I want to fly into Gallente space, fit out a T2 Talos, and blow something the gently caress up. :black101:

Would think with that much dps, I could pretty much kill any barge/exhumer in a .5? Need to have transversal as low as possible due to larges yes? Fit the thing out with nothing but MagStabs, TCs, and Sebos.

Well, good news: CCP plans to upgrade the Skiff and the Procurer's graphics, so you won't have that problem in the future.

I thought all the barges/exhumers were getting new models with the Industrial array patch?

I blew up someone's Mackinaw a few years ago with a friend. The guy brought out a Megathron and shot at our neutral friend that was salvaging the wreck and got his ship blown up by Concord. It was a great time.

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 ...

even lovely terrible highsec miners can have money if theyve been mining veldspar for the last 6 years. thats great because they probably don't know about anything other than mining rocks for pennies even though they've amassed a scrooge mcduck level pot of coins

all of the scam marks ive found are straight up visibly dumb as hell. they practically beg you to take their money

I was in Jita and was picking on a scammer and posted, "send me isk i'll halve it for you" and someone sent me 25mill.

I like the scammers that will do contracts for firetails for 1 mill then after they do a few for 1 mill they do one for 1 billion. I've picked off a dozen ships like this at the low price. and yes I've made a few mistakes like when they sub out a firetail for a cheaper ship but I will send all my isk except for 5 mill to my alt so that I don't accidently click and lose 1 bill.

There was a guy in Amarr doing a thing like that, but he would make all of the cheap contracts a bit beforehand, so I could just search his name in the contracts and buy out all the really cheap ones before he could even post them in local.

One time I ran a scam in amarr. It technically wasn't a scam, I would challenge people to a game, convo me and send me money. I'll either send back double or take it. At which point, if the former you have the chance to send me back double or steal it, repeat until one of us runs off with the buxxx. Tons of dudes started with 1m, played like 3-4 times and then sent 100m or w.e. It was p funny honestly and I just had a spreadsheet and made sure I always stayed in the black. Made a few bil off of it back before I was straight up scrooge mcduck like I am now with literally so much money I don't even know how to nor trust myself trading with it, so that was pretty big for me.

I was a really good recruitment scammer and seller of valued vapor supers once upon a time but I guess one day I got too bitter and now I just can't keep up a conversation for long enough without remembering how much I hate pubbies

Chill thread I have an exploration question about the high sec data site (.7) I found last night that dropped an implant BPC and some other loot: I thought exploration sites didn't have or spawn rats in them, but after I hacked and looted the first can at this data site four pirate frigs warped on grid and I had to clear out. Is there a specific type of site/signature name that gives away whether or not pirates will show up when you complete a hack?

Unless I have misread the various exploration guides, I thought relic/data sites were combat free unless you're dicking around with W-space stuff

A Talos is roughly two t2 catalysts. So anything you can kill with two cats. That'll cover most non super tanked Mack's and hulks. Transversal, etc doesn't matter unless someone using a TD on you as they have ~5km optimal and will be moving too slow to build up any sort of transversal.

E: an ab barge moves around 300m/s and mwd goes at 600 m/s if remember. If they're moving that fast, you shouldn't go after them because they'll be out of optimal by the time you land unless you lead them v well.

Don't mine. Mining wastes a ton of skillpoints and the ISK return is never worth it. If you want to play "space relaxation tape" do exploration, if you want to watch netflix while watching your wallet slowly increase train for the drone ratting ships and go that route. I gurantee you will get bored of mining within the week or when you realize how much everything is actually worth.
