EVE Online: A study in internet spaceships and bad posts

Charles Kinbote

I like reading about EVE

I also like playing EVE, but I've only played it for two weeks or so at a time, and every time I play it it's sort of a sense of "gosh this could be really fun if I got really into it and spent a lot of time on it," which, eh

reading about all the nutty shit you Spacecats get up to is good enough for me

Ha exactly. Except I never played it.

You can watch us scream as we are crushed under the weight of 250 Russian supercaps.

Jasconius

The Russians only have ONE weakness.

Mmm, yeah, see, doing stuff like destroying servers and wanting someone's address so they could cut power to the house while that person is logged in with their titan, seems a bit too drastic for internet spaceships.

Muggins

Who said anything about cutting power

and also the russians did it they're fucking crazy

Baidol

It is pretty funny seeing how the sovereignty map has changed over the past year or so.

Edit: Why the fuck does everyone disable embedding?

PiptheFair

oh hey jump bridge nerf

eat a billion dicks ccp

Jasconius

for ratting is it more important to have T2 missiles, or T2 shield tanking?

101

So has one faction ever controlled the whole map before?

Muggins

ahahaha no


also tpip isn't the nerf just not being able to have 2 jbs in a system

Baidol

The nerf is that you cannot have contiguous jb networks like we have now.

Now: System A -> jb -> System B -> jb -> System C

New system: System A -> jb -> System B -> gate -> System D -> jb -> System D

Muggins

Oh whaaaaaaat that's stupid and like defeats the entire point of jbs

Der Waffle Mous

Err, how is that different from what you said?



Edit now I've read baidol's example and I'm even more confused n

It is the same thing Veretas said, I'm just being more specific.

Which may not be the same as being more clear.

PiptheFair

you can only have a single jump bridge in any given system

inadvertently making sabers even more broken than they already are

do not do this

I will spare you a bunch of :words: and tell you that it is completely crowded already, and you will likely make shitty income, not to mention that it takes a long ass time to get halfway good at it

Son of a bitch.

The Drake training is still a good idea, though, right? I guess look in to ratting instead?

Should I be packing up for MZ1E station?

drakes are great and ratting is the most consistent form of income

also head to mz1e immediately

I knew I'd get it eventually.

that op tonight was a good opportunity for me to learn what the fuck (my first op)

was pretty damn confused at first and was asking a lot of questions in fleet chat, but I feel like a have a decent grasp of the basics of working in a fleet

ukiyo e

My Sin and my Redeemer are actually going to get some use now. My third account should be able to light covert cynos right around the time that the jump bridge nerf kicks in. Camping gates the easy way.

I was afraid we'd have to actually play EVE instead of make bad posts

At the midpoint of the great war our enemy controlled this:

That's the empire BoB carved out during the first half of the Great War. The second half didn't treat it well, and no one has controlled that much space since.

Charles Kinbote

so as someone who doesn't know junk about EVE

how the heck could they have defended that?

I mean, so much of that borders empire space, it seems like it would have been real easy to just plow into an undefended part and start wrecking shit

TheLawinator

Spies.

So why are they nerfing space teleport?

Charles Kinbote

becos regular teleport wasn't viable enough
