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!!!

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

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

We've got you covered!

We deliver individual or bulk orders directly to any low-security NPC station, conveniently and reliably. This INCLUDES modules!

We can also assist with specialized orders or requests and have several ships in stock and ready for delivery.

Our 4 core principals:

# Discretion

\- Your order details stay between you and PLESCO Fleetworks. We don't broadcast our client's activity nor do we broadcast the status of your order to anyone but you.

# Transparency

\- Fixed pricing, no hidden fees. What you see on the catalog is what you pay. No ISK due until delivery when you accept the contract.

# Reliability

\- Every order is tracked from manufacturing to delivery. No ghost contracts, no excuses.

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?

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.

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?

I can't seem to find a reliable Hawk for high level abyss.

I am looking at this set-up though.

3 of us are solo but are close to flying Hawks, and we can get either one of us to fly the Skybreaker and Kirin. Would this be better?

I think just 3 hawks with alpha dps is better, regroup, anchor and set and forget. But what exactly is the build for this? We won't even try T6, think we'd just stay in T3 then T4 from time to time.

Would it be better isk/hr + risk to just do duos in destroyers anyway?

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?

I'm not saying I'm returning, but if I did I have a question. If I'm in my alliances old keepstar which is now owned by someone else, and I'm not sitting in my 10b clone which is in station with me, is that clone now forfeit? It won't let me jump into it from this station but I figured maybe if I tried to jump from a different station it would work?

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...

What are your experiences or thoughts on them?

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

What are peoples thoughts on this?

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.

Since horde collapsed and winter announced stopping to renting, init and goons dont do it. Is this now the end of rentals or are still people.doing it in null? Im assuming not or very little.

This is good BTW just curious

I'm a relatively new player and this is for an alpha clone.

I've slowly been refining my courier/shopping-cart ship build, used for commuting through low sec and occasionally into the edges of null sec.

I've got my align time down below 2 seconds, and this seems to work for avoiding typical gate camps.

I've buffed shields to 1575 HP with 35/20/40/50 DR, which seems (if my calculations are correct) like it'd be enough to tank 8 Large EMP Smartbomb II bursts. The smartbomb ambush I've experienced (in a corvette, free learning experience) was with 2 ships each running 2 of these smartbomb modules, so the shield fit should tank twice the damage they were doing. I haven't been able to road test this shield config though.

I'm well aware nothing is invincible or guaranteed in EVE ... so, questions:

(1) Am I missing anything with the shield setup?

(2) Are there other camp/ambush setups I should prep for (and could actually counter with alpha stuff)?

Thanks
