balistafreak posted:Find me a person who unironically enjoyed the mechanics of a huge, politics-fueled fleet fight and we'll find us a liar. I'm sure the schemers and diplomats are having their own version of fun, but the idea of being CTA'd for some big fight coming up and then having to sit through hours of TIDI "because it's important for the corp/alliance" is enough for me to never even consider applying to GSF proper. That, and I know from enough MMOs with goons that the average line goon is just as bad, if not worse, than a pubbie in terms of "how smart" and "how pleasant to be around". Depends, if there's no TiDi, everyone in the winning fleet enjoyed it. If there is TiDi, and Supers are dying, everyone killing supers enjoyed it. Highsec is an interesting place, but most people get tired of taking candy from big dumb babies after a while and move on to more eventful things in-game (or other games). Kimsemus posted:I'm not sure about PL, but I know NCdot pretty much went all in. We didn't hold anything back and really had nothing left to throw into the fight. By the time I had logged in (late US TZ) we were told not to login supers, and Phal had started tallying losses for reimbursement. Anyone saying we weren't hosed from the moment Manny dropped sov is an idiot and a liar. Xolve fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Feb 1, 2016 |

justsharkbait posted:I still don't know why people think that though. Never once did I hear anything like "oh we got this boyz!!" It was understood we were hosed. PL may have been a bit.....overly optimistic, but I mean we knew what we were losing versus killing. We killed Sort Dragon, for most of PL- that was enough.

Unfunny Poster posted:DUST 514 barely affected EVE, but it did have some stuff that affected things. Mostly in the Faction Warfare systems, but the assumption by players was that the PS3 had limitations to it etc. so that's why it was limited. It only ever had any impact on FW areas because... some of those nerds took FW seriously enough to play a lovely console-based FPS to ensure certain systems never flipped (or flipped faster). Most of the time, outside of highly contested systems however, it just didn't matter, at all- ever.

crew posted:Yes they utilize the same advanced participation metrics as PL = x amount of killmails per month or get out. Why bother joining a PvP Alliance if you're not interested in PvP? crew posted:That slackchat is all Taylor Swift gifs, regurgitated 4 chan, 8 chan , 9gag memes and terrible pubbies vying for developer attention. Well, a terrible pubbie is responsible for the Bastion modules for Marauders- what's the worst that could happen? Wait- we know what that is- they get hired by CCP and we get to experience a newly defined variant of 'balanced'. Xolve fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Feb 7, 2016 |

crew posted:Well the problem in this case was: the dude was a pr0 logi pilot who joined mad pvp fleets but he either didnt fit a whoregun or get on enough mails. The system failed, he got earmarked for purging then he lost his poo poo and his titan. To be fair, NC. is full of incompetents that don't really have any real 'enjoyment' from playing the game except to circlejerk about how loving awesome they are- in a nutshell it's just one group of idiots patting each other on the back about how much better they are than anyone else inside their own little safe space- besides, if you can just kick anyone out that points out that you're just as poo poo at EVE as just about everyone else in the goddamn game, nobody can rain on their parade. I'd say that the leadership in smaller alliances (if your fleets never break 100 pilots on average, congratulations, this is you) should have a pretty decent understanding of who regularly volunteers to play space priest, stock doctrine ships/ammo/boosters, or do any of the other mind numbingly poo poo tasks keeping an alliance running entails; but thankfully- we have NC. to consistently point out how not to run an alliance, treat it's members, handle money moons or fly alliance tournament ships. TL;DR Never trust anyone that says they're 'good at EVE'.

Khablam posted:Mostly the people who will disagree here don't see their alliance as "a PVP alliance" but rather their alliance no matter what they want to do. If we want to go on fleets 12 hours a day for 6 months, then mine for 6 months we can, we don't have some shitlord saying we aren't playing the game right during period 2. There's nothing wrong with doing whatever you want to do in game, honestly- the best thing you can do in EVE is find people interested in approaching the game in a fashion that aligns with yours. Even in PL, despite being relatively space rich at the time, there were plenty of options to shoot red boxes, get a money moon, or play space trucker for alliance rewards.

Torpor posted:The PL super fleet also makes sense to have on-line in case of an Imperium capital op or to act as a preventative measure hopefully ward off a capital escalation. PL can flash form supers in minutes, the fact that they were already logged in means they weren't in fact 'setting up the trap' and we're online as a potential response/deter Imperium Supers. The whole 'IT'S A TRAP' narrative is woefully stupid and misinformed.

