The *Official* Eve Online Thread

Jakspyder, what you're doing is about the only thing that could drag me back to Eve. Something a bit different and niche (in a game that's already niche). I haven't played in a year, but I assume coming from a goon rental corp would be automatic rejection?

We have people in Corp who have mains in Cfc ;)

Yup, we remain neutral diplomatically. We're not interested in taking sides in the null wars and we only refuse members who are affiliated with certain enemies of which we have few. None of them are major null players.

If you're interested fire an ingame eve mail to "Bum Shadow" (don't ask)

Thats me and I'll give you more details on what we do and such and you can decide if you're interested.
 
OK cheers. I've just bought Dying Light, so going to burn through that co-op with a friend (also an Eve player) and then turn my attentions back to Eve.
 
Going after groups like (marmite collective, etc.) that is a mugs game (unless you really really know how that game is played) highsec wars and griefing and the likes is still a mess of neutral alts/logi, etc. etc. and they'll know all the tricks with regards to aggro chains and so on.
 
I'll second what Rroff said regards initiating conflict.

You are using far too many ships to tackle a Level 4 mission. A single Rattlesnake should breeze that mission. There is no reason to find any mission in this game tough (including DED 10/10 and Level 5 let alone any level 4) with 2 x Rattlesnakes and a fleet booster so I can only assume that you have the skills to fly it correctly or your fits and tactics are a little off. The problem resulting from this is you've made yourself a target.

You are also missioning in an area which is known to be frequented by such types. I have been running missions on and off since I started Eve back in 2005 and I've never had anyone come into my grid in highsec. So I think you need to think about where you do your work.

Another thing I would say is do you really want to be running such a mission for tags with the consequences for your faction standings? If you don't care about factions standings then you'd be better of blitzing through level 4 factions missions and upping the actual amount you earn and also reducing the cost of the ships you are using or running Level 5's with the Rattlesnake but if you are struggling with the level 4's then you shouldn't be doing Level 5's in lowsec.

*hides*

I barely had the skills at the time to fly a T1 frig let alone a faction BS :S

(They only killed me due to the server having a funny moment however :( - sat there at 0 on a station spamming dock with no aggression for >2 minutes before they finally broke my passive regen - firing kinetic missiles against my kin biased fit - due to having seen the same issues with the server as I was experiencing they actually contracted the dropped modules back to me heh).

EDIT: Don't use that fit as a basis for anything... I was still very new to the game in terms of actual experience.

These days for Level 4's you can just gank them out and MJD everywhere then you don't really need a tank. I used to passive brick Level 5's with them.
 
Well spent ages getting my Gallante standings from -7.98 to +0.25.
Several hundred probably thousands of lvl 1 missions and a billion isk buying tags doing data centre missions.
Did the Sisters Arc (only real reason I wanted to fly in gallante space), the Gallante stopped trying to kill me after i got above -5.
Got bored rigid though and got out my trusty pimped navy raven to do some lvl 4 caldari security missions and am now back down to -1.37 , wont take long to be hated again.

Those new burner missions are tough , all the other level 4 missions I have completed without warping out but these are quite tricky.

Why repair it all and trash it again. Seems counter-intuitive to me.

Was getting bored again , plus only 17 days left till I have the skills for the Chimera then I will try a few level 5's.
It would have taken ages to get the standings up to a level I could have done level 4's never mind level 5's with the other factions.
 
Reactivated one of my two main accounts (also have a recon alt) a few days back, interesting to see the changes.

Not sure as to what to actually do in-game at the moment, tempted to go back into piracy but it killed me ratting back to -1.9 to enable to enter high-sec. 0.0 Piracy is fine, but requires too much logistical planning for a quick gank & search - I tend to fly with scouting alts, but they are also combat ready.

Did a bit of exploration to relearn probing, much easier now - but took me a bit of getting used to.
 
http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/world-news/corporation-spotlight-es-and-whizz/

In an effort to bring you more information about your friends and neighbors, as well as enemies and rivals, we introduce the first of our semi-regular "Corporation Spotlight" series.

Our first target in the spotlight is the corporation “Es and Whizz” of “Hedonistic Imperative” [RELAX] who on the 5th of this month celebrated its 10th anniversary.

The corporation evolved from a humble smuggling operation moving illegal goods within the empires to a full blown manufacturing concern providing an end-to-end illegal products solution.

For the entire month there will be celebrations including (but not limited to);

Special Illegal goods discounts across New Eden.
Instructional classes in the illegal markets and the end-to-end production of illegal goods (In Conjunction with EUNI).
A special fleet operation for friends, family, customers and the general public to join in on.
For further information on the celebrations contact Zam Zumah and Ni-Zha, "The Commisar of Truth."
 
Well unfortunately after 8 years playing the game I've finally hung up my "EVE" boots. Shame I can't do anything with the accounts but whatever I've had my fun with them, Thanks CCP for a good 8 years playing.
 
Hmm interesting, being part of a drug cartel would be a new things to do, do you get involved in much PVP?, also how does the pay work for members (in piracy you get solo loot + a share of the monthly payout for example)
 
Now that I'm done with Dying light, I was all set to spend a couple of weeks in Nullsec stockpiling some isk and then applying to E's and Whizz for a new experience. That plan fell on it's back when I used the 4 hour grace period to buy plex only to remember as I checked that I gave away all my money and ships when I quit last year.
Is there any way to join in the E's and Whizz events on a small budget? I'm tempted to just fit a Venture for Gas mining (if I have those skills) and see what I can find. I'm in Null anyway, so can pop to the nearest gas area to see what's about.

Jakspyder recruits for us. I am a self-imposed pleb with no responsibility as I burned myself out running a WH corp many moons ago. I am just a F1 monkey these days and do what I am told.

By and large though the PVP we do is small scale stuff and naturally we don't want enemies but customers. Pay is very fair. I still make my money by exploring plexes though because tbh nothing you are going to do in the game is going to give that level of pay for the low risk.
