heh, this isnt exactly new, order pilots have been using this tactic to get away from massive zergs of nomad and bounty hunter npcs for a long while now =P
' Wrote:Did you test it more than once? Mebbe is just a one time thing?
Ah well, next time I'm being hunted by nomies or whatnot, I'll be sure to try.
I tried it more than once. Yesterday and today. Well, it's pretty easy to verify. If it does not work then back to old thrusting away until 1,5k thing.
If you EK and face them they wont use their thrusters to catch up, so they drop back pretty fast.
It can be used in combat missions too. Thrust away, EK then tap the thruster to drop your speed to about 60. They will close slowly, giving you time to drop mines and blast away at them...
It seems if the NPC's use cruise to catch you, the next day you find a sanction thread entitled "Player Banned: NPC Nomad Patrol Theta 6" and then inside Fellow Hoodlum has posted "We warned you but you didn't listen!"
:P.
Anyway, i found that out aswell:D.
