This is why travel interceptors are getting caught at gates

Back in 2012, i think, there was a guy who managed to catch my -10 pod instaundocking. Reliably. Every single time.

He was the only guy who ever managed to do this and it cost me BattleCruiser V …
… because I forgot to buy yet another new clone. It was many!

Hahaha. :smiley:

Now I finally have an explanation for how it was possible.

To make you understand how significant this was for me: I was -10 in Hek.

When he was in system …
… I didn’t undock …
… because there was NO point in trying.!

He actually stopped when I told him that I’m not undocking because of him.
He deserves tons of kudos in pretty much every respect.

Too bad I forgot his name. lol

Oh btw …

Didn’t you say this is not a thing? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll believe it when i see it. :slight_smile:

This garbage? Here?? Leave it on the fringe reddit where it belongs. He leaves out about a million variables in his ‘research’. If someone feels the need to jump in and out of the same gate 20 times to get a single lock then Merry Christmas! Beyond that it’s just pure uneducated conjecture.

If his theory leads to a method that allows him to reliably reproduce the steps needed to instalock otherwise uncatchable ships, you have to admit the theory sounds plausible. Or at least his method may be worth looking in to.

Believe what? That it is possible to catch instawarp interceptors?

Or that it is possible to manipulate the processing order to increase chance of catching an instawarp interceptor?

I can tell you the first part is true, from personal experience as a victim :yum:. Not so sure about the second part yet, but it sounds plausible at least.

It seems possible to catch anyone… Except me. The second part does sound plausible. Let’s see if people can consistently apply it.

this is why reddit will always be better than the official forums. you can have people actually discuss things and learn new stuff on reddit. but here, it’s just a bunch of whiney children who are scared of reddit like they’re scared of cloaky campers.

I’ve reported the other guy and must ask you not to feed him, because …

… when you respond to him, you’re helping the whiny children and we can’t discuss things.

Thanks! :smiley:

Which begs the question: Why do you spend all your time on the official forum?

I don’t want to turn this into a reddit vs forums discussion, but I’ve found the forums to be better for a linear discussion and reddit better for the memes and nice stories. Both have their upsides and downsides.

If you want to have a normal discussion you’re out of luck in reddit, where the best argument is not to have an argument at all but to just say what everyone else wishes to hear and downvote everything you don’t want to wish to see in your bubble.

The upside of the downvotes and non-linear commenting section is that it’s easier to find the good posts and not see the bad ones. This forum is often full of bad posts in between the good ones, but I prefer to see and skip bad posts over downvote censorship.

Forums > Reddit

Downvote me if you want.

Well usually they have only 1 instalocker, and usually one point or scram, so not sure , but think I did a 3 sec align ceptor with 2 stabs and passive resistances , so if not a whole gang in gate I should have enough stab and tank to survive alpha from instalocker. Dont think non instalocker will be able to lock in time unless than 3 secs… Need more testing.

There’s no real “discussion” to be found here. Just carebears making baseless claims and when asked for proof, sidestepping or even the often used “just do your own research!” admission of defeat.

You’re literally describing the forums here.

Reddit’s people can help you solve problems, but if you walk in there with an entitled tone of a pampered child expecting everyone to kneel and kiss your boots, you’ll be laughed out, and for good reason.

You can look at the very reddit thread and see plenty of discussion taking place about how to manage instalock vs instawarp, as well as discussions on how it might be used/countered, etc. taking place. Because they aren’t being a whiney ■■■■■ about it or making dumb claims. And those that do are very rapidly downvoted because their voices are meaningless garbage.
