Had an anoying thing happen to me yesterday, finally got a officer after a long long grinding session. After taking down his escort and getting a few shots in he warped off.
Looked in every belt 4 times, every planet, moon, custom office, gate, signature, anomaly. Nothing.
Most info on these types of things are horribly outdated which is enhanced by the fact that only a few idiots like myself belt rat any more.
In honor of this loss spread some light on what went wrong. |

belt spawns occasionally despawn. They occasionally despawn or warp somewhere else while you're shooting them. This sounds like normal behavior (just bad luck), and has been happening for years and years before they changed officer behavior. Fighting is Magic |

This is a bug. I have noticed that after one of the recent patches, many types of spawns will randomly warp off.
CCP Affinity stated this. It's getting fixed in the next update. |

This is about belt rats warping off. I'd like to see where CCP Affinity "stated" that belt rats warping off was a bug. |

That sounds like every single 0.0 fight I've ever seen regardless of alliance with few exceptions. now let's get back on topic. Oh, and algorythm sounds groovy, I think I will start using that as a word.
So a bit different opinions in this thread, not surprised since as I stated most information is so outdated. Petitioned it, mostly for the sake of getting an answer.
edit: slightly off topic but in a game with so many dedicated nerds with too much time on their hands it's really weird to not turn evelopedia into a communal wiki and instead feature articles that was outdated 2006 and even then just copied from some random thread on the forums. |

Most excellent reply.

Um, the Evelopedia is a community wiki. CCP has made a lot of changes to the game recently so the Evelopedia is a little out of date. However, since it is a community wiki, if you have updated info to add, please do it.

I was under the impression that BS rats have always warped off if you kill their escorts first. They might not always actually do it, but there is always a chance that they do. |

If you are belt ratting, carry a point. They don't leave if you keep them pointed. |

After having my second or third group of BS's warp off after clearing the scramming frigs I started to do this and can confirm a disruptor will be plenty to stop them from leaving.

Working as intended. You are not supposed to "take down the escort" and then have easy work with the toughest NPC (officer). The whole point of the challenge is that you need to be able to take him 1st, or if you are gimped, then you need to point him while popping his adds. Officer/named NPC will NEVER warp on you if you attack them 1st.
TLDR: always kill officer/named rats 1st or they are likely to warp off. |

I either solo rat in a BC with a disrupter or in a small gang with a dedicated tackler. Points immediately go to whatever has the highest bounty while the escorts are whittled down. Started implementing this system after a faction BS got away and it hasn't failed us yet. |

Confirming that having a point on your ship and using it on the faction rat will keep him from warping away. |

Last time i tried pointing regular npc's they still warped off.
I did a test ratting session tonight and found that some spawns mwd to 200km from me in belts.
Also did anybody noticed that respawn timer was changed to about 40 minutes now ? It took ages to get new spawns in belts and I tried in 2 different systems over 2 hours time.

There's a bug within belt NPC 'script'.
I've been belting for a while in a destroyer fit with the Warp Scrambler, yet the NPCs warped off while being scrammed.
Few others have reported the same 'incident'.
We have petitioned the 'bug', and CCP has confirmed the bug and have said that they're working on the fix.
Not even a scram will help you if NPC will hit the 'timer' to change the position of belts : ).

Happened to me with a hisec hauler spawn. I had him scrammed for 5 sec, then he disappeared.
To add insult to injury, he reappeared a few seconds later on the other side of the belt about 300km away.
Being trolled by an NPC. For shame... Lighting a cyno to my ladyparts, jump on in! |

They warped even when you had them scrammed? Shock, horror Warp stabs Batman! Bring more point or infinity point. Now you know how a pirate feels when he comes across a noob with warp stabs. Kugutsumen - My signature insures that my post is always read by an ISD or Dev, does yours? |
