Zombie Inc has at least made a name. There was a recent discussion about Atlar, that went a bit off limits. I was sent to that system by an agent. I saw the numbers of destroyed ships, but thought "hell, I'm driving a bs with mwds. It's surely only miner hold-ups and afk-indy ganking". I arrived at the gate and took a snoop around. Ok. Triple outlaws on my scanner. No probs really. One click on my mwd and I should be in warp allready. But then I looked at the info. "Zombies?! Ohhh noos. They surely tank some sentries or have found another way to web me."
I saw one 70km away from me and two 10km away from me. Assuming the sentries was back at 150km range, those 10km away from was prolly not placed there to scoop loot from the long ranger. I ended up warping to the mission bookmark (no problem really, one click on the mwd, and your're gone). Do the mission. Watching local and finding a lot of zombies around. So I ended up logging of there and logging on in the morning when the system was virtual empty. I didn't want to risk going straight into their web, when I knew what they were cabable to. And according to the long thread earlier on this forum, I was right :)
I switched to an less effective agent a bit away from molden heat, I can't be arsed to be ganked every day just because an agent sends me to Zombieland.
But I don't complain, I just avoid battle with experienced pvp'ers as much as I can.
Good job making a name!

Would you like to rethink that tactic ? Remembering that jamming/dampning is an agressive act and means your poor ickle frigate will be blown to hell and back by sentry guns.
You could do it with griffins and try to keep outta range of the sentries. - - - - - - - - -

they certainly keep us on our toes, makes the game that bit more interestin imo. I lost my scorp to em, tho not at a gate, was warpin round belts when i warped right on top of two of there scorps, knowing what would happen i began to lock as i alligned for warp, jammed one, and managed to warp to station, big mistake! next thing my scanner fills with names, and as far as i am aware, this is what i had on my ass, 2 or 3 scorps, a megathron, a tempest and an interceptor =) ripped me up in seconds, escaped with my pod mind. Was certainly the most eventful part of the evening for me. tought me a lesson, n thats what counts.

as it is classed as an agressive act to sensor dampen, then i think the sentrys should have an affective defence for this. let them go do there gate camping **** in 0.0 where it belongs and where it is excepted

why part of the game is the unexcepted, and if you can do it then why not? i think it was stupid they were all banned from the game for YUL event its CCP's fault for letting it go on not their fault for being able to do it! how can it be considered an exploit if they are using legit equipment to carry it out even if they are ****ing people off.

You could do it with griffins and try to keep outta range of the sentries.
When Zombie start their attack, they already attract the full sentry aggression against their tank. That is the tactic. The bad thing other corp m8 of them can shout without been attacked by sentrys. The backside of the coin is that you can attack also without getting attacked from the sentrys. Of course only if they already tanking the sentrys. _____________________________________ Dead or Alive

"don't know zombie as i'm a noob, but fear of them, and their ilk is what makes this game interesting"
fear them? this is a game...
now if zombie abused the game in such a way as too say break your computer...sure then you have RL complications and i supose fear is resonable. but in a fake little world why possible would anyone "fear" anyone?
just remember why we have uber sentry guns now, Zombie thinks they can beat CCP but we will all just get squished by a **** jackboot to stop them. THey would do us a favor by quitting EVE all together...but they wont and lets just sit cback and wait for harser rules to be put in.
thanks zombi

Fragm,
Just because it is in the game, does not make it fair play. That is _exactly_ why they have the exploit clause. It covers the points where the game mechanics can be manipulated to act in a way that was not intended. What is/was intended or not is of course hard to determine as a player, but I'm sure CCP do not enforce that rule excessively. The Yulai incident seemed to me a very good example of what that rule was there for. And that has nothing to do with whether it was Zombie or whoever doing it. Never had a runin with them. What they were doing in Atlar seems a bit more on the edge. The reality of what they are doing is making sentry guns hard on the small guys, but useless against big bad guys.
That though, is something CCP must debate within their own ranks. Personally I think it is a flaw as that enables a almost undetectable and unavoidable trap for the little guy in a system that was supposed to carry _some_ protection. If there was some cost to the likes of Zombie for doing it, that would change the scenario significantly in my view. Then they wouldn't do it to kill frigates, I would presume.
On another note, I am too baffled by the worshipping and praise of such actions. Especially by the victims. As long as the objective alone seems, and it does to me, to be to just kill anyone coming through, I cannot gather up any kind of respect for it. Let alone reason. Please feel free to correct me here, if I presume to much. It does not seem to me as if it takes bravery, ability og intelligence. Just the will and the financial ability. Again, correct me if I am wrong. It resembles a little kid getting beat up in the schoolyard by the big guys without the teachers spotting it - and then try to sweettalk them so it won't be him again the next time.
On an end note, before the Carebear Choir starts; I am _not_ advocating more safety here really - at most advocating more logic behind the safety measures installed.
And the logic behind this can be defended. But the ramifications of it is up to CCP to weigh out. But the "Don't complain if it's in the game"/"It is not an exploit if it is in the game" argument simply could not be allowed to stand. :) |

It's pretty safe once you've triggered the sentries, tanked the initial onslaught, and then sensor-damped them to virtually zero range.
The problem for anyone wishing to tackle them is this:
If you shoot their -4.9 and above players and they warp out, do the sentries switch to you?
How do you know which one is attracting the attention of the sentry guns?
It's tricky.
Bounty hunter corps may want to get on Chaos and experiment.

They wheren't banned for the Yulai thing, they where banned cause they didn't listen to a GM when he told them to stop doing it. AFAIK
Oh and take it easy with all those insults, getting that worked up about what I posted can't be good for ones health. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

I have to agree with the following post for the most part. Sorry to say, but sentry tanking sounds like a lame ass way to get around the AI Concord so you can grief people. If you think about how this would apply to a "realistic" scenario, how likely is it that Concord would be stupid enough to fall for this crap if Concord was played by real players.
This is just wannabe badass griefers exploiting a design flaw.
No worship for you ya ****ers.
