>>930120The higher tier abyss require you to go to 0.5 and 0.6 systems. This was added so suicide gankers have more time (~20 seconds) to gank in cheap destroyers versus how it was before requiring expensive high alpha ships (~10 seconds) since abyss runners opted for running them in 1.0 and 0.9 systems. Now T5 and T6 runners are in out of the way systems in a deep safe away from the stargate. Gankers check zkill for names of known runners in bling fits and use locator agents to track them down.

>>932493cuz it doesnt really hurt your rep that bad, and alts existalso the isk is really good considering you just need a 5mil SP alpha for it. also Jita's kind of overrated. it's cut off on the wrong side of Uedama from the rest of empire space and Caldari space is way overpopulated, meaning more gankers and too much traffic. Rens, Hek, Dodixie move slowly but the profit margins are much higher, and Amarr's quite a big trade hub these days (still nothing close to Jita). Wormholers usually use Amarr over Jita because higher mathematical chance to pop out near Amarr. Jita's still good for rare shit though, but meh, havent been there in 6 months or more, its just too far from any worthwhile content.

>>932501please respond
My Golden Vexor navy issue is still there.
My friend has invited me into possibly doing T5 Abyss runs as a duo.However I am an Alpha clone. Are there any destroyer ships I can pilot and builds I can use for duo T5s preferably as a DPS.
>>933851I'm not sure there's alpha-friendly destroyers for T5s, even as a duo, since the best destroyer you could use would be a navy issue one. Destroyers for abysses are sort of in a bad place because they have a bigger signature radius and slower movement than a frigate (Which means you're taking more hits from larger ships) while not having the EHP of cruisers to compensate, especially because most destroyers have very limited low and mid slots. At least with a frigate, you are playing to your strengths by being small enough to avoid most battleship fire and some cruiser shots while being able to close range quicker.T3D don't follow this rule because they not only have massive resist bonuses in defensive configuration but also a frigate-sized signature radius. Whichever T3D gets targeted can "hull down" and soak up damage while the other picks off threats in sharpshooter mode.
>>933851for T5s you'd need to be omegabut you'd need practice flying together anyway, so good place to start would be Corax T1 or T2s together and working your way up. then when you're able to fly one and you're omega, duo Jackdaw is usually the go
Sit too close to the sun you're gonna burrrrrn.
The Omen is a stereotypical example of the Amarrian School of thinking when it comes to ship design: thick armor and hard hitting lasers. Advancements in heat dissipation allow the Omen to fire its lasers faster than other ships without this technology.
>Caldari
The mighty Armageddon class is one of the enduring warhorses of the Amarr Empire. Once a juggernaut that steamrolled its way into battle, it has now taken on a more stately and calculated approach, sending out a web of drones in its place while it drains the enemy from a distance.

Eve needs rethinking of industry and taxes. Industrial gameplay would be much more interesting if things would be less vertically integrated. This might even soft nerf everybody coalescing into megablobs.Then again, we won't be seeing major ecosystem changes in a maintenance mode game.

Red Frog here. Ama.
>>934757Railguns feel kind of weak, they have middling damage on paper and their fast rate of fire makes them eat up ammo quickly. Beam lasers hit really hard and make it feel like you're killing things faster, artillery obliterates things but takes like 20 seconds to fire again.
>>934776How often are you ganked?
Echoes patched in new faction ships that you can buy with real money and the 100 people still playing are losing their shit over it.
>>934757Depends what you want to use it for. There are better weapons for PvE but you can find uses for railguns in PvP. The larger null groups usually use Caldari ships like Eagles and Cormorants but in small gang kitey bullshit Astartes, Brutix Navies and Deimoses work pretty well.
>>934884Something around 1 gank every 1 month or two I guess.Depends on how safe I play. But I really don't and neither does everyone else. Thank god it's covered by SRP though.

