ChickenWing posted:New sovblog http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/summer-2015-nullsec-and-sov-status-report/ I think those changes are big improvements. Raising the cap and making the cap easier to reach makes sense. Alliance capitals is a nice touch for the staging systems. My favorite part is the change to the vulnerability window, though. Having that extend out for the little used systems will make this much more enjoyable in the days following the July 7th release, whipping around the northeast entosising the hell out of all that empty space, RFing stations every 5-10 minutes.

DisgracelandUSA posted:I'm glad there's another single person in this game embracing the beauty of polarization. Let me tell you about the divine gift from the ganking gods known as the pBrutix. At 90% of the dps of a talos for 75% the cost, as well as enough buffer to tank gate guns until CONCORD shows up, they're pSweet. Stealth bomber with polarized torpedo launchers is another great use of polarized weapons. Just took a look at this. [polarized, Nemesis] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Faint Warp Disruptor I Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron Phased Weapon Navigation Array Generation Extron Limited 1MN Afterburner I Covert Ops Cloaking Device II Polarized Torpedo Launcher, Inferno Rage Torpedo Polarized Torpedo Launcher, Inferno Rage Torpedo Polarized Torpedo Launcher, Inferno Rage Torpedo Small Bay Loading Accelerator I Small Warhead Calefaction Catalyst I Requires some CPU help to fit both the damage rigs. With the snapshot and rapid launch implants, this gets 968 DPS with a 5,713 volley. Travels 791m/s and has a sig of 42 with 1,939 EHP. Compare that to the same fit, but with meta launchers (528dps, 4,462 volley) with 2,533 EHP. Not much of a sacrifice in terms of EHP for the huge increase in damage.

DisgracelandUSA posted:I think that's a fantastic fitting, but it's a little disingenuous to compare it to a meta fitting instead of a T2 considering polarized weapons function as T2s with respect to ammo and require the T2 skills to use the T2 ammo (right?). Nonetheless, if I was gonna go poo poo on people in a bomber, I'd use that, even though a sneeze from the pilot or an enemy would blow it up. Also, too bad we never utilized that fitting for bombless bomber fleets. Fair point! T2 launchers with t2 Torps gets you to 733dps with 5,405 volley. And you might be right, with polarized launchers, should probably go with a rigor catalyst rig there. Although, arguing with myself, the rigor plus double TPer might be overkill, depending on your target.

Klyith posted:Polarized torps on a stealth bomber are good. That's the reason that a polarized torp launcher is still 35-40 million each, which takes it right back to bad idea. Fit a faction point on there too while you're at it -- you too can be one of wingspan's dorks flying around in 500m bombers! Play exciting music on your youtube video to imply that ganking a barge is interesting! I get what you're saying, but while it's more expensive, it's not 500m. The t2 fit is 35m, the polarized is 106m. So, an extra 70m for an extra 25% dps. I'm not suggesting it's the only fit there is, but I'm surprised you can blanket say it's a bad idea.

Klyith posted:I said to add a faction point too, so 300m. Ah, never bought a faction point, had no idea they ran that high. Great point on willingness to try a fight. This is definitely aimed at killing things fast before a response can be mounted. Grabbing a guy in a wh before his friends can fleet up and warp to him, that sort of thing. Now, how often do you need the extra dps for that? Not sure. But the flip side of habving it might encourage you to try a fight, especially one you can bug out of, just for the chance. Could also conceivably be used to speed structure bashes if you're into that sort of thing.

orange juche posted:Your best chance outside of New Orleans is NYC, surprisingly enough. I don't know where you'll find it, but if it exists, it will be there. Of the metropolitan areas, I've found that seafood goes New Orleans, San Francisco, Boston, NYC, based on my experience. NYC has a huge variety, of course, but quality is better else where. And good BBQ in NYC is like good Mexican food in Scotland. I think you are limited to looking for the best, not necessarily good.

Glory of Arioch posted:gently caress your meat chat, have some eve chat It's hard to tell if the table at the bottom is correct or the text. According to the text, neuts won't be available for mediums, but they are listed in the table. Here's hoping that the table is correct, since my assumption is that medium citadels are supposed to be the replacement for POSes. Sounds very interesting. Will be nice to know what the limitations are going to be for deploying the larger structures. I'm looking forward to seeing the first indy corp to build an XL citadel in a C3 wormhole.

Hazdoc posted:You can still solo dumb retrievers in .5 systems with a T2 Catalyst. Ganking is a lot more fun with friends, though. Technically you could, a cat costs what 2m? You should get 6-10m in drops from most barges. That said, it'd be really slow going and it certainly wouldn't pay enough to plex and buy tags for sec status, too. Vector ganking can be very profitable and miniluv will pay 20m isk for each successful gank in certain areas.

We talking things we learned? How about don't pack a third of the stuff you just ripped off of a pubbie corp and try to make that "one last jump" through low sec space, even when all the people are docked up. Because they can undock and get on gate faster than you can align to the gate...

Ixjuvin posted:Thanks but I already shipped up a VNI, found it workable but slow, and decided to spring for a Gila which I am much happier with! It's the most expensive thing I've ever flown, which is making me a little nervous, but I'm being a good, careful little ratter with it so hopefully it will be a while before I get jumped by Poitot or something. It's all fun and games until the theta fleet assures you that you can run the first two stages of an escalation in your Gila. First stage is easy, then you get blitzed in the second... Great news is that it doesn't take long to pay for itself and with the right fit, you don't really have to worry about Poitot.

If in doubt use a passive tank fit so you don't end up as space debris in case you come across a site with neuts. With a bit of bling a Gila can 100% afk tank cloud havens as well if you so desire. Yeah, this was my 2.7m gank pilot attempting to rat up some sec status. I'm sure my main could have done it, and I should have contracted it over to him, but I didn't and I popped. Now he lives in high sec full time and I buy tags...
