I'm on my way back into EVE, gonna re-apply to Merchi tonight. except I dont remember where I parked and I'm pretty sure I don't know the way back home, is Merchi still living in Deklein?
Yes.

How would a cormorant fair at suicide ganking? I won 25 of em in an ER (eve radio) contest and now i'm trying to figure out something productive (destructive) with them.

Probably not so well - no damage bonus, only 1 low slot for damage mods makes me a sad suicidegankpanda
However... they'd be great for podkilling (4 mids for 1 long point and three sensor boosters)
They're apparently really nasty at sniping frigates from 90-100 km away in faction warfare. A little less useful in 0.0 though you could still sit on a gatecamp in one, particularly for podkilling as V1m mentions.
Or just sell them/melt them down for minerals/give them away to cute newbies.
Well yeah, but they're a T1 frigate, T1 ships are pretty much just cost-effective damage dealers with no other merits, not gonna top most other ships. You could do anti-support in a veefleet I suppose, don't know if 100 km is the range that tornadoes operate at.
Oh, and I doubt a blaster cormorant would be completely terrible at suicide ganking, but you'd be better selling off the cormorants and buying catalysts with the ISK if you went that way.

With the game soon going on 10 years old, it's amazing to me the proliferation of Cap/Supercap ships in EVE the last 2 years. I haven't played in a long time, but I've seen numbers thrown around like 450 Titans? 2000+ Supercaps or something? Yeesh.
On a sidenote to that: I'm really interested to see what will become of the Pathfinder MMO. If it actually gets to release, and if it delivers on an "EVE-like" ground experience. Ala Ultima Online 2.0 I guess...
(Since it apparently has old EVE devs working on it with Paizo)

CCP has actually done something finally about the overabundance of supercaps, and there is a hint of more on the way.

I'd love to get back into Eve but I just can't put up with how the game always ends up being a second job. All I really wanna do is fly around with like minded chilled out space vikings as we get into trouble raiding poor idiots out in nullsec, living in NPC stations and leaving the area only when we've managed to piss off everyone and drink all the beer. Fuck massive fleets and politics, I wanna be a small gang pirate.
I might get interested into EVE online, but I just would like to know, if you can do things like that in the game.
I don't enjoy grinding npcs or trading for hours, I can't find enough time to do all that, is EVE something for me?
They were trying to take a whole constellation of whs so they could farm without threats. Most of the major wormhole alliances banded together temporarily and counter-invaded during one of their invasions and wiped the floor with them. We are fully prepared for more evictions.
But, but, everyone knows nullsec is the only real PVP, so Wormhole pilots are just scrubs who should head back to highsec, right? Right?! WHS alliances beating back a Nullsec alliance? UMPOSSIBLE!
B_R: I could send you a 3 week free trial if you want. Drop me a PM with your email address. Without getting into MerchI you wouldn't get the "full EVE" experience (and the highsec area PVP experience is PVE heavy), but... yeah...
As for doing stuff in game without having to worry about PVE content, well, EVE is freaking huge and sandboxy, and most people in Goonswarm, to my knowledge, don't do PVE much. However, it does take a while to get to the point where you can get Goonswarm to pay for your ships that you lose in PVP, so... I guess all I can say is "maybe."

Nah. If you are willing to die in a fleet, someone will give you a ship to do it in.

There's no reason not to join Merchi as a new pilot unless you just don't want to do the Nullsec warfare thing, or you dislike goons (which I can understand).
And I'm pretty sure you can be in a newbee blackbird in a couple weeks and then die and make 12m per death. The first few days do kinda suck though, since you can't really do much as you train a few vital skills. That's a good time to do the tutorials.
I will say that as a newbie you'll be somewhat reliant on others in goonspace for a month or so, simply due to the skill requirements to either fly a drake or make all your money off PI, so hopefully you like flying rifters / thrashers.
I was actually commenting on his low post count, although 1000 isn't really low. I'm just jaded cause I am about to break the scientific notation barrier.

If we made people have >1k posts to join merchi, we'd have about 6 dudes in the corp.

Seems a bit unwise to piss off a horde of people with astrometric rangefinding 5. There are a lot of ways that can go horribly, horribly wrong.
It's always funny when we find a WH to nullsec and go roaming. We know how to use dscan and combat probes very very very well, we use them every day. We WILL find your safes and you'll never even see the probes. Be very scared. That people in local thing throws us off a bit tho

What kind of silly goose sits uncloaked in a safespot with hostiles in system? And of those people, which ones are smart enough to watch their dscan for probes? Anyone with a brain (who isn't afk) will either dock, go to a POS, or cloak up.

One way or another, every fight that matters starts with a probe finding a target.

Naw we can park bait at a gate, let someone attack because adjacent systems/intel channels are clear, and then 20 people pour out of a wh in system and warp on top of you.
On the subject of combat probing, here is an ok guide. My process is a bit quicker, but it gives you an idea on how to combat scan someone in one scan. Then you take your probes off scan in case you need them again. Unless your target spams dscan in that 6-7 second window, they won't ever see it coming. This is probably more useful in whs since people don't often use dscan but still.

Just look at our killboard for lossmails.
The amount of people who do not read intel and do not scout is extraordinary.

No, I would imagine that sometimes someone does something provocatively retarded while they have a hostile cloaked on grid.
Nothing sweeter than being that hostile cloaked on grid.
