Catberry posted:Huh this game has MAGA caps without the text. That's awkward. Make New Eden Great again. These Sanshas are coming in, and you know they are not bringing their best people. The are belt rats, they are can stealers, they are gate campers. We need to build a big huge glorious bubble along the empire boarders!

dragonshardz posted:I was more specifically talking about CO2 but you're not wrong - a healthy EVE is one where there's always a war somewhere. They should let player alliances to fight CONCORD and capture soverign space from the NPC empires. Also destroy and build new jump gates.

lucifirius posted:Looks like they're going to punish for any abuse, even retroactively. Why are they calling it an "exploit" now? It was an intentional feature when I started playing 8 years ago. An incentive for people to return to the game after a long absence. I mean, if they wanted it to stop it would be very simple. Put a piece of code into the algorithm that activates when an account goes from Omega to Alpha that clears out the training queue. It would be like one line of code.

kzin602 posted:So I decided to take a look at this game after many years away, I logged in and every player in my LOCAL has bios full of Russian. Currently my character is in JV1V and the navigation systems says i'm some 50 jumps away from highsec space. Why would you make a new character? You would be starting from scratch and you have pleanty of training on that guy already. I would recommend going to hisec and getting refamiliar with the game, but it should come back quickly. I just starting playing again myself after a 7 year absence, and everything seem pretty similar. The fittings on ships seem to have been changed at some point, and all my Iteraon 3's turned into some stupid trash garbage for hauling planetary material only  Other than that its' pretty much the same.

Traveller posted:Hey, doing this bad game thing again. Started from scratch as a Caldari alpha, tried my hand at mining to say from experience that it sucks as a solo rookie in a Venture, and bumbled around until I got into FW. Now I'm still space poor, but having fun losing cheap ships and tooling around in lowsec, and my name is on an expensive Deimos killmail somewhere. You should joins goons in Delve, I've found it a lot safer than anywhere else and there are a lot more opportunities. There will always be people hunting you in EVE, but at least in Goon Space you will hear about them on the Intel channel 4 jumps before they get to you, and you can dock without incident. Even if you are just mining in Frigate, you will make a lot more mining Arkanor then you will Veldspar.

orange juche posted:This is wrong. High-ends don't sell for dick. They're also huge at 16m3 per unitwhich means your wimpy 64m3 Mining Laser II will only pull 4 units per cycle. Lower end minerals have more refined minerals per m3 than high end stuff.  Maybe the prices have changed since I last played. My Alpha status prevents me from taking out the old mining barge. I found its best to "mine" the belt rats anyway, you get more minerals from the refined loot and the bounties/salvage on top.

Rhymenoserous posted:Goon posts about how he's getting in cool fights, second goon posts "Oh hey join the swarm you can totally coddle up". Compared to the past where we'd say things like "Yeah jump into the deep end with us and you'll be a better player and maybe kill people too." A strong economy is the foundation of a strong army.

Traveller posted:There is that SOE mission where pirates ask for a big ransom in planetary money, which is given to you as a worthless item called "A Pile Of Money". And I remember a chronicle where a Minmatar fugitive is pleading with the capsuleer piloting the ship he's in not to jettison him into space and offers him like six million bucks from some world. The capsuleer runs the numbers, it comes up to around 3600 ISK, and promptly jettisons the fugitive's hab quarter. The US military budget could fit a small gang, I'd say. What does it cost to become a capsuleer?

E Equals MC Hammer posted:This thread is taking an odd turn away from retard soapbox derby to space canon discussion, is that an improvement? EVE online has a really cool hard sci-fi story, which is quite rare for an MMO. Though I am surprised that over the 7 years I have been away they didn't make an expansion out of opening the EVE Gate back to the Milky Way. That seems like such an obvious move. In fact it doesn't seem like they added much at all since I left. I remember them adding Rorquals, Freighters, Jump Freighters, Tech 3 ships, and Stealth Battleships just before I left. But in the 7 years since I came back they haven't added any ships at all. Just a bunch of skins and other "premium" bullshit content.

Rhymenoserous posted:Were those ever really even a thing? I remember hearing that back in the day nullsec logistics was literally jamming a carrier full of iterons and the like and that SC's were more useful for logistics than conflict. No one wants to guard a lovely freighter for 30 jumps. No one ever did that, it's a waste of time/fun. I would rather run missions in empire.

R-Type posted:Seems like Alpha Clones are really being abused. A lot of Syndicate pipes now are populated with the watchful eyes of alphas who are camping systems and watching traffic. Did CCP not know people in corps could easily multibox or run up a bunch of VM's and set up eyes on vast amounts of space with a bit of effort? Going a little further with some creative programming and scripting, it would be easy to start identifying player travel patterns or follow a player, groups or corps around in realtime without having scouts in ships. They might as well as just opened up the API data and saved effort. CCP never fails to impress me with their ability to smash themselves in the nuts. You could always do this with trial accounts, there is no difference. Alphas are good and the change was good. working mom posted:Give them each different "roles" instead of being just a bettering progression, such as less fitting room, less cap usage, more ammo stored etc I like that. It might mean I get more money from my rat loot!

Gwyneth Palpate posted:retards with no structures of their own think that existing structure havers will continue to store everything and anything in a citadel if it is full loot, and seem incapable of understanding the basic risk avoidance behavior of keeping poo poo in NPC If you could loot assets from Citadels i think it would eventually result in one alliance dominating all nullsec. As it stands you can't really "defeat" a large alliance entirely, because a large portion of their wealth/ships are safe when docked. If you could loot citadels this would change. It would be possible to break the back of an alliance by stealing all of their wealth generating ships/blueprints. It would also give the conquering alliance a huge boon in resources. These resources could then be used to continue conquering, until only one alliance remains.

There is always room to compete, you just have to find an out of the way corner of space. The further from Jita you get the higher the profit margins of industry.

Blasphemaster posted:Try taking up homebrewing. The initial equipment investment and loss from trial and error is significant but the gains once you get the hang of it are amazing. I recommend focusing on meads and fruit wines. A home still added to this setup can improve the efficiency quite a bit. Compressed alcohol is much easier to transport.
