is you want easy pickings when you gate camp. Adjust your tactics. It happened and you didn't kill a raven, so what. Sheesh. And if everyone did it well then there would be less gatecamp blobs and to me big deal and the spice would flow.
If it happens you might have to actually do something to get a kill other than hug a gate or station.
dialing the waaambulance for you. remain calm.

wow a thread of mine turned in to Trollhaven /waves to Le Skunk and Friends /attempts to put thread back on track
------------------------------------------------
I have crunched some numbers.
An interceptor with a 6km/s top speed can cover 30k in just over 7.7 seconds from a dead stop. in that time the BS probably hasnt even moved 100 m from his last know position
A speedy battleship (raven) even using the MWD/cloak trick will need still in the neighborhood of 15.6 seconds to get to speed.
sooooo low sec camps need a dedicated interceptor bumper to decloak and hopfully unalign the sneaky Battleship, leaving about 8 seconds to get a point on him if the unalign part fails but the decloaking works.
Problem: interceptors are bad tacklers if they need to tank sentry fire

Seems like there are two sides of the story.
One is that you, as a pirate, almost see a Raven as a kill no matter the circumstances.
The other that a ship, with low skillpoints and a cheap fitting, is able to get away from a large and well-planned (if those can be said to exist) gatecamps.
I do understand the frustration of the gatecampers, they sit for hours on end, waiting for some decent targets to get through and then a lonely Raven arrives and is able to avoid the camp. Now the question is, is it just the Raven that got away that hurts or is it the fact that the amount of targets aren't numerous in the first place?
For one thing, a gatecamp shouldn't be inpenetrable, that would just hamper travel too much and reduce the chances people take when travelling alone, on the other hand, the pirates need more targets. How do we solve this? Noone wants to be killed by pirates, not human players at least.
Regarding the ability to fit a cheap, low skillrequirement ship, to be able to avoid the camps/pirates, I see no problem in that, it's the beauty of EVE, being new and maybe able to run from fights rather than die only because you haven't the skill or money.
So all-in-all a Raven got away, no big deal. You'll catch the next comming through.... oh wait? No you won't, cause you just told everyone how to avoid gatecamps

LeSkunk,
You assume that everyone that passes your gate camp will be fitted that way. When infact most of the noobs your vicious hunting parties will catch will not have such a setup. Please tell all as to why this is so important given only one ship passed by your camp and got away.
Now I do see your side of things as it is a "possible" game mechanics issue... Your recourse in this situation instead of forum crying is to open a petition, not to tell everyone else that they are wrong and you in turn have the only opinion that counts! As it is now you arent looking too favorable to those of us outside the conversation.

lol you suck at pirating this badly that you come to the forums to advertise this evasion tactic you're really clueless aren't you!!
You can decloak a BS before it aligns with a mwd burst from a commandship, how you can complain that you're "dedicated" 10man camp has a 0% success rate in catching someone employing this technique is laughable.
Have 1x ship dedicated to decloaking if need be, you could actually pay attention to you're scout, be ready for the gate activation and mwd into the direction of the recently cloaked ship.
Or instead of camping the gate at 0m, try manually spacing out 14km from the gate, more often than not one of your 10 man blob will probably be under 5km from the cloaker, if you can't react and decloak them in 10 seconds you really don't deserve a kill.
Quit the pathetic whining -

You can decloak a BS before it aligns with a mwd burst from a commandship, how you can complain that you're "dedicated" 10man camp has a 0% success rate in catching someone employing this technique is laughable.
Have 1x ship dedicated to decloaking if need be, you could actually pay attention to you're scout, be ready for the gate activation and mwd into the direction of the recently cloaked ship.
Or instead of camping the gate at 0m, try manually spacing out 14km from the gate, more often than not one of your 10 man blob will probably be under 5km from the cloaker, if you can't react and decloak them in 10 seconds you really don't deserve a kill.
Quit the pathetic whining
I think we have all missed the major point of this thread. I have finaly figured it out so I've decided to enlighten everyone. Skunk doesn't want advice on how to stop this. He only wants people to agree with him so he can have an I Win button installed on his gate camp. So from not on anyone who doesn't agree with Skunk, don't bother posting. He will just disagree with you, say you are wrong, make up things to say you are wrong and generaly troll for sympathy that he can't be bothered to learn propper gate camping techniques.

