Eve Online General - /eog/

Quick and Dirty edition

>Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
If you have to ask, you can't do it.

>I just started, what should I do?
Do the Opportunities then find the Career Agents & run all of their missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp. The game is only as boring as you are.

>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No.

yeah, from 2011

>gt 540m
don't know if you're simply going from the age/number or if you have personal experience with this card, but it consistently freezes in graphics-intensive applications and i've found several forum posts where other people have this problem. i have to underclock it to play anything.

oh well. at least i can play.

the bullshit that CCP is knowingly pushing about needing more than one account is the reason why I have always not recommended this game to any one. I love eve, not so much CCP and their fucking jew bullshit.

of course they always hide behind their bullshit of "get friends". ignoring the fact people will not do the shit alts are made for even with a gun to their heads. Fuck them.

They even have those skill injectors to further incentivize multiboxing since you can literally buy your way into having a better character.

Meh, I'd definitely prefer multiboxing gone even though it would immediatly impact me pretty negatively. The thing that would bother me the most is CCP catering the game for the ELITE PVP crowd by putting in closed arenas or some shit. I don't want the game being treated like a game, I want more realism/autism put in, more logistics, more ambiguity in mechanics, more incalculable uknowns.

kevin kun am I cute uguu

>arenas

the thing that I don't like about this is it would kill roaming pvp. we'd just have a wasteland with a load of shitters apparently pvping in jita 4-4. I like it when people can do their honourable duels organically rather than with special game mechanics protecting them from dishonourable fags

fw sites are pretty much arenas

very cute imicus-chan
call me when you get older

>waiting for a girl to get older

stop projecting
I grind 10~ bil in a day and the rest of the week is nothing but pvp, have lost 2 nyx and an aeon so far and I'm not afraid to solo jump them on the dumbest shit I can find.

I also get to mega bling my frigs and cruisers, bring dual links and shit on everyone I want and you can't stop me.

I can quad drop blops/dread on people, own 2 JF pilots and over 15 cyno alts that can light covert cyno with bombers on the same account as my miners.

I can build my own supers and caps.

I have dedicated T3C hunters that have actually scored super tackles and kills for my alliance.

I regularly FC and my alliance loves me.

Plus if I don't feel like grinding for a week I have hundreds of billions to fall back on to keep all my 24 accounts plexed for at least 2 years and even after that I have a pretty good job that can allow me subscribe all of them without breaking a sweat.

Not to mention I have so many different passive ways of income like R64s, manufacturing and slow market sales.

I don't get why you whimpy faggot think grindfags are somehow unable to also pay with real money and just plex/sub.

I'm sorry your patethic attempts at making isk with incursions and level4s with a shitty domminix kr whatever the fuck you do seems like such a big chore, but I can actually see the billion isk generate before my eyes with minimum effort in less than an hour.

All the starter ships are now legal in Japan/South America/China.

You may now sexualize the ships. How do you feel?

>I get 1 kill a week and everyone thinks I'm a faggot because I can't stop talking about my capitals

Yeah and I have a 10"x10" dick, 10 billion dollars, and a hot wife straight out of high school.

I'm sorry that being successful in a video game seems so alien to you.
I actually do feel sorry, never having to worry about isk is a rather good feeling.

Woudln't be surprised if you haven't felt this with real money either.

I'm usually top kills in my alliance with over 100 kills under zkill (last 7 days chary) all the time.

Cap and super kills and not common, but very satisfying and usually involve a lot more outskill and preparation than subcap kills, hence why they are more remarkable.

>mfw no mids

>caps
>skill

You realize there are people with trillions of isk and over 100 accounts like that yoyo guy and casino people?
Step it up.

t. never owned a cap before

can i ask what your favorite tenga style is? just curious, looking into them myself

>tenga
literal poorfag detected

>not having a 10k onahole collection

tfw no typhoon-chan onahole

If you could fuck a single ship, which one would it be?
And would it be in the high, medium, low slots or the tight rig slots?

The Venture, in its high slots.

Actually maybe the Prospect since its the gothic lolita version. I don't know, the ore frigates are top cute though.

i want to cuddle with a typhoon mommy
gib

>my dick when

Abaddon, that bitch is THICK, dayuum.

I feel like I'm the only one who loves 'phoons.

I specced specifically to fly them. Call me an idiot or whatever, I don't give a fuck.

I'm here shitposting about how great typhoons are all the time though m8

i fly what i like too, dont worry

the Venture family is one of the best looking ships in the entire game.

have you ever considered masturbating to typhoon

>never ever
pretty sure there was a few in the market, rather cheap like 200bil

...

i drew my panther in ms paint

>not typhoon

Are cyclones even usable? I've never used one or even thought of using one.

thats actually a great idea
thanks user

T1 Battlecruisers in general suck with only a few exceptions. They don't have appreciably more DPS than a T3D or cheap Faction Cruiser like the Nomen, but cost the same, can't speed tank and are less mobile in general.

The Myrmidon and Drake have some use in PvE and the ABC's in PvP but that's about it.

pls no, it's hard enough to fit already

navy harbinger is legit

>implying ships aren't primarily for PvE and PvP is secondary.

Yeah but it costs as much as a T2 Cruiser. Might as well get a HAC.

