Are there any realistic arguments for shield capitals? I know TEST uses them but it seems based on caprisun's /r/eve post and the nerds sperging out in Jabber when I brought it up that either people poo poo on them or vehemently defend them to the point of getting irritated and irrational. I'm about to buy a carrier and a in a few months a super so I can't accurately speak one way or another because I've never had either before, but I'm :ohdear: about the situation.

The problem with shields in general, and one of these becomes rapidly apparent at the capital level, is the lack of a shield slave set and a passive omni-resist shield module, though the latter could be argued how bad of a problem it is.

Not to be a killjoy (I'm going to be a killjoy): it didn't. It was 2.71au from the sun, but the reason the sun shows up as the location is because it was the nearest celestial.

those slave type sets for shields are coming though and a shield super is currently the best for krabbing thanks to the speed bonus to fighters.

I get the feeling we got our noses bloodied in F4R and the Russians weren't willing to commit the same level of effort, so we're kinda saying gently caress it. Reminds me a lot of the post-B-R Halloween War.

The first ten days of January are a national holiday in Russia and associated countries -- it's the lead-up to Orthodox Christmas, which was this weekend. Most Russian players will have hosed off for the last two weeks.

Hi, returned vet (hope so) here.

I have few questions:

1) What is the difference between KarmaFleet and Goonwaffe?

2) Is there any active war?

3) The_Mittani still active?

4) I saw economical reports from the CCP and Delve looks abnormal in comparison with other regions, especially by amount of ore mined, why?

1) they're different corporations, in practice for individual members not much, karmafleet recruits from reddit while Goonwaffe theoretically recruits from here, but they're both megacorps
2) yeah, we're fighting test in Catch
3) yes
4) goons are the only major entity that actually lives in 0.0 and have taken to mining like a pig to poo poo

Let them do all the hard work and clear it out as I thought it was a clogging up my interview anyway. Let some time pass and then strike! They cant defend high sec and null sec all the time. They will have a ton of assets in that heap of metal that will be a giant weight to the membership in the foreseeable future to protect. The end is near.

I'd like to give the game a try but I probably won't have the time or the patience to become a decent player. So my questions are

- do any goon corporations accept turd-level recruits
- does anyone want me as a referral
- can I fool around with character creation or should I follow some path right from the start (for the off-chance I do try to become decent one day)

your standard goonwaffe player is pretty turd-level; if you're willing to explode again and again in ships they hand to you, I'm sure they'd like that

I wonder what it would take to tip the trade hub balance of relative importance to Amarr over Jita. I doubt we have much impact on that in our current state, presumably because we're not really exporting and Jita is the path of least resistance despite the shipping costs (which to be fair aren't so bad if you can move full freighter loads via the Pubbie Express).

Speaking of Perimter citadels, I think my Miniluv DPS character has a learning clone in one of the Peri citadels, I should move it before the drat thing gets structure ref'd (if it hasn't already).

#1: yes, there's obviously Goonwaffe but as a newbie you might get more out of Karmafleet (I joined waffe on day 0 but those KF guys get even more free poo poo than waffe newbies)
#3: Eve doesn't really have "classes" like a lot of MMOs, and many skills are core/shared so there's not much point in re-rolling. While F2P you are restricted to your own race's ships, but you can still fulfill pretty much every role in the game with one character (tackle, damage, healer, etc.) if you want.

- that's what the alliance has always been built on!
- no, that's for irl friends only but you shouldn't need one
- go nuts, you can no longer permanently gently caress up your character (though don't use your attribute respecs until you know what you're doing), if you decide all your training was worthless you just start training what you want (and you can skillgoop out the old skills and use the SP for new skills if you want, though that'll cost isk/money).
