Stupid useful for exactly that. like 1.7m SMA space for all the fit ships moving to wherever. I used it to evac a highsec citadel to an NPC station last and was very happy not to have to repackage two dozen ships I had for SNS and poo poo.

So you are an industry person that puts rigs in cargo for contracts because sometimes you have to cancel them and move them to a different place. gently caress that, fit your rigs and just move em already in tact.

It's a crappy mechanic that t0 sites aren't full blown tutorials and instead leave new players podded back to station without any idea what they did wrong.

To be fair, that's most of Eve. Some of the appeal is the dopamine rush from figuring its bullshit out despite its best efforts.

Perhaps they think they are still playing POS sov, and if they just put down more keepstars then we have they get to control delve?

Who knows. We had ccp nerf ratting so the rest of Eve took pity on us and moved next door to provide constant hilarious loss mails to keep goon morale high. It’s very kind of them, ennui kills empires.

In PGL's State of the Depression speech he fielded a question about whether the TTT agreement was still being upheld, by which I assume that we are actually still getting a cut of the money.

pretty sure the TTT collapsing won't happen, and it would be all over everyone's lips if it ever did

it's not worth breaking it up when the money it generates empowers us far more than TEST and PanFam simply by virtue of us actually having a financial infrastructure, let alone the best one in the game

I started playing this game again 10 years after I last quit (only played for 6 months back then). My interest in the game has gone from Pewpewpew to a fascination with the market/industry.

I used to make money by following ratters around and salvaging. Now I appear to be making money margin trading after some market PvP has happened on the sell orders. These are essentially the same thing

No sorry I'm dumb. I was looking at the reprocessing list. It was a bunch of things that sounded vaguely like upgrades haha.

Well, I mined for the first time in lowsec. While the ore is more valuable, I am not certain that it was worth the time investment (compared to mining in highsec much closer to a trade hub). I think I can earn more just by running missions and salvaging the wrecks ...

So the common null sec ores are slightly higher value than high sec stuff for sure. In high sec I can turn on my tank and go make dinner and not really worry about dying. If you have to pay attention you're better off doing just about anything other than mining.

What that guy said. It's all that's out there really. No one is mining so the industry level or whatever it's call is really low so the belts have almost nothing in them. It should also be noted that at least initially the anomalies have to be cleared out by an actual combat ship. The rats are too tough for even a tanky exhumer/mining barge

My point is that there ain't poo poo spawning in those anomalies - you can mine your rear end off and there's not enough ore to raise the industry index to get better quality anomalies to spawn. Nullsec mining is largely dead at the moment outside of moon goo

the MER data, with actual competent indices built from it, screams that people are liquidating and burning through stockpiles.

they more or less stated this was this goal, so assuming that changes are going to actually materialize, this is accomplishing what they wanted. it's just extremely hosed up in terms of their willingness to accept the collateral damage done to the average player in order to tamp down the resource hoards of a few dozen Smaugs

I NEVER HAD SOUL
Hey, so. I ‘played’ for like a few months in 2009-2012 and did basically nothing but put my feet up and play APB while hanging out in mumble until an alarm went off, then flew out to an op and exploded.

Anyway, I’ve had a persistent itch to be a space trucker and no game appears to be able to fulfill that need right now — and I’ve tried quite a few. So I dusted off my account thinking I’d just do some hauling and see if that hit the spot, but I remember literally nothing about this game.

I’ve got a Caldari tackler-turned-Interceptor-pilot with like 11 million skill points (is that even a lot?) spread around into what I guess are synergistic Navigation and Engineering skills, some Minmatar stuff on top of it. (Why? Shrug.)

If I wanted to take up space truckin’, should I try and build off of what I’ve got, do a respec, or just start a new character altogether? Is there any need for low-pressure space truckin’ in this community specifically? If not and I have to heard to core, can I work on my own or do I for sure need a corp? I’m not trying to get into anything high stakes or high stress, no big commitments.

Help me out, much appreciated.
