While a grain platform can be used for corn, a specialized corn head is ordinarily used instead.


My theories:

#1. Eve goes free to play with stupid microtransactions.

#2. Riot games buys out CCP

#3. CCP Introduce static plex prices

#4. All of the above.


e. calling it so it reduces the chances of it happening. I'm always wrong, my wife reminds me everyday.

I don't think he did, it was some idiot on Reddit trying to score points. CCP Manifest said 'mark my words' so this guy marked his screen with a highlighter.

He actually got Reddit Gold for it - http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2mkhwh/ccp_manifest_mark_my_words_this_is_going_to_be_a/

CCP have wisened up a lot under CCP Seagull. Their overall vision is something that most people can agree with now, i.e making the game more sandoxy and more fun.

Is that you, Bhane, or are you somebody from an earlier incarnation of the squad?


Thank you thank you thank you for this. It looks we'll have to do a shield brawl doctrine until our mostly shield-focused personnel can train into armor. The fact that your Legions use HAMs is gonna make the transition from HAMgus a lot easier, as will the fact that many of our support ships (Lokis, Curses, Falcons, etc.) can work with either fleet.

Once armorBrawl comes online we can retool our shield stuff for skirmish duty.

Pulling out expensive ships is always awesome, they're expensive because they're good at their jobs. I splurged on a vigilant recently, it's incredibly fun to fly.


The cost is a real concern. Several of our more active dudes rely on C3/4 ratting, relics, and huffing to fund their subs and PvP. I'm not sure we'll be able to sustain repeated welps of expensive ships.


We could probably get evicted by a stiff breeze at this point, so it wouldn't be much of a fight. If you wanted to do more than squish a five man kitchen sink gang, we'd have to look for outside help (something that I was hoping to avoid for all but existential threats (which I supposed you could very easily represent :ohdear:)). I really, really want to get to the point where we can have proper rumbles, though.

Aye, it's me, Bhane. Keep up the c3/c4 ratting is all I can say. With the loot boosts in c3s, dominixing them is now even more worthwhile, same goes for c4. Honestly, it's worth it. Pulling out expensive ships is always awesome, they're expensive because they're good at their jobs. I splurged on a vigilant recently, it's incredibly fun to fly.

Also, look at Gilas. They're capable of soloing c3s in crazy fast time. No SP loss when you inevitably lose one either! IIRC they pay themselves off in about 3/4 hours of sites, then every site you run is profitable. No ammo usage either, bonus. Two RR Gilas make absolute mincemeat in c3 sites, the speed is nuts because the drones apply dps better than almost every other weapon system.

"I really, really want to get to the point where we can have proper rumbles, though." < Yeah, you do, they're brilliant. No tidi, just two sides of competent people, and the metagaming going on during these brawls is nuts. We've had armor fights on WHs that last half an hour or more and only lose 2 ships per side, albeit they're 500m isk guardians :shobon: Neuting is co-ordinated, jams are appropriate race and called to coincide with targets, distance is dictated to weaken home-field advantage (they had triage carriers, we did not). Enemy warps in extra dreads, one warped at 0 and got shredded, too much firepower no field now though so we pull back to the hole, take out the loki that leaves their triage and jump out.

As for seeing you out and about - well, HK has no interest in evicting any of the smaller corps, at all. I just want to see if I can catch your domi gang, or Surreal's golem :devil:

I saw your member count has gone up nicely too. Keep that up, it'd be ace to see HoleSquad get bigger and stronger within WH space. Probably a total shot in the dark, but if you can keep membership going and active, I'd like to see you guys in a C5 one day. Capitals change the ballgame entirely in WH space, and in a totally different way than kspace. The first time I saw a capital escalation I was just floored by how much money they drop. 20m isk per sleepless guardian, and they die in ~10-15s each. Even if you can just get 1 carrier, 1 dread and 1 loki into a c5 the potential is staggering.

What have they done recently to make it more sandboxy and more fun? This an honest questions because I'm not subscribed but I do keep up somewhat and I haven't heard of them doing anything big. The jump fatigue was supposed to shake things up in theory but from what I'm hearing it didn't do much. And other than that it's just a lot of dumb bullshit like glass cannon mods and loot pinata ship haulers.

Apparently CCP talked about a trailer for something on a podcast that Manifest was a guest on. It would be classic CCP to say this week would be interesting and release a pretty video.

This is correct -- but it's not just dreads. Carrier usage has dropped drastically as well, except for Reavers, who throw them around like it ain't no thang.

Mostly, it's because a double-fatigue range basically limits them to home defense, and we don't have anyone seriously trying to kick down our doors at this particular moment. e: And for the current non-serious stuff, subcap fleets do well enough.

How do you mean? All supercarriers saw a nerf a while back when they changed fighterbombers to require 2xDDA to reach their old damage values. However, shield supercarriers feel this nerf much less than armor due to their lowslots not being their primary tank layer.
