I'm confident their plan is to wait for :ccp: to announce they are shutting down the servers for good. at T minus 3 minute, they will all log on, jump out of system and vily/PGL will announce mission success just as :ccp: is flipping the off switch.

Was doing some faction warfare last night, I am a bit of a newbro, especially as I did a lot of mining skills in the early days so for one round of fighting I grabbed the trusty Griffin as they were bringing logi frigs to the plex.

For the first time I've ever seen, all 4 of my jams stuck on their logi and their fleet melted. Glorious :D Also they had funky reppers which I managed to loot which will pay for my frigates for a few weeks on their own. The eve gods were smiling on me last night :D

I met Schad for dinner and drinks years ago when he had a layover in my area (along with Percelus who turned out to be my roommate's brother; small world). A great guy and his loss is heartbreaking.

RFC2324 posted:

It drives me nuts that almost every 'make isk' guide starts with 'have 30 million sp and/or several billion isk'

I wish one of the people who knows all the money making inside and out would roll a new character, and do the money making bit with no outside support (like being bankrolled by their main) and figure out an isk making for idiot newbies guide.

I can't ask for people to subsidize my attempts to figure poo poo out, the only thing I ever made isk at in this game was ratting in delve with a carrier or an isktar, and it took 5 years of grinding to get to having those. I'm too old for 5 years of grinding

I ran four calm dark abyssals in a newbie fit. Made 9m isk in 30 minutes dumping to buy orders using this alpha friendly kestrel fit https://abyss.eve-nt.uk/fit/822. Couple times my shield got low enough I'm not sure an alpha skill-capped character would have survived. I don't know how long it takes to venture mine 7m takes, but it's bootstrappable for a newbie.

Seems easy enough for a newbie to get into. Couple gently caress yous from CCP.

1) You need three filaments to open the site, even alone. Fine, lesson learned. Picked up an 18 pack of filaments in Jita and left again to spawn the sites in a 150au system so no one could see me dscan. Not necessary in my 7m kestrel, but seemed like a good idea.

2) The fits are incredibly site specific. Filaments drop for other types of sites, but no way you can spend the evening just flowing from one to the next. Instead, enjoy running the same dungeon 40x straight. Something I don't think would be horrible at higher tiers, but at newbie level it's not very interesting or dynamic when each room has one or two rats.

IF I REPORT SOMETHING, BAN ME.
Everyone keeps saying how easy the initial abyssals are, but if you are running at t1 fit frigate it is totally possible to die. Use some caution, you will likely have to make sure you are flying at an angle to the bigger rats so its harder for their guns to hit you.

I died in 0 level abyssal with a t1 destroyer...

I had an autocannon destroyer cobbled together from newbie stuff, and since I got a dark abyssal for free from the newbie bonuses, I decided to try it mostly blind... turns out the rats inside happily kited me, and to hit them I had to feather mwd to get in close range, but mwd ate up my cap so I couldn't shield rep :v:

What really annoys me though, is two things

1) my account is too new to be on singularity, so I cannot test anything there
2) I am not sure where to pop the abyssals to not get ganked by an enemy... 1dq and neighbouring systems are super busy, and I definitely don't want to make a high sec alt for this just yet.

It really is a lovely hat

Just make an alpha clone alt that you refer yourself. Everyone should have an alpha clone they refer and just stick any random fitting skills in queue and update when it’s convenient. Eventually you’ll want an alt and it’s simpler to just set one training and forget it ahead of time. Worst case, you extract it later.

get a jump clone in jita and set your death clone to 1dq. Means you can jump to jita to get your ship and abysal and then deathclone back to 1dq for ops

Infomorph Synchronizing skill cuts your jump clone timer down below 24 hours. You can jc to Jita and mess around in high sec for the night. When you log in the next night your jump clone timer is ready to go if you need to be back in Delve.

do not do this you will die.

people always scan down filament sigs. the only time ive gotten ganked running filaments was when i was being too clever by half and either running them off grid and away from other people, or in space where people can (read: will) blast you for being a war target. in my guide i was very unambiguous that the place to do these is on grid with people who want to kill poo poo. the filament is an object that is warpable for everyone on grid with it, so if you run them even in M2- friendlies will respond to one or two assholes thinking they're gonna get you when you come out.

It's a crappy mechanic that t0 sites aren't full blown tutorials and instead leave new players podded back to station without any idea what they did wrong.

I totally agree. There should have been an NPE style tutorial that yoy jump into by doing the T0 filaments, with that computer chick explaining what to do and how but :ccp:

the skill point requirement for low tier is extremely low, but you still have to have a lot of understanding of all the mechanics. :(

If you're going to run an abyssal in highsec, find a VERY quiet deadend system. Don't buy expensive ships in jita with your main. Build a hauler alt and get them in a Transport Ship so you can haul expensive poo poo and not get caught unless you afk or something equally stupid.

Don't make a high sec hauler alt. Use courier contracts. Pubbies will haul your poo poo for like 5M isk/hr.
