I spent the better part of 2 hours today trying to scoop some abandonded drones from outside a station. Now i admit i did not own the drones, i was not part of the corp or alliance that owned them, But come on, TWO HOURS of trying to scoop a drone and constatnly getting this message.
notifyYou can only scoop Combat Drone that you do not own when they have been incapacitated, this one is not.
How are you meant to incapacitate a drone without getting CONCORDOKENED??? because sure enough, you shoot at them and your in a pod five seconds later.. there must be a safe way to incapacitate a drone so you can salvage it??? --------------------- Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried to slam a revolving door.

Maybe they have not been abandoned for long enough? O the pilot is still on the same grid?

Edited by: Derron Bel on 18/10/2005 07:53:21 It shouldn't last that long.
Maybe the owned pilot was docked at the station? -==- Holy-Jim> as you know, surprise is the key to victory.....surprise! LooseCannoN> ahh! LooseCannoN> my plans have been foiled! |

i was there for 2 hours.. drones left unattened by thier owner for that long regardless of if they are in the same grid or not should be scoopable by anyone. Come on Dev's give us a hint as to what we can do, people complain about the number of cans in space, what about the number of abandoned drones that are unscoopable in this way that must be lying about the galaxy? --------------------- Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried to slam a revolving door.

When you use drones, they hit a state sometimes called 'incapacitated' (shows up in their status where fighting, returning to ship etc normally would).
I've only usually seen this happen when they get down to about half their hull points, but I have had an Ogre launch fresh and new and be incapped, just last night. I reckon that one was a bug. _______________________________

They also become Incapacitated if you cloak after launching. Kinda puts a stop to my Sneakynix idea of launching heavy drones at intended target, jamming it, then cloaking while the drones attack

Edited by: Jorak Falconstar on 18/10/2005 12:48:31 Problem is i wasnt able to scoop the drones because i kept getting that daft message about needing to incapacitate them..
problem is if you shoot the drones (which seems to be the only way to incapacitate them if they arent yours), guess what happens.
yup, CONCORDOKEN!
oh, and just for interest i tried to incapacitate a drone that belonged to a corpmate by shooting it.. i got it down to its structure and guess what. i got that daft message again when i tried to scoop it.
what i'm trying to find out is can i incapacitate a drone is some way that wont upset CONCORD and if so how do i do this?? --------------------- Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried to slam a revolving door.

Nope, you can't. Only way is to shoot the drones, or make whoever launched them explode or leave grid. All of those will obviously upset CONCORD in 05.+ __________________________ Ketchup! Everywhere! Suckers! |
