EVE Online: Poo in the sandbox - Games

First time going out ot null and PvP'ing in a long long time, flying a Falcon and playing tricky jams. Yay :D

Flew with the TVP people yesterday and made some quick and easy money. Can confirm that what Strawberry Clockguy said, they're chill people and it's not difficult work. Especially if you're like me and went the laziest role of all, Sniper/Nightmare

The only thing that bugs me about TVP is because of the requirements they hold everyone to, you can't fly with them if you're an alpha. Do they [I]say that?[/I] No, but as soon as they say "T2 tank [I]required[/I]" then that rules out any chance of me joining up. [editline]20th December 2016[/editline] I love the alpha system, it lets people like me play again. I'm just concerned that instead of closing the capsuleer age elitism gap, they're making a different one.

Well it sorta makes sense to keep that blocked off, because not having a T2 tank makes you a huge liability for the FC and the Logi, like it or not. Additionally, if every alpha could run incursions, they'd all be able to PLEX in no time at all and that would probably have rather disastrous effects on the market along with CCPs ability to make money off of subscriptions.

Alpha's can't tank for shite. (Just not enough resistances to not have logi struggle to keep them alive.) No one wants to insure someone who cant actually fly their ships to a reasonable standard. It's all so the logi don't have to stress out on keeping a alpha alive who really shouldn't be flying in those sort of conditions. Min tank, max gank. Efficiency is the name of the game.

Well also the ships they want for Incursions are also Omega locked regardless of T1 or T2 tanking, so even if they'd take a T1 tank they'd never take anything below a T2 Log or a battleship.

I mean I understand they have standards and those standards are exactly why they do so well in incursions, its just disappointing is all.

[QUOTE=S31-Syntax;51561781]I mean I understand they have standards and those standards are exactly why they do so well in incursions, its just disappointing is all.[/QUOTE] It does seem disappointing, but remember that these sites are tough, and if you're lacking in EHP you could easily get alpha'd off the field or be that guy who needs to be perma-repped. AI in the game for incursions is second only to Sleeper AI. Ergo, they will focus the "weakest" targets first and move their way up. One dead ship can easily turn into several more. They could introduce "alpha friendly" incursion sites or other decently lucrative PvE content for alpha players, but I am not sure it would be a well received idea (another isk faucet and less incentive to buy game time).

if you truly wish to do incursions as an alpha just join Goonswarm or some other big power bloc. they do null and low-sec incursions, where they can drop fucking carriers and triage on a site, without you having to fly anything more than a Maller or some other alpha cruiser. only problem is having to wait for RNG to allow an incursion close-ish to Delve.

Last month I used a couple of weeks directing my friends in how to respec his entire account to run TVP and I spent at least 3 Billion to buy him the equipment and the skill injectors so he could use the basic Vindicator fit. At the end of the month I still had enough ISK left over to PLEX my account twice and give a PLEX to my friend since he didn't spend enough time in incursions to buy his own that month.

Got jumped by a lazerhawkz sabre when I was running a relic site in my astero. Had my MWD on, just burned away and cloaked up. He came within 5km of me before giving up and warping off. Amazing constipation aid 10/10 would endorse this product and/or service.

I haven't played in forever, does bumping disable your covert ops?

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;51583536]I haven't played in forever, does bumping disable your covert ops?[/QUOTE] Any non-cloaked ship that is able to get within 2 km or so of a cloaked ship will turn its cloak off. My astero has a very quick align time (under 1.5 seconds), but being decloaked in a bubble (or with a bubble blocking your destination) will not allow your align time to save you.

I thought you couldn't cloak if you were locked up, did you burn out of his lock range?

Need. Way. To add. Skills. Away from computer.

[QUOTE=Killdozer;51583763]I thought you couldn't cloak if you were locked up, did you burn out of his lock range?[/QUOTE] For some reason, he neglected to lock me up until I was already cloaked. \/:v:\/

I'm thinking of playing Eve again. The last time I really played was I think 10 years ago and the game going free* makes me curious to poke my head in again. Is that a good idea?

Looks like I got into Null just in time for the Southern war to kick off. Good luck to anyone else involved!

Got into my first real fleet fight in Litom vs a much bigger goon fleet the other day. Got 5 kills before I died, was a ton of fun. Some of the things in this game are just addicting.

Dipped my toes into the pvp pool. Got spooked by an AC cat that I just kinda slapped him with drones and he bounced out. Now I'm kinda mad. I coulda scrammed and probably killed his ass, but I was a pansy and was too afraid his AC's would have a 20k optimal [I]somehow.[/I]

Just got into a pretty big fight in Catch after one of our Titan pilots accidentally jumped instead of bridged and was promptly tackled. Comms proceed to blow the fuck up and we all bridge in to try and save it, Goons proceed to drop 20 fucking titans just for good measure to make sure it dies. [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/K2Pc1nV.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] Goons apparently felt bad so one of their titan pilots (who was actually a traitor piloting a Rag that he stole) did the same thing, we blew him the fuck up (but I died before I could get on the kill RIP). All in all a crazy ass fight that was over fast and was fun as hell. Glad we broke even on that one, gf.
