I will freeze until I get the black hat medal, and then pvp till my hearts content... which is fun to me. Let me say that I have personally witnessed TheBlackPearl easily take down ships twice his rank. Can any auto ranker say that?  Low Rank vs High Rank over twice his size. Artifact spam= dead hull.

I'm currently in a rank freeze. From around when I started to just before my freeze, I put a majority/all of my rank points into deck. Before I froze, I had under 150 TOs. I currently have over 400 now, and I am hoping to get well over 500 before I start ranking again.

He started spamming like a dozen of each debuff onto the higher ranks that hit him and kept posting on his own comm about how he was winning in number of disables between our legion and him (which isn't tough when he can come on, spam debuffs on 4 of our members and disable them, then get disabled once). Our higher ranks got one or two of his good planets though, and another one or two bad crit hacks. Interesting to see that you get that massive an XP bonus for disabling a higher rank though. If he did it with fewer artifacts, it could even be an extremely energy efficient method of ranking (to get players much higher ranked than yourself to hit you, then artifact spam and disable them back for a good xp:hit ratio and huge XP bonus).

The names were left out so that there wouldn't be side track flaming; but instead the focus would be on the interesting disable bonus.

Without a doubt, I knew about the disable bonuses, but I didn't know they could get that large.

Or rather I should say, the largest that was reported on facebook page and comm chatter.
