Kind of pedantic, but I'm pretty sure you can have a trial account and a non- trial account logged in at the same time. What you can't do is have 2 trial accounts. Unless they've changed it in the last few months.

No, you've never been able to do that since I started in 2009.

you can run two trial accounts at once if you run them in compatibility mode or under two different windows user accounts. at least it worked a few years ago.

Get 10 PCs, put one at the home of each extended family member, and set up a VPN so that you can 10-box your gank/entosis/scout fleet via VNC.

hey ullerm what do you think of setting up a bifrost or stork as a kiter? they can get like 150dps with light missiles, and like 12k ehp. A bit slow at 2.7k or so without snakes/links?

It's a shame alpha clones can't cyno. I refuse to get a second account just to have a cyno alt.

I guess I'll just have to continue co-operate with other people. Ah well.

Cyno alts quickly become black ops bs alts/scouts/etc etc. Like my scout is also a perfect booster.

I'd stick to the bifrost personally as its a lot faster iirc, it might only go 2.7k but every min or so remember it can boosh 100k away in case of cancer garmurs

they're actually very similar in terms of stats, bifrost gets better agility/speed but the stork gets a utility mid

i'd mostly worry about the poo poo dps, and the balanced module known as the warp disruption field generator

I guess it depends on what kind of targets you are going after really though as to which one you choose and whether you can use a link on your ship which would suit the bifrost for the extra speed or extra point range best for kiting imo. I like a rocket dual MASB stork though for hunting ratters though.

A rlml onyx will ruin your day if you get too close it's true.

i've rarely seen an rml onyx, that poo poo is pricey and slow

i mean the nice thing with anything smaller than a cruiser is that you can just crash gate a bit and gtfo

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.
I asked a few weeks ago about missile damage. I'm almost fully comfortable with it now, I just have one question. How does the skill "Target Navigation Prediction" effect the velocity of the target? Assuming level 5 skill, is it really just a flat 50% reduction of target's velocity? If the target is going 140 m/s, does the skill drop it to 70 m/s (effectively)?

Thanks.

Injector farm profit down to less than 300m per month with +5.
At the current rate it will become zero profit next month or so.

Correct. (It's really just increasing your missile explosion radius by 10% per level of the skill, which has the same net effect.)

There'll be some kind of equilibrium, but at what price point?

Also wondering how alpha clones will affect plex.

Literally never fire fury/rage battleship sized missiles at anything. Fairly sure a carrier at 100m/s can speedtank them.

Edit, I was wrong, fire fury battleship-sized missiles at carriers, you're guchi.

Probably close to zero, possibly negative as people will use those to maintain alt accounts.

I'd figure negative, as its still easier than selling specialized characters to maintain accounts like people did in the past

And besides, I'd happily pay 200m or something a month per account as opposed to 1.2b.

I understand it if you're living plex to plex, wanting to goo farm, but I personally just keep skilling mains and if I actually need money I'll goo them then.

I'd rather get a lump sum when I need it, because that's more satisfying than looking at it as "these are goo accounts. They have 5m sp each and make/cost X per montha"

working mom

Pretty much, it also opens up purely industry accounts without wasted sp, only whatever you are using to make money with instead of having to either train unused skills or only use 2/3 for industry if you're selling character

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality.

Or you can run one skillgoo generator and two other characters per account and can even have them all doing planetgoo/researchgoo/whatev so your arbitrarily large farm of cyno alts also generates money beyond paying for the PLEX to keep them subbed.
