Dalael posted:Honestly, if your real life budget allows for it, just buy a plex. Ratting is a skullnumbing activity that could be better used doing something fun. Especially if you have limited time to play. i was asking because i remember people being made fun of for using "external" methods of isk generation, specifically being likened to mouth breathers that sink large sums of money into pay to win phone games. Honestly, I actually enjoy doing my job and really hate ratting so my options are have fun and make 500m ticks but some people might call me a loser for being better at making videogame money or dont have fun and make 14-17m ticks.

Micromancer posted:I agree completely that the goal is to rat in a capswarm fit with at least capswarm skills for a carrier. The problem is we get a new kid in Delve and are like you should salvage for a little while or whatever and then this 1m SP goober has 2b to spend on fun things the next thing they know they are injecting into all kinds of poo poo. Crapswarm no SRP carrier poo poo in Delve is fun as gently caress and your skills for keeping fighters alive is going to be trash. Go Thanatos, keep them shits moving and you won't have too many problems. You will still lose fighters at the beginning though, don't let that get you down. That's what the extra space for spares is for. You don't have to be capswarm compliant to use the capswarm fits, hth. Even using basic bitch T1 versions of the fits >>>> max hyperspatial krab fits. It is also not notably that much more expensive to buy the capswarm fittings (especially if you omit the pile of refit modules) and it doesn't take THAT much longer/more injectors to have the skills to use the fit.

Phone posting at work so no links but I do have a wh loss mail in a carrier that killed some poor bastards spider tanked rattlesnakes when they weren't expecting a capital escalation. I'll shoot you some links in the morning if you haven't run into the info before then. Yes, I use the capital gravity ii mod on a thanatos to run data relic and escalations.

Nah, the ones who get made fun of are guys who buy a supercarrier or titan that they have no idea how to use, and get killed about 10 minutes after their purchase trying to use a gate to highsec. Or who drop plex for an officer-fit battleship and go to lowsec with it, because that's how you win PvP in Eve obviously. There are a surprising number of these idiots so they get mocked frequently. Spending sane amounts of money on sane eve things is different. You can safely assume anyone that tries to insult you for it is just jobless.

Nietzsche Was Right quote:But what if pleasure and displeasure were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also have as much as possible of the other--that whoever wanted to learn to "jubilate up to the heavens" would also have to be prepared for "depression unto death"? And that is how things may well be.

NavyBlue posted:>have to pay a (probably) large portion of your income to maintenance (buy game time with isk, instead of rent/ mortgage) Anyone playing the game to buy plex so they can play the game is doing it several levels of wrong. If you have a job it takes about 1-2 hours to earn 30 days of game time. Doing it by playing EVE takes multitudes of that.

I used to know people at WHOI; they tended to be friendly but perpetually damp people who lead lives of quiet desperation and subsist on ramen and the by-catch from survey trawls. Marine science is very poorly funded if you are not James Cameron, and their subs are more expensive than /r/'s.
