Common term for that is "resident" if you're being nice or "pet"/"slave" if you're not, and it generally gets you lumped in with the claiming corp politically
Goons following BoB policy for mega-pewpew? \m/ :twisted: \m/
I'm down for that.
What's BoB got to do with it? :P Most 0.0 alliances have residents, unless they're really hardcore carebears...
Thought the Eve sigs were pretty, did my best to replicate a similar style during the downtime. Any suggestions/changes?
Also, can anyone sum up major events in the ASCN / BoB war? I was actually kind of interested in it before I left. I think at that point it was still really early, and ASCN had gained first ground basically through mass numbers/ships. By a brief glance of things it now looks like BoB winning is a foregone conclusion?
Also Szechuanosaurus: (whoa) I know what you mean exactly, I was figuring if you were afk hauling, then your time away from the keyboard is worth 0 so you'll be making more out of your mods for nothing. Of course this doesn't work with low sec space. But for a high sec guy with some time to spare it could make the guy extra isk.. after 10 or so trips it'll add up I suppose.
Granted, to put things in perspective I'm flying a Ferox BC which, along with it's fittings is probably worth around 40Mil so newbs wouldn't be able to make that much cash that quickly. I suppose if you are AFK then you might as well haul your loot to Jita to flog it.
I'd say you should only need to do that maybe once though because once you have one or two million, you're probably better off investing in a small industrial ship and AFK hauling tradeable goods in bulk if you want to make money AFK (or AFK mining in high-sec, but I'm not convinced as to the marginal profits from such a venture). Problem with that is, you need the capital to get started buying up bulk trade goods at a cheap price, so ratting for a bit then flogging your loot in Jita might be a viable way to go about getting the start-up capital.
I have a question, why is the middle of the map unclaimed (I am not a player yet.) Is no alliance capable of taming it, or is not open or something?
That's Empire space, it's run by the NPC empires (Amarr, Minmatar, Caldari, Gallente) and as such it's pointless trying to claim it as you can't shoot people there without a wardec

It's theoretically impossible to beat the NPC governments, although I think some dudes once held off some CONCORD ships at a high sec gate once via an exploit. But yeah, by and large no matter how big your ship if you start firing at anyone in high security space then you get ganked pretty quickly so an assault on one of the big governments is impossible and even if you did succeed it would be deemed an exploit and you'd immediately loose any ground you'd gained.

That was in the m00 days. Basically CONCORD was destroyable and you didn't flag as a criminal for using support mods on someone else, so they just ubertanked someone and popped everyone coming into the system including CONCORD.
BUT! You can attack and destroy the Empire faction NPCs orbiting the gates, and CONCORD won't respond. They hit hard, but they can be beaten. No idea if they drop good loot
Trial account user here with a question.
On a trial account you cant transfer money from one character to another.
I wanted to switch to a new main char and send all the money from my old one to him. I thought if i cant send it maybe i can get the money over there through the marketplace.
My new main then offered to sell a drone for 15mil isk and my old main was suposed to buy said drone.
Now the thing is the money never arrived at my new char but rather went to a char named Issy Tripline. Anyone here that can explain to me what happened?

That sounds... odd. Could you possibly post a screen shot of your transactions screen and your journal screen?
The tier 2 battlecruisers are pretty good at taking out battleship rat spawns.
Especially the drake.
seriously, i only have average missile skills (Heavy at 4, Bombardment at 4, Precision and Prediction at 3, and none of the other supplementaries), and 7 launchers firing Scourge annihiliate mission BCs, so i figure NPC BSs shouldn't be much more work, especially with some bolstered skills.
I don't think that setup would have as easy of a time against angel rats.
If you wanted to try it though, angels do Exp/Kin/Therm damage, so you'd have to be untanked against one of the damage types. Then you'd just use explosive missiles instead of scourge. Might be able to take on some of the lower spawns.
So I've been wondering this for a few days, and after getting my myrm popped yesterday by an LV camp I can't help but wonder: Could an Enyo or Ishkur rat reasonably well out in Scalding Pass?
I'm thinking the small sig might save it from the torp volleys that were such a pain to deal with in the myrm, and with T2 blasters/drones my dmg should be enough to break their tanks.
...Or should I just fly the space whale up and nos the world to a slow, boring death?
Cruisers/frigates aren't a good idea for ratting in the south. The battleships aren't a problem, you can out-transverse their guns and are small enough to not get hurt by torps, but cruisers and frigates, with their smaller missiles, can really hurt you bad. Stick with space whales/train ravens lawl.
I'm starting to think this is some sort of security device.
This is the german client btw
I know exactly what happened here.
Whenever you buy something off the market, it will always buy the cheapest one inside the criteria, no matter which one you selected to buy, so if there's two warrior I's for sale in a station, one for 25,000 isk and one for 13,500,000 isk. You'll buy the first one, even if you pay 13.5 million for it, even if you select the second sell order and buy from it. Sucks man, but there's nothing you can do about it except evemail the guy who you accidentally bought it from and see if he'll give it back.

AFs are pretty good for ratting provided you can do the right damage types. Lasers vs Guristas is pretty much pointless, whereas lasers vs drones is killy-killy death-death. If you can tank properly and field the right kind of damage they're very effective ratting ships - they'll chew through frigs and cruisers without trying, and transversal means BS rarely actually hit them. Ishkur would probably be ideal as it can pick damage types.

