xlr82xs posted:An interceptor is going to out pace the explosion velocity though. Of course they will probably out traverse your turrets too. However light missiles will still do damage (eve explosion mechanics are stupid, who knew  ), and interceptors have all the armor of a wet paper bag. That's also why the current Fuckyoufleet gets light missiles instead of light guns.

Lowkin posted:He stayed orange and just started salvaging my wrecks while I was fighting mobs then he just bounced. Lesson learned shoot all orange dudes and red dudes? Highsec is not necessarily safer than nullsec (skip lowsec because it's poo poo). The lesson from this: grab a cheap salvaging ship yourself, ninja salvage some ~maximum isk efficiency~ sperglord's wrecks yourself, and enjoy the tears. Lowkin posted:I quit the mission and lost like 1.5 standing with the agent, can I wait for server refresh and the mission guys will be there again? Also don't grind highsec missions because they suck and will make you want to kill yourself, and even if you want to run missions why does agent standing matter as long as it doesn't prevent you from running the mission.

Libluini posted:Sometimes I wish I could be as crazy as those weirdos who grind out enough LP for Nestor-battleships in HighSec. It's harrowing enough to get the 30,000 LP for an Astero, people continously grinding up to 600,000 LP is mindboggling to me. Outside of FW, that is. Isn't there some way to convert LP? You can easily get hundreds of thousands of navy LP by afk ratting with an ESS around.

Lowkin posted:As an amarr pilot just doing missions in high-sec what factions should I be focused on ranking up? Do you somehow enjoy doing missions? Can you please tell us where you run them so we can suicide gank your blinged out mission running autism chariot? Seriously, go to null and afk rat on an alt, that way you can do interesting things despite playing eve. e: Lowkin posted:I've posted a bunch times I'm not leaving high-sec until I get myself situated, I gave this game a try for 2 months back in 09 and I hated it because I moved to the goon station. I was underclassed in every fight. I am quite content skilling up and ratting missions while I figure this game out. Even the most ~elite peeveepee~ goons die in fights. You will be underclassed in many fights even if you come to VFK in a 25 billion officer fit Marauder because guess what, any single ship will get killed if people feel like it (up to and including lone supers). On second thought, definitely come to VFK in a 25 bil officer fit Marauder so we can laugh about the inevitable lossmail. You will never get yourself situated, and thinking losing ships is terrible is the first sign of becoming an incorrigible highsec number maximiser. Fly free T1 frigates and treat them like ammo. Then fly bigger ships and treat them as slightly more expensive ammo. nessin posted:Depends on what you want to do and where. Incursion ships generally have a significant omni-tank, especially if they're blingy, so it takes a solid effort to gank them. Going into incursion sites to screw with them means having to deal with the incursion rats if they target you (not sure how Concord works in an incursion) and trying to steal sites from them requires actually having an incursion running fleet in the first place. You could also grief them by finishing off the mothership site quickly, before the incursion would normally end. Incursion runners will cry rivers about people ruining their ~maximum isk efficiency~. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Feb 23, 2014 |

Lowkin posted:I was under the impression I needed standing for lvl 5 missions and incursions? which I thought is how most people make ISK Nah. Most goons make money by * salvaging (mostly for the first two weeks as a  newbee)* afk ratting in Ishtars, Vexor Navy Issues, and Carriers * importing things from jita and selling them (we have jump freighter services that ship around stuff for you really cheap) * scamming pubbies * running POS reaction farms (if you are space rich with like 100 bil isk floating around, this becomes worth the effort) * manipulating the EvE economy (only super rich sperglords in the jewbal really do this on a regular basis, but you can profit from their market manipulation sometimes by buying up billions in whatever is about to get really expensive)

Booley posted:Supers can only use fighters, which suck rear end. Nobody sane rats in a super. People use them for occasional missions / plexes that are ungated and have a structure to kill, but due to their inability to use normal drones they see significantly less PvE use than a few years back. Booley posted:See, that's dumb because he could clear it faster in another thanny/archon rather than the nyx. Please stop posting about things which you have no clue about. Thing is, super ratting doesn't necessarily rely on drones. Rats in, say, a gate haven all spawn on the same spot. You sit your super down on that spot, permarun officer smartbombs and watch your wallet grow. The carrier really does nothing besides blapping rats that wander out of smartbomb range. e: SpaceDrake posted:Ahhhh, I see. I guess I was thinking too small, at only one carrier. Silly me I'm quite happy with my single ratting Archon for now (though I have a feeling two Archons in one anom might make sentry ratting viable again, I'll try that with a carrier and an isktar first ).As long as you don't get hotdropped, idiots in random interceptors and gimmick fit Scythe Fleet Issues really don't stand a chance against you. If no dictor is involved, you can even get away from gangs that would normally kick your poo poo in. This is, of course, due to the awesome power of the MTU/warp stab combination: whenever assholes come in to shoot you, you just refit your lows to warp stabs, align to the POS, and gently caress off. Alternatively, you spam your bottomless reserve of drones at them and watch them melt while being able to mash warp if enough people to drown you in scrams appear. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Feb 23, 2014 |

Bilirubin posted:One last question, can the game display your angular and transversal velo from your target's frame? You can put them in the overview (through ticking stuff in a neverending spreadsheet like menu). Bilirubin posted:Yeah I can see all sorts of fun permutations. Are the physics realistic or do they make allowances for video game expectations of flying a ship being like really big planes? Absolutely unrealistic. Your ship is a sphere with a movement vector, it is moving through jello, and everything else is just superficial eye candy. Eve is the world's premier space themed submarine simulation spreadsheet. quote:And now I have a much better understanding for why this game is called "spreadsheet wars" by some. Tracking ship class, likely gun fits, those gun stats and required flight approaches/angular and transversal velocity...sounds like a real fun challenge to outfly experienced players. Yeah, in small tackle ships you can do that and it often works really well. If you're flying large ships in fleets, chances are you'll mostly just orbit the FC and hit f1 on targets. e: when people say "manually piloting", that means "double click in a direction". Your ship will move in that direction, then you double click at a steeper angle to spiral a bit closer to your target, etc. If you want to properly dogfight people IN SPACE then convince someone to play Freespace 2 Open multiplayer with you. suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 19:53 on Mar 7, 2014 |

Freighters will usually carry up to around 1b worth of items. At that point, throwing Brutixes at them becomes unprofitable. However, if you can find 40 people in T1 Catalysts to suicide gank the freighter, you've only invested about 150m for about 500m average loot. Alternatively, you can just have 4 people with 10 accounts each, since isboxer is perfect for suicide ganking (just warp all characters to the freighter with one click, then click again to start shooting simultaneously). This is quite bad isk/hour, but pubbie tears are their own reward and I would expect you to occasionally find a freighter carrying ten billion worth of crap.
