    "Nomad" Day 2: I'm Scared of Mining Lasers

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 04:50 PM PDT

    I'm pretty sure I have an addiction. I was browsing reddit a few days ago and ran into a post about how the wealthy were buying out a bunch of $400k Rolls Royce's and my immediate thought was "damn must be the industry changes."

    Day 2: I'm Scared of Mining Lasers

    Daily Log - P.I.

    I logged in to find that my hours sunk into the P.I. setup was a waste. Lots and lots of red, crossed out circles. I guess that's what I get for doing it at 1 in the morning. So the night began with a couple more hours of clicking, forgetting to submit changes, then clicking some more. The dumbest issue I ran into was with my Orca toon.

    My Orca toon is one of the key T0-1 harvesting characters for the chain and having to throw it out of the hole in order to switch ships to collect the goods adds an obscene amount of time to the daily process. Not only that, but it adds incredible risk as I jump back in forth with a bunch of my characters to switch out the only 2 hauling ships I brought with me. Plus, jumping an orca between safes, wormholes, and stations makes me sick to the stomach. But, I did learn a little trick... The orca has an MWD on it! Cut my align time in half and made me half as sick.

    People did eventually catch onto what was happening and I was forced to step away for an hour as a small fleet from the HS connection sat on the hole.

    It's not as though I couldn't/didn't want to fight them.... but I didn't want to fight them. I'm a pussy.

    Finding My Money Making Routine

    From there I tried to find what my daily routine would end up being. I started with scanning all of the connections and then the neighboring connections. The least fun part.

    From there I took my Gila and ran some sites. People were EVERYWHERE. You can only fit so many things into a hole before it gets uncomfortable. 3 holes later I found a quiet system that would allow me to relax and make an easy 400m in blue loot.

    I've decided I should use a character to follow my main around and salvage. An idea I had is to make this Nomad adventure self sufficient! Build every single thing I need/fly, including the Tengu and Nestors I want. It would be a bitch, but I'm determined into making Eve a Minecraft clone.

    Next came exploration, then huffing, lots of mining, and then I needed a bit more excitement.

    PvP

    While I was in my C3 with the Gila I kept track of things back home with the Orca and on D-Scan I found a group of 2 manticores. I logged my bait Heron character in, my tackle Astero, and then my main in a Stratios. I wasn't too stressed about the engagement, until, the engagement started.

    Almost immediately after deploying the bait the bombers decloaked, but instead of 2 it was 7. I'm not sure if I had any reason to be scared... but I was. I decloaked the Stratios and Astero while my Heron was being engaged and grabbed tackle on 3 of the bombers. The drones shredded through 2 of them. Almost immediately after the bombers died 4 more and a venture warped in.

    I sent the Astero after one more, grabbed tackle, and I was immediately tackled as well. Drones chewed through the bomber. I warp the stratios off.

    My Heron was fit with 3 shield boosters and was surviving just fine. The Astero on the other hand was tackled by 3 bombers and the venture. It was not fine.

    I burned away and overheated everything I had. At 5% the torps stop hitting, and the venture finishes me off. Believe it or not, I still suck at solo PvP. At least I was isk positive and finally hit 50% dangerous on Z-Kill!

    But that didn't stop me! Given my new determination to play Minecraft: Eve Edition, I had gathered all of the materials to build myself a Tristan with fittings and drones. I was so goddamn proud. It was like I had just given birth to my new son. I took him to the nearest low-sec to see how he'd handle and of course, I got absolutely butt-fucked on the first plex.

    There was a condor sitting on a small but, I've killed Condors before in my kiting Tristan so I didn't think much of it. But apparently my D-Scan was missing a few things and I never saw the scan inhibitor. I land on the plex, and behold... 5 Nergals > Open Overview Settings > Deployable > Scan Inhibitor

    Conclusion

    I didn't have much time to play, but it was a much more interesting day than the last. Made some cash, got a few kills, died to a venture, and finished setting up the hell that is P.I. Hopefully next time I can put some more time in and get better stories.

    I can already tell that this style can get quite repetitive very quickly. I am currently enjoying it all, but I can already feel I'm going to have to get creative in the future.

    Tales from a Solo Ninja Huffer Part 1

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 10:42 AM PDT

    Greetings and salutations my fellow capsuleers.

