Sickening posted:I wonder if you tried to repair that at an npc station if the -% values would multiply the cost. It wouldn't have been negative in that case. This only happened because we stored a heavily damaged structure tanked ship in a POS hanger which strips the effect of player skills. I think a NPC station wouldn't have had the same effect.

Stereotype posted:but i don't care about losing $1 and i sort of cared that i lost my ships, about as much as if i had lost $10. i think most of us get what you meant no one is sitting fretting because "oh no $300k". they're fretting because it's theirs and it has a value to them which is way harder to equate with plex-dollar conversions. at least the reddit posts are a constant source of tears and a reminder that a lot of them are really not handling this well. speaking of which - is chromium used in copium reactions? that would explain it spontaneously doubling in price overnight

My guess for the recent spike is that a large amount of the imperium's wealth is actually stored in raw moon goo. That would make sense just purely by knowing what locustfleet was. you can see a pretty significant rise in moon goo prices in Jita that correlates with the war bonds release as well, which would make a lot of sense if we have been slowly selling moon goo to fund the war but now don't have to since the war bonds provided a massive liquidity influx. If that's correct it is basically just a win/win for the imperium, since the alliance can hold down 1DQ1 goo prices, and keep our ships cheap, while allowing Jita prices to skyrocket, hurting our enemies who rely on it and increasing the value of our stockpile. We're such a cool alliance lol.

Hey all, I haven't played this wonderful/dreadful [delete as applicable] in around three years. Have my stuff in Delve was going to sell it all and get to highsec and do something there, was told in local, things are getting real spicey etm. Is it worth rejoining if you're a lowly BS capt? Or is everyone in Dreads and Titans now?

Show that you're truly dedicated to the cause by not caring about killmails and killboards, whatever those are. I was one of 3 logi in a small jackdaw fleet and we kept the boys alive when we got jumped by a caracal fleet supported by bombers. Everyone got home safely except the drakes. Can't say the same for home defense, there was no logi channel, immediately ran into a loki fleet and was popped before anyone could broadcast. Reshipping took the last of my space bux, and SRP has not paid yet. In short, logi is a land of contrasts

The Hambulance posted:Are Rifters back? It got changed to Slashers when I was playing. Slasher was a better ship, but the Rifter is a goon icon. Rifters only have 2 mid slots now. So, people usually drop the web if they're flying one. Slasher is a better tackler because it can also fit a web. The slasher's wings also move when warping or not warping, which is cool. That said, fly what you want when it comes to T1 frigs.

orange juche posted:don't procurers have really really high sensor strength? like, able to lock a 2.01s align ship and point it? They have 4 mid slots so you might be able to rig one with super high sensor strength. They are extremely tanky though, like 70k ehp. They're basically the only good mining barge.

esto es malo posted:this would actually be cool Yeah, it'd add a whole new dimension to move ops, since you'd have to designate a midpoint to do hull repairs, preferably in an allied system. I'm also of a mind that it could be an interesting way to add a finite usage life to supercaps. It makes zero sense whatsoever that something as large as a titan wouldn't become structurally unsound over time just by *existing*. One of the best episodes of the Galactica remake was them acknowledging that the ship's main support beams were well beyond their expected lifespan and that the ship could theoretically break in half with every jump they made. A ship that has structural damage shouldn't enter a warp bubble or spool up a jump drive lightly, and there should be a consequence roll for those that do, ranging from the ship blowing up in situ, at the other end of its jump, or suffering further structural/module breakage. There should come a point where a titan is so 'used up' that the best thing to do would be to dock it at a Keepstar, reprocess it, and build a new one. It'd sure as gently caress make faction supercaps a much rarer sight.

It's not a good idea but there might be some salt to harvest by pointing people with a barge for the rest of the camp to kill an "insta-warp" ceptor.

I remember us mocking their awful bombs back in like the fountain war or something, but surely they haven't sucked at it this whole time? Actually I think that Predds is probably the most consistent bombing group in the game, bombers just got nerfed a bunch and you see less fleet wipers - other than Test cerb fleets - these days.
