Odysseus Q&A... stats. secrets, tuts, etc

I watched yesterday L0ru video where he blitz a Thera WH q
with a friend with two (free) Odysseus.
Not spoilering this video how it ends now… but there’s some serious questions about
how that video ends…

Within the run they also jump ship, go fo a gas run, come back, and the Odysseus is still there…

My questions are…

Is it possible to jump-boartd another ship and activate a delayed cloak so the Odysseus becomes invisible or does it stays visible to every enemy the whole time???

There is a “remote overview” of the Odysseus whilst you are in the “children” ship
(Astero, Outrider, Providence, Prospect, etc) that allows certain actions to be taken by
the Odysseus whilst still on the other ship.

One notable one is the ability to scoop up your “children” ship and automatically board the Odysseus.

There’s a lot to unravel on the Odysseus…

O,m,g….

I am quite excited by this. I was hoping we could do this. From what I understand, as long as you have your mothership targeted it cannot be interacted by another capsuleer. But I don’t know if this is the case because I have not tried it myself.

Modules deactivate if you unboard it, so no this is not possible.

That may be possible, but I would never unboard a 2b+ ship outside a POS. It’s just asking for your ship to get stolen.

This is true.

But realize that you too cannot board it while another capsuleer has it targeted so this is no practical safety measure. With other players on grid it becomes a challenge of ‘who can stay online longest’ to see if you can get your Odysseus back, and if they lose patience they can also decide to simply shoot it after the standoff of 7 hours.

You’re most likely not going to get that Odysseus back intact. Don’t unboard your ship.

the actual owner can always reboard even if targeted by someone else

Or they bump them out of targeting range.

So, i have. Several times. In J space, several years ago I was in a wormhole corporation, and we used to do this with battleships on a regular basis. Undocking your scanning frigate and go do sites, Come back to your battleship. The most important thing, is to never go more than 14 AU from your ship, and constantly look for combat probes in dscan.

Now, it’s a lot scarier with an Odysseus. And I only did it just to see the cool animation that goes along with your ship Disembarking. While nothing and Eve is ever completely safe, if you are well versed in jspace, it’s actually not too hard to make yourself reasonably safe. Anyway, there’s my two cents.

WH life was really cool, before the great scarcity Reset… years in building up the small WH corp went though the drain as it became absolutely unsustainable for our small corp members to maintain.

I wish you a good time indeed, with the new changes it could be viable again. What is harder, is to regain the trust of those that gave up…

After all these years I still don’t feel confident enough to do it again…
But I’m training new Toons and maybe there is some small corps out there
worth diying for…

Can’t it get password protection in theory???
Like a secured container?

And couldn’t one un-board whilst leaving it in cloack mode also???

That’s two things that combined would double the pleasure to fly it.

In theory, yes.

But I don’t see why CCP would go through that effort, as nobody would use it. Anyone who leaves their Odysseus behind ‘password protected’ most likely finds it back as a wreck if someone didn’t manage to break the password, so this would do nothing for the owner of the ship.

Unboarding a ship disables all modules, including cloak.
