CCP Fozzie wrote:Another of the many mechanics that we're looking at for Phoebe is the so-called "hobojamming" mechanic. This is the mechanic where an interdictor pilot can undock from a station, drop a bubble to block capital ships from leaving the station, and then immediately redock before being locked.
In general we like to have lots of good methods for disrupting larger groups, but this "undock-bubble-dock-repeat" mechanic doesn't provide enough risk to the dictor pilot to be properly balanced.
So after Phoebe if a player in an Interdictor ship docks at a station that shares a grid with some of his or her Warp Disrupt Probes, those probes owned by the docking pilot will be automatically destroyed.
We believe that this change provides us the best solution to keeping the station-camping gameplay balanced while avoiding breaking other aspects of interdictor gameplay.
Big thanks to all the players who have engaged in the robust and lively discussion around this issue of the past several months, reading these discussions greatly helped us zero in on the best change.
Not sure who crawled up CCP's ass and decided to screw with the Goons but well done Fozzie, that is probably one of the most idiotic waste of time CCP have made this year. So much broken with the game and you decide to waste code on hobo jamming. How soon before you leave for Riot? |

It must be a good change to extract so much rage from a CFC posting alt.
I am actually very pleased with the changes so far, 3 cyno alt accounts and now 2 hobo jammer accounts unsubbed. And there I was wondering where I would get the money to buy Elite!!! Thank you CCP for making it easy for me :D
Also, Brack Lesion, why u no undock? |

Yes, yes indeed we now see the truth of these changes. |

Fixed for PASTA actual MO. Also your tears on bomber changes are sweet, almost makes up for losing hobojamming. PASTA .. the 30 man alliance multiboxing days are over. |
