Last night I engaged a local pirate at a gate (k4rl) the fight was evenly matched to begin with, but after a little while it became obvious I was going to emerge the victor. At this stage his corpmate Mafish logged on and proceeded to the gate to meet us in his raven (I was in a tanked typhoon, k4rl was in a tanked tempest and mafish was in a raven)
Unable to escape I had no choice but to battle on, I switched to mafish as my main target and begain the bombardment. My armour was dwindling but at the same time...so was mafish.. to my amazement they both warped out.
Now I know that:
a) logon tactics are now legal anyway 
b) Sneaky tend to play in an internet cafe, so even if it were still an exploit it would be a border line case
but goddam that was sneaky 
Instas??

and as for the sentry guns.....untill very recently I was -7.8 (spent 2 weeks ratting in 0.0) you dont have to remind me about sentry guns I know all too well what sentries can do for a guy. when I first engaged he was 38k from me. I didnt have mwd or ab, he chose to fight. he was probably going to lose. I'm not bitter really just using it as a good oppertunity to gloat
had I lost my ship I would probably have been wining a little bit more

I dont think it was an intentional trap. just felt like I had victory snatched from me.
was a bloody good laugh though. I was having a fit on teamspeak.

I didnt say it was an exploit, just said it was "sneaky" its impossible to check for such things using game mechanics, which is exactly why this sort of thing is currently being reviwed by the devs.

This is slightly different as it was not an intentional login trap and i dont blame them in any way for doing it (I would have done the same) but something has to be done.

rawr i play at that net cafe and i can vouch for them saying they wernt there last night, it closes at 10:30pm BST and it was 11pm+ when the engagment occured  (i was listening on TS) and i heard that everyones buddy bl3ach logged on just after mafish... where you planning the same thing there eddie?
at least its proved my theory wrong, you arnt as nubbish as everybody previously thought 
internet cafe/teamspeak.... same difference. still cant be delt with using in game mechanics. I am all for using "sneaky" tactics untill they are deemed to be an exploit. However this is one I think needs looking at.
as I said earlier on in this thread i would have done the same thing, bl3ach however was a good 4 jumps out and his logging in was a co-incidence.

eddit.... I'm a spaz. glossed over dezzys post and misread.
even if he did come from another system a bit of extra time to kill k4rl would have been nice for me
as for switching targets..... when mafish turned up I tried to call back my drones and wait out the aggresision timer (was in jump range) , but instead of them comming back to my drone bay they decided to attack mafish. so I put my weaps on him.
