We actually have a fairly healthy Us/tz these days Schaden is off impregnating koreans and we are accidentally alot more competent with comps and strats but SV us/tz is more or less still a small-medium sized fun zone.

Oh no, I realize how much work is put into running these events, especially with little or no tools.

You could just dock back up again if it wasnt. Most Amarrian stations let you warp off and stay within 0km with a lot of wiggle room. If you were ever tackled or didnt like the situation just dock back up.

Edit: Or you could just put a warp disruptor on your ship and kind of stop it from warping without having to do any weird bumping technique, unless you we're talking about highsec where you can't engage a person and are using a neutral alt or something to bump a freighter for some reason.

I don't really feel like we're doing SV's brand name any favours by holding a 20 minute fight (followed by a 20 minute pos shoot) that we outnumbered them 3:1 up as the epitome of syndicate PvP.

There have been loads of super fun fights lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4ZADYKz3Ak and other small 3 - 30 man gangs going out often.

If you're in the AUTZ we often have very small gangs gatecamping or roaming around (it's my TZ), but it won't be much different from your past experience in the USTZ last year, though I don't think we have the bad comp problem as much.

...But I could hardly wait six months with a red hot jape like that under me belt.

I just completed a complete lap of Eve's low and bits of null in my beloved cynabal named Ulysses.

Was actually a lot of fun, dodging dudes and sneaking past gate camps. Didn't find any soloers I felt confident to engage but had an awesome 1v2 against a daredevil and exequror. Thought it was curtains as I couldn't break reps and the logi pulled range but I managed to break the daredevil's point with my neut and bugged out.

Was good fun. Would lap again.

I've heard this tossed around but the tower was shot for over 20 minutes and there were no kills after it - did we just not manage to anchor any bubbles around it or keep it dictor bubbled in those 20 minutes?

No one's holding that fight as the epitome of Syndicate PvP. That fight was meant to escalate into even hostile numbers (NOWAY was meant to come), in which case you never want to be unprepared. If you're not willing to form a blob once in a while to have some fun, then you will have issues dealing with those who do - asking for the other side to bring less people for the sake of it isn't how it works most times out of ten. :v:

Someone asked about solo'ing in FW space a couple pages back - I suggested the amarr warzone around Egghelende. Egg is a great spot to set up a solo pvp base of operations. It is 4 high sec jumps from dodi so you can easily use an alt in a t1 industrial to haul out some solo ships and fits (J4LP has a hauling service if you hop onto our forums, 80isk per m3 from jita/dodi as well), and there is a decent market there as well thanks to fweddit and the amarr militia.

There is a ton of solo pvp action within a couple jumps. Siseide, Amamake, Auga, Kourmonen, Vard and the surrounding warzone are very target rich. I started solo pvping about a month ago, and never have to go more than a couple jumps and a few minutes to get fights. There aren't usually many gate camps in the area, and there are gangs but in my experience plenty of solo'ers out and about. It's definitely more removed from Dek than the cal/gal warzone, but I find it to be a much better environment for solo pvp.

quote:

Being social shrinks your brain!

When I kept saying that being social will cost you braincells, I didn't mean it literally. I should have. Recent scientific research shows that humans lost more than 10% of their brain size in the last 20000 years, a trend turned back only in the last centuries. Who else lost grey matter? Social chimpanzees (bobonos) compared to the common ones. Domesticated foxes compared to the wild foxes, over a few generations and other animals forced into sociality.

Why? Because we need brain to make decisions. The World is complicated and we have to figure out what to do from extreme amount of information. However being social is exactly the opposite: accepting the decisions of other people. This can go to the extreme, where obviously wrong answer of peers is accepted.

There is more than that. IQ is more or less stable during adulthood, while improving fast during childhood. An 8 years old kid is more intelligent (and not just more informed) than a 7 year old kid, while a 20 years old person is only more informed than a 19 years old. The increase of IQ stops at puberty. This also causes that people who reach puberty earlier - like women - has lower IQ on average, despite no such deficit in earlier age. Simply their brain development stopped earlier. But what happens in puberty that stops brain development. No, not hormones, since males and females have completely different hormones. Puberty is also known as the time where kids revolt against their parents and start to do dumb stuff like smoking and taking drugs due to peer pressure.

Puberty is the time when the body matures for sexual reproduction. However to sexually reproduce, you need partner. So puberty is the time when the focus move from things to people. In many ancient cultures, there are coming of age ceremonies where the former kid is accepted into the society. So IQ development stops because intellectually challenging tasks no longer interest the kid, people, social relations and such brainless stuff do. In several cultures intellectual and religious positions were filled with eunuchs or at least men living in celibacy. This makes sense if we assume that such practices decrease social interests, therefore increase intellectual capacity needed for these jobs.

Anyway "social" and "for fun" is now scientifically proven to be equal to "dumb".


PS: seka wolf must be a very social person, judged from his mental capacity. But maybe this renter has even more fun in his life. This other renter of evil also surely have a great life with many friends!

If you're going to do solo/small gang PVP, videos with bigger ships are always more interesting to watch. Frig PVP is boring because pretty much anyone can go into a FW plex, hang around, and get a decent fight and it's super cheap. The really interesting stuff is cruisers/battlecruisers, with solo/small gang battleships being the "ok I need to watch this" kind of stuff.

Length on average seems to be between 12-25 minutes for a video. I prefer longer, but that's just me.

Comms can be cool for smaller gang stuff, but it's really a judgement call in the end. Are the comms actually interesting, if so include them, if not music. If you're recording fights, I'd recommend keeping track of what you killed. You can see this video for an example of what I mean https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=346706&find=unread

The Nestor is quite the shame. It was so close to glory -- so close to usefulness. All it needed was a jump-only covert jump drive (read: no bridge) and it would have been useful and worth owning and worth flying. Alas, it was not to be.