I'm with Skunk, if you have a modual active, you shouldn't be able to cloak. End of discussion.
The rest of you tosspots appear to be mentally challenged who's family gene pool came from the bottom of the rejected barrel. Learn to read, comprehend, and awknowledge rather than scan, dismiss, and castigate. Since I have to be constructive: Go to school.

This is only recently been an issue which has been so widely used so I can safely say you fail. Put your epeen back in your pants and stop waving it about like it was your national flag.
I've never had this problem 6 months ago either, and only recently with the past few weeks has this actually started to become an issue. Unless you've got lady luck in bed with you every night blowing on your dice, you've got roughly 4 seconds before a mwd+cloak BS warps off your gate in low sec, making them invincible until they get to 0.0 where a bubble can be used in which they pop quite quick.
Denying the fact that this is an issue is being naive.
The next portion is not directly aimed at you, but just as in the other thread, aimed at everyone.
Unless your uber with your dictor bubbles in low sec, 500 man proper gate camp surrounding the gate at 12km with 500m between each ship so you have the entire gate enveloped with ships, your not catching a cloak + mwd BS (unless the BS disconnects from eve because the ammount of people surrounding a single gate).
I can't tell you how many times 6-7k+ scan res ships are unable to lock targets as they warp away. It's borked either way you look at it.

The reason for my laugh - well now there are loads more people who know about this fit - thanks for the info dude
Now, rather that moan about it and cry balance, why not simply congratulate the pilot who evaded you on a nice fit and good piloting and move onto your next gank. I would. ------ This is a signature, no?

Back in your hole before you give the rest of us pirates a bad name !
D.A
I use a hyperion.. shows how long its been since I popped you.
And dont tell me its easy mode, it:
provides some of the most adrenalin buzz Ive had in this game
enables small corps to strike back at capital ship happy alliances - podding their pilots whilst at their weakest
gains great loot
squash the overconfident inty pilot (always good for a luagh)
The use of the smartbombing BS is entirley in line with EVEs policy of no ship being invunerable anywhere out of dock. Indeed your bringin it up , only higlights the unbalance of the mwdcloak battleship exploit in that if an interceptor can be killed, why not a BS.
The killing of small frigates who warp to zero though low sec in smug satisfaction that they will not be able to be caught is particulaly satisfying and incredibly profitable.
They are so sure they will not be caught, they carry high value items with them.
As for easy mode smartbomber: There have only ever been three close attempts to kill my smartbomber - in reverse order of nearness to success.
Once when a mothership was dropped on me (i smartbombed his cyno catalyst and flew away)
Once when for ****s and giggles I sat on the gate waiting for a 50 man fleet to warp to the gate so I could pop their interceptor scouts and try to fly off (large adrenalin buzz there) under the noses of their battleships (killed on inty and legged it.. didnt have time for the loot)
Once when I was probed out in my safe spot and an arazu put points on me whilst his mates jumped in. Luckily, i had a friend in another smartbomber at a different safespot who warped in at range and chased him off.
The smartbomber FINALLY died, when I was solo cloaked at an hostile pos, and waited for a hauler to leave the shields to loot a carrier wreck. At this point I warped in, popped the hauler, and narowly avoided escaping before the enemy lachesis held me down long enough for the pos guns to pop me.
Your reference to stabs means little in the world of the heavy interedictor btw.
So dont tell me its easy mode, it provides some of the most adrenalin buzz Ive had in this game, whilst enabling me to strike back at capital ship happy alliances, pick up great loot, and squash the overconfident inty pilot

Don't be afraid of admitting that you know this whole ****bang with the mwd+cloak is borked. Are you a SERIOUS player? I didn't think SERIOUS players wrote junk like this. I thought they were more refined, intellectual, and more appealing overall, and smack everytime they loose a ship to me, like those SMASH guys. Now they, are very SERIOUS players.

Then you are honestly one of the worst pirates ever. Especially sense you cant catch that raven lol.

