Getting the second volume of Empires of Eve?

Wait, there's a second volume? I just finished reading the first one recently, so that's perfect timing. I guess I'll be keeping an eye on Amazon and seeing when the Ebook comes out.

Returning after a long time is interesting in that you have the skill points and knowledge to fly fancy ships but not the knowledge to not lose them like an idiot because you don't understand tethering mechanics.

Looks like we killed 1 more Dreadnought (18 to 17) but lost nearly an entire Rokh fleet. Anaconda dropped 50 dreads so they committed to winning the battle. Timeline indicates most of then Battleships died after the capital ship fight. Props to Anaconda for winning the battle, and AFAIK, the objective too.

Illectro shilling for the mobile game made me lose at Eve after 5 years away. My old corp has mostly gone off and joined HORDE, and they're trying to get me to do the same. Is that good? Bad? Somewhere else entirely?

we are fighting a war against them so it is bad and you should join goonswarm instead. they seem competent at least, which can't be said about the other two major alliances that are attacking goons.

I hope not. Anaconda are setting up several industrial citadels to make caps by the hundreds every week in querious so I hope that the leadership are fully prepared to go all in. Their membership certainly are.

NGC773 posted:

The issue with BDAC (Big Dick Anaconda Coalition) is that it is a collection of coalitions. Whereas the Imperium is a coalition in the real sense with unified comms/structure. So everything is harder to coordinate at all levels.

Panfam does their thing, TEST does their thing, BRAVE do their thing. It all needs to be coordinated.

The Anacondas have only been in Querious for the last week. Brave may have been here for 3 months but not the entire team.

Panfam just wanted to glass Fountain as a "gently caress you for co2"

Come to Querious there are several BD Anaconda full fleets out every evening covering entosising and shooting structures.

NGC773 posted:

Hence why anaconda need a solid base to stage out of, that will be querious. Once Querious is glassed then the entire effort can be put on Delve.

NGC773 posted:

tbh the whole anaconda brand is more you guys than us. Some nerd said it once on talking in stations and the other presenters kept repeating it and now it's spammed all over reddit by imperium line members.

I guess this is good meta play by the imperium. You're named us after a loving snake.

EDIT: "Big Dick Anaconda Coalition"

From all the activity I have seen no one in legacy, PanFam and friends use it. So i would not be surprised if it dies out over the next few weeks once all it’s meme potential has dried up.

I think you can get a free jump freighter full of your most favorite junk if you're just joining but otherwise sell everything and buy it again in 1DQ1. You'll actually probably make a profit, since most things are currently importing for a loss.

I just came back to Goons and everyone above me is right - the 1DQ market is hilariously well stocked with modules and ships and for anything we use on fleets the prices are cheaper than Jita (and to a lesser extent, contracts - recommend using the "Auto Buy" option instead to save some money)

Freight costs using shipping services to 1DQ are higher now than in the past - really recommend ditching anything and tossing them in Jita/Perimeter.

Dreadnaughts have become very powerful in the current state so it doesn't take enormous fleets to kill a lone Titan if you use dreads. Also 25% of the damage as well as the killing blow was provided by a Titan DD, which does a poo poo ton of damage on its own.

He got wacked by an opposing titan and a bunch of dreads (capital ships that specialise in hitting slow/stationary targets). If the titan pilot is solo they can be overwhelmed by a dreadnought bomb like that.