>>934776How many accounts you run at once?I skilled up a freighter alt and thought hauling was great fun for about a week. Then I decided you guys were amazing value and I never wanted to fly anything bigger than a cruiser again. Thanks!
>>935032It just is, it is very popular amongst euros and asiatics.
>>935036>>935037>very popular>peaks at 6000 active players
Megablobs are not the result of a lack of artificial caps (which would be bad) but rather the fact that there is zero diminishing returns for blueing up everything with a pulse / that evades CCPnigger bot detection. Not playing in the fuckhuge blueneutral corporate entity is actively gimping yourself and the game is worse as a result.
resources too plentiful, pvp too unskilled. there will always be room for thousands of retards in your group
>>935039how many accounts for the average EoG user?I'm 6, and far from the only degenerate in this thread.People with more accounts log in more. I'd bet you can divide the 18k players by 6 more often than just 3.
>EoG
Number of accounts is kinda irrelevant without qualifiers. I have ~10+ accounts but only 2 have ever been Omega (excluding the free omega days a while ago).
if you actually play the game you could see that 3 is the absolute minimum most people run .2.6 is probably comes from bots \multiple alpha users that run in isolated environment.if you unable to see that , you probably don't play at all and your opinion is irrelevant , or another fucking diasabled degenerate that struggles to put two things together

