Viva Miriya posted:Eisenhorn Trilogy is the dumbest poo poo I've read in a while. Like its good reading but Eisenhorn is such a stupid motherfucker starting around book 2 and 3 for sure. I've been missing out on my dan abnett since the gaunt's ghosts stuff so I'm like, no way this is the same guy. Good to know! I'll write the trilogy down immediately and file it under "Avoid at All Costs" then! But seriously, go and read about the LSM. Execution Hour and Shadow Point. Those two books were so good Games Workshop forced the author to stop writing the last book, because in typical GW-fashion only poo poo authors (or Dan Abnett and Sandy Mitchell) are allowed to write 40K fiction. Shadow Point is the best, simply for having an Imperial cruiser sneaking up to a super-stealthy Dark Eldar ship and blowing it up in a rather satisfying manner. Rather EVE-like, now that I think about it.  Edit: The Lord Solar Macharius is a Dictator-class cruiser.

Amberskin posted:What about a sniping ship? Something like a tornado landing at a proper spot (100 kms-ish from the interceptor) could single-volley it. The interceptor will not be able to warp out during the entosis cycle, and if the tornado is properly boosted (and have links) it will be able to lock and squish it. We're talking about T3s. Good luck volleying down a Loki.

This is still valid in those cases: (And time for multiple shots?? Was the warp speed and acceleration of battlecruisers multiplied by ten when I wasn't looking?) mikey posted:Nah, you'll be orbiting 250km from the structure. If someone enters local, turn your MWD on; if you think they might actually be able to catch you, align toward something facing away from the structure. If they're using probes, you'll be up to speed (7.5km/s without heat) long before they land on you. If they're not using probes, they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting anywhere near you. It doesn't matter how much time is left on your link cycle, because nothing other than maybe a 10mn MWD Svipul can catch you inside of two minutes. But yeah, I guess if everything goes perfectly and the Tornado arrives just on grid when a new cycle begins and the T3-pilot was asleep at the wheel, then you could paste him. Maybe.

I can't wait to test the new structures on SiSi. If they really want to allow the new structures everywhere, instead of just on moons, I'll do my best to make deathtraps, just in case I ever have enough money to be a real rear end in a top hat on the normal server.  I'm also interested to see how they want to combine drones and structures. Considering the probably still rather long lock-on times for even the new medium structures, I fully expect people to have some structures around just to spew out Warrior IIs to keep pesky little frigates away.

ryanrs posted:Speaking of crimewatch, I just got a concorded ship grudgingly reimbursed because I filed a petition arguing that the crimewatch mechanics did not exactly match the description on the EVE Online wiki. I was pretty surprised that line or reasoning worked. Hey, something similar happened to me years ago! I shot a pirate structure in a mission and was very confused when CONCORD warped in and wasted my ship. Apparently shooting pirate cans in a mission is also a concord offense. My ship never got reimbursed though because the logs showed I had fired upon a can belonging to a player. Even after said player contacted them and told them I had never shot on him or one of his cans they didn't reverse their stance. And so I learned the server saves the last player opening a mission can and sends them a message if you attack the can.  Now I would like to test if you can do something similar in LowSec or NullSec with some of the still existing static complexes. If you shoot at some of those always refilling cans, do the players who were there before you also get stupid messages claiming someone just shot them?

Looks like CCP is doing well. They recalled their bonds and repaid the 20 million $ debt they had. Also they don't have to release their annual financial data anymore. That was just something they had to do as long as they had public debt listed on an exchange. Morons are livid and donning the tinfoil, of course.

Wow, it finally happened: Some random corp has declared war on my random HighSec-industry alt. I'm kind of excited, I've already dragged two other corps as allies into the war and prepared my little POS for war. In case I can't get online when the war starts, I've made sure the e-war towers and weapon batteries are all firing on war targets. Now I'm interested to see if those six guys actually show up, or if this war ends like the one I totally slept through a few months ago. (A war dec happened, I wasn't on for weeks and nothing happened. The guys were apparently just too lazy to even search for my POS.)

