BPT doesn't belong in that list. It isn't making fun of black people, it's an aggregation of hilarious Twitter posts by black people and the comments are usually fuel for schadenfreude posted by tryhard white kids.

Genuine question -- does anyone think that there's room for a no-politics-allowed "Eve game mechanics" thread?

This thread is rotting garbage, but the chill thread is too silly for me. I just want to let my mental encyclopedia loose and legit discuss ship/mod balance and talk spreadsheets without a bunch of d-names making ten different single-sentence posts and spamming static in every page.

I have actively moved fitting questions that I wanted you to see from this thread to the chill thread because of drama or shitposting going on at the time. Apparently you aren't reading the chill thread often.

Lately there have been a fair number of questions around mechanics, isk making strategies, fitting, etc. there. There's obviously at least some appetite for that type of posting in the thread.

Space priesting for groon is going pretty awesome. I don't know wtf I'm doing half the time but the other half I'm saving lives and ~denying killmails~ and it owns.

Question: I restarted my PI empire and the prices right now are completely bonkers because of citadels. Any ideas how long this is going to last? This is like, saudi oil money or something. I'm a subcap logi guy and don't know where to even begin to spend all this.

How many alts are you using? Are you doing this in nullsec or empire? Currently my krabbing is highsec L4s and :effort:

This reminds me of a newbie I met who got into a Navy Raven as fast as possible, fit with Faction hardware, who couldn't figure out for the life of her how to profit from missions after paying for repairs in station.

I'm making money, but I will have to start traveling a fair amount for work and won't have a ton of time to log in. PI seems like it requires relatively minimal time investment so even if the isk doesn't line up with what you can get doing burners (which I still have to turn down at the moment) it might be a decent way to grow my wallet while I'm earning frequent flier miles and hating my job

I still believe this thread is like a dam that holds back the raging river of threadshitting so that the chill thread may live downstream in peace. And every time the dam gets plugged up it leaks :v:


Who says miners miss out on the joy of tackling their first stargate :3:

But seriously shouldn't VG be using Hornets for Guristas? Although Hobs do hit their secondary damage hole so maybe it's not a huge difference.

in my very limited experience it doesn't matter much for the small rats that attack you in highsec belts - maybe if you're using T2 drones but for T1s just buy whichever is cheaper

Looking at this from the perspective of someone who hasn't played in a loooong time until recently and is very ill-informed:

When I was playing eight or so years ago The Mittani's public in-game persona was always about spin, generating hurf from BoB/et al., and ~the narrative~. As a line member all I remember seeing from him was propaganda posts and leaked enemy chatlogs on gf.com that were mostly entertainment. I can certainly see how he pissed off the entire EVE playerbase against him/goons. That was kind of his thing.

Regardless of the intent, the TMC.com/H1Z1/kickstarter/what have you just fed into the cult story. Seems like at some point Mittani lost control of said narrative, or at least failed at disseminating his version of it. It's no wonder everyone came out of the woodwork to curbstomp the evil goon menace when the opportunity arose and is crowing their asses off about how quickly Deklein fell.

That said, I can't help but :ironicat: at the d-name folks who were on board as long as things were going well, jumped ship only after poo poo hit the fan, and started trolling as hard as they could.

what is typical high-value loot that gets plastic wrapped? seems to me that if you're running a cargo-carrying ship somewhere in highsec and you've got plastic wrapped loots in your hold, you're basically baiting gankers to see how lucky they might get

hey what was the ratting myrmidon fit for ratting? asking for a friend.

I ran a passive shield fit so I could fit DDAs to take advantage of the drone bonuses

3 SPRs, 3 DDAs in the lows
AB, two hardeners, two LSEs in the mids
Drone nav link and some medium ACs in the highs, fit whatever utility poo poo you want there

This may oray not be a poo poo fit but it's in line with the stuff on the Eve-Uni website so it's probably not too far off

Thanks guys. Dr. Pangloss, I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with this too. Pets are great friends, and it's a damned shame they don't live as long as we do.

In slightly brighter news I applied to put my mining alt in RVCMF last night, ran my first successful burner mission two-boxing a Kestrel and a Griffin, and I discovered that a Noctis beats the crap out of MTUs and a salvaging Cormorant. I'm getting tired of highsec krabbing though so I may take a break to play the new Witcher expansion and Uncharted 4 while I figure out which goon corp I want to join. Wormholes sound interesting to me, so maybe GSF/Hole Squad.

I think it's CCP Quant who does all their statistics work? And does it in the most hamfisted, "I learned what a BI server is and plugged a bunch of database bullshit into it" way. When they talk about quantitative analysis of this game I get more frustrated than bored - and that should never be the case.

I kinda doubt any data scientist worth a drat is going to move to Iceland to work on a smallish MMO when they can make $400k+/year in the Bay area or any other number of places

Oh, and speaking of Laz, check out this stream clip where a Hel straight up alphas his Tengu (with ganglinks) using Firbolgs:

In ten years of playing Eve, the current state of fighters is probably the biggest balancing misstep CCP has ever made. Yes, even worse than Svipuls. Yes, even worse than Skynet fibos. Yes, even worse than AOE DDs (because at least that was only limited to a handful of players, rather than a ship that can be built for less than 1B).

That was straight hosed up. He'd just boosted to full shields (with full armor and structure) and then *poof*

This happens with some regularity. People get trapped in wormholes without probes for all kinds of reasons. There's a holesquad story out there about a multi day adventure where they killed the first guy offering to give them probes, loot the probes, then find out they don't have a mobile depot. It's one of the reasons eve is so cool. Other games rely on NPC quest givers but in eve other players themselves will give you fedex and escort quests. The most I've gotten for helping a stranded dude in a wormhole was 500m. He probably had a lot more than that in his dst and pod though.

Within my first two weeks after starting a new account I rescued a guy who had jumped into a hole he found in Perimeter, forgot to bookmark the entrance, somehow warped to a moon uncloaked and got popped by a POS. He didn't want to trash his implants and was asking in noob corp chat for help. I did not get a nice payday, but it was cool helping someone out.
