So I read the last 15 pages of the bad thread and I still don't know WTF is going on. Why is everyone fighting? Last I heard Endie and Blarf were cool. :( I don't like this new reality.

short version is just stupid drama. the long version is explanation of stupid drama that doesn't make sense or be satisfying.

blawrf and endie were cool, and so are the people they're fighting with.

It's pretty bad.

Aside from this it's mostly good pod? JEFF manages to keep being chill despite politically being on one side of things, and even though there is footballchat he keeps it at the end of the cast, which is legit for people who don't care.

It scares me that HV has managed to survive well over a year. We should've been evicted or died to our own horrible incompetence, choking on our own bile long ago

fwiw your handover of the SV name has created a very active group. not the same, but very active. guy running it has some bad opinions (bhaalgorns are useless against caps bad) but he gets newbies in fleets and that's important

They could make them drop way more decryptors and datacores and also have them take less volume; I'm still not sure why datacores are like ten times bigger than salvage. It'd depress the market, sure, but when you're doing T2 you pretty much need decryptors for certain item types.

The funny thing is this IS CCP's fixed loot table. It seems like they really didn't go far enough.

66 contracts and an ISK transfer later and one of my characters is now devoid of all assets and isk, excluding one set of +4 Int / Mem implants when I remap in about 10 days. Inspired by VG, I'm taking him on a walkabout, starting with a Pend Insurance provided Velator, my mission will be to take him from nothing to something. Not sure what the ultimate goal is yet, but I like the idea of having a character that can fly any frigate, destroyer or cruiser and seeing what I can do with him.

With a 2-month old, I haven't been able to spend a lot of time with Eve anyway, or join fleets late at night as usual, so this will give me some direction and casual goals to reach for.

Any thoughts on restrictions? I'm thinking I can't join a corp, but I can form one once I can afford it, to avoid taxes. Also thinking that I have to try to kill something at least once a day (that I play).

If you want a really silly restriction, you could try 'iron man' and past a certain point only use modules you loot on your ships.

This is phenomenally dumb and that's why I suggest it

the hassle of scanning one down out of the million derelict structures in highsec and shooting it for what is most likely absolutely nothing inside means that i doubt people pop them in highsec

There was a brief period where shooting this thing would cause a suspect flag in a way that people with drones set to aggressive would shoot and then flag the guy who shot their MTU. A friend of mine ran around in a Maller killing as many missioning BS as he could get to gently caress up.

Why do you use 2 deadspace reppers instead of another 2 T2 large?

Typically grid issues. MWD scimis have moderate fitting issues, to the point where a lot of their fits either stack a lot of PDS, use deadspace medium reps rather than larges, or other tricks. In this case you both have 1 rep dropped for a cloak (freeing some grid) and deadspace mediums (freeing more grid) meaning more of your lows can be pure cap, or nanos.

I do the exports from Twitch to YT for EVE NT and sadly there's little I can do with the audio to fix it. Most of the cleanup work wouldn't fix it entirely either since most of it is on the streamer/hosts end it seems. :smith:

On a different note, I sort of dig this new EVE song they just put out.

https://soundcloud.com/ccpgames/eve-online-yc1187-theme-detached-from-time

I like all the ambient music and really am fine with the fact CCP shut down the jukebox but gave us Soundcloud since apparently EVE's audio stuff will give you a memory leak still.

This sucks, but it's quiet enough that I literally couldn't hear poo poo. Maybe just jack up the volume and just accept that the one guy is gonna be more obnoxiously loud?

The little I did understand before I gave up seemed like neat content - I've done AT practice and one NEO, and a middle range between 12 and 8 is a cool concept. Beyond that, interested in this season.

This is flat out wrong. Fly vexors, they're arguably the strongest of t1 cruisers, with active-tanked vexors being one of the best solo cruisers out there.

You will end up hating yourself with only jdc4. There are already a ton of chokepoints created by phoebe for JDC5 caps, JDC4 caps have it even worse. If you want to use it purely for logistics within one region, you can probably maybe get away with 4, but for any sort of combat use 5 or gtfo.

Let him hate himself. If he's relying on other people for cynos, expect fleets to leave your stupid rear end behind. This is why we say 'JDC V or get out'.

You could get away with less before they nerfed jump ranges, but at this point ranges are so miserable that I wouldn't bother trying to get away with less.

Are Marauders a big deal to wormhole life? Seems like they'd be great for sleeper sites.

Not really any more. You can still solo C5 sites in a marauder, but it leaves you extremely vulnerable - anything with a weapon can spawn the drifter, which will proceed to ruin your poo poo. Previously, that wasn't a problem, so all you had to worry about was locals logging in, someone stumbling through one of the connections, or fresh hostiles rolling into you.

They're still pretty solid for clearing rats out of profitable C5 gas sites. You also can run C4 and down sites with them, with C3 being the most profitable, but there's poo poo that's way less expensive and vulnerable that can do that, so people don't bother, mostly.

That said, as a PvP platform, solo marauders in holes can be a hell of a lot of fun, if bads are willing to feed into what they presume is an expensive killmail. Or you run into a bait marauder that can locally tank like a triaged FAX.
