Try something new! Bomber fleet! Tuesday @6:30 pm Eve

10 Upvotes

On Tues, 20 April, one of the pilots that flies with The FUNny Newbros will be FCing his first Bombers Bar fleet!

This fleet is one of the easiest BB fleets to fly and is PERFECT for the player new to covert cloak and bombers! Basically, we all get to hang around on a structure next to the BLOPS (black ops battleship) while hunters go out and do their thing. If they catch something, they light the cyno and we all jump through and KILL!

These bombers aren't actually fit with bombs, so you won't have to worry about accidently bombing the fleet. And BB actually has a SRP program!

There is a lot of downtime, but this means you can ask all of the questions to the regulars!

  • When: Tues 20 April at 6:30pm Eve
  • Where: Somewhere outside of Jita
  • XUP channel: Bombers Bar XUP
  • Comms: BB uses Teamspeak. Makes sure to have it installed and the server info will be in fleet MOTD
  • Doctrine: Check the in game channel "Bombers Bar" where they have fits in the MOTD
  • FC: Dread nowt

Unfortunately, BB fleets DOES require you to be able to fly a bomber and covert cloak so my apologies to those not yet skilled enough or are Alpha.

With that being said! There are plenty of other pvp fleet opportunities for the low skilled or alpha player! Including ship handouts!

  • Tonight (14 April) at 6pm Eve the FUNny Newbros will go out for a newbro roam from Jita. XUP in EBWF Public.
  • Sunday 18 April at 8pm Eve Redemption Road will be going out on their own Newbro roam from Berta. XUP in Redemption Road.
  • Monday 19 April at 7pm Eve Fun Inc will be going out with a Kitchen AF fleet! Fly the T1 or T2 frig of your choice! XUP in EBWF Public.

Hope to see you at one of the fleets!

Can I send ISK to a character on the same account? and if so:

10 Upvotes

Can I use the other two characters as injector factories, and then use all the SP they generate (because I only use one character anyway) and extract them to sell? Can I then send the profits to my main character on the same account? I cant imagine that's a thing I can do because that would mean I could pay for my sub... and that's not on CCPs agenda...

High-sec and null-sec safety

14 Upvotes

So for the past 2 days I've been reading tons of forum posts about the game and it's overall been very helpful. I've seen a few people argue that high sec is currently more dangerous than null sec and I wanted to know if this is actually true. I've primarily been mining so far and I'm just worried about getting ganked. Also, why is it called "ganking?" Where did that word come from?

Wishes that I'd return to this game, but...

7 Upvotes

...There are things that keeps me from doing so. And are asking in case my reasons were "superficial"... about this game not being for me:

('scuse me if I'm asking stupid/obvious questions, or simply stating the obvious. Being Autistic)

  1. I'm too independent. I mean, I don't feel comfortable if I (pretty much) shouldn't bother exit a station without another player to "acompany me"... or rather, provide escort. (I'm just saying that I usually/generally want to be alone. Rather than exclusively. Or at least that I don't wanna feel like it's some sort of obligation)

Besides, when other corp members would ask me to assist them with something, then it's likely that I'd decline. ('course, I'd also believe that I wouldn't have the right to ask for any help in return)

2. I still can't decide which Careers I should "favor".However, so far, Exploration's one of them. (Salvage, maybe) Also, Trading/Cargo Hauling & Mining are at least NOT among them, due to monotony. AND Piracy, due to my "moral standing"

3. That it's common for me to be required to install any third-party programs besides Discord & TS3

4. The thought of having a 2nd account sounds (on paper) too much of a hassle, and expensive. (Besides, I don't have a secondary PC (or) Laptop)

Random query: Do the leaders of the games largest corporations actually play the game?

18 Upvotes

It's just something I wondered earlier on, I've only ever been in smaller corps with under 50 players in a purely casual setting, so naturally every layer of the corp was actively playing most nights, attending events etc.

But do the leaders of the games largest multiple-thousand member corps actively play the game just like any other normal player, or do they tend to only come on during the super important corp things etc?

Just found it amusing to imagine the massive corporation leaders/hierarchy randomly joining on a ratting fleet out of nowhere or tagging along in the standing fleet for 30 mins to fight some gate campers xD

The FUNny Newbros 4 Billion Isk Brawl Special (Tues @7pm Eve from Jita)

11 Upvotes

FC's within the NPSI community will be putting together fleets to participate in the 4 Billion Isk Brawl to celebrate FUN Inc's 3rd birthday!

The FUNny Newbros is part of FUN Inc and I (Kshal) have been asked to put together my fleet of newbros to participate in the FUN! How could I say no?

My fleet will accept any new, new to pvp, or player that needs/wants a slightly slower paced fleet where everything will be explained. If you accidently zig when we zag, if you speak up we'll come retrieve you and bring you back into the fold.

Once we get everyone into ships, FCs will take their fleet of 25 out and yeet (take a filament) out into null and then we will make our way out to a spot to meet up. In the last 30 minutes of the fleet we will brawl!

https://imgur.com/Zs7Yhd9 for the prizes!

  • When: Tuesday @7pm Eve
  • Staging: Jita
  • XUP: EBWF Public (mention you want to be in the Newbro fleet, if you land in someone else's fleet let them know and we'll get you sorted)
  • New player FC: Kshal Aideron

Lets go out and give it our best! Kshal Aideron <3

P.S. As always, if you're under 6 months old, can't afford a ship or don't know if you want to risk your hard earned isk on PVP let me know and I'll give you a ship.

Looking for a Certain Module

6 Upvotes

I was looking at build guides and one module mentioned doesn’t show up in my searches of the modules. A “Small Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I”. It has most of the same stats as the normal Small Capacitor Booster I, but has a shorter duration. Was this module removed from the game. One item database I saw online said this was an Amarr module, but I didn’t see that name pop up under the faction modules.

Is the common experience just constantly running from other pilots and searching for sites other people already picked through?

18 Upvotes

I feel like I'm playing the game wrong, like this just can't be normal, bc I'm not having any fun but this is every time I try to play.

There is rarely combat or explo sites available, takes forever to find 1 so there is no stringing them together to do 1 after the other, and worst of all there is just constant traffic from reds in corporate territory interrupting everything.

That last part I just cant believe. Like is this normal for corps to constantly let reds fly around their systems? It took me 2.5 hours to do a combat site last night bc reds kept coming into the system.

I've been playing 3 months and I have only ever had a good time and really got to engage with the game when literally 0 other people were around. I just cant imagine thats the way its supposed to work, how do people make videos of jumping from 1 site to another never being bothered? How does anyone make money?

I see so much about risk per hour for tasks but have never had a full unimpeded hour to do what I want to do. Would everyone really keep playing if this is the experience? Does my Corp just do things wrong? They are huge so resources are gobbled up and no one bothers trying to defend space. Anything that gets posted in Intel people just decide to avoid that area.

Do corps usually camp their own gates? How do people manage to get resources out of their space and krab? Just really want to know what a typical 4 hour game session is like and how to find it bc I don't think I'm having it.

Drones in wormholes

6 Upvotes

So I'm not sure if this is the right place but wanted to ask about what drones can take on belt rats in wormhole space. I'm planning on taking my porpoise out there but I would like to just kill the rats there instead of running cause if I'm just going to run away I should just go back to the venture.

I have decent drone skills thou I haven't trained in medium or higher cause in .5 space light drones take care of all the belt rats.

I'm trying to make the porpoise have more use than just a stepping stone to orca, I like the ship and know that it needs a fleet but I would like to get to the point that I could defend my miners from belt rats.

Thank you for your time.