If I repeat someone elses comment I opologise. I couldnt stomach to read the whole thing.
It is my experience that merely attempting to target someone will prevent them from cloaking. You dont actually have to be locked. So it wont really matter the number of sensor boosters.
Aslo someone mentioned above that you could hit "approach" in your inteceptor, but speed would reduce to zero once the ship cloaked..the counter for this is immediately after hitting the max speed button after hitting approach
An interceptor with 6k scan res CANNOT lock the ship using this trick. All you get is a repeated 'start of lock' sequence before lock breaks.
Thi hitting max speed button dose not work particulaly well as EVEs borked "water like" space physics, dip the nose of your interceptor down as if it is plughing through a wall of water. So when you have clicked max speed your heading off alignment.

What I specifically said was...you dont have to be locked onto the target in order for the cloak to fail....you merely have to be attempting to target. Once the little orange brackets start flashing indicating that someone is starting the target process, your cloak will no longer function

Wow so your not only a troll.. your a pompus troll as well. You remind me of an outraged z list celeb after being refused entrance to the vip area of a tacky nightclub.. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM"
Your contribution to this thread has been.... absolutly nothing.
So you think flying in 0.0 with no sentry guns and a interdictor bubble is big wowzerness do you? No worrys about multiple dedicated tacklers support ships, remote sensor boosting, sentry gun fire, station aggro, concord on the other side of the gate.
You may fly in 5 man gangs, but the very nature of 0.0 means you dont need the numbers you do in low sec as it is so easy to operate out there. Also, your 5 man gangs seem to be ganking a n awfull lot of solo ship out there in 0.0 ... seems you are not looking very hard for them fights where you are "heavily outnumbered"
Also seriously stop using orange text it makes you look pretentious.

No it dosent work. As i have said, we have tested this with an interceptor with 6k scan res and you cannot lock the ship to stop it cloaking.
Thanks for the positive ideas though.

Edited by: Fourty Niner on 08/02/2008 03:30:22 1) This is (apparently) an easy way to "nearly" always avoid a low-sec gate camp
2) Which if you are NOT a pirate, is better than the "Impossible" to escape gate camp situation
3) There are loads of threads saying "Make low sec more profitable" or "Make Empire space less profitable" so that more ppl will come to low sec
4) Now that I know that its possible to avoid a gate camp, Im going to visit Low sec more often (And not just in my Firetail), as I assume others will
5) The "instawarp" from station, doesnt stop station camps, (and to be honest we have spent weeks trying to get our noob members to instawarp, and they still mess it up more often than not), or mean no kills
6) I bet it doesnt even really work, and its a cunning plan by you pirates to get ppl to come to low sec
7) Yes I am posting with an Alt, cos frankly, I can do without getting a WAR dec just because someone takes offence at a forum post |

I can see pirates getting annoyed by an unbeatable cheese tactic, but there needs to be a travel fit that people can apply to their ships that has a reasonable chance of running most camps. Every time lowsec piracy gets a boost more and more people give up on lowsec and move back to highsec or out to 0.0 - in the end lowsec as a whole looses.
So, while I agree that instawarping battleships is lame and should be fixed (though not in a way that nerfs blockade runners, but that's an entirely different story), the fact that this is happening at all is a symptom of a larger problem - that lowsec is broken. ----- My in Eve Profile My BattleClinic Page |

Check your KB, you never did pop me, I evaded you the times I scanned you at the gate. I still cant see how you can attribute skill to the way you operate.
Skill is attributed to people who find solutions to problems. Such as catching cloaky mwding ravens.
With regards the issue, yes it does seem like an exploit. Whining about it will not get it fixed. Addressing it properly via a bug report/petition or whatever will bring it to ccp's attention.
In the meantime, I suggest you dont sit your bs/cmd ships at 0 on the gate. Get them all randomly at 14km away from a gate and then you might have more luck decloaking one before it has a chance to warp off. Yes, sadly this tactic will encourage you to grow some balls too.
It is a lame tactic for carebears. Just as a smartbombing stabbed bs is a lame tactic for pirates. But in both lights, both parties obviously get off on their relevant 'intepretations' of the game mechanics.
I have little respect for whiners, deal with it

Skill is attributed to people who find solutions to problems.
PROBLEM: The problem I had was interceptors and shuttles being invunerable using warp to zero in low sec.
SOLUTION: The solution using a smartbomber to kill them on warp to zero.
That seems to satisfy your criteia.

