Comet must continue to look like a police car.

Comet is my favorite ship ccp. don't fuck it up.

I know this is way late and I'm sure it's a stupid question but what is it that caused PLEX prices to skyrocket? Is it all the AUR shit? I just noticed when I saw a contract advert selling one for 350mil and thought it was odd since that's what I last remembered them being on the market.

Resub my main account. Log on. Find I'm still char specced until January 24th. Cringe. I guess I resubbed too early. It's going to make training for t2 large turrets a right bastard.

Also when CCP was toying with the idea of PLEX for remaps, that caused the prices to shoot up a bit.

digital camo the future is now

Camo in space makes no damn sense to me. But what the hell all I want is an orca. AFK mining plagio in a badger is certainly a way to kill time while busy doing other stuff.

First of all, nearly everyone here is going to berate you for mining at all. I however, am going to berate you for how you are mining. To begin with, you NEVER mine in an industrial. Especially not the Tier 1 industrial. Every race has a mining frigate and mining cruiser. From there you move on to the Retriever and then finally the Hulk for general mining. The Retriever's T2 counterpart (I forget its name) is used to mine ice. Also, if you're mining to refine and sell, you're best off mining kernite. (If you're staying in hisec).

Mining in industrials is good only when you're too lazy to haul I suppose, or play eve afk.

Oh god, the newest devblog makes me feel all warm and cozy inside: [quote=CCP Devblog] While we're waiting to do a proper rewrite of the starbase system, we thought we'd tackle some of the bigger pain points. Using Jump Bridges Currently on TQ you can use a jump bridge if a) the tower is configured to not shoot at you and b) you have the forcefield password entered. a) is a pretty straightforward way of configuring access, and we're pretty happy with it. [B]b) is awkward to use and requires people to keep track of a bajillion passwords and/or hand out their tower passwords to the entire universe. We don't like b), so we've removed it, and you'll no longer need the starbase's password to use its jump bridge. Everything else will continue to work as it currently does. [/B] Setup/Takedown Timers The current timers for anchoring, onlining, offlining and unanchoring structures are suboptimal from a player-experience perspective, so we optimized them. Here are some fun changes: [B]Jump Bridges now take 30 seconds to anchor (but are otherwise unchanged) Cynosural Generators now take 10 seconds to anchor and unanchor (but are otherwise unchanged) Cyno Jammers are unchanged CSAAs and CSMAs now take 30 seconds to anchor, 3 seconds to online/offline and 10 minutes to unanchor Turrets, launchers, EW batteries and hardeners now take 5 seconds to anchor/unanchor and 120 seconds to online/offline Every other structure not already mentioned in this list now takes 5 seconds to anchor/unanchor and 3 seconds to online/offline[/B] Fuel Blocks We're concerned that asking people to regularly fuel more than two or three starbases is probably in violation of the Geneva Convention, so we decided to make it a little easier before we're indicted for war crimes. [B]Starbases will stop needing multiple fuel types, and instead will simply use fuel blocks, each of which contains 100% of the Recommended Hourly Allowance for a small control tower. (NOTE: none of this affects charters, which will still need to be added as normal!)[/B] The four racial fuel blocks will be built in batches of four in all stations, plus starbase ammo assembly arrays (blueprints coming to a Thukker Mix station near you; build time approximately ten minutes). Each batch of four will need the following components: 8x Coolant 4x Enriched Uranium 400x relevant racial Isotope 4x Mechanical Parts 20x Oxygen 1x Robotics 150x Heavy Water 150x Liquid Ozone Towers will use 1 block/hour for small, 2 blocks/hour for medium and 4 blocks/hour for large. The CPU and Power load will no longer have any impact on your fuel needs - all towers now need the same amount of fuel, regardless of configuration. Blocks will be 50m3 each. To make fuel bay sizes line up more nicely, we've boosted the bays on normal towers to 35/70/140k, so you get a nice round 700 cycles in each, which works out at a hair over 29 days. (Does not affect strontium bays!) [B]The one downside of this big-blocks approach is that it's impossible to give faction towers a fuel consumption bonus any more (you can't consume 2/3 of a block). We talked to some large-scale starbase operators about this, and they told us that the main bonus of faction towers for them is actually that they last longer between fuel cycles. To try and compensate for the increased running costs, we've taken the above bay size increases and added +25% bay size on top of that for the "tier 1" faction towers, and +50% bay size for the "tier 2" ones. We're hoping people will find that a satisfactory tradeoff, but we're listening for further feedback on this change.[/B] Fuel Block Implementation The way we're going to roll this out is that the blocks, their blueprints and the changes to tower capacities will be introduced in the main patch. The changes to fuel consumption on the towers will be rolled out a couple of weeks later. The starbase system doesn't allow for multiple simultaneous fuel types, so we have to switch from one to the other during downtime. The way we're strongly advising players to approach this handover is to fill your fuel bays with "half and half" - enough of the old fuel to last you to the changeover downtime and then some (I'd suggest 2-3 days extra just in case something horrible happens), and enough of the new fuel blocks to run the tower until you can fill it with 100% blocks. The server should then come back up after the update, see the new fuel and start consuming that like nothing had happened. Some Fuel Block Whys We got rid of power and CPU affecting fuel consumption because it made the process needlessly complex, it meant that you had to calculate things separately for each tower (which sucks), and we didn't think the cost difference was sufficiently significant to keep it on We kept racial types because we didn't want to mess around with isotopes We reduced effective robotics consumption on medium and small towers because it was judged to be better than increasing the consumption on large towers We rounded some of the fuel types just to make fuel-construction math easier We stuck with small numbers of blocks and no fuel use bonus on faction towers because dealing with small numbers of blocks makes starbases in general easier to use We didn't do this ages ago because I couldn't see a good way to handle the handover until someone pointed out the (obvious) half-and-half solution, at which point I punched myself in the head for not seeing that earlier Hope this makes your lives a little easier, -Greyscale [/quote] Good to know PI isn't going to collapse because of the new fuel system.