If you buy an item on the market, you always get the lowest priced one available. In this case, it may be that Issy Tripline was selling a drone of the same type for 10k, and when you bought one for 15mil you got one of the ones Issy Tripline was selling. It's not a bug, it's intentional to keep people from using market orders for money laundering.
incidently, I don't think Issy got all 15 mil, only 10k.

He probably got all 15mil. Basically a purchase is setting up a one-shot buy order for that price. That buy order gets filled by the lowest cost sell order at that station. I put up a lot of sell orders in a merchant hub and will occasionally get sales that are at prices that I undercut, eg a sell order for 10 mil will occasionally show up as 12 mil in my transaction log.
You can transfer money this way, but you have to make sure you go to a station where no one else is selling the item you want to buy.

It won't - it'll just end up in a dead Caracal. You're not going to want to rat in the south with anything less than a BC (and preferably a BS). Also, if you're not familiar with what damage to do against what kind of rat and what damage they dish out, http://npc.elfarto.com/ is a good site which works in the in-game browser.

That would explain why the sell order was still active even after my purchase.
Man I ratted my ass off in a frig for that kind of money. Well I guess I'll have to delay my cruiser purchase for a week.

I've got a Nos Ishkur setup that was able to take on nice sized sansha spawns (Triple .95 Mill took awhile but was doable) and I can't make a dent in similar Angel ships. The good news is they can't hurt me either, I can tank them forever if I wanted to. I'm still using hammerheads and Hobgoblins though, so maybe a different drone and putting on a couple of turrets would let me break their tanks, but it still tanks long enough I'm gonna just stick to ratting with a partner.

Why are you ratting in a scorpion? I know it can be done, it's just not well suited for it to be honest. Raven's are ratting machines and it ought to pay for itself in a couple days of solid ratting (more or less depending on your available playtime and tolerance for the tedium of ratting).

I was kinda tempted when I saw Damnations and Sacrilage's are pretty damn cheap. I just don't want to spend two weeks training skills that I probably wouldn't use very often.
Cross training to Caldari from Amarr would be painful. I have no missile skills and no real shield tanking skills (not much point when I am not fitting a shield tank, the shield is just a small buffer).
I'm considering popping back for a month or so until BC hits for WoW. What's the situation for PA people now?
The Merch (the pirate one) has a few members, and MERCHI (the industrial one) is allied with GoonSwarm and living in both Hoshoun and Scalding Pass. Come back for a while, it's prime location for ratting and shooting people.
And maybe if you come back it'll convince Orikae to rejoin goonswarm while he's off.

It will require the missile skills(heavies+support) to 4[not a big deal], a few shield skills to 4(1 or two, not really sure you are going to passive tank anwyway)[also, not a big deal] and then caldari cruiser 3.

This man speaks the truth - using therm drones vs NPCs with 60+ therm resist = lose, particularly when you could be hitting them in their 40+ exp resists for little extra effort. Four Valk IIs should rip through most Angel BS without trying, and yes, T2 drones really are worth it. I have a ratting Apoc with a flight of Vespa IIs and vs Guristas the Vespas kill BS faster than six mega beams with multis.

I'm still using hammerheads and Hobgoblins though, so maybe a different drone and putting on a couple of turrets would let me break their tanks, but it still tanks long enough I'm gonna just stick to ratting with a partner.
Me and Tileal where doing that last night he would get agro with his AF and I would warp in after and rain cruise missles down on the Battleships (swapped them for Torpedos so it should go faster now) I will likely just rat with a partner , not sure how well my scorpions tank will hold vs torpedos'
Switch to drones that do explosive damage - I went from Ogres to Beserkers and it made a noticable difference.
ZOMG MAEK FALLOFF RIGS.
Seriously, think Malestrom, w/Fusion @ 30km falloff
That is because the Drake is a god-damn tanking machine. It has teir 1 battleship level shield HP and MORE shield regen[by about 25%]
I fly amarr and will probably move to a drake when i decide i really want to rat[its not exactly hard to train for, heavy missiles, a few passive shield tanking skills and im there]
Why are you ratting in a scorpion? I know it can be done, it's just not well suited for it to be honest. Raven's are ratting machines and it ought to pay for itself in a couple days of solid ratting (more or less depending on your available playtime and tolerance for the tedium of ratting).
I was kinda tempted when I saw Damnations and Sacrilage's are pretty damn cheap. I just don't want to spend two weeks training skills that I probably wouldn't use very often.
Cross training to Caldari from Amarr would be painful. I have no missile skills and no real shield tanking skills (not much point when I am not fitting a shield tank, the shield is just a small buffer).
The Merch (the pirate one) has a few members, and MERCHI (the industrial one) is allied with GoonSwarm and living in both Hoshoun and Scalding Pass. Come back for a while, it's prime location for ratting and shooting people.
And maybe if you come back it'll convince Orikae to rejoin goonswarm while he's off.
It will require the missile skills(heavies+support) to 4[not a big deal], a few shield skills to 4(1 or two, not really sure you are going to passive tank anwyway)[also, not a big deal] and then caldari cruiser 3.
1-2 weeks, tops.
I reckon I might. Didn't really get to use my Ferox a lot before I quit the last time.
This man speaks the truth - using therm drones vs NPCs with 60+ therm resist = lose, particularly when you could be hitting them in their 40+ exp resists for little extra effort. Four Valk IIs should rip through most Angel BS without trying, and yes, T2 drones really are worth it. I have a ratting Apoc with a flight of Vespa IIs and vs Guristas the Vespas kill BS faster than six mega beams with multis.