Well in a perfect world yes. CCP do take notice of the forums, as they are proud to admit, and recent 'issues' like the Imune alliance, which was pre-petitioned by the alliance founders and ruled ok.. but subsequently ruled an exploit beacuse of a froum thread.. suggest otherwise.

If you had ever even attempted to come kill me in my smartbombing BS (which btw was incredibly easy to do.. I became so reckless I would pop badgers under the noses of POS guns with it) you might have a leg to stand on. As you didnt... well.

Originally by: DHB WildCat To Tal Noc and Skunk, 1. Have you ever heard of Burn Eden? 2. If so you know our largest gang is about 5. We rutinely engage heavily outnumbered against people flying ships that fight back. 3. Also if you think having a hyperion, mega, abbadon, and geddon on a gate at 0, all remote repping each other while trying to gank a single raven; is eve on hard mode..... Then you are honestly one of the worst pirates ever. Especially sense you cant catch that raven lol.
Anyhow I will bow out here, but of you are so concerned about 0.0 then I suggest you run missions, because low sec seems a little hard for you lol.
WildCat
Yes I have, and we had great fun shooting your cloaking gangs up in the North last year (obviously, I'm an alt if no one has picked this up yet) however, this subject was not about you, or Burn Eden, or how your the only feeble minded person from your corp who makes lousy posts on the forum in orange. I simply was bored at work and decided to make fun of you, and it worked as I got a response :) I hope you feel bigger now that you have strutted your 5 man gang stuff.
I don't care about hard mode, I don't care for 0.0, and I especially don't care what you think as the point of this topic still remains, mwd+cloak is a broken game mechanic that we are defending as broken. I'd like to see a video of you catching a perfected mwd+cloak ship cruiser or higher in low sec.

Skill is attributed to people who find solutions to problems. Such as catching cloaky mwding ravens.
With regards the issue, yes it does seem like an exploit. Whining about it will not get it fixed. Addressing it properly via a bug report/petition or whatever will bring it to ccp's attention.
In the meantime, I suggest you dont sit your bs/cmd ships at 0 on the gate. Get them all randomly at 14km away from a gate and then you might have more luck decloaking one before it has a chance to warp off. Yes, sadly this tactic will encourage you to grow some balls too.
It is a lame tactic for carebears. Just as a smartbombing stabbed bs is a lame tactic for pirates. But in both lights, both parties obviously get off on their relevant 'intepretations' of the game mechanics.
I have little respect for whiners, deal with it

If they sit on the gate then they won't be able to jump out if anything engages that that may be able to put up a fight. =p

On the rare occasionas people bring similar amounts of ships that can "fight back" we always engage. Its one of the main reasons for playing this game, for those rare moemnts.
But this is going off topic. Topic is abuse of game mechanics using the cloak break/mwd trick

You obviously havn't read any of the posts. If you took the time to put effort into writing somthing you should at least take the time to read the posts before commenting on somthing that has already been disproven to actually work.
Again, I ask to any of you to provide a video, otherwise stfu. Not sure how I can make it more simple than that.

I use this technique whenever I need to get past a gate camp. I like the tactic since it gives me a chance to not get insta-popped by large groups. On rare ocassion there are groups of pirates that are skilled enough to catch me before I can get to warp. As rare as this is, it does happen. To be fair though I decided to petition a GM in game to find out what the ruling would be. According to GM Pontifex the mechanic is not considered an exploit and can be used without a problem. So untill that is changed I think any more complaining is beating the proverbial dead horse. I would quote the eve-mail but I believe that is against forum rules. So go ahead and petition in game but untill they change that ruling you may as well let it be. At this point it's just whining.

Sorry guys, i have to agree with Le Skunk on this one.
Those who doesn't see the whole thing in this seriously need to play EVE.
All i see here is the bears that finally have found a way to evade gate camps, and are using the bugged game mechanic to get away, and then all will say yey, this is how it should be.
Stupid noobs who don't know crap about EVE.

