The ESS is a deployable (fairly cheap, anyone ratting can afford one) that sucks up 20% of all bounties from ratting and then pays 20-25% back when someone goes to it and hits button (it also gives you faction LP as you rat, so it's pretty awesome). The downside is that hostiles can fly up and hit another button that takes the whole pot, which can be very lucrative if you go in hard and fast with an interceptor gang. That, combined with the single-digit 'days since we lost a carrier' Theta counter means that Dek has been flooded with hostiles for the last few weeks.

Now that you have said that, sanitize your post, just delete it, and then do not post in this thread for 3+ months from the date you posted that. If you're a spy digi will eat you alive, and if you're not a spy, you just are a terrible person who cannot read, and browsing the forums and learning how to post and posting a lot will help you a lot when 3+ months from now rolls around. Just banish the thought of Goonfleetwaffeswarm from your head for the next 3 months.

I'll make a caveat to the rule that if they are dumb enough to drop one of the "benchmarks" in their lovely intro posts like "looking forward to joining in 3 months or once i get 100 posts". You are authorized to scam the gently caress out of them. But if they are just saying hi or are being all newbie-ish leave em alone.

Besides the default formations for exploration probing for relic sites, does anyone have any recommendations for some good customs ones to save? I was thinking about saving a formation of 4 probes with an overlapping center, and a couple that involve different planes.

I think the default formation is literally the optimal one and there isn't any point trying any others. Current ESS prices: between 25-30 million. So not so expensive that an individual can't just get one and drop it in their ratting system, a bit too expensive for that same individual to have to replace it every day.

Some of the FCs actually fight to get to do frigate sized fleets. Domifleets are boring for everyone including the FC, and plenty of us would rather be doing the fast paced guaranteed fun frigate sized fleet instead. Unfortunately, as last night showed, competent subcapital FCs are at a premium in most of the coalition, so the guys that can walk and chew gum at the same time all get to do serious bidness stuff.

Lowkin posted:How much faster is skill training with the booster? Can you get it on an account that is past 14 days? It's 14 days, so +9 top all attributes. And you can stack them with implants, which Goonswarm gives out free +2s (But if you're  enough you'll be taking enough ISK showers to buy +2s or +3s yourself anywayh). Uh... I've never really quantified "how much faster" it is... but I can say it's "REALLY REALLY FAST". Just trust me when I say that you'll definitely miss them once your character hits 14 days old and you can't use them anymore (Which is a "no" to using them past an account 14 days old).

Alchenar posted:I think the default formation is literally the optimal one and there isn't any point trying any others. It took me awhile to figure out that that custom formations also save the relative positioning and probe strength so that you can set to optimal overlap and range and then save formations for each iteration of tracking down a signature. The pinpoint formation default is in fact the optimal formation (for pinning down a site/ship), so use that as an example when making your iterations of custom formations. For the record you guys have it loving easy with probe scanning these days  . Ease of scanning down ships has really made range flexibility or mobility ~kind of a big deal~ for fleetcomps because of how much easier it is to pin down a fleet with probes.

Unless we become a samurai coalition he can't forbid recruitment scamming, and unless he becomes a mod he can't stop you from doing whatever on SA. That said, it does kind of poo poo up the thread after a while, but no more or less than the usual dozen posts that follow up any other J4G that range from "You aren't getting in" or someone using a several years old J4G joke that they think is still funny (but isn't). I'm at the point now where I wish we could set up a J4G pubcorp and just be done with it so I never have to hear about it again.

Then you won't have to alt-drag to reduce the relative positioning whenever you increase scan strength. In a combat probing situation every second counts. I'm assuming you're only doing exploration right now, but if you get good at it and ever FC a fleet, good combat probers are worth their weight in gold. See: that interceptor fight in O-W. There is nothing quite like ruining the enemy FC's day by catching him unawares with an excellent warpin.

edit: Beach Bum gave a better answer with regards to combat probing, which I know nothing about  Virigoth posted:So basically I need to take the pinpoint formation and reduce it, and save each iteration of the reduction in the customs? You don't really need to save them, at least in my (very limited) experience. If you use the pinpoint formation and reduce the size by dragging the blue spheres in your system map, all of them will move closer together automatically, so the formation itself remains untouched. That way you get the same overlap and general density, just with a much finer resolution. Once you finish scanning down one signature, simply pull the blue spheres up again to a bigger size for the next signature and scan, they will remain in pinpoint. That said, what is the other formation good for? I get the feeling most of the time one can just start with the pinpoint formation, since you get a very rough indicator of where the signatures are situated within the solar system even before starting to scan them. Is the other preset perhaps more useful for something like combat probing, which I haven't tried yet and therefore have no experience with?

You don't HAVE to save them, but it takes longer to drag your probes in to optimal overlap than it does to click a dropdown. Once you have those formations perfected it reduces your adjustment times and you can spend less overall time trying to pin someone down. The other formation is for plopping the center probe on the sun and getting a system-wide scan of all signatures. When I'm combat probing I use DSCAN to locate the celestial the enemy is on, then drop a 1.0AU pinpoint on them to get a warpin on something cruiser sized (my combat prober is all IV's with V in Astrometrics, which is nice because I'm usually scanning from an unbonused recon).

I already edited my post above indicate that your answer is more knowledgeable!  What do you think is a good amount of overlapping probes? I've seen some guides mentioning war probing with fewer than 8 probes, i.e. with 4 or 6. Is there something to it? Is the default pinpoint not tight enough? I'll have to try to fit an extended probe launcher to an Imicus and just go try combat probing in a random system, to see how it works.

Hollow Talk posted:Thanks for the answer, that makes sense. I already edited my post above indicate that your answer is more knowledgeable! Don't pay any attention to anything working with less than 8 probes, as that is outdated data since the most recent probing patch. Look at the default pinpoint formation and use that as an overlap template for your smaller iterations. A good training exercise would be to go to a ratting system and probe down Ishtars. Do let the ratters know what you're doing and that you're a newbee so that they don't freak out and think you're awoxing if they notice probes on DSCAN, and don't do it with a dirty local (they shouldn't be ratting with a dirty local anyway but whatevs) EDIT: I wonder if those formations are serverside or clientside... Can someone check? I'm almost positive they're serverside, otherwise someone more clever than I (GARPA) would have released something you could send to all of EVE.
