What's the minimum sp amount and K/L isk ratio required to be admitted to RVCMF and do I need to provide full API? Also is it all right that I only have 3 super cap capable accounts?

Is it worth training Connections to V? I don't even understand how it works since its making my effective standing for corps more than triple while the skill supposedly only gives a 4% bonus.

Why is the Mach the go to ship for blitzing? Is it solely because of it's warp speed? And is it still a good choice for doing missions straight up and not just blitzing?

Aegis Sov mechanics made renter alliances not necessary for the most part, so most of those corporations got absorbed into GoonSwarm Fed as a [Section 8] Corp. They were renters who paid for ratting, but were part of the main alliance to help GSF keep its ADMs up which ties into the sov system.

Which makes for a better non-blitzing mission runner, a Mach or a Maelstrom? From what I can tell the Mach seems superior in every facet.

So for level 4 missions are autocannons or artillery better? Autocannons have better DPS and tracking but artillery has better range and alpha.

If I overheat I can tank up to 800dps. So I guess I'm relatively safe.

Here's my fit.



I love it, level 4s are a breeze where I can tank everything on grid without a dent and when I finish training Shield Comp V and HSM V it will be totally cap stable even with the MWD on. But as you can see I only have 61k EHP. Any thoughts?

CommonShore posted:

your EHP with the invuln off is what matters. Also keep in mind that you might be able to get the exact same resists out of tech ii or x-type mission specific hardeners instead of the invuln + the boost amplifier, at much lower cost (and thus much lower gank risk)

Even with your invuln on, it would only take 7 tornadoes to make you evaporate faster than you knew what happened, and 7 tornadoes costs much less than half of what your low slots are worth. In other words, you'd be profitable to gank.

e. other fitting advice:
you don't need to be cap stable and perma run your tank. Put on the least amount of tank possible and decline any missions that aren't blitzable.

I'm not trying to blitz missions right now since I'm not trained to do burners. Since I can't do burners I won't be able to sustain my standings when I constantly decline every mission I can't just blitz.

If I have to do level 4s straight up don't I need my tank to be near cap stable?

I know how absolutely mind numbing POS warfare was. And I understand the huge strain it took to maintain the drat things. But it was far better than the stupid poo poo we have now. With POS warfare the wars involved actual campaigns.There were ebbs and flow to wars, definitive victories and defeats, and progress could be objectively measured by the ingame mechanics. Individual battles over particular systems mattered where one key day could decide the fate of the whole war. And these things naturally lent themselves to being very easy to follow for people not involved in the war. So pubbies and people who didn't even play the game could feel invested in following a wars progress. Which undoubtedly helps CCP's bottom line by itself.

I'm sure there is a non POS warfare way of capturing this kind of gameplay again but holy poo poo Fozzie Sov is the exact opposite of what is needed.

This has got to be some intricate scam right? That's infinitely preferable to the idea that there's a real life charity going around to sick kids in hospitals and making them play EVE. Who the gently caress would think that's a good idea? They put up the first non j-space keepstar today so I don't know what the gently caress.

Just give them Mario Kart 8 and you'll have kids entertained for hours it's not that loving hard.

What does this charity expect to do? "Alright kids, here's what we call a burner mission, don't gently caress up."

Wait, I figured it out. The sick kids are going to function as sweat shop workers grinding out burners and incursions for the "charity"

CCP should allow the charity Citadel but ensure that every single bit of isk produced or traded through it goes directly to the charity fund. If the charity is honest about their intentions why would they object?
