They have a very small niche, but they're essential within said niche. E: actually IIRC lowsec gatecampers use them a lot as well because they can tank the poo poo out of gate guns and with enough sebos you're not getting past them in anything short of an interceptor or cloaky ChickenWing fucked around with this message at 14:09 on May 21, 2015 |

I learned about infinipoint when I learned why you shouldn't haul your own stuff on your mainchar. I had two gates through highsec to go to the wormhole entrance where I wanted to bring my stuff. Easy enough. Multiple warpcorestabs. What could happen? They won't get multiple tacklers on you before you warp off. A single wartarget at the gate. You are stab'd, nothing can happen. Why can't I warp? Well... Don't haul stuff through highsec on a wardecked character. HICs don't care about warpcorestabs.

That's a good way to get killed fast. Also if you're going to attempt a station break out when surrounded by WTs insure your ship.

We talking things we learned? How about don't pack a third of the stuff you just ripped off of a pubbie corp and try to make that "one last jump" through low sec space, even when all the people are docked up. Because they can undock and get on gate faster than you can align to the gate...

So there's a post on reddit I was directed to that seemed kind of nice, just a short post about how a friend got a person interested in eve by introducing them through a women specific/ GSM group. Just a short post about being happy to introduce new players to the game. Unfortunately, they neglected to remember their audience.

Dalael posted:You can always try solo pvp, small gang pvp, miner ganking in high sec, ratting (or better yet, afk ratting). CTA/Strat ops are pretty much the only things you can't properly do in under an hour. The form up alone is often 30+ minutes. I proposed much better activities first, then moved on to the ratting because, believe it or not, some people are into that sort of thing. At least i'm not advocating for mining.

Hictors are also pretty scary as combat shops these days and pressing the button drops their mass by a ton so you see them a lot in wormholes. I've also heard of wolf-rayet lml victors that can for into frigate holes and put out 1k DPs.

EponymousMrYar posted:Passive Targeters are a thing, which lets someone lock you and scan you without you knowing for however long the passive targeter cycle lasts. Or someone wanted a high sec gank for whatever reason. We went over this 10 pages ago, this isn't how these work. Edit: cybertier posted:Multiple warpcorestabs. What could happen? They won't get multiple tacklers on you before you warp off. A single wartarget at the gate. You are stab'd, nothing can happen. Why can't I warp? A improperly, or even decently tanked industrial with a full rack of warp core stabs will die to vexors before it hits warp. The moral of the story is, never haul on any war dec'd character, never haul in a T1 industrial, and if you haul in a BR, do the cloak+mwd trick at every gate.

I still say dragging a bubble around with you has way more potential for problems, plus it's not like a dictor can't drop two more bubbles while mwding towards its target.

A max buffer passive tanked broadsword has 120k ehp and can passive tank 700 dps. No bling, just t2 fit. If you have nanos instead of SPRs in the lows the thing goes like 2.5k overheated but only passive tanks 300 yeah, a ship with 120k ehp that goes 2.5km/s and has a 24km infinipoint. oh, it can also go into frigate wormholes. Yours today for only 250m You can dps fit it to to get upwards of like 500 dps which is loving ridiculous, too