So this thread boils down to: - ganking should be unbeatable, except possibly by counter-gank of greater gankitude - 50m skillpoints should be unbeatable - two billion in fittings should be unbeatable
And if you disagree with any of these points you are: - a noob - a troll - an alt - a ****ie head

No.
Its purely a thread about a borked gate mechanic, and the insta warping of what is supposed to be the slowest ship in the game.
Its about a borked game mechanic.. that the speed needed to initatie warp does not alter as you hit the mwd and use the breaking effect of the cloak.
Its about how you cant activate modules whilst you are cloaked, but due to an oversight, it allows you to benefit from the after effects of activating those modules.
bloackade runners regualaly normally escaping a camp specifically set up to catch them is fair and balanced. Thats their role after all
Lone, unscouted, combat fit battleships escaping these camps due to a borked game mechanic is not balanced.

I was trying to bring the thread back onto topic.
If you asking me if i think numbers should count.. then yes
If your asking me if i think skillpoints should count... then yes
If your asking me if i think teamwork should count... then yes
If your asking me if i think amount of isk you spend on your ships should count... then yes
If you asking me if one of the slowest ships in the game should be able to spen 1 million isk to negate all the above... then no
Hope that clears it up for you

It would be nice if people left the whole carebear/pirate role out of things, as it really seems to cloud judgment.
I don't think the OP or Le Skunk has whined in the thread. I read the "solutions" to the problem posted here and I don't think they are as viable. Keep in mind, this problem also negates the role of a tackler. If a faction fit/boosted Inty isn't able to lock a BS, that does seem kind of odd.
I mean if you can master that technique then you're set in high sec or low sec. It sounds out of balance, but then again, I've never run into it, nor would I ever practice it.
I am sure this will be like the nano-BS phase where everyone was doing it and CCCP will make a change to limit it to maybe working only some of the time.
Just because you hate pirates or carebears doesn't mean this might not be an issue that needs looking into.
I do find it odd though that most of the smack talkers seem to be alts on the side against the pirate guys. Go figure.

Ok to make it clear.
Just imagine i just jumped into a 10 man gang now, then i'm still cloaked. Then i find out oh wow, we have this little nice trick that make your bs warp in 1 sec.
If you still don't get me why it's wrong, then just watch THIS clip i frapsed on sisi.
Now there isn't any targets there, but just imagine there is, then your going to do this MWD and cloak trick.
Then just watch what's happening.
What you are seeing in the movieclip i made, IS THAT RIGHT?
Now this topic is for 4 pages, and alot of the players knows about this, and MANY of them will abuse this thing.

Yes, we did actually, successfully putting a couple of points on you. But you still warped (!)
The second time, we came in even numbered battleships vs your corp but you remained in dock range, then proceeded to dock up as we landed although the numbers were 5v5.

edit: After reading Nexia's post, I am just confirming I am no alt and I am a low sec pirate. I just completely disagree with Le Skunk on some of the issues he has raised.
I agree the issue does need to be addressed by ccp. But until then, rather than whine about it. Try to deal with it, come up with new tactics that doesn't involve sitting at 0 on a gate. - One mechanic that I believe is truly broken is the aggression timers (derail !?!), they should definately be extended by at least double.

Most definatly so, but agression timers are not an abuse of game mechanics like the cloakmwd trick is. CCP made a conscious decision to set the agressio ntimer at a set amount of seconds. In no way did CCP put cloaks in the game to enable insta warping for Bs.

LOL , seriously though. Was talking with a Bug Hunter earlier, and after what he did know this trick is by design, BUT, that doesn't mean it can't be changed.
So yeah, this trick is a simple cheat to get away from gate camps. When you jump in with your Maelstrom for example, and you land up on a 15 man gate camp of cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships, your not supposed to survive that in most cases.

Spaming cans all over the jump in point is clased as an exploit and is petitionable and so will not work.

