Some buddies have gotten themselves involved in a war and I figure I'd give'em a hand with the bump-a-tix of doom. Brutix with 100mn microwarp drive which used to be useful for getting folks off station, currently passes straight through ships when traveling over 3000 m/s. Even at slower speeds the thing seems to be much less effective.
Anyone else having trouble giving a good bump post patch or am I just Doing It Wrong (tm)? --

We did some tests.
Bumping appears nerfed. It pushes the ship at a high velocity but slows down almsot instantly. Occasionally you get a good bump but it seems it's only from 'overlaps' such as undocking etc.
Hope this helps.

At least I'm not going crazy. So much for the only real weapon short of overwhelming DPS to take care of docking games. Not to mention bowling for farmers in the ice belts anymore. Now that the majority of them have swapped to mining into secure cans its getting progressively harder to interrupt their business without taking a severe sec hit anymore.

Hmm, bumping added that extra spice and excitement for both dockers and outsid-stationers.

Unfortunately not, I can't bump anything with my nano apoc unless I'm doing less than about 3k/sec when I start hitting things properly - otherwise I either pass straight through or they bump a little bit and the stop totally

yah, its really not a big deal, i stick them on my harbies all the time for blasting miners out of range. can get upwards of 4km/s out of the old bird. be warned though, it takes me upwards of 200km to reach maximum speed

I loved my 100MN MWD II nano myrm. I'd jump into my snake set and hit 15km/s... with a mind-linked claymore, I was able to hit almost 24kms. I think that was with an overheated mwd, but not sure. I had an unfortunate incident where I was trying to ram a dread off station and he decided to unleash his sentry drones.
Back on topic, yes i've noticed that bumping at high speeds has definately been stealth nerfed.

i havent gotten to try this out, but i think you can still bump with multiple people: like 3 people well placed at the right speed can knock someone like a ball being passed, and instead you bump off them...i noticed a similar effect when i undock in jita or something, so i would be interested in trying it...it will take more coordination and work, but hey thats wat a good nerf is, it should inspire us to work harder for the same result >.<
once again this is just an idea, due to the impending speed nerf i have steered away from nano settups :-(

Edited by: Soban Vuex on 16/10/2008 09:41:08 I believe have a bit of explanation about bumping and i have the feeling it has to do something with the signature ration of your and target ships, I cant explain it right as i lack English V, and Eve V, so ill just state what ive noticed and u make the math.
Bumping BS with BS+MWD = Success Bumping BS with BC+MWD = 50% Success(bumps + stops) Bumping BS with HAC+MWD = Success ( I have never failed at bumping something with my Ishtar going 4km/s) Bumping BC with BS+MWD = Success Bumping BC with BC+MWD = 50% Success Bumping BC with HAC = Success Bumping anything smaller than those in anything smaller than a BS = Fail (dont know why, but i just fly tru them.

Bumping caps still seems to work about ~70% of the times..ive found out that around 75% speed is best with a nanophoon..

Change direction right before the bump so you dont fly straight into them, but at a certain angle.

Try webbing someone when you bump them, works wonders. __________________

It's not uncommon to fail to bump something even under 3km/s with something smaller than a BC.
and, tbqfh, it's lame. _______________________________________________ 10100110010100101010011010100101001100101110101 I will Conquer My Signature Somewhere in the future 10100110010100101010011010100101001100101110101 |

i dont see how you can go faster with a 100mn then a 10mn the numbers are the same.
- 100mn gives 500% bonus. - 10mn gives 500% bonus.
please explain this. --- Somebody needs a hug! |
