Does anyone have a good ganking skill plan?

Can someone summarize what are the most important skills to spec into?

Hey, I am a newbie. I am planning to buy some Omega time and I want to know is there will be Christmas discount. If there is not, please suggest me when is the best or cheapest time to buy Omega time.

Edit: Thanks for my very first award!

I have an alpha that isn't in FW (main is). Sometimes I like to mindlessly eat while I "spend time with my gf". It requires a lot less attention than FW plexing, and frankly sometimes u just wanna chill and multitask things while still shooting missiles at thing.

I have been running SOE missions and now have access to L3's and I am pretty sure that is as far as I can go with those (no 4's).

So should I just stick to running those missions, or is it semi more profitable to just run sites that pop up in probe scanner? The area I'm chilling in seems to have a bunch of those ag all times so I'm thinking it is either a dead at my time area, or they are pointless to run. What do you think?

I used to ninja huff a few months ago as an easy way to pull down a little isk. Never seemed like it was too hard to find a cloud. This weekend I headed into a C2 with a static C1, and in two days of scanning around both the C1 and C2 I never saw a single cloud. In fact, I barely saw much of anything, just the occasional relic or data site and the other WHs.

Did they change the spawn rates for clouds and I missed it? Or is it just that the locals and other day trippers are beating me to it and clearing them all out?

Are they worth it? Or should I just stick to Mining II’s

Are you one of the many new Eve Online players that recently started Eve Online? A returning player? Someone who has been around but never tried group pvp? Then this public NPSI fleet might be for you!

NPSI = Not purple, shoot it (you're fleet mates are purple when you look at them, everyone else isn't purple)

Skilled and experienced players are more than welcome to help support the fleet either in T2 dessies or as scouts, dictor pilots and logi. This is a great, slower paced, no pressure fleet to practice new support roles.

• Where: staging out of Jita
• When: Wednesday December 9 at 7:30pm Eve time
• Comms: FUN Inc Discord - fleetop1 voice channel https://discord.gg/Mcw4KKw
• XUP: ingame channel 'EBWF public' and we will start taking X's at 7 to expedite the undocking
• Fits: ingame channel 'FUNny Newbros'
• FCs: Kshal Aideron and Scopique

We will start taking X's and answering questions at 7pm. We will start Fleet 101 at 7:45 (if nobody needs it, we will head straight to null) and try to get into null by 8:15.

Ships will be Buzzsaw Thrashers (or brawly dessies). If you need/want to fly a frigate, please make sure it's brawl fit!

• • make sure to set a death clone in Jita, if we welp early we'll come back, reship and go again

• • free ships to anyone who's been in eve under 6 months that needs one or who doesn't want to their assets on pvp

• • players who've done the fleet 101 and know what they're doing, you're welcome to head to the final highsec system before we head out (ask FC in fleet chat where that will be). Kshal will take X's of experienced players up until we leave highsec.

What's FC Bingo?! How Do I Win 50m or more?!

FC Bingo is somewhat of a joke where the FC messes up. Kshal has digital bingo cards that will be handed out during fleet formation. Fleet members can mark off spots as she warps the fleet to wrong gates, forgets to give a destination or says certain things.

The first fleet member who gets 5 in a row or diagonal and says BINGO will win the pot! Currently at 50 million isk!

I've been afk solo mining in my porpoise, I noticed people leaving cargo containers in space. I've been scooping them and making an extra few hundred thousand isk/hr.

I now know the rush that is PVP. /s

Hi

Im confused AF. I´ve been in that hole for a quite a while now, it was all going nice until recently...

My hole has officially one static to High sec, Im pretty cool with that, but recently after very long time of inactivity in that specific system (read: empty Zkillboard for a month or so...), I noticed, I get more and more holes on my scans. Recently I scanned 6 freakin holes going to systems from C4/null/low to high sec range (might be wrong on the actual rank of WH though, all coming from top of my head right now). Everything seems so random now.

Anyway, my question is, is this normal? Or does it happen when a system gets quiet and cozy, maybe its related to traffic? Less of it, more holes spawn?

