>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.

Alright quick and dirty
I never really played eve, but i often subbed and flew around, skilled all kinds of random stupid shit.
I am going to play the game serious with a new character and probably using skill injectors to skip a few weeks of zzz. Are there any...guides out there that show what ships for medium/smallscale PvP are the best and all the skills needed for it? Something BELOW 3-4M SP that would be useful in one of the newshitter corps
>I use amarr combat drones
>>137641719
if you have access to any account that has trained for more than 21 days, it's more worth resubbing it than rolling a new trial
>>137641856
they're effective at ripping through EM holes
>>137641962
i do have access to that. My old character has 10m SP, but looks like shit, is named like shit and has the skills literally all over the fucking place lots of them useless for what i want to do
>>137642174
get a trial invite by people posting a thowaway email, I will give you 500 mil
>>137642174
>10m sp
cheaper to buy extractors to suck out your skills and redistribute them to your preference rather than buy injectors to fill up a new character to an equivalent amount.
>looks like shit
resculpting works wonders
>named like shit
well.......
>>137642174
this is >>137642502 again with another thought
it's more worth your money to resub that account and suck out all the SP, and then create a new character that looks nice and is named nice and inject the SP into it.
>named like shit
pretend you did it ironically, like every time you say something dumb on /eog/

>>137642663
>it's more worth your money to resub that account and suck out all the SP, and then create a new character that looks nice and is named nice and inject the SP into it.
that is exactly my plan. I wanted to get as much SP out of that shitty character and pump it all into the new one, but i have no idea about skill plans and what shit i actually need.
Actually i probably need to research what kind of "roles" certain ships in fleets have to determine what i want to fly...

Probably Logi/Ewar then
What "roles" do Battlecruisers/cruisers and Destroyers have in fleets?
Also are frigates represented at all in fleets?
>>137643683
the role of combat ships is usually to shoot people
destroyers and battlecruisers are strange in-between classes. frigates/cruisers/battleships are the normal classes. they shoot things. they are good at shooting things their own size, don't do enough damage to kill bigger things effectively, and have some difficulty hitting smaller things
>>137643683
Roles aren't tied to ship size, there are tackle frigs, but there is also cruisers that can tackle for example. A destroyer or battlecruiser are ship sizes. In this case destroyers and battlecruisers tech 1 versions are mostly dps boats that are able to deal a lot of hurt for their size.
>>137643683
Usually fleets are central to one theme, meaning your composition is usually made of one ship with support for it
For example, currently SMA likes to use Hurricanes as their fleet doctrine, a Hurricane is a battlecruiser and the way they fit it is with high alpha artillery that fires slow but has huge damage in one hit.
>>137643683
t2/t3 cruisers are the hallmark of higher sp subcap null and wh fleets.
battlecruisers provide heavy hitting in small gang and can be a fun solo platform.
destroyers are the common low sp small gang dps - they have much more firepower than frigates and together they can kill remarkable things, but they have similar amounts of tank.
some frigates are usually essential in most fleets. they warp fast and fly fast and so they allow you to gain tackle before your target has seen that shit has hit the fan and tries to leave.
a medium sp gangs of deacon/thalia frig armor logi and confessors for dps hits really hard.

