I've been out of EVE for a while, but I remember the ISRAD ~Schism of the Try-Hards~ and given what I knew about PL's "get results or get out" ~srsbzns~ culture, I'd imagine there's a toll that's taken when you hire yourself out to lovely alliances who can't properly defend themselves with their own members, see close-up how poorly they're administrated and managed, and reach a point where you wonder why even bother taking these people's isk when they're clearly holding space simply because no one's tried taking it yet.

If you kill everyone worth killing, the next alliance to die of apathy, boredom, and infighting is us. The Blue Donut is the dream of pubbies. Building Delve into an impenetrable fortress gives people a reason to envy and hate, and it'd be hilarious to watch the sand castle get kicked over eventually, too. Everything burns eventually.

Huh, I've got a Moros in VFK that's been alive since we lived in Angel space. I wonder how feasible it'd be to get a GM to move it, or if I'd have to resub for a month.

I have enough in liquid isk and assets to just replace it, but it sounds to me like supercarriers are doing the work of dreadnoughts now. I kind of want to save it simply because it's a lucky ship that survived every hot drop ever on it. It even survived a mistaken jump to a fully-armed BoB deathstar. EDIT: Never mind, Google's a wonderful thing.  Also, the Moros is in DO6H-Q, it seems. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Sep 20, 2018 |

Yet strangely enough, through roundabout reasoning and cause/effect, if he hadn't made Molle butthurt by being the first to build one, it wouldn't have created the vacuum in Feyth we temporarily filled when ASCN got rolled, which put us in a decent strategic position to headshot Delve. If he hadn't, we'd likely have never left Detorid.

Not sure if there's some way the corp can profit (like an affiliate link through CCP), but GMG just put up a ~yuge~ EVE sale today - not sure how many PLEX is required to resub an account, though (I made sure to trim anything that looked like a referral ID out of both links): https://www.greenmangaming.com/titles/eve-online-titles/ EDIT: 500 for 30 days. So this seems to be the best deal since it'd give you two months plus multi-character training for ~$22: https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/eve-online-star-pack-pc/ BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Oct 1, 2018 |

Seems they're on sale in Jita for ~1.092b each, so that $22 GMG pack not only comes with two months of Omega (factoring in the PLEX it comes with), but seemingly ~2.2b in saleable items, too - which works out to ~660 PLEX, which is enough for a third month plus a healthy amount to mess around with. By extension, the $42.50 one is a worse deal, because it comes with three months of Omega, 1100 PLEX (good for two months + ~300m) and two MCTs (2.2b in Jita). I guess it'd be different if the more expensive pack came with more MCTs. It also seems you can only buy one of each pack per account, which means you'd have to register under a new email to get a second.

Watch the new Korean company give EVE the SWG Combat Update deathblow. "Tier 3 Titans! Everyone starts with a Battleship! No more permaloss on items so long as you're on an 'Omega Supreme' account! Dear God help us recoup what we paid!" One thing I always wanted them to put in were formalized private stargates. Make them deployable only in heavily upgraded systems, and anchor them to upgraded outposts. And make it possible to aim a one-way stargate at a cluster of lowsec where the system you get spat out in is randomized. That'd give you some good wars, *and* spur PvE because you'd obviously need good upkeep to keep the private stargate network operational.

So I just had an idea - feel free to poo poo all over it: Black Ops Capitals No, not supercaps that cloak for reasons other than safespotting, but rather slick-fit slightly-debuffed carriers, dreadnoughts, and FAX that can use a capital-sized black-ops cloak. Give the dreads reduced damage, but augment it with a phenomena-style 'debuff' for enemy ships on grid (which should scale in intensity with the size of the fleet), and give the carriers less fighters to play with. But what I'd really like is the idea that these ships should be able to jump without a cyno beacon on the other side. It shouldn't be as precise as using a cyno, but the FC of the fleet these things are in should be able to aim at a constellation in the region they're targeting, and depending on the amount of ships in the fleet, the jump should be more accurate to a given system, to simulate being able to network the ships' navigational computers together for a more accurate blind jump. If you wanted to make it more 'black ops-ey,' make it so a scout needs to place a navigational beacon in the target system that will self-destruct after a given period, but will also show up on scan if you're dumb enough to drop one too close to a heavily-trafficked spot. Obviously the targets for these things would be anomaly runners and poorly-defended moon mining POSes. BIG HEADLINE fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Oct 9, 2018 |

The only thing that would make a Palatine keepstar worthwhile is if they renamed it to the Palantir keepstar, and the gimmick it had is being able to open huge stable K>K wormholes that could target regions - not specific systems.

I honestly don't know why they don't steal the mechanic from Elite and allow you to jump tremendously long distances with the fatigue building up at the destination. The longer you jump, the more fatigue you receive. I mean, having been on long-distance capital move ops, I can tell you right now that SCap/Cap FCs' blood pressures would go down immensely if it was a simple A>B procedure. And perhaps link it so jumps work like warp bubbles do now - only in a jump bubble, you've some time to go get yourself a drink/hit the bathroom quickly. As a counter, have it generate such a signature that the party you're attacking (and anyone who bothers to look at the galaxy map) can actually *see* the line of the fleet en route, and a general estimate of the time of arrival and the target constellation, but not the system. Maybe even add an upgrade to an outpost that can tell you the target system five minutes before the fleet arrives, or you can scan it out. CCP's new owners are going to be pissed if EVE stagnates and there aren't any headlines, and that's when really stupid poo poo gets implemented.

Rutibex posted:They should make T2 Corvettes Technically, these would be Interceptors. A corvette comes before a frigate in ship size ranking, so an interceptor is a cut-down frigate built for speed over firepower and hardiness. I've always thought there should be 'pocket carriers' (in the days before supercaps could use gates) which could use gates - but now that all capitals can transit systems like any other ship, perhaps pocket carriers should be able to operate in highsec? Or maybe even just a T2 battleship with a bay large enough to carry two fighters inside? You could tailor the fighter damage to complement the BS main weapon damage.

So I see CCP decided to add in player-placed stargates, but only gave them the range of a jump bridge.  , I guess?Being able to coordinate them with neighboring alliance's will be a boon, but I also foresee much  -ing with the implementation.

So, God help me, I activated the "Star Packs" I got from GMG on Kayl and Khan. Kayl I'm training toward a Rorqual, since while I'm sitting on ~30b in assets, that's enough to buy a Rorq, but it's not like I'm going to make my first act when coming back jumping in a super-expensive rock-sucker, but it does seem like a quicker way to get me the funds needed to get into an Erebus eventually. I can't for the life of me figure out what I want to train on Khan, so I just put Interceptors V and Jump Freighters IV in queue. I've got 1.374m SP banked on Kayl and 1.475m banked on Khan.

But yeah, I do have to train Industrial Reconfiguration V - thankfully I've got it plugged in and Level 1 trained, so no need to train Mass Prod V and AMP IV.
