There are some combat missions, the 100-150k variety, that have space rocks to eat. I dropped a Mammoth in one for a few hours and had a bunch of Pyr to turn in while I worked/parented.

Ask me about being a SJW in EE and working to make anyone who disagrees with me a villain and gets no opportunity to defend themselves at all because my army or sycophants I buy off with pixels follows me blindly.

Retrievers might make it possible to live in nullsec

Uhh I'm pretty sure "Paki" is quite often used a pejorative.

Pakistan translates to "land of the Pakis" or more literal Paki land. "Stan" is a turkish word that means land, so Uzbeki land, Paki land, Afghani land, etc...


Did they change the buy orders from 30 days to 6 days... They sure love to make marketeering more difficult.

Stupid newbie questions.

I mostly want to solo gank miners and farmers, and occasionally join goon groups. I had planned to do this in frigate.

The wiki doesn't mention frigates anywhere, are they useless?

Should I do my ganking in something else?

Is it feasible to spec for frigates and cruisers on the same goose, or should I make an alt? (I think I know this one)

Can you easily transfer things between alts in this game?

Each of the 4 main faction's tier 4 frigates are pretty good for ganking poorly equipped folks, pick one you already have the weapon systems trained for (or experiment) and go nuts. the reason you probably won't see any builds posted is because they have so few slots, that there isn't much room to swap things in and out for, they're mainly all 2/2/2, which you'd have 2 of the short ranged bonus'd weapons in (pulse/snubs/auto/torps) then 2x warp disruptors in mid/1 afterburner +1 repairer/booster or 1 plate/shield extender

so I attempted to get bluestacks and start up a pvp alt, but it gave me low memory warnings and attempted to light my pc on fire.

Linguistically yes, but why don't you try going around calling people of Japanese or Jewish descent by a similarly contracted version of their nationalities and see what happens.

Personally, I don't think it'll go over very well.

The denotation is fine and good for what it is, but that's not the connotation. Like, you can still look up bitch in the dictionary and still see the first definition say "female dog." That's not how the word is used in practice, it's a pejorative. Just like how "paki" is usually used, it's used a slur. So yeah, don't try to argue denotation when talking about connotation, defending words that are actively used as a slur is not a good look.

I use MEmu and have had success running it on a crappy thinkpad. I don't multibox though, so others may have better options.

Try LDPlayer. Way better performance and graphics for me personally as a 4x multiboxer. I do have regular virtualization enabled though (not hyper-v)

I got a Venture I in Alikara I can contract you, what's your IGN ? Generally speaking hi-sec belt are swarmed with bots in retrievers and mass harvesting everything faster than you can warp there. It's not as AFK friendly as you wish it were for a mobile game, unless you're ready to mine a bunch of systems away from the popular spots. Belts respawn automatically once they've been mined out and no one is sitting there AFK.

Hey thanks for the offer. I'm pretty sure I can get something from my corp (honk) because I've heard a lot about free starter ships but I haven't really looked into that too much yet since I've mostly just been AFK playing while working.

Just get free ships, order free ships, get a V3 if you want to mine or like anything else if you don't. Ships are free how many times do I have to say this.

Back in the day I would just buy the pyro and turn it in to the missions, the ore price was like half the mission payout. Was good for afking three characters during the day. Then hisec anoms came about and holy poo poo that's so much better.

while I wait on tech level 5 to complete what are my best isk earning options? I've been chilling out in hisec anomolies but I only see level 3 ones mostly so I'm just kinda gathering bounties and testing out my ships to understand whats going on, trying to find Pyro at .5 has mostly been a bust for me. Does it matter a ton or should I just keep hitting missions when I see them if it's stuff I haven't cleared? My income is pretty low but also I don't understand what I want to buy yet anyway so I dunno if it matters much anyway.

Regarding the mining I don't know how good the systems we rat in are for mining but I'd be happy to roll on the spot defense together with mining.. Many of us carry at least a point now.

Anecdotal but I don't know that the spawn rate dropped significantly. Couple it with a doubling of Minmatar datacores and overall less competition for them, seems like an overall neutral change for me.

In your case it really doesn’t matter much. If you are in Corp, once you hit t6, you can get free ships for ratting, mining in null or even for running story missions. At t5 I wouldn’t stress too much about making isk. Can also try base busting with a frigate for Corp bounties I guess.

So to give a breakdown of what happened last night.

We had intel that it was possible they could destroy their own station, but it didn't happen. We had some people on the station recording in case it did. That would've been great.

We flew up with our ventures and Vexors and OB$ hit us, who we completely wrecked. We destroyed multiple Moa Guardians and some faction frigs, killmails are in the channel.

We then hit up 3jn9 and did our mining thing, while we killed a few SFI's that were trying to do their PI hauling.

We took a bunch of pics and everyone was drunk and had fun.

We had a huge metric ton of salt from reddit, with Tahini declaring in SirMolles voice that goons would never hold sov. It was super hilarious.