Alright thanks so far. How different are the races ships? I learned a few years ago that minmatar are best for solo pvp, gallente are good with rockets n shit.
How is that today? Are certain races "better" than the other?
>mining
>>137644410
all that information you have is wrong
just pick the race you like the most when you start the game, it gives you some fluff about them. I like to post pictures of dogs and pretend the dog's face represents my opinion of amarr ships, but honestly all 4 races have a mix of good and bad stuff. plus you can fly whatever you like, the race your character is, all races, whatever you want
>>137644410
No, all races have excellent ships that you should train for, restricting yourself to one race is boring and severely limiting as a pilot. Training all racial cruisers + weapon systems to 3 should be less than a week if you don't mess around with your skillque, you might want to go and get some advanced ship for some race depending on what you do, but don't be a race purist, despite the eog memes.
>>137644662
he knows that, he was asking specifically about each races' *ships*
>>137644410
>How different are the races ships?
Very different
Amarr:
Lasers mostly, Missiles and Drones secondary
Armor tank, they get an armor resist bonus
Their EWAR is Tracking Disruptors and Energy Neutralizers
Gallente:
Blasters and Drones
Armor tank, they usually get an Armor repairer bonus
Their EWAR is Sensor Dampeners and Warp Disruption range
Caldari:
Blasters and Missiles
Shield tanks, they get a shield resist bonus
Their EWAR is ECM
Minmatar
Autocannons and Missiles
Shield tanks or armor tanks, they're very versatile, shield repairer bonuses but some of them are better armor tanks.
>>137644882
oh yea and Minmatar EWAR is Target Painters and Webifier range
>>137644408
Find the killmails and search for the most expensive ones.
>>137644882
>Caldari
>Blasters
>Amarr
>not Guidance Disruptors
>Minmatar
>not Artillery
>>137644882
So if i wanted to play as a "logi", i should start with Gallente?
>>137645096
Who fucking cares, they're all weapons of the given race
>>137645116
Logi doesn't work solo.
and for fleets you are expected to have logi V and every cruiser to V.
same goes for frigate logi, every fleet uses different logi depending on their composition and how they do their doctrines, you would have to ask your corp.
>>137645116
No, start with whatever you think looks cool, the pilot you start out has 10 days of training total and 80% of the skills are shared between the different character races. Playing logi exclusively is kinda boring and requires some amount of sp, I recommend you join some corp in a space you think sounds cool and try to have fun with the game while waiting for the next skill to complete.
>>137645313
>and for fleets you are expected to have logi V and every cruiser to V.
This isn't true, if you're flying T2 logistics ships you don't need every cruiser to V just the ones your alliance uses. further more, T1 logi works fine with level 4 skill
>>137644882
don't forget
minmatar are fastest
gallente are fast-ish
amarr are slow-ish
caldari are slowest
minmatar, gallente, amarr mostly use turret weapons that have one set of support skills that works for all of them
caldari mostly use launcher weapons that have a completely different set of support skills
minmatar has the most damage selection freedom
caldari often has damage selection but also is often kinetic locked
amarr is locked to em/therm
gallente is locked kin/therm
there are massive numbers of exceptions to all the above generalizations, as people like >>137645096 will point out
>missile minmatar and amarr ships
>hybrid caldari ships
etc
>>137645313
it doesn't. the cruiser logi skill is fucked up. the frigate logi skill does not, it's just regular increase from level 4-5
and for T1 logi only a mega autist would get all fucked up about the skill being more important than the skills for combat ships, because it's not
>>137645520
>minmatar are fastest
>gallente are fast-ish
>amarr are slow-ish
>caldari are slowest
This is highly dependant because the Omen Navy Issue is one of the fastest cruisers in the game while other ships from other "fast races" are actually pretty slow, like Stabber Fleet Issue is slower than a regular stabber.
Why are you all frontloading information about generalized shit that isn't true and doesn't matter when starting out in the game?
>>137645787
because anon has a 10m sp pilot
>>137645787
>generalized shit that isn't true
So Gallente using Hybrids and drones isn't true?
>>137645675
the omen navy issue is not faster than other race's equivalents m8 you just never see them because they aren't as memeworthy for tryharding
slicer is also not fast
>>137645460
>just the ones your alliance uses. further more
thing is alliances change doctrines and they usually have more than one doctrine, some even have uses for all 4 logi ships in separate doctrines, like scimitars for fast moving cruisers, basilisks for AB shield cruisers, guardians for brawling HACs and BS and the gallente one for memes
>T1 logi works fine with level 4 skill
I assumed he meant real logi, you can get cruiser to IV in a day or some shit, theres no need to ask about that
Sion admits defeat.
Good guys have won.
>>137641398
could have spared a lot of time by simply typing "mfw bottomfeeding" instead
>>137645816
Yeah, and he is going to waste that 5 mil SP regardless of what you say because he is new to the game, will make dumb mistakes, will want to fly cool shit and train for it, regardless if its good or not.
>>137645313
I do not plan to play Solo for quite some time, that made me quit. I play to get into a corp as quick as possible. If i plan to play solo, im gonna go at some frig pvp.
So to sum it up:
>Races dont matter for Logi ships, just be able to fly them "all" (Like Oneiros, Basilisk, Guardian, Scimitar?)
>Skill all required stuff for flying ships, their fitting and logistic drones
>Take a bunch of skill extractors, suck my old "main" dry and inject as much as possible into the new one
newfag here, interested in buying this game, is mining fun? thats what I want to do, just mine and make butt loads of cash
>>137646014
>le richfag here guys it's important that you all know how wealthy I am
>>137646147
Mining makes no cash and is you pressing a button and going afk for 20 minutes. Join PH or something and shoot at people while getting free ships
>>137645858
>equivalents
the ONI is faster than the ENI
the ONI is faster than the Stabber FI
those are two ships from supposedly "fast races" where an amarr ship is faster
A Regular Omen is faster than the Thorax
these aren't good generalizations when there are all these exceptions
Is it safe to take a Tayra through a few 0.5 systems?
>>137646475
yea why wouldn't it be
its not so much what ship you're flying as how much stuff you have in your cargo
how much isk is it all worth
whats your project discovery at?
What race should I go with if I want to be a drone specialist?
>>137646316
yeah but not scythe fleet issue, and that's the fast one
pretty sure a thorax is faster than an omen btw
