VOLTA tries to tackle rorqs. Rorq ded. Keepstar tickles buttholes. Isk Positive.

Posted: 26 Mar 2020 04:23 PM PDT

Heathens VOLTA try to become relevant again after being fucked from their top member count by corps leaving them for l33t druggy group Sniffed Up.

Yeeting sabres across Immensea with intel channel quality of a Galaxy Note 2 on fire. Rorqs bubbled, then sabres hazed by random hodgepodge of autistic children flying whatever their mom's birthday money got them.

Rorqs were safe while FC's were screaming amidst the cacophony of screaming infants as one warps out while screaming Deja Vu, other panic jumps out to a random cyno beacon....one fucking system over and VOLTA chases....onto a Keepstar grid.

Rorq starts deepthroating Triglavian kitchen sink, realizes he's turbo fucked, and says the immortal words. Fire the Doomsday. Doomsday spools up , VOLTA soils itself as KS pilot yells IMA FIRIN' MA LAZORRR]. Rorq pilot thinks he might be tanked enough to survive. Fuck right.

Rorq pilot failed 2nd grade math, sexually identifies as the Hindenberg and blows the fuck up. Godspeed you amazing bastard.

My trading blog: first > 100-million-ISK-profit trade

Posted: 26 Mar 2020 05:52 PM PDT

Today is Day 45 of my trading "blog" and the first major activity since day 22 (link to previous blog post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/fcp2g3/my_trading_blog_finally_doubled_my_wealth/)

I started trading 44 days ago, on February 11, 2020, with the intention of making the majority of my wealth trading. As you can see, I have stuck to that promise, making 99.3% of my money in trade (although I did go out and do some of the tutorial pvp missions, as I was bored of sitting in a station all day, and for other ... reasons ... as you will see)

My current income sources

So anyway, not much happened between Day 22 and Day 30. I traded some fuel blocks, bought some skills, etc.

I also had my first few major unsuccessful orders. I tried to buy a lot of things, my orders stagnated for several days, and it felt absolutely awful to cancel those orders and waste the broker's fee. But it's always better to admit that you made a mistake and move on**, rather than irrationally invest because you don't want to hurt your pride.** I then bought and sold a couple of cruisers and made some cash, enough to bring my balance up to around 90 million ISK when all was said and done.

I don't know whether to call this luck or skill, but I somehow found a ship where there was (relatively) a lot of trading activity going on, and yet the profit margin was over 60%. So I took a gamble and spent nearly all of my roughly 90 million ISK balance on it. This occurred on March 12, 2020, or Day 31.

Oh, and by the way, the Broker Relations update was on March 10 ... yeeaaahhh ... so every time I needed to update my single extremely risky order, that was another 400k ISK down the drain. Which seems like a small number, but is definitely a very large number when your total balance is only a few million ISK and you have no other way to make money (remember, I promised to not supplement my income too much with explo or mining or anything else).

So anyway, I felt extremely stupid sitting there and wasting a million ISK a day for an order that was never going to get satisfied. I realized that I was going to actually run out of ISK, and wouldn't be able to sell it again! This would be catastrophic! So I did what any self-respecting noob in my position would do: I boarded a free corvette and played the pvp tutorial missions!! Which were actually pretty fun. I didn't feel like I was cheating at my challenge, since my overall income from this was probably no more than 2 million ISK.

And one day later, someone fulfilled my order!! But this was going to be the REALLY tough part, because I was re-selling it for a lot more, which means that the re-listing costs would be proportionally higher as well. Every update now costed a whopping 1.1 million ISK. I was running out of cash FAST. I limited myself to only 1 update per day but it was still super scary...

My time was ticking and I had only 2 more day's worth of cash left. At this point, I was really desperate, and I placed some overpriced buy orders for frigates so that I could re-sell them quickly. The problem is, no one actually sold to them. I still have no idea why. So I had now worked myself into a hole: I had only 1 more order update worth of cash remaining.

In a last Hail-Mary of desperation, I decided to vastly under-price my sell order. I was officially out of cash. Like, completely out. I had only 17,212 ISK left.

And with my luck, someone undercut me by 100,000 ISK the next day. Big RIP. I felt like quitting EVE for a few weeks. Then I thought I might as well try to tour the various star systems in the neighboring regions, because I like spaceships and stars and space stations and they look cool. And then someone shot my frigate down in high sec space (????) but luckily I escaped with my pod. But either way, I was on a total downward streak. Like tilting, except it wasn't my fault - just random unlucky occurrences one after another.

There was one silver lining: all the other sellers, besides that one guy, decided to stay at their original prices. And they would have been stupid to follow me anyway. I was acting out of desperation.

Fast-forward two more days and it finally sells. This was my longest-running buy/sell ever. It took 9 days for my buy order to be satisfied and 5 days for my sell order to be satisfied - i.e. 2 weeks in total. But when all was said and done ... over 100 million sweet ISK in profits, from 1 single order! (I guess, 2, if you count the buy and sell separately) Very cool, very nice. I really had to work for that money!

P.S. this ship is now in extremely high demand with very few sellers, so it's not like you or I can just use this to make a free 100 million ISK every month.

P.P.S. I have a secret admirer on r/eve that downvotes my post as soon as I post it. It's happened 3 times so far! ILY, secret admirer! ❤️

What NPC corp do people suck up to nowodays?

Posted: 27 Mar 2020 04:22 AM PDT

For industry, clones, etc.

Is it still Caldari Navy and SoE?

Caldari Navy has no systems outside of Caldari(duh) and SoE has only two highsec factories, both at ass-end of nowhere.

Just saw a moon extraction cycle start. Thank you, CCP.

Posted: 26 Mar 2020 09:31 AM PDT

I have been playing EVE on and off for a year now, but seeing a moon extraction cycle begin didn't happen to me until today.

I hopped in my Anathema, looking for some moon ores in Boystin. I warped to a bounce bookmark near a refinery, which happened to position me above and just behind the refinery, facing the moon it is orbiting. And then, I saw it. A rapid pulse of energy firing from the refinery to the surface, striking the moon surface in an intricate pattern, then little circular shockwaves rocking the surface and forming a large circular black-and-orange vortex that separated a whole chunk from the surface, then a huge tractor beam picked up the chunk, complete with tons of dust falling off it in waves.

I am a modder for another spaceship game for several years, and this has made me think of spaceships, planets and moons as mere digital objects with number stats, hollow shells dressed in textures instead of tangible, heavy things with steel and tubes or rock and magma inside. Because I know how games work on the inside, it has become difficult for me to suspend disbelief and actually live in what's happening on the screen. So is my perception of that other game, so was my perception of Eve. Until today.

Witnessing a chunk being ripped away from a moon complete with molten rock boiling beneath and dust falling off it, witnessing the very second when a part of the surface gets transformed into a chunk, seamlessly as it would happen in real life, is what made me believe in EVE.

Thank you, CCP.

BREAKING NEWS! As shortage hit the moons across New Eden and Anoikis, the Caldari Navy releases the blueprint for a new, superior battleship to supply loyal capsuleers. It is said to only need the materials of a Corvette, and has the power of two battleships and a cruiser combined.

Hey! I'm from Finland (utc +3) interested in mainly pvp focused groups that are noob friendly :D I played the game multiple years ago and have 1b money and Rokh with some sniper pvp fit. I barely even remember how to operate the ship, so someone would have to walk it all through with me :D I have a microphone. Lets see what you got :p I've been playing pretty much only Elite: Dangerous pvp for last few years, so I'm curious see what this game got to give.
