Shimrra Jamaane posted:Regarding that mission blitzing guide, why does it recommend 9-10 different ships? Is each ship well suited for a particular mission? Starting out can I just use a Mach on everything (aside from burners of course) even if its less efficient? Yeah all of the super specific and weird frigate fits are tailored to the individual missions. That no-prop cap-injected deadspace repping wolf? It's for fighting the blood raiders burner which loving zonks your cap every 10 seconds.

so were going from rock paper scissors back to 'capitals always win' eh? unless you can escalate with supers. i guess thats what i should have expected in capitals online: a game about annoying rear end capitals (i dunno if this is true at all but thats kinda what it sounds like)

He gave me a badger and said I couldn't learn any more and that I should find some new mission people.  When I was trying to find something else I saw a mining vi mission person. Do all stations have that sort of thing? Mining and industry would be very cool to get great standings with!

In exchange, they shaved basically every capital and supercapital's HP in half, and removed ewar immunity from supers, and made it possible for large numbers of subcaps to tackle them (they have something like 50 warp strength). Also, starting tomorrow, capital RR effectively ceases to exist other than a FAX in triage -- no more wrecking balls, no more slowcats, no more theta circle jerking ratting carriers. So capitals are now all about high-risk high-reward. Also, https://vine.co/v/itVaLem2mKa

It's been said before but it seems like the only real counter to a mass of caps/super caps, aside from n+1, will be an even greater mass of suicide ships. I wasn't even aware until the other day that if you lose a tech 3 ship you lose a corresponding skill. I don't understand why they don't apply the same mechanic to capitals and super caps.

Anyone got any tips or fits for Curses? I fancy doing some wormhole diving and having recently trained Amarr cruisers 5 want to try out this ship. I'll use a dedicated scanning alt to cover that aspect. On a side note, has scanning changed a lot recently? I was playing about a year and a half ago.

VideoGames posted:It helped me get some cool minerals so I could finish building a bantam for the industry mission guy! If you do a few of those missions and you find you could do with better standings for one of the 4 NPC empires then there is an introductory epic mission chain you can do. One of the level 1 Sisters of Eve agents has Epic Story Arc you can start. It's about 40 quick missions involving a jaunt through the high sec space of each of the empires blapping drones and delivering things. The end boss can be tricky but you can ask some of your new corp members for assistance. At the end you get a standings boost with the empire of your choice and a +8% standings bonus with them going forward. Plus you get to fly about seeing things. The missions have some cool scenery too.

I have not tested it yet. It would be interesting if it did b/c it would be like a semi-bubble ability in low sec. In another note. I could be looking at this from the wrong way, but...it seems like Fighters and FB are way under the EHP they need to be. It seems really too easy to kill them.

for real, supers mow down everything. Interceptors/destroyers get murdered by the anti-fighter fighters, cruisers/T3Ds get murdered by light fighter salvo/web combos, bcs/bs get trucked by anti-subcap heavies Fighters are super-fragile though, and fighterbays don't allow for too many extra waves if you're going for max utility. A normal carrier can completely defang a super's anti-capital abilities in about 1-2 minutes. Also I made disgroontled's highlight reel

That might be a decent sub cap fighter counter.

The fighters have long range and are fast probably hard to aim with bombers. I think cormorants would be great for that, no doubt that MOA will turn into a fighter killing alliance for killboards efficiency purposes.

Fitting a T2 smartbomb in dread's utility highs should actually give them fairly decent defense against fighterbombers, assuming the dread blob is densely packed enough.

Fighterbomber's can hit a Large POS stick, so unless that particular super pilot is really, really dumb, they'll never be within 9km. They also recall very, very quickly.