Also, they took away the option to buy Plex with ISK last week, which is obviously a sign they are trying to milk people for more money.
>Also, they took away the option to buy Plex with ISKlolwut, isn't that the point of plex in the first place?
>>935185any chink mmo or fifa is a mile ahead , just because they don't encourage you sub miltiple accounts to """"train"""" shit
>implgnyififa is literal gacha hell
>>935036>How manyI'd rather not directly answer because one could pinpoint who I am.But I can tell tell that in RF, all people run alts, I've seen one running as many as 12.Some just have like 1-2 freighters and use the rest of the alts living elsewhere ie null.You need 2 minimum for joining btw. One for aceepting contracts and the other for hauling. For security reasons. >amazing valueThe real deal is that in RF autopiloting is allowed so everyone just remote controls their pc from their work/school. Even the management!"Isk/hr" is pretty "bad" but since you can autopilot all day long, and losses are partially covered by SRP, plexing an account is not so difficult while ALSO being attentive to RL.
Yesterday I killed my first VentureI've lost my innocenceSinclair, you are a man now
>>935400Does no one really bother autopiloting freighters through highsec? I was under the impression that people killed them just for the killmails even if they had no cargo.I don't even pilot a 500k EHP DST with half a billion in loot without an escort.
>>935337Yeah, honestly if they want to increase new player retention they need to make it so your 3 character slots can all train when omega so that you can have your line member/PVP alt and your money making/casual play alts not be the same fucking character
>>935492>Does no one really bother autopiloting freighters through highsec? Push X does not allow autopilot AFAIK but then, they also don't offer SRP. At RF, it really depends. If it's a rush contract (delivered within 4 hours of acceptance or get your money back), undercollateralized contract (e.g. 1.5 collat, 3 bil cargo), or a gank-hot day, then they expect you to fly smart. However, there are no rules against AP, because they respect RL more. > I was under the impression that people killed them just for the killmails even if they had no cargo.They do, but that's extremely rare. We rarely fly without a cargo anyway. To carry one is our job.Anyhow, the impression I got is that, gankers 99% of the time do it for money and tears. They steal the loots, ransom it, then manufacture and sell the very type of ships they would gank. Otherwise they cannot sustain dozens of gank alts. >I don't even pilot a 500k EHP DST with half a billion in loot without an escort.Well, freighters don't have a lot of active defensive options, and most people don't have the time and patience to babysit 26~46sec align 1.3au/s ships through Jita - Amarr either. Although one could use a scout and a webber or two, they won't offer complete protection. DSTs, on the other hand, while fragile, are much more agile and can MWD-cloak.Different ships for different jobs and speed I guess.
>>934299>amarr
>>935516>gankers 99% of the time do it for money and tearsI know a lot of them have to do it for the money because it's the only way to pay for all of their characters, but when I sorted through a bunch of HS killmails a few months ago to try and get an idea who they were targeting, I noticed it's disproportionately people who can't afford to replace their losses, usually solo players or small corps whose combined net worth was an Orca and three Hulks. At first I chalked it up to these players either being new and not knowing how to stay safe or playing solo and not having the benefit of intel while they're out in space, but then you have large HS corps basically never getting ganked and I always wondered why.It was about that time I noticed that people with access to SRP or the ability to soak their losses and not even care because they're making far more money than they're losing are losing far fewer ships than other players which started to make me think these people are being targeted specifically. I thought back to roaming out in null and my frustration when I finally do manage to catch some Fraternity bot and blow up their Ishtar that it basically generates enough ISK to replace itself every hour and I've effectively done nothing but waste my own time, whereas if I blew up someone's Retriever in high sec I likely cost them heavily if they were mining as a source of income.I guess that's just the nature of EVE though, if you play for tears then you won't get any against a group the generates enough income to replace whatever you can kill every 10 minutes.
>>935538You make very interesting points.Although my take is a bit more wild and /x/ tier schizo.>there is a high sec cabal than runs the whole scene, including ganks, and target the newbros specifically so they can dominate the market with their bots/alliance.
>>935578>>935538Forgot to add.For example, think about the high sec ice mining scene. They target independent miners and newbros for this very purpose.
