Siets posted:So with the drone assist changes, they are capping at 50 assigned drones. Could you not still subdivide drones equally among, say, wing commanders and still achieve a similar effect? I am likely just underestimating the value of unlimited drone assignments, but I am curious if folks have played around with this idea already. Yeah but that leaves you either: A: Vulnerable to damps because you had to use carriers as triggers. B: You have to drop one SC for every five carriers which is just asking for us to drop titans.

Nurge posted:This is a little late but sentinel isn't a bad reason to train amarr frigates if you want to piss on every other frigate hull in the game. That thing is terrifying for the cost. pugnax posted:There's no way that thing is going to survive un-nerfed. Get in while the getting's good. To answer the earlier question about frigates, yes, Caldari is probably the most useful all-around, but Amarr is a close second. Gallente are fine, but other than the Keres and Helios, either Amarr or Caldari will do everything better. Minmatar has nothing to offer but fast-locking gatecamp Hyenas and Stilettos. Interceptors: Crow, Malediction, Crusader, Taranis, maybe Stiletto AFs: Harpy, Hawk, Ishkur, Enyo, Vengeance (Minmatar are pretty bad) EAFs: All useful, but the Sentinel and Keres are clearly the best Bombers: Everything but the Nemesis Covops: Helios Navy: Slicer? These seem pretty well-balanced. Pirate: All four post-rebalance, but Gallente will be the most useful (Daredevil, Astero, Worm) Every faction has at least one T2 frigate worth flying, but overall Minmatar are the worst right now, as none of them excel at anything and many of them have terrible slot layouts with no other advantages. It's pretty trivial to cross-train into another set of T2 frigates once you have core support skills though, so any temporarily 'wrong' choice you make can still be corrected with another week and a half of training.

If indeed this is a nerf to afk ratting then it is also a nerf to multiboxing ratting. Glad I made two alts dedicated to VNI/Ishtar ratting.

Alchenar posted:I think they care to the extent that lots of people ratting for longer means more isk flowing into the economy. Isn't the LP reward from the ESS an okay isk sink? Or do not enough people cash in their LP/use the ESS for that to matter one bit? Wellp, looks like I'm going to have to go back to Tengu ratting. Good thing I'm getting HAM V in three days and won't have to use heavies!  Otacon posted:

Trabisnikof posted:But do they care if I'm at my keyboard or not if I'm adding the same amount of isk? It won't be the same amount of isk. People that are willing to AFK rat for 12 hours a day probably aren't willing to actually sit there and rat for 12 hours a day.

Azurrat posted:I applied to the sig almost two weeks ago, it's still pending. From a couple pages back, but if you're doing miner ganking (or hauler ganking too, I think) you can send your lossmails to James 315 in-game. He reimburses T1 Catalysts at 2m isk and T2s at 15m isk. That's how you make money from highsec kills. http://www.minerbumping.com/2012/12/reimbursement-for-knights-of-order.html Here's the relevant post on his blog. You can fit out a T2 Catalyst for less than the reimbursement amount, so you [/i]can[/i] make money off hisec ganking. Magic Rabbit Hat fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Mar 11, 2014 |

There's an update to the -DD- disband, Putin had nothing to do with it. An angry and bitter ex-leader, however, did. http://themittani.com/news/darkness-despair-disbanded-updated Also because the coalition/alliance have API based communications, -DD-'s members don't have those anymore either.

So I quit EVE ~4 years ago a little bit after titans came out. I used to be in SNIGG but when I went to college I didn't have time for EVE. Now I have some more free time and wanted to start playing again. I tried to get back into it over the summer and join back up with PL and SNIGG but the game has moved on so much that I almost completely need to relearn a good portion of it. I was interested in joining goonwaffe to relearn the game and play with some chill people. I've had an SA account since '09 but don't really post much besides browse D&D. Would I be eligible to join?

Well, to be fair, there was a fleet of quite a number of RUS (-A-?) Crows...  But I agree, people jump to conclusions and somehow, if they actually manage to take sov, this will "prove" that this deployment is working and that everybody is splendid and CFC/Goons beware and and and... I'm curious what tomorrow will bring, and I'm curious whether BNI will become more insufferable after this if they "own null sov".
