Keepstar fight was kinda exciting as the timer kept ticking down when fleets got forced off grid. atleast modules and guns activated as expected compated to Vey. Was not planing on playing for for 5 hours but making GBS threads in NCs cheerios is always worth it.

GSF is a pretty good group, bunch of assholes and I hate 'em, but that's for in-game reasons. They're a good group to join.

They claim that capsuleers of "all ages" can join the fight but I doubt my friends with <1 mil SP can join, can they? You can break with an alpha tristan. You just need 110ish dps to break the battleship (if it spawns a bs)

Here's my idea. I want to be an arms manufacturer/pirate who ganks miners to get free materials. Is this even feasible? I'm trying to look up "faction hit" on PVP and I'm having trouble with the results. Also any good guides out there specific to profit margins, skills to take, path to go and where to mine?

I'm trying to look up "faction hit" on PVP and I'm having trouble with the results. You'll need a ship scanner, a max skilled refinery character ideally with an astrahaus and a freighter, and a swarm of gank catalysts. Basically it all comes down to math on your ganks look for the lazy miners, the orca who is solo mining a belt, or obvious multi boxers. This is your best bet as anyone else has a fairly high chance of costing you more than you gain. Also choose what you recycle your goods into carefully since you can lose a lot of profit if you spend your ore and minerals on something stupid like t1 mining lazers.

But there's a few interesting highsec gimmicks you can play with that get you close to this, like can flipping in a battle-industrial, or MTU baiting in belts or whatever.

I'm trying to look up "faction hit" on PVP and I'm having trouble with the results. Instead of aiming for miners aim for haulers. The amount of expensive poo poo that gets hauled in an autopiloting t1 hauler is hilarious. Put a scanner character on a main hub gate. Have a ganker on the other side. (I liked to use vexors) and a cloaky hauler with stabs. When you scan a ship with good potential loot then gank him once he lands on the next gate. Warp down grab the loot. Rinse and Repeat. There are guides for this on the GSF forums i beleive.

I'm trying to look up "faction hit" on PVP and I'm having trouble with the results. you want to gank things for profit? shoot people who have blingy ships. ratters. the thing with minerals and manufacturing is that the things people boat around are high volume and low value, comparatively. i mean like yeah you can find quite a bit of minerals doing that stuff but the real problem is getting all of that volume somewhere useful and then doing something with it, which takes time or money, and enroaches on your margins. shooting ratters is good old classic pvp and its not only fun in its own right it can seriously have good returns. people fit blingy poo poo all the time for no reason. like a single faction or deadspace module is going to be worth more than a hauler worth of minerals you don't need bling to gank bling, you just need to have a truffle pig or know where the ratters are and how to get them yeah there's no gurantee that they aren't poors in poverty fit ships (most people are) but its not like you are fighting better odds ganking in highsec

I don't understand this drone incentive thingy going on. The sites bounty are rear end, solo'ed. The salvage is poo poo skins (lol) and that training time accelerator booster is nearly drat useless on a char with high SP. Could they not have jacked up the bounties or something? You could do better with the regular L4 missions.

I just use the sites as nice bait in lowsec, sit like 10K off in a Stratios, surprise buttsex unsuspecting carebears.

I'm trying to look up "faction hit" on PVP and I'm having trouble with the results. If you want to make money from solo pvp, hunt exploration frigates. Its easier than ganking. All you need is a pvp ship with web and scram, a scout alt, and the ability to anchor warp disruption bubbles. I have a scout in QBQ, a drag bubble in QSM setup to catch targets in QSM warping from the QBQ gate to the 36n gate. When I see a target jump into QSM I count to five to give them time to enter warp then login my pvp guy. What happens from their perspective is they jump into an empty system, enter warp, and find me waiting in the bubble like a spider. You don't even need an expensive ship to do this. https://zkillboard.com/kill/61397879/ https://zkillboard.com/kill/61397627/ http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Catch/QSM-LM#jumps If this is something that interests you I can go into more detail.

I wish there were event skins and the only way to get them was to do the event yourself. As in you didn't get them as loot they were just automatically in your skins database or wahtever its called.

I'm aiming for a covert ops ship so me and some friends can fly around in null/WH and mess with people but I don't know if I should train bombing skills or just go for just regular weaponry. If I train to become a bomber I'll just drop my bomb and warp out instead of staying and fighting with my friends.

If I train to become a bomber I'll just drop my bomb and warp out instead of staying and fighting with my friends. Go for drones. The Astero and Stratios are expensive, but they're probably the best covert ops capable ships for blowing up mans, and they both use drones. (Ignore any laser bonuses.) My favorite exploration fit astero has a point, an ancillary armor rep, and light drones, along with the normal data and relic analyzer. This way you can creep up on nerds in wormhole sites in frigates and gently caress their poo poo up, then steal their site. Stealth bombers are good at being a dick to defenseless ships, but are hot garbage at actual fights longer than a volley or two.

The Astero is also a drat good scout ship all around. The only real disadvantage an Astero has is it can't fit combat probes without sacrificing the entirety of your lows (and the price tag). A T3c, at the moment, is a good ship for scouting if you're thinking you might find something big to kill and/or want to blops cyno.
