Rigs are size-graded now so they're actually quite reasonably priced. You're no longer paying the same for a trimark on a BS as on a frig.

It's actually gotten to the point where I will T2 damage / ambit rig T2/faction hulls more or less as standard. They're not the big money items of yesteryear. Slapping T1 damage rigs on a ship adds very little to the cost.

Some rigs (CDFE, Trimark) may well cost more than a T1 hull but then probably so will T2 modules and faction ammo so meh. That's just kind of how the maths works out with cheap hulls.

Unless you're making a total junkfit I'd say you basically always want to rig.

In PVP most stuff is now rigged so you want it to stay competitive. It's such a no brainer sticking HP rigs on, most people do.

On a PVE ship it depends on the fit but they are such a boost for some fits. For passive shield tanking they're the difference between rubbish and awesome.

Wouldn't bother with them on that rax (isn't that the exact same fit as before? Same advice as I posted before counts. I'd only add you don't need to train a skill to remove modules) but generally.

Jusr re-subbed my acounts for 30 days each. Been away since Incursion? (2 expansions ago) is there anything I should know? I left shortly after wormholes and what not...

Join the ocuk channel in game m8. I have also just resubbed and have been asking plenty of questions in there.

 

[Saviola]

Yeah I re-subbed recently and getting back into the flow was a bit sticky but a week later and it was like I was never away.

On another note, any of you used an ISK buying service? A guy here at work says he buys stuff every month, has done for a year and never been caught. He lucky or have they got good?

CCP will sell you 'plex' for £ , an ingame item that can be redeemed for 30 days gametime or sold on the market for ISK, not worth looking into dodgy sites IMO especially as CCP punishments are rather harsh if you get caught with bought isk.

They will strip your account of the isk they believe you have purchased, sounds fair enough but theres a kicker, this may put you in negative isk, if it does your boned, they have restricted so many of the normal economic functions from players with negative isk there may be no way out (if you are a 'young' enough charecter and your defecit is large enough)

 

[Saviola]

Its not from CCP, no doubt Chinese farmers

He gave me some start up capital they better not come for me

 

[Kavalree]

Just wondering, can I re-sculpt my in game guy? He looks too much like George Michael...

 

[Dazzy_G]

Yeah go to the mirror in the captains quarters

or Re-customization in the station services window if you are ship spinning

 

[Retromatic]

If you are feeling a little lost just jump in to the OCUK chat channel anf go from there.

I am tempted to bring my 2 accounts back online and move them back to OCUK and try and revitalise the corp a little. Lots of new blood, missions, mining etc.

Could be a nice challenge, and it'd be nicer than trawling through corps with 1-5 people in or those that are dead set on going to low sec then trying to get a foothold in 0.0 and never managing it because only crappy 0.0 alliances take them on.

Tempting...

 

[Horse Pop]

You would have that ISK removed if/when your mate gets caught.

Supporting gold farming is pretty terrible. Your mate is literally worse than pol pot.

I can only change things like hair, eye colour and clothes Need to re-shape his George Michael/Tom Cruise face...

I think for a resculpt you have to pay for a portrait swap.

Must be same gender and bloodline.

And how do I go about that?

 

[Horse Pop]

Make a new character with the face you want on the same account.

Go to account management.

Choose the portrait swap option.

Friend had 600mil removed from his wallet, after their investigation regarding a gold seller, over 1 year later of the incident. Removal was in 2011 and they kept quoting something that happened in 2010. He contested it with their customer support to the highest level and all just said "yep, you bought ISK" eventho he hasn't, the money came from someone else for buying something from the market that my friend had sold there. He was then at -500mil and I had to send him ISK so that he could do normal things again...

It's pretty stupid to buy from goldfarmers in EVE when you can get the ISK legitimately as well with selling PLEX. Your friend is supporting really s***ty things....

 

[Xordium]

By using Goldfarmers you are also supporting some of the more onerous alliances in the game who in my eyes don't really add anything but seem to take rather a lot.

Yeah I agree, he a work colleague not a friend

As long as they don't take the 50m he gave me I'm cool.

 

[AHarvey]

well, I've resubbed my main after playing a 14 day trial. If I get back in to it and start making the ISK i'll resub my second account

However, I am stuck in a WH at the moment. As I've been gone for 8 months it appears that someone has helped themselves to the few ships I had in there. Domi, salvager, Orca (hadn't even flown it as I am 1 skill off) and my Proteus that I again hadn't flown

Damn shared hangers and they are refusing to refund them.

Luckily I've several ships in Isinokka I think IF i can get a high sec out from the WH.

Guess I need to try and find old spreadsheets as well as building up my module stocks again.

Wat?

They took your stuff. Go buy something cloaky and ganky and then make them wish they had paid for it when you had asked nicely.

 

[AHarvey]

yeah we had shared hangers, name you ship with your initials and no one should touch them. Seems someone has though.

There are ships there I could just take make up for it, but corp theft isn't really my thing.

Already in a scanner ship so as soon as the hi sec WH pops up i'll be out of there. It's been the worst experience of my eve life with this corp. Waiting around for enough people all the time!
