Colin Mockery posted:What level of skills do you need for that? I am dumb and bad at internet spaceships, but I have a maller now and want that sweet, sweet mission isk. I have 5/3 in Medium Laser Operation, 4/3 in Medium Laser Upgrade, 5/3 in Target Management, 5/3 in Cruiser Engineering, 5/3 in Cruiser Command. Those 5s could easily be 4s for this. The Maller is naturally tanky enough that you shouldn't need huge armor skills, but they couldn't hurt. If you've never done Beam Maller before, try it out on everyday missions first to get the hang of range. You can press-and-hold your laser in combat to see its optimal range and fallout, then turn on one Tracking Computer and hold the laser again to see the adjusted range, then with two. That'll give you an idea of what your practical ranges are with your own skill ratings. Generally speaking, very little will even damage you at ~40km. Most ships will creep towards you slowly, and if you're warping in from a sufficient distance and keeping your distance they'll start way too far away to touch you. So you watch for anything that's streaking towards you with Elite in the title, and kill them first, as those might have Scrams on board or do substantial damage up close. If multiple ships start getting too close, either Approach -> 100km and turn on your Afterburner to regain space or warp out and heal. Meanwhile, you can use one TC at a time to cause substantial damage at a 40-60km range, and you'll learn which ship types can actually hit you from out there (Myrmidons come to mind). If you find yourself taking damage rapidly, you probably have multiple elites that snuck in close. Warp out ASAP. But watch your icons for inflicted status (above bottom center) to make sure nothing's scramming you, so that you won't be scrammed in that instance. Absorb and Neut are mostly harmless because you're too far out for their NOSes et al. to take effect. With this method, the Elites are the only real dangers if you keep your distance. You'll settle into a rhythm of killing one ship at a time at about 40-50km, then wait for the next to move into range, then repeat. It's more tedious than anything else because there'll be a conga line of 20-30 ships waiting to die single-file. delfin fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Sep 21, 2020 |

delfin posted:If you set your Maller up with pulse lasers and a plate or two, you can wade in and tank your way through T6 and T7 missions with ease, maybe with one runaway break. If you set it up with beam lasers, three Tracking Computers and an armor repairer for patchwork, you can take out the first tier of story missions solo (Spark of Rebellion, For Freedom, For Patriotism, Super Soft Drink). Single plate, dual rep dual nos dual heat sink pulse maller will clear spark of rebellion, for patriotism and super soft drink fairly easily. Warp in at 70km and pop everything that comes within 25km, final waves might require a bit of attention and aligning to station /gate to keep the extra range from the slower pac of rats while you deal with elites. The minmatar t6 'for freedom' can also be soloed in the same fashion but can get a little dicey at times due to explosive resist hole. 99% of the time its only the elite destroyers that scram, and from up to 25km, deal with those first followed by elite cruisers and you are golden. I've also solo cleared divine redemption with that maller setup, took a while with a few warp outs but its more than possible. If you buy the spark books, it's more profitable to just run spark than to mess around with the t8s

Well, Toilet Eve is a success, I guess. Multiple systems in Metropolis and The Forge are at their 1000 player limit, and the neighboring systems have 600 people sitting on each feeder gate ( this is at 2pm Pacific time). Travel in the area is impossible without adding 30 jumps on every trip. I guess I’ll do missions later!

We've been working on discord/corp authentication for the past week or so and been giving regular announcements that people need to register with a discord bot so we know that characters belong to who they said they belong to in their applications, that people have SA accounts, etc. Like at least half a dozen announcements. It has been extremely clear to anyone who has been paying the slightest bit of attention that in order to stay in corp they need to type a single line of text to a bot, it's not hard at all. Today finally was the day that the trigger got pulled on removing discord roles from people who hadn't signed up for the bot. Within a few hours, dozens of complaints came in to leadership by people who had no idea whatsoever that they were supposed to authenticate with the bot and are very mad that they had their access removed until they fix the problem. Never change, goons.

