if you want real fun next patch, have someone in gang/corp start mining and you hide in a stealth bomber. When an ore thief takes your ore he's free for you to shoot cruise missiles up his ass

Another fun thing to do is insta undocks. When the system is safe, get an interceptor or fast frig (slasher, condor, exec, atron) and MWD 1000 km straight out of the docking bay. I'd recommend something with more than 1 midslot so you can fit cap batteries. Anyways, bookmark once the station goes off grid and you have a good anti-station camp tool.

Does not work with the Gallente stations where you undock straight down. They forgot to update the collision mesh when they made them bigger and you bounce around like crazy when you undock.

AFIAK, no Gallente station actually does that. Amarr ones do, though.

EDIT: Dammit, why'd they have to move Tranq's reactivation back? :/

Misconception, let me clarify:


For Lib's question, the gates dont actually prohibit me from entering Highsec, meerly it means that if i go into a system i am banned from, the local navy (not concord, and not the guns, and not the customs/others that float around the gates) will hunt me down constantly. If you safespot, they will still warp to you. If you enter a complex, they will still warp to you. Eventually you can go to a POS in highsec, and they will still warp to you and the shield will not help you (but it WILL protect my pod from a triggerhappy person). They only destroy your ship, so if its just a shuttle, theres is no loss, and often times you can just fl through to the gate by the time they warp in (as long as they arent already there).

The reason i was up through renyn and luminaire was to trade 15 GSC's to Yoko that I had aquired from my dirt cheap buy order. And seeing how you can't escrow cans, shuttling was the only way.


For ngt's comment, no, the gauns at stations/gates/billboards fire as soon as you are out of warp. This includes the usual lag as soon as you leave warp. Unless you can tank or instadock, you're toast (and to tank you have to deal with approx 400-800 gamage per cycle of about 2 seconds.


The only special difference to system banning is when you have a -3.0 (iirc) standing with a race, and you get banned from that sovrengties 1.0's... Thats when the local navy fires on you and not the warping-navy. Concord only ever shows up when you aggress someone in 0.5+...

The President station in Ladistier does. Its the one thats typically Senate or President.

Theres a bunch in villore that do it too. Its truly horrible.