Seriously Le skunk you have sentry's that can be tanked and now you have infini scram heavy dictors does gate camping really need boosting? except for really fast warping ships the cloak+MWD trick is the only viable tactic that stands a chance of getting anybody out of a gate camp.
A gate camp shouldn't just mean instant death, you might as well just install a "kill ship" button and be done with it.
And in the long run if this was nerfed it would do piracy far more harm than good, ok granted you might get a few extra kills because you can catch the switched on players who use that tactic but it will just drive those people away from low sec to and to boot you get caught in other pirates camps more often to because you yourself have no way out either.

Please take a deep breath and think before you post.
Just to clarify:
Spamming cans around gate This is classed as an exploit by the GMS and therefor cannot be used
Fire Smartbombs to unclock the ship Smartbmobs do not unloak ship so this will not work
Fast lock to prevent cloaking We have tested this with a 6k scan res faction fit interceptor and you are unable to lock the ship before it cloaks, or indeed lock it as it unclocks and insta warps.
Use An interdictor stoopid We are talking about low sec here, bubbles cannot be launched , or anchored in low sec
Use a fast moving inty to uncloak the ship Now this one is theretically sound, but in practice is incredibly difficult to pull off. The combination of a delay in the ship approaching, the instant deceleration of your ship when you target cloaks as it cancels the approach, and the dipping of your ships noese due to the water like physics of eve space.
If you do, manage by fluke to uncloak the enemy ship. It dosent even help, as the ship will by now be up to insta warp speed anyway and can insta warp. You only save him having to deactivate his cloak himself. Your tacklers will have a small delay as the ship uncloaks where it will be 'invunerable'.
orbit the gate with 100 alts in shuttles Whilst I realise the guy who suggested this was tongue in cheek.. Its pretty much the only way that would work reliably. What a farce.. and no doubt an exploit.
So CCP - Again I ask.. When you implemented the cloak into the game, was it designed to be used as a breaking device conjunction with the mwd to ramp up the warp threshold to allow the slowest ships in the game to avoid 15 man gate camps, with tackler with 6k scan res - or is this an unintened and borked mechanic.

An interesting idea - this would work fine, and is an example of anohter easy way ccp could fix this unintended usage of their cloak modules.

Originally by: marie blueprint Edited by: marie blueprint on 10/02/2008 04:47:01 sorry skunk there should be a way to escape gatekamps.
The simple way to escape a gate camp of like 8-10 guys is simply to fight those who are scrambling you.
Like me, if i jump into a gate camp of 10 peoples in my Tempest, then i will align and activate my MWD and then just hope that i can get up to the speed that i actually can outrun them so i don't get webbed. And then shoot the nearest target while i'm doing it. And then warp out if i get out of scram range.
It's simple, when you are entering low sec, you take the risk of getting gang banged / blobbed at the gate to.
It's the carebears who need to adapt that you are most likely going to be killed if you jump into a 10 man gang in low sec WITHOUT a scout.
And yeah, marie blueprint you should just get out of this topic, because you can things about blueprints, and not PVP. Pluss your an alt.

Edited by: Nebuchadnezzar I on 10/02/2008 05:14:35 Edited by: Nebuchadnezzar I on 10/02/2008 05:13:35 First of all the suggestion as to not enabling MWD and cloak would indeed **** over people trying to survive 0.0 gate camps, where, as has also been mentioned, bubbles effectively stop this trick.
A raven or say a hauler pulling an insta warp this way is a bit silly still tho in lowsec. Surely there must be a less drastic "tweak" to solve it without ruining it as a weapon against 0.0 gatecamps.
Something like resetting the speed to "highest cloaked speed value" when decloaking? Ie for a bomber, or BO it would mean a speed equal to or higher than uncloaked speed (which, i think, would still let them insta warp as intended) whereas with a raven it'd bring it to 10% of regular speed= it cant insta warp.
Something along those lines anyway, far too drastic to remove cloak + mwd imo compared to balance between gatecamps and giving solo players a chance to escape at least.

Well that's another tactic than the OP is talking about. But yeah, if you just jumps in like 50 guys after 1 guy, then i think it's a big chance that he will get uncloaked by the ships.
You say you are almost 1 year old, ok that tells me something at least, so thanks for saying that .

