Roughly how many characters and SP do you need to get into T2 Invention and Production ?

This is my old T2 production character http://eveboard.com/pilot/Buildy_McBuilderson

There's some wasted SP on exhumers and stuff, but you basically need all sciences at 4, plus adv mass production 4 and research 5

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

If you are specializing in one thing then between 3-4m. When starting stick to manufacturing for one race to save time on racial encryption skills.

Interceptors aren't generally useful in w-space, so I imagine that guy who killed you fit specifically for the job, Gaffe. He probably had two warp scramblers or a disruptor and a scrambler to overcome the Venture's innate warp core stabilization.

I ended up contacting the guy and asking him what he did, and he said this. Had scanned down all the sites on his Stratios and found me, and since I had let my guard down I hadn't been checking d-scan for his probes. He sent in his Ares with two points and pinned me down.

Now I have the extra stab in my low slot and I hit the scan button at least once a minute while I do my usual internet perusing on my other monitor.

So I keep finding "guides" for w-space but they are several years old. I'm trying to figure out what a good ship would be to start doing some of the lower tier combat sites in w-space. c1-c3 for now as I know I'm not ready for anything huge yet. Any suggestions? I've seen multiple things that say the T3 Destroyers, but I'm a fair ways away from one of those currently.

A passive recharge drake can do the C1-C2s.

C3s are best done in something like a Tengu or a Rattlesnake

This is basically the standard, yes.

Rattlesnakes can go fairly comfortably all the way up to C4's and maybe C5's if they are super blinged-out passive-tanked. A tengu is going to be easier if you are soloing though since, half of the experience is scanning and traveling, which the tengu will do a much better job of both.

We use 3+ of these and sometimes a carrier for extra damage, I guess now a FAX to help rep us, if we feel safe/naïve that day. This is under a black hole system effect though, so you may have to change it up a bit depending on your system effect, or lack of.

At all V, 55k EHP, 494 DPS, 206m/s. Mids are mostly to taste with this, some people add a prop mod but we all just anchor on one guy so we never generally bother due to bouncing/rubber banding.

This fit is pre-module tiericide, but I think these modules still exist under these names.

E: just bothered to fully read the preceding posts, this is ~purely~ for combat anom running, obviously not for scanning/hacking unless you wanna carry around a depot or whatever.

I'm pretty sure you have to be a member of the corp to use the fitting service. When I hung out in my friend's wormhole I lived in his POS but had to refit my Tengu with a mobile depot.

What are you mining in? I've thrown together a Procurer with what is apparently overkill-tank, despite two mining laser upgrades.

Have to figure out how to run this on my laptop, though, because undocking at all seems to be such a load on my machine that it just gets too hot for my taste after a while.

A hulk on one dude jet canning to an MTU. Other dude is a retriever and a miasmos occasionally to empty the MTU and the cans built up around it.

Tank in highsec mining is a choice in my mind; either go with next to none since the rats do nothing; or go with stupid over tank for rats but deter gankers.

Oh and one of my RVCMF guys can build everything up to capitals and I have a bunch of t1 bpc stuff so we could build battleships, cruisers, retrievers; whatever people feel like

Does RVCMF take older pilots? I've had the EVE itch for a while now (I should have that examined) and a chill mine corp I could log in to help occasionally sounds like something I might be down with and could contribute to. I'm guessing yes but I saw in the politics thread that it was angled toward newer folks so I was wondering.

ofc I still need to see if my older character even exists or got hacked or something
