Photoning at Stardock

This is one of the MAIN reasons you wanna keep your experience under 1,000 when your commissioned.

Get in your ISS. Buy some armid mines. Place 1 armid mine and 1 fighter in each sector leading to Stardock.

when someone enters a sector that has an armid mine and a fig, they go through this process:

1. They enter the sector.

2. The option "avoid mined sector? (Y/N)" or something along those lines. They will have to choose yes or no. THey'll most likely hit enter which means no.

3. Then, they'll be prompted to pay the toll or kill the fighter.

4. After they pay or kill, they're AGAIN given the avoid mined sector prompt.

5. After that, they either hit Y or N.

6. Then, they have to warp out of the sector.

This takes a few seconds. By the time they're done with the whole process, you've already fired a photon missile.

You can write scripts or have helpers that will automatically photon for you ( Most people have some kind of script or macro to help them get you ). Well, ya don't really need it. If I have lag, I usually just do a simple "cpy" telemate macro. Then, no matter which sector they enter I fire the photon. I don't bother looking to see if "Ohhhhh is this a SD sector?!!?!?!?" and hitting D. It takes too much time. If someone enters a sector, just photon away. If it's not a SD sector, then you don't even have to waste a photon. It just tells ya that it's not an adjasent sector or whatever.

If there is someone at SD who could cause a threat to you, don't warp out to kill the person. They'll either come kill you or photon you. 

Don't think "ohhhhh I just photoned someone!!!" and haul ass over to the sector to kill them before you think about what your doing. They could:

1. Have more alignment than you. If killing them sends your alignment down, Captn Z will come kill you in your moment of victory.

2. Have corbo and you'll BOTH die. ( If you photon someone please capture them ... basically waste a good photon if you don't cap them )

3. They knock your experience up over the 1,000 mark. Don't want that! 

4. Have a corp buddy come kill yer ass.

THINK BEFORE YOU KILL!
