I haven't played in 5+ years and came back with a skill remap. Currently sitting at about 7mil sp - I'm thinking I should just train skills that I get the most SP / Hour out of until I hit a certain skill point level then remap them into something that is useful. Is this wise or should I just wait and find someone to review my current skills to see if they are worthwhile? I've had trouble finding someone wiling to do the latter.

Reverand maynard posted:I still think sp rewards for a questline would be amazing, especially for new players. Their method though was trivial effort and trivial reward. It could also be tied in with new opportunities. Your first fully mined asteroid gives sp, first completed mission gives sp, exploration, FW kill, etc. Or make the SOE epic arc give a bump to fitting skills (shortcut to CPU5/PG5 maybe, or your choice of frigate 5 and small weapon 5) rather than standings, or even just a skill injector. It's modest but not insurmountable  for a genuine newbie and shortcuts them around skills that really only serve as time gates for new players (and cash grabs in terms of training time for alts). The balance of the universe will not be shifted if Little Johnny gets into a reasonably competent T1 frigate a couple weeks sooner, but he might keep playing after his 3 week trial if he has a taste of real progression.

nomad2020 posted:https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6539576 That's a drat shame. I really liked this feature. I gotta say they're probably right in the effect it had on peoples login behaviour though. If I wasn't planning on playing that character that day anyway I would just log it on -> warp to belt -> kill rat and dock up and log off again. In order to keep new players logging in they need to make missions/quest lines reward SP so that you have something to continually work towards.

It's almost like ccp is learning the same lessons blizzard did 3 years ago. Logging in daily may correlate strongly to the account still being subscribed next month, but boring rear end repetitive chores aren't going to up your subscription numbers. At least it only took a few minutes and they figured it out fast enough.

Just completed the SOE epic arc... I think? I captured a dude and stuck him in a box out in space and now the primary quest giver doesn't have any more missions for me. At no point did it ever reward me anything other than credits which I thought was pretty disappointing.

Yeah that was the dude I captured and stuck in a box in the following mission. His shield ship was a pain in the rear end because all of my damage came from Hammerheads which suck rear end against shields. I got mail from another Sisters of Eve guy with a "Storyline - Distribution" tag asking me to bring 1000 veldspar to a different station, but there was no followup.

Yeah I did the Caldari epic arc tonight and while it was kinda cool to get no poo poo blops dropped by Gallente Navy (Sin recons and bombers even) it was also p dumb and took my faction standing from like 5.3 to 5.8 which was not the "massive standing gains" I was expecting. poo poo the storyline I got because it's a 15 mission arc gave more than the drat epic arc did.

At least it's nice that the epic arcs are all slightly different. The Caldari one demands more stealth (there's one mission leading you through NPC-NullSec, for example), the Minmatar one mixes archaeology into it and Gallente and Amarr are about endless waves of battleships to kill. The Gallente epic arc also has some stealth-missions, I think. From the Amarr one I only remember endless combat against swarms of red crosses.

Hey ullerrm I've been looking for you on jabber because this seems like something right up your alley. Why is peak regen at 33% shields? Like how does the math work there. I have gotten tons of ashimmu burners and it rolls a RLML XLASB onyx with 2 EM wards and 2 extenders to make enough EHP for you to tank a whole asb reload cycle. I rep like 20%per charge so I've been letting myself get to like 10% before boosting it back. The difference in passive regen/overall tank is massively different from 50 to 30%. I mean like 4 volleys to go from 50 to 30 and like 9 or 10 to go from 30 to 5. Why is that?

Peak is actually at 25%.  We use 33% as a goal because it's a safe margin -- i.e. you don't risk having a big incoming wrecking shot that drops you below 25%.Easy explanation: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Shields:_How_They_Work#Technical_Section:_Shield_Recharge_Rate Hard math (shield and capacitor both follow the same formula): http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Capacitor_Recharge_Rate ullerrm fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jun 24, 2016 |

 How long term reliable would you say the Rev will be as top dread? being what they are. I'm forced to train into a new Dread now that the Phoenix is broken. The Rev looks great but I don't like how cap dependant it is. I was going for the Naglfar because that has always been a reliable dread. Though it's a lot less tanky than the Phoenix or Rev.I'm worried that the Rev will be nerfed soon and then I'll just be stuck with a cap heavy standard quality dread.

Also I am guilty of minor market fuckery. I have purposely kept the price of ECCM scripts on the Jita market unusually low since they were released because miniluv uses them. (and I could no longer directly send miniluv scripts since I'm Horde) I built over 3 million of these scripts and flooded the market with them to crash the prices and keep them low to prevent people from artificially inflating the price. I wuv you Boney.

nigga crab pollock posted:u do know that one with a sensor strength script is better than two with no script right I tested this in EFT For sensor boosters one with a sensor strength script and one with a targeting range script will give less of both than two unscripted. However two Missile Guidance computers unscripted will have diminishing returns for application and range. As opposed to two who have one script each.

Something about it is just really nice to look at and I hate having to use ships that aren't it. If you look in the back of the curse, in between the stuff that's jutting out there's a face of a monkey wearing sunglasses.

It's tankier than a normal transport, and since it's cargo is not stored in the cargo hold, you can fit whatever mods you want to the ship, there's no need to gimp the align time/warp speed/ or tank in order to fit cargo space.
