The colored pencils really make this. Regarding Rep: -3385 Soon to be recruited by Am0k. Chillingly accurate. Regarding EVE: Play EVE. Try everything, Groon included. Be sure to be inconsistent and slightly useless everywhere, and also a spy for FIX (or I guess Black-Mark or IRC, if you want a more modern dead alliance) to be sure to never get promoted.

Luigi Thirty posted:Is my stash of Cerberuses in Syndicate buffed yet? Or should I just disappear into a wormhole with MY MUNINN whenever this stupid client reinstalls? I was finally seduced by the thoughts of 2012-era SV all being in hole squad, a squad more useless than post-SUAS SV. RLML cerbs would probably fit fine into MWD gilafleet as anti-tackle. Muninns don't really fit anything we do but I'm sure you'd find some use for it when we aggressively kitchen sink at poo poo. Right now we're eyeing Taloses as something with amazing damage output that's also moderately expendable to gank marauders and poo poo with smaller numbers and 1-2 logi. Really, it's a good time to be semi-useless and watching from the wings. If k-space gets really interesting, who knows WHAT we'll do.

mikey posted:Making stock is the only time it's acceptable to boil meat, and even then it should be mostly bones with a little leftover meat. A whole pork shoulder should be braised, which implies less liquid (and usually juice/vinegar/alcohol), sub-boiling temperatures, and a long duration. Maybe we're having a confusion of terminology? In practice, I've found boiling inexpensive pork is the way to make carnitas (you dry roast it after, then fork it), and it makes awesome stock. It's a win/win, only downside is that it takes a fair bit of time. That pork stock makes the best risotto - you can do risotto with lots of stocks, but I've found this ends up creating the nicest flavor.

Omi no Kami posted:Here's another lovely one, which probably constitutes the single most WTF thing I saw while I was there: I ran two characters for most of my time in eve, one focused on manufacturing and trading skills, one on combat skills. I realized that the uni only wanted characters who were in the uni in a lot of fleet actions, so I asked them to let my secondary with all the combat skills join. "You can only have one character in the uni," they tell me, "If he joins the other guy has to quit. Fair?" That sounded fine, so I did just that... then when I asked one of the officers to reinstate the various ranks + hangar access my guy had, they went "You can't access those anymore- rank is based on the time a character has served in the corp, not a player. Feel free to go through the application process for all those ranks/privileges again in two months when your character is old enough. I've read a lot of stupid poo poo about EVE but this is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long, long time. Join GSF, GROON, Karmafleet, HV, Pandemic Horde, loving whatever you can to get away from that sort of poo poo. It sounds like a bad tabletop group horror story metastasized into one of the largest 'new player' groups in EVE, except it fucks them. (Join groon if you want to shoot eve-uni in syndicate)

surebet posted:...npc null? Half of the regions you named are aggressively useless, as they don't really have much in the way of stations or agents. Notably, northern Venal is poo poo, as is basically all of Great Wildlands. Outer Ring is pretty awful logistically but it does have OK stations and LP. Syndicate has a good layout and stations but its LP is loving worthless, so the worthwhile NPC agents aren't. You missed 2 of the better NPC pockets - Fountain and Pure Blind, both of which have great LP targets. You also missed Stain existing. This still doesn't change the fact that the deep southwest, northwest, deep southeast, and the entire drone regions in the northeast have no NPC space. Lots of regions have no pockets of NPC space, and even more space has no NPC space that is useful in having stations with profitable agents. Pure Blind, part of Venal, Fountain, Delve, Curse, and Stain have worthwhile LP, while lots of other parts of space have poo poo LP, or no stations.

ullerrm posted:If you even care about killboards being green, you're doing it wrong. I'll gladly welp a hundred cheap ships if it means I get one amazing fight that I'll be talking about for weeks afterwards. Grumps' post really doesn't capture what HS actually does. We took a few brawls this weekend, good ones, and came out the worse in both of them. Neither was a total welp, but both involved losing 1b+ ships while learning the WH AHAC brawling meta against decent opponents. The Isogen-5 fight grumps died in went south due to a combination of 3 things - https://beta.eve-kill.net/related/31001741/201505241900/ - this was actually their 13 vs our 11 in our home with links, so not that 1-sided 1-it started as out before we were completely ready with the standard flirting baiting -ganking-counterganking shuffle, which resulted in a notlupus being in a blackbird rather than something heavier, and our FC, dom, in one of the logi and a jamming tengu. This is what killed us. 2-Isogen got some really good hits with the ECM from their stratios and the ECM drones on Dom's logi, 4 cycles. That'd be the back luck 3-We didn't get perfect calls on neuts and jams being split on their guardians, and DPS on the third. So, we couldn't break them before they sorted out neuts and DPS on our 3 guardians. So, a damned good fight, but one we lost. I got my poo poo out this time, but not the last, where we made a more basic mistake (I was the only guardian  ). Still, learning experiences.What grumps means is that w-space also provides a steady trickle of people doing stupid poo poo in expensive ships: https://beta.eve-kill.net/related/31001069/201505252200/ Wolf Rayet, Paladin Pod, active Gila. One of these is not like the other. Totally worth collapsing the connection behind ourselves to murder that. KaoliniteMilkshake fucked around with this message at 02:42 on May 26, 2015 |

