EVE ONLINE IS MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY BECAUSE IM A FRIENDLESS SEMILITERATE LOSER WHO WILL PEDANTICALLY DEMAND PROOF FOR BASIC THINGS LIKE GRAVITY OR THE EXISTENCE OF SELF. ASK ME ABOUT CHEATING AT TARKOV BECAUSE, WELL, SEE ABOVE

I really appreciate the information. I'm definitely still a newbie at this game, but my trading is taking off pretty decently, and you just aren't experiencing Eve properly until it's at someone else's expense. So we have some money to spend and really want to take some candy from babies. How would you break into this with a core of 3 people? Is it as easy as taking some Catalysts out to Niarja and picking off the weakest from the herd? I'm the guy who rotates through his orders for hours on end, constantly updating, so annoying or tedious doesn't really represent an obstacle to me. Bumping sounds important, but I have only a basic knowledge of it. You just collide with an enemy ship to knock them out of alignment or move them away from something, right? Does simply approaching them not work? Do you need to anticipate heading and move ahead of them? Where looting is concerned, can you usually loot in the combat vessels or do you need something with larger capacity on hand? I know these are really noob questions, but that's the situation.

Edit: I'm ready to fail a bunch before nailing this, and having a passive scanner with fitting export ready to load their build into pyfa is where we're at right now. I figure we can use an alt for that so we can have a full 3 combat vessels available to gank. Can we really go as low as three destroyers and have viable targets to pilfer?

Generally ganking is limited by accounts- less so people. If you only have 3 accounts, I would recommend industrial ganking in cruisers (maller or vexor) or battlecruiser (tornado). One scout, one looter, one DPS (killer/ganker). A scout to cargo and ship scan incoming targets (generally industrials), a ganker/dps to kill the target, and a looter to, well, loot. Ideally you should loot with a ship with a similar cargo to whatever you're ganking, so if it all drops you can get it all. Location wise, I'd recommend Madirmilire, traffic runs from Jita <-> Amarr so set your scout one jump out along the pipe and you should find enough targets.

https://evepraisal.com CTRL-A and CTRL-C the cargo scan of the target you're looking at into here, and click submit. It will generally give you a good price estimation.

http://halaimacode.byethost8.com/fitscan.html CTRL-A and CTRL-C the fittings multiple times (until you're satisfied) into this to get an accurate EHP number of the target.

It takes a while, and having someone help you out early on to run you through it and then answer questions you have when doing it helps. CODE DISCORD (We're not always helpful but next time I gank industrials you can tag along and shoot poo poo and I'll show you how it's done.

Bumping is a freighter ganking thing, I'm the only guy in the game who really bumps industrials so dw about that for now.

Honestly, if i had assurance from innominate that these assholes would be dealt with if enough evidence was brought up, i'd spend half my time in EVEA writting down names and taking screenshot.

One of them (vultures) once told me that he considers low scale operations (ppl with only a few accounts) to be a hindrance because they don't cycle the belt fast enough and it slows down his operation.

Nah, he's 100% wrong. If he wants the belt to cycle faster, he could stay with his 25 Rorqual and finish it in 30 minutes. He doesn't and let the others mine the Ochre. So the truth is, he's the one slowing things down by absolutely refusing to mine anything but the good poo poo. Pretending like the people actually doing the dirty work are the problem is just low.

there's no comparison because titans dont require literally more materials than exist in the game and after the first titan each titan was easier because the logistics got easier, and then jfs and other methods got added to make it even easier

Then consider my estimation revised.
While the rorqual allows you to chill and watch netflix you will more often than not make less than optimal and will really end up doing 100m per hour. At least you can multi them easier.
in the end, both have advantages or drawbacks...

Well you need an untouchable Isk faucet. Without the isk from Lenny's Casino none of those groups would have risked their "precious kill boards," to fight that kind of war or cooperate. If they all banded together again and had to run a war on the current economics it ends in complete flame out. All the Casino War did was temporarily create an enviroment were elite "spescshite samurai" could actually exist. To get everyone together requires several egos surrendering to an overlord and no one getting pissed at being "3rd string quaterback."

On a lighter note happy to see Hilmar making GBS threads a brick on stage, no one should be allowed to gently caress up that hard at their job and think they have any semblance of job security. Party at my private club when Iceland gets turned into the ghetto of Europe when Pearl Abyss closes down that poo poo hole.

thing is, those sorts of mobile applications are just augmenting an existing customer base, which is basically worthless in terms of making $TEXAS