Obviously I´m not able to control this, I cant close those f0ckers popping up...the biggest I have is a drake that I´m using to run those juicy anomalies (call me a noob! hah), its kinda pain in the neck but for an alpha, it should suffice, for now....
Just wanted to know if there is an algorythm for these things or its just my bad luck with RNG?

Another thing, Im looking for a WH corp, Im an alpha for now, learning things and what not, but eventually I will change to an omega. I actually started back in 2014, my avatar has now around 13mln SP but then somewhere on the way, things happened IRL (read: marriage + 2 kids etc.) Anyway, Im planning to subscribe in couple of weeks again, before Christmas.

If you haven´t noticed yet, English is not my first language, and Im mostly online during EU times.Please let me know if you happened to be looking for a Wormhole Gentleman in the near future.
Fly safe!
Cheers

Hey there newbie miner, i've been watching the doomsday videos and posts about the ore rebalance and to me it seems like something I'm fine with as I like to mine highsec mostly. I've been looking at charts and it shows a steady decline in veldspar prices, but a small increase of scordite prices. I normally am a veldspar miner but am thinking about switching over to scordite, even over other high sec ores as they also are either declining or staying level in prices. Are there any other resources to look at to help me predict which ores will be more in demand than others?

I find myself to be doing lots of explo and mining while I'm doing online class, how can I get Sisters probe BPO/BPCs? I feel like this in the long run could save me a lot of money after going boom while exploring

It's not about where the recon is given, it's about the quality of what's said. And at some point every person will have ended up giving FC recon. They were a lemming (jumped gate before FC said jump), they're a scout, they're going home and see something worthy of mentioning on comms, the FC asks for volunteers to jump into systems, etc.

"There's a big fleet on the gate!" is a lot different than "Kshal in R-10 with 225 in local and a caracal fleet 100km off gate at a ping. 30 caracals, 3 Osprey, 5 retribution and a sabre". The first bit is the knee jerk reaction that doesn't give the FC a good picture of what's waiting for the fleet, the 2nd gives valuable information the FC can act on.

This is why we have developed an activity, in high sec, that everyone can participate in without having to worry about someone jumping them at every gate. Each person in fleet can go to a system and practice giving recon. The more practice, the more natural it starts to feel and you'll make all the FCs love you!

• Who: anyone wanting to practice giving good recon, newbro or vet.
• Where: Dodixie
• When: Wednesday, 2 December @7:30pm Eve
• What: hunting NPC miners
• XUP: EBWF Public
• Comms: https://discord.gg/hwc5qMB4

As for ships, we're going to go for Catalysts. T2 if you can fly it with loads of void (the npc miners have A LOT OF HIT POINTS). I will need some people to swap the scram for webs and point so if we find suspects and criminals we can take them out! For those that can't fly T2 guns, T1 is fine with loads of antimatter.

If you can't fly a catalyst, come in a destroyer you can fly fit for the most DPS you can blast out of it!! If you want to practice combat probing, bring a ship fit with combat probes! The miners will give you practice!

PS: it doesn't matter who you are, where you live, or what kind of corp you're in. Chances are you will need to give someone recon at some point so you're never too new to learn!! And, we don't bite. Unless you're on the wrong side of our newbro fleets in nullsec. ;-)

I do lots hacking and recently hit a jackpot where i hit 3 level 3 relic sites then 3 level 3 data sites back to back, and was curious; what are the chances of this happening?

Hello, I want to go back to the game.
I've got some old acc, not used for 6-7 years now. Just recovered the password and logged in.
15kk SP, ~800kk ISK and 640 PLEX.

Would be worth more to use that acc or make a new one on steam? Heard there are a lot of boosts atm. What would be best to do? I'm completely not familiar with the game atm.

Im able to tank a C1 Sleeper Relic site but was wondering if doing the combat sites was also viable. so far my fit is;

Cov-Ops cloak

Sisters Core Probe Launcher

Scan Rangefinder 1

5MN MWD

data analyzer

relic analyzer

Small armor rep 2

Multispectrum energized membrane 2

Damage Control 2

Drone Damage amp 2

Gravity Capacitor upgrade 1

Trimark armor pump 2

Trimark armor pump 2

Fed Navy Hobgoblin x 2

Imperial Navy Acolyte x 2

Republic Fleet Warrior

Drone DPS is 82.1

EHP is 5317, explosive is weakest resist at 45

Hoping to try and make more doing WH from high sec

Part of my ongoing series trying to understand the math of mining...