yeah ccp sometimes mix it up and make an amarr or caldari ship fast or a gallente ship slow (drones in particular, why fix drone kiting when you can just ruin drone ships lol)
they also sometimes mix up the sensors and don't follow the pattern of longer lock range and better sensor strength, worse scan res, but nobody cares about that
>>137646725
gallente, but don't be a specialist
>>137646581
about 700mil
>>137646904
Do you know what the MWD/Cloak trick is?
You might get ganked over that, its a lot of shit
As a new player, what's a good long term goal to have? Is there a certain kind of ship I should look to be able to pilot, or should I train to pilot as many ships as possible?
>>137647029
the later, the more ships you can fly the more fun you can have
>>137647029
fun
I find it's the most fun to not have long term goals
>>137646775
A thorax does 300, an omen does 325
There are too many exceptions to the "who is fast who is slow" rule for it to be a valid rule
>>137646147
75% of people who play this game are retarded high sec miners. Supply greatly outweighs demand, so unless you're running 10+ account mining fleets for top notch efficiency you aren't going to make jack shit.
>>137647029
I'd say it depends, if you want to fly a bunch of ships go for it. I actually preferred flying frigates over other stuff when I was new since I trained really good frigate skills early
>>137646673
There is a level 200+ who browses /dog/ also.
>>137647120
>>137647130
So go complete generalist compared to trying to work towards a bigger kind of ship?
>>137647301
Big stuff is expensive, harder to train for, easier to lose and harder to fly. Really play the game with some corp and you will find out for yourself
>>137647163
nobody cares about base speed m8, mwd speed. they're about the same with mwd on, thorax slightly faster and has better agility
and I think you're wrong, they are how ccp makes things. they make some ships exceptions to stop them being garbage. the rule applies unless there's a good reason or unless ccp are being bads. it's usually accurate
There should be something in the thread to all the newbros swarming that they should start the game with a trial invite
>>137647517
>thorax slightly faster and has better agility
>better agility with a MWD on
for speed its 10m/s completely insignificant, thats less than 1%
>omen: 5.65s
>thorax: 7.46s
the omen is 25% more agile than the thorax.
>>137647690fuck you're right, I didn't even check. gallente usually have the absolute best agility, I didn't know ccp fucked it up here as well. I guess the omen got some slight mobility love because it's dogshit
>>137647842
Which is why I don't follow the "amarr is slow, gallente is fast" trend because there are so many exceptions to the rule.
>>137647929
there aren't that many m8
Good first race to focus on, or should I focus on all of them?
>>137648569
I'd pick one of any of them and focus on it specifically, don't jump around often or you won't be good at any of them
>>137648569
gallente are the good guys
newfag here does it matter which race you start as for which alliance your join? since your start in different spots depending on your race, some closer to certain alliances territory and some farther away
>>137648837
Not really
Your alliance will have specific doctrine of ships they'd like you to be able to fly
>>137648719
that's dumb. training race A frigate and race A cruiser doesn't make you better at race A frigate than if you trained race A B and C frigate
just because bigger ships have prerequisites doesn't mean there's some kind of path you have to follow
>>137648837
no, it takes like 5 minutes to travel between them
>>137648948
>that's dumb. training race A frigate and race A cruiser doesn't make you better at race A frigate than if you trained race A B and C frigate
I mean focus on one line of ship
because if you train for Gallente battleships but then want to train for Minmatar battleships, you have to train all the minmatar stuff, the gun skills all of that and you're not mastered in any of it
you can kinda fly gallente ok and minmatar ok but you're not especially strong at either
Is going for piloting an Ishtar a good intermediate goal to have something to look forward to?
>>137648569
Race does not matter. Occupation does.
Decide what you want to do and skill into that field, hopping between races while with skills in the field is easy.
For instance, if you are an incursion runner most of your skillpoints are located in gunnery and drones. Jumping between diffirent ships is not a problem usually. However, if you decide to do let's say stealthbombing, suddenly you are facing a new set of prioroties and you can throw your drones&guns out of the window in favour of missiles.
Whats with all the newbs lately? Fuck off finally.
>>137649226
I think more important than this is to train a lot of core support skills rather than training every frigate/destroyer/cruiser/battlecruiser/battleship to 4 and having powergrid level 1 or whatever
>>137649336
no, flying fun things all the time is better than doing boring things for some kind of payoff in the future. don't set that gallente cruiser 5 training unless you have something decent to do for its duration. ishtars are pretty good I guess, but for pvp I'll take 10 thoraxes instead or a couple of vexor navy issues. ishtar is probably still a ubiquitous pve ship, so if that's something you're interested in I guess. vexor navy does it good too
>>137649620
newfag here I got interested in the game when I learned about the war last week
>>137649620
It's world war bee
All the noobs want to get in on it
They'll quit inside 3 months when they realize just how boring the f1 to win 'gameplay' really is.
And also the fact there's nothing legitimately fun to do outside PVP, and PVP is barely even fun to begin with.
It's been over a decade and CCP still doesn't know how to make their game actually fun. It's amazing.
>>137649336
Not the Ishtar, it is a niche ship. Don't even think in ships, think what you want to do and then look what ship you need for it.
But if you REALLY want to be one of those people who need a ship as a goal, take a T3 cruiser. That would be Legion, Tengu, Proteus or Loki. T3 cruisers are probably the most versatile platform in the game, there is no way you will regret being able to pilot one as long as you plan on leaving the station. If there is such thing as bread&butter ships then strategic cruisers are pure, fresh, soft, delicious butter.
>>137650036
They're a failure of gameplay design.
They're only good because they landed on the overpowered side of "adaptability". Lucky for the t3 cruisers, because the opposite side means they'd be worthless.
I still won't consider flying them just because of the bullshit skill point loss on death. What a retarded fucking 'balance' mechanic. Worse than trying to balance shit based on isk.
>>137650036
this is the most whfaggot post I've read
only wormhole babies, farmers and f1 monkeys actually use T3 cruisers. it's bread and butter for you because you're a gaylord
>>137650398
I think foozie said he'd like to fix them after capital ships, but it's probably not going to happen. really fixing them though would require a complete redesign, seems so unlikely

