[EVE] A bundle of sticks wordfilters to silly goose

Well aware of how 0.0 works Sarksus, was at it for some time, hehe.
Also we offer free hauling to goonspace, contract it over and it'll be there before you are.
I accept all fees
But that's cool, will solve a lot of possible problems...
he does need a mentor to get retrained though
Good, that gives me something to do when I get bored ratting.
Killing people.
I did mention I only play Eve for the pvp right?
In alliance warfare, yes, they're just about pointless. Back in the day (2007-ish) when empire corps still fought wars with each other to drive people off from good mining, stealths were great for driving off faction-fit mercenary battleships.
um yeah .......... in english that would be???
One of our Fleet Commanders (I think, basically guy leading a Fleet) used 7 Stealth Bombers to kill a tightly packed cluster of 30 Battle Ships that were trying to take down a jammer (a point of strategic interest).
Not empty quoting.

This is pretty much the only practical use for SB's right now. Also, it's not just 7, it's 15-20, coming in waves of about 7. This is extremely difficult to organize and time it correctly. It is run by an FC who is extremely pro using hand-picked pilots who actually listen to orders and know wtf they're doing. Less than 5% of the entire population of Eve can actually accomplish this. Also, it stops working when the BS blob brings inties or HAC's, or.. just spreads out a little.

applies only to mission reward and bounties. That comprises probably less than half of what a mission runner makes in isk. No mission runner will leave the protection of an NPC corp over just that, but it will slow down the rate that new isk enters the game.
I thought he was trolling, is that true? The tears from the pubbies will be comedy gold. For comparison, Mrchi has a 7.5% tax rate.

It's a good idea if true, they've really needed to address the inflation of game funds for awhile now, and anything that forces people out of npc corporations can only be good for the game.
Oh well. You learn by making mistakes. That was a big-ass one.

I'm just waiting for the fix that forces the macrominer hulk pilots to leave Perkone so I can shoot them.
Oh come one, you can rat with implants anyday. I have some cheapo combat implants in with some +4s all the time while ratting in c3n and it's neighbors. Just run away when reds show up, easy. How did you get bubbled, axactly?
well lets count the ways; interdictors, heavy interdictors, anchorable bubbles.
I dont know what it was. I died quickly, a victim of being AFK for a minute, seeing the red name in system, immediately starting to warp and then he popped into my belt and my warp was scrambled by a big giant bubble of blue sparks. Certainly learned my lesson about being AFK in 0.0 though.

One had his old corp mates exclaim their dismay at seeing him 'go goon'.
And as for the ratting death, you can never go afk in 0.0, unless you're in a POS. And even then it can be risky if you're in something expensive enough to risk bumping.
A tip I've picked up from runnign exploration complex is that they make for great safespots - and even better, you can get around bubbles. I've had the occasional exploratino complex show up 'behind' a gate, relative to the star. If you can manage to get to the side of the gate, you can warp behind it, then back to the gate, neatly avoiding bubblecamps.
My only concern is that i've put a decent amount of time into my character, but I don't know if i'm very happy with it, and I'm wondering if it would be a better idea to simply start over, or if it would be better to try and fix my old character.
I think my first character focused more on getting big ships as soon as possible but aside from killing missions didn't have much in the way of ability to make ISK. I was thinking the second time around it might be smarter to try and focus on trading and shipping instead of combat, but i've been out of the loop for awhile and have no idea what i should do to get back into the game.
Any suggestions?

I love making SS's about 4K below gates. Takes care of pesky bubbles and the angle of warp bypasses any catch bubbles.
As for the POS. I heard a story relayed to me the other night about a "friend" who found a Thanatos with its nose poking out of a bubble, and off it went with "friend". In other words..unless you are in a dockable station, don't go AFK.
Do you want PVP? Or do you want the relative safety of Empire? I mean, you can use your current combat skills for missioning/ratting while training industrial/trading skills on him/her. No need to start over. That's the beauty of Eve, almost no matter how bad you feel you screwed your character up - you can fix it.
I'd like to try my hand at mining/trading perhaps I don't want to stay in complete safety but I want to be smart about going into dangerous areas.

Hah, epic. My corp has a 25% tax rate :rotate:
I started running L2 missions last night. Fun times. Is the reward / difficulty jump between L2 and L3 the same as it was between L1 and L2?
Either use that char and take advantage of the Power of Two promotion (new second account, 6 months, 50/60 dollars? I forget), or just come to 0.0. All those SP won't go to waste.
L3's are super easy if you do them in a Drake. Stack it with LSE's, hardeners and Core Defense Field Purgers in the lows. You're passive recharger will easily outpace L3 DPS.

I didn't even change hardeners out, no need. It will passive regen 315+ DPS depending on the incoming damage type, and is basically unkillable in L3's.
