At 5km/s, which is how fast my little frigate goes right now as I don't have an interceptor and don't feel like overheating, it would take 364 days to fly 1 AU. Moatman posted:There's two ways, deadspace pocket and in-warp bookmarks. It's generally better to drop a bookmark, warp to it, then warp to another celestial and drop a second bm. You won't be able to do this super effectively in a lot of systems because of celestial placement, though Yeah, I've been doing that. Was just trying to figure out if there was a way I could get a bookmark 15 AU above the highest celestial in a system.

I feel like CCP should just make safespot creation into an official feature at this point considering how essential it is to the game play. They could make a big quality of living improvement there. Given that it's possible to intentionally drain your cap and drop out of warp far short of 100km, why not just let you plug in an arbitrary distance?

Deepspace bookmarks were deliberately removed. The best alternative is to hope there's a celestial in the given system that is itself off-scan for the rest of the system. Bookmarks from anoms spawning around that can be random enough, or make one between two moons.

Fureil posted:Just checking to see if any of you know a way in your vast experiences, but I'm trying to narrow down a sure fire answer as to if it is possible to make bookmarks that are way out the middle of nowhere by means other than finding a deadspace pocket? Apparently back in the old days there used to be some fancy tricks to get really remote bookmarks but it seems most of them have been killed off. You are probably referring to the days of 3000 AU bookmarks. That was published by goons back in 2009 I believe, with CCP declaring it an exploit and patching it a few months later.

The trick was logging out in mid warp and then the game would sling you past your target a few AU at a time. Then keep making bookmarks where you landed when you logged back in. I think... I know it involved logging off mid warp...

Flanders or anyone else who wants to tear my pyfa skills to bits, care to provide suggestions to these Mach fits for mission running? I tried playing around with both armor and shield tanks. Not sure if damage controls are worth it over a 4th damage mod on the shield fits; also not sure if I should just go with warp speed rigs or resist rigs so they're not exactly consistent between the options. The arty fit is an alternative for something like Dread Pirate Scarlett to alpha her from range and get the implant. code:code:code:

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Before two weeks ago the last time I played there weren't any anomalies. It's pretty safe, especially now that you have to pay attention though you are better off running level 5 missions in your carrier for 4x the money and less risk but it takes more work/money to setup in the beginning. Level 4s have added a thing called burner missions, tough single or trio rats that will wreck your poo poo, but if you have the right setup you can complete them stupid fast for a very high payout so it all depends really

To do level 5s efficiently don't you need a carrier account in every possible system?

Not account just a carrier. And multiple pullers. While grinding pullers you can eventually just run l4s. I can trippled box l4s no problem, excepting burners I only one box those. So what that means is you make real solid space bux while grinding up to mad fukken spacebux

Seems like an easy way to get attention if gankers are watching the station when you undock. And what's a puller in this context?

Shimrra Jamaane posted:And what's a puller in this context? A character with high enough standings to request a mission from the agent. The way this is done most efficiently is to have multiple characters that can request missions, and to decline everything that cannot be blitzed with a carrier. In this way, you will maximize your money but also rapidly tank your standings from all the mission declines; but, with multiple characters pulling missions you can effectively avoid this by using Character B to pull missions while Character A is on the standings decline cooldown, or by sharing standings between characters in the same fleet. The goal here is to make sure that none of your pullers are ever below the standings necessary to request a mission, but also to only ever do the desired missions.

you can get two faction pullers in like 5 hours of fwar shittery, which should be more than enough for only pulling the most profitable and blitzable ones easily

It's not really possible to make true deep safes (as in, spots several hundred AU away from the nearest celestial) any more, but there are a few ways of making bookmarks at spots that are outside d-scan range of any celestial and any point on any warp path between any two celestials. The lowest effort method is just to wait for an incursion to spawn in the constellation of interest - for some reason, incursion site spawn at crazy distances from the sun, in random locations. Just make a mid-warp bookmark between two suitably positioned bookmarks and you're done. The second, which works in space where there are L1 mission agents, is to make a throwaway character and spam mission requests from the nearest L1 agent to the system of interest; missions spawn in random locations, including in 'deep' safes. Spam requests until you get one in the system you want and go check it out in your noobship. If it's in a deep safe, you're done; if not, go back and spam more mission requests. The most general method that (afaik) still works is to get a character in a blackops BS and another that can light covert cynos. Move the covert cyno into the system of interest, red-cycle it in a safespot, wait until it has less than a second to go before it deactivates, and then jump the blackops to it. If you time it right, you'll spawn in a new randomly positioned safespot in the target system, which may or may not be a deep safe.

Finally started playing Eve again to see what's changed after nearly a 6 year break, and taking it pretty casually. I've been messing around with a vagabond trying to get the fastest possible cap stable fit not in a fleet and came up with this, just for farting around in Jita.code:

If you don't die much and play for a couple of years ISK like that accumulates like pocket lint. Proper space rich is when you can buy multiple titans just because you can and still have enough to plex your 5+ accounts and keep them in Bling fit ships until judgement day and not even notice the dent in your wallet.

The game has changed so much in the 4 years since I was actively playing, so many new items and ships and .. everything.
