    a night to remember: tribute to pilots that try their best

    >log in nyx that was logged off ever since I left skill urself (roughly half year or more)

    >refit for nano dunk, delete full HG slave set, put HG ascenancies (WS-618 no omega) in

    >gate nyx eight jumps with a scout arazu ahead

    >realize nyx warps literally same speed as this recon

    >nice meme

    >initial plan was to log off in range of one of their highways. chinese are currently finishing their month-long move from angel space to passage and there's a route of several gates that they take with some throwaway carriers/dreads sometimes. moveops are done for good so if someone is gating it's unlikely they will get help fast. my plan was to hyperdunk some poor fucker gating a carrier and leave asap in order to avoid too much attention

    >it's 3 AM local time, I'm done moving and now am in Cache (who the fuck even goes there)

    >thinking I should log off; Chinese are waking up and I don't want them to get spoopy

    >something inside me tells me to gate my arazu to the pipe system where I was planning on dunking

    >ok, I guess I can do that, can work from home tomorrow

    >start gating leaving nyx alone in local

    >after gating my arazu 15 more jumps I stumble upon an anchored bubble in the destination system

    >might as well kill it, got some acolyte IIs up in this bitch

    >start approaching

    >bubble slowly dying. it's a t2 small anchorable bubble so should be fast enough

    >keep in mind it's getting close to 4 AM local time, and I do work daylight schedule

    >a loki decloaks on gate, roughly 70 km off me

    >in retrospect I understand that I have tried hunting this guy with my singu combination, so he might have remembered who my arazu pilot is

    >arazu is twin-tanked and is a throwaway fit, couldn't care less

    >at some point I lose my faith in EC-300s

    >30% armor

    >"well, guess this will be my first solo kill with this Nyx" - I think to myself and put long point & scram on this loki

    >technically I killed some structures solo with Nyx, but come on those don't count

    >loki doesn't seem to care much. I slow down a little bit and cyno up

    >the moment I do, a tengu decloaks. while my Nyx is jumping I realize that tengu pilot is someone I have already killed in my past, and he was extremely enthusiastic about getting his revenge (from now on I'll call this tengu pilot Zurg)

    >so there I was, Nyx and Arazu (in hull) on a gate grid in Cache, in a highway system of Chinese who are about to wake up (4 AM local time is 9 AM Beijing time)

    >I start locking these t3s while my Arazu bleeds structure

    >Arazu dead

    >I cycle my subcap mwd and warp out to a random customs at a hundred, thinking this would be it: arazu dead, they left unpunished. a small win for krabs. well, could be worse I guess

    One of the best nights in Eve, ever. Would not recommend.

    Shoutout to LORDE, 2GTHR, FRT and others who did their best - you were this close to a well deserved cultural victory. I did not log in any characters since.

    Finding Corp by TZ Acitivty - reverse heatmap

    Posted: 24 Oct 2019 11:48 PM PDT

    Zkill has this awesome feature of activity heatmap, which shows kills per hour per day.

    The strong EU presence of Brave

    This is a very useful intel tool, but that not what I wanted to talk about.

    What if I want to find corps who actively PVP during my TZ?

    As most of us grow old, our playing schedule is more specific (and more limited maybe?), so it will be nice if I can use my own heatmap activity to find a corp to join (or maybe to roam to and fight?).

    The result of that idea together with the relatively long lunch breaks in my company, resulted in this:

    You fill up the hours you want, together with the area you look to PVP, and get the top 50 corps that match.

    Always wanted to find Aussies in WHs

    It's still a work-in-progress (all small projects are always in that state)...

    Where is the action in low sec for US timezone?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2019 09:18 PM PDT

    I'm based out of Black Rise FW atm. During the day 11am to 5pm there are small man fleet fights to be had. After 6pm the whole warzone becomes really quiet. Is there somewhere in the USTZ that has a lot of action?

    Incompetent and Proud [ICanP] Free money

    Posted: 25 Oct 2019 02:17 AM PDT

    Headquartered in Usi, I've been with this corp for the past 90 days. While there I have only learned how to mine, mine, and mine some more. They're the "Fastest growing corp" in game with over 1100 members, almost 700 of which have not been active in the last 6 months, and only about 20% of active people on discord.

    They are frightened pale by the very thought of PVP with an actual cost. EVERY SINGLE WAR OR CONFLICT HAS RESULTED IN A MINIMUM 2BIL payout, even for chronic gankers. however, in an effort to prevent casualties to their main fleet ICanP uses Holding corps such as:

    Vega Trust and Holdings

    Anime Waifu Sanctuary

    Doll Squad

    And several others that are just too Hard to keep track of.

    This is a new bro corp and most of it's members can barely fly a cruiser, and they fly an average fleet of 5 (Unless of course, they're mining but even then not a single combat ship) There is absolutely no effort put into PVP, station defense, or any actual combative gameplay. There are literally maybe 4 logi's in the entire corp, directorship and all. It is a swamp, where you'll have mud up to your knee's in a month.

    haw dread vs lxq kitchen sink

    Posted: 24 Oct 2019 09:26 AM PDT

    o7 all, for those of you who don't know me, I'm WoolyWhiteRhino on twitch, and this is my 3rd dread experience. I took out a haw phoenix to LXQ to see what fight I could get. Still a lot to learn with dreads (a lot to focus on etc). As for the mistakes during the fight, I've watched it a few times (the biggest one being I potato-ed and thought of ONI everytime I saw an osprey... amongst other things)

    https://youtu.be/Werlzf4Xdtk

    I hope you ladies and gentlemen enjoy the fight, enjoy your day o7
