I WILL PUT THIS FLAG ON FREAKING EVERYTHING BECAUSE IT IS SYMBOLIC AS HELL SOMEHOW

I was very excited about finally being able to fly a mining barge this morning so naturally the first thing I do when I sign in is grab the Heron I bought as an Amarr citizen, slap a cloak on it, fly into W space, and make as much money in one hour of exploring as I would in three or four hours of mining.

My brain is gently caress and I can't stop playing. Help me.

Needless to say I learned that there is one site you don't warp to :bang:

There is some kind of list, try applying and if you are on the list they will tell you to pound sand if not than :shrug:

I don't know how the list works, but applying is free.

What's the situation of EVE under linux nowadays? I remember I was able to run it with WINE no problem except for one minor issues about background instances which where still sucking off full resources from my gpu as if they where in foreground. Anyway, is there a #pengoons room in jabber or something? :toot:

I run on Linux (Manjaro specifically), it's mostly fine. There is a beta launcher maintained by a CCP employee. The only real advertisement/download links are in the corresponding thread on the Eve-O forums. I occasionally have to kill and restart the launcher because it loads to a blank screen, but the game itself has been very stable.

The tools situation is okay. Pyfa works fine minus some UI glitches. GARPA GTS is mostly usable under WINE in that it loads, the map displays, and the core features work (performance is awful though). EveMon does not work in WINE. Can't really speak for anything else, although jEveAssets should work.

Manjaro is really nice. Super reliable and solid. It's the one I always install to people who wants to try linux and to be honest also the one I like the most for a 'relaxed use'. I switched to Arch now but I'll have Manjaro too in my ssd (plus Gentoo and Sabayon I guess :v:).

EveMon not working is pretty bad though. How about industry/production tools like IPH? Did you ever notice the issue I was talking about, having your backgrounded client(s) making your GPU go turbohamster mode?

Why is it that every time i open the launcher thinking "hmmm should I or shouldn't I?" It looks different? If they spent half as much time fixing the game as they do modifying the launcher, this would be a great game.

Asset updates like that are trivial. I don't know why everyone thinks updating a single web portal picture requires an IT project. Somebody from marketing probably handles that update at this point.

I used Debian for a long time but went back to Win10 when I built my current computer. I switched to Manjaro 4ish months ago, but was about to move on because I was having stability/ACPI issues. The base system update that came through a couple days ago seems to have resolved it so I am going to wait and see.

I have not noticed that specific issue with my GPU but I generally have at least one client in the foreground when playing Eve so :shrug: I don't use any other tools than Google Sheets.

I forgot that the CCP Linux launcher is just a wrapper for a custom wineroot so I guess the answer to the game being playable under WINE is yes :v:

The right answer to this depends on how much time and money you're wanting to put into it. There is money to be made from manufacturing and trading even if you don't mine anything yourself, but it still needs time spent tracking the markets, restarting jobs, etc. Then when you want to do your solo fighting just put a ship together and pop a filament to random nullsec and see what happens.

If you want to live more dangerously and skip the boring industry stuff you could leverage the T3 skills to run solo in wormholes. You can swap subsystems and rigs at a mobile depot so it's totally viable to wander around in a cloaky Legion looking for trouble, and then if instead you happen across a deserted C3 with a bunch of anoms they can be run solo with a sig tanking setup. It takes a lot of probing and dscanning to pull off though, and when (not if) you get caught you're basically carrying a whole second ship in cargo so it'll get expensive if you have a bad run of luck. The ratting Legion fit is pulse lasers but cloaky fits are normally HAMs so you'd need to train missile skills (dunno if the Proteus can be fit to do both as well, I don't fly them and they're not highly regarded since the powergrid nerf). If you're willing to have a second account with an Orca you can park up in a shattered wormhole (with tons of connections) and cloak it, so at least you don't have to cart so much around in one go.

e: The Stratios is cool because you can do a lot of different things with it, but you can't chop and change like a T3 and if you fit to do multiple things you just end up with a really blingy ship that is bad at all of them. There is a neat specialist fit to run C5 server banks though, where you clear all but one ship in the first wave, hack the cans while repping and then bug out. You might get away with keeping that and an active armor tank PvP fit with a mobile depot.

This is what I was likely going to do, but I was looking to basically play with cool lasers and poo poo this time or I would have just skilled into a Tengu. I used to fly one but got bored with it. I wanted to do something different, since all my previous experience was with Caldari ships. I was also thinking about not having to continuously restock on missiles and just live in a wormhole for months at a time. I get the meta, I was just trying to do my own thing because I just like to play for fun every now and then. That's why I can't really do station trading like the poster above you recommended. I just wouldn't be able to commit the time to it.

Basically I like space and want to be able to fly around in it, but was looking for a secondary skill that would allow me to get a little side income going to afford my sub. I had a ton of ISK banked but i've gradually spent all of it just keeping my sub up.

I'll probably just stick to exploration/combat and try and explore wormholes a little more. If I can't be the guy to solo anomaly I might be able to be the guy that kills the guy doing it.
