Watch lists don't tell you someone is online unless you are mutually watchlisted now.

That's why I'm asking if he had the tengu watchlisted. If he did, then the tengu could see when he was logged on/off.


EDIT: In this case, it doesn't really matter, because I thought Frank logged off, but it was the Tengu that logged off.

There were 3 blues in system. I figured it was one of them. Just wanted to see if I missed any other way. I should have done a test warp to a safe to bait him. Oh well.

You can still determine if someone is online by throwing conversation invites constantly. If they're offline they bounce back immediately, if they're online it doesn't do anything.

I remember riding a jump bridge network from Deklein to Fountain in under half an hour. You could do similar things with capitals, it needed to be nerfed in some way.

drat it Namamai, set up that small gang squad and teach us to be better pilots! Querious seems like the perfect place to small gang these days. Delve seems nice for a small kiting gang with all the activity.

Unfortunately the only small gang content you'll get in querious these days is going to be broski sitting in their fortizar until they've found enough logi to kill you in their 100mn HML tengu comp. Almost all other PVP there is dead.

Something like guaranteeing support against Querious invaders, without blueing the QFC because of gudfites.

I'd rather we didn't use the same dumb #BlueNotBlue get-out clause as MBC. If we help Querious out then fine. If we decide to farm them then fine. But "organised gudfites" is like playing hold'em for matchsticks, if the stakes aren't real it's hollow and dull.

Not to mention when the opponent "cheats" because they still need to win. You have to try and not hold is against them when you're fighting alongside them some other time.

Are Marauders a big deal to wormhole life? Seems like they'd be great for sleeper sites.

I once severely overpimped a Paladin to run C4s and then died on the first site due to T3 gangs. This was like right when bastion modules came out, though. I might try it again some time if I ever join holesquad.

Not really any more. You can still solo C5 sites in a marauder, but it leaves you extremely vulnerable - anything with a weapon can spawn the drifter, which will proceed to ruin your poo poo. Previously, that wasn't a problem, so all you had to worry about was locals logging in, someone stumbling through one of the connections, or fresh hostiles rolling into you.

They're still pretty solid for clearing rats out of profitable C5 gas sites. You also can run C4 and down sites with them, with C3 being the most profitable, but there's poo poo that's way less expensive and vulnerable that can do that, so people don't bother, mostly.

That said, as a PvP platform, solo marauders in holes can be a hell of a lot of fun, if bads are willing to feed into what they presume is an expensive killmail. Or you run into a bait marauder that can locally tank like a triaged FAX.

oh we're playing the "you're crazy" game. Some of the reasons reflect negatively on GSF so I can't say them without loving offending people who will bandwagon the rest. so chill the gently caress out, there's also a TMC article in the editing process that might explain things.

You think sounds crazy? Try this on for size:

There are two basic methods for weighing your excrement. For the first method you'll need a large salad bowl made of stainless steel, tupperware, or glass. Don't use one of those bamboo ones, it's too porous and it's not cool to return it to the pantry like you can with the other three types. Relieve yourself into it and weigh the bowl on a digital scale or your regular scale, then empty it into the toilet.

That's how you can tell when someone doesn't have a dishwasher. They have kitchen utensils made out of materials other than stainless steel, glass and ceramic.

My food scale actually deducts the starting weight.

So if you put a 35 gram container on it before starting it. Then take off the container, the scale will then show -35 grams. Until you restart it. Anything weighed on it will have the weight of the container deducted which has been great.
