OK So after a year or so of playing Eve and not having lost a ship my record was broken by Lord Gank it Gonditsa who was gate camping and shield tanking with his mates - What makes me sick is I fell into the trap of complacency and minimised my Eve window to check my emails only to glance back and find the screen covereds in red dots - ***T! I exclaimed and started trying to rectify the situation by activating everything etc. but of course it was too little too late (and no doubt I would have gotten trashed anyway - I was way outnumbered).
Anyway the funny thing was my cap was almost zero before I even started to react - now I guess they were using Nosferatu but I was down to about 10% cap in no time at all and lost that in a couple of seconds. Up to now I have always assumed Nosferatu's to be a waste of time but this really crippled me from doing anything and seemes to be a very effective weapon - anyone else been a victim to this??
I don't mind losing my Tempest so much as the kit I had on it - F90 Positional Sub-Routines, Phased Muon, 3 x +3 Implants (yeah - they podded me also), Ward Annointed EM Shield all the stuff it has taken me time to aquire - am now contemplating war with their corp so I can maybe play a game of picking the swines off one at a time but in any case it livened my gaming experience up somwhat and taught me NEVER to minimise my Eve window again - its full screen all the way from now on.

Many thanks - Well what makes it a little worse is I fired off FOF's - which of course attacked the ships that were tanking Lord Ganks shields - as such the sentry guns saw this as me attacking and helped to finish me off - lol lol lol - if I didnt laugh I'd be placing myself into an airlock and welcoming the oblivion of space.........

Thanks - I thought you'd be happy, I guess it was a Nosferatu that was responsible for my alarming cap drop??

It makes a pleasant change to have someone accept their loss as part of the game. All the warning signs were there of course, not everyone it seems pays attention to them.

My view of the Nosf. has been suitably raised.

I thought that this kind of piracy was an exploit. Is it? Or did I just get it wrong? And what about dampening sentries, is that exploit?
If it is, it shouldnt be.

Could be energy neutralizers, or a mix of the 2 they can compliment each other well used in the right combo

We petitioned to make sure, don't worry.
"No, neither case is considered an exploit. The rule is that you can pretty much do whatever you want in 0.4 systems and lower.

yer, probably energy neutralizers. they work like a beast. stops frigs mwd'ing for a few seconds. 2 can stop a cruiser from warping. they are all good. Lord Gank has 2 posts about him. thats funny. Mimiru > It'd be a tie, the monkies nerfed pooflinger wouldnt have enough tracking to hit the parrot orbiting him, but the parrot's beak is so small it couldnt break the monkey's fur tanking. |

I'd heard that tanking sentries was ok as long as noone was shield transfering to the tank ship, in <.4
Seems that every GM has a different viewpoint on this though, which is just super. It would be nice if a difinitive statement about what's allowed and what isnt gets released, but I'm not holding my breath. -------------------------------------------- CONCORD: Kneecapping Pilots for Misdemeanors Since 2003 |

Heavy energy neutralizers works like a charm, 500 cap drained each 24 sec...
Nosferatus only transfers 100 cap each 12 sec, so if you meet anyone that uses a lot of cap, make sure to have at least two heavy energy neutralizers on...
With those two, one ship would drain 2000 cap in 24 sec...which is really bad for any shieldtank/laser-using enemy...(Don't work very well vs tempests though, since projectiles use very little cap...)
...and with the light all life vanished... |

Nice to see there are always new and exiting ways for FoF missiles to be utterly bugf!ck useless

Thats not strictly true. The sentries did not fire on you and wouldnt have because they were already firing at one of our ships. Sentries only engage one target at a time.

Ok guys, now its my turn. Having spent months of hiding away from all (mostly playing with myself, need more lubrication over here!!!)mastering new combat attack methods. Wobegong I would like to add most of your gear went with your ship sad to say. However our intention as always is to offer the the option of payment instead of destruction. I did convo you to offer this, however you did not take up the convo. As far as cap gose after lots of testing I can suck dry almost any ship cap boosting included. And regarding using low cap wepons you will not even be able to use them. Life and death is just a missile away.. Live long and shag allot. It's in the sock draw hunny. Shut up you fool, Im quite mad you know... Its all this Blue blood interbreeding... http://www.fallschirmjager.net/evepics/colonel3.jpg |

OK that may be true but I did get the standard message that I had violated blah blah - it may have been splash damage of course from my torps in the heat of the moment didnt really notice if I was taking hits from Gank or Sentries
Hi Gank - Well I guess I take consolation that you missed out on a lot of good kit then if most went with my ship, that ship was loyal to me - been through a lot together - maybe it was its last desperate act of loyalty to take down its kit (so to speak) with it - then again maybe not.
As to the comments that I accept what happened to me - of course I accept it - its a game right? The thing people need to remember is that the worst that happens when you are destroyed and podded is that you lose your ship (big deal, buy another or if insured there'll be one waiting for you in the hanger) and unless stupid thats it (by stupid I mean you dont have an adequate clone).
Implants, Named items etc. are the only thing to annoy me - but I keep a stash of these at my base anyway so apart from now having to plot a course around Ganks hunting ground to get 'em there's very little to worry about apart from lost pride and new found respect for players ansd tactics as was the case here.
