I assume you can use the instas as autopilot waypoints?

Nope, Unfortunatly, and as far as I know, you have to select easy one and warp to it one after the other. Its no big hassle though, as you will be lightening fast in instas anyway :)

The devs are keen to remove instas from the game, due to the server load, i.e having to store the bm's, some people have the whole of empire in gate to gate bm's. Also there is the idea that you are invinsible with instas in that you can run gate camps no problem. As you can imagine this has caused a bit of a stir on the eve-o forums :p

Instas certainly help, but theres still a few seconds that you are vulnerable to fire. Also doesnt help when you've just insta'd to a gate where an enemy fleet is waiting (yes that happened to me, "just go check that gate out will you mate?).

Lost Corpse, try 425mm rails with iron charges

Well, actually t2 425mm rails with [in my case] lead charges will hurt at 130km ;)

/edit - But you won't find me sitting on gates ganking passersby generally. That's for the idiots who live in 0.1-0.4 systems because they're actually scared of venturing into 0.0

Didn't it occur to you to warp in at 80~100km, then warp back when you saw it was clear / dangerous?
 
I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who have provided answers to the questions I've posted. My Thorax is now a level 2 mission slaughtering, and (mostly) lean, (sometimes) clean, Killing (and warping the hell out of Dodge) machine on level 3 missions.

A special thank you to Antecer, who's explaination of making Insta bookmarks has transformed my game :) One question - my analy setup insta's drop me to within 20M of my target, do I actually need to be that close for gate use?
 
Decided to go for the incursus in the end. Only to find I have to train to frigate level 3 to do it! I'm doing that now but it's going to take a day because my perception is so low(3). And I'm going on holiday for the weekend so ill have to wait til i get back to use the ship! Back up to 300000 now after buying my ship by doing agent missions, i know its peanuts to you guys but it still feels nice :)

If your perception is that low you should really invest a month or so in learning skills, it sucks training them but it really will let you get more skills a damn lot quicker in the long run. Perception is an extremely important attribute if you want to fight. I started a second account about a month ago, an he has probably undocked maybe 5 times as i have him hammering the learning skills. i hesitated on the learning skills when i first started and a corpmate who didnt surpassed my sp within a month, so i dedicated some time to them and now im approximately 500k sp ahead of him and we started during the same week.

Like the time you ran out of instas and lost (another) Domi? :p
Click to expand...

Yeah.. like that time when I decided it would be an act of genious to warp to the stargate at 15km, instead of safespotting and avoiding the people who were chasing me.

As I said before, I learn hard, not fast :D

Your war dec came at a bad time, not for us though. It was the only war dec ASCN had at that time, so those that were bored were flying out to see what they could find. There was a lot of moaning about the fact that all they ever seemed to see of Burneden was your members safespotting, but giving you were outnumbered its hardly surprising. They were hoping for at least some creativity though, and some decent fighting.
I hate to sound too critical, but a small corp like yours attacking a huge alliance like ASCN wasn't a particularly smart idea. It should have been fairly obvious that you were likely to be outblobbed. If you weren't prepared to take on that kind of a situation (safespotting any time you see a big blob isn't taking the situation on), you shouldn't have declared war.
Oh .. and 18 ships? Thats a rather small fleet, you must have only been facing one of the minor wings :confused:

It wasnt the fact that we were outblobbed, it was the fact that the blob would just sit at a safespot waiting for a covert ops to get a spot on top of us. There is absolutly nothing we could do except warp out ourselves and get labeled cowards for not fighting 3 v 20 or whatever. We have faught against lage blobs before.

We faught JQA, FA, FIX, SE, Imperium, FE, FOE, FSA, IRON and PA blobs always massively outnumbered and we have beat them all. Most memorable was vs SE. 6 Burn Eden vs 60 SE. After loosing 12 ships they ran to empire to "deal with celes".

Anyway, I have no doubt that the majority of people who play this game are scared of us. If we can get a fight where we are not outnumbered 2v1 thats a miracle.

Whatever anyone says about our setups, tactics or attitude - IT WORKS. Nobody other corp even comes close. We don't have many members (4-6 active), yet kill more than most of the major pvp corps out there with hundreds of members.

The problem thesedays with ASCN and Fix is that they are both so desperate not to loose ships that they will not commit to a fight unless they have absolute numerical superiority and brute force. How can you fight somone who sits in a safespot waiting for a cov ops to warp in on top of you?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? Park my character in a station somewhere and keep them learning skills? I don't think i understand probperly because that seems to be what i'm doing now but moving at the same time?

I also can't find a learning skill anywhere in my character profile? Is it there with electronics and the others?

There is a category of skills called "Learning", the skills within this category all increase your rate of skill training, thus reducing the overall learning time :)

The skill called "Learning", when trained to level 5, adds 1 intelligence and 1 memory attribute. Then there are the attribute specific skills which increase the relevant attribute by 1 per level, with advanced learning skills adding another 1 per level after you have those to level 5.

The Charisma related skills you will not need to worry about as Charisma does not have a very big influence on the world of eve at the moment :)
 
Ah i see thats why i couldnt find it then! Because its not there lol. Thanks for the replied though guys. Bit annoying about charisma though, mine is 11! Or is it only the skills that are useless?
 
Basicly every single skill in the game is affected by two attributes from (Memory, Inteligence, Willpower, Charisma and Willpower) the primary effects the time it takes to learn the skill by quite a bit, the secondary has less effect but still some effect.

There are currently very few skills in the game that use Charisma as the secondary, let alone primary, attribute. However there are skills that Charisma is important on f.ex the social skills for Agent Runners (primary), Corporation Management, Trade, Leadership (Secondary)

Take a look over here for the data about skills. Also take a look here for a really good guide on Learning Skills and Attributes.
