Back to spaceship talk, I'm totally jazzed with the fact that clone upgrades will soon be a thing of the past.
As for the fatigue situation, my half-assed fix would be to remove Advanced Spaceship Command and bake the current bonuses into the hulls it affects, tben make a skill that reduces maximum fatigue. I'd want it to be that the longest you'd wait at level 5 for fatigue to count down is 24 hours, with a couple bours on the jump timer.
I'm hesitant to endorse Mynnna's proposal until I see how it works in situations like the sov counter-flip during the Halloween war, where NC. brought their big swinging super dick around to grind back an entier region in a day.
Really, the current proposed system is fine, as long as the numbers are kept to a small maximum. As-is, you can undock, jump, take a few gates, then jump again ad infinitum. And if you know you won't have go anywhere soon after you arrive, you can jump twice and the timer isn't too punishing.
I do like that they want supers taking some gates, as that would require some kind of effort to clear interdictors along the way.
As for jump bridges, don't touch them, except maybe to make sure they have less range than a new gate. So upgrades need to mean something, and a little increased mobility around one's own space in subcaps hasn't been any kind of a problem since they nerfed bridges down to one per system.

So I haven't got much time to play the game, but that hasn't stopped me from queuing up Assault Frigates V.

I am planning on making FW space my home away from home once I get a little extra free time, so everybody post your favourite solo T2 frigate fits for shooting some mans.

BTW, that huge 1000 dude fight in PB today was pretty cool. Despite the punishing Tidi, flying around in a big gianormous blob of ships, then seeing countless enemy Tengus pour out of the gate, then 5 minutes later a massive group of friendly carriers and Titans jump in and just start setting off doomdays and shitloads of drones and the enemy ships start exploding everywhere.

Me I'm just flying around in the middle of all this with my crow trying to point things as best I can in crazy tidi and hoping I don't get splattered.

Then when I got home to Dek, we started basically murdering some wormholers and I killed a dudes golden pod with 200M implants, won the Quiddich match, and I'm a real wizard now.

Warning: incoming quarterly j4g browbeating.
itsjustdrew, you had j4g written on your head the moment you first posted in this thread back when you registered, and haven't figured out what you're doing wrong in 5(?) months since.
Firstly, you never took the overwhelming amount of advice to go post elsewhere and become part of this community. Instead you just stayed in this thread trying to blend into the herd, only to poo poo up the last few pages trying to whine yourself into corp.
Secondly, you failed to read jack poo poo when you joined these here forums, making yourself the poster child j4g by not reading even a few pages back or the op to this thread.
And finally, you haven't bothered to learn by example from the several posters in this thread who themselves started as j4gs but weren't complete autists and figured out how to fit in around here. Really, some of the best posters in this thread :10bux:ed because of this thread and we don't hold it against them because they have proven they're not completely retarded.
You, on the other hand, just threw a whiney fit because you checked all of the boxes off to join Waffe without understanding the purpose of the checklist in the first place.
Go find something else outside of games to enjoy with your :10bux: investment and come back in 6 months. I bet with the changes in your posting style and actual understanding of the poeple you want to fly with, you'll fit right in. If yoy still even want to join Waffe at that point.

I don't really remember the rationale for some of the modules (CPR2? What was I thinking about?) but it worked very well against brawlers and even against some kiters (it killed some slicers with it). Since I haven't flown it for more than a year, I don't know if it would work now.

No, just misplaced hope that they will remove clone upgrades after the thing they're meant to increase costs on (pod-jumping) are eliminated.
And Mynnna has only given us tge outline, but by the description he gave, it accumulates fatigue slower when you're staying in a smaller general area.

It's been awhile so I thought I would give you guys a bit of an update on my eve career so far.

I have trained up into a Vexor as we have quite a few VNI fleets in the UNI low sec campus , and because I can't afford a VNI yet , I fly the cheap version.

The vexor has also become my main isk maker in eve as I use it for belt ratting. I had some incredible luck though , I was warping to a belt on friday and there was a mordus something something sitting in the belt.

Thinking this was similar to the clone soldier transporter ships that normally drop around 18mill in loot, I launched my drones and started shooting at it. Turns out they are a quite a bit stronger and my vexor exploded fairly fast (nobody told me rats can stop you from warping off). Long story short , some eve UNI guys came and helped the second time round and it dropped a orthrus blueprint worth 400mill!

Now that I have some isk I have been trying some solo pvp in the medium and small sites, and even though I haven't killed anybody yet while solo , I got one guy down to 40% structure. This seems to be what the game is about and the blood really starts to flow before once you click that "activate gate" button.

I hate every single way of making isk in this game(that I have found so far), and I have started hating parts of the game because it forces me to to boring crap to fund the PVP which I am loving. Luckily the blueprint isk is going to last for quite some time considering the ships I fly cost between 2-10mill.

TL;DR
I am rich now, I still suck at eve but getting better

Is scamming an option for you? Even sov-null's go-to newbie income of farming anamoalies has been nerfed into the ground for the last few years, both directly and indirectly. The only good forms of income left to new players are being good at market fuckery, scamming, and getting blown up if you're in a space-rich alliance that has high enough srp to be profitable.
