Real post....

Do the leaders of the eve goons really call themselves the directors?


CashEnsign posted:

yes but it's because of the name of the corresponding game mechanic so it's not a goon thing sorry

they also call themselves the Illuminati, which is a name they chose for themselves and isn't because of any corresponding game mechanic, which is lol

Wait, is he that guy who took up most of the time allotted at a fanfest panel to ramble on and on and on about whatever group he was in, leaving the rest of the panel a couple of minutes each for their presentations?

Yeah, gently caress ever having to listen to him again

Has Star Citizen just poo poo itself or is DSmart trolling on the twitters?

Not yet. The guts are rumbling and there's a few wet farts, but the diarrheal colonic spasms are still yet to occur

Do I need a sisters launcher to fire a sisters probe?

No, and you don't need to use Sisters probes/launchers to scan either, it just makes it easier

Edit: each race has a frigate that has a bonus to scanning (Magnate, Heron, Imicus, and Probe); there is also the Astero, which gets a great bonus but is pretty expensive for a new player.

Well that's good. So I found a good price on combat probes. Will these work for exploration? Or do I want core probes?

Just core scanning probes and core probe laucher for exploration. The expanded launcher can fire off both core and combat probes, but you only need the combat probes to hunt down other players

Data and Relic sites don't have rats, so you don't need to bring a combat ship for them. You might want to bring a mobile depot in your cargo if you need to swap your fitting between which mid-slot module you need to do the hacking minigame once you've found a site, though.

Also, quoting my edit about the scanning frigates in case you missed it :)

The Stratious gets the same scanning bonus as the Astero, if you want a cloaking drone U-Boat in cruiser size

There was an out-of-game tool called EveMentat that was good for station trading; it has been replaced by Evernus which has stayed up to date with the changes to the EVE Api but this youtube vid for EveMentat works for Evernus as well.

What I liked about it was how it integrated with the in-game-browser which made it easy to check the market in-game then export the data, see what orders needed updating, and then easily update those orders back in the game.

Hello chill thread. Is there a way to import an EFT txt block into Pyfa for strategic cruisers? I know T3s slots depend on what subsystems they have, but when I try to import a fit into Pyfa I get the subs and the cargo, but no high/mid/lows.

Here is a chill picture for you all in the meantime :3:

What Darth Cookie said. If you able to use the same ship maintainence arrays as him, you've got between now and when he builds a citadel to do a number on him. If he doesn't give you starbase roles, you can still eject his ships and bump them out of the forcefield for your buddies to jump in and fly away. Check all the POS storage hangars for modules and loot etc as well.

If I wanted to check the prices of things is there a neat website that lists all regions? I'm going to expand my fleet (two mining ships to add! :D I also think I have the skills for interceptors now as well) and I have no idea where the best place to buy them is.

Eve Central https://eve-central.com

Here's the buy and sell orders for Covetors, for example

And once the drones are out flying, there are keyboard shortcuts to make them attack etc. From memory, "f" is attack and "shift+r" is return to drone bay, but it's something you can check (and change) in settings>keyboards shortcuts
