If you going to do T3 stuff (and you should T3's are the best more useful ships in the game) just do regular pirate missions and or just go around scanning for DoD plexes. There are tons of regions of nullsec with no people in them were you can scan in peace.

What's DoD stand for?

its my boy Xachariah, how you been???

Pretty good, I got a hearing implant mid last year and I've gotten to the point I can make out what people are saying on voice com's. Mostly. Some. It's not perfect but better than the nothing previously. Decided to try out some eve as I wanted to be in fleets with voice com's, see how I fare.

Been in a sword fleet with Jay as FC and it was a lot of fun. Took a little time to get used to it but a guy called Uncle Pilot assisted me with backup relays and broadcasts.

I don't blame him, have you seen reddit? How are you supposed to have an invigorating debate with anyone if your posts are all hidden under collapsed comment chains thanks to disagreement downvotes?

Even if you're one of the heroic bee swatters no one will see your witty cutting retorts under a critical mass of back patting. It's depressing really. You aren't going to get any of the attention you crave among your peers so you're forced to wade into the stinking mire of goony autism. Just so you can stand face to face with someone, on equal footing, in a non-popularity contest, and accurately call them a wanker. No oversensitive Eve forum mods, no immense horde of downvoters. Just mano a mano.

Lets slap fight and call each other misinformed cunts and be glad we aren't reddit.

Incursions are much better money without having to actually own or defend space.

Failing that, blitzing FW missions in bombers.

You're denying the existence of a play paradigm followed by a huge pie slice of the rest of the galaxy. Look at a sov map and come back here.

For what it's worth I approve of the new SP thing. Biggest hurdle for new people is having to wait while you train requirements for stuff.

10k is a lot to new people but nothing to people who are vets with 50m. New blood is good for the game.

Have the IWI chatlogs been talked about yet? Someone gave me a summary and it boiled down to "rich boy buys friends."

e: also apparently setting up illegal RMT Alliances for SUAS and friends.

Rich guy? Apparently he lives in a trailer. Can you imagine living in a trailer and blowing the equivalent of what seems to be thousands of dollars on paying mmo mercenaries to do mmo things?

It's unfathomable to me, I would be cashing out, investing in real life things, chunking a mortgage, funneling money into a savings account. Not living in a trailer pouring money into a virtual bottomless pit.

The best thing you can do right now, is just remain calm, hop in some fleets and make reservations for your many corpses in space valhalla (if you're into that). Whatever this coalition is, it isn't a permanent thing- once we've planted our flags and finished this conquest the MBC will split up and there will no doubt be some agreements drawn and whatnot, but I don't see any of these alliances holding the North for any extreme length of time (certainly not 5+ years)- if you can get whatever you have out, do it. If not- well it's not the end of the world.

As far as I can tell, the Imperium strategy thus far is to bore us to death on some weird promise of future retribution. I'm just excited for this conquest to be over, and to ruthlessly feast on the small groups of players trying to stake their claim in the North, it should be ~content~ and ~good fights~ for the forseeable future.


This is much more difficult than you might imagine.

How come? Isn't he already trading large volumes of Isk to people apropos of nothing to "attack CFC"?

Seems it would be trivial to say "Oh yeah here's a 1T mercenary contract to Shitfuckers United to attack Wankers Incorporated" *IRL Shitfuckers United owner wired him $800, CCP can't check cause they're a game company in Iceland*

Thought experiment:

In one hand, you value your alliance identity and respect the identities of alliances fighting alongside you. You're mad that CCP slighted your allies by focusing just on one alliance's identity. In the other hand, you want to poach / absorb your allies.

What to do?

Answer: you take a bite out of CCP Manifest (I know this guy! He's an Atlanta CCP duder. We'd go to bars in Decatur / Druid Hills when I still played) then post the concern-trollsy exchange with CCP Manifest in an Illum chatroom that you know is suffering from continuous leakage.
