Baculus posted:I genuinely don't know what people could do in hi sec that is somehow more lucrative than null the only good thing about hi sec is things like afk mining, which are lucrative in an attention sense, not a financial sense. there isn't really anything comparable you can do 99% afk in null, unless you're in an alliance that pays afk cloakers for some reason I guess

I just roam around looking for targets to gank, can flip, ninja salvage whatever coms across my path. I gather hate mails this way they are my precious. Before the covid and probaly after it is gone, i could not be online for like hours at a time. Due to real life. So joining fleets is difficult if you constantly are needed in the house. Killing high sec players I can do in my own time always.

It's as if have no idea what they're doing. Artificially destroy the game economy, then they'll hammer on a "fix" that'll make it worse, while trying to tie in the Triglavian lore into it for added immersion.

That's actually pretty funny. It begs for a post in GBS about seeing the errors of one's ways by mining in high sec.

reactions require roughly 5b initial startup costs i can leave an orca in highsec afk mining in 15min increments for 8h while i am working from home and bring in more than had i not been doing that, then after im done with work, dock the orca and go do abyssals and restart my reactions

Baculus posted:I genuinely don't know what people could do in hi sec that is somehow more lucrative than null I mean you wrote the book on abyssals - an alt in hisec results in many fewer losses while we have such lovely neighbors in Delve. Sadly it's another "rich get richer" fact of CCP's famine meta. I've got combat pilots in Delve for the way, and I've got orca miner + abyssal running alts in hisec. It's lucrative and safe, but requires a herd of alts trained up over years. There's a real ceiling for "I have 0 or 1 alts and want to live in nullsec" income potential right now, and I don't think it's healthy.

How dangerous is slowboating a freighter anywhere but a few jumps from Jita? I know gankers love to pop pinatas outside of the station and gates, but how prevalent are they, say, two jumps away? Like if I were to autopilot an ore hauler to three jumps away and then use a webbing alt and direct jumps to finish the run, is this feasable?

Do a few jumps while babysitting and ask yourself if you feel safe with that much is floating in space for that long.

There is a stickied post in Home Ec helpfully entitled "[PSA for Highsec Haulers] How NOT to get ganked in highsec" - go read it if you have access The danger level goes up with the value of your cargo and as the security of the systems you're piloting through drops. If you're too goddamned lazy to move your webber 3 extra jumps, then you're gonna eat poo poo eventually and you'll deserve it.

I used to play EVE back in 07/08, but haven't touched it since then. Figured I might pick it up and see if playing with goons this time around would make it more fun. I sent in a new member application to newbies@, but I have a couple of questions: 1) Will my app get tossed because I look like a spy or something? My SA account was inactive from 2009 till like December/January when I came back and started posting again, but I just realized after I sent in my app that this might look very suspicious? Definitely not a spy, but wouldn't really know how to prove that  2) Is it possible to play EVE 'casually' in its current state? How involved do I have to be to have fun with it nowadays?

There's plenty of stuff to do if you don't have the time or patience for 8 hour tidi hellslugs. Plenty of quick, fun fleets go out throughout the day and there are multiple friendly groups doing small gang stuff on the periphery of Delve. Now is a great time to come back. We have human content living on our literal doorstep.

It gave me the incentive to finally train up capitol skills, I got a low pressure environment to practice using fighters, and it was decent Isk and just interesting enough to not hate it. It was the first time in this game where I actually thought I'd be able to start earning enough to get a super. Then the one-two punch of blackout and the cyno changes.

The issue here is that I've found a quiet system with a ton of belts about a dozen jumps from Jita. But maybe the system is quiet because it sucks to haul poo poo that far.

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:I miss carrier ratting. Same, but titan ratting. Titan 1 I built myself, titan 2 I bought by ratting in titan 1. Dualboxing titan ratting was the best money just about possible in the game at the time and it was great. I think my best hour was on the order of 2.1bil cash, and it was so easy to do. When the killed it with the bfg nerf I had the cash to buy 2 more hulls but wanted to build up a deeper dread cache so I bought like 12 dreads and a bunch of faxes and carriers instead of a titan. Now with incomes nerfed and titans through the roof pricewise I'll never have a levi or a bus  E: and my dreads just sit in 1dq every big fight never undocking. Meanwhile I apparently should have been buying extra supers because my super pilot gets used all the time
