Two other guys and myself then petitioned and then got a response that the ISDs would be instructed to leave the posts that either summarized or editorialized the things Fon had said in interviews or posted himself in support of his CSM campaign. In my defense half my posts were deleted for being making GBS threads, but the other half were pointing out why he was a horrible shitlord and why he couldn't be CSM.

He doesn't even have tackle fitted.  That aside, are there any Amarr Frigates worth flying apart from the Malediction? I see Purifiers used every now and then as well, but are there any other decent ships? I'm currently training Gallente Frigates 5, and I have Caldari Frigates 3 → 5 as well as Minmatar Frigates 0 → 5 planned. Is there any reason to train Amarr alongside them, or is that kind of superfluous given that I will ultimately be able to fly Crows/Tanarises, as well as Hounds/Nemeses/Manticores?

Honestly, with that much invested in frigates I'd make sure your support skills are pumped. Adding Amarr to the mix won't do a whole ton for you that can't be covered by what you've got in the pipe, whereas support skills will improve everything.

At the moment I would say Gallente is the worst of the 4, mainly because of its lackluster offerings with regards to the nemesis. The current frigate skill of choice would be caldari, as it provides the top of the line fleet interceptor, as well as an okay stealth bomber if you love midslots (and who doesn't?) After that I suppose it is a tie between Minmatar and Amarr, as both provide the best stealth bombers available. Honestly, at only eight days a piece, its hard to go wrong with any of the choices.

Thank you all for your answers! For what it's worth, the Frigates are far from the only thing in the queue. I recently finished CPU Management 5 and Power Grid Management 5, I have Capacitor Management 4, Evasive Maneuvering 4, Navigation 4 and lots of other things at 3. My longer-term plan is to be able to fly pretty much all Frigate variants, i.e. Bombers, Interceptors, EAS's, Assault Frigates, CovOps. The more immediate goal are CovOps and Bombers, as well as Missiles, followed directly by Weapon Upgrades 5 & AWU 1 → 4, rounding out my drone skills with Drone Interfacing 4 and Combat/Scout Drone Operations 5, then train Cap Managment 5, Repair Systems 5, Mechanics 5, and train up the shield skills to 4-ish, then queue the other T2 frigates and their prerequisites. My (perhaps flawed?) reasoning is that I can, in about 3½ months, hop into any frigate and see what I like most. I'll then go and use that experience to specialise further and train towards the respective T2 cruisers or bigger ships as necessary, though most of my basics will already be covered and I will only have to "round out" the relevant ones, depending on what I fancy most (like Shields 5 or EWAR 5, etc.). You might be able to call it a "jack-of-all-trades"-approach, but since I don't have enough experience yet, I would like to give everything a fair chance.

I am considering sticking to this game (currently on my first week) but I am a bit unclear on how one makes isk without doing any of the boring stuff. I quite liked my first taste of PVP, so that would be my main direction... but even with hull reimbursements, that can get costly. How does one make ends meet when one is mainly about PVP?

I feel like that's probably because I don't have enough hisec kills, but solo ganking isn't exactly easy and nobody in sigma/theta ever wants to help me ruin my sec status. I can fit a T2 catalyst if I want to solo gank a retriever, but that's throwing 10-15M at getting maybe 4-6M in module drops. Which I won't be able to pick up for 15 minutes, and by then both wrecks will have been looted. Frank Horrigan fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Mar 10, 2014 |

If you wanna make isk pvping, go highsec, and start suicide ganking. Otherwise scanning down some DED complex sites and completing those can be pretty fun, as you might hit the jackpot opposed to mindless grinding isk.

I will admit I never really did high sec ganking, but I do not see how you can make that much profit from it on your own? You gamble at a chance of getting something good by an AFK auto-pilot while blowing up your own ship, and you need a 2nd char there to be able to pick your kill drop. I can see profit doing it with a few people ganking a Freighter/JF because you will get a lot of stuff. But on your own, don't you need to be super lucky?

That's how I've been operating. gently caress around in Dek, scam some people, etc. for money, then when my sec status hits 5 run down to hisec and try to gank some retrievers. It's less for profit and more for fun, but the fact that's cheaper (since you don't have to bring a T2 fit), easier, and more enjoyable with multiple people still applies. Plus with enough people you can go after disproportionately high-value targets like freighters, and begin to actually profit from ganking. I've got a neutral scanning alt that I use to shipscan folks with while I shoot rocks in a Venture. Just orbit around a rock at the same range as your target, then drop a bookmark when you bump them. Dock up, contract bookmark to yourself, switch to gank character and land right on top of them.  Then get blown up by CONCORD because I'm retarded and forgot to overheat my guns again.

Freighters will usually carry up to around 1b worth of items. At that point, throwing Brutixes at them becomes unprofitable. However, if you can find 40 people in T1 Catalysts to suicide gank the freighter, you've only invested about 150m for about 500m average loot. Alternatively, you can just have 4 people with 10 accounts each, since isboxer is perfect for suicide ganking (just warp all characters to the freighter with one click, then click again to start shooting simultaneously). This is quite bad isk/hour, but pubbie tears are their own reward and I would expect you to occasionally find a freighter carrying ten billion worth of crap.

When you find a dude autopiloting 300 million worth of random stuff in a quintuple expanded zero-tank Iteron, you shoot them to death, loot the wreck in your alt (after aligning) and then be less dumb than they were bringing it back to Jita.

Plenty of other people do similar.

AFAIK staying between -2 and +2 is most efficient in regards to sec status, going above 4 in particular gives hard diminishing returns, as you will gain 0.01 per tick or something, and lose 0.3 per aggression, more for a kill. You lose less in a band that is around 0, and gain more per tick ratting. +5 might be useful in a "biggest buffer before Burn Jita" kind of way, but not in general. For disclaimer purposes: I haven't looked at the math on this in a while.

I don't know why, but Gevlons "updates" are hilarious. http://pastebin.com/SESwf3q5 namely quote:Trolls have been busy commenting “you didn’t take a single POCO”, ignoring that in the first phase of Sov wars there isn’t significant Sov movement. In the Fountain war CFC were actually losing the Sov they got from metagaming Sort Dragon. Then the resistance breaks over losses, the pilots on one side no longer fleet up or an ally figures out that Alliance Tournament is more interesting and the Sov is mopped up fast. quote:This was a testing POCO, this is why I didn’t brag about it earlier. It came with our new POCO war doctrine replacing the large reinforcing fleets. We used to reinforce dozens of POCOs. Then Goons formed up along with their RvB pets and saved them. They had the numbers. Our new doctrine is to reinforce 1-2 POCOs a day, not more. That can literally be done by a few guys while AFK. Now Goons and pets have two options: quote:It’s like in Fountain when the Sov was still all TEST, but PL already left and Rokh fleets had more Rifters than battleships. Yes, the mopping up is still ahead of us. And yes, they will have their 6VDT-like last stand in Perimiter. This guy clearly plays a different game than the rest of us.
