I have a cormorant named Shootz II (the first one got exploded doing the Sisters of Eve arc when my PC crashed) and my heron is named Scanz. I am not as good at cute names as Videogames SAForums

When did you start playing EVE if I may ask?
If you started recently, we can always give you a headstart by sending you a couple millions.

I have 54m, which doesn't seem too bad for a 10 day old character, I think.

I last played back in '08 with goons when we were moving into Delve but gave my accounts to squad members and haven't been able to recover them, so I started a new trial.

Speaking of my old accounts I googled one of the character names (the one that's in PL now, Naomi Ashikaga) and apparently there was some sort of homegrown involving it on GF.com that showed up in a public wiki page, got to see some titties. One of the better things playing EVE has done for me.

Can you explain for a scrub? I get the falcon is an ECM boat and I think ECM is supposed to suck now (?) but short of "why was this guy moving 1 billion worth of BPOs in a force recon" I don't know enough to understand why this was so laughable

Does gsf have a "didn't want that player anyway" narrative for everyone who left?

from a noob's perspective this is sad/funny in a couple of ways:

1) "oops jumped instead of bridged MY TITAN", joins TEST (who I gather is a joke?) to hang with RL bros, begins posting hurf all over SA eve threads about "goons suck, I'm glad I'm out, look at you losers"
2) goons actually biting on said hurf

Force Auxiliary Skills
We were planning to refund all isk spent and sp trained in the now defunct Force Auxiliary skills along with this conversion. However we have encountered some complications that mean that we do not feel confident delivering this tomorrow. This will still happen in the coming weeks (Or at the latest by the next release). Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

How many weeks' worth of SP is this holding hostage?

I don't know. I was doing a mission where I got onto this acceleration platforms and it took me to some data sites and relic sites.

Then I had to scan for a relic site, but I don't have half a clue what I was doing with the scanning. It took me about 30 minutes to get a scan to go from 34% to 70% and I don't know what I was doing to change things or how to improve it! Also hacking confuses me too!

Sounds like you were doing one of the career agent missions for exploration.

HERE is a textual guide on scanning that I found useful, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S2nH4q6ULw&t=232s is a quick video tutorial on basic scanning.

Basically you're going to launch your probes, roughly center them around a cosmic signature (red sphere, ring, or dot in the map display) and hit the Analyze button. As you repeat this process you'll keep reducing your probes' scan radius and narrowing down where the signature actually is until you get a warp-in for it. It will take a few minutes, at least it does for me as a new character.

All of this talk of mayo on fries is giving me flashbacks to the very round girl in high school who constantly complained about her weight but every day would sit down with her equally round boyfriend at lunch and demolish 3+ slices of disgusting cafeteria pizza with fries smothered in mayo for a side. I was seated next to her in a class a couple of hours later and had to smell the SBD aftermath.

So no, mayo on fries is not acceptable

actually according to a friend of mine, gov cheese wasnt bad at least in the 80s

some of it was like Velveeta, some of it was more like thick orange play-doh that smelled of unwashed feet. I grew up relatively poor so in grade school I helped out in the cafeteria as part of a free lunch program. The honey that was served with chicken nuggets came in a giant can with "USDA Grade C" stamped on the side, the cheese came wrapped in wax paper with USDA writing on it, etc. This was early-mid 80s

Cheese isn't supposed to be a neutral odor, the best tasting ones usually stink a bit.

nah, I get that, but this didn't smell like cheese at all. The stuff marked cheddar smelled vaguely like cheddar, but the stuff marked "American" didn't smell like Kraft slices, it smelled like a bum's feet.

I was tooling around on Sisi in C5 wormholes this morning and kept seeing Naglfar after Naglfar. I started chatting up one of the testers and he said that they figured out how to solo capital escalated C5 sites with Naglfars. They just have a couple buddies warp to the site to trigger the escalation and then they warp off while the Naglfar solos it. They can even blap the frigates all by themselves as long as they have a web fitted.

Soooo yeah. C5 residents are about to get Rich. As. gently caress.

Fit for EHP, not for tank per second, you should be able to fit enough of a buffer tank on a procurer to get close to or right at 100k EHP against kin/therm, meaning you can last long enough for Concord to show up and blap whoever is ganking you unless they bring a shitload of catalysts/taloses/whatever, at which point it's not worth it unless they're just trying to make a point
