Whoho

THEY LIED!!!

Highsec is not safe. Not at all. As someone suggested to me on my last post I went to do some exploration on my Jita trader's Heron.

My future main is training Caldari Frigate 5 for Buzzard and has no other skills yet. I remap her after it's done as all scanning and PI skills are Int based.

So I found some wormholes. But inside nothing interesting. The owners picked them clean besides ore sites.

But in highsec I found some relic and data sites. The relic sites gave 0.1M loot. The data site gave 4.2M on its first container. When I went for the second, those nasty guristas appeared. I figured I keep hacking until my shields are low, like in the newbie missions. Instead, they oneshotted me.

Nasty Guristas, you'll pay for this! One day I come back and hack in something much bigger. I googled ships that are good at hacking. Tengu - Covert Reconfiguration came up. Revenge is coming Guristas! (in 2027, because that ship needs some training)

PS: I had the last laugh. I docked my pod and got a free corvett. Warped back to the site and the Guristas were gone and in the Heron wreck they left some modules and the 4.4M loot that I took from the first container. That will pay for replacement Herons.

I've won and lost the game off and on since 2008. Mostly just stick to myself. I've flown nearly every sub-cap there is and I'd like to maybe try and purchase a carrier but it seems somewhat pointless without the support of a decent corp. What are your thoughts?

Good afternoon everyone,

My name is Ceema, and I'm the host of This EVE Life, a Twitch/Podcast show attempting go highlight the vastness of the EVE Player base.

One of my upcoming show arcs is on The Nullsec Experience, and I was trying to book the player known as Fountain Frank, he was some goofball that dressed up on a Twitch Show and spouted off nonsense every other week.

I've asked several folks in The Imperium but they all claim he's not real.

Did I really Bearenstein Affect myself, or was Fountain Frank really a player that existed.

I feel he's got a story to tell but jesus he's hard to find.

Can anyone help me? It's much appreciated.

So I play very casual, high sec, mining sec missions distribution missions Ive never done pvp

As someone who uses drones plays casually? Is this worth installing or should i just skip

Hey fellow capsuleers - I love EVE, but I don't like to multi-account or even run alts. I've never liked doing that in any game and I'm not going to start now—and I'm having a blast regardless with just my single character!

Mainly, I make my ISK through exploration and ninja gas huffing in wormholes/nullsec, combined with maxed-out Planetary Industry skills (running 24-hour extraction cycles). I use my PI planets to refine materials like Construction Blocks for T2 manufacturing, which gives me a solid daily passive stream on top of my active exploration runs.

I'm just wondering if other solo-character pilots can share their experiences, tips, and tricks to maximize earnings. If you're in the same situation, how do you make your ISK?

Change my mind.

My buddy and I are starting to get into abyss. We can do T0-T1 with coraxes pretty easily, even without a shield booster (all extendeds).

We can easily get into jackdaws too.

But I read these aren't even efficient and that it's better if we just get 3 hawks.

Why?

Can't we easily cruise a T3 and this is enough, jackdaws aren't that expensive compared to the 3 hawks. We're both mulling on training a third alt just to complete this, we both already run alts anyway... But two of us duo in abyss is chill so far, even if it's practice session, I've yet to see how bad it is isk per hour.

Is this why dessies aren't explored much in abyss??

HAW Dreads are meant to be dealing with subcapital ships, and after analyzing over a dozen of Bombeldo’s (and other HAW Dread enjoyers) videos on YT (a “drifting MWD” Dread was just posted on the official news feed a week or so ago) all I am seeing is the reload times being a huge bottle neck in dealing the DMG.

You read that right! It’s not the tracking or the application or the range/faloff. It’s the damn timer of watching the HAW weapons being reloaded over and over.

