It's completely accurate, since if the Russians weren't fighting N3PL we wouldn't have had any reason to be in the south at all.

that would be "br was only fought because of the russians" though

Hey, how new is the "B-R was only won because of Russians" meme? I keep seeing it posted when discussions are had about the relative super fleet capabilities of both blocs, I was wondering if that's something people actually thing, or if it's your bog-standard r/eve revisionism

As someone who was running cynos and actually flying caps in B-R yes it was one primarily because the combined super fleet of the russians / whatever idiot brigade sort was leading at the time + us is what let us hold dominance from early EU all the way until dead late US/TZ.

Had we not had the russians we would have had timezone gaps or a slower ramp up, so our fleet was constantly growing where PL et all's was getting rocked its hardly revisionism.

it was also the entirety of eve, the full might of PL plus N3 at its height. We would have been dumb as gently caress to have gone in solo.

This doesn't belong to chillax thread, but it's a complete and utter failure of either side's diplomats that drone Russian wasn't dragged in on the current conflict.

Edit: I meant my comment, not your comment Zasze. I just learnt a few days ago how glass hearted some of the nerds are.

You can now in fact start doing this again, check in the Theta squad forums for more details. Basically we have some folks earning space gold raising ADM's around our space, with a lot of caution and such to avoid being ganked while doing so

PI is pretty decent, only takes like a month to get a character with full PI skills needed and into a cloaky hauler. Plus you don't even need to be online for that. Quite a bit slower than ratting ticks though.

Sup chill thread, I played some spaceships last night. I gated half a dozen carriers out of pure blind, imported triage mods and equipped them to get some sweet new fax machines, and finally got setup with the high sec incursion group I've been asking about. These mother fuckers run vindis with a 2 a type invuln tank and 6 damage mods with a damage rig. It's so dumb and min Maxey I can't wait to get one of their equally dumb mach fits and put my large ac spec 5 to use

What have you fine folks been doing out in space

How did you get 6 carriers anywhere without getting scouted and doomsdayed?

Also incursionsquad basically stole all their fits from TVP, and are equally tryhard about it. They make good isk though.

Self destruct the drake. Use a talwar or a caracal for the lower level missions. It's even possible to do most L3s in a kiting lml msb talwar.

apropos of nothing, I found a funny thing on the wiki

quote:

Poet Laureate
From Goonwiki
(Apologies to M. Dickinson)
(hehehe, Dickinson)

Because Ken could not stop for Death,
Death kindly stopped for Ken;
The carriage held but just ourselves
and Mollies big red pen.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My mining moons and all my dreads,
For firesales that day.

We passed the gates, where bubbles shone
And stations graped secure;
We passed the the belts of bistot,
and fields of arkonor.

Or rather, he passed us;
The warps grew lonely and cold,
For only newbie ship my gown,
Pod jumping growing old.

We hid inside a pos that seemed
A fortress unassailable;
The mods were sound and all online,
But gunners unavailable.

Since then 'tis weeks, and yet each
seems brighter than ten moons
I first surmised that anime
Is nothing but cartoons.

taht graphic is for meta stabs but still, your fit is very touch and go. what level SC do you have? also for a raptor with only 3 lows this is why i always use an agility rig

Altran posted:

Just slap shield extenders in the mids, 3 i-stab in lows, 1 warp stab if you have 1 slot left, fill rig slots with warp speed. The info graphic is incomplete, at least male and stiletto can get sub 2.0s align time, no idea why they are not listed there. Male is the best in my opinion, enough mid for smarty and arty tank, enough lows for either cargo expander or warp stab, highest init cargo hold, looks the best.

Crow only has 2 lowslots, but you can do it: it just takes T2 rigs, dual faction istabs, and mid-grade nomad implants alpha+beta+gamma

Some goon showed me his travel interceptor fit. I forget which hull it was, but it was all officer mods, aligned under 2 seconds, and had cruiser-levels of EHP.

Cost: 15 billion ISK. :stonk:

So level 5 missions are insanely easier, casually running around 600mil/hr. If I was in a better constellation, and tried, I bet I could hit 800ish.

They have really buffed the poo poo out of capitals..
