Cool. You guys should get on sometime and show me some cool shit like fly around with your huge ships, I've yet to see one.Originally Posted by Zhais
You're fine with the basic ones for now. And a tip for agents and mission running crap, when you dock into a station, there's a blue info button on the top right corner of the menu, and when you click that there's an Agents tab that you can browse through to find higher level agents.
Go for the highest quality ones you can find, unless they're 18 jumps away in 0.3 or something. The higher the agent quality the more Loyalty Points you can get, which you can use at the LP store to buy some really nice gear / implants / hardwiring / etc etc for "free" technically.
When I have a few months sub fee to spare I'll play again, driving lessons+xbox games mount up ya'know!Originally Posted by Kiro
Mmm, yes, Xbox. Assassin's Creed has stolen me away from EVE. But only until a skill finishes training. Then I immediately ignore everything and start up a new one.
And Magus, I'll fly around in my Raven if you want. It's pretty big, I guess. Battleship-sized.
Fuck yea. Sometime tomorrow totally, I am probably going to sleep in until 2 PM.Originally Posted by Kiro
HAY IM ON WAR IZ EVERY1
brt, lol
I've heard there still around, not entirely sure ever since The Big Blue got wiped from the face of 0.0, but theres a lot of corps that are out there to help new starters, the one I was apart of was called "Gravis Corp", they helped me out a lot before I got tired of empire and made the move to 0.0Originally Posted by Viq
Patch notes are up for the upcoming update, yay for 3 turrent slots on the raptor! >.>;

Meh. Rocket Raptor fun tiem I guess.
Edit: Well this is fanfuckingtastic, the alliance my corporation joined is up against BoB.
BoB is that huge corp everybody hates right?
it's.. complicated. basically Band of Brothers(BoB alliance) benefited from some favors from a Dev and a result of this has been a very large ideological campaign (it didn't help that for a while after ASCN fell BoB was pretty much the only group utilizing Titans)Originally Posted by Maguspk
so there's two major political power blocs right now - the Coalition, headlining groups like Red Army and Goonswarm and the greater BoB alliance.
BoB is the smaller group right now - the coalition controls much more space (the number BoB likes to through out is "90%" but that's probably an exaggeration) and has a much larger fleet (last week they were sieging 6 systems simultaneously, BoB managed to beat them all back) and a stronger industrial base. but BoB has less territory to defend, is generally considered the stronger pvpers and thanks to the combination of Cynojammers+DDD and the general strength of a fleet w/supercaps vs. non-supcap blobs it's easier to defend than to attack in 0.0 right now.
Thankfully though, Titans aren't as rare as they were a year or so ago. In our alliance there are a few corporations with the sole purpose of piloting capital/super capital ships. I have yet to see them personally, but from what I've been told our small little chunk of the alliance has 7 Titans. We're about to raid the Stain region as well I believe, so it should be a fun couple of months. Fortunately for me, I'm going to be on the "frontlines", so to speak, since I'm the only person in my Corporation who has any Electronic Warfare skills to speak of, so I'll be out pissing people off in my Falcon. If not that I'll most likely be a tackler.
When I look at my skills I'm kind of disappointed with myself because I have more SP in Electronic, Navigation, Engineering, and Gunnery than I do in Missile Operation. I'M CALDARI. :<
the number of titans (there's at least 30 known and another 30+ estimated hidden) is getting kind of scary honestly; I'm not looking forward to titan blobs.
although honestly it's cynojammers that are the real culprit in why space is so hard to take these days: titans aren't nearly as scary when you can counter with other super-caps.
The whole aspect of POS warfare really iritates me, its a constant grind of Reinforce the POS -> Wait 6 - Whatever hours -> Oh crap they've guarding it + massive lag + dead capitals, and its even worst with those damn cynojammers. In a sense I'm sort of glad that I'm away from all that for the time being, getting a bunch of good fights in Great Wildlands with the rest of FIX.
As for BoB, its sort of mixed, you either love them or hate them - same with RA/Goons. Good bunch of guys to fly with, probably even better to fight against, although their aspect of baiting and luring the stronger PvP players from friendly alliances annoys those who are sort of on their side.
Stain's always a good region to fly through, long history of being in near constant warfare, although the bad part of it is some enemies will only undock from the NPC stations when they have a large numerical advantage.
And database errors make me emo, extended maintenance
I just got into a corp, "Drop Bears". Apparently they're a training corp for PvPers and once you're good enough you can join the sister corp which occupies 0.0 space or something. Sounds cool Q_Q
Yeah this extended maintenance crap is getting annoying. I dunno wtf 02:00 GMT is in PST. ._.
PST is GMT-8, so it's... like 6pm. you're probably on daylight time though, so it's actually 7pm.Originally Posted by Kiro
Patch is up for download now, but the server isn't accepting connections. THERE ARE 7 PEOPLE ONLINE THOUGH, BLASTED GMs!
I wanna PvPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP~
Edit: Yay it's up.
Can I join that too? I'm in a corp atm but almost nobody is on usually. Our alliance is probably really weak too since I get emails alot talking about how they need someone to train Bombers or whatever. Let me know if you can hook me up with someone to talk to about joining.Originally Posted by Fallso
P.S.
I am training my Memory learning skill to level 5 then finishing Intelligence and then the other learning skills off and on when I'm not online. I finished Level 1 for Cruisers this morning before switching back to level 5 instant recall before I left this morning. So when I get home I think I'm going to buy a Vexor, I think that's the best cruiser right? It's got 100 drone capacity for my Drone loving, so I'll probably get like 5 light scout drones and then sentry drones (wtf 40 km range? YES PLEASE) once I finish Drone Interfacing IV.
I'm curious how do you tell how much damage something does? I know there's got to be some drawback to the insane range Sentrys get in the way of lack of damage or something, as I see it they seem like the perfect option for me since I will be in a very slow ship. Which leads to my second question, is there any way I can make the vexor faster than the 170 m/s it starts with? That just seems unbearably slow because even in my Incursus which hits like 500 m/s I feel like I'm going slow.
Oh ya and, someone told me the max drones you can have is 12 in my corp; then my RL friend said the max is 8 with the skill to add modules to control more. Which is the truth? I'm currently believing my RL friend over the scrubs in my corp. 8 drones is still quite a bit. Also, the guy in my corp said drones on the fast end can go like WAY faster than 750 m/s and that my 750 m/s drone was relatively slow. Is this true? I spent like an hour looking through drones stats and such and couldn't find any that exceeeded the 750 m/s mark and most including the fighters were like 250 m/s or 300 m/s. Was he referring to the max velocity? In which case, how do I get my drone to fly at max velocity full time, can it do that? Or does it only do that when approaching a target like I've noticed?
(Lots of questions but hopefully they're relatively easy for players such as Kiro and others in this thread, thanks)