Nietzschean posted:Highsec wardecs will never search for a pos. They will "search" for you on the Jita undock, or if they're particularly motivated shitlers they will camp the undock of whichever system their locator agents shows you in. Well, good for them. They and the other guys "helping" me can then camp each other, while I'm waiting this poo poo out. (But secretly I'm still hoping they attack my POS. That's what all the weapons are there for, after all.)

blowfish posted:But mostly they'll be hoping for you to provide cheap tearful laffs Looks like you guys were right, nothing really happened today. I accepted some more allies and refused their 1 ISK capitulation-offer. I guess those HighSec-wardeccers will now fight this out among themselves. And by "fight" I mean sitting around in Jita for no reason until the war is over. Welp, maybe dropping about fifty people on six was a bit overkill, but hey, it was still cheaper then just paying them. (The capitulation-offer wasn't there yesterday, by the way.)

Even with all the bonuses in the world it still takes a loving long time to hit that far. Players are not NPCs, after all and tend to move out of the way. Or use firewalling or some poo poo.

Glory of Arioch posted:people shoot them and then the npcs respond with their doomsday weapon They can't go through gates yet, but like seekers they can and will warp to a gate and then wait for a while to see if you come back. This of course means if you see some around and know a fleet is coming through soon, nothing is easier then aggroing them, warping to the gate the fleet will use and going through. Now the Drifters will sit around and it just takes one single guy accidentally shooting them for them to turn into a real gate camp. A gate camp with double shields and doomsdays.

It's kind of funny. I took a look today at how my war is going. Looks like it's kind of one-sided. On my side some guys went on a killing spree, destroying 13 ships worth 1 billion ISK in total, on the other side my enemies got some dumbass. His pod was worth 120+ million. Not bad for some random corps I randomly accepted as allies. Since I'm an rear end in a top hat, I've send a EVE-Mail to the guy responsible for diplo on the enemies' side and demanded the same sum of money for accepting their surrender they normally demand for dropping the war dec. In it I also told them I would just continue to decline surrender offers until my demand is met. War decs can be fun, if you find other people to fight for you. Now back to playing more Elite: Dangerous

The new modules will at the very least influence flight time and missile speed, explosion radius and that other thing are thought about, but not entirely sure at this point. Generally, all missiles will be buffed by this, CCP outright said no negative changes to missiles to compensate for the new modules.

She already lost a tooth some years ago when it was really bad and turned into severe infections. Gums, mouth, throat. She couldn't eat, she couldn't drink and I had to pay a hundred bucks for a special ultrasonic surgery, followed by weeks of medication and special needs diet to clean up the mess.) Still, I love my little cat.  Just in case this isn't the Food and Pets Thread like the last pages suggest, something about EVE now. Today I noticed the new Sanctuary-skin for the Stratios had dropped and I just had to give CCP money to get it. Shameful, I know. But now I have a blue Stratios!

Richard Bong posted:The controls are just so unresponsive. On average it's around 2-3 seconds for me between the command input and the ship taking action. It feels like I am fighting the controls and ui already, this isn't a flight sim. Enemy ships aren't a model most of the time when fighting, just a colored box. It's hard enough to react correctly to enemy movement already. Probably this is the reason CCP doesn't want to do this until the UI is completely reworked. So I guess we should brace for orbiting and stuff being removed for somewhere around Summer 3015.

Dr. Pangloss posted:Wow, nearly 9.5% bump to explosion velocity, explosion radius, missile velocity and missile flight time for 35 CPU, 1 PG and a mid-slot. Sounds nice for the Sacrilege. Just fill up your mids with 1-2 of the computer things and you can give your HAMs either Heavy Missile like range against larger targets and if you're plagued by frigates, just change scripts. And if you prefer Heavy Missiles, the Sacrilege suddenly turns into a nice PVE-boat. And oh god the Cerberus. If you can squeeze in one or two besides your shield mods, you probably could reach out to 200+ km range with mods and rigs combined. With the proposed nerf on firewalls coming, maybe we'll see some more missile-ships in large fleet doctrines? Edit: Also CCP decided to troll their players. The comments are just precious.
