EVE ONLINE IS MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY BECAUSE IM A FRIENDLESS SEMILITERATE LOSER WHO WILL PEDANTICALLY DEMAND PROOF FOR BASIC THINGS LIKE GRAVITY OR THE EXISTENCE OF SELF. ASK ME ABOUT CHEATING AT TARKOV BECAUSE, WELL, SEE ABOVE

Ambaire posted:

The question is: which arty group applies damage first? Is it some sort of weird composite hybrid or distinct?

This is a good question, and another question I would like add on is how does damage with multiple damage type components apply, ie hybrid guns that do X thermal and Y kinetic damage.

Would it do damage with the two resists averaged by how much damage each damage type does? This to me seems like how it would work but I don't know.

Another question, what if two separate guys with two separate types of ammo fire during the same tick? Is the one that is fired minutely faster but still during the same tick applied first?

Also doing exploration which takes almost no skill investment, 3 days or so to get everything to level 3 for T1 scanning frigates which is good enough to even do nullsec sites with a bit of luck. Income is variable but you can get at least 20m an hour.

I've personally enjoyed exploration quite a bit, and depending on where you land alliance wise it is always a beneficial skill to have. I think the most isk I've made in game was when I did low sec incursions with a group for about a month or two. At the time they were accepting T1 megathrons in (which required like a month of training from a zero skill character) and, to me, that seemed pretty darn accessible. YMMV of course depending on what groups you join, but running incursions seems like a great way to step up isk making after doing things like ratting/exploring.

Assuming you're not on a crazy tight budget, upgrade the weapons, shield mods, and afterburner to meta modules - for a lot of things meta 3 seems to be an inflection point on the price/performance curve but YMMV depending on the market. I have a couple arty ruptures in highsec that aren't seeing any use, I could contract you one if you want to strip anything off it or need a spare hull.

Also if you train for shield upgrades 4 (day and a half maybe?) you can use the T2 large shield extender which will help with your passive regeneration as well (since it is % based).

After that you'd probably be OK for belt rats I guess? I've only tried that a few times but a Catalyst or Algos worked in Dek (albeit very slowly and ready to run if taking too much damage).

Not to state the obvious, and you probably already know this, but don't fly what you can't afford to lose. If you're going into low sec, you will lose that ship eventually, and probably more. Especially if you try going thru a system that's virtually perma gate camped.

How do I tell if a system is gate camped?

Pyfa will do most of that in that it will tell you the price as well as what skills you are missing to "sit in" the ship and online the modules (except PG/CPU skills - have to figure that out yourself).

A lot of lowsec gate camps happen at highsec-lowsec border systems. You can sometimes spot them by looking at kills on the in-game map or dotlan. Example:

http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Heimatar#kills

If you look at this and also view the map by Security, you can see that Amamake is a highsec to lowsec entry point and that a lot of nerds have died there in the past hour(?) relative to the rest of the area.

The same generally holds true for nullsec and of course this won't help you spot a new or roving gate camp. It could also just mean there was a big fight in the system. But for border systems and pipe systems a gatecamp should be expected if you also see a lot of kills.

If you have the ability, I know it may be a bit early on for you, but get an alt in a throw away frigate to scout a jump or two ahead if you're moving something you "can't afford to lose".

This:



Find any fit on zkill you might want to import.



Click on the Meta tab



Pick the export option that works best for you, use 'EFT' under 'Lossy Formats' at the bottom (works for Pyfa as well)



Copy.



Paste


Note- the green skill book icon on the top right- Yay! I can fly this.


Note- the red skill book icon on the top right- gently caress! I'm missing skills.

BAM. If you have a character API for Pyfa (it just wants character sheet) it will tell you if any of the fits are unusable, the price of the fit is on the bottom right, and you can use CREST to export a fit you like directly to the game client, then open it in Jita and push 'Buy All'.

In the beginning...the universe was created. his has been widely regarded as a bad move and has made a lot of people very angry.
So, for my miner, this is looking like my goal fit. I'm out in null, I get the occasional red and want to be able to keep them on me while allies come out and also deal with rats. The main concern I have is the 2x invul and 1x em field, is there any other combination that would result in a bigger tank? Thanks.

Only thing I could think of to increase the tank on that would probably just be T2 rigs honestly.

Otherwise, this is what I've always used when I use Skiffs, which has a disruptor along with the scram instead of an EM Ward and DDAs instead of Mining Laser Upgrades, but the EM Ward might be a better choice over a disruptor anyway. :shrug:

The Skiff is a good deal ship all around for mining and tank in Null, however if you wanted to replace a Mining Upgrade with a Power Diagnostic II, that would beef your buffer tank as well as your passive regen, which is usually key for a Skiff, especially if you're trying to keep them on you.

Up to you, if mining ability is worth more than survivability, and even then its only in the margins. Just remember to always stay passive aligned and warp as soon as local pops a neut.

Tried the inexpensive Angel Burner fit from one of the guides posted in here, got unlucky with a reload and ended up burning out my launchers trying to break back through the little bastard's tank. Might have been OK if I hadn't gone full :downs: and forgotten to put nanite paste in my cargo hold.
