I have a bunch of caracals that were bequeathed to me that I can contract you for free in highsec if you want them. I don’t use missiles much

Implant materials(?) appear to be gathered via the “dormant realm” missions on the sidebar. Unfortunately, they look like they require a fleet to complete so ++for multi boxers I guess. Some of the implant effects are pretty crazy. You can view what they do in the implant menu.

The AUR/Top-up deal is p good if you are already paying for an omega sub assuming you buy it today. You get a fraction of your current SP every day for 30 days. In my case works out to be 1.6m + 500 AUR which you can use for your omega sub.

The core loot boxes are loving stupid. $100 USD for a battle cruiser nano core of my choice. I’ll pass. More than that for a BS.

Also the new music is pretty and reminds me of hollow knight :3:

I've cleared difficulty 1-3 of Tidal Lock with a machariel and vindi combo but difficulty 1 of Before the Abyss chewed me up and I barely got out.

I can fly a battlecruiser (poorly). I managed to clear the Sleeper concord encounter and got p much nothing for finishing it but by god, I finished it (by warping in at 100k, running in, dumping drones and then MWDing away screaming).

Lemme tell you, charging at Rokhs in my dumb rear end space penguin is not fun.

Final tally was 2 rokhs, a scorpion, a mess of BCs, destroyers covops and a couple frigs. Took me over an hour to finish lmao

This is how I used to clear t10 rat bases in a covops cruiser. Those last two waves are spicy when fresh.

The game does a really lovely job of explaining to you that you can warp to encounters at range. Once I was told I could do that, it got manageable. I tried to see what would happen if I stayed in gun range and just slugged it out with a rokh and it’s not terrible but it did (slowly) break my tank so I had to bug out. Scorpion had range issues so I didn’t have to run all that far away and rokh #3 turned out to be a torp rokh (???) which was a nasty surprise when I pulsed my MWD to close distance (but was otherwise fine).

Bait out destroyers and frigs outside BC/BS range. Then take out the cruisers and finally deal with the BCs/BSs. I used to do something like this in high level anomalies with a Raven back in EO but unlimited drone range is super nice.

Also re: the last 2 waves, they weren't that bad. By the time I got it down to the last BS I was MWDing hard to start the next group at 70+km out so it was just more of the same. I think I had a destroyer chase me once which actually saved some time.

It is about moving some triangles in empty space to remove triangles from empty space, this is pretty much Eve gameplay without the cash grabs.

Anyway, we dont know what kind of unpaid mechanical turk work we do for Netease and what kind of data they are processing, im sure it is not about labelling instant noodles packages.
