Spam Depot Pest

:yawning_face: :wink: :popcorn:

You have your Evemail set to not receive rp evemail from us so we had to make it official here .

One week from today your pilot will receive a bashing.

Not sure what you are talking about. Did you even try sending an EVEmail? :thinking:

This is among the greatast nonsense i have ever heard on these forums.
Not saying it isn’t true, I don’t live in NS. But if it is, it’s a ridiculous absurdity.

This is why I often run in the dark. I have an overview that blocks all the brackets, selects only other ships, and there is CTRL+Shift+F9 toggle. My frame rate leaps up ten times the amount. I don’t do much fancy flying or PvP as John here is only a miner. Anything else is on the server side software, which is out of our hands. It is up to the game designers and network engineers to make it better or worse. Between depots, wrecks, cans, and the hodgepodge of items placed there by CCP, it is little wonder this game lags on the best PCs with the best connections.

The only real world solution I can see, to make the depot less desirable as a commercial platform, would be to shorten the name field in the database. You still have to deal with those players who spend their ISK skywriting messages. Not everything is simple to fix with a roll of duct tape.

Thank you for pointing exactly what I mean, that is so frustrating.

i guess the best way is to use a non PvE char to do this,
with torpedos you can reinforce with a single shot, literally doing driveby’s :wink:
Covert helps as some of the spammers gonna try to outsmart you.

Retaliation is rare, unless you start attacking depots from established corps, just be unpredictable as in not showing up the second the reinforcement ends, stuff like that.

alternatively wait for them to show up (after figuring out the defense capabilities) and skip reinforcement altogether.
like this


result of them trying to outrun the guns by placing multiple depots.

also results in fun salt.

but its a bit sad actually, because we were planning on starting to gank them, since she told us to step the game up :wink:

the bug , as per ccp , was that HUGE alpha strike could bypass the RF timer and instantly blow up an anchored depot .
i tried this on sisi , apparently a blaster moros at optimal isn’t enough . not sure how ccp tested this , just sure that they did in fact replace billions in harvy drones to any null-sec dweller that petitioned . including at least one that had only a single stealth bomber on the km , which isn’t close to alpha-ing a depot .
and ofc the bug is now fixed . :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

yeah thats no bug, she was just re-deploying a depot that was without shields, essentially stopping the reenforcement and putting it back out, with the shields below 25% … mean i can take it out immediately. i guess the accsation came more from the fact that i did it right in front of her LoL

and yes the Bomber needs 3 shots to do it, no alpha-killing of depots in Highsec :wink:
