In large fleets the Celestis is superior in every way and in small gangs people mostly trust that you can figure out a fit for yourself.

Something like

code:

[Blackbird, Small Gang]
Damage Control II
'Hypnos' Signal Distortion Amplifier I
'Hypnos' Signal Distortion Amplifier I

Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I
Large Shield Extender II
BZ-5 Neutralizing Spatial Destabilizer ECM
Enfeebling Phase Inversion ECM I
'Hypnos' Ion Field ECM I
'Umbra' White Noise ECM

[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]

Medium Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I
Medium Core Defense Field Extender I

is probably fine. You can drop whichever jammer you think will be least useful (probably Amarr) for another shield extender or swap out the rigs for more jam strength, you're still going to be made of paper either way though. High slots are whatever you want.

I honestly read as much as I could (post-fail). The second post details SA requirements, which seem irrelevant with sponsorship, but I didn't want to assume anything after screwing it up.

Meanwhile, I'm content with skilling & posting until I can re-apply. Thanks for clarifying.

So, back to spaceships, how do I assertively combat bad comms discipline without sounding like a total dickhead? I want people to listen to me when I give orders but I don't want to be that guy, but I want to shut this stuff down quickly before we do some serious elite pvp in the next couple of weeks.

I use my mousewheel button as my push to talk. I have also used the 'back' button on my mouse as push-to-talk for fps games (I use a Logitech MX518 -- aka the best mouse in the world).

True it's not your bank website, at the same time it is a game where someone faking out a SSL cert to gain access would be admired as good spying.

However, Solo did broadcast that this was coming; our renewal cert is being held up at brand verification since we're apparently known as a bunch of scammers, so I wouldn't worry about the warning.

It's been awhile so I thought I would give you guys a bit of an update on my eve career so far.

I have trained up into a Vexor as we have quite a few VNI fleets in the UNI low sec campus , and because I can't afford a VNI yet , I fly the cheap version.

The vexor has also become my main isk maker in eve as I use it for belt ratting. I had some incredible luck though , I was warping to a belt on friday and there was a mordus something something sitting in the belt.

Thinking this was similar to the clone soldier transporter ships that normally drop around 18mill in loot, I launched my drones and started shooting at it. Turns out they are a quite a bit stronger and my vexor exploded fairly fast (nobody told me rats can stop you from warping off). Long story short , some eve UNI guys came and helped the second time round and it dropped a orthrus blueprint worth 400mill!

Now that I have some isk I have been trying some solo pvp in the medium and small sites, and even though I haven't killed anybody yet while solo , I got one guy down to 40% structure. This seems to be what the game is about and the blood really starts to flow before once you click that "activate gate" button.

I hate every single way of making isk in this game(that I have found so far), and I have started hating parts of the game because it forces me to to boring crap to fund the PVP which I am loving. Luckily the blueprint isk is going to last for quite some time considering the ships I fly cost between 2-10mill.

TL;DR
I am rich now, I still suck at eve but getting better

Yup, and that scuttling is actually something that gets emphasized for the wrong reasons. It wasn't a show of bravado.

Cortes was playing a legal game at this point -- his boss had withdrawn permission for him to go to Mexico (something about Cortes loving his sister), and was planning to send some scrub that would be easier to control instead. Cortes responded by having that scrub killed, and took out his armada without official permission. He was technically a mutineer when he landed in Mexico.

He knew that if he returned to Cuba, he'd be hung for mutiny. So, he got a town to declare him as a ruler, making him technically nobility -- authority now descended directly from the crown, instead of passing through Velazquez. Scuttling the ships ensured that anyone loyal to Velazquez wouldn't return to Cuba.

By becoming independent, Cortes denied Velazquez of most of the rewards for the conquest of Mexico.

This was me actually that noted this. I lost multiple Manticores to Gallente FW mission before finally going "gently caress this" and unsubbing the alt account.

I had pretty good skills on my bomber. T2 torps, AWU IV, max shield skills, level 4 missile support skills, etc. I felt it was almost near the tippy-top of what you could do with a bomber alt. The fit I used was the same fit as in the OP of the FW Boogaloo thread or whatever.

The problem with Gallente FW missions is the jamming rats. Even at 80-90 km range with an ECCM II fit, the rats would still successfully jam me and shut off my DPS juuuuust long enough for the tackling frigates to close onto me. Once you get tackled, you're basically hosed since you can't escape them fast enough to escape all the incoming DPS. I lost maybe three Manticores this way before giving up and decided it was no longer worth the effort.

What I imagine you could try is some kind of cap-stable MWD fit that allows you to race the tackling frigates and slowly plink them down with torpedoes (heh.) While this would in theory work, in practice it would be extremely slow-going and soul-crushing (at least for me.)

My tangirene dream is that all of you die at the sweaty cheeto stained fat hands of Replicator. I hope he he shitbombs your titans with gimmacky frigates, as this is how this game is rolling. I hope he murders you on TIDI, and the mods lol their asses off as thy deny your ship loss because you are a loving goon.

K bro? Did we miss sommen there mang?

Well I think FCON just declared war. I can't say that I'd be sorry about that. Mind you, If I saw Mittens in his pod I'd probably have to have a go.


I imagine the line of succession looks like a bunch of fat sweaty neckbearded EVE goons btw.

Christ people. YES this is likely what I am going to do from here on out. I'm just complaining over jump fatigue and that CCP was a bit retarded when they implemented the feature.