>>935578I mean, that's not an /x/ tier take, that was the entire purpose of Hulkaggeddon many years ago. Basically ruin independent and small operations as much as possible to make only large scale mining worthwhile, and you can be sure other initiatives are going on with the intention of pushing players to large null alliances or out of the game.And yeah, HS ice mining is fairly competitive, I'm really surprised at just how protective some groups are with HS ice. It doesn't even pay as well as a good moon, so you'd think people with weight to throw around would just start moon mining.
I'm still impressed when ppl talks on how they made billions in this anniversary event, its gonna end in a week and I barely broke 1b, not playing that much but it still seens unreal when I hear ppl talking about how they made billions in 4 hours or less opening cans in low sec.
>>935595I haven't opened many cans in LS, but I've probably done a hundred or so in wormhole space and haven't gotten shit for it. I'm lucky if each site was worth 5m ISK.
I'm am going to attempt to earn enough isk to seed a new trade hub. How many trillion isk will I need? The plan will to be to get it started and then shill on reddit as if it was their idea so we take down Jewta.
>>9356043 problems>(((Jita))) and (((Perimeter))) fags trying to ruin/evict you>Dividing the market when the player pop is shrinking and amarr is dying.>Low/Null alliances who will seek to destroy (but also help) you depending on where you place your hub
>>935604Don't worry about putting everything under the sun in a trade hub, think about what the locals use and stock it appropriately. There's several systems I do that with for faction warfare, mission running hubs, ice belts, etc and it works well because the people nearby can grab stuff they need without leaving. There's no reason to stock Ravens in FW space, for example, but they do sell well in mission hubs.Ideally you want to sell to people who don't go through enough ships and modules to warrant having them shipped in from Jita, as in trying to sell Raptors to a group that goes through them by the hundreds won't get you any sales because they're just going to get someone to bring them shrinkwrapped fits from wherever's cheaper. You want to sell to people who hang around an area and occasionally need things but not enough to justify flying somewhere else to get them. It's like I sell marked up ammo in a few places because people don't want to spend 30 minutes flying somewhere to pick up more when they could spend a few extra million extra and go right back to shooting rats and recoup the difference.
>>935609Don't give a fuck about the health of the game, that is CCP's job. I've done mire than my share of free advertising for them.>>Low/Null alliances who will seek to destroy (but also help) you depending on where you place your hubYep thats why I'm thinking about doing it somewhere in thw south, goons seems like the most promising to help. >>935615Thanks for the advice man. I'll probably take a year to gather the liquid for the initial investment. If you're still around then I'll definitely be asking you for help and where to place the hub.
>>935619If you want quick advice, try and seed Apanake, Osmon, or even Lanngisi despite being two jumps from Hek. Osmon has a decent amount of people who continue to run missions there despite being a .7 system and still getting ganked, Lanngisi is full of Russians and Chinese so you'll have a lot of buyers for smaller things, and Apanake, despite that old broski fag camping it for a few months, still has a decent amount of people who run out there but it's the least populated of the three since it's so far from a good hub (Dodixie is about 8 jumps away and everything in it is usually marked up). Sell faction and T2 ammo, sell T2 large guns, cap charges, hardeners, extenders, boosters and reps, tracking and guidance enhancers and computers with scripts, anything that people use and you'll get buyers who don't care that they're paying a 100% markup because their purchase volume isn't big enough for it to matter.Apanake especially wouldn't be a bad start because the Genesis region is big and has no market hubs that are close, it's mostly untapped because it's not valuable enough to make it worth heavily colonizing and not close enough to markets to make it viable to travel back and forth. Aridia, serving as a corridor to Delve, Solitude, Fountain, and Amarr proper could use a hub since it sees a lot of movement, especially if you were looking to purchase things and jump freighter them back to Amarr or elsewhere, you could probably buy a lot for cheap.
>>935619>Yep thats why I'm thinking about doing it somewhere in thw south, goons seems like the most promising to help. And as a humble hauler, I wholeheartedly support your cause. In all honesty, all the contracts we deal with are literally centered around bringing goods into Jita, so traveling out of Jita is rarely justifiable financially. Outgoing contracts are rare. Other "hubs" like Dodixe and Hek do not really help that much, so we could really use other hubs.