Anything that makes low sec gate camping less effective is good for low sec, and consequently good for pirates. So gate camps are less effective, but perhaps more people will go to low sec, more targets, just not at gates.
How can that be bad?

Originally by: Twilight Mourning Even me, a super noob pirate, knows how to get this one taken care of. Since you are mister uber master pirate himself I will say this to you most humbly. Sir, if you drop a bubble when you see the gate activate, the ebil bear won't be able to warp after cloak. He can still then proceed to travel to the outset of the bubble but this will give you plenty of time to de-cloak him with your inty / dedicated tackler. Assign some drones to the tackler and you have an even better chance. Have the tackler drop a can near where he things the cloaked vessel is and have EVERYONE circle the can at different distances... even better! Can't drop a bubble because you are in low sec and not 0.0? Get a pair of balls and quit claiming to be a pirate. So I humbly hope this information has helped you in your cause of killing evil bears!

How many times have piracy been nerfed?, and how many times have carebears been crying on the forum and wanted a change? and what have happened?. Yes, CCP have listened to all of the crying carebears.
This time the carebears need to adapt. Simply because the Cloak wasn't putted into the game to be used as a cheat to get away from gate camps THAT easy.

Piracy has also receeived many boosts including WCS nerf and heavy dictors, The cloak+MWD tactic is the only real viable tactic to escape camps on the fly now. Reagarding your comment about how people shouldnt be able to evade "that easy" that cuts both ways there is no written right you should be able to gate camp and kill people that easy either.
I agree carebears whine a lot, "whaagggh whaaggh I got ganked in a gatecamp" but you have to see your doing the exact same thing "whaaggh whaaggh they didn't get ganked in the gate camp" and that puts you on the same level as the carebear and do you really want to be what you obviously dislike so much?.
So your choices are simple you can keep acting like a piebear and sniveling on the forums because somebody got away or you can either try to adapt new methods or just suck it because you cant catch them all.

Well - if you were not so scared that you were posting with an alt, I would offer to come run your gatecamp with my exploiting mwd alt and see hoe effective your tatctic is.
you keep refering to 'we', but seeing as you are to lame to post with a main (for some bizare reason.. posting with an alt normaly indicates fear of repercussion which i wouldnt expect from a big gang of uber pirates like you seem to be making out you are) I cannot quantify how good you are.
You tactic of jumping in a ship after him and praying to god that of all the places around the gate you end up , you are right next to him, relies on fluke, and should not be a fix for this issue.
Sure i could have 500 alts in shuttles sat on the gate ready to jump through, spamming all possible uncloak points on the other side, but thats another mark up for the metagming farce that eve is turning into

Where exaclt do you think these targets will be?
Admiring the beautiful flare effect at the sun. Orbiting planet IX for the hell of it. Racing each other to giant secure can 112233 Mining worthless roids Shooting worthless rats
Having more people in low sec will mean more people docked. And more people at the gates heading to stations. Thats pretty much it.
"More people in low sec" is a mantra people chant repeatedly like a religious cult.
This is understandable if you raise the rewards to match the risk.
But most defianlty not if you lower the risk to match the crappy rewards
This will make low sec even more pointless to be in.

Dont get me wrong, MWDind-cloaking should in some way help you escape, the effect I would aim for, is that exibited when ships first exit stations, where they are invunrable to lock, but still apprachable.
This would mean that the fast interceptors would have some chance of getting close enough to breack the cloak, but that it couldnt lock until then
Yes I am posting with an Alt, cos frankly, I can do without getting a WAR dec just because someone takes offence at a forum post |

I'm pretty impressed this thread is still alive, on the other hand I may just as well keep it alive.
As told numerous of times in the thread, we, the pirates, have our own, "stop'em"-ship, a heavy interdictor, a ship that was invented as a compromise to the capitals sitting on gates and being untouchable.
A heavy interdictor is kind of a compromise between what piratehunters/carebears/pirates wanted, someway of nailing the capitals in low-sec.
Now, is the heavy interdictor too strong a ship for low-sec? Well, if you get caught by one.... you won't leave it again, except in a pod or the sudden station-spawning that occurs right after you walk towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
The only way of getting past one of these, or our multiple friends waiting nearby, is the cloak-warp-trick, which I concur is a cheap shot. The other way is throwing a expendable alt through the gate to see what's on the other side. One way or another, we in the gatecamp won't get the "juicy" Raven.
If people know how to do the mwd-cloaky-thing, they also know of the alt-trick.
So, if the trick is removed, what can we give in return? A heavy interdictor that isn't as good against less than capital-sized ships?
Just a thought, cause the "trick" is faulty, but it's the only way they get pass us without filling our camps with noob-ships. Lets take some but also give some....

