It's the fastest frigate that's pilotable right now, other than the Burst II, which costs too drat much for 7 extra m/s. I fit it with a MWD, an autocannon and a remote shield booster. My primary goal is to steal from pubbies running highsec scout+ sites. But I am also going to try to deny, or at least delay, the final kill to get into looting position. I am also hoping this will piss off anyone in one of my regular farming sites enough to go somewhere else if it proves effective against destroyers. I've run into plenty of pubbies who don't even have an AB and are farming these, they get really pissed when you steal from them multiple times and end up with 100% of the loot other than the lovely MK3 stuff in wrecks they prioritize because it's closer and in their mind the loot is all theirs and anyone else is cheating / stealing / not playing by the rules. They are wrong, honk at them while taking what is yours. You are a goose, everything is belongs to you.

Been playing with a few other Goon friends in Echoes and really enjoying it. It's my first try at an Eve game and I've already made too many spreadsheets. Going to try farming some anomalies for Scout/Inq in high sec today and see how that goes, with the new patch out there's a decent amount of gate camping going on.

Is there a skill to increase loot opening radius? Like Targeting or something?

If your like me playing EE has revitalized your joy of Eve and I recently got pulled back into EO, now I'm looking to make you guys get rehooked..Mittani posted:You knew this day would come; you knew that you would be called.

I logged into EO after 7+ years and I was still in groon, with a sad last corp mail from 2 years ago saying they were the last one out and to turn off the lights. It was pretty sad.

am I missing something, or is there a heatmap that shows # of jumps? I'd like to find a good anomaly sector but all I'm finding are crowded with systems filled with morons running bases.

Oh dear god. Now there's more Echoes drama and honks had nothing at all to do with it. I was not ready for the public players to melt down over autopilot scram invincibility being fixed quite like this.

I think there's a really good point to be made that travel should be safe in toilet eve, but holy moly these meltdowns over it are something else.

People don't realize how terrible it would be. Just imagine if you could safely autopilot an entire fleet of any size ship straight to an enemies home system with no way of being stopped. It would make defending space incredibly hard.

no one saying that is thinking about owning space though they are thinking in terms of 0.0 is public land for everyone. They'll have a problem with people claiming ownership of the systems too I bet when sov hits.

Yeah, I mean, stealth makes a good point but I also did kind of like how safe it was even in null. But holy moly the people losing their minds over it are something else again. And it's not like lowsec isn't incredibly safe on gates and stations still.

How much damage do gate turrets do? If it's possible to alpha someone on the gate with a fleet in .1 space and get out without getting blown up, then that's probably not going to fly for people (even though mission running is probably safer than it should be right now given the payouts.) The idea that people want to just bomb around nullsec without having to keep an eye on things or fit stabs is funny, but having to babysit your CNI as it warps 23 systems over to your lovely 750K mission would be pretty rough.

That's what I'm thinking, I liked being able to gently caress around in wild west nullsec with nothing but a C2 and skipping through gates like nothing, but if this is the reaction then I should get on a gate camp and shoot more mans.

In Null sec adventures, today I murdered some idiot in a blinged out CNI (estimated prices are actually pretty accurate now), then ~10 minutes later, about a dozen of his angry corpmates descended on the system I was in. Fortunately they all jumped in local at the same time so I just left while honking at them.

It seems you do not have the invulnerable timer when you undock. Makes station camping very effective at this point of time.

I think people seeing it as a "poop game" are a bit short sighted with this. At the moment you can go from 0.1 to 1.0 pretty much with impunity from a travel perspective and within a destroyer or smaller in 0.0. Eve as a concept is a game based on risk vs reward, if the risk is too high then do not do that action if it is just right then go for it - it is all about what you are willing and able to do. I admit that the communication around the fix was not great and the Venture II is likely bugged however if you want to just go around and not have your ship blown up you are playing the wrong game. The game was set up so you are completely safe in 0.5 and above and at the moment without scanning you are perfectly fine doing any and all missions in empire as well. People gatecamping do it because they enjoy it, and let me tell you the posts about people being annoyed about it make them enjoy it significantly more.

I just don't understand why they think they should have the ability to fly through nullsec untouched. I don't have alot of sympathy for them...none of this changes anything in lowsec or highsec, so all their mission content is untouched Also lol at us destroying a miner as griefing.
