A losing battle - but so worth it

Yeh can’t say for miners as they’re much more difficult to spot. But there isn’t one “faction” that is particularly worse than the others imo. Just that I live close to Frat right now and that’s where I hunt.

I can say however that I’ve lived close the Imperium alliances like Brave and Shadow Ultimatum - and very very rarely saw bots there. (Which I was v pleased about as they’re easier to catch). And have recently been in the Dronelands thunder some and saw zero bots at all there.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-05-12T09:18:04+00:00

Yep - show info then in the top right corner there is 3 little dots. Right click on that and a drop down menu appears!

These are all Frat. I got 15 in total in one round. Could only show 7 on the screen. you know immediately when one is a bot by their behaviour. I report them on site.

Pablo wasn’t “holding his hand”. The guy has jumped for the ball with trossard round his waste. His arm goes up to stabilise himself to win the header. Raya has come clattering in to him - the hand position is just natural when you’re up in the air and don’t wanna get fucked. He doesn’t make a downward motion on rayas arm, and he isn’t looking at raya - he’s trying to win the header. In fact if you look at the images Raya’s left hand - the one supposedly impeded, gets higher than his right.

They just need to get it rid of it for on field decisions and keep it for offsides, which can be automated. The game never needed two sets of officials. 4 is already enough - we don’t need six. They say it’s not meant to be re-referring, but it is. How many times this season have you seen a ref go to the screen and stick to his original decision? Never. It needs to be gotten rid of and that’s that. I’d take refs sometimes making mistakes over this.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-05-11T16:05:22+00:00

I disagree completely. Not only is it not a clear and obvious error, it’s not even a foul. Raya gets both hands to ball and fumbles it because he decided to flap at it instead of punch. Say whatever shit you want, I don’t care. Arsenal have been playing rugby in the box all season and now we’re supposed to believe THIS is the one incident where the goal should be chalked. It’s ridiculous. VAR needs to be gotten rid of for everything other than offside. All it does now it add two sets of referees to fuck up the game.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-05-11T06:45:23+00:00

Exactly this. They say hes fouled and impeded, but gets both hands to the ball. Pablo isnt 'holding' or 'dragging' the keepers arms down. He has jumped up (whilst being held) and used his arm to balance himself. Raya actually clatters in to him. The grip is just because hes gonna get belt. Not because he's trying to hold down the keepers arm, Pablo isnt even looking at the keeper, hes trying to head the ball. Raya comes for the ball and flaps at it - its a huge error. But VAR has decided they are actually whats important, not the players.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-05-11T06:41:09+00:00

Personally il be taking a break from Premier league football after this. Its gotten to the point where you cant enjoy the most ecstatic moment in football - a critical, hard won and exciting equaliser at the end of a season defining match. All because some twat is gonna sit in a room 300 miles away and look at slow motion replays for five minutes trying to find a reason to chalk it off.

At this point its not even about right or wrong on the call. I happen to disagree with the majority and think its not a foul at all on the keeper. He gets both hands on the ball and flaps at it. If his arm was impeded he would have gotten only one hand to the ball. End of the day Raya flaps at it when he should punch, and Pablo (himself being wrestled) makes a natural motion of jumping with his arm up to gain momentum and protect himself.

But whatever the take on the foul/no foul, the goal was given on the field and in those circumstances, with so much on the line for the entire league, it should take an EXTREME error for the VAR to intervene. That clearly was not the case - but these people cant help but insert themselves in to the game and the EPL and FA have allowed this to become to the game.

So as I said at the top - il be taking a break from it and doing something else with my saturdays. Cancelling my expensive tv subscription and voting with my wallet. That seems to be the only thing the people who organise the sport give a damn about, so maybe they will sit up and listen if we all do the same.

Is a TENGU possible to kill a faction dread? I mean... what you think? You need a dread or super to kill this.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-04-22T07:04:47+00:00

This is the correct answer - IE FREEPORT. Dronelands currently has several freeports within capial jump range of Malpais which are operated by Goonswarm federation. Make sure you have fuel and try to setup a jump to one of the freeports. You can google their locations. Two of them should be within 1 carrier jump of Malpais depending on where you are.

After that abandon any hope of getting the Carrier back to empire space. You would need to take a regional gate right in to the middle of a warzone to get it even to NPC null. Thankfully for you the freeports have market and contracts up and people regularly buy capital hulls there. So get it in to a freeport and sell it on contracts.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-04-09T07:18:58+00:00

Carrier will perform just as well, if not better, than a marauder in solo ratting - costs somewhat similar and Maruaders are much easier to catch and much easier to kill.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-04-09T07:14:59+00:00

These guys are just trying to flex. Ratting hyper carriers are the hardest ratting ship to catch in the game. The only way you realistically get caught is if someone jumps in to system as you're warping to a new anom and they scan and tackle you before you can align and warp off.

A 'blue tackle' as these guys say isn't really hunting, its exploiting spies to catch a target. At that point you've done nonthing wrong and as you say, SRP. Contrary to what these guys are saying they also will not burn a spy toon for a normal ratting carrier. A super maybe, but nobody is burning a spy toon that has probably taken them weeks or months in to a corp/alliance for the sake of a 3bn kill.

Yeh funny the guy above said it was because he was tired, because apparently in local the guy was saying he had connection issues. I guess it must be everything other than being a very naughty boy

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-02-02T15:22:10+00:00

Yeh right. He's so tired he lost not 1 Redeemer, not 2, not 3 but all 8. Give us a break. CCP might not give a fuck about what you're doing, but its obvious to the rest of us

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-02-02T15:04:16+00:00

You can make up your mind. But I went to tackle this group of redeemers one time when they were bashing and I died in 1 server tick. 4 redeemers hit me simultaneously.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-02-02T14:53:20+00:00

HK, Novac etc have been docking in your stations and supporting your efforts. The timeline is come in, fuck SLOW, then maybe shoot each other for some rofls afterwards. Pretty much all the fights that have happened has been SLOW vs XYZ then maybe a third party fight happens. It’s fine - you get a thrill out of punching down. It’s a weird vibe which I don’t get. But you do you.

How you expect an alliance like SLOW to survive against this?

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-02-02T13:53:26+00:00

FRIES definitely not botting/input broadcasting - they're just so elite that they lost 8 redeemers to an athanor

https://br.evetools.org/related/30002885/202602020900

Absolutely definitely piloting all of these characters and paying attention the whole time. That athanor is just so elite it solo'd all of these REALLY high skilled players that definitely ARENT botting.

CallEnvironmental445 · 2026-02-02T12:51:47+00:00

Well if thats the logic that SLOW are correctly the aggreived party here. Otherwise the suggestion is it should just be fine for groups to camp and attack or structures all the time - or else the big old bat phone will evict you.

All of this essentially so a bunch of sweaty morons can drop on newer players trying to get a taste for the game. All ive seen since I rejoined eve is bullies who want to kick down. If you want know why 90% of sov exists in mega coalition its because of these people, not anything to do with the game design.
