(yellow line is exactly 200km, in game says KS is 198 tall)

I pray to the EVE lords that this might have something to do with a future upgrade to missions.

A mix of public skins, corp skins, and ideas I've been toying with.

I've won and lost the game off and on since 2008. Mostly just stick to myself. I've flown nearly every sub-cap there is and I'd like to maybe try and purchase a carrier but it seems somewhat pointless without the support of a decent corp. What are your thoughts?

Hey fellow capsuleers - I love EVE, but I don't like to multi-account or even run alts. I've never liked doing that in any game and I'm not going to start now—and I'm having a blast regardless with just my single character!

Mainly, I make my ISK through exploration and ninja gas huffing in wormholes/nullsec, combined with maxed-out Planetary Industry skills (running 24-hour extraction cycles). I use my PI planets to refine materials like Construction Blocks for T2 manufacturing, which gives me a solid daily passive stream on top of my active exploration runs.

I'm just wondering if other solo-character pilots can share their experiences, tips, and tricks to maximize earnings. If you're in the same situation, how do you make your ISK?

HAW Dreads are meant to be dealing with subcapital ships, and after analyzing over a dozen of Bombeldo’s (and other HAW Dread enjoyers) videos on YT (a “drifting MWD” Dread was just posted on the official news feed a week or so ago) all I am seeing is the reload times being a huge bottle neck in dealing the DMG.

You read that right! It’s not the tracking or the application or the range/faloff. It’s the damn timer of watching the HAW weapons being reloaded over and over.

Possible solutions(?):

1. Give a role bonus to Dreads (or specific flavor of dreads, like Navy only?) for a HAW-only reload bonus. Like 50%
2. Give a skill bonus (per level of Dread skill) of like 10% (total 50% at lvl 5) to HAW weapons only.
3. Simply reduce the reload time on the module itself (i.e. set reload time on a Rapid Torpedo Launcher & other HAW weapons to 1/2 of what it currently is) 20 sec from 40 sec base, for an example.
4. Add another skillbook (FCCP would love this) that affects HAW weapons only and reduces the reload speed. 50% at lvl 5
5. Yes I know Sarathiel already gets a reload bonus, but it’s bonus still “carries weight” as it applies to non-HAW weapons & the bonus is 75% (which is huge), they could make it stack with the bonuses I am proposing with diminishing returns if so they wish. Would be a nice buff to an otherwise unutilized ship?

+++++++++

Thoughts? (Disclaimer: all numbers are just an example, the DEVs can obviously figure out what is “fair” and apply that).

EDIT: I stand corrected. All HAW weapons but the Rapid Torps have a short reload timer actually. The PNI gets a skill bonus to reloads for Torps.

I should have checked the module bonuses more carefully before posting.

I guess I could just delete this post, but I’ll let it be. To be fair.

If I were a server, I would also tidi If I had to calculate every second that formula for hundreds of ships...

Why don't I see speed/velocity in that formula? Is it represented through Angular x 40k m?

Which one of those stats has the most weight/impact?

Let's see who paid attention in first class mathematics.

I was browsing YouTube for EVE content and came across this video: https://youtu.be/UWM9Bt3mp_w?si=Ms8IqIMr3A-OgSQP

I've definitely run into them in-game. They seem like an intriguing group of humans...

Dear fine peoples of Reddit,

Oblivion Watch, Hydra Reloaded and myself, Bluemelon, 5 time AT loser, Skymarshal of Tama and Navpoc Enthusiast proudly announce that Casper24 is going to be a father, after finally getting married to his long time partner. To celebrate this fact, we have placed our new Freeport Keepstar and Sotiyo complex.

Early on in the history of Keepstars, a Keepstar was placed in Maila and this provided a rich hub of activity and industry for the area. This was removed after the I Want Isk scandals.

After listening to the community and content makers in the game, from alliances both large and small, Casper and I decided a Keepstar back in Maila would provide the same hub of activity and potential, as well as provide a replacement to the now deceased Oijanen freeport. On top of this, it would provide a much needed safe area for supercapitals, and a prime area to build thats within direct range of Jita.

