This one was a lot of fun. The station had already been taken and I had one clone and 2 Charons so I reprocesses one, put it into the other, and ran that fucker through the EC- gate into Torrinos. Insert that loving Xzibit meme from like 2006.



This is literally me running a freighter full of frieghters through a pipe you could have easily camped me into.

i mean, it would have done more if everyone against us had actually followed through

but instead they let us moonwalk out with every single supercap without even trying to shoot them at all, despite a week of advance notice and our supercap evac route posted on a public forum

considering that we didn't fight at all and spent the entire time camped into a soda factory, it is awfully lazy of them to not have even tried

As I inch closer to enough isk to buy a Nyx I find myself wondering if it is even worth it? It would be nice for e-prestige, and it would definitely be cool to fly with 5 tubes instead of 3 and heavy drones but it just doesn't feel like enough for the price. Its going to be at least $25b to fit it properly, and for that amount I could buy 14 well fit Thanatos, or 50 really bling Proteus, or a combination of the two, or a jump freighter, or etc. I would be able to rat 3x faster than in a Thanatos, but I would have to do that for a really long time to make back what I spent on the Nyx. It just doesn't seem like it would be worth it.

:shrug:
I don't know! I think I would get more fun with 50 Proteus. Flying though wormholes ganking noobs, and not a caring if I die and lose the ship. Or taking a Thanatos into a wormhole or Syndicate region to mess around.

I bought a Nyx last year. And have flow it once. On Singularity for a training op. Spend your money on reactions.

How the gently caress would it have been a fight? It would have been wanton slaughter. We had no fax, remember? Hostiles were given thousands of triage modules to convert their poo poo on patch day and we had nothing (not to mention 5 to 1 capital and supercapital superiority.) It's not like you'd need to make some grand event and keep your entire org on standby. You just have to stage a bit beforehand to be in range of the first jump, cloak some hictors and wait.

Face facts -- we were allowed to escape because hostiles were too lazy to actually put in the work to kill us.

We had well over 2k+ Faxes in Saranen to the point that if one was lost, you were immediately handed another fully fit fax to get back in the fight with.

We lost a number of them, but pulling out of Saranen to Hak was quite the endeavor.

Indeed, the whole of our alliance bent its terrible will to the destruction of your friend's will to play. That's what we were worried about at the time.

Also, it never occurred to me that we had camped in a soda factory. How appropriate!

Is there a reason for asteroid belts to even exist any more? No one goes there to kill the rats or mine, they use anomalies for that now a days.

They are used to bootstrap recently acquired systems. Ore anomalies rely on the industrial development index to spawn, and a fresh system has an index of 0. The act of mining increases the index, so in order to get anomalies to spawn, you have to mine at the asteroid belts.

Some systems have no asteroid belts, like http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/WW-KGD . These ones are exceptionally difficult to raise -- you have to wait for an incursion or naturally spawning anomaly to occur.

We need more freighter gankers. Who is interested in forming a group that operates in high sec that targets and kills large whales while at the same time scamming as many people as possible? The name can be something that is actually the opposite of what we intend to do. Perhaps something like the ministry of peace or the freighter friendship society.

We should call ourselves The Firemen, from Ray Bradbury's dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451.
