Folks in discord have discovered the wonderful wonderful world of Eve Echoes Twitch streamers, who apparently have no compunctions whatsoever about solo mining in nullsec while broadcasting their exact location to anyone watching their stream. :allears:

Hopefully someone is recording the stream when they get popped.

I have suggested when it happens that someone use the twitch clip feature to get the landing to kill as a clip in their channel preserving it so he can wear it with pride. (or flip out and ban the person that made it from his channel which is also funny and will need to be clipped). we should have our own recording though because I think you can hide / delete clips as the streamer.

This is perfect.

Dieting Hippo posted:

Yeah I pretty much feel the same way. It's silly to have to have each person who runs the mission create up to 9 separate contracts for specific ISK amounts after each mission, in what is a pretty poo poo UI for doing that. On top of that you're also losing ISK to contract fees, which is pretty much throwing away money. If you want the full payout for a story mission you're still going to need to run that multiple times anyway, and with more people in a fleet the number of times needed to run that mission increases a lot.

And lol at adjusting for joining late. The whole thing is hella' complicated compared to "Is it your book? You collect the story loot and payout."

Yeah with the way the game is currently set up it doesnt make much sense to do it any other way than if it’s your book it’s your money.

Based on how long the wall of text was when it was first suggested, it really sounded like people who wanted to play more casually for shorter sessions weren't having fun because they weren't playing long enough to get their missions run. Commiefleet seems like a perfectly good way to make sure people don't feel like they're "wasting their time" if their book doesn't get run.

It also wouldn't be so bad if the interface wasn't hot fuckin garbage.

Hell yeah dude. Glad to hear my guide is working out for folks. I know I saw you in that one dead-end system, I saw Clefairy in another, and I've seen more blues roaming. Pretty awesome!

(and yep, it was an Inquisitor - Inquisitors drop rig blueprints. Scouts drop datacores. I've always loved Inquisitors no matter where it is because there's always that possibility of expensive rigs, but Scouts in Caldari are serious money)

What’s the fastest ship you can do this in? The C2 with a MWD?

nakieon posted:

Any destroyer works for your small skills - if you have small drone skills go Algo, missiles Talwar, laser C2, etc. Just fit a MWD and go to town.

That being said, you can't go wrong with an interceptor type ship but you will kill waves slower... but you will be able to beat everyone to every crate. Destroyers beat everyone except intys but they can clear waves faster.

Hope that answers your question?

(My main uses Talwar trainer, my alt uses C2, they both clear about the same time. I covered this in greater detail https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3938701&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=11#post507790965 if you want to read my full details on this)

(While writing this post I just got 60M worth of rigs in a single Inquisitor. This must mean you are one lucky fella! Get out there!)

This is perfect thank you so much!

rocketrobot posted:

Range is a little more important than overall speed, unless you're stealing from pubbies.

I'm using a dragoon, which has a base speed that is 50ish m/s slower than a C2. However, I have a 30km drone range and stuck missile launchers on it as well. So, I can send the drones off at one target, missiles at another and they both melt almost instantly. This lets me clear out low level complexes crazy fast since I have an almost 30km drone control range and 28ish for missiles. The MWD is great for speeding from loot can to loot can. Otherwise, range is king.

tl;dr: You almost always need to be able to shoot 20km+ if you want to speed run. Beams just don't cut it.


aaand beaten

OK this makes a lot of sense as well!

Edit: Wait how did you get a 30km drone range? I don't see that as one of the dragoon bonuses

Edit2: Ah a drone and missile tracking stuff. Got it!

rocketrobot posted:

As per my above post, plan to get disconnected and have a cap stable set up where you can leave the armor rep running. I think shield reps turn off when you hit max shield. So, screw that.

The only issue is that at least with the dragoon and probably C2 if you use a MWD / drone and missile tracking you’ve got no slots left.

I can’t imagine these level 1 and 2s hit hard if they even get to you right?

Or is there a piece I’m missing here?

I was in a level 3 waiting for a respawn.

Drone mods are low slots. My set up is:
H: 2x missile launchers
M: 2x nos that I never use
L: MWD, Armor Rep, Drone damage module
Rigs: 1x drone range

I have drone 5 and advanced drone 2 or 3 for additional extra range.

Ok this helps I’ll play around with it and see how it feels. I don’t have hardly any drone skills but I could speed a few up for cheap.

Thanks! Seems like there’s quite a few options.

Not sure if this is a coincidence, but I've noticed that if I play EE for 12 hours the game will close and I have to relaunch it. I'm playing on BlueStacks though, so no idea if that's an emulator thing or a EE thing.

I'd go with a BS thing because I've had it do that to me too.

It might have been covered already, but is it worth grabbing the cognitive chips if you are happy to throw a bit of money at this?

And if so, is it worth getting the bundle or just the two cheaper chips?

It’s definitely worth it but I’m not really sure how worth it Is to get that last chip.

Kinda depends on how long you think you’ll play as it becomes more worthwhile over time.

I’ve made about 100m ISK since learning about high sec anomalies but I’m getting kind of bored with it. Mission running sounds fun but I’m not on consistently enough or for long enough stretches for lengthy goon pve ops. Part of me just wants to load out a stealth bomber and help clear out the horseshoe...

The news missions are decent paydays if you stick to the story stuff.

It's definitely going to go up even more. I believe it will hit 1mil ISK for each plex in a few months - making ISK is just too easy right now and once all the pubbies and highsec carebears catch onto the money train it's going to skyrocket further.

Theoretically, there's nothing stopping PLEX from hitting EO PLEX price, but it all depends on the ISK faucets in EE vs the ISK faucets in EO.

Yeah I see it going to at least 1 mil.

If you set your Maller up with pulse lasers and a plate or two, you can wade in and tank your way through T6 and T7 missions with ease, maybe with one runaway break. If you set it up with beam lasers, three Tracking Computers and an armor repairer for patchwork, you can take out the first tier of story missions solo (Spark of Rebellion, For Freedom, For Patriotism, Super Soft Drink).

Just warp in at 100km, be patient and let them come to you, and start popping small fries like popcorn at about 60km with one TC activation, which is good for two grouped shots. Watch for Elites charging in with MWDs, bug out if you start taking significant armor damage, lather rinse repeat until done.

This is the best advice.

You really only need one plate though. Two Nos and Two armor reps and I'd go with a Red and Blue armor res. You can clear the 5 million missions pretty easy you just need to pay attention a bit more but I've never had even a close call.

Just don't fly drunk and its easy peasy.
