My god, the goon tears are flowing over Aegis, both here and on EVE forums. Boo hoo, entosis is taking away your supremacy over the EVE universe, gtfover it and adapt your tactics. You think capitals are useless? What if someone were to tank up a Moros (with max resists), fit it with entosis and send it in to take a goon system while your subcaps flail uselessly against the passive tank and its defending fleet? How many reinforcements would you scream out for?

Duzzy Funlop posted:The use of 'autism' in Eve has evolved to a point where it's just as dumb a term as 'content'. That doesn't make it right. If anything, that makes it worse: you're taking a very real neurological condition that costs $$$ a year in specialist care and education and causes a shitload of woe for all involved and reducing it to a throwaway word. But then again, this is EVE we're discussing, a world where the moment someone finds out you're trans, you can expect to see exty billion hatemails everytime you log in (like what happened to a corpmate of mine). It's a cretin's paradise. Back to Aegis: everything I've seen so far is just bluster meant to cover up the fact that Goonfleet would rather camp freight corridors like Uedama and Niarja than actually work to keep their sov gains, and now that CCP has levelled the playing field for the pubbies there's been the proverbial wailing and gnashing of teeth from Fountain to Delve. You want to keep the sov trolls away from your precious POSes? Less camping, more consolidation. Pull your fleet assets inward, kiss goodbye what systems you can't or don't want to hold and put your fleet assets and outposts on alert until people get tired of trying to entosis your poo poo every five minutes. tl;dr learn to herd cats or lose at eve

You're assuming the ship has to fight at all. All this one has to do is tank like a space wombat (with almost as much EHP as a POCO, that shouldn't be hard) while its escorts do the fighting.  Any entosis ship that is not an interceptor (or exceedingly cleverly fitted) is going to need some kind of fire support to aggro the defending fleet while the entosis link does its thing. Voyager I posted:But y'know what, I'm probably wrong. You should bring your Etosis Dread out one day and show us what it's really capable of. Hey, man, stranger things have happened.

I have some random questions: 1) Is Syndicate claimable? i.e. can I contest sovereignty in any systems in that region? 2) If Goonfleet had it's own SKINs, what colours would they be, and what ships would you put them on? 3) What do you think of the new Dominix? I kinda like it.

ullerrm posted:The Amarr Emperor and Heirs are not allowed to clone, nor become a capsuleer. (This is called the Sacred Flesh doctrine.) They have to keep their bodies alive via cellular regenerators and implants instead. For this reason, Amarr Emperors live maybe ~500 years at most. See, people DO care about lore.

Voyager I posted:It's even more explicit in this case. Nothing about transferring your consciousness into a datastream or anything. The cloning process starts by outright killing the capsuleer, because brain activity interferes with the scan. This individual is dead and their existence is terminated. Their brain is physically reproduced down to individual neural pathways in a new body, creating a new, distinct individual who happens to have the memories, personality, skills, etc of the capsuleer they were copied from. It's generally simpler to think of them being the same person, but consciousness transfer is never part of the process. Hell, if you didn't have to kill someone to scan their brains with sufficient detail a living person could make copies of themselves freely. How do you explain jump clones, then? Do I die every time I jump from Solitude to Tash-Murkon and back? If so, does that mean every jump clone is single-use and has to be replaced? CCP explicitly states that the brain scanner used in capsules works lightning fast at the cost of rupturing and lesioning brain tissue, resulting in an irreparably brain-dead clone. I would explain it as the jump clone scanner working more slowly to perfectly preserve brain tissue and implants, allowing you to later re-inhabit that body so you don't have to make dozens of jumps home in a ship.

ullerrm posted:*infomorph psychology theory* Voyager I posted:*death-related sophistry* What I took away from this discourse: yes, jump clones are single-use only and all our brains turn to mush. It helps if you think of your character's mind and memories as the contents of a hard disk. If one computer ceases to function and you have an identical model available, you can simply transfer the contents of the disk - operating system and all - onto the other machine and boot it up. Technically you do 'die' when podded in the sense that you physically cease to be a living organism, your broken body with its busted implants left drifting near your shattered pod waiting for someone to scoop it up and do distasteful things to it. However, the patterns of synaptic activity and fractal neuronal architecture that make you 'you' are preserved as a computerized pattern, easily replicable with the Jovian-derived technology of the 201st century. All you need is a fresh medical or jump clone out of the wrapper and you can stumble back out into the big, bad galaxy and count your losses. If absolutely everything about you is replicated in this process, then yes, your soul comes along for the ride regardless of what the Amarrian scriptures have to say about it.

HappyKitty posted:This might be an aside, but how the hell does a language like Icelandic - which is so old-fashioned you can literally plug Old Norse texts into Google Translate with Icelandic as the selected language and end up with somewhat intelligible translations - handle futuristic technical concepts? I keep imagining it would sound like Uncleftish Beholding. The same way it handles modern concepts: some languages simply borrow from other languages (loanwords/calques), other languages cobble words together from existing adjectives, adverbs and nouns which most accurately describe the object or concept (German is notorious for this, it's how modern German ended up with all those impossibly long words). Uncleftish Beholding was an amazing read, thanks for that. It's like reading King Ethelred's attempt at explaining nuclear fission to his subjects.

I've long maintained that Minmatar ships are the fugliest in EVE, and that still holds true. But now that I've flown a Rifter for the first time, I can understand why goons love them so much. edit: Darth Cookie: Stratios is pretty, but not that crash hot. There are plenty of better ships to go ganking in.

Maneck posted:It really has been too long since our last international incident. I googled Dokdo and got something about the Russo-Japanese War. Wouldn't be the first time the Russians in EVE have done political stuff by a long shot. I saw one Russian taunting Ukrainian players in his bio with the words "Crimea river". I don't care if they're goons or not, Russian EVE players suck. If they're not spamming in chat, making half-assed attempts at scamming or leaving containers and mobile depots everywhere, they're stirring geopolitical poo poo.

I was playing around with the graphics settings and I think I've figured out how the SKINs work. If you're playing EVE windowed right now so you can post like I do, try going into the settings right now and set the shader quality to low. If your toon* is flying an Amarr or Gallente ship, you'll notice the difference right away: all the metallic effects and related specular lighting are gone and you're left with a high-definition matte texture. This is because the shiny metal bits aren't part of the base texture; they're after-effects rendered on top using next-gen shaders. When you buy a SKIN, you're pretty much buying a recolour of your chosen hull with the same shader effects laid out on top. If CCP were to ever get their collective butts into gear and work out a system for custom SKINs, actually making them would be child's play: all you need is the texture map for the hull of your choice and a copy of GIMP. If you were really clever about it, you could do some cool things with the bump map too. *it's the common term for an EVE character post-Incarna, deal with it.

Some idiot suicided me after I'd just undocked a brand new Epithal in hisec, and when I demanded an explanation he told me "I saw a huge bounty". He must have been either a long-absent vet or an utter noob, because he was completely unaware of the most recent bounty change which meant he just lost a multimillion isk ship for 45k. He was so embarrassed he actually reimbursed me 5x my ship's worth. Strange things happen in EVE sometimes.
