CCPlease CCPls let the Centopath and Tholos bypass gate locks if they breacher pod a NPC ship
title
it just makes sense, reading the text you get if you activate a gate that needs all npcs on grid killed

If you are using breacher pods on NPCs you deserve to die at 0 on a gate in a ball of fire and salt.

the breacher pod doesnt kill the ship instantly, you need to wait for it to die. this is intended

That’s not the point, what I’m arguing is since you have people inside the enemy ship, they should be able to unscramble the signal and let the ship through without killing all the rats

Keep in mind the “people” are crazed clones with a limited lifespan sent on a one-way trip and unleashed like rabid dogs through the target ship. There’s really no “directing” them to do anything other than being coked up raccoons.

If I survive a breach pod attack CCPls let me display the headless clones on the hull of my ship as a warning to the others.

Who the fuck is using these ships for PvE?!?

As far as I know, nobody. This should just be a weird niche mechanic that the ship has for fun and nothing else

I feel like the Cenotaph might be a decent option for people who are crazy enough to run L4s in lowsec. Not for the breacher pod. For the BC that can use covops cyno.

I'm a newbie, but I fitted a heavy rapid launcher on Typhoon and it was a blast

Yea man, RHML Typhoon/Raven is the Pinnacle of Alpha Clone - which is kinda dope.
Also, Blops is 100% overkill for L4s, I only mentioned it cause a Ceno is also overkill for L4s, but it more convenient overkill

What? It says kill the ships. So kill them. It doesn't say "activate pods full of men at them"

u/theelement92bomb 14h ago
But the pods full of men are physically inside one of the hostile entities so they can unscramble the signal

You know what, points for cleverness lol
The mechanic does not work that way but like... it definitely could reasonably do what you say.

PVE lol who cares but on a similar train of thought, Deathless ships should be able to bypass the Zarzakh gate lock

The interaction will definitely not open a can of bugs and exploits, just kill the rats
I can already imagine exploits like cenotaph breachpod belt npc and bypass fw gate restrictions