Should I get in to abyssals? I mostly only play for any length of time on the weekends, but I have an hour here or there during the weekdays I'd like to grind some ISK during the time. I've been doing missions which get me about 100m ISK/hr, about which level of the abyss is equivalent to that?
>>936719Either 3 or 5 if they have a stabilizer. They're surprisingly hard to catch.If you want a cheap way to hunt them, the Malus Navy Issue gives +2 strength to scramblers so you would catch most Ventures with a single scram, otherwise you have to fit a scram and a point to most ships to catch them.

>>936719yep, they get a bonus of +2 so you have to exceed that. You can do this by any combination of scrams and points that add up to >2Consider also that a warp core stabilizer adds another +2 to any ship with it while it's active.

>>937775I don't do it in Pochven, but in k-space I go to EDENCOM and Triglavian systems that have Drifter wormholes and occasionally a fight breaks out between Drifters and EDENCOM/Triglavians. The Drifters almost always roll the floor with the two and leave behind a ton of loot.>>937975The salvage is small but the drops are not. Most forces seem to drop between 2000-4000 m3, more if there's an Orca in the fleet.
was curious about isk sellers so checked a site i had bought wow gold from beforethese niggers are selling isk higher than it would case to turn plex into
>>937975>amarr
>>938157I think CCP did well combating ISK sellers that way despite PLEX being cancer for the game as a whole. Basically even if PLEX prices dipped down because the market was being flooded by people selling it, CCP just creates alts and spawns ISK in their wallet to delete the PLEX from the system. Since they have full control over the ISK supply, not all PLEX sold actually reaches player hands.
>>938061>but the drops are notah gotcha
>>938206ccp doesnt "spawn isk" they use the isk collected by NPCs and permabanned accountsif you sell a lot of plex in jita you will occasionally see npcs buy
>>938680>Using game master confiscated ISK that was obtained through botting operations to purchase ISK and remove it from circulation, effectively increasing the barrier for players to PLEX their account by artificially inflating the price.You can call it whatever you want, but the fact of the matter is that CCP is specifically pushing up the price of ISK to increase the amount of real money spent on the game.
>>938693Fuck me, it's too late for me to attempt to form any coherent argument here. Just replace some instances of ISK with PLEX, you know what I mean.
>Okay uh, who hasn't received their pap credit yet?
what's a good way to do some pvp without joining a corp?
>>938693>CCP is specifically pushing up the price of PLEXnot really, at least not by directly buying plex from the marketthey control it but most of the plex price increase comes from player demand for all the shit CCP has made purchasable for PLEXa shocking amount of people are really into skins and shitat least when they had the economist guy they actively worked to reduce plex price sometimes as it meant they'd make more money from increased volumeif ccp was controlling the price of plex directly you wouldnt see the huge sales for omega/mct/etc for plex right before end of tax year, they put those sales on to drive up plex prices and increase plex spending, as unspent plex balances are accounted for as debt.
>>938708I have spent 100s of bil on skins. At some point there isn't anything else to spend it on.CCP games cant realize the revenue from plex until it is redeemed for in game services. Unless there is some weird loophole where they can redeem the plex themselves?
>>938780>CCP games cant realize the revenue from plex until it is redeemed for in game servicesI'm not sure what you mean by this, once the plex is purchased and the transaction goes through, ccp has the money - whether the player redeems it or just keeps it and never uses it doesn't matter
new skins when? for good ships, not gay shit like marauders and gilas
>>938780is this some arcane icelandic law applied to modern times??? it sounds fucking stupid
New bellicose model pls
>>938792>>938798Its pretty standard. You've given ccp cash for their in game item. But the item is redeemable for a service that has yet to be provided by CCp. So they have an outstanding commitment.So basically when everyone buys plex the real money gets put to the side. Then when someone uses it for a 6 month sub ccp gets to realize the revenue over those 6 months. Its real money CCP can use but they have the outstanding obligation until services provided so it doesn't show as revenue on their investor reports. And for a publicly traded company those reports are all that matter.Even non-public companies like Jagex have to follow similar guidelines.I only learned about it in passing on my way to CPA in the USA but its basically global.tldr: leaving plex in dev locked accounts would make ccp look bad to koreans.I believe without real evidence they've used seized isk and plex before to try to soften the markets in the past but its not a long term plex sink.
Decent overview:https://www.iasplus.com/en/publications/us/industry-spotlight/tech/tech-spotlight-issue-4See "Life of the Virtual Good" as their likely approach.Now that I think about it having a stock of banned account plex that you can "burn" if you know its a bad quarter would be a good idea on CCPs part.
Has anyone tried grinding Lvl 5 missions? Currently my main can fly a Golem, and will probably be able to have my Phoenix and Chimera pilots be ready in T2 fits in about 2-3 months. The problem is, the more I look into this, it's like a rabbit hole, muddied by people who are sensitive about LP prices, random trolls, and simply sheer lack of information/guide regarding the topic.
>>938693>CCP is specifically pushing up the price of ISKerr fanfest stats literally showed it was inflation caused by ishtar-spinners, incursionfags and rorqbots
>>938702FW>>938959you can run some lv5s in frigates or a cheeky praxis fit or spider-tank domishardest part is honestly not getting dropped by snuffed.
Is there an updated version of this 2011 infographic?

>>938959L5s can be profitable but it's not all that reliable. It's k-space, so you'll light up on the map with NPCs killed and attract attention after a couple of missions. The payout to effort isn't the same as wormhole sites or ratting in null, so it doesn't attract a whole lot of people when you could just AFK Ishtar for similar payouts.Bringing extra people along splits the LP payouts too much as well, which is a shame because it would let you keep your risk small, and half the missions are against other empires, so it's hard not to drag your standings down. There's just more headache involved in L5s compared to other forms of income but there's a few people who enjoy doing them anyway and it can pay well if you're allowed to do them uninterrupted.
>AFK Ishtar for similar payouts.
>>939234Yes dog, have you even watched the video that guy posted? There is not a single item in the LP store that will net you the price he claims unless you want to sell one implant a week for the next year. You might make 200m/hr doing L5s at best, it's not that great of source of income compared to other things.
And afk ishtar makes 70m before tax. Your point?
>>939238It makes about double that on average, or do you not count the ESS payouts?
why are you comparing something you do with 1-2 accounts to something you can multibox a limitless number of, you absolute retards
>>938792Purchased, unredeemed plex is an outstanding liability of game time. In a bankruptcy situation, the plex holding customer class could argue in court that this makes them a higher creditor class (general unsecured) than the equity interest (ie, Pearl Abyss).
>customer class
>>939161nahits not changed terribly much, just add abyssals, KRAB beacons, FOB hunting, diamond rat hauler farming and pochven stuff and its more-or-less up to date
