I haven't bought any modules, yet, so it's still a possibility. I'm going to refrain from buying any and think on this. That would really drive the PVP portion, too.

I did something like that with the Astero I used to run highsec DED plexes. Eventually I realized how phenominally dumb it was to have 500m in deadspace fittings on a frigate, and retired that particular autism chariot. Kept the Sansha scram, though. I use it to gank wormhole explorers now.

If there were some way to prevent cheating, a 1-month iron-man with a free-for-all brawl of the contestants at the end would be cool. No using markets, contracts, or LP stores. You only get to eat what you kill. I'm unsure if any ship BPCs ever drop, but whatever.

Career agents give you frigates and a destroyer. From there you can probably get a cruiser BPC from a LP store and build it yourself with minerals that you mined yourself.

It'd be hard to control for people using alts or friends of alts to sacrifice to the character in order to provide modules.

You can use multiple paid accounts from the launcher yeah. To use a trial and paid account, the trial account needs to be run on a separate computer or laptop from the paid accounts.

FranktheBank posted:Interesting. What kind of fit would I need for the domi? Well you need buffer and lots of it, em resist over 90 and some reps. The torp does 108,000 em dmg that you can't sig tank apparently. So 90% resists means 10k ish per hit, jsut from the tower. So a plate or two, a reactive armour hardener, a DCU, an Em hardener and a rep. I don't know if it's even possible to solo by the way. I just like having conversations like this because I found as a newbie people teaching me how to think about fitting was better than jsut giving me a fit. I still can't come up with fits for poo poo most of the time but good to think out loud!

I sold a young member of GSF 12 injectors for 4 PLEX as a small experiment and I've been meaning to follow up with him to see how he's doing. I'm not completely convinced injectors are a good habit for the younglings. I agree completely with 10k SP awarded as a trickle, but not a pile of 500,000.

I've wondered about that. New players in an injector era EVE have a much more obvious path to higher SP than pre injector new players. I'm curious about the difference in attitude it breeds.

Carth Dookie posted:I've wondered about that. You could always just buy characters like before, though the PREMIUM you pay for desirable characters is nowhere near as extreme as it once was. The latest hotness is buying characters in the 100m+ range to melt to specific niches or buying to extract/resell the husk. Snagging a husk with 2+ carrier skillbooks and capships for 3-4b is pretty nice though

I wish they'd stop with level V prereqs and move toward a wider range of ship effectiveness based on skills and specializations. Wanna fly a racial cruiser level 1 HAC? Have your HAC but enjoy incredibly poo poo fitting and DPS.

Carth Dookie posted:I've wondered about that. They'll probably just be the same as me but instantly. I've had EVE a few months and haven't really left dock or logged in for maybe the last two of them. But I'll be damned if my character's skill queue ever empties out. Its basically like sending the little poo poo to boarding school so you can forget about him but make sure he's still breathing. In terms of ability, I've gone from someone who can shoot and transport hi-sec rocks at a mediocre rate to someone who can fly a raptor to just above level 3 mastery. Never been on the winning side of any PVP though, and beyond the SoE arc in PVE I was pretty challenged. So when I do get back into the game I'll be in the middle of the ocean with water wings flailing.

I was digging through my old alt accounts and found one that I hadn't played for 5 years that I had trained to gallente carrier 4 back before it required capital ships and warp drive operation stuff. After I got done stripping the SP out, it has: Gallente Carrier 3, Capital Ships III, IV required; Navigation II, V required; Warp Drive Op II, V required; Jump drive op III and fuel conservation IV and drive calibration III, got Jump drive op 0, others don't seem to be even injected.  I'm training gal carrier to 5 for the hell of it. Could it 'sit' in a Nyx if I needed it to? I assume the ship only looks at the top skill and nothing below.

You usually need more than just one skill to sit in a ship. To sit in a Nyx you need: Capital Spaceships I Gallente Carrier I If you have those two, even with missing pre-reqs for those two, you should be able to sit in it.

Dr. Pangloss posted:
I think some kinda limit on SP would be more fair. Or even better, everyone must participate with a new character of which all were created on the same day. Event lasts as long as a trial account (Its back to 21 days, right?) With new characters in mind, I think it would be neat to come up with a naming scheme that participants can identify each other in local. (Example: A predetermined last name of something like 'Iron-man', but unique or EVE specific that isn't already used... as I'm sure there are already characters in game with the name of iron-man.) Plus if you see named participant in local, should be obligated / some incentive to duel.
