I can’t right now, but I just wanted to share this because I was chatting about piracy recently and I cannot for the life of me see why pirates are not using the Tholos more.
Maybe it’s just that with the Tholos the focus is not on the gate camp, but tracking the target over it’s jumps through systems. The focus is on seeing targets early in their voyage rather than later in their voyage.
Yes I’m referring to the damage over time mechanism. So I could hit a target with the pods and not need to follow it for the damage to take effect.
Tracking would have to be done by someone who can follow or keep the ship on grid because it might change course or something.
The only issue is that it might be able to dock at station which would nullify the whole thing. Might have to scram and web a ship down - which I don’t think causes concord retailiation.
First up: Evading CONCORD, by any means, is an Exploit. It can get you banned.
Second: go and throw a Breacher Pod at a random neutral in Hisec. Please report back your findings.
I can’t see this going too well, I believe if the target uses a gate then the effect of the breacher pod ceases. Plus those breacher pods aren’t cheap!
I ensure you that while the Tholos IS a great piracy ship, it definitely will never be used in that way you think. Yes, sometimes there is the requirement that you explode a vessel in Highsec so that you can take a better look inside. However, there are much cheaper ways of achieving this than feeding a ship worth several hundred million ISK to our dear CONCORD officers.