    While sitting in the great unknowns called J-space, d-scanning frantically for foes, and huffing that sweet sweet gas that we all love and hate, I felt inspired to write some (pre)cautionary tales to pass the time.

    I doubt this will be comprehensive, or even logical, but hopefully it will inspire some to try day-tripping, and wormholing for life, and understand some of the dangers, and rewards that are just 8 scanner probes away.

    My qualifications? Well I'm a nobody really. The guy who cleans your streets, picks up your trash, huffs the many many untouched and very dusty gas clouds just brimming with anticipation of your arrival.

    15 years or so I've been "around" Eve. Started out clueless, dragged in by friends, looking for a spaceship fix only to be confused by endless menus and ever changing pvp meta while just learning how to run missions and stay alive.

    Fast forward to today and I'm living in J-space, have a great wormhole crew. Love them all. A huffing fleet is only one shout out away, and one jump away from home hole as well. Boosts, prospects, banter, and lots of sweet sweet huffing.

    But that's not what I'm here to talk about. Not yet. I got bored.

    Yes, Bored. Not bored of making isk. No I love that. Huffing has put a lot of isk in the pocket no doubt, but I wanted to know if I could take what I learned and translate it into a solo alpha account.

    Yes, I am cheating on my corp, but I'll be back. I never really left them.

    So with that in mind, I loaded up a new character, and with purity in mind I started grinding the starter missions. I knew I would get all the ships I needed, and isk. 24 hours later I had 2 ventures, a scanning ibis, 2 Nereus and 15mil isk and a plan. I loaded up public pathfinder, made myself a new map and started out from my nest in the starter area.

    My intention was to do exploration at first to make enough isk to buy the gas cloud harvester skillbook, and so I started mapping connections to wormholes out from my starting area being sure to bookmark at the hole from the overview and always make my home bookmark to highsec immediately before uncloaking on the wormhole side.

    So from there I built out a map of available holes, life and mass left, as well as scanning and bookmarking gas and data/relic sites. I make it sound easy yes as I have experience, but I think it's something anyone could do.

    I'll let you in on a little secret. I never did fully grind for my skillbook. I did the eve classic of begging. Cunningly, politely and extremely graciously of course, and one kind pilot gifted me more than what I need to get my gas huffing operation up and running. I will tell you what though, fine Redditors and Eve captains, in only 24 hours I have huffed more than 90million isk worth of raw gas, have not lost a ship, and have gotten enough to more than pay back my investor, and then some.

    Thank you all for reading I will leave it there for now, as my hold is currently full, the rats have spawned and my connection to HS is EOL, time to go.

    Popping my Spectre Fleet cherry

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 08:49 PM PDT

    Today I figured I'd give a Spectre Fleet a go. You might remember they were the NPSI outfit who did the roam with CCP a couple of months ago where hundreds of frigates went around blapping dreads.

    Getting on with one of these fleets is really easy. Type "eve npsi" into your search engine of choice and you'll find their websites with links to calendars and discord channels. There you'll find info on their in-game channels which you'll need to join to x-up in for any fleets you want to join. You'll also need to jump on comms, talking is not mandatory but receiving fleet commands is.

    Today's fleet was a "Ganked - Lazer Party" – the doctrine was assault frigs and t3 dessies with frickin' lazerbeams coming out of their heads (Retributions and Confessors). Fits are a bit blingy but worth it to to get a decent buffer and make logi easier. Command destroyers would be on hand for booshing targets to safer skies. I jumped into a retribution and headed out to the form up in Nourvukaiken.

    En route to staging, a vargur was spotted warping with a blob to an open complex in Tama. After a quick call for bhaalgorn pilots and some reshipping we warped in, sadly, just as the vargur warped off followed quickly by everyone else who was there. Was it something we said?

    I didn't know what to expect but our hyper-aggressive chase of the vargur said it all. The fleet's sole purpose was to kill, like a host of army ants we now owned all space before us and those in that space were presented with two choices: dock up or die. At least anyone choosing the latter got to see a cool lazer light show in their final moments.

    Heading back to station to form-up properly and put the baggies back, a brutix ni made the fatal error of jumping into system. We bounced off the station and the brutix evaporated under the combined microwaving power of our lazer beams. There were about 50 of us in fleet at this point. The retribution fit we were using puts out about 375dps cold, the confessors around 450. With a combined 20k dps at our disposal, nothing was safe. A lesson quickly taught to a rattlesnake pilot who thought the confusion of the brutix kill would be enough cover to get back to the open plex.