I don't actually die to T3Cs m8. they're about as cancerous as orthruses and gilas, but they're more the retarded brick tank flavour of cancer, rather than 800 dps at 60km with 60km disruptor. they're not the usual shitter response to a soloer showing up, they start to appear when you have a little gang, or when you're doing fleet stuff
>>137650536
They'll probably be redesigned into something more like the T3D's. I'd wager they go without the multi-module fitting just because it makes the ships butt-fucking-ugly from an aesthetics standpoint.
But they might do something like having the modules change what sort of module switching capabilities the ship has, sort of like an upgraded version of the t3destroyers.

Are command ships basically pointless?
>>137651848
I don't have the stats on hand, but IIRC c3's are the most dangerous wormhole to be in due to the population of other players, while c1's and c5's are the safest.
>>137651747
it's such a huge redesign to make them good, and there'd be all the wormhole idiots crying about change etc. I just can't see it happening, even though it would be a really good thing if it did.
I think if they did mode switching, they could have some subsystems as well maybe. I don't think the two are incompatible, but I think they should definitely have mode switching in there
>>137652918
basically yes. they kind of have some uses, but don't train for them, you don't need them
>>137652309
They seem like they're all out of my price range.
>>137652154
>to get skill books
no, you want to join a corp to get m8s so you have things to do. getting free skillbooks from rich people might seem important to you I guess if you're broke, but I'm pretty sure in a week you'll look back and wonder what you were thinking