Hopefully faction towers will start dropping again

If I'm mining properly I use my Bantam with two miner 1's fitted and expanded holds, I dump into a can alongside my buddy, collect it every 1 hour or so in my badger. We collect until we're both tired of it then sell it off and split it 50/50. If I'm afk, I'm generally busy with things such as working, chores, or playing other games. Therefore I slap eve in the background and leave my hauler mining which isn't going to fill up in a couple minutes and require constant attention. I ramp the volume up and alt-tab to change asteroids when one depletes. I'm going to be buying an Osprey when I can afford one and later move up as I plan to go ice mining, which of course takes time and money. My character is currently training Mining V so I can't exactly fit anything else into the 4 day queue. And I don't give a damn if you disapprove of my career path, it's my money going into it, it's my time, and if I enjoy it, what's the problem?

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;33176997]And I don't give a damn if you disapprove of my career path, it's my money going into it, it's my time, and if I enjoy it, what's the problem?[/QUOTE] I had this whole spiel about how bad mining is compared to... well, everything else, but every time I tell people that, they just ignore me and do it anyway (and those people all eventually quit EVE or gave up on mining to do something else). So I'm just going to say this: you can play however you want, but anyone who tells you mining is horrible, is not lying. Bad isk per hour, dead end skills, and it's boring. I say this as someone who used to mine for hours every day in a Hulk; now whenever I open my skill sheet I'm reminded of the millions of wasted SP I have in mining skills that no longer get used. Do it at your own peril, my friend.

What the fuck CCP?! I can only train skills on ONE character per account. I am not going to pay another monthly fee just to have an alt. I like CCP and all the things they are doing to fix EVE but seriously? This is complete and utter bogus.

If you can't support your first account purely on PLEX, you're either playing wrong or you aren't skilled enough.
