Back when EVE University lived in Korsiki, the various "mercenary" corps du jour would come camp that system: Privateers, Atomic Battle Penguins, etc., but you need a very specific reason to bother with anywhere other than Jita or maybe Amarr. I can't think of any good reason to even bother camping the other hubs; i.e., Dodixie, Rens, or Oursulaert, unless you were actually hired (and some highsec pubbies actually do this) to go and camp a specific corporation or person who only lives in those out of the way areas. Whatever hub is nearest the home base of EVE University is probably a decent place to camp, though?

An angry amarrian roleplayer once hired the elite lowsec pirate/mercenary corporation Blood Money Cartel to wardec my highsec mission taxes corp. They managed to kill a covops on a station, and lost a bunch of battleships to ratting Megathrons and Ravens.

I need help deciding which Destroyer V to get first. I have all of the small guns/missiles and supports (though I'm sort of in love with missiles), and primarily fly small gang and gank fleets.

The dictor will probably be the deciding factor, since all of the D3s seem pretty neat. Is the Flycatcher viable? Is the Eris garbage?

flycatcher and sabre are both solid. Sabre is usually regarded as better as it can fit mwd web scram while staying agile, flycatcher gets an extra mid though so it can do double web setups. Svipul is loving boss, and the jackdaw looks to be a lot slower than the svipul its going to be tanky as gently caress. Once a jackdaw tackles you you are going to be loving dead if there is a scimitar on field as there will be no way you're prying him off.

The confessor is still ridiculously strong. It's just that the svipul is better at warping in, shredding a frigate in a small outpost and scooting away before anyone can do anything about it. It's the lowsec equivalent of the cowardceptor dialed up to 11.

Also, :wtc: is this?

Ya confessor is more of a baby nomen and the svipul is a crazy rear end brawler.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Looks like you guys were right, nothing really happened today. I accepted some more allies and refused their 1 ISK capitulation-offer. I guess those HighSec-wardeccers will now fight this out among themselves. And by "fight" I mean sitting around in Jita for no reason until the war is over.

Welp, maybe dropping about fifty people on six was a bit overkill, but hey, it was still cheaper then just paying them. (The capitulation-offer wasn't there yesterday, by the way.)

thrashers are straight up overpowered compared to the other t1 destroyers in basically every way. it owns. faster, more dps, better projection at range, and you can fit a full tank/scram. plus capless guns + selectable damage types im spurtin here

Destroyers at V is great, especially for when they release the T3 Gallente and Caldari destroyers.

Although I feel the Svipul is pretty strong right now, at least compared to the T3 Amarr destroyer whose name I haven't bothered learning. I'd like to see how it goes toe to toe with the eventual release of the other two.

Also, greetings. Newish EVE player, just found this thread.

CCP really need to pull their heads out of their rear end and attempt to make all ship classes useful. The current meta is awful, I don't care if battlecruisers end up with a lovely, almost inconsequential, role but for fucks sake do something. Not really sure what their ship team actually does, they released the Confessor and Svipul in a fairly decent time frame from each other but since then they've released a few screenshots and some basic stats of the other two and left it for Fozziesov.

Hell I'd even be totally fine with it, if the way they made command ships relevant again was to just give them capital ship levels of tanking ability so they can stay on grid.

Commands ships have pretty decent staying power- if they're dying too fast, either bring more command ships or more logi.

Making all ship classes useful is easy to say, and very, very hard to do. It's not like they don't know that would be a good thing.

And the much cheaper 150mm version that loses a tiny bit of DPS, falloff, and EHP:


Or if you're rich and have balls of steel:


Yes, that's 600dps from a Sabre, no big deal:


Extender/prop mod tiericide will make all of these significantly easier to fit and remove the need for any faction scrams/extenders.
