If you knew how to spin your ship in station, how to press F1 or how to talk over an FC during a critical phase of a stratop, it'll come back to you pretty quick.

Free SP isn't really that special any more, since you can just magick up a knot of it any time by eating a skill injector.

I stopped playing in like 2009 and the game felt pretty much exactly the same when I got back in. There's some tweaks here and there, but I found it all very familiar.

I don't think I've even entered one, like ever. But I have reasonable scanning skills and I recall cov ops frigates being rather cheap. gently caress it, I might as well try and join up again. The worst they can do is tell me to gently caress off due me not being an active poster for a while (work got really busy for a long time with projects and crap). poo poo now I'm all worried about it, I guess I may as well find out...

We're currently living out of a hole, but it's a temporary training thing. Just roaming through WH systems isn't much different from K space life, you just have to be now careful and bouncing off celestials and hitting d scan before warping to a hole. I guess you gotta make sure the holes aren't EOL or crit either

So I see CCP decided to add in player-placed stargates, but only gave them the range of a jump bridge.  , I guess?Being able to coordinate them with neighboring alliance's will be a boon, but I also foresee much  -ing with the implementation.

I never understood why they didn't make a class of ships that aren't simply flying one-way glass cannon stargates. Like a Titan, just without any weapons, so smaller alliances can build and use them.

What's the relatively-safe ISK threshold for empire freightering with reinforced hulls? IE at what cargo value does it start making sense for freighter ganks

Deuce posted:What's the relatively-safe ISK threshold for empire freightering with reinforced hulls? IE at what cargo value does it start making sense for freighter ganks Pubbies typically won't haul more than 2b in a freighter. If you're looking for higher value stuff, and it's small, consider a Deep Space Transport. They can fit medium micro jump drives and tank like gently caress. They haul 65,000 m^3 at Transport Ships V.

They can fit medium micro jump drives and tank like gently caress. They haul 65,000 m^3 at Transport Ships V. It's mostly fuel blocks and stront and ammo so it's not extremely valuable, just bulky. I've been recollecting all my crap that got scattered about lowsec by asset recovery. Blockade runners to get them to hisec, took a lot of trips. Could have sworn I had a trio of deadspace-fit strat cruisers I ran 10/10s with. Dunno what the gently caress happened to those.

Freighters are good for bulk transport of stuff like common minerals and modules, t1 hulls, etc. If it's expensive fit ships, Bowhead is a better option.

You can't be scanned and you cloak and you're super fast. on the other hand, people pop blockade runners as scratch-offs and you can get blasted by a single guy hoping to get lucky when you have a burst of latency. i'd much rather be in anything that can probably absorb a solo gank attempt but probably wouldn't be scanned without you noticing and getting safe than being in a BR and hoping nobody gambles trying to get lucky. Either way, you're gambling instead of ensuring you're safe and I think the BR is a worse bet.

Things that are small like that should never travel away from a station or friendly citadel's docking radius.

The counter strat is running a brick tanked bhaalgorn or something with ~100K armor (not EHP, literal armor), and just riding out a gank attempt in kadama or whatever it is. Or bring friends with logi. Or blops it. poo poo like that. I agree a BR can be popped, I've been extremely recalcitrant on moving T2 capital BPOs, which is why I still sit them in a station in lowsec and run the jobs remotely. When it mattered, I had a handful of T2 BPOs for poo poo like Hammerhead IIs, I would just sit them in a lowsec research station and run the jobs in my POS remotely, was a better alternative than moving them.
