Clipper mass-lock vs FDL mass-lock
- Thread starter Coccolino
- Start date
Despite its name, mass lock isn't based on mass, but rather the ships involved. Still I was under the impression that, the ships asp up to type 9, can all mass lock each other. It seems like an over sight that the fdl is immune.
Its not immune. I was heavily mass locked yesterday, i dont know by what ship, cause i was busy with "relocating strategically".
Well, it couldnt be a dropship or annie, i was boosting away for some time before i tried to jump, and both of that ships cant keep up with the FDL. Also, i havent seen the NPC FDL so far, so it wasnt FDL... It was a lot of NPC chasing me, including a wing of Vultures. Do "masslock points" of various ships add?

Where do you find this number 20 and what does it mean?
i would like to know aswell
Its the value of how much it locks you, like for example if you try to escape a python and you are mass locked it says "Masslock factor 18" or something like that, most of us use that as the masslock number - i'll fill some of the ships i know, though I apologise if I get any wrong
Anaconda - 24 (or 22)
Dropship/FDL - 20
Python/Clipper/Asp/T9/T7/Orca - 18
Vulture/T6 - Something
Viper/Cobra/Adder/Hauler - Something
Eagle/Sidewinder - Something
It has nothing to do with mass, neither base or fitted it is a value assigned to a ship hull fairly arbitrarily, like if it had anything to do with mass the T9 would clearly have the highest.
Apologies I don't know the small ships as i didn't really deal with masslock when i flew them and i've never been back!

Oh, I guess I didn't realize it was always constant. Like I thought an Anaconda wouldn't mass lock Dropship as along as an Eagle because the difference wasn't as great.
Heres the values as I know them, reposted from another masslock thread.
Code:
6X - Sidewinder, eagle
8x - Hauler, adder
10X - viper
12X - cobra, orca(1), vulture(2)
14x - T6
18x - asp, T7, clipper, python, T9
20x - FDL, dropship
24x - anaconda
(1) this appears to be a bugged value
(2) Not sure of this one, correct me if i'm wrong
Never pick the closest system because any commander worth their salt would be able to find where you're going before you've even left.
no /8char whatever
