but real talk: I did the whole null thing for a couple months. I can't do heavy TiDi battles. I like my w space nano/small gang bullshit.

The other day we took drakes out, in tyol 2021, and hand a proper brawl. It was great.

Yeah agreed, I don’t do the tidi stuff either. I just like that I can use dictors because in low sec people use exclusively the kitiest most non committal garbage imaginable and it’s hard to force them to fight

as far as we know, min mil are actively trained into running the plexes for the LP and fighting is something you need to avoid to successfully collect LP... so annoying... had to scan someones safe down, camp on it and chase them to their own safe this morning... stupid

yeah the FW boys will either run as soon as you're on short or do things like punch into a small with six or seven thrashers. their intent is definitely not to fight so you've gotta grab them in the opens or moving between systems.

Managed to find a pretty good miner for a good price. I'm guessing the miner strategy is find an oblivious pubbie corp in high sec to infiltrate, be a good little miner and maybe one day rob the corp blind? Is that what high sec miners do?

Mining is about isk per effort. Orcas are used because they're harder to gank than a mining barge and the ore hold means you can go several hours without having to empty your hold. It only demands a few seconds of attention to reassign drones every now and then as the rocks deplete.

Just make sure to check for pirate strongholds and for drifters on dscan. The game doesn't tell you but those 2 things will 100% get an orca killed.

Oh yeah, but those only spawn at downtime (I think?) so as long as you check before you go out you're good for the rest of the day.

Easy marks, that's why.

Also, its fun getting advice about mining from this thread, who a year ago would have made fun of you for thinking of mining. Admittedly, mining sucked before the changes and wasn't worth your time unless you rolled like 12 alts deep with a Rorqual supervising. Funny how times change.

I'm all about easy, nearly risk free money generating so i'm happy about the changes. Having one alt make money to prop the other one up in ships is about as high effort as I want to get.

I remember very fondly about some goobers in one of the corps being angry that I was mining rocks in "their" highsec system. It was kf I think? Threatening diplo action if I remember correctly.

Yeah, you check the system once and you're set. Like I said nothing in the game tells you these things are out there. Even Googling things didn't turn up much about it. A buddy lost an Orca to pirates and I lost 2 Procurers one to pirates one to drifters. I came here after we lost stuff to pirates and found out about strongholds then I died again and people were like "oh yeah drifters too"

FOR ME TO POOP ON

It's been so long since I've seen that and I'm probably a terrible person for recognizing where it came from.

I haven't played eve for like 6 months or so. Been so tied up with real life. I got all 5s in all amarr dreadnaught skills that I will probably never use again (including the jump drive skills). Is there any point to living in a wormhole now other than blue loot? And last I heard they removed almost everything resembling actual mining from wormholes so they can't get ore for refining and manufacturing what they need. That and I don't know if they can get the cores nessicary for citadels into wormholes anymore.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.

ShowTime posted:

So it kind of sounds like the way to really make money now is mining, which years ago was laughed at when people talked about money generating. Further than that, its to have an alt that just mines in high sec to pay for one character to lose ships. In which case, I need to buy a mining alt. Unfortunately the character bazaar is pretty dead, so i'll have to keep hunting for one.

Or, instead of paying the $120 for a year sub on a mining alt, save yourself the hassle and just buy a grip of plex and sell them for isk

You can have the mining alt pay for its own omega through skill extraction.

No, you see Goons are extremely stupid and don't see how much of an advantage they have. If PGL was here to lead us we would have won a long time ago.

That sounds very much like Min Mil and that must suck for you, we get exemption from the gate guns which is nice.

I use a little pocket in high sec and there is a dude that lives there called "Jita's supreme leader" or something - anyone that goes on 'his' belt he threatens to gank in local. Someone in my corp told me they used to mess with him so he pays us to leave him alone now

High sec is a weird place :D
