Is it still possible to take on cargo convoys if I set up to hit them while being +150km from the protecting guns? Or do Concord rip you a new one now?
BTW is it still 150km for security guns or have CCP added more range to them?
Thanks for any advice. |

when i was ganking haulers the other day, i was sat just over 150km FROM THE STATION. however, when i was doing it, when i activated my guns, the sentries fired one volley at my ship then stopped, so make sure you got shield boosters/armor repairers. im not sure what happens if you go 150km from teh guns themselves, maybe they wont shoot you at at, but at like 180km or whatever from the convoys, my damage isnt fantastic...

well CCP clearly didnt put theyre brains in gear when they made the increase in sentry gun range.. its very clear they didnt adjust the convoy mechanics to compensate, so convoys almost always despawn while still in sentry gun range...
I would suggest that someone in CCP takes 5 minutes out Shiva to adjust the despawn range/timer so that it is the same as before, when convoys would travel at least twice the distance of the sentry gun range.. its not as if they drop anything great anyway since the great loot-table nerf of recent patches..

I'd love to see convoys traveling through gates and such. Maybe even venturing into 0.0 w/ some battleship escorts. Would at a lot to the "feeling" of the game.

I agree masochist... in some way or other convoys need some attention. In the long term they could do with being a little more dynamic and immersive, but im the short term they need to be balanced with the new sentry gun ranges as a matter of urgency..

Quite a few months ago I took the time to bookmark various spawn points of the convoys in one system, I then placed a giant secure container at each spawn point.
This worked well for a few days and to be honest it seemed to easy, the money was rolling in. All of a sudden they started warping away 50km away from me, this was approx 100km away from the nearest drone.
That put an end to my convoy killing days... like I said though it was easy, to easy to be fair, like mentioned above I think convoy's should go through gates or spawn at different points (but always out of the sentry range).
Was good fun while it lasted though