Fuck and I felt unsafe just carting 51mil yesterday

>>137661170
Do all your basic skills first, all to level 5.
It's a huge pain in the fucking ass, and the skill mechanic is goddamn retarded, but you'll be fucking thankful you trained all the fitting skills to 5 if you're still playing the game 5 months from now.
Easiest thing to do is get as much to level 3 as you can, and then specialize in the specific areas you want to start with; e.g. skip getting shield skills to 4 when you want to fly armor boats.
EWAR stuff is probably one of the easiest/fastest things to skill into and is simultaneously extremely effective in PVP when working with a group (which you should be).
Personally, I focused into skirmishing with the navy slicer at first, and then into interceptors for fast tackling later on. Now I'm mostly doing stuff with command destroyers and t3 destroyers. I'm avoiding the bigger ships because they're honestly not fun to fly and the losses hurt the pockets a lot more.
Also, get out of tech 1 asap unless you can't afford better or need to practice. Tech 1 is literally cannonfodder tier.
>>137663708
Shit dude, I've literally moved 10bn worth of skill injectors between amarr and jita; arbitrage fuck ye
You're fucked if you get caught doing that kind of shit though. I usually use something like a tanked out dramiel or astero. Sub 3 second warp time and 20-25k ehp. Almost impossible to kill in highsec unless you fuck up with undocks.
A safer form of arbitrage is just getting some other schmuck to ship for you. Consider the transportation fee to be your insurance cost in case of a loss of shipment. You add an additional 3-5% overhead so it cuts on profits quite a bit depending on margin, but you also never run into a situation where you lose 10bn cargo that might represent 4+ months worth of work.

I'm training for better things but didn't start til a week or so ago.
>>137667462
consider reading the pastebin for a complete explanation of trial referrals.
you can definitely play as a trader and have a satisfying experience. and regardless of what people say, you can literally start with the cash you get from the career agents. you do NOT need 500m or a 1b or 2b to get started.
do your reading. trading is the best money in the game if you have the head for it.
>>137667657
I've capped a couple accounts in WoW over the past couple years, got bored of the atmosphere, game, and people in general though. Looking for a new market to explore and meet some new people.
>>137667781
Get a trial then, pay for the game, get 500 mil from your recruiter and start making isk, just know there are no addons to easily update shit, spreadsheets only
>>137667559
>I just wish Ninja huffing wasn't so boring.
Exactly my thoughts. The only time I lost a ship during ninja huffing was when I got bored, alt-tabbed and forgot about it. It's cool system and nice money (considering you can make a free ninja huffing alt), but after couple times it becomes extremely boring.
>>137667939
What does that 500mil refer too? Does the recruiter just get 1bil out of the blue?
>>137668073
pretty much, you pay for the game and the recruiter get 1 plex, worth 1.06 billion isk atm
>>137667462
I've gone from rags to 50bn in riches over a few months trading.
Here's the tl;dr
1. get lucky
2. you'll make most of your isk with good predictions/speculation on patch releases
3. Don't do 0.01isk bullshit, it'll burn you out and you're competing with actual bots (and they never get banned/controlled so don't even bother trying to report them)
4. It starts out slow, then ramps up fast once you've got a few billion to your name, and then goes back to being slow because wtf can you invest 50bn fucking isk into?
5. don't buy into the plex investment meme, there's a lot of traders right now who think it's gonna go down after fanfest and I suspect some insider info is getting around quietly
6. get some trader friends/acquaintances to idly chat with, they'll tip you off about market manipulations
7. get your taxes and fees as low as possible asap it will save you billions in the long run
More aborted CFC supers.

