So I've been told the pvp corps stumbled upon a Gurista Deadspace, and the loot came out to be 3.5 bil, 80% of the market value of the loot. This is why we moved to Tribute. Go get filthy rich.

Blood has been spilled at the MO-E gate. I think we’re up to 20+ dead battlecruisers and 5 or so large industrial ships. Stay out of null, kids.

In EO you could do a trick shot in frigs, you shoot your prey at gate warp away then warp back and you have 5 min timer of uninterrupted whatever you want to do which resets Everytime you attack. I am not sure of that mechanic is in EE though. Once you learn the mechanics you can do crazy stuff. I do find it weird you do not have that 5 second invul timer when undock and sometimes am dead before my screen even loads.

the mechanics are nearly identical, a lot of it seems copy and pasted from EO somehow, like how concord response times and spawn locations and everything related to ganking was pretty much the same, despite never being intended in the game. if you think it could work in EE and itworked in EO, there is a good chance it works in EE

Mining space rocks is just as boring as it is in EO. Actually it's worse because if I AFK and switch to YouTube or whatever on my phone, Toilet Eve randomly drops connection. So I literally have to sit and watch my mining lasers slowly circulate. I think mining might be an activity reserved for home where I can have something else going on.

JagerNinja posted:I think it makes sense as a progression of the player experience: highsec = you're safe everywhere; lowsec = you're safe near stations and guns, but look out everywhere else; nullsec = in space, no one can hear you scream and don't fly here with anything you're not prepared to lose. the idea that "you're safe" could mean anything actually useful in eve is an alien and baffling concept, and actually using it could get people to not completely ignore lowsec in this iteration

I do hope they bring in abyssal deadspace for moneymaking, they're blitzable, and great money for cruiser/frigate ratting, and they don't depend on external factors like system quality. You're liable to get blown up if you're dumb though, frigates require manual piloting in order to not potentially evaporate. orange juche fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Sep 11, 2020 |

Or use split view, in Android press the show open apps button (alt+tab equiv) tap the app icon of the app that is currently open and press "open in split screen view" you will now have half your screen that is that app the other half will be the alt tab. Select the app you want in the 2nd half of the screen. You can move the middle of the screen to change how much each app takes up of your screen. EVE doesn't love this but you can monitor your EVE account keep it active and then just slide to make the EVE app take up 100% of the screen basically returning you to full screen and closing your youtube video quickly if you need to bail because a neutral just warped into your anom or whatever. If you just need to switch rocks the UI should still be responsive enough even while squished to do that. You must tab the app's icon not the app window on the alt tab for the first program to engage split screen, the second one you have to tab the window like you are selecting it. It's rather awkward and not intuitive at all.

Whenever I restore EE from a split-screen, the whole interface scales weird and I can't really do anything. I always have to restart it after.

If that happens just minimizing to the home menu and opening again usually fixes the UI and the game is still where you left it. Not good for PvP though! I get a messed up UI sometimes after opening chat but not actually chatting (like type something then the person leaves to I delete it then close) the UI buttons like chat and ship mods are at mid screen and my target list is off the screen making it a horrid mess. I find it restores properly if I hold it in landscape and have them side by side it get's messy if they are on top and bottom. Where you split matters!

It was because I was combining ship check boxes with standing check boxes and thinking they could correlate. Then I had Big McHuge share an overview with me and I investigated the magic. I can now also see enemy drones which is a big win.

The invulnerability timer is in the game when undocking but you only get this timer if you do nothing but undock. If you undock via autopilot or manually undock then press autopilot right after, your ship is going to be doing things while you're loading into space and the station campers make a meal out of your ship.

Quick PSA, you can make the new BC combat effective comparable to a T6 Cruiser with just Tech 3/4 skills, a couple days to a week of training (depending on your SP rate), and a few million to pay for the skills. Shield Operation (for a shield booster), afterburner (if you're going to fit one), and Medium Decomposser Operation/Upgrade (when you can get it) will get you most of the benefit you can. It will be slow, you'll have to watch the capacitor usage (probably going to want to fit a battery), and it will feel weaker than it should, all because you can't train the battlecruiser skills but it works for T5 missions at least. Also, as noted earlier, don't take it anywhere in null. Once you hit Tech 5 you can mitigate some of the cap problems with medium NOS, but it works before then. If nothing else it makes for a super easy and quick dual-box alt for running missions. Edit: I didn't try it yet but even if you lose the ship and thus need to use another weapon system on the replacement hull it should still be comparable to a trainer cruiser at the minimum, and would only get better as you skill up. nessin fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Sep 11, 2020 |

I just don't think it's worth risking losing the thing by taking it out even with a great fit without battlecruiser skilling. The thing takes almost 9 seconds to warp out currently, and considering it's pretty much a glass cannon anyway, that's why the killmails on them are racking up since yesterday. Wait until T7 to train into it and reduce the risk of losing it to something avoidable, as far as I'm aware we have no idea when or where we'll be able to get another one of these things for a long time.

Yeah it's got something like 6k base shields and 2k armor. Kill the shields and it pops in a hurry. And since most goons tend to shoot lasers...

The thing takes almost 9 seconds to warp out currently, and considering it's pretty much a glass cannon anyway, that's why the killmails on them are racking up since yesterday. I said don't take it into null. Also I said great for encounters. How are you going to lose it in an encounter? None of the currently available ones have tacklers, but even if they did (or you use it for a story mission), you can just be pre-aligned and warp out before they get in range. It isn't rocket science to be perfectly safe while using it. Nation of Thizzlam posted:I always forget about insurance. Either way yeah you lose the good decomposers and then either have to use the civilian ones or buy new ones at an absurd price. Still don't really think it's worth risking it from being underskilled. It's not going to beat out a regular battlecruiser. The thing is great because it requires fewer skills to work with (well, I suppose also being free). If you're not selling the decomposers then you shouldn't be that worried about losing them because when you actually want to fly a battlecruiser in PvP, you'll want to fly something else anyways. As for skills, the whole point of my post was to use on an unskilled alt as an easy entry into cruiser content before the alt could otherwise do cruiser content.

You get a full set of the decomposers when you do the insurance claim so you don't lose them, ever, as far as I can tell from getting blown up in both the Chinese ships

It just takes a few days to reach 4/3 in both operation and upgrade skill in a different weapon system. Until you're flying ships with an Advanced weapon hull bonus that gets you to as effective as most people will get until they start training long haul skills. And if you actually have been hyper focused on Amarr ships, you're so far ahead of the game compared to most players that even if there was a disadvantage to it, which there isn't really, you'd still be stronger just by virtue of having several laser 5 skills.

Amarr ships are the second fastest and got a decent speed boost from eo. Good against the caldari shield meta. The damage and range is fine on lasers, specifically the short range medium lasers are better than other short range weapon types and cap use is manageable with ship bonuses without a lot of skill investment. Lasers, Amarr wrecks, blueprints, datacores, and most armor tanking items are cheap. Armor repairers have lower cap use/more efficiency than shield boosters. The maller is good for alpha clones, and doesnt need expensive medium drones. The game is only 4 weeks old and they are giving out free sp, and no need for racial hull skills. So you can cross train easily. Cyclone looks really strong