Possible solutions(?):

1. Give a role bonus to Dreads (or specific flavor of dreads, like Navy only?) for a HAW-only reload bonus. Like 50%
2. Give a skill bonus (per level of Dread skill) of like 10% (total 50% at lvl 5) to HAW weapons only.
3. Simply reduce the reload time on the module itself (i.e. set reload time on a Rapid Torpedo Launcher & other HAW weapons to 1/2 of what it currently is) 20 sec from 40 sec base, for an example.
4. Add another skillbook (FCCP would love this) that affects HAW weapons only and reduces the reload speed. 50% at lvl 5
5. Yes I know Sarathiel already gets a reload bonus, but it’s bonus still “carries weight” as it applies to non-HAW weapons & the bonus is 75% (which is huge), they could make it stack with the bonuses I am proposing with diminishing returns if so they wish. Would be a nice buff to an otherwise unutilized ship?

+++++++++

Thoughts? (Disclaimer: all numbers are just an example, the DEVs can obviously figure out what is “fair” and apply that).

EDIT: I stand corrected. All HAW weapons but the Rapid Torps have a short reload timer actually. The PNI gets a skill bonus to reloads for Torps.

I should have checked the module bonuses more carefully before posting.

I guess I could just delete this post, but I’ll let it be. To be fair.

So, BIGAB decided our little group ( The Sanguine Covenant) was apparently important enough to bring capitals over and reinforce our content astra in Avenod (Dax’s femboy sex dungeon). We’re a tiny alliance and instead of bringing something fun for a good fight, they drop caps on it knowing we cannot contest their cap fleet. They could have brought talos, orcales, bombers, etc and we all could have traded and all had fun, it is a content citadel after all. Dropping the multiple Zirns on a small and newer alliance isn’t for the sake for content, its just to be a dick. Their reasoning, because we tethered on it earlier when skirmishing with them in caracals early? Wonder why they don't have content. (PS this is the 2nd time they have done this.)

They have plenty of targets around closer to their own weight if they actually wanted content. DRL/FRT, Shadow Cartel, and even Snuff all have structures within a few jumps of their staging system. Instead, the Big Weak Chicken chose us, our little alliance of small gang pvp’ers. Fair enough, this is EVE aka space bully simulator. The Sex Dungeon will die and Dax will have to move his femboys else where. Big sadge!

Since BIGMAD wants to turn our little Astrahaus into content, we figured we should help them out. So we're issuing an open invitation to everyone!

Come to the timer.

Bring a ship.

Bring a fleet.

Bring something stupid.

Bring something you absolutely should not be flying.

Shoot BIGAB.

Whore on our astra (I will be).

Whore on everything.

We really don't care, this was for the content but we want real content and real fun, not some bully just throwing around his cap fleet on a small alliance.

There are only three objectives:

1. If the Astrahaus dies, it deserves to die in the biggest, dumbest, most glorious fireball possible.

We don't want a quiet structure bash while a capital fleet shoots an uncontested Astra. If Femboy Sex dungeon is going down, let's give it a proper funeral.

2. Help us remind BIGAB that punching dramatically below your weight can occasionally have consequences.

We're not pretending we're capable of matching BIGAB's numbers or capital fleet. If one of lowsec's biggest groups wants to bully a tiny alliance thats only a few months old, for some easy structure kills, the rest of eve deserves an invitation to come enjoy the show and get on the kill mail as well.

3. HAVE FUN.

This is the most important one. We don't care about politics. We are here for the LOLZ and FUN to keep this game going and people logging in. We don't care if you're blue, red, neutral, pirate, wormholer, nullbear, highsec miner, F1 monkey, bittervet, or some dude who installed EVE three days ago and has absolutely no idea what an Astrahaus is.

Come make bad decisions with us.

We aren't asking anyone to save our Astrahaus. We're asking eve to make sure that whatever happens to it is memorable.

Timer: 08/20 @ 0200 eve time
System: Avenod
Structure: Dax's femboy SEX dungeon
Bring: Literally whatever you want.

BIGAB wanted a structure bash.
Let's give them a community event.