I just wish I had trained for it so fast thinking I was making a good decision. I only have one character.
>>137668713
>you're competing with actual bots
it was all me :^)
>>137668191
not him but fuck me, I didnt knew that
I subscribed 2 weeks ago with the 3 months offer ( around € 8 per month )
I'll gladly give my email if someone wants to make an account, I guess I cant be 'invited' anymore since I subscribed right ?
[02:05:22] Marilith Bael > Sorry bros not gonna fight 800 vs 250 safe trip home :) Enjoy the babby super kills
>>137668934
I meant to say that I hadn't trained for it.
>>137668993
I have no idea why there isn't a big fat sign in the thread saying you should always use a trial, like I keep pushing it whenever I can but most people that sub don't seem to have gotten a trial invite
>>137669253
I don't understand why it isn't there either. Seems dumb. I got on through a trial but the nerd who gave it to me never split the plex with me. When I quit awhile back for a little while I lost their email.
>>137669247
It's not that bad, honestly. When I train alts it only takes me 2 weeks to train all that stuff (the biggest one is Gas Harvesting V). Even though you don't need it anymore, you can still use it any time and get hundreds of millions with 25 mil ship.
>>137669591
if you upgraded your account with a plex there was nothing to split
>>137669253
also what the fuck is going on with the sub prices
I actually paid €30 for 3 months 2 weeks ago, so €10/month, not 8, I just checked right now the prices again and its now €38.85 for 3 months.
>>137669631
Pretty much what I'm doing in the meantime waiting for some more normal and universally applied skills.
>>137669883
I didn't upgrade with a plex. I upgraded with a payment a day before the trial was up. Tried to get in contact with them both beforehand and after upgrading. Never heard a thing.
>minding your own business, supers are pinged but then nothing happens
>>137670162
Sounds like a fucking faggot, too bad you lost the mail so we don't know who the faggot is
>>137669971
New players get to pay lower subscription prices
people who already have a sub pay higher prices.

It's the first section in the pastebin

It's been there since before I started coming to this general in around 2013
Can't make it any clearer without moving it into the op proper, and the op proper is limited and should be reserved for things that change over time.
Not to mention i think it's a bad idea to just say "get a trial invite" in a separate place from the complete explanation of why it's a good idea for everyone involved and instructions on how to minimize the chances of getting fleeced.
>>137672228
What were you hauling?

