Gank her first, sell her a mining permit, and then tell her it was a test to see whether or not the relationship could survive some friction.

The guy didn't know how to explain EVE to his girlfriend to even ask if he can play when she's around. Then one night they're making sex and she poops in his hand. He uses that opportunity to sit her down at the computer and tell her about EVE.

Different situation, but appropriately Syndic Thrass.

There just has to be a way to get ship models that aren't 100$ pre shipping. I mean it's not shocking they didn't sell well at that price. [I I think that was the price, it's been a few years though but it was a lot]

Ironically, when they took them off the store, they couldn't give them away. They had tons of back stock, to the point that everyone at Eve Vegas one year got an Apoc model free, so that CCP could write them off.

That said, someone's made a Triexporter-to-STL converter, so if you have access to a good printer and are willing to do your own painting, easy enough to make your own models.

Paging Ullerm,

https://www.twitch.tv/eve_nt_tv

The info on the next EVE NT event (rules, info, prize ship skin etc.) is getting announced in a few mins if you're interested.

There's going to be signups for teams that want to partake.

Edit - Announcement post http://www.eve-nt.uk/2016/05/29/new-eve_nt-tournament-season-announced-with-prizes-and-giveaways/


CCP are apparently making a new test/tournament server called Thunderdome that is for player run tournaments and various other stuff. It was at the esport roundtable at Fanfest this year.

Thanks. For clarification, is this "EveNT team makes the fits, and teams have to use them as-is"? Because that's simultaneously interesting and awful.

Yeah that's what it is. The Fight Club tournament was a predecessor to this one, and it worked out well. It's also a lot easier/better for the audience to keep track of in a few different ways than something like the AT which is all about the fitting meta etc.

I was about to buy a ticket to EVE Vegas that year just because I was in Los Angeles and it was easy enough. The free ship model was the thing that put me over the edge. But then they changed the Golem model and that's what I wanted, to paint the Raven model like a Golem in the Lai Dai paint. Easy enough. So then I didn't go, and I don't want the Raven model anymore.

Yeah, but the fitting meta is the main thing I enjoy from tournaments :P Still might put together a team. Is this taking place on TQ or Sisi (or on that stupid Thunderdome server)?

e: Also:

1) How early will the fits be released? (Please tell me Elise isn't doing the fits, he is hella awful at tournaments)

As far as I know it'll be on either Sisi or Thunderdome if that becomes available.

I don't know who is doing the fits or when they'll be released, I think Bei Artjay is doing most of that stuff. Speaking of Bei, he has been working on the banning tool that will be used for this and its still in development at the moment. I did a test with him using the format he was trying out, and it was 4 steps, 2 for each side. 6 depending on if you counted something. I'm not really sure if it'll be like that for the actual event per se but if you've ever played Dota 2 its a much more simplified process with the same feel. More info is going to be coming out but for now the info that was priority to get out is what the new format is, what the prizes are, and that there's open signups. The rest of the details are TBA since we have 5 months til the actual event starts and I'm sure they'll put out info with enough notice.

I need help with drone selection. I am fighting Sansha nation and I assumed Amarr drones that deal EM are the best. I become aware today that Gallente have 1.92x instead of the Amarr 1.68x damage multi. I dunno how the dps differs.

Edit: it's actually Amarr 1.68 vs Gallente 1.92.

That is real, but it only applies to mediums, and you'll notice that it only has 20mbit of bandwidth. So you can either deploy four unbonused lights, or two super-powered mediums.

Same deal with the Rattler, where you choose between two super-powered heavies or sentries, or five unbonused mediums/lights.

I will believe that thunderdome is a thing that CCP are working on and which will be useful for tournament stuff when I am actually logged into it and not a moment before. I mean, I want to believe, but I've heard the horror stories of AT12 Duality soooo...

Not super-keen on the complete removal of the designing fits and setups side of things (would have much preferred an NT collides-style setup but with teams required to submit their fits in advance rather than just lists of the ships they intend to use), but eh, the collides skins were decently valuable and doing tournaments beats most forms of ISK-making.

Duality was weird. The biggest issue with using SiSi is CCP break stuff on it a lot meaning any esport stuff you do there is subject to :ccp: so a Thunderdome server for that stuff to be done one free from being broken by the SiSi testing could be good.

I still think CCP should at least toy with the idea of their own arena battle system on either TQ or as a standalone game. TQ would be neat but I can see why it wouldn't work with how EVE is designed overall.

Bei is alright, although I'd really like to see fits early.

5 months? That puts it into August/September -- don't you run a significant risk of overlapping with AT13?

Today is the 31st of May, so five months would imply a starting date in late October or early November. November might be OK, but October is squarely in post-tournament spaceship burnout time.

Uh no, I misspoke about the amount of months between now and the start. The Fall Season (we're doing 2 per year now, Fall & Spring) starts October 2nd so its more like 4 months from today. The fits and other stuff will be announced sometime between now and then but when I can't comment on. You'd have to ask Nashh Kadavr, Elise or Bei about when they think that stuff will be ready to be announced.

Yep, every capital now has a big gently caress off SMA, and refit capabilities. I keep my HAW guns in my fleet hangar.

Sadly, there's not a ton of use for the SMA on most dreads. I keep a spare cyno ship in mine, and a bunch of unfitted frigates to use as chaff when shooting sticks.

(And you STILL can't fit anything in the Rorqual's SMA except miners and haulers. :ccp:)

e: VVV Yep. It's gotten me out of killmail city quite a few times while flying carriers near a hostile pos that wasn't being actively manned.

If you have both at the same, take Amarr drones. They have slightly better tracking and range then Gallente-drones. Together with EM being the best damage type against Sansha, welp do the math.
