Very much so.

There's a ganker who targets streamers who stream their mining activities. Can't remember the name though.

I finished training for my first interdictor

Pretty sure this is the first >10 day skill train I stuck to all the way through (ed: on my main, not an alt training in the background)

Maybe I'll even log in and shoot at someone

Max skill probing dictor is some of the most fun times I've had in Eve.

If only boat could have stopped watching his own stream long enough to warp to my wreck and the bubbled enemy T1 destroyer fleet lemming around inside it

Awhile ago someone posted about some skills untraining since the patch. I just noticed some skills I am 90% sure I had trained on a character that seem to not be trained to v.

Was this an actual bug?

The Slack Lagoon posted:

Bunch of int/Mem skillls I feel like I trained before I moved off my int/Mem remap. Thermodynamics v, sensor comp v's graviton physics v

The problem is I can't 100%remember because I have~180m sp on this character plus my other guys and it's hard to remember what I trained but I did map to int/Mem for a year to train this poo poo

Thermodynamics V is nice if you overheat stuff at all. Sensor comps probably don't really matter much these days.

Kinda nice for booster ships/mission runners hoping to dodge scan probes.

did CCP say they have a plan to get rid of hisec stations? It's sort of weird to go into a system and see a handful of barely-used stations

Is there a good write up of the new citadel arrays they just introduced? Basically just a summary of what they do would be nice since I missed that stuff.

Re: Grath's Marauders, this is a fit he used that caused a Chimera to burn out its guns and require a titan to kill him.

Unfunny Poster posted:

Grath actually tends to prefer smaller fleets/solo stuff over the big gently caress off fleet fights. Something about thinking everyone else are idiots or the other.

So whats the story on Citadels?

Has CCP done anything to them other than letting them be couches for pilot's e-peens?

Did they advance the final solution for the POS?

TL;DR......reaction farms still a stick thing?

Oh I imagine so!

No more worrying about some corp mate stealing everyone's stuff.

I really need to re-sub.

1 or 2 plates, 2 eanms, dc, 1 or 2 ddas

capital ab, 2 tracking, 2 nav (maybe a capital cap battery)

cyno, nsa, and 3 fsus

use 3 trimark ii rigs

also have a travel fit (3 hyperspatials, bs mwd, 2 istabs, cap rechargers)

use your preferred light fighter, have a few flights of anti-fighter ones, and 2 flights of sirens

There's basically three go-to fits, one with shield buffer and one with armor buffer. You should probably pick whatever one fits best with your alliance, as most sane alliances standardize on either armor or shield.



Pretty much any capital should have a standard set of mods in their SMA so they can swap out as needed: travel fits, at least two heavy neuts, at least one capital neut, smartbombs, tackle, etc. Follow your alliance instructions there.

That said, if your alliance supports shield capitals and you have Minmatar Carrier trained, I'd suggest getting a Nidhoggur instead of a Thanatos. The former has a fighter velocity bonus, the latter has a hit point bonus; in many situations, fighter travel time is more important.

You may not want to. The Ninazu and Lif both have weird bonuses, and the Ninazu has a really awful slot layout.

Apostle/Minokawa:
* 5% bonus to RR amount
* 4% bonus to resists
* 5% bonus to capacitor size

Lif/Ninazu:
* 5% bonus to RR rate of fire
* 7.5% bonus to active tank amount
* 10% bonus to cap injector amount

So, when it comes to repping stuff in Triage, their niche is that they can cycle their reps fast enough to hopefully land between big packets of damage and prevent you from being alphaed. But in exchange, they use significantly more capacitor for their reps, so they can't keep it up for an entire Triage cycle.

Problem two: In order to make use of that injector bonus, you need to have an injector fitted -- otherwise, not only do you need more cap for your reps, but you have less cap to work with than the Apostle/Minokawa :\ That's not so bad for the armor-tanked Ninazu, but it's pretty bad for the Lif who wants to spend as many mids as possible on shield tank.

Problem three: You can generally get just as much active tank out of an Apostle as you can out of a Ninazu -- resists contribute just as much towards active tanking as an active-tank bonus does. In fact, for any given set of lows, the Apostle ends up being within 2-3k EHP/sec of a Ninazu -- and then does better, because the Apostle has an extra low-slot to work with.

From an FC perspective, given the choice between a Ninazu or Lif and no FAXes at all, I'll take what I can get... but I'd really rather see people in Apostles and Minokawas on average.

So for delve stuff, we've been theorycrafting lifs because of their dual armor and shield bonuses to save dumbs who get tackled. Yes theyre worse than a dedicated armor or shield fax, but for some people who have both armor and shield supercaps, or groups who are split having both sets of modules fitted to the ship, and only having to online one or the other while sitting on the keepstar saves 30+ seconds if you have to dock and redock with the nonsense timers has foisted on us.

ullerrm posted:

This particular fit doesn't make much sense to me. Most WH groups who use Nestor as logi do it because you can get massive amounts of tank and sensor strength and neut resistance on them. They're basically a fat Oneiros that won't get easily neuted out or alphaed or jammed.

(And they use a single plate and a ton of deadspace resist mods, because they want to keep the mass as low as possible while still having at least 150k EHP.)

This fit tries to do a bit of everything and fails at it all. It'd only make sense if it was being used as a refit and utility platform for a larger armor fleet.

cybertier posted:

Yeah I'm afraid those people might have about as much clue as I have. German wormhole corps is a very small niche to find a home in.
There was a second identical nestor which was the second logi for an about 10 ship strong armor fleet, consisting mostly of cruisers.
No "real" logi ship, but maybe because nobody really owns one? I didn't get to talk doctrine much yet.

Well they are really newbie friendly so maybe we will all grow together. As poor as we will be out of our C2 home.


I don't think they ever did C5 sites together and it's listed under pvp fittings.
I think I should bring up that Logistics Ships might fit out doctrine better.

To not get into politics but didn't Hole Squad use to live in a C5? Where are you guys nowadays? If I remember correctly that you are a member there.

A friend of mine has joined us recently and has taken a liking to exploration. Right now he's using a cheetah since its cheap and he's still learning the game but he has expressed his interest in an astero. He's doing mostly relic sites at the moment however he's hoping to be able to do some sites that may have npc's guarding them and possibly fend off other players. I know little to nothing about exploration and my EFT warrioring skill is at 1.

I came up with this for now but he can't use some T2 modules due to lack of skills so if its not T2 on this fit, its because he can't use it. I would like some input on how to make this fit better because I'm betting its poo poo.

So what am I doing wrong and how can I improve this?
