Why would it matter to them? Either you’re alpha and not paying a dime to them. Or you’ve paid a month (or in my case) a year in advance with a subscription or PLEX. They already have your money. They don’t give a crap about the time you have.

You talked a lot of pointless nonsense about getting fleets together, different routes, using a shuttle, then rabbling on about your HAC, none of it was actually about Hictors. You are right, I wasn’t able to take in that information because it was utter bollox. You did, finally, manage to come up with the dual prop thing, when you realised that everything you had said previously did not make any sense, and I was happy to take that idea on board

What? Are you 5 or something?

You can always respond later. No one is going to get upset because you don’t immediately respond back.

This is an MMO, not my fault that you insist on solo.

I don’t even know where you were, and I still don’t. Different routes are a legitimate tactic.

> [@Dogwatch\_Coup](#):

Again, a legitimate tactic for getting around a HIC (or other bubbles, but watch out for smart bombs!)

> [@Dogwatch\_Coup](#):

I never said I had a HAC, just that one could catch a frigate.

> [@Dogwatch\_Coup](#):

All of it is about dealing with a HIC in your path.

You mean you didn’t understand it.

> [@Dogwatch\_Coup](#):

You mean, once I realized you needed things spelled out for you.

What is this even about? If you need to go to bed, just go to bed. The words will be there when you wake up. Aren’t forums great for talking to people all over the place?

LOL you absolute liar! It only occurred to you when you were talking your way out of your previous post!

I know you read this, you quoted every thing in it, except for using your speed. Guess what dual propping (or even just using an AB) is doing?

Dude, you’re not fooling anyone. ‘Use your speed to travel out of the bubble’ is not the same as ‘try a dual prop fit’. Had you had said that at the beginning, I would have said: yeah! great idea, cheers mate! 🙂 but you didn’t you talked bollox first and then threw in the AB (to counter the burn away while scrammed nonsense). In fact, come to think of it, I think it was me that first mentioned dual prop!

You mean, you had no idea that I could be talking about modules that make you go zoom zoom?

Yes and when I figured out you needed to be directly told, I told you…and then complained that I assumed you could think on your own.

> [@Dogwatch\_Coup](#):

No, you mentioned an oversized AB, which would not actually help in this case as your acceleration would be crap. So I steered you more towards dual propping.

In case you are a minor, you really should go to bed and continue the conversation in your free time. If you aren’t a minor, by all means keep on keeping yourself up and replying while I mine away.

Ha ha ha. ok so you didn’t mention ‘dual prop’ to me initially cos ‘you hadn’t figured out that I needed to be directly told’ This is what you expect me to believe? come on…

I’ve had a laugh now at least 🙂

Whatever helps you sleep at night. 😉

You really need to stop trying assume what people are thinking though, and I’ll stop assuming that people have a basic understand of fitting ships in EVE.

filament in, use a wormhole, use a nullification module… there are THAT many ways to avoid bubbles now its ridiculous… there’s almost no point even camping with my pair of sabres these days in fact it seems interdictors have become the fleet tackle of choice and interceptors are not as common as they once were… the games become somewhat stale tbvh not just through lack of ship choice (after 16 years y’know…) but just activity too but likely thats merely the way players play…

Align away from him, cloak, fire MWD and use the first speedboost (yes the MWD will complete it’s full cycle even under cloak) to slowboat out of his bubble?

Use a 10MN AB fit?

Use a fast hull (Slasher, Slicer, Firetail…) and just burn away with any normal AB?

Use a Maulus with TripleDamp (range scripted) and bring his lockrange to 10km?