The heavy interdictor, whilst nice, is overkill.
People were clamering for something to bypass the MOMS immunity in lowsec.. but instead of just this, CCP tack on something with an infinite point scram ( which nobody ever asked for once and make warp core stabs pretty much useless) and the ability to deploy a buble in 0.0 (again nobody ever asked for this as there is a ship that can do it perfectly well already.). Its like asking for a burger and being given a steak dinner, which whilst all very filling, was not what was ordered and does not justify the waiter spitting in your entre.
To then use this overkill ship to justify people using a borked game mechanic is not sound.
Im still using a lachesis whilst locks faster then any interdictor, with 6 points and a insta web (albeit its a little more fragile). It does the job fine, and always did - whilst leaving ther being a point to warp core stabs.

i really don't understand why people whine so much about this trick. ya its annoying when blockade runners do it, but we've pretty much given up on catching them unless we have like four smartbombers on the gate. and if its a battleship getting by? ya we all swear alot on vent but crying on the forums about it?
get an inty up to 5k scan res, run him on the comp with the best network connection of the lot, and theres a chance you will catch this guy if he is even the tiniest little bit off on his timing.
if you caught that, i just said "you will catch him if he screws up", which is really all we ever hope for anyways right? what carebear brings a CNR to lowsec if not by mistake/stupidity? or a freighter? or a shuttle full of t2 bpos? or a covops with 5b loot who didnt warp to the gate cloaked and was thus smartbombed?
seriously folks, sometimes you miss ships. i missed killing a blackops on the gate on the first day they came out, because most of us on the gate didnt realize they wouldnt show up on overview. you win some you lose some. so quit ******* crying already

Thats the problem. CCP dont like invunerable ships in this game, and the mwd cloak ship is invunerable barring a fluke uncloak or big fat finger syndrome from the guy doding it.
The very fact that such estemed pirates as yourself have "given up " on ever catching people abusing this mechanic shows how truely out of place in this game it is. Everything is supposed to have a counter in this game, and this one dosent have one.
Respect to you for not acting all gung ho and uber and actualy admitting you cannot catch ships using this exploit.
Your attitude that "well not everyone is abusing this so its ok" stinks though. Its shortsighted, in that you can laugh off one BS doding it a week, then one does it a day, then 10 do it a day, then every other ship does it.... Then you wont be so blaze.

Oh well, i can't think of any other reason this thread was made, but oh nooooes our gank camp couldn't uncloak a big bad raven and it warps off. That's why the T1 cloak is given the penalty of reducing speed. But i guess it only takes a whining post, bookmark it and keep posting in it to let it whine more like some of our posters i saw in this thread do who are on every page like they don't got any one to gank now lol and made their mission to whine more :P This is all a big joke right??? to stroke your E-Peen cuz someone escaped your all mighty gate camp. Seroiusly get a life...

We have been civil and eloquent with our discussion of the issue and the returned proposals; it would be refreshing if you could do us all the small favor of not posting next time.
The arguments have been made and the same solutions keep popping up, even five pages in people are still saying anchor a bubble or launch interdiction spheres. We are talking about low security space, and an exploit that allows anyone to bypass a camp.
I also agree with skunk, including the excerpt about heavy interdictors. I love them to bits, but they are very much overkill.

Heavy Intedictors are fun as hell, but yeah, they are slightly overkill....then again, if they get neref...I'll just switch nack to my lach with 10points, so it makes no difference really.

The cloak to insta-warp trick is pretty BS imho. It's been around forever, but now tons of people use it. It is a border line exploit imho.
