Edited by: diesel420 on 07/01/2009 18:18:29 Was in a .3 system by myself(7 people in local) the other night.. Was cloaking and uncloaking and firing missles and destroying small frigs at 135 clicks out in a belt.
The 7 man corp hid and took me a minute to find them on a moon at a POS So i warped in to moon at 100km using the scanner.
A believe the POS showed in the overview at 200km (Maybe was a little further) I didnt think of anything bad was going to happen so I tuned away for a sec and light up a cig.. When I glanced back the pos turrets were chewing up my ship.. My low slots didnt have a damage control because I had 2 overdrives and 2 BCS in there. I was like WTF? Fired up the MWD and was thinking ill be out of range in less than 10 secs
Got to my hull in a heartbeat and couldnt warp out..
Questions 1.How long does it take for the turrets ( not missles)to lock on to me? 2. What are the effective ranges of POS turrets? Was this POS very good? 3. Did i miss read my actual distance from the POS?
I figured I could have sat at range and lured the tasty unskilled BC pilot to come out and play but instead got laughed at with my bonehead move

depends on gunner or no gunner.
but at 200km you shoulda been able to warp out.
RUle of thumb: Dont sit at an enemy POS alone, ever, for any amount of time, regardless fo distance.

I realize the game mechanice allow you to warp in see the pos.The pos takes a bit to lock on to ya then starts to fire.. I knew I could get away with no problem just was like omfgwtf Guess it happened "quicker" than I expected
Question...Can you get inside the gun range? |

no you cant get inside gun range, but scramble range is only 75km. disruptor range is 150km |

Also "Fired up the MWD..." and made yourself ~5 times the size you were previously. POS turrets use a size up ammo (large turrets use XL ammo) so that move probably hurt you quite badly too |

hmm, im not the one normally to be pesimistic and annoying, buuuut, after you uncloak, it takes 30 seconds to even begin locking, so there is a hole in your story, or
you were shooting noobs
or you were ratting and i misread your post

Sounds like an ISK buyers deathstar, I would petition it due to them being able to kill you while you were still on grid of their guns.

hole in story? I warped in.... uncloaked.. Was trying to lure out a ship.. Like i said i looked away from screen for a bit and lit up a cig.. I didnt think the POS could or would hit me.. In prior posts I was told that some turrets can hit at over 300km
Hint: the pos is owned by BlackWater and is in Raa a .3 system |

Im not claiming a game mechanic fault...Im not even complaining though I do want to know the details/rules/mechanics of a POS like this one. Note: I was unable to see exactly the turrets that were causing me the trouble.. Note:2 I know I could have gotten away by warping out. I was just in awe of what was happening |

Edited by: jaybob34 on 11/01/2009 03:56:13 Ive seen manned pos guns (large faction on lge faction tower) shoot 600km plus and take people out at our load point , during a jammer take down.
We petitioned it thinking it just couldn't be right , and ccp said there is no problem and therefore nothing to petition. (or something like that)
We didnt get our ships back and were basicly ignored by ccp. But then whats new.
The disruption battery has 150 km range and no falloff (even faction) so if u were outside that u should of been able to warp.

the large beam laser I'm looking at now has an activation range of 300km, optimal of 375+ fall off of 100. Probably can go easily much farther with long range ammo.

was referring to the bolded part
hence you were either shooting noobs who didnt warp themselves out because they thought you were to far away
or ratting, as rats dont run