>>137641154
I don't see why any of their allies still stick with them. They haven't done anything to defend their sov, and they just let MBC kill two scaa to ight completely uncontested.
I went for the exploration agent missions to start with, first mission was easy, then I have this assignement, where I needed to buy core probe launcher as well as some scanner probes ( figured it out myself ), now I'm finding out that to complete the mission I'll also need hacking 1, which requires electronics upgrades 3, which takes several hours.
so, two questions :
I bought the skillbooks from the market to be able to train those 2 skills, was it the right move ? The mission didnt tell me anything about it, so I supposed I had figure it out myself & buy them, they were cheap so its ok.
Can I do anything else meanwhile ? I'm currently orbiting the container while alt tabbed.
I think I'm safe, I only ever found 1 freighter in this system, and I'm still too newb to figure out if it was actually a player or npc.
>>137677934
you're safe in highsec unless you steal from people (that green dot above your capacitor means your safety is on full, which means it's impossible for you to steal) or unless you're carrying something really expensive (as in worth hundreds of millions)
don't really know what to tell you to do though, maybe try one of the other agents
>>137677934
I dont think you can do much, maybe you can go pick other missions on other stations, maybe combat missions?
>>137677934
you could do project discovery
with a little elbow grease you could make yourself 10m or so in the next hour from the ISK payouts alone.
>>137677934
>several hours to train hacking
waaaaaaaait
don't the new, 400k sp accounts start with hacking and archeology I already trained? have you reactivated an account you created months ago but hardly played at all? if so, biomass it and make a new one; old accounts started with 50k sp.
Is the PVP in this game anything more than choosing an anchor, switching from primary to primary while the Logi reps you?
Is this everything those fleets do? Attack a single guy then switch to the next one while the enemy does the same?
https://zkillboard.com/br/73911/
>tfw i have to up my fiber intake to continue shitting on retards in wh's
>>137678836
in massive pvp battles, yes.
small gang/solo is where its @ m8
>>137678836
is the only thing you do in chess placing your piece on top of an opponent's piece in order to remove it?
>>137679073
Define massive? The other day it was 3k+ players, thats massive.
Does it still happen in battles between hundreds of players?
I mean... it just seems stupid to me to imagine two blobs targeting a single ship and moving up from that until theres no other ships to target.
>>137678836
for the lowest members of the fleets, yes. how do you think the fight started in the first place though? 2 fleets don't just agree to have a fight then fly into each other, there's a load of positioning, escalation, scouting, posturing I guess, outmaneuvering, and baiting and shit that can go on. you do this when you're FCing fleets, soloing or small ganging
I'm not going to search for small gang/solo meme videos for you, but they exist and have participants actually doing things
>>137679101
Then explain me, how do these fleet battles work.
Do you have different groups targeting different ships?
>>137679230
>stupid
it's boring sure, but I hope you aren't implying it's ineffective
typically when you get into ultra mega blobs your fleet consists of multiple 'fleets', as in the in-game fleet mechanic, because they can only have up to 250 people each, so usually each fleet will be going through different targets
>>137679347
you can. some people do, some people don't. this is a big game, it depends on a lot of shit
>>137679347
sometimes, yes. you have dps ships applying to the primary; you have light tackle to start the engagement and heavy tackle to prolong the fight or interdictors to bubble. you have logi keeping track of each other and damage broadcasts. you have ewar and neuting ships trying to break the opponents logi chain. you have bomber wings lining up bombing runs separate from the main fleet. you have covops / interceptors to provide tactical warpins. you have memeships like slippery petes or windrunners applying heavy alpha and warping to a tac or a warpin ship before they can be locked.
but essentially, as in chess, the strategy is the job of the fleet commander(s). he is the chess player and the pieces do what he tells them without asking questions. The more pieces there are, the less good at their jobs the pieces have to be for the fleet to remain effective, so you get this idea of the big fleets needing no thought to participate in. the smaller the gang the more like an FC and the less like a chess piece you have to think - everyone has to pull more weight.
>>137679883
>slippery petes
>windrunners
do you really think he knows your retarded meme fleet names that you shouldn't even be using due to them being cancer
>>137679980
no more than he will know the terms heavy tackle or dictor or tactical. googling will explain to him what petes or windrunners are just as well as it will explain what a tactical is.
also what's wrong with having a shorthand to describe not only a particular hull, but a particular fit for a particular hull (especially given the huge numbers of different kinds of fits that can be used with various hulls)?
>>137678412
just tried that
ugh, I hated biology before, thats just not for me
>>137678353
I thought about that, but then realized I'll need small training for combat ships I think ? even if its level 1 which takes 25 minutes, it will only slow down what I'm doing right now...
>>137678592
I have 143k SP right now.
>have you reactivated an account you created months ago but hardly played at all
yes
>biomass it
wat
>make a new one
I subscribed for 3 months on this one, I have several small ships that came with the 3 months offer, as well as the Imiscus I'm using right now because some random gave me 2 mil to buy one after I asked some questions about explo in local
I understand my character is still very new but it feels bad to start over again
>>137680183
because it's always easier to just describe the fit with a word or two unless it's slippery petes, then people don't have to remember your hilarious foxcats or yachts or whatever the fuck

>>137686080
>Skill Extractor
What is this meme? People extract the skill points from their chars but why? they are losing training, or do they do this with alts only?
>>137686306
Some people unironically trained mining or other skills they never use on their main when they were new. It's nice to be able to extract those and inject them into something useful, even if you lose some SP in the process.
And yes, you can completely extract alts you no longer need, then either inject your main or sell the injectors on the market
>>137686990
But what are those people going to do when mining makes a comeback?
>>137686080
Might be one of those spastics who don't realise that plex and injectors can be activated remotely, and was ferrying the plex to his main in wh space. Him being a spastic also explains why he chose to do this in a coercer.
