I admit, I did simplify my calculation a bit, but due to how warp acceleration and deceleration works, the bookmarks aren’t spread linearly and every warp from one point A to another point B produces new possible bookmark spots unique to that warp trajectory between A and B. And warping from B to A produces a different set, while warping fom the second bookmark in set A-B to bookmark three from B-A again produces a set of possible bookmarks unique to the warp of A-B2 to B-A3.
As such, the order of the warps matters too, which I think is not the case for your example (although I could be wrong).
With the simplification that each warp takes 10 ticks and therefore produces 10 possible bookmark spots, this results in 1000 options if you know bookmark 1 is made from Celestial A->B, bookmark 2 from Celestial C-> bookmark 1 and the final safe from bookmark 2->bookmark 1.
(And for example if it is unknown whether the final safe is made from bookmark 1-> 2 or in warp from 2->1, then our possible amount of locations doubles to 2000.)
While your equilateral triangle correctly says that with sides taking 10 ticks a middle path takes less time (8.66 rounded to 9 in EVE’s tick system), this variation isn’t really significant as I already made the rather impactful simplification of assuming all warps take 10 ticks.
As warps can take much more or much fewer ticks than that based on distances and warp speeds, I wanted to avoid that to keep the example simple.
Oh, but the trig accounts for that. You’re always beginning with 30 possibilities, then multiplying by (10 * 1) for the first level, another (10 * 2) for the second level, another (10 * 3) for the third level, etc. The forums keep formatting the numbers all weird.
The point here is that if the safe spot is just 2 bookmarks deep, Vlad would only need to make up to about 300 warps, and not a whopping 1,000.
Shills*. You’ve been corrected multiple times. You seem to have a fetish for being wrong.
Also, considering the context of the OP from five years ago (decloaking someone at a safe spot), then yes: “place”, “location”, and “spot” all mean “within 2km-2.5km”. Ignoring this fact won’t make it go away, and thus, you are still…
…wrong.
Sounds like a cop out to me. Are you unable to… rise… to the challenge? I’d see a Dr about that…
This is irrelevant and doesn’t apply to the OP from five years ago.
Tell us more about your dreams, lmao
I don’t blame you for blocking them… they’re pretty much ripping you to pieces in their posts and making you look really bad. I guess that’s how you maintain your “superiority” ( ), you just block everyone you thrashes you so you don’t have to face it. This is called “the narcissistic ostrich”. lmao
I guess I’ve thrashed Dacvlad against the wall too hard, he can barely type one sentence response to me now.
Go get some rest little one, and daydream about winning internet arguments. When you’re feeling better, we’ll be waiting here to give you another thrashing.
As if I am bothered by that. In the end Knowledgeminer got kicked from the AG channels for ganking. Therefore I have no reason at all to interact with him anymore. As far as I am concerned when he started to gank alongside CODE it was a great day, because I would not have to watch him alienate so many people in the AG chat channels. But thanks for reminding me of that. Another happy event.

My god this thread delivers. It’s a gold mine! I have to be honest Dracvlad, I used to always just ignore you for the most part because you seemed like the typical basic, toxic - but otherwise unintelligent and unimportant - troll. But I see you are so good for a real belly laugh! I had no idea what I was missing!
To waste your time and spend effort to find that makes me very amused, obviously me talking about your great ability in ninja mining hisec moons had such a major impact on your own self worth. Thank you for giving me a huge belly laugh.
For a start if I block people it is because they are either just 100% nasty trolls with nothing interesting to say, such as Dum Dum and Ramoana, or went too far stupidly such as Aiko. I block other people when they get too excited and I am bored with them, like you very soon.
