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..

Which fit/fighters are you using?

on the mission grid for maybe 2min; you have to actually macro the fighters a bit but if you fit your poo poo passive and just focus on controlling the fighters, you chew up BS and frigs like they're nothing.

Could I do similar with an archon? I have a focused carrier ratting alt I'm not using whatsoever currently and was highly considering just extracting to sell the goo; but in the interests of trying everything in eve once all this level 5 talk has got me interested

you have a pretty high setup cost - 1 carrier per system usually, which is 3-7 carriers depending on where you are

once you have that though, and standings of 7+, you're good to go; just watch out for the lowsec inhabitants who "own" these constellations and love probing out caps

Is Dungar still the same guy or did he sell his character a long time ago?

Also, jesus christ the reload times on RLMLs. Between my poo poo missile skills and the dudes in my missile bays taking smoke breaks every 5th kill I'm SUPER glad I bought a caracal

There seemed to be mixed opinions on heavies sucking balls vs. RLMLs sucking balls but yes, I will be training for heavies anyway. Missile support skills first, etc. I forgot how frustrating it can be to be super low SP and not be able to fit or do much

edit: HAH because of the 3.2m in missile rigs I put on this bitch I won't be able to fit heavies without a PDS until I have AWU IV trained

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 ...

This makes me sad. Crow was my favorite interceptor. Oh well, at least there is always the Raptor. Even if its got a lamer paint job.

If you have money, I've some good news for you: There are skins you can buy to change the Raptor into something less lame.

That makes sense, I'm not sure I've quite got the mindset of a pilot who has to deal with space AIDS. Only recently come back to EVE and the whole process is new to me. Clearing missions faster than fatigue dissipates I assume?

pl dictor got a really great bubble earlier tonight that caught everyone in the fleet but me and like 8 other dudes.

i have never been more sad to have caught a fleet warp, because that would have been a fun fight since the feroxes didnt land until several minutes later.

hindsight and all that.

Sounds like your old forum account might still be alive. You can delete the api that ties it to the old forum account, but making a new forum account when your old one is still active is a big no-no. If that's the case, you might want to email newbies@goonfleet.com and explain the situation I guess?

you can run archons but you take a 25% dps hit. On the plus side you have space for 2 istabs to align faster.