    The fleet hadn't actually formed up yet and had already scored 1.4B in kills. This set the tone for the next two hours of my eve career.

    Now properly formed, roles assigned and watch lists set up, we continued to terrorise Black Rise, bouncing from system to system and annihilating anything we could land on.

    A ratting domi chose the wrong moment to pass through Sujarento as did a plexing talwar fleet. After bumping an afk falcon off tether (why would you not just dock up – particularly when you're rocking a 2B pod?!?) we chased down a machariel, which had also made a critical timing error. I felt for the mach pilot, holding gate cloak for as long as possible, delaying the inevitable. I've been there too, it's a sucky feeling but props for providing content – take your place in the great circle of life and comfort in the fact that it didn't take long once it started.

    After killing the freshly reshipped talwar fleet again (sorry guys) we got into a fight with a harbinger and a prophecy with catalysts in support before probing down a safed-up gila (dock up or die remember). It was around this point that I wished I'd come in a confessor. Once the fleets were engaged the biggest challenge was keeping up with how quickly things were dying, anything outside of the retribution's 19km range would disappear before I had time to close the gap. It's a good problem to have but I was missing out on sweet kills!

    We were now taking major salt from the locals which was ironic as anyone who's ever done faction warfare near Tama will know just about everyone is a pirate ready to blob you. I was loving the salt but our FC got tired of the easy kills and decided it was time for a challenge. Zkill tipped us off to a nearby Darkside gang scoring gate camp kills with a vargur. Having already been given the slip by one of these beasts, killing one would settle a score so we trekked across New Eden to lay a trap for it.

    A bait praxis was sent ahead and proved to be too good a target to pass up. Two jumps over our fleet was waiting but we were spotted, the intel was passed along and the vargur quickly disengaged, warping back to a citadel. We now had 60 seconds and they weren't wasted. As we streamed into system the vargur was scrammed and held right up to the point it was booshed off the station and set upon by our angry swarm. It was surprising how quickly even a marauder dies to that many lazers. Surprising and satisfying. The kill itself may have been easy but it took some major-league FCing to set it up. Massive props to the excellent Virion Stoneshard for pulling it off.

    Our objective achieved, we headed back for Black Rise. What I really liked about this fleet was that it wasn't just about the blob, we spotted a wolf fleet with logi support bossing an open plex and warped in to offer up a genuine fight. The offer wasn't taken but it really spoke to what we were there for. Seeing how the locals weren't going to give us a fleet engagement we headed off to join one already in progress. Looked like Darkside were fighting Horde in The Forge, surely we could go find some action and get on a few tasty kills?

    Things had just wrapped up when we got there but we did find a solo phoenix camping a gate. We'd been going for a few hours by this point and our numbers were dwindling. We didn't have the firepower to kill a dread but we pointed it anyway to see what would happen. It's a uniquely exhilarating experience to stare down a dreadnought in a frigate. I don't often get the pvp shakes anymore but aside from the calm instructions from our FC, all I could hear was my own heartbeat, much faster than usual, filling my headphones.

    The gate fire lit up as the friends of the phoenix came to help out, lots of them. Over comms I hear "Let's take this fight, we're going to die but we might get some good kills and it'll be fun."

    THIS IS THE WAY!

    Of course that was before the fax dropped cloak. I can't blame them for bringing it, if my pal was next door with a fax I'd want them on grid but it was instant buzz kill. We took the gate. We were happy to fight and die but not without any chance of killing anything in return. Luckily there just happened to be a crow waiting for us next door as a consolation kill.

    At this point, now three hours and 20 kills into the fleet (+ many more I wasn't fast enough to get on), I had to go do RL. Wishing my fleetmates continued good hunting I dropped fleet and went about my day. I still haven't stopped smiling.

    Huge thanks to Virion and the Spectre Fleet team and GFs to all involved. This was some of the best content I've ever had. To anyone who hasn't tried a NPSI fleet, go give it a go. The NPSI community has introduced me to a side of EVE I would have never found on my own and they've made it really fun.

    Where art thou Electro-Neural Signaller?

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 04:50 PM PDT

    This post exists both to bring this to the attention of the community and to try and bring this issue to the attention of CCP.

