Theoretically you could form smaller groups inside of larger corporations. I will call them "squads". This is my idea please do not steal.

The hard part is finding a small corp that plays around the same time and frequency as you; it sucks when you're really feeling the game but your corpmates are casuals and only log in a couple of times per week. I always liked the closer intimacy that comes with a smaller corp but the convenience of round-the-clock pings and such that come with larger groups is nice too.

I had that problem when I lived in a wormhole. I would come home from work and look to engage in some internet spaceships. And the rest of the corp was on coms, playing minecraft. So I sat in the POS for most of the day.

Hey what happens to the money sunk into outpost upgrades when CCP eventually deletes them in favor of citadels? Or is that so far on the horizon that it's not even worth mentioning?

IIRC CCP mentioned something about a buyback program. That might have just been for POSes though

Sin and stratios do similar DPS, stratios is omnitanked, sin is tanked vs rats so probably had a giant explosive hole OR em hole depending on if he shield/armor tanked it.

Even if the sin was omnitanked whoever thought to shoot the other guys drones first would win.

At fanfest CCP said Eve is in a way real, because its plex prices were directly associated to the fall in oil prices, crash of Russian Rubble currency, etc...at least they hired some new guy to figure all of that out. CCP also showed how Muricans are more efficient than Russians in making isk/hr.

Sins are genuinely good PvE ships. I used to use a plex service where one of the guys blitzed with 2 sins and he was pretty drat quick.

It it truly awesome to watch RVCMF progress. I loved the email leaks, the screenshots, and seeing all the posters coming out of the woodwork who don't give a poo poo about the huge space empire drama but finally found a place to do chill mining/industry stuff with goons in space. You've got a good thing going dude. Never stop posting please.

I also love that RVCMF is basically a happy accident the result of you just creating a corp for shits 'n giggles and/or to complete a training mission (I forget which.) Just perfect.

Fuss and misery
Speaking of newbies, while cruising around grinding up the market alt standings I ran into a day-old newbie. They had overlooked the career agents and had somehow wandered out of the starting systems and was drowning trying to do one of the level 1 missions in the rookie ship. They were posting in local begging for help on how to get through the thing.

Got a convo going, sorted him out and pointed him in the right direction with a bit of cash to give him a jump-start. Helping out is fun. Maybe I should point him towards RVCMF, so he can chill and mine with a kicked back attitude.

beats me. Those guys showed a graph and directly compared North American players with Russian players (per log-in), and made some calculations, US players outperformed Russian players in isk/hr by approx. 20%. They did not compare Euros, they just made this one comparison. Also worth mentioning is that they used the same amount of players for sampling from each region.

Not only the build time, but the sheer amount of materials that goes into it. You could buy out the entire Jita market on PI mats right now and still not have enough to build a single XL.

(Mind you, the smart money has been collecting PI for months, ever since they announced the build costs, so there's plenty of people who have privately accumulated the necessary assets. Just giving you a sense of the flows and amounts involved.)