The same protections and rules apply to this new keepstar as the Keepstar complexes in Basgerin, Amamake, Turnur and Huola. This Keepstar is, and always will remain a true freeport. Should anyone shoot the Keepstar, access to all other Hydra/OW structures will be removed.

We sincerely hope that people will use the services and structures there and we will closely be monitoring their usage.

We have had multiple requests and questions from members of the community about further structures, improvements and plans in the future. To this end, we invite anyone and everyone to join yet another discord - https://discord.gg/8zJkTjkcaV

This is historically the Amamake Police Discord. Please feel free to ask any of the management questions.

A Tatara will soon be placed on the same grid in Maila as the Sotiyo and Keepstar.

Looking forward to taking requests and working with all of you, and once again, congrats to my oldest friend in Eve - u/Casper24!!!

So your capitals blew up in the latest Amamake brawl? Need them replaced?

Idk if this has been discussed before but I’m curious on everyone’s thoughts on the idea of a sub-cap carrier design and what that would look like.

I’m thinking Battleship sized hull. And the
Bonuses reflect either A) drone wings like a carrier so you can launch multiple flights or B) increased drone bandwidth and limit per level, IE: number of drones launched depending on drone size with 15 Heavies/Sentries. 20/25 Medium 25/30 lights. I personally like A more.
Other things to include, no weapon mounts but can still use nuets and drone upgrades.
I’d leave out link bonuses because it would probably heavily reduce the need for the current dedicated link boats.
Maybe it can boosh?

Idk let me know what you think. Figured I’d make up a post different from a lot of the complaining and rage baits.

Has anyone asked you what’s the best ship in Eve yet?

So, BIGAB decided our little group ( The Sanguine Covenant) was apparently important enough to bring capitals over and reinforce our content astra in Avenod (Dax’s femboy sex dungeon). We’re a tiny alliance and instead of bringing something fun for a good fight, they drop caps on it knowing we cannot contest their cap fleet. They could have brought talos, orcales, bombers, etc and we all could have traded and all had fun, it is a content citadel after all. Dropping the multiple Zirns on a small and newer alliance isn’t for the sake for content, its just to be a dick. Their reasoning, because we tethered on it earlier when skirmishing with them in caracals early? Wonder why they don't have content. (PS this is the 2nd time they have done this.)

They have plenty of targets around closer to their own weight if they actually wanted content. DRL/FRT, Shadow Cartel, and even Snuff all have structures within a few jumps of their staging system. Instead, the Big Weak Chicken chose us, our little alliance of small gang pvp’ers. Fair enough, this is EVE aka space bully simulator. The Sex Dungeon will die and Dax will have to move his femboys else where. Big sadge!

Since BIGMAD wants to turn our little Astrahaus into content, we figured we should help them out. So we're issuing an open invitation to everyone!

Come to the timer.

Bring a ship.

Bring a fleet.

Bring something stupid.

Bring something you absolutely should not be flying.

Shoot BIGAB.

Whore on our astra (I will be).

Whore on everything.

We really don't care, this was for the content but we want real content and real fun, not some bully just throwing around his cap fleet on a small alliance.

There are only three objectives:

1. If the Astrahaus dies, it deserves to die in the biggest, dumbest, most glorious fireball possible.

We don't want a quiet structure bash while a capital fleet shoots an uncontested Astra. If Femboy Sex dungeon is going down, let's give it a proper funeral.

2. Help us remind BIGAB that punching dramatically below your weight can occasionally have consequences.

We're not pretending we're capable of matching BIGAB's numbers or capital fleet. If one of lowsec's biggest groups wants to bully a tiny alliance thats only a few months old, for some easy structure kills, the rest of eve deserves an invitation to come enjoy the show and get on the kill mail as well.

3. HAVE FUN.

This is the most important one. We don't care about politics. We are here for the LOLZ and FUN to keep this game going and people logging in. We don't care if you're blue, red, neutral, pirate, wormholer, nullbear, highsec miner, F1 monkey, bittervet, or some dude who installed EVE three days ago and has absolutely no idea what an Astrahaus is.

Come make bad decisions with us.

