That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.

was running c5 sites solo for the first time today and after about a minute or so of fighting the drifter i start hearing alarms going off, turns out it was my cap going low. in a moment of clarity i realized i didnt switch back into my marauder clone after finishing rolling the holes. i popped all the drugs i had in my cargohold and a daily booster and managed to hold on until he warped off, but goddamn was that scary lmao

I’ve done this but fortunately noticed the extra damage I was taking from the waves prior to spawning the doriftu

C5 krabbing is great but you can lose billions with the smallest fuckup or just bad luck

I live alone in a C4 with C3/C2 statics. I usually take a Praxis into the C3 to rat, but it’s painfully slow. I’m thinking about taking a marauder. I don’t have a lot of time to play, so when there are a half dozen anoms available, I just want to knock them out in under an hour and call it a night.

If you are doing C3 sites I would use a Tengu. Marauders are but pricy to risk in C3 sites. Having a group to run C5 sites in Marauders is the sweet spot for WH money before C6 sites in caps.

kiki fleets in c5 wolf rayettes are fun as poo poo have have a much lower barrier for entry. tbh the "having people to shoot the poo poo with" part is what makes it good, ratting is boring af otherwise

great $ tho, and after this mornings session my vargur has just about paid for itself :homebrew:

I have perfect Tengu skills on another character. Is it much better than flying a Praxis though? I want to make like 400 mil ISK in an hour. Since I live in a C4, I could also use a marauder there. There are currently like 20 anoms in my C4 and I'm not able to run them with the ships I have in there at this time.

If you are risking a marauder you might as well do C5 sites and make more than 400m/h since the fits are not going to be that much cheaper to do C4s.

C3 tengu will be a little less than half that per hour in a good hole. I know some c4 corps who blast through c4 sites in marauders and they do tend to be sleepier than c5s, but the c5 income still dwarfs it.

Yeah, I wish there was more PVE content that could be usefully done cooperatively. I've done some abysses in frigates with a couple buddies, and yeah you could triple box that for ~maximum efficiency~, but I just don't wanna do that alone.

The good thing about using a marauder in anything below a c5 is that its basically a cake walk as long as you sorta know what you’re doing. Until you, uuh, get stabbed.

Tengu is more cost efficient, but a paladin or vargur is basically (irl) skilless.

I wouldn't assume they'd do gates of all things if they don't intend them to lead anywhere. This video pretty clearly indicates the next step is unlocking the gates.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I'm not so sure. When Pochven was found, CCP only put out some DON'T BE IN THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS IF YOU'RE NOT 100% SURE YOU WANT TO warnings and turned them all into NullSec and re-ordered the star gates to point at each other, effectively creating a new little sector, blindsiding everyone.

They easily can do something sneaky again.
