We petitioned "Bibi" (Norad alliance). Answer GM:"This is a valid tactic - feel free to use it!"
Once everybody uses it - game over.
CCP - i want to see the game in 1 year, everybody (except n00bs) using bms and this exploit. Cool game and so much action and pvp elements. And the pirating or pirate hunter careers are sooooooooooooo funny - i would pay 30 $ instead of 12$ - really

Again:
We petitioned "Bibi" (Norad) using this. The exploit makes it impossible to kill s1 at a gate if he also uses bookmarks. Gamemaster answered:"This is a legal tactic. You and your friends feel free to use it yourself".
I think it¦s really bad for the game mechanisms and sooner or later it will end all pirate and - pirate hunter careers, because pirates can use this too to escape the headhunters. All in all i think, if CCP goes on to allow this, the game will loose. Remember: it¦s not possible to trap people at gates - but where else if not at gates? At Stations where they can dock if they see the fleet outside? In the roids where they have 2-3 minutes to check local before we can scan them? In Jove space?
CCP - it¦s lame, it¦s an exploit and if you dont stop it, we will use it to escape the experienced hunters and kill the n00bs instead. Example: I camp at a 0.0 gate in jump range. If a n00b frigs comes, i¦ll toast it, if 3 Celest BS come i jump and use the exploit. Unstopable. And we still want "Bibi" at least warned for using this.

Quote: 12. Do not post about bugs and exploits.
Bugs and exploits should be reported through the proper method by filing a report for our Quality Assurance department. You can find the form here. Issues discovered while playing on the Chaos test server should be noted in the Patch Review forum. Discussions about unverified problems in the game can cause unnecessary panic in the community. When there is an issue the community needs to be aware of, we will make an official statement about it.
Can¦t you read what i am saying??? GM wrote:"It¦s a legal tactic. You and your friends feel free to use it too".
But i would like a GM or Dev to state this here too. Make players like me understand for what it should be good to allow this "legal tactic"???
CCP - the n00bs will suffer a lot for your bad descisions to make it again harder or nearly impossible to catch an experienced player using bms and the "valid tactic". Blob  |

Folks, if you don¦t know what¦s going on - just dont post! There is an exploit can be used to be unlockable and it can be used at every gate - comprende? CCp said it¦s "a valid tactic".

Quote: I thought it wasn't an 'exploit' there....and get the cotton our of your ears. It is possible to achieve lock on a logging ship outta cloak...it's just not easy. Then the ship doesn't go anywhere and it dies. Second of all, why exactly is this so important anyway? (Use an interceptor on an indy and see what happens.)
No, you dont get a lock, even if you use 8 sensor boosters and 8 remote sensor boosters. In my eyes it¦s an exploit - but you know CCP said:"it¦s a valid tactic, feel free to use it", so we will use it and everybody will use it soon - except n00bs.
To be true - i think CCP will change it because they know about 2000-3000 pvp-players that dont like to be unable to use all their nice weapons and battleships on a big fat indy or an bad bad pirate because he simply logs cloaked.

Edited by: Lifewire on 20/05/2004 08:42:02 @Angry Dan:
Gates are the pvp-locations! 95% of all kills are done there. Why? because they can be done there. I guess if you would be a pirate you would go to a 0.0 belt or planet and wait for traffic 
Nobody can kill nobody. Ah, i forgot the n00bs. They dont know how to use it. Blob , if you know what i talk of...

Nice post Alpha! But you forgot 1 thing: the n00bs will pay for it and they will die (Blob again )while "experienced" alliance-players make billions and cannot be harmed.