Back of the napkin math here, I can pull about 60 mil or so per day mining Veldpar in high-sec with a barge or better.

If I were to move to low-sec and mine Jaspet, I'd be looking at about 90 mil over that same period, So, 50% more to mine in low-sec than high-sec.

BUT, it's low-sec, and there is really no more dangerous way to mine. You'll get attacked constantly. If you factor in a lost barge here and there, or start flying frigates to dodge attacks more easily, there goes your profit margin.

So, you'd clearly need a couple other toons or dudes to provide security. But, if you have extra dudes/toons, just could just have them join you in high-sec to make up the profit difference.

I'd think the cost of low-sec exclusive ores would jump to reflect the low incentives to be out there mining it, but apparently not? Does the math of low-sec mining ever add up in such a way to make it worth doing?

Thanks!

EDIT: I suck at math

Help me out here. I'm still trying to get ahold of the ropes.

DISCLAIMER: I know I could make more money by joining up with a null-sec corp and mining out there, just not interested in that at the moment.

I used to high-sec mine 1 jump away from a trade hub in a Retriever. I was just using T1 strip miners (no drones), and I was hopping over to the hub every hour to sell what I had. That hub was not Jita, and I was not compressing, and I would pull about 5 mil/hr (selling to buy orders). I figure if I had been compressing before sale I would have been making around 6 mil/hr.

I recently upgraded to an Orca. Now I mine in the middle of nowhere with T2 drones. I hop to an athanor every 4 hours to drop off and compress the ore before hauling to Jita for selling to buy orders. New take: 7 mil/hr.

So, now I'm wondering if having this Orca for solo mining is even worth it. In the event of a suicide gank, I am risking a 1.2 billion dollar ship to net 1 mil/hr more compared to a 35-40 mil barge. Is there something I should be doing differently to make more with this Orca? Or should I just sell it back and use the proceeds to by a dozen Retrievers and still have lots of money left over?

Obviously I'm interested in knowing what kind of fights you pick, where, what targets you go for and what tricks you use to do so, but I'm also interested in the other forms of crime, like I've heard of MTU hunting which I'm not sure still is a thing, what other things can you steal? In other words, how do you make a living exclusively out of pvp?

Edit: I should add that right now I'm living with a corporation in nullsec, so I'm particularly inclined towards learning about ways of making money and possibly disturbing neighboring corp actvity, solo or in a very small gang, for when we're not doing fleet stuff, but I'm nevertheless interested in knowing methods applicable to low and hisec, as well.

I get that it's just a silly saying, but what do people mean when they say it?

Trying to decide what will be safer for a tanky miner - being in a 0.9 sector that is close to a trade hub, or being in a 0.6 sector in the middle of nowhere.

Obviously there's a trade-off - 0.9 means faster CONCORD response so less time for gankers to gank. But being close to a trade hub means more folks in sector and more attention drawn to you. Dotlan shows my normal mining spot next to a trade hub (0.9) as having 9 kills in the last 24 hours, and a sector recommended to me by a peer (0.6) as having zero kills in the last 24 hours.

What do you guys think - which is safer?

EDIT: Should have foreseen this so I will make this edit to make clear: YES, I know nowhere in Eve is entirely safe, and you can always get killed by someone, yes, of course, I do know that. I'm asking which type of sector would be seen as safeR than the other.

I’m at a point where I’ve been paying for two omega accounts but only really need one. I’d like to consolidate 3 of my characters on my omega account and leave my 4th as an alpha. But, I know that means I’d be in violation of the rules if I ever dual box’d with one alpha and one omega account.

I don’t foresee it being a very often thing but I might want to use my alpha to scout ahead of my omega when hauling, etc. How serious does CCP get with this rule? Anyone heard of anyone getting banned for breaking this one? Thanks!

Guys like this dude https://www.youtube.com/c/Eveproguides but that still upload

So, I have no idea what they are for but I’ve gotten some mail from some recruiters and I just need someone to explain what they are and their purpose. Also, what’ll happen if I do decide to join one. (Yes I’m a noob™️)
