not quite an urban legend, but blown out of proportion. I know mittens has gotten many a death threat, and one of the creeps even called his parents. The same weirdo's that get upset that Digi once let it be known that progodlegend is GAY, have absolutely no problem when people from their communities threatened to rape his wife ex wife.

In short: Eve is a bad game full of broken people who's sense of scale is non existent.

This thread is a mistake. We (and by we I of course mean others) should have worked hard to get the other threads closed as well. The prophecy tells us that when all SA Eve threads are closed, Eve itself will die. We should be working to hasten that end.

Speaking of which, what MMO(s) will you play when Eve dies for good?

It can be a pretty sweet moneymaker as well as teaching you PVP stuff, although I don't know if its the "best" way of learning it. Just avoid playing as Amarr especially if you are an Alpha clone. You might want to set up a separate character for the purposes of FW.

Ha, I've obviously just rolled an Amarr. Why is Amarr worth avoiding as an alpha clone?

I haven't played this game in 5 years and am checking it out again. I have no idea what to do anymore. I just want to semi AFK blow up belt rats or something. All the ships I could fly back then suck now (mostly Amarr battleships or anything Amarr really from what I can tell). This game has been around for 400 years and it's hard to tell what information on Google is still accurate. Do I just get in a Vexor Navy Issue and run lovely missions until I get bored and quit again?

I'm not sure, but he might have meant to avoid the amarr side of FW? Amarr are totally stomped.

Amarr has some big downsides as alpha, especially the limits on capacitor skills. I think they're easily the worst race for trying to do solo pvp as alpha. They just can't do damage, control, and tank at the same time with the restricted skills. If you don't care about solo, well, they're still not the best. But they're not completely useless or anything.

The problem with amarr alphas is that with their T1 lines there's a lot of overlap with gallente, and the gallente option is always better.

Everybody forgets about the Nestor. Too expensive for what it does, might as well use a few faxes and those have a better chance of living.

The original draft said "No large version" and then I remembered the Nestor. I do appreciate your input. Do you think Nestors could serve as proper logistics ships for battleships fleets if they were cheaper?
How viable are they as a possible replacement for T2 cruiser logistics in their current iteration?


Also sorry about the lack of OP updates. I have been really busy at work. I run my own business and a client might end up screwing me out of payment for the last 3 months of work so I have to sue him and then work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for a new client to make up the loss and cover this months bills.

Grobbums is right on this one. Jason more than likely got caught up in a wave of ghost training / problem-child bans. His latest update was that odds are they did a wave of bans and there isn't enough GM support to sort out the appeals.

Jason doesn't really ride the line; he's streamed himself doing the best work he does before. He just happens to be a guy that produces a disproportionate amount of grief compared to the rest of the game on a per capita basis.

Which leads to the conclusion that if you're too good at what you do (ganking, multiboxing, etc), eventually you're gonna get dealt with in a wholly out-off-grid way (bans, nerfs, your targets getting reimbursed, etc).

In summary, eve dead so what?

While they don't have a high cost right now (about 450m), they have low supply, so any group buying these en masse will spike the price incredibly. I'm not sure how well they compare to T2 logi, but they are only for armor fleets and are limited in that regard. They have lower mass than the other battleships, but still have battleship sigs and similar speeds. The refitting ability is really useful even limited by aggression timers. For them to be effective in the logi role, they would need to have more supply.

NB: I am relatively new to EVE compared to most people here, so this is my noob analysis based on what I've read elsewhere.

You (and miniluv) still ride the line. Don't get me wrong -- I absolutely love miniluv and think what y'all do is hilarious, and I think you should absolutely keep doing it. However, you DO ride the line of what CCP tolerates.

The difference here is who you are. Miniluv does a shitload more damage than any other individual highsec ganker or highsec ganker groups put together, yet it's the little pissbabbys like whoever the gently caress Kusion is that get owned. Why is this? It's because of who you are with and who speaks for you, and how you compose yourselves. Miniluv doesn't have a spokesperson like James 315, or a loud message, or even frequent forum posting -- Miniluv just ganks dudes and mostly keeps quiet.

you really have no idea what you're talking about, kusion is more miniluv than 99% of miniluv members who literally put in like 400 hours to make burn jita work. glad the directorship recognizes people who spend a poo poo ton of time generating content for the alliance.

kusion also keeps quiet as gently caress, if you have examples of him pushing the line at all ever (other than being a ganker) please post it.
