Best ship in the game.

They're best to gank, you mean

here's a quick rundown:

ccp bows to the csm
removed regional labels on MER information
burn jita rumored to be happening soon
PL controls the north with an iron fist
PL owns keepstars all over new eden
PL bankrolled the first of these citadels
GSF terraforming delve as their new home
own basically every rorqual in eve
first 30b titans are produced in delve
both coalitions said to have over 20k members
ancient gevlonian scriptures tell of two mega coalitions who will descend upon new eden and bring an era of unprecedented economic growth with them
these are the coalition twins
they own money moons all over the universe
you likely live next to one of their poses right now
every new goon has the mark of mittani in them upon joining
the mega coalitions are in regular communication with ccp following the word of the mittani and gobbinz through the csm
discovered the art of the rorqual
they learned how to use them in a week
excel spreadsheets allows them full access to optimal station trading
low tier alliances entrust their supers with them (in their citadels)
the coalitions are a decade old from the standpoint of a normal player
in reality, they have existed since the game released in 2003 and will last until the end of the game
they have been shown the truth by ccp themselves
the coalitions will guide eve players into a new age of wisdom, peace and love

epic xDDD

fuck off

why are these so easy to kill

Best ship in the game.

Shit overview, senpai

what are some good eve related youtube channels?

xddd

what

All these carrier ratters coming out of the woodwork, was it very effective all this time?

wut?

>TEST in charge of having supers

...

more of these please

because they are not supposed to be dangerous
its the response that arrives when you kill them that is dangerous

>storyline guns

>guns

>missiles

Needs touching up on model a la exequror

How can I turn my 2.6b into more isk

give it to me and I'll double it

okay. what's your in game name?

sent :^)

Hey you guys are alright..

Don't go to Jita tomorrow.

>high sec

I know, just you know It probably isnt a good day to go to jita. That's all..

...

Is this the same burn Jita event that didn't happen the last million times it was mentioned?

I'm starting to think you're just a Dodixie shill.

I've got a 5.0 sec rating that I'd like to squander, what would be the best way to insta pop another suicide nado?

some fag just sent me this

>New player focused groups

>wow look at all these things literally every other null corp offers

>I think we would be a good fit for you

I consider new player "focused" groups and "friendly" groups to be different.

A new player "focused" groups can treat their members like a resource to be farmed. Which I guess is a win-win for a mindless null-cuck.

Both are literally the spec-ed of EVE, fuck off

New player friendly is a good thing. People have to start somewhere.

Fuck off shill

For what? Nearly every corp?

Twoiros

OP you forgot to mention the march changes

>reduced bubble duration and bubble killmails
>heavy interdiction cancer down to 20km scrams
>something about rorquals I can't remember

>kill noob in wh
>rejects my invite to convo

ok

I sent him isk anyway.

Battle rorquals get fucked

>VNI ratting makes money 75% as fast as my rattlesnake did

Why didn't I just go straight to a carrier?

>he doesn't fly hics

Doing havens.

Thanks. My snake fit is pretty similar but even with painters I do less damage to battleships with fury than with normal or precision, you have that problem?

Is it worth training for a minmatar carrier if I already have gal carrier 5

>pve

no, not worth it

I have honestly never tried using faction over fury, I'll give it a go. But I don't think that t2 cruise have any issue applying to angel battleships.

Do you need all supports and tank side skills at V to fly carriers? I can fly an Ishtar all T2 and quite nice now, I'm thinking about going for that home stretch to fat isk

Doesn't a rorq pull isk faster than a carrier?

if you're just ratting you only need the bare minimum because capitals are retardedly powerful. same for ratting in an ishtar too desu

>mining

carrier can warp out whenever it wants.

getting all your support skills to 5 is a good idea anyway
you don't NEED them but it certainly helps to have shield/armor compensation trained to at least 4

it requires a much higher initial investment to do so and requires risky siege mode to be effective

Thanks lads. I'll make a plan in the morning and see what kind of long term jewery ccp is trying to pull with the training time.

carriers are at least a few months due to the nav skills, the racial skills take about a week or so

And they get to write all the haikus they could ever want

What about fighter skills? Do you need level 4?

why would you? do you think your 9999999 dps fagmobile would be unable to break the tank on the rats without all the 5% per level skills maxed?

if you want T2 fighters you need light fighters 4
T2 is a lot better than T1 with drones

every extra second helps when it can take 30+ seconds in between sites, the main slowdown for me is the waiting for the fighters's guns to cycle so they can start shooting something else

if I'm lazy with my fighters I'll only get 30m ticks, but if I'm really micromanaging things I can hit up to 50m

jelly

I just don't know if it's worth it to switch to carrier ratting for me. I've got a char that has min carrier 4 and level 3 fighter skills but the guys with the big ticks probably have near max skills.

ATM im blitzing lvl4s for Isk cos I have standings to burn. I make between 100 and 200 mil per hour, it's just mindnumbing boring and I can't bring myself to do it for hours.

you should be primarily skilling for the things you actually want to do in eve, i.e. not ratting

>tfw skilling for dreads because I want the phoenix space bunker and so I can BTFO capital spawns

tips fedora

epic

why doesn't CCP remove systems so there's less space for everyone?

less space -> value of remaining space increases -> more fights -> more fun

t. wormhole shitter

because it's hard, and because ccp prefers to do nothing instead of doing things

retard

Well my goal is to transition from having a subcap PVP char and a highsec money maker into having subcap main/carrier+fax+dread alt and maybe a super in a year.
To make that happen I'll need a lot of Isk.

What's a brawler like the thorax but with shields instead?

>Skill injectors up to 700m

there aren't really any that are the same. if you meme fit your moa and put blasters on it it's slow as fuck and can't really afford to use a cap booster so it gets memed by neuts and also more trashed by smaller ships because its dronebay is shit and also no tracking bonus

>check out my double range bonuses, they increase my range by 2km

>blasters
>range

im gay haha

yes, this is why it's better at railing people

ccp should lock ships into a certain role so it stops people from making their own fits

>user I won't be reporting it to the CEO just yet but that whole 'shekel' and other antisemitic bullcrap doesn't fly in this corp

Should've joined MLJ

>tfw no comfy furfag corp

Damn so there is little point in getting rattle instead of ishtar or vni? They seem to have so little tank...or is it only for angels? Because i wanted to do in drones, and 30% em resist seems low.
