You really need to use 3 accounts for it, a single bs doesn't do enough damage before they get out of range (i used apocs personally as you don't need to move at all really). The 3rd account/character is for getting warpins as there are 2 types with different spawn locations. I used to get a couple escalations an hour iirc

The closest I came to alarm clocking was alarm clocking on a weekend at a perfectly normal reasonable hour that I would have slept through anyways because weekends are designed for sleeping in. Like I made sure to get up at 9AM instead of my usual "Wake up whenever" policy for my days off. Setting an alarm for 3am on a work night just sounds retarded.

No remote shield boosts, so we just have to be able to tank all dps with our own tank right? I see on the spreadsheet some are putting out 2k dps on a wave. What kinda hp/s am i shooting for to survive them? I know ideally 2k, but I dont know if that's feasible. Should we be cap stable on our own or rely on transfers? Thanks.

This is the rattlesnake fit I use for duo-farming C5s: [Rattlesnake, C5 tinker - expensive] Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II IFFA Compact Damage Control Dread Guristas Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer Dread Guristas Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancer Large Micro Jump Drive Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field Pith X-Type X-Large Shield Booster Shield Boost Amplifier II Shield Boost Amplifier II Republic Fleet Target Painter Large 'Regard' Remote Capacitor Transmitter Large 'Regard' Remote Capacitor Transmitter Large 'Regard' Remote Capacitor Transmitter Large 'Regard' Remote Capacitor Transmitter Large 'Regard' Remote Capacitor Transmitter Drone Link Augmentor II Large Egress Port Maximizer II Large Egress Port Maximizer I Large Core Defense Operational Solidifier I Gecko x1 Curator II x2 It's pretty easy/semi-AFKable. One of the rattlesnakes runs a painter as above, the other runs a remote sensor booster with the scan res script. They transfer cap between themselves, which allows them to permarun their local tanks and shrug off all the neuting a C5 site can put out. You assign the sensor booster rattle's gecko to the painter rattle and can then ignore the sensor booster one for the duration of the site; you just use the painter to tell its drone what to kill next. Because of the cap transfers and painter, the sleepers ignore your geckos. Before you start running sites, you need to crit all the incoming holes other than the one to your home system; if a new sig spawns, just activate your MJDs and peace out. It's pretty easy, and makes ~500m/hr, but it's kind of a ballache because you have to do a fair bit of prep before you can start running - you have to roll your static until you connect to a C5 with a decent number of sites and a not-terrible effect, then run a pair of rolling BS through and crit all the incoming holes.

berserkers are a pretty good substitution for geckos. they don't do as much damage but they are in the same ballpark of tracking and speed. faction berserkers are like 3m each so its definitely a good cheap option

Augmented and faction drones are pretty nice. They don't ever seem to be a mandatory upgrade, but they are often a nice little upgrade for the price.

I've got wormhole questions. The foreboding nature of wormhole space and the risk-reward factor of inhabiting one makes them a very enticing prospect for me. Might even start a Corp to inhabit one. What I don't know all too well is how they've been affected by the citadels. Are POSes still popular over citadels in wormhole space or are POSes only built as temporary stays until the Citadel is anchored? Is it really all that profitable, and what aspect of it is most profitable?

I have all t2 drone skills and all racials at 3, except amarr at 4. In general for pvp, is it better to use the amarr for the 2% bonus? Or berserkers for reasons?

On a different note, I sort of dig this new EVE song they just put out. https://soundcloud.com/ccpgames/eve-online-yc1187-theme-detached-from-time I like all the ambient music and really am fine with the fact CCP shut down the jukebox but gave us Soundcloud since apparently EVE's audio stuff will give you a memory leak still.

Maybe just jack up the volume and just accept that the one guy is gonna be more obnoxiously loud? The little I did understand before I gave up seemed like neat content - I've done AT practice and one NEO, and a middle range between 12 and 8 is a cool concept. Beyond that, interested in this season.

Yeah it's pretty lame. I can only do so much but most of it is on the streamer's onus to get their poo poo sorted. AT14 will be interesting given that they've made some changes such as Blood Raider ships not costing as much points as other faction ships, and the whole kerfuffle with the schedule. I know we'll be doing EVE NT Championship pretty much right after the AT ends because originally that was the plan until the schedule hosed a lot of things up. Though unlike the AT it's 5v5 (iirc) and not about people coming up with ship fits and breaking the meta since we'll be using pre-designated fits making it more akin to Overwatch or Dota or whatever where you know what does what and what their strengths and weaknesses are with regards to the fits. Then after that we're looking at doing smaller scale stuff like a 1v1 invitational just to fill the off season with more content and easier to manage tournaments that don't take months to run (the whole invitational shouldn't be longer than just 2 days) but that's up in the air right now.

Drones in this game are like the summoner class in other games. Yes your Demonology Warlock CAN pvp....but probably should not. In any case, FranktheBank posted:I have all t2 drone skills and all racials at 3, except amarr at 4. Solo drone boats can be lots of fun, even though as stated they are not really in style ATM. However, for solo stuff drones are pretty bad unless you have the relevant skills to 5. I use gal drones personally most of the time as my standard drones. But that is just me. My main solo ship ATM is a vigilant. I use the drones strictly to supplement damage, most times I don't need them.

I tend to fly things that can use drones as supplemental damage, just to put all those perfect skills to use. i'll probably just stick with amarr, since there doesnt seem to be a consensus for pvp. I should give stratios a shot...

Lost my rattle in a stupid 8/10. Was MWD'ing to grab the loot from the boss. Ended up dropping too low on cap to MJD out of their webs + disrupts. It was great. Luckily I kept a spare. Never 8/10.
