This is why it pays to pack ECM. Blackbirds work nicely in small gangs for such a cheap ship...

This is such a great game.

Especially watching 1 Nano'ed Machariels take down a 5-man gatecamp. :D

Sucks to be the noob..I understand what your saying but have no idea how you do it.. But I guess I got a while before I get there..

Another million in the bank last night. Almost got killed though not sure what that pirate used but it just ate my shields.

Off for 12 days soon, just right for my Caldari frigate V training lol.

Any suggestions on a good ship to upgrade from a merlin?

Caracal, around 4 mil I think and its a great missile boat. I used one for ages before my mate got me blown up. Hes a billionaire though so he bought me a drake as a refund :cool:. I have nice friends...

Good timing for the Caldari Frigate V, i've still not got around to learning that yet and i'm coming upon a months playtime!

Edit: Misread the post :p

Well I wont be able to log on for 12 days, so might aswell train something that will last that long?

Edit:Just read your edit :)

Caracal...*Rubs his chin with evil intentions* I guess have to train up for better missile launchers. Another day and a bit, but I guess need that bit extra for weapons, or maybe just strip what I already have in the merlin for the time being.

Caracals can use Standard Missile launchers and I think they have 4 hard points for them if I remember correctly. I had the 4 launchers and a load of bloodclaws loaded onto them. The Caracal I think needs Spaceship Command and Caldari Frigate, can't remember the levels though. You can check it all in the marketplace by going to the info screen and then looking through the tabs.

I think they have a drone bay too which can be extremely handy in level 1 missions when you can't be bothered to waste your ammo on the smaller ships. Just train Drone Operation and Scout Drone Operation to use basic ones.
 
for new chars I'm not sure anymore but last year I trained up another account for a bit of RP (ditched it as 3 accounts where too many)
but I went
Frig 4 then small guns/missiles 4, T1 equip (web, scram, shield extenders and boosters, MWD/AB and hull mods) then Cruisers (med guns, med armour reps, 1600mm plates, hardeners) then T2 frigs (frig 5, ceptors, af, covops + req) T2 guns (Projectiles 5 or hybrid 5) T2 shield/armour, T2 reps/boosters, ECCM,
after that I would have done cruisers 5 + req for HACs and destroyers 5 + req for interdictors
now I think I'd go stuff for interdictors first, then heavy interdictors then everything else.
 
Wish I hadn't gone Caldari Achura now, was told it was the best for starting attributes but I didn't realise that you could get to the same place eventually as any race/gender/bloodline.

Loving my Drake though, it even manages to tank lvl4s although I haven't tried doing any solo yet.

What? I'd like to see someone match my attributes with any race/gender/bloodline.

Pro challenge, match 25/24/9.9/24/24. You are allowed, +4's. You are not allowed to use Caldari / Achura.
