Ok. 99% safe. Sorry.
Or are you saying we shouldn’t remove local from null because someone could awox? You so remember what we are talking about here.
Well you should be happy that I have holes in intel and are not 100% risk free. The argument is over, you have your wish.
I also carrier ratted solo for a month all over nulsec before joining an alliance.
And why would that make him lose a VNI if he was at the keyboard? It wouldn’t, i’ve landed in those double spawns loads of times. If you are at the keyboard you just leave (slowly is fine) and clear it in something else or move on.
Then you are lucky. I don’t care how good you think you are at the game, if you are in warp to a site and a red appears, you are completely at the mercy of whether he finds you or not and wants to kill you.
I don’t even think you could rat for 1 day in provi in a carrier without some form of player intel and stay alive. There are too many hotdroppers that pass through, and as soon as they see a carrier on D-scan they will be in and out for hours trying to catch you.

I tend to do them but then again I have pretty high SP so no issue, but I have seen low SP people lose ships to them and they were not AFK or made other errors.

Yeah that’s kinda my point. If you can run em with high SP then pretty much nobody is going to get alpha’s off the field before they get a chance to warp out upon finding it double spawned.
They did, and i moved. They tried to logon trap me, they tried using groups of interceptors / dictors to shotgun the anoms. All of which are visible through intel and all of which i avoided by expecting it to happen. Now i’m not saying that i will never get caught, of course i will. My point is that i was doing it for weeks on end all over various nulsec while i decided where i would look for an alliance. It’s a bit of a stretch to put it all down to luck purely because your experience doesn’t match mine…
I understand where the vulnerabilities are in ratting in a carrier so it’s not a stretch at all to say it’s luck. I think you are trying to BS me.

What holes do you have in Intel that keep you from looking at local chat?
So again, educate me on when it’s smart to use a titan for PVE. You’re the expert here. I want to learn.
You are going way off topic, however some people use their titans to rat, the AOE doomsday is especially effective in in certain sites and they make a lot of ISK.
He and I have already explained this multiple times…
Agreed some people do it. Some people also run sites in AT ships.
Clever though, bringing up something unrelated, then telling me I’m off topic when I respond, just because I point out how often you try to derail a thread. This gets you up to a 4/10 on trolling/baiting.
that keep you from looking at local chat
I did specifically say i know i’ll be caught eventually, i’m not claiming to be superman. What i’m saying is that in my opinion it was too easy for me to rat in my capital ship. Whether or not you believe i’m talking BS is neither here nor there.
who in their right mind would rat in a dread? XD
What would immediately happen is a lot of the nullbears would flock not-null because risk/reward. The big alliances would still have intel because they are used to organizing things. The smaller ones would have to join a big alliance or they’d just get swarmed by idiots who don’t understand what “over-harvesting your prey” means: once they know they’ve got a source of kills, they’ll just keep going until it dries up.
There are some PvP-oriented fits which can work in sites, but that’s what N+1ing is for. The locals can also do that: it’s not hard to say “We want to run the anoms around [planet]”, which makes response times a lot shorter if they aren’t running caps.
If people stop running anoms, the other balancing factor comes into play: cheap X-type mods won’t be so cheap after a while, and will be more interesting to chase after. C and B-type battleship mods can be gotten by running escalations from lowsec sites, but they can’t be done in serious volume because low just doesn’t make that many anoms. Except… weren’t those supposed to be really shiny and expensive anyway?
And other stuff I missed because EVE is really complex.
It would be kind of interesting to watch.

Local isn’t enough if you are ratting in a carrier. When your good enough to fly a carrier you’ll find that out.
I think you made the story up to try and make it sound too easy. It doesn’t sound believable at all.
I could not do it where I am, but in Delve or in Deklin possibly.
Actually that was a defensive comment on my part because I was expecting you to then tell me I was going off topic yet again…
Intel from local, when he said holes in it he is referring to the simple fact that not all systems have people in consistently, thus allowing people to hide from view until they come in system, this can enable them to get on top of slow warping ships that are en route to a site or VNI’s in small systems. The onus is on the hunter to use such gaps. Did that help in your education.

Well I would not, being stuck there for five minutes is not my idea of fun, the only case is killing an NPC dread, generally two carriers are a better way to destroy an NPC dread.
Well that’s the problem here isn’t it. Anything that doesn’t confirm your bias is easily just labeled as BS. That’s why nobody listens to you 
It’s easy to assume that anyone who does better than you is cheating but it’s a weakness.
