I asked first so I have dibs on his stuff but he is not giving anything away to anyone. He just wanted to rant and quit for 12 to 24 months.
He’ll be back to quit again.
I never had until this thread either.
I had no idea that could be done, and I don’t know why it can be done because it sounds like it was an unintended consequence that someone accidently found.

It’s incredibly useful both as a friendly feature (extract my fleet from the bubble) or an offensive one (get those logis away so we finally can kill something). You just betray your lack of experience/imagination.
Yeah, you are right about him being back to complain all over again..
But I have the claw hammer, so I get anything nailed down..
I heard booshing but never knew what it meant. I mainly stay in the background helping run the standings agency on discord

I first encountered it during a fleet battle around 2 years ago….I’d never heard of it before that. All of a sudden I was 100km from the fleet. At that distance, I could not just warp back to the fleet. The FC countered it by warping the whole fleet to a pre-arranged bookmark….as clearly he’d known this might happen.
The danger arises when this booshing happens to logi, or when there’s enemy waiting to pick you off. I’ve never lost a ship as a result of it, I think warp bubbles are more dangerous. But it can seriously disrupt a battle.
EVE is full of things one can take years to know about. Like how quickly someone can swap ships using a Bowhead…which I learned to my disadvatage a few weeks back. There’s actually very little written, and almost no videos, on the ‘Bowhead trick’.

Lowsec is not the place for pve unless:
- you belong to the pirate corp that lives in the area and they are willing to hotdrop on you
- you use cheapest ships as possible so cheap that 80% players passing by will not bother (ie. Venture), problem is that you won’t be able to do combat sites with that, perhaps with AB Vexor - when I see that on dscan I don’t bother because I know it will be orbiting 40km the center of the site (but then I hunt solo, no alts, no friends, no cyno, those with that will probably use Arazu and catch you easily and then they blob you like always)
- you are willing to instantly dock anytime someone enters a local (which is annoying af)
I gave up ratting in low after I had to fly between bookmark for 15 minutes till I could safely logout. And the DED5 I was doing was leaked to them so when I logged back few hours later it wasn’t there of course. They are so desperate for a kill that they will hunt you for hour even if you fly a fking Vexor (I used Typhoon). If they wouldn’t blob you everytime or brought a counter it wouldn’t be so unfun, but since they do that there is no better counterplay than “don’t be there” - and with that I mean don’t be in lowsec at all.
“And the DED5 I was doing was leaked to them so when I logged back few hours later it wasn’t there of course.”
You know you can do these in very hard to probe ships so that they actually have to work hard to find you and your escalation? You know probbing will happen, and without countermeasures you’ll be one shot probbed and will have very little time to even see the probes. So why aren’t you doing anything about the threat you know exists?
Tengu I guess? I can fly Proteus but if I have drones out then that is the same as flying t1 battleship. Also hard to scan ship won’t help you if you are doing signature. Because they pre-scan them after DT so you won’t see anything on dscan at all, all you see is Arazu next to you instalocking you with faction scram and then spike in local.
Either way it is annoying and unfun. I rather don’t do that.
Yeah drones are out which makes the Tengu the best by far. 1000dps droneless with decent application to small stuff is really awesome. Meh vs Blood/Sansha thought.
About doing sigs you are right, doing sigs or the fools attempting to run them are a perk of living in and fighting for an area. But then barging in someone’s kitchen and helping yourself to the content of their fridge unsurprisingly brings some amount of reaction…
Excellent , must try this on F1 monkeys

Anyway, I think the game seems complicated because you rage quit every time you encounter the slightest bit of adversity instead of learning a lesson and then going back out and learning another lesson.
There are a couple lessons rolled into one here.
-Booshing exists. Boosh drives take about 5 seconds to spool up and then throws everything* within 6000m to a spot 100km in the direction the boosh ship was facing when it went off.
*Limitations exist
-Solo PvE battleship has poor survivability. Shelve them for now, you’ll be happier.
-Everyone is trying to kill you. Don’t assume you’re safe because you’re near a station.
Also, your pod should have survived.

I know; It should have survived. Only good reason to lose a pod in lowsec is smartbombs. And I guess corruption, too, if you want to be pedantic about it.
This is what we call a credit card warrior, even has a 477M clone.
No wonder he ragequits as never learns.
That Maulus NI from the frigate bay and the pod were killed one emergency warp away (1 million km) from the station by one of the initial attackers, who reshipped into a combat probing ship after they noticed the frigate remain AFK in space that long while the combat timer ticked down.
I bet our Rattlesnake pilot force-closed their EVE client while their Rattlesnake was in the process of being disassembled.
Rage quit?
That’s 500 million ISK thrown away in rage, unnecessarily.

500M though is not much for a credit card warrior, the computer he threw out the window is though.
