I don't know much about them though other than that the new fighter mechanics are neato though. I got to fly a hel and a ragnarok on sisi and it was fun and made me feel good in my sci-fi nerd bits.

I'd argue that it's FCON and SMA that have peaked the 100s marker in recent history. Hats off to Vendetta Mercenary Group!

I'm just not seeing how the new supercarriers have a role in capital fights. Heavy fighters are easily killzoned by a few dedicated anti-fighter carriers. Also dread bombs have a tendency to clump, and the new AoE doomsdays will make the tactic largely cost-ineffective. It really looks like cap fights are just going to be a N+1 titans and nothing else

It could produce a strategic decision tree situation. The AOE doomsdays are good and a counter to dreads, except if your enemy is bringing primarily titans, at which point you want single-target doomsdays. But if your enemy brings mostly single-target doomsdays and not a critical mass of AOE, then the dreads win. &c.

Also I don't know.

It's a large chunk of it. I think it's 35000 GJ on everything within 10km of the titan. An avatar only has like 100000GJ total capacitor.

erebus lance does 33k aoe neuting, it has 162k cap so yeah it's definitely noticable

In spite of some of the dudes here are infuriating, immature, barely functional adults, I don't want to go to the effort to specifically shoot them in space. The meta games are tiring, just enjoy the rides until CCP closes the server or Digi comes knocking on your door with deadtear holding a chainsaw, whichever comes first.

In honor of your epic thread transformation efforts of today, I plan to buy a mining ship tonight and take beautiful screenshots of the rocks I hoard unto its cargohold and then post them in this thread. :swoon:

vvv I love the rust effects so much. Adds a really nice personal touch to the game. My raptor has been gathering it at a good clip and I refuse to ever clean it.

If anyone knows how to take a screenshot w/ a Mac keyboard that's connected to a PC (leftover from when I was running a hackintosh), do tell. Supposedly the F13 key should map to print screen, but it does not.

I have a couple space rock shooting screenshots from when I mined in the wormhole I lived in previously!

This is my Prospect! I really like this ship because it can stealthily eat space rocks and huff gas and be able to avoid people with its covert ops cloak.


This is the Skiff I got not too long after the last screenshot because I wanted something that could eat space rocks a lot faster, since we didn't get a whole lot of traffic through our wormhole.


I still have both of these ships, they're excellent!

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 ...

The Skiff is a good choice! Don't be a bad like that one Russian dude I surprised with my Pilgrim. Don't take Retrievers into wormholes! (Your Skiff and good drone skills would have had a good chance at taking me down. He, not so much. :v: )

Yeah! The Skiff is actually bait fit, too.

With the invulns running it has somewhere around 65,000 EHP. :toot:

Yeah but then I can't munch space rocks while I murder peoples' boats. I also had a Pilgrim on standby for the neuts, so it's okay, not that anyone ever came into the hole to try to fight my Skiff.

I had a storyline mission to mine, and I thought what would Videogames do. So I strapped two miners onto a rookie ship.

It was a blast.

So I was flying around in a travel-fit interceptor going from gate to gate and somehow managed to die to a gate camp who locked and tackled me before I warped.

This is with a sub-2 second align time. Everyone says these fits are uncatchable but are they really? I don't think I fat fingered the wrong button this time so trying to work out what happened.

If you have a really bad ping to the server and the instalocker has a really good ping (lives in London), that can happen occasionally, I think.