Altran posted:Ok I have been on pl.pl forum for my phorde spy (can you even call it a spy?), and I stumbled upon snigg public recruitment thread, one of the question that gets asked alot in there is to post a dread travel fit, and someone even went as far as saying none of the thread in the recruitment forum is correct. i am just curious, what is a correct dread travel fit? i think the inquirer didn't gave enough information , do i expect to travel with a group, or solo? am i using jump drive or star gates, etc... When 'Dread Travel Fit' is called, it means 3 istabs and 2 hyperspatials. When 'Cap Fit' is called, it means fill your mid and low slots with Cap Recharges and Cap Power Relays. This is to ensure you're at jump cap once your fatigue reactivation timer goes away- this is called in situations where you're jumping to a mid to drop a super or something similar and there isn't a station to mid from (as docking resets your capacitor). edit: been out of game for a while.

Altran posted:Thanks, are these practice used in Titan and Supers? For example, a fight is participated 10 AU away, there is 1 mid point with 1 station, Titan/Super is travelling with normal caps, are/should these Super caps usually also "travel fit"? Or the usual practice is wait for carriers to cap them up? Depends on the situation and how many people are traveling. Usually though Supers and Carriers cap up titans, then themselves, then jump when everyone's ready. In a post-Phoebe world, that 5 minute reactivation timer helps immensely; as before if you couldn't manage to cap up in a timely manner with or without mindflood often you'd be left to fend for yourself until you were ready.

Altran posted:I extracted my Nyx solo some times back, I have done like few gate jumps and few cynos. I wasn't shaking tho, was too busy trying to time my cynos to self-destruct. Please donate a Titan (Rag or Lev or Avatar please) so I can move that solo as well, and will record it for everyone's pleasure. :tia: It feels like that moment when you're barreling down a road, take a long curve, and see a cop- and you just know. You know you're getting pulled over. Then you don't. It's horrifying and liberating all at the same time.

Hagop posted:How do I tell if a system is gate camped? This:  Find any fit on zkill you might want to import.  Click on the Meta tab  Pick the export option that works best for you, use 'EFT' under 'Lossy Formats' at the bottom (works for Pyfa as well)  Copy.  Paste  Note- the green skill book icon on the top right- Yay! I can fly this.  Note- the red skill book icon on the top right- gently caress! I'm missing skills. BAM. If you have a character API for Pyfa (it just wants character sheet) it will tell you if any of the fits are unusable, the price of the fit is on the bottom right, and you can use CREST to export a fit you like directly to the game client, then open it in Jita and push 'Buy All'.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Looking through the killboard it seems to me that tech 3 cruisers basically crush everything. Is that accurate? Depends really. Tech 3 armor cruisers are really well suited for destroying anything that uses large guns. It's a slow fleet comp though, and doesn't really fit a roaming gang very well. Once you drop them, you're committed to the fight.

Ynglaur posted:I've wanted this for years. Expand the hacking mini game and make it possible to do things like skip a shield timer, or disable a customs office for a few hours, or change gate dynamics slightly. I wish they did more with on-grid committed fleet battles than just having ships duke it out- deployable mini-structures with EWAR functionality would be cool, pulsing de-cloak devices... things like that. They'd have to put in a shitload of NOUSE code to stop them from breaking PvE or returning negative integers in wormholes probably, but maybe it would make fleet combat more interesting.

Ynglaur posted:That's a cool idea. I had a F&I draft on my old computer (from when I actually played EVE) that outlined a few ideas: Something that attracted missiles/gunfire (by type) like a gravitron pulse structure, or something GRIMDARK like that. Bomb decoys / Short duration pulse resist structure (bomb defense) Anchorable EWAR that affected the entire grid, and everyone on it. A 5 strength warp-jammer, that worked similar to mobile cyno inhibs. Decloaking pulse emitter thing thing. They'd have to do an amount of theorycrafting around these that I don't think they're capable of, I'd want them in W-Space but I don't know how poorly they'd interact with WH mechanics and they'd obviously need to be restricted into how many you could deploy on a single grid (like, one of each type, maybe just one?). Of course, they'd also have to be priced at a point that they'd actually be worth using.