Honestly if there's any important channel to read it's announcements. I wouldn't have known T6 ships were free otherwise. Did the first part of Spark of Rebellion, and holy poo poo, having 13(?) ships thrown at me was unexpected. Definitely had to use pulse lasers for tracking speed. The warp-out-warp-in-at-100km trick was pretty much obligatory. Gonna try strapping on an armour plate and probably another armour hardener.

They're big games of Cat and Mouse, you draw them out slowly and make them take damage, then when they rubber band back to the group, fire an afterburner and chase them until they come out again. They just take time. Just coax the elites out first (they should be more aggressive to come for you also), even the cruisers. Definitely ensure the elite frigs/destroyers die first as they can Warp Scram ($$). I've ended up 200km from the warp point plenty of times. If anything, Sparring Trial (Caldarri news quest) is harder than the T6 story quests.

Corp theft is still alive and well in toilet EVE. Turns out pubbies have no idea how to set hanger roles. They even had hanger 2 fully wide open. I didn't have to do anything, I just joined their corp, warped to their HQ, and looted away.  Gotta love free isk. Now I just need to figure out how to get it off this character lol.

The best way is to hang out with our rat group and then just buy them after a night of ratting. Or you can hang with PvP group tell them you'd like some points and you'll probably get the first 2 pointer that an enemy drops, or just fire at what other people have pointed.

I ended up following the instructions and authing properly anyways but after several of you started getting accusatory, nothing was good enough. Dissecting my post history to see if i was an Authentic® Certified© Goon™, accusing me of stealing SA accounts, interrogating me as to who I knew and when, and other crazy poo poo. I guess it's a pretty horrible offense if nostalgia brought you back, which used to be acceptable but apparently is now a fatal cultural impurity hurf blurf. I was the spymaster in our Second Galaxy corp while we were waiting for Echoes to come out. I pulled off the first cap ship theft in that game with my alt ProfessorStupid while also making that game horribly unplayable for pubbies at the start of this year. Blake was asking me for spy help in DMs hours before he joined in the dogpile and I'm not even sure if he realized he was both attacking and asking for help from the same person, which is a great start for any fledgling intelligence agency! I'm not mad so much as I am weirded out by the suddenness and the level of hostility last night. It looks like I'm explicitly banned from the discord now and can't rejoin, so if any goons in other alliances reading this need a spymaster I'm a free agent now. And Darius JOHNSON was a better CEO than The Mittani ever was or will be. We should have kept our "no mittanis allowed" policy instead of seeking his blessing for this corp.

No one in this corp asked for anyone's blessing, that was some Val poo poo with his group of non SA people that call themselves goons. I think you're looking for them not us. We want don't want a connection with EO goons, both just used the SA forums as a recruitment base that's the only thing in common.

So yeah, I was super engaged with the corp. I didn't exactly have the Discord permissions to catch up on messages in the announcements channel to figure out what was going on at that point. Go look up my chat history in that server before making dumb accusations. And while you're at it, tell BlunderBuss I can't help him with his mission today because I'm allegedly not active enough.

If you're comparing Gooseflock to Goonewaffe I was denied entry to Goonwaffe because I wasn't interested in doing the truffle shuffle to get in. My post count is poo poo and may continue to be because of Reddit. I'm glad to hear about your space nostalgia. Im sure this game will be similar to EO in that reading about it is more entertaining than actual doing it. So in closing if you need help using Discord ask in chat.

You messaged me. I told you to get a vouch. Seems like there's a few people who might have been willing. You'd probably be in the alliance right now if they'd just vouched for you. Instead you started going off about "its been more than a decade do you think we all still have our SA accounts," bragging about something you did in some other lovely game, and telling us someone we banned two weeks ago is the reason you found our discord in the first place. edit: "i don't actually remember any of you guys from the beta or SG days" LOL no poo poo dude why are you here Alligator Tower fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Sep 23, 2020 |