You forgot the Ferox.
Its a fucking monster right now.
Also all the Navy BCs are top tier right now.
And even if most are lacking in dps they still have way superior tank but sill not as costly and slow as battleships, so they are still great at being cost effective and destroying T3Ds that get close.

Thatzs what they said about the arty vagabond.

Honestly a lot of the specialized industrial ships look great.

>Barges/Exhumers
I think they are underrated, I especially love looking at Hulks and its a shame that its hard to find situations to fly them.
>Orca
Thats a fine looking ship too.
>Rorqual
Another great looking ship
>Noctus
Definitely cool, a lot of people wish MTU's didn't completely steal this ships thunder because even the idea of a cool specialized salvage ship is neato.
>Bowhead
Probably the best looking freighter

Some of these ships people have to fly excuses to fly them because they are kind of shit for in game purposes but aesthetically ORE is one of the best in my opinion.

>but aesthetically ORE is one of the best
I agree. I wonder why they think all the ORE ships need new models, I can think of plenty others that need it much much more.

why can you DD Orcas?

are all those yours?

Please son, have mercy, its fathers day.

I'm gonna DD you.

Soon I'm going to add two more alts to my mining alts and I'll have a full wing of miners. That will max my comps performance though.

SCs or HACs for anoms? I'm trained well for both but I've mostly spammed exploring / market games and made copious ISK over the past couple years while occasionally carebearing with RvB in frigs/shitfit cruisers, but I kinda want to spend my ISK on something more substantial, but not outright stupid.

yes
for you

I have 20 total, leaves room if I have mates that want to join. I could run more on another system if I really wanted to but I'm content with this number.

t3cs are better than hacs in every way. unless you want to do drone memes, because the proteus can't do a full drone thing and be comparable to an ishtar/vni

Rattlesnake.

Well, of course they're better. The question is if they're vaguely comparatively economical to one another when neither would struggle with a good portion of anoms.

progression is VNI to ishtar to rattlesnake to carrier

t3c for escalations

I assume you use the raven for dealing with rats?

Right now I'm using 8 procs with x5 t2 light drones each for a total of 40 drones and I'm assigning them to my squad leader that has pretty good drone skills. He has a target painter in the mid slot but I'm having trouble getting the assigned drones to have the same range as his drones.

Theres battleship rats where I mine that shoot at 45km-50km and its a massive bitch trying to kill them with drones. Do my other miners need drone range equal to the person that the drones are assigned to in order to go max distance?

Keeping a battleship in the anom seems like a waste if theres some way I could use drones to accomplish safety.

surely a battleship will scare away gankers, right?

did you train drone avionics to IV?

>trying to fight the losing fight against gankers.

Just don't get caught and let them waste their time wasting your time.

The guy they are assigned to has drone avionics V and advanced drone avionics II. Do I need matching skills on my alts? They are training it right now, once they can equal his range I hace just fuck up the rats instantly.

>I assume you use the raven for dealing with rats?
rats and players

>Right now I'm using 8 procs with x5 t2 light drones each for a total of 40 drones and I'm assigning them to my squad leader that has pretty good drone skills. He has a target painter in the mid slot but I'm having trouble getting the assigned drones to have the same range as his drones.
your assisted drones will have the control range of the pilot launching them. Train drone avionics.

>Keeping a battleship in the anom seems like a waste if theres some way I could use drones to accomplish safety.
He is a pure subcap pvp pilot. Why keep him docked when I can use him?

you want them all to IV and maybe advanced at 2 or 3, the drone range is what matters when it comes to assigned drones, as long as the leader can lock far enough to paint and the assigned drones have the skills to engage at that range they will attack.

>He is a pure subcap pvp pilot. Why keep him docked when I can use him?
Because you are doing the opposite of what you intend. A Battleship is just going to make people even more eager to find you.

>Because you are doing the opposite of what you intend
on the contrary, I do exactly what I intend to.

Not him but

Most gangs don't have the numbers or firepower to deal with more than 5 procs.

And big gangs are ezpz to spot way before they get close to your system.

I also have drag bubbles from every gate and all the gates bubbled.
I can take my time.

Not to mention my battleship always has a cyno and I can drop a ton of carriers to make anyone fuck off.
Only a very strong WH corp could fuck with me.
But I'm always careful with that.

AHHH!

What do people do in W-space anyway? It just seems like a gigantic ISK bank, but not somewhere you'd live for any appreciable amount of time due to the general lack of people.

o.smium.org/loadout/86804

its one big circle jerk

they jerk each other off when they get their weekly explorer kill in their home system. Wh tends to be dead, so the few kills you are able to get feel good.

>2.7k shields

lmao say hi to my welpcane.

>o.smium.org/loadout/86804
why do you fags link osmium when you can just upload a screenshot of a fucking EFT or Pyfa fit?

they talk about how great wormhole space is, then sometimes they go to normal space for pvp

>pyfa

>eft

can easily fork or export it and change shit around.

>exporting from eft or pyfa is hard

anti spam sometimes gets in the way and its annoying having to spoiler spam every line

...

What?

You take a screen shot you stupidass

Are faction heavy drones good against npc frigates?

no

with omnidirectionals they do fine

mediums

dont fly ur rattle in highsec friend

>dont fly ur rattle in highsec friend
Why not?

>mediums
I want versatile drones (not geckos)

>geckos
>not versatile

Then you can't easily export.
When are you giving up for being so autistic over this little thing?

>no geckos

They are made of gold and platinum.