Glory of Arioch posted:nah i don't hate hole squad  FWIW I'm kinda sad the directorate is pushing hard to kill off SV by pulling reimbursement. Syndicate is an absolute poo poo for making money - it doesn't have Guristas, Serpentis, Angel, or Sansha missions, like Venal, Fountain, Curse, or Stain. Syndicate LP is available in the S-U pocket, and kind of lovely. I guess the SV moon empire needs to ride again.

Numismancer posted:SV isn't being shuttered (the gently caress did this thread even get that) Kicking BOS followed by killing reimbursement for the regions SV is active in gives that impression. BOS was half of SV's active members, and they were taking active fights in Syndicate, a region known for being poor as poo poo. Numismancer posted:BOS was kicked for the same reason any corp that loses its stakeholder on month 1 and is told to shape up by month 2 and doesn't, This is fair. Numismancer posted:Burn Amarr is still cancelled because of FCON  , grr FCON, etcNumismancer posted:and I have no clue why anyone thinks we'd give a poo poo about Hole Squad from an alliance level. The past few pages of this thread is full of Hole Squad discussion, we never talk or care about them as they're in a goddamned wormhole and it doesn't matter. And that's how we prefer it. However, we still actively play EVE, are goons, and sometimes like to talk about it. Numismancer posted:If you want to feel like a rebel who ~the man~ is breathing down the neck of or something, you gotta talk it up or invent some kind of mystical conspiracy to feel oppressed? Really, the  seems to come from the timing on the first point, and the fact that this smacks of Darius calling all active squads home including GROON and EO home for war, and then purging people that hinted that that wasn't what they were about. Well, that and apparently the BOS services were pulled suddenly, iirc previous membercorps got a couple days service grace along with the standard week to move their poo poo out.People are bored, so we want drama, squad poo poo amuses us on some level, but the prospect of internal drama suggests maybe might actually happen.

The last time I thought about holesquad is when mandozer got me involved in some kind of drama around getting broadcast rights. And we're cool with that. We unfucked our finances a while ago, and do OK. Only thing that sucks on a coalition level is that our retard allies won't blue us, so we can't take our pilots on coalition fleets, but whatever. I'll eventually ram my head into that wall because while I personally don't care, a lot of other people would like to do it.

Reactively killing the kind of nerds who will come to Dek to roam is mostly a losing proposition, and while modern theta is a whole different game than what I played with in 2012 (CowWarrior and literally no other organization), you're still mostly dealing with people that have no interest in a defense gang. Also, mandozer, I'm sad I've not been xcommed yet, vyst ~space-doxxed~ me as Kyle Myr last thread so feed me to the meatgrinder or whatever. Other than that the only surprises is that TEST apparently has something worth stealing. Power to you, garr khan.

Re: SV and Topgoon poo poo. I can only wish both of these squads the best, as old Topgoon taught me a lot of the basics of PVP, and current SV provided a lot of the active PVP pilots that make Holesquad a decent, open recruitment PVP squad that trains FCs, scouts, logo anchors, newbies, and bittervets alike* *the ones that can deal with living in w-space, with random connections to good content, and the badposting disease that comes with playing EVE. Oh, and being stuck such that it isn't feasible to join main strategic fleets regularly.

HUGE SPACEKABLOOIE posted:6. I read about the wiki and it made me sad because I pretty much learned the game off of it but what happened to the killboard? The plain layout of the old one was so much easier to look at than zkillboard. This one I can actually answer. A couple of years back, Luigi30 worked on updating the KB from its old, atrocious state, where it was only used because it was the only KB accepted for reimbursements. So, it was taken down. The new one never quite made it out of the womb, and reimbursement started accepting eve-kill, then zkillboard, so you're one of the very few people to miss it (which is fine, taste is weird.) If you want an older style KB that still works, try http://beta.eve-kill.net/ , as it has a similar layout to the old eve-kill.

IIRC Steve's experience with running sites in a Svipul suggests that multiple web stacking might make those fits untenable in anything greater than c3 sites in the c6/wolf rayet frig holes that spawn, but given the lowish cost of testing, it might merit further investigation. Either way this looks like a super Enyo, which is already one of the best AFs. I'm looking forward to it.