    So, I've been keeping an eye on the prices of the new exploration loot, mostly because I wanted to know the implications for our alliance's capital production. I have found a bit of a problem, however.

    Electro-Neural Signaller. There have been a grand total of zero sold in all of eve since the patch dropped. All the other loot has been found, including the supposedly rarer and more valuable items, so I'm frankly wondering if CCP left it out of the loot tables.

    Why is this a problem? Each Dread, Carrier, or Fax requires one Electro-Neural Signaller in its build process. Simply put, if we don't find these items before the BPs change, there will be NO more capital production.

    If you have found one, please chime in below, I really hope I am panicking over nothing.

    EDIT: To clarify where my worry is coming from. In the patch notes they said all eleven new items were going to spawn as exploration loot. See here https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-19-03

    [CSM 16] Hi, I'm White 0rchid and I'm running for CSM in the hope that EVE can become a better place for everyone

    Posted: 18 Apr 2021 01:29 AM PDT

    Hi all

    My main forum post: https://forums.eveonline.com/t/vote-white-0rchid-for-csm-16/306131

    Primarily, my aim is simply to make the CSM and the game a better place for everyone, from all areas of space. I've lived pretty much everywhere at some point in my "EVE career", with the exception of Pochven.

    I would position myself as a mid ground between other CSM members who may hail from a specific part of space, and playing devil's advocate as to how those changes may affect the game as a whole (so we don't get scenarios where you can't bring certain cores into wormholes for example).

    I would really like to see the continuation of the QoL changes that make all those little annoyances that much more convenient, without any loss to the core principles that make EVE what it is.

    I'm level headed and am happy to listen to arguments and pain points from all players in the hope that we can collectively make EVE a more enjoyable game to play.

    Thanks

    White o7

    Lowsec gate camps and CovertOps

    Posted: 17 Apr 2021 03:23 AM PDT

    I've been flying blockade runners for awhile. I've never had any problems in lowsec. I fly very alert and active. I always cloak immediately. I've flown past more lowsec gate camps than I can count, always without issue - until recently.

    I lost a blockade runner to a lowsec gate camp. I was unable to cloak. I thought I made a mistake. It all happened so fast. Maybe there was something within 2000m of me and I couldn't cloak. I wasn't sure.

    I went back to the same gate camp in another blockade runner (empty). I'm super alert. I'm on my "everything" overview tab, which shows.... Everything. I go through the gate. I am in gate cloak. The everything tab says the nearest object to me is 15km away. I've done it a million times before... jump.. cloak... But this time, again... fail.

    The instant I leave gate cloak I am targeted, unable to warp, unable to cloak, and I die within 5-10 seconds.

    I tried it a third time (I'm a glutton for punishment). Again, I died. I could not engage my CovertOps cloak.

    The pirate group doing this is camping both sides of the gate.. So there is no escape.

    I went to the killboard and checked... Numerous CovertOp ships destroyed at this gate. I saw several kills of the "Victorieux Luxury Yacht". I don't know much about this ship, but reading the description it looks immune to these types of camps... But obviously not.

    What am I missing? Has something changed?

    Thank you!

    Perspective from a line member.

    IGC Ihub in their Keepstar system NX5W-U came out of reinforcement today.

    AOM and Fi.Re coalition set out to flip the Ihub. Entosing in the constellation started after downtime. IGC had pinged for backup from their allies. After a 30min stand-off at the NX5 gate, AOM jumped and Fire followed. At this point the story gets weird, because FRT had bubbled the gate and was attacking AOM. Fire fleet started to shoot FRT. At that poing, Init and others jumped in. Subsequently, FRT warped out and the fight was now between IGC+Allies vs. AOM+Fire. AOM+Fire held the gate and another skirmish happened at the Ansiblex. AOM+Fire successfully entosed the last node and flipped ihub. Before departing, the Ansiblex was killed.

    Video starts just when the fight started in the system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FDxPzTFyL0

    Edit:

    This reply was from a FC in FRT.

    from HikariHomura via /r/Eve sent an hour ago

    I'm fc from FRT,I can responsibly tell you that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between us and AOM.

    Without affecting the strategic objectives of the coalition forces, we will give priority to attacking AOM.

    However, as we all know, whether AOM is on the battlefield or not , its contribution to the coalition forces is very small,just like today, even if we destroy the AOM first, we can still continue to accomplish the original operational objectives.
