How is CCP this incompetent? If it wasn't for the war I would deffo win EVE again because what's left to do in null sec? The worst part is you know that CCP 100% believes that scarity is the reason we have the big rear end war currently

I am confused by the purpose of the CSM. I was in a threadnought during t20 and saw some good changes, but I don't get it now.

Edit: :ccp: managed to nerf threadnoughts by adopting Jeff Snackwood's Discourse too. Lol, they really hate goons.

CSM has been ignored by CCP for years. It's only use now is sending some of our folks to iceland and pissing other people off by muscling our people on it.

How the gently caress are you supposed to raise ADMs in a constellation with no belts?

Are mining sites still tied to the belts and industry levels?

Ngl the fact that literal industry via production/reactions/research doesn’t affect the industry ADM has always been dumb as gently caress.

Same as things like hacking not affecting the pve ratting ADM or whatever.

ADMs are supposed to be indices of activity in a system but 90% of this game doesn’t count towards any index.

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"
I always thought Officer Spawns should be a super-ultra-rare escalation of anomalies anyway. Not something that appears in the anomaly and immediately destroys your ratting ship, but instead a "token" of sorts that you could activate (or sell) that spawns an instance of the officer at your leisure.

sometimes you just have to believe in yourself as you throw your ship into the teeth of the hated enemy over and over. lucky for us, the good guys, our opposition loves throwing 4 battleships, a hac, and a million billion cynabals into our disposable artillery... gently caress yeah

Fortunately you have to research them BPOs just once and after that they will serve you a lifetime but still costs can be insane sometimes.

I don't think we have enough insight to tell if those KPI incentives were realistic targets or stretch goals.

Burners in frigates seem interesting to me. Are they still economical?

I'd do abyssals, but I have poo poo luck so I never get decent drops. I've tried running T4s but I've barely broken even as eventually a room spawns that bends me over. I've tried with cookie cutter gilas and vagabonds.

Every time I see some dumb reddit post about the "siege" of 1dq my eyes roll with such speed that I become a human gyroscope.

I am a strategic genius and also siege a place by half-rear end guarding only one of the several entry/exit points with a guard force that can be sent scattering by a fistful of free corvettes, and ignore that the enemy can just fuckin teleport.

Last night we successfully camped both gates in T5Z with a thrasher fleet worth less than $50m total. We killed several ships on their keepstar including a tornado, it was fun. I get on 2-3 hot drop fleets a night in that lull right around downtime, and their ansiblex network creates tons of easy cloaky dictor camping locations. We’ve snagged a few freighters in the past week.

They’re really stretching out these final keepstars outside of the 1DQ constellation because it’s plainly obvious they can’t let us stay here, but they also can’t force us to go without sacrificing at least 30T in supercaps.

I really don't understand why they don't. I mean, they'll lose 30T in supers, but likely we will as well. Why *wouldn't* you want to be in a 60T battle? If they want to hurt us, losing 30T of supers will definitely hurt us.
