this is the orca from the above salt: and the next day i got another orca in the exact same way:  these harebrained solo syndicate miners are super skittish, instant cloak/dock when a neut enters local. so i just idled a very neutral alt with no honk connections in local for a few days until they got tired of not mining and asked the alt to go blue. both times i ended up killing the orca with a blue bubble within 15 minutes of going “blue” lol

Hmm I guess I’ll download this and see if it’s playable on my phone. Need a new time waster In as Frank_Frank. Ran through the tutorial. Set a bunch of skills to train and logged off. Just like old-Eve Double edit: so where do I buy skill books? I have like, frigate defense and some other lame frigate skill and absolutely nothing else. Are AHACs still a thing? Maurauding in a vagabond was probably the most fun I ever had in Eve. Triple edit: are implants still a thing? I would imagine I’m going to need some learning implants if I’m gonna get up to speed here. Also no learning skills now? Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Jul 20, 2022 |

Maurauding in a vagabond was probably the most fun I ever had in Eve. Skill books don't exist (except to give a few levels in certain skills as mission rewards), you just pay ISK through the skills screen for the first level of each skill. Implants and learning skills don't exist, as well as many other things I'm told exist in EO (ammunition, scripts, highsec ganking, etc.)

Is there a way to see a list of all available skills I can train? I remember some of what I want but not having any sort of skill tree and just having to search for everything really sucks.

there are SP/min chips but they are permanent for your char regardless of how many times you get podded. and there’s a Switch button at the top of the skill UI that puts you in a more organized skill tree vs the stupid career path default mode

FWIW destroyer training is kinda worthless outside of interdictors, but frigate skills are always useful, cruisers are kinda useful especiall at low tech levels, then its kind of your playstyle at higher tech levels if you do bs or bc

I’m still slogging through training missions. I need to move to our space at some point. I don’t see jump clone options so I’m guessing I’m just going to have to fly there? I don’t have much need for isk yet outside of skill books and the aforementioned chip booster thingies. Edit: Welp, I managed to break the training missions somehow by spending skill points I had before I hit the tutorial to spend them. Now I'm stuck because it won't let me progress until I spend skill points to expedite a skill (which I have already spent). A+ job CCP.

Some quick questions: 1) Direct control over your ship seems to not be a thing, is that right? I can't poke the screen and tell the ship to "go here". Orbit distance doesn't seem to be a thing either. I can tell the ship to "orbit enemy <x>" but there's no range option. If that's the case it's going to make certain ganking styles difficult if not impossible. 2) Are shuttles immune to bubbles now? I think I heard that somewhere. Are there even shuttles? How should I get to our space? 3) If anyone wants to send me AUR/ISK for the skill booster thingies, my character name is Frank_Frank (someone took Frank Frank  )4) Did they monkey with ship names for some reason? Ex: Kestrel (T1 frigate) and Manticore (T2 stealth bomber) still exist and although the Condor still exists, the Crow does not? Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Jul 20, 2022 |

Like everyone complains about the rifter and how it essentially doesn't exist

Edit: Looks like at tech level V I can buy a Follow-up question - Back in old-eve (if I remember right), you had to buy a special type of cloaking device for CovOps ships. Is that still the case or can I slap any cloak on it? Double Edit: NM, I found them. God the market search function is broken as hell.

Redmark posted:Autopilot travel is (practically) impervious in lowsec for most ships. For nullsec it depends on the area; you may get hit by bubble camps, but for relatively cheap ships people often roll the dice yes. Once at tech level 8 you can travel offline in an interceptor and be fully safe. Eh, I'll just jump in a kestrel and autopilot and see what happens Edit: died and podded lol Round 2 I’m going to go the long way to stay in lowsec for as long as possible.

This was a minor incident relative to all the other exploits of the thread. But during a gatecamp of some douchebags, a sniping tornado was talking mad poo poo in local. Called my stabber out as a target in local, warped in and attacked me. I hit my shield booster at exactly the right time and then jumped out. Had I not trained cruiser defense I would absolutely have died. I escaped with 14% struct, he lost his 300m tornado:

Is there any way to set your default orbit distance? It’s annoying as hell to have to reset it after every kill when my ship decides for whatever reason that 5km is a really good orbit distance for a medium missile boat. Also, do drones auto-recall on warp? Poking that tiny-rear end button is very difficult when half the time it brings up the drone itself rather than drone commands. Tech V and counting. Finishing up the advanced tutorial slog for the free SP and then moving to S-U permanently. Edit: Also, I absolutely love how cheap rigs are in Echoes.

And yes drones magically appear in your drone bay when you warp, no waiting required it's amazing. Also drone kiting is a great way to earn isk and it used to be a great way to make people VERY mad.
