Years ago I somehow managed to be named IK of FYAD after making maybe two posts in there, one of which was in the raffle to be named IK. Some dude kept reposting the same "I like burritos" thread every time I deleted it for like three days straight.

How do i figure out what my old eve dudes are worth in cash so I can sell them?

total up the market value of any assets on them + the market value of the injectors you can create by draining them of skill points (you can't extract below 5 million SP, each extractor sucks out 500,000 SP)

I've been winning EVE for a couple of years, and even though I'm pretty sure the answer is :downs: I still have to ask: who in the hell puts 23b worth of rigs on a T3 destroyer and then puts another 9.5b worth of faction ammo in cargo? Are those kb prices even close to correct?

I haven't played w/ goons since like 2007 (and only played for like five months at all between now and then) but I have vague memories of DBRB joining and making GBS threads up comms for fleets he wasn't even in and suas yelling at him to shut the gently caress up. This was back when the little bees video was still new and cool. My memory is not very good, so if I can recall someone being a spastic shithead for over a decade, chances are they're drat near intolerable. Alternately, he's been so consistently hated in the various SA EVE threads I've just internalized it and my brain is making poo poo up.

True. Nothings stopping them from totally wasting them to where they can only fly a rifter but with 2m skill points that don't really help it.

EVE's new player experience has always been hilariously bad, remember this poo poo?



I tried getting back into the game last year-ish after 10+ years off and even though I vaguely remembered how to get around the interface and actually do poo poo in the game, I still spent more time looking things up on EVE University and fumbling around than actually doing anything, much less having "fun". The training missions were way better than when I originally played but still basically amounted to "here's a Venture, go shoot rocks" for an hour, after which you've got a couple of small ships and no idea what the hell to do from there. If you join a corp or alliance with a good program for new players you'll have access to a community of some sort and maybe start getting some social interaction that might draw you to log back in, but even then you're likely to spend a couple of weeks flying a destroyer around scavenging behind someone ratting in a super to make ISK. The days of Rifter tackling actually being useful are long loving gone.

Only someone from a land of eternal winter and depression could make a game like EVE and be like "yeah, THIS will suck in people with the attention span of a gnat". I'm amazed they still have new players downloading the client at all.

Did the SP giveways/triglav invasions/etc. overlap the blackout, and for how long? Kimsemus has a point, if there are multiple concurrent factors/incentives leading to increased logins and player activity that's cool and all, but looking at those increased AU metrics and attributing them solely to the blackout is wishful thinking at best, and that kind of math is right up CCP's alley

I do agree with Falcon on one point, asset safety was always stupid. If your space house with all your poo poo in it gets blown up, the poo poo in it should blow up too (or drop as loot)

Too much effort? For people who do logistics poo poo on the regular? (And I don't mean space priests). Either it really would be a huge pain in the rear end and GSOL doesn't have as many autists as I would've expected, or said double-secret probation list does exist and fight club rules apply

Toilet Eve Thread continues to be an amazing read. They just got the corp wallet yanked by a chud after they called him out as a piece of poo poo.

I'm too lazy to read the whole thing but at first glance I'm missing the chud part and seeing folks trying to enable and enforce some sort of weird quasi-"juche thought" (no pun intended) political guild ideology poo poo in a space game for your phone. It has been entertaining so far, though.

how do you even get lost on a fleet? Also how do you get lost on a fleet and then assume that everyone else on that fleet should like wait for you or help you find them, especially if you're flying some t1 garbage pile that is worth less than a single module on every other ship.

lack of attention span + entitlement issues (this also conveniently explains American politics)