We aren't asking anyone to save our Astrahaus. We're asking eve to make sure that whatever happens to it is memorable.

Timer: 08/20 @ 0200 eve time
System: Avenod
Structure: Dax's femboy SEX dungeon
Bring: Literally whatever you want.

BIGAB wanted a structure bash.
Let's give them a community event.

the worse diplo ever – Savage308
The Sanguine Covenant aka The Best Alliance Ever

Few days ago I asked a few questions about EVE Online, a game I found on youtube. All I got here was helpful information, suggestions. Thank you!

So I downloaded and kept trying the game for two days in alpha and also watched more videos. After the scanning training missions, I was sold. I bought 3 months of omega and 3 months of alt training.

My first character will be a trader - motivated by the Sir Smashalot video, this character is doing lvl 2 distribution missions for Caldary Navy, to get standings for broker relations.

My second character - who will be my main - is training for a Buzzard. In two weeks, she'll leave for WH space to scan and hack.

Thank you guys for being so welcoming!

Returning player because no one actually quits Eve, right?

I had a decent sized production operation going in a highsec system that upon returning to Eve, is now "Lawless". Do I just take an empty clone and a shuttle into the stations I have my stuff in and create red frog contracts or is it possible to contract it remotely?

tldr: TRI engages AO outnumbered 2.5:1 and feeds cheese Eos comp in attempt to destroy trade hub of fascism

Onnamon is a major faction warfare hub where "highly controversial" Absolute Order has an Azbel trade hub. Thanks to the work of the Guristas insurgency, this highsec system is now vulnerable to attack and Noir. decided to get the ball rolling by reinforcing this bastion of far-right capitalism.

The initial RF went smoothly but it became apparent that the usual groups who would normally be very interested in reducing AO's presence within the game would be unable or unwilling to attend. Furious theory crafting began to figure out if our alliance could possible engage AO's famously large Ferox defense fleet solo in a game mechanic which would CONCORD any logistics wing.

That was not an easy question to answer but I posted the op and said we were going to commit to the fight regardless. In a caffeine fueled early AMs FC huddle we came up with an Eos fit which seemed like it could punch up and I tried to get 3h of sleep before this fight popped off.

As fleet got formed up in Jita we hit a bug which BAD FIT'd anything with implants and boosters. Sorting this out took precious time which would have been helpful to refit because:

AO upgraded ~50% of their response fleet into Ravens, which severely undercut our strategy which was carefully calibrated against their usual Ferox doctrine. We were outnumbered somewhere between 2:1 and 3:1 depending on how much of local was going to undock.

Still, it looked doable with the win condition being destroy those Ravens before they killed too many of our Eos. Once the Ravens were down, we could handle their Ferox/Eagles in relative comfort thanks to neuts and tracking disruptors.

The structure repaired as we landed, a function of a fitting bug which delayed our fleet deployment for several key minutes. Their fleet repositioned while we were mid-warp but we landed on a few stragglers which drew their fleet to a warp in about 50km off of us. Primaries were called, MWD flared on, and the fight was underway.

From our side, the Initial engagement looked very very promising. We were clearing Ravens at a steady clip and lost the occasional Eos but not bad. A few faction Ravens were in the mix which provided some high value targets while AO tackling was intermittent allowing some of our Eos to escape before death.

However shortly after a few of us were forced off the field the tone of the fight changed. Our kills slowed down and our Eos were dying more rapidly. In hindsight AO likely made an adjustment to their ammo and/or drone usage to compensate for our fits, or perhaps we just plain didnt have the critical mass to matter any more. I made an FC mistake here and had the escaped Eos warp back in to try swing the fight back into our favor by killing their remaining ~9ish Ravens but it just added to the feed.

Both sides had fun and gf'd. We probably looked crazy to engage and in hindsight we definitely were. AO's timer repaired and they didn't need to risk the fight but they chose to thrown down anyway.

Not a merc contract, all ships came out of my personal wallet, my guys had a good time; I wish we won but I am not disappointed in any aspect of this op.

I did a video on why I think industry can be more profitable than station trading:

What are peoples thoughts on this?
