The only problem I run into after a long stretch of flying a cloaker is the wreck less abandon of going through gates in other ships.

Besides the default formations for exploration probing for relic sites, does anyone have any recommendations for some good customs ones to save? I was thinking about saving a formation of 4 probes with an overlapping center, and a couple that involve different planes.

I think the default formation is literally the optimal one and there isn't any point tying any others.

I've been doing it all wrong. :negative:

Beach Bum posted:

It took me awhile to figure out that that custom formations also save the relative positioning and probe strength so that you can set to optimal overlap and range and then save formations for each iteration of tracking down a signature. The pinpoint formation default is in fact the optimal formation (for pinning down a site/ship), so use that as an example when making your iterations of custom formations.

For the record you guys have it loving easy with probe scanning these days :argh:. Ease of scanning down ships has really made range flexibility or mobility ~kind of a big deal~ for fleetcomps because of how much easier it is to pin down a fleet with probes.

So basically I need to take the pinpoint formation and reduce it, and save each iteration of the reduction in the customs?

He's some poor BNI dude who stuffed everything he owned into a T1 hauler hoping for the best and died one jump down the road. They probably don't have poo poo for services getting out of Barle. I guess I will never take PH for granted again.

I feel bad for the guy :(

It kinda makes me want to attempt an import of some items and ships and only marking it up like 15%. It's like watching the 'sad dog' commercials.

I know everyone hates miners but I'm new and need money so I've been mining ice in Dek while I train up my combat skills, only problem is I have no idea to whom I should sell or how to move it to a hub, so does anyone need like a billion isk worth of ice? Not like the kind in your freezer this is the premium stuff.

You might ask one of the transportation companies in S-Mart about moving it to a hub like VFK or QPO and then you can ship it to Jita? I figure they'll quote you a price, it might be outrageous but I bet you'll get a quote.

If I had the equipment, time, and artistic vision I'd totally make a short documentary on being part of the GPD for a recruiting video. If anyone who has these skills needs an actor, let me know.

Seriously this poo poo isn't that hard. I feel like I need to sell a "Brady Games" guide to it with 1 page and 1 line that says

Yo if you want to join SA for GoonWaffe that's totally cool but you need to participate in the community a while before we accept you for 2 reasons. 1. spies 2. We are a forum community that happens to play EVE not an EVE corp that posts on an internet forum.

Like I want to punch a wall this poo poo is so loving simple. Fun fact: I was technically a J4G. I mean Jesus Christ people.

Can I hire you to write e-mail replies for me every once in awhile to co-workers and engineers who are being stupid?

I don't mind seeing my hands in rl or counter strike. Just not in Eve. It adds nothing to the game I understand it for VR but don't like it.

Starting this game in Goonwaffe is basically the equivalent of being a disgustingly spoilt trust-fund teenager irl. Crash your mercedes into a lamppost and then ask your dad for another car, he'll give you five.

This should go into the OP. It sums up the newbie experience perfectly. Theta should probably print it on a banner and hang it on JU- station.
