ceaselessfuture posted:As a complete outsider who has been somewhat interested in getting involved in EVE, I really appreciate this thread because it will give me some info that the other one didn't and the neutrality of it, but that being said, EVE drama (Imperium/MBC stuff, specifically) is why I might be joining in the first place, so my question is if there will be any discussion on the meta-story in this thread, or do I have to go to RockPaperShotgun or wherever. It's going to be very hard to find neutrality in this thread. The previous one only had problems because people like to poo poo it up since they can't destroy us in game. Basically if the dude with the Flanders AV says it, it's legit.

US109 posted:On-grid links are still an interesting force multiplier outside of Command Ship fleets Eh. The problem with links as a force multiplier is that it's the new normal. Fleets rarely undock without them. And if you lose them, you can't stand on the field without a large advantage. A lot of fleet comps only work with links. Fleets often have to wait for links, which just slows everything down. Also, how does it count as interesting? Flying a domi and assigning drones was more engaging gameplay than links.

What are you talking about? We don't have that. That's only for doing strategic reimbursement fleet stuff. gently caress, like day old newbies lead fleets. Edit: I have had fleets dumped on my lap and I am vehemently not space important or vetted, or good.

causticBeet posted:So when are they going to shrink the map? Honestly just morph 30% of the random rear end dead end pockets that have like one dude botting some retrievers into one big gently caress off system with a few stars like 400au apart. That's a big problem with the whole "small independent groups" target that CCP is pushing so hard. The way the map is setup, you can't have a bunch of little dudes who aren't blue to eachother and still effectively use the space. Just squishing it will undo what little good came from space aids.

Jazzzzz posted:I don't know if anything's changed but my limited experience with "big" battles from 8 years ago was lag, wondering if my modules were going to actually activate, more lag, making a sandwich and drinking a beer or three, people yelling, more people whining about lag, and lag Tidi makes everything slow down evenly, so no more black screen for 3 hours and waking up in a pod. Sometimes there is a long load time, but usually you can still load grid. Since things are so much slower, there's a lot more methodical thought into targets and actions and things. And you can pop off for a cigarette or piss or sandwich or whatever and not really miss anything in the big fleets. People bitch about TiDi, and that is basically the biggest indicator that they've never known the suffering that was pre-TiDi 1000 man fleet battles.

ullerrm posted:On a positive note, I managed to find a unicorn today in the ship skin collection -- got one of the Guristas Scorpion skins for a hair under 10B. (They weren't meant to be released, but were accidentally bundled in with some PLEX offer; there's less than 20 of them in the game at the moment.) That leaves pretty much two hyper-expensive rare skin on my list: the Umbral Nyx, and the Palatine Capsule. They gave us these lovely skins for way too much money. But then they put loving awesome skins on the chinese server, which can't be had for any amount of money on our servers. It's just silly.

Ahh, remember back before B-R when grath and other PL dudes said that a good balance for titans was that they should be able to kill anything smaller and not be killed by anything less than more titans? And then after B-R that kind of talk got much smaller. Now they have majority again, I wonder what stance they'll take.

VideoGames posted:
Do not buy, sell, trade, or in any way interact with anything you see in Jita local. If it doesn't look like a scam, it's just a scam with mechanics you aren't familiar with. edit: okay, so people got there first. I was just in a rush to make sure you didn't get scammed. Also, another one to watch for is people listing things for much more than normal, or buying things that are much cheaper. Sometimes it's easy to look at something selling for billions and think it's millions. Or selling stuff for thousands when you wanted to sell it for millions. Probably not this early in your eve game life, but it's something to watch for. I think most people here have been caught by it at least once.

Xolve posted:I think it's more to do with bringing PL a fight has no downsides for PL, as more often than not- we'd absolutely take the fight. Um, you guys pick and chose your fights just as much as everyone else. And there is always a downside, cause when PL gets their nose bloodied hard, they go ride bikes and give up the strategic goals. It's so normal that it spawned a catch phrase. CainFortea fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Apr 30, 2016 |

Just ignore the dudes moving freighters full of poo poo around to do production or export. Not JFs. Regular freighters. No one lives without importation from jita. But we got pretty good at local sourcing. The theta mating call was "I'm so wasted and I have tritanium!"

 question.With Pyfa, the graphs section has a drop down at the top that says DPS. This implies you can graph different things. But I can't find a way to actually do that. You know of any way to graph alpha instead of DPS? I mean, I can do the math by hand and all but it's slow and annoying and I prefer graphs.

Endie posted:That's not the strategic point of them: what's left of the imperium won't be saved by whether it can keep ADMs down because they can somehow hold a grid for 14 minutes but not 26 minutes. The point of them is to give people fun things to do that seem to have a point and keeps them logging into the game and into jabber. If it works then it won't be the first time - it won't even be the second time - that Boat's preternatural ability to just keep on relentlessly optimistically logging-in and entertaining people has saved goonswarm. It is far easier to Jack stuff with lower ADMs. Grid holding has very little to do with it. Pitched battles rarely happen, as usually when MBC defends it's with overwhelming numbers. Also with lower ADMs, the more likely you can ninja a system. But please, go on about how ADMs have no impact on sov.
