Piracy and hatch breakers - Where did it end up in the end with 2.2?

[NeilF]

So, do we have Hatch Breakers sailing through shields now?

Point defense of any use?

ECM?

Is it (now) possible to get a reasonable amount of cargo out of a big ship?


ps: Did they fix the cargo instancing issue? ie: If the victim leaves, you can't pick up the cargo?

1. Yes
2. eh, sometimes. I've found it useful on ships with low amounts of shields, like the FAS.
3. I think so, I find the bigger ships carrying low temp diamonds drop more than the usual type 6's
4. Thank god, yes.

Go through shields: Yes

Point Defence: Kills Limpets

ECM: Kills all Limpets in range

Cargo: Similar, but you can get to it more easily by going through shields. But more difficult if they have more than one PD & ECM, you need to mask it with missiles.

Cargo Instancing: Fixed

Go through shields: Yes

And have we worked if this an annoyance for PvP piracy? ie: Just hang around Engineers and Hatch Break folks for the lolz?

So finally a reason to use my pack hounds?

I play/stream in open only and haven't had an issue like that.

It's pretty good.

If they make it so cargo becomes immune to crashing damage while carried by a limpet, then it would be GREAT.

As currently, you have to come to a complete stop to allow limpets to drop the cargo off, making the entire thing a ridiculous debacle.

Cargo instancing was reintroduced again though right?
