you either JF things outside of highsec or you use an interdiction nullified ship (with sub 2 second align) for small things, preferably a yacht. You should never ever ever use anything outside of those two things unless you absolutely have to.

Moving ships for yourself is pretty handy though. Just have to be ready for some wastage: https://zkillboard.com/kill/51627466/

How exactly does bleed through work? If you take 50 damage and you have 60 armor left and it bleeds through, do you take all 50 to armor plus bonus damage to structure or does the portion that bleeds through not damage armor?

Syndic Thrass, what ship are you using for the Angel burner - the "cheap" Vengeance (tried that one once and couldn't break the Dramiel's tank - the AC didn't land a single hit so it was basically useless) or the 200m Daredevil?code:code:

Phone posting and very not sober. Formum pm me or jabber me and I'll let you know when I'm at my computer. How would you and all the other mission guys plus the ones I intend to ask in the amazing pee vee everything thread about missions (read it of you haven't) be avout making a jabber channel about this? I'm only running mad burners to farm standings for pull alts and it seems a few others are trying to graduate to l5s (and lots already have) we need a place to shoot poo poo. To answer you don't skimp on that one at all. I gave an even more riced of versionof that DD and it's the only one I consistently go into hull in. Usually, for me, i have tons of pullers who can only do their 1 thing, I'll pull a agent burners on the man who can only do those then just bms to garmur alts for thr teams. Then once the purpose made ship is engaged in warpin load javelin and add another 200 dps to agent missions. From what I read it have a very unorthodox l4 krew but is till make plans solid money's.

So the only thing that ever stops my ratting escapades are Dread spawns. I dont have access to cap ships. What is another ship I could use to tank the dread while I clear all the rats in the wave? I don't need to kill the dread, just survive it while I finish the wave. *Posted this in Eve recipes to no avail*

Ishtar, HML Nighthawk/Tengu, or anything else that is capable of dealing DPS from 90km away while on the move (and ideally, without capacitor). Warp out as soon as the dread spawns, warp back in at 100. The dread's gun and tackle max out at 70km, and the neut at 90-100.

The next thing eve needs is an update to how the overview works. It's impossible to get all the information you need without it taking up half your screen. I'd love an option to have an overview that each ship took up two rows (to give more information)

I'd really rather have the "UI Profiles" thing that a dev teased about so I can quickly swap between "recon" and "fleet" and "industry" and whatever. They all have distinctly different requirements and its annoying to manage manually.

Managing screen real estate is one of my main challenges in Eve so far, since I play on a laptop. 1920×1080 is the only way I've been able to manage so far but I really need to find a good setup for potato mode since my computer starts to get janky with 2 clients running. Profiles will help a bit once I can spare the  . I need different overviews and window settings for shooting stuff and scanning/bumping freighters. Trying to learn the latter now and my big worry isn't so much the act itself as whiffing while trying to manage Jabber, scan tool, ransom chat, and my aggressor character via alt-tab.

There's a difference, though it's small. You could say negligible. A ship model's rate of rotation is capped and it's possible the velocity changes faster than the rotation of the ship model. And I agree with you, I've made quite a few suggestion threads about getting rid of the number soup called overview in favor of a real HUD.

Either you've been undocking in unpropped Battleships or I'm having a stroke and can't understand what you're writing here. There's a big blue arrow. Points which direction your ship is going. Gets longer as you go faster. Different from the one that shows up when you click in space to move.

A ship model's rate of rotation is capped and it's possible the velocity changes faster than the rotation of the ship model. You should probably be aware that Eve does not model rotational inertia, or even rotation of any kind at all, on ships. As far as Eve's physics/gameplay engine is concerned, a ship is a sphere in space with a velocity vector, with all forces (and all guns/launchers) located at the center of the sphere. The ship's orientation is purely a guess/approximation by the rendering engine and has little or no effect on your ability to turn. This is why large ships tend to slide sideways into warp - and why ships are prone to do weird flips/spins when flying directly up or down. (Wheee gimbal lock)

(And more lucrative now that there are ancillary reps and remote reps for capitals.) Ratting in plexes, otoh, is more dangerous -- there are now NPC dreads and titans that occasionally spawn and will gently caress your rear end up.

I just did some exploration in Hakonen and the first data site I found, rats spawned as soon as I opened the first loot box and blew my rear end up, seeing as I'm just in a Heron. Another question. If I joined goons could I still do exploration/missions and stuff, just with goons, or will it make me unable to undock?

I realize I'm griping about something that is pretty hard to make accurate. I'm sure it would require new information to the client, which means more server load, etc. Basically all I will depend on the heading arrow for is a general indication of dot's direction from a distance. Though if it stays blue it is too hard to make out to be useful.

So I'm thinking of selling on one of my characters as I barely ever use them, they've got about 2 months subscription time remaining. Any pointers into what I should prior to trying to sell them off? And what kind of price I could expect? http://eveboard.com/pilot/Mario_Balotelli As you can see from the skill set I've changed my mind so many times with this character I not even sure what to try and market them as, I'm just finishing up training them as a links alt on or off grid and think I should try selling them off as that. Thoughts?

Any pointers into what I should prior to trying to sell them off? And what kind of price I could expect? Before skill injectors I would have suggested cleaning it up as a booster. They used to fetch a premium with full scanning skills to wormholers, but now character sale prices are determined by flat SP. If you want to finish up the booster you have, I suggest Command Ships V, then Gravimetric Sensor Compensation V, Armor Layoring and Armor Compensations to IV, and then Fleet Command V if you can squeeze it in. Use this site to search EVE-O character bazaar to see what similar boosters are going for. http://www.evecharactersearch.com/

This is an okay idea as long as you make sure not to detract from on-grid Command Ship boosting. You could strip the drone SP down to skill levels 1 per, just so it's not insulting to the buyer, and maybe the missile skills. But if you're pulling out SP you could stand to put it back into the Astrometric skills and Armor tank. edit: wait no, putting SP back is a stupid idea. I forgot about the SP loss with injecting.

Thanks for the advice, that skillset is basically 18months off checking off everything on the "stuff goons did" circa 2014. Scimitar for incursions, cyno V stealth bomber for typhoon, Gila/drones for ratting in dek, and tengu off grid links  . I think I'll go the streamlining route.
