Bumping is a scram with no module - plain and simple. I don’t really care - I fly my ships tanked. And I don’t fill them like a piñata. I just find it amusing as how bumping a cost-free mechanic is used to remove risk for a gank.
I am however on Singularity about to see just how long I can AFK bump for to prevent an ORCA warping.
It’s not a scram at all. A bumped ship could still use a MJD or MMJD if one is equipped / available.

Excellent, do let me know how it develops.
MJD is a mid right - Large Freighter is all lows. Try again.
Roger that - also using bump doctrine fit.
I can tell you right now… it’s literally not possible. Orcas are harder to bump than freighters and will most often times have some kind of prop mod, making them rather squirmy.
100% impossible to keep a ship bumped while afk

You think that freighters are the only ships that get ganked and include bumping?
I could offer to jump into a freighter for him.
It singularity - I can fly a Providence even a JF on my Indy. Can test them all.
Do you know what the approach command does?

OK, by the way, the approach command starts to slow down when it gets near.
PS I don’t believe that you can AFK bump anything…

A hardcap has no effect on whether you use AFK or manual bumping.
Its a non-issue.
Yeah. I figure go cap-stable and add an MWD
Yes but it will still slow down when near the freighter.

The point is actually testing at this point to deal with their accusations and also to confirm if and when the 5 HR bump session took place.
Roger that - will see if it can knock me off an align.
It slows down and will actually stop your engine when you hit a certain distance. Your ship will sit there until the distance between you and the object is increased, and then your ship will move close again.

Yeah I should have mentioned that too, thanks.

So what he is going to find is that the bump ship will just follow the freighter around like a caboose. The pilot can the align to something… anything else and warp with ease.
This isn’t some nightmare where all someone has to do is hit approach on your ship and you’re just stuck there… if that were the case then gankers would be doing this so they can do other things with their attention.
