Be Excellent To Each Other

Look, see this?

It's me not resubbing.

Not until someone comes over and makes my computer work with router, anyway

That's so far away. Do I need to make my way there to join?

You'll have to get to the office to apply, yes.

And I'm sure it isn';t that far, I used to regularly roam 100+ jumps of an evening looking for something to kill.

Autopilot quickest was 19 jumps, many through <0.5 space. I'll have a look this evening about getting there safely. Saying that, I can't remember where that was from. I've made a new character now — perhaps I'm closer.

Don't be too afraid of low sec space, if you are in ahurry, take a shuttle, and warp to zero, it's almost unstopable.

Point noted — cheers. I'll see what I can do this evening, if I get chance to play.

My brain and face hurt from the utter lack of sleep I've had since I started this game. While on the train in today I was idling musing which skills to train up next and what I planned to do while others were learning.

It's running in the background of my work PC as we speak. I have my own office, remember

The server goes down at 12 and I have a skill due to finish at 12:03, which is fucking annoying, I'll have to switch to something else before the downtime.

And so it begins.

What's worse is that the skill is 'Learning', so if I just had 5 minutes more the skill I learn during the downtime would learn 2% faster. Gah.

If I do resub, i think I'll train AWU to lvl 5 before anything else. Or Amarr Battleship up to lvl 5, or gallente Battleship. I dunno. Hmm.

AWU?

Oh god, what have I got myself into?

Advanced weapon Upgrades, it lowers the powergrid or cpu requirement of guns so you can fit them easier.

Sounds great, I'm there, as soon as I learn mining and all kinds of other shit first.

yeah, I was trying to have really good support skills (I have the armor compensation skills up to lvl 5, all of them) and things so I could fly Amarr and Gallente ships well.

hm, 35USD for 60 days...

I went for a 3 month sub, that'll be long enough to see if I really fancy persisting

Retibutions are sexy. I like the Vengeance with ROCKET DEATH.

Why not? Helps with agents, surely?

IIRC, it helps with the 'social' skills, for agents, and also for the 'leadership' skills that you need for command ships, but isn't too bad if you have lots of points in it, sa it evens out over time.

I used Vengeance and find player in cruiser in belt and warp in and CHARGE ROCKET DEATH OF DOOM for about 40 minutes until they popped. Vengenace has stupid awesome tank on it for a frigate.

<thinks>

4x Rocket Launcher II
named MWD, 9km scram, web,
Small armor repperII, EaNMII, Damage control II and I think a 200mm plate.

Had acebest fight vs man in Stabber cruiser which was very fast, but i was able to mess up his orbit, fling him into webrange, and then rocket the fucker down. missed the pod though. I survived with 5% structure...

I got done over at gates a couple of times in an Iteron when I had first started.

When I went pirate, I didn;t really have too much trouble being jumped, as I was often the ones starting the fights, but at gates I was vulnerable, as I don't get sentry support and jumping into a massive pirate gate camp is often a pain.

Hevrice is a good system for jumping on people i belts.

I turned on the option in my character sheet that says 'Show skills I can train but haven't got'. That was really handy for discovering a load of skills I previously had no knowledge of, with nice and quick Level 1 and 2 attribute boosts.

There's the lowsec pipe, running from Mara down to and past gayar which I used to run about it. Pretty good for getting the unwary, and the not so unwary. Dead end sysytems are arwesome for kicking fuck out of a barge minig operation with escorts. Escorts rarely stand and fight so just target barge and escort, point the barge, and fire a coupla times at the escort and escort will run aways.

This is true.

OMM NO NOM Hurricane.

T2 fitted T1 hulls for low sec work.

Actually, thinking about it, it's probably best for newer players to have a look around at low sec before they get expensive clones/implants and ships, to see what it's about on the cheap.

Also, finding a quiet system to abse out of often does wonders.

Less talk, more play, twats.

They'll probably get podded some time down the line, hyeah, but best get it over with when t is cheapness, and it also is good trainig for being alert, watching local, scanner and what have you.

My overview settings are, and have always been, the default. I don't know what else to do with them.

Alliances are gay.

I had about 4 different setups.

One was 'Scanning' which was belts, planets and moons and ships and drones, 'travel' was gates and ships, 'PVP' was ships and drones.

So i'd use the travel one o go palces, then switch to 'scan' to find where someone was, then warp to where they were and flick it to PVP.

This way teh overview was never to cluttered so I ddin't misclick.

I also removed friendlies and gang members from overview.

Am I right in thinking you can have 3 different characters at once?

yes, but only one can train a skill at any one time.

I had :MaliA who was main pvp person
tsara who was corp CEO and in charge of cash and logistics and buying and selling and another who was buying and selling

Yes, but you can only train one.

I always had Stargates on that one too, in case I needed a warp destination quickly.

Refinement required, but aside from anything else I'm starting to feel quite ill. I don't know if its lack of sleep or an incumbent aids infection.

Heh, I used to, but then I was on an aggro timer by then, so sentry guns ate me a few times, so I removed it.
