AFK Capital ship camping for free money

Will this work with a Cobra in the same spots?
So you are saying that killing in a war zone is cheating? OMG all 4000 players have been cheating as they may have gone AFK for a moment or two in a combat zone.
Its like crying after you have spilt your own milk. Try pointing out the actual cheats who make 20 million credits in less than 8 hours in a combat zone BEFORE 1.2 was in place. Did anybody get banned, no.
People may not be AFK, they may actually be playing the game the way the game is actually being played. Now Just because you may think they are not playing the game right does not mean you have the right to call them cheats.
I understand why you do not like people playing the game the way it was made, but you must also understand that if you want to make any money you have to go into other modes due to the amount of stupid people who just wish to spoil your game. Calling people cheats is just another way you spoil peoples games.
If you have proof players are cheating, collect their names and report them, just do not come onto the forum and make unfounded accusations.
Yes you are right, but then its not possible anymore to go afk the whole day/night so players actually play. AFK Timer?

Something like this makes it 99% risk free IMO

Not enough shield strength

maybe the cobra can hide between the narrow armour plates, lurking with the guns through the gap.....if fire gets too heavy, just reverse and find cover

~sigh~
no...killing in a war zone is totally fine. only the way you get the kills near a cap ship is broken.....
thats all we say
got it now?!
cannot explain it any simpler
Looked at it, seems pointless TBH.
This works every time. Sit either at the front or back of capital ship, use all pulse lasers and fly around cap ship.
As you fly around turrents hit every ship. You are not AFK and not cheating.
Also with what you posted where is the Exploit? point out where there is NO risk? If a ship can hit you and your shields loose strength that must mean that there is a risk to your ship.
If you Tank and use Turrets please point out the exact cheat which is being used?
Making a ships hard to kill also has its bad points, like reduction of speed and manoeuvrability. They are not cheating by doing this, just using the game as its made.
Cheats use other programs to make money.

how is it BROKEN?
Oh we cannot kill ships near to the capital ship any more just because the capital ship may kill it?
The system isn't broken, just the moaners finding something else to complain about.
Just play the game and stop finding faults with honest game players

Its broken because it generates huge income while being afk, you are right it isn't "zero" risk, but its probably got about as much risk as me boost suiciding on dock (hasn't happened yet, almost certainly won't ever happen) if you had to fly around like you are suggesting then its just cheap but people would be complaining that the cap ships give too much assistance like the police do in RES, it isn't the cheap part thats the problem its cheap + AFK.

Ok so just default every single conflict ever to the federation. Sounds like a great idea.
Great, more PVP advice from Mobius.
I am just saying that you can make it virtually risk free. That conda has triple the shield strength of 7A (and also triple the armor I think?) and you can just leave it sitting there for 1 hour or so, come back, press a button to start the SCB (maybe? I dont think it even needs SCB tbqh), leave again (I should replace 1 HRP with AFMU too...). Speed and manouverability does not matter as this thing is build to just sit inside that capship gap.
Lets call it exploit or something else if cheating is not technically correct.

He said sitting AFK and making credits tho... Sorry I dont get what is happening here. Reread the thread and I'm still confused. If you are actually shooting the ship it doesn't matter that the Cap ship is shooting it to in my mind. I often drag Elite Anacondas into the Authorities that jump in to help me with assassination missions. Nothing wrong with that. But if they are AFK and making money, that's not cool.
There is this thing called turrets? You can set it to fire at will, so it will engage all enemies without you doing anything. Park your ship somewhere safe in the capship (see pic above). Now your turrets will shoot an enemy automatically, the capship finishes them off, you get credits while taking a nap.
Its similar but you need to take it to an extreme, ie the fight always gravitates to right around you, you are shielded from almost all sides by godship 101 (not the prenerf python) it does huge damage to everything around you but the fact your turrets do 1% hull damage gets you the kill on every single target that you can conceivably reach.
Now combine that with the titanic shield strength you can get on a conda with shield boosters +4 pips and chances are you never have to come back if your playing in solo, I've got 3 shield boosters on a B6 python and i've not had any issues staying near full shields and thats actually in combat lol.
Are you 100% sure that they are afk or could they be just tanking?
Be it a cheap way to kill or tanking in a combat zone players have a lot more chance of dying then you have boosting into a dock. Just because you have not done it does not mean it will never happen.
FD always come down on the side of the serial complainers so why not remove all capital ships from the game just to make the moaners happy. Its a game get over it.
your the sort of person thats gonna need a video to prove how stupid this whole thing is and i'm not going to go dirty my hands by taking one, I also can't prove if they are afk or just tanking, I just know you can do it by going AFK - I can't go into their instance and move them around with my ship, as they will be in solo to get their own capital ship/spawns.
You don't need SCBs. The capital ship clears enemy ships faster than they respawn, so you get short periods of no combat, and your shields recharge normally.
I will correct you a little. you actually have 4 times your normal shield. So everybody who adopts your outfitting and goes into a combat zone is a cheat. Hmm nice to think that a possible 4000 players are cheating (in your opinion) just because they may kill around a capital ship.
I have to say, if it was possible to tank it for as long as you are saying then its clear that they are using the games mechanics to play the game . If that means staying in one place and keeping an eye on you ship, power levels, shield, shield boosts and anything which means I could possibly loose my shield and hull I wouldn't call it AKFing.
There is clearly no point anybody objecting to anybody when they call a possible 4000 players cheats just because they do not like them playing in solo or group mode.
Next people will be saying that FDev should delete solo and group.

so you have Zero evidence to back up your claims except for people who seem to openly display the way how they cheat/exploit the game. Shouldn't you be complaining to Fdev about these people who are clearly cheating/exploiting rather than coming on the forum and tainting every player who has taken part in a community event. Calling 4000 players cheats just because you say you have seen a video is unforgivable. Clearly the video maker has a name? If so Report them to Fdev and see when Fdev do about it, they will just move them to solo so they can keep cheating.
Frankly, the current system of assigning kill rights is dumb.
Figure out how the target died (hull or module), pick the pc or npc that did the greatest damage to the hull or module, award them the credit as the MVP for that fight, done.
The capital ship farming is even worse than seeking luxuries farming.
