People were screaming into the void even on old Kugu.

It was pretty dumb because they were, for the most part, people who didn't make any decisions or were involved with their groups leadership. They just wanted to scream about X or Y person/group at the top of their lungs.

It's the same thing you see on FHC with all the whining by people like Marlona or Seraph6.

That said, if they make it worthwhile for people to post battlereports etc. for the different fights that would be pretty cool since that section was pretty neat.

Hello. Yep, I still think Atlantis is Bolivia, yep, I'm still a giant idiot, yep, I'm still a huge racist. Some things never change!
I think the biggest problem is that EVE players are terrible people who just want to scream at others and feel superior. There will never be a place of rational discussion that will not devolve into screams of, "The Martini sucks!" "gently caress CCP!" "gently caress goons!" "LOL TEST!" :byodood:

Unless you have some poor soul who spends his entire time moderating 24/7 :dawkins101:

I don't think reddit is the problem. Yes its a bad platform, but the users are the problem.
R/eve is poo poo. Failheap is poo poo. Kugu was poo poo. This thread is poo poo. What do they all have in common? EVE players.

Kugu had it's moments. It only really went to poo poo after goons stopped caring leaving just elite pvpers to circlejerk all day. Around the Halloween war time there was some fun back and forth.

Are you exploring for combat sites or are you doing relic/data hacking? Are you already running low/nullsec sites? I'm planning on doing exploration a bit to get back into EVE too, but I'll be doing what few hacking sites I can find in highsec to get my feet wet before I try jumping into low/null/WH stuff. Been reading this guide: http://www.toptiertactics.com/21341/eve-online-exploration-guide-billions-and-billions-of-isk/ and the EVE university stuff

I've been running around in lowsec but the problem is I was finding only gas sites for a while. I got killed outside a station when I went to go to the bathroom so that's my fault, but the second time I got killed by Sleepers in W-space.

I'm fitted ONLY for data/relic sites, no combat. I'm in a Heron with nothing but stuff for exploration.

Basically I don't know how to avoid rats in exploration. I don't have enough money to fit a combat ship as well. I think I just need to get a cloak.

Set your clone to Saranen then pod yourself. You'll wake up in station and be ready to join in fleets. Even newbies are extremely helpful and we'll be able to give you free ships and isk. Don't stay in highsec to build skills dude. You don't really need that. Its not about how many sp you have, its about who you fly with.

E: make sure you join one of the corporation in the alliance first, obviously :P

Yeah, and CCP made it even easier by upping the starting SP. Plus we can just roam out of amarr because that's not too far from either provi or amamake.

Nice! I've given up on CCP ever getting access to my old account(s) restored so I started a new trial today and have spent the past couple of hours running the career security agent. Two free Merlins, some named T1 loot, and not quite 2M isk seems WAY better than the starting poo poo you used to get.

Still need some training before I can fit a probe launcher, etc. but the exploration career dude's next on the list.

run the advanced mil dude he's basically the same as the basic mil one, also business is mostly combat

the other ones can all be run with the skills you start off at and give some random ships and a couple implants

oh yeah if you get the one that says STAY IN TILL YOU DIE or WE'RE GONNA MAKE YOU INTO A BOMB insure your ship, get a bunch extra free monies

So you avoid rats in exploration by the name of the sites. If it has sansha,angel,blood raider,guristas or the other one in the name it is exactly the same as a null sec site that would normally spawn in the region of space inhabited by those rats. But the site itself has no rats. The faction just determines what the loot table is.

W space specific sites will have names with no null faction name in them. Like forgotten recursive etc. These have sleepers and you will die.

Just fly around cherry picking null sites that spawn in w space.

Also relic sites average like 20 times as much isk as data sites

Dreads can lock out to 300km now - I tried to see how effective that distance would be on tranversal by shooting an aurora rev at an abaddon.

Turns out it still can't hit it until it's below 20m/s.

HAW revs are awesome though, reminds me of the 120km scorch sniper apocs of yesteryear when locus rigs didn't stack nerf.
