Silly goose, you're here forever.

The secret to being a goose isn't to be smart or good at eve, it's to be relentlessly aggressive until the things that are smarter or better run away.

Unfortunately that doesn't work when the thing is a large decaying tree stump.

Mifune also passed out at downtime during M2-XFE round 1, but had the main stream coverage feed so all anyone saw for a while was their black disconnect screen

I wish I had been around for m2, can't believe I also missed mifune's best stream

I was there in a Nyx when it kicked off, though I was actually playing Civ 4 when the first pings went out. I then stayed up until 3am UK in my Nyx not being able to shoot anything because I believe supercarriers were being used as a screen against a dreadbomb. I docked in Big's Disco Palace, went to bed, woke up at 8am, logged into jabber to find the battle still going on and that supers were now allowed to shoot things. In the end, I got on five or six titan kills, and in exchange for all of my T2 heavy fighters getting nuked

Heavy Missile Loki's are my favorite for blopsy stuff. I'll throw 9 of my dudes out in space all in Loki's when full tism'ing some hell camping or blackops oppression.

If I'm loving around and multiboxing then my go-to is the myrmidon. I'll put out 9 'herd'-myrms and a Huginn trigger. I have an Eos version of this set up but haven't tried it yet.

My favorite so far is my Slasher. I know it’s a t1 frigate (and a handout), but I’ve gotten a lot of practice manually closing (in first person camera view!) and the drat thing is faaaast!

Also, flying Slashers has taught me that losing a ship is no big deal, unlike every single MMO I’ve ever played. Unless you’re carrying 30b in cargo, that is…

Maybe it's my advancing years, but I can't fly anything fast in combat. Cruisers, HACs and (if anyone used them) BCs are right in that sweet spot. Battleships are slow as poo poo, but as I said up thread, get yourself a good FC who knows how to use them and they're loving great

zooming in fast as gently caress and locking someone down so that your bros can punch them in the face is legit one of the best feelings in the game and the reason i have interceptors 5 trained

never not go fast

Yeah, I have int iv and v in queue…and sometimes really do spiral in on approach in first-person view. Raw speed has let me get tackle more than once, but my ships get destroyed after that. It’s still fun as gently caress to be fast.

Sub caps cruiser and below are the epitome of fun in this dumb game. I didn’t answer the question because the answer literally changes year to year. I had a lot of fun in sabres, bombers, recons of all flavors and cynabals/Vagas.

I had a banger of a blops orthrus setup.

Edit: I will say I killed more people and isk value in sabres than anything else. Tackled several supers/titans and more small gang than you can shake a stick at.

People underestimate blaster ventures but they have a pretty good amount of dps. I’ve never tried a pvp endurance but I imagine it’s pretty good with like 3x the ehp.

They are. They're arguably the best ships in the game aswell because they can do so many different things for relarively low isk/skill investment, from wormhole krabbing, to nullsec deds, hihsec mission running, and triple ancil pvp vargurs, etc.

Abridged story is he was trying to do a drive by on crab beacons in 1dq1, so a hunting party was sent after him in NPC delve. Bumped off a second super when they jumped to their exit cyno, so couldn't get off the cyno grid, was decloaked by an observatory.

Attached is delve.imperium whilst this was happening. Glad something happens in autz...

Felt bad for the guy who lost his nag, but he was running crabs in 1dq so lol.

E: So yeah, 2 hels did a driveby on a dread running crabs in 1dq, one got killed, one got away is basically the full story.
