Reactions and reprocessing. You can also mine your moons with an Athanor (I think) but we have autominers now so there is no point unless you're a nullsec warlord and own an expensive moon.

Ice was on the rise, but it's kind of stabilized now. It's still up and I imagine it'll stay high for a while, but there might be some minor fluctuations after people stop running as many moon drills.

It's mostly HS ice, the isotopes are on the rise, everything else is remaining fairly static. But mining ice with a hulk and orca boosts is approaching 100m ISK/hr right now, and since the majority of isotope ice comes from HS (Which is already getting fully mined out as frequently as possible), I don't see people being able to meet the demand without traveling to NS to mine some more.

>How dangerous is taking a shuttle full of blueprints from Amarr to Jita through high sec?
The risk is extremely low as long as you use instadocking bookmarks. You get the occasional autists that suicide ganks shuttles with smartbombs, but those guys are extremely rare and they mostly got bored of doing it.
That said, use an interceptor or Dramiel. They go faster and you can put shields on them so you are difficult to smartbomb. My Dramiel survived getting hit by 2 smartbombing Machariels, so would recommend. You still have to use instadock bookmarks or you could get killed by some guy with a thrasher or two.

PI and reactions are the basic two forms of passive income that everyone ought to have running.
You can chain the two of these together as well, as the fuel blocks you use in reactions consume a lot of PI products.
And it gets even better if you chain it further into production.

Not very high, but not 0. You can safely assume if your autopiloting in anything someone will scan you just to take a peek, at which point its just a matter of is it worth losing a trash fit thrasher or tornado and taking a tiny hit to sec status.

If your manually piloting, the only thing that stands a resonable chance of swatting you in a shuttle is shartbombers. But if your moving more than 20 mil worth of stuff, why not just spring for a inty or some other sub 3 second align ship with max warp that can be fit to take a couple slaps? Or better, pay some freight fag larping being a space hauler 40 mil to toss your papers ontop of his bulk load of veldspar he was shipping anyway, while you afk autopilot and do literally anything else with the time.
>>
How is this game still alive? Or is it just rotten at this point with flys buzzing around, I though the devs went for multiboxers instead of fun stuff for new players so it's all fucked innit
>>
>>1503038
EvE is "almost there" with a dozen different things on the verge of being fun. But its like they start shit then abandon it at 60% finished.

All the other games on offer like Elite and Shart Citizen just dont have the depth. They were designed to hit a player threshold they just can't reach.

You also can't deny that a person thats played EvE for decades has an incredible advantage over new players in doing things in the game. You can just slap them down with your wallet if necessary. That kind of baked in whale inertia is tough to fuck around with, like people still clinging to Mechwarrior online because they bought a founders pack a bajillion years ago x20 for EvE.

can anyone suggest me some good reactions to do? i'm having a really tough time deciding
>>
>>1503694
They're extraordinarily good in a couple of specific niche scenarios but kind of useless outside of that. They're most useful in wormhole brawls taking place in Pulsar systems, where they essentially apply 5k effective DPS to a Nighthawk or SNI, and can spread that around for 35k DPS across several targets if they don't die.

Completely worthless in Nullsec fleets. Way too expensive to be useful in small gangs.
>>
I don't know if the launcher can be used in HS, but they can apply 75k damage to a freighter if they can. By comparison, a Catalyst can do about 11k in a .5 system and a Talos about 21k, while the new ship can do its full damage in any security level.

It's overly expensive for that purpose, but if the ships ever get cheaper I could see them start being used for ganks like that.

newfag here, where do i go to blow people up with my poverty 3mil fits? i enlisted with amarr because i heard FW is where the noob pvp is, but so far every scout complex fight has been against either a really expensive ship i can't kill or a group i can't kill. what else can i do solo? (i don't mind joining a corp if that's what it takes to get good fights but i don't want to join one of the huge ones and idk how to find a good small corp)

This is really the reality of things, EVE is an entirely different game when you always have a cloaked T3C or Falcon waiting in the wings. People throw a fit about it not being honorable, but I was never there to have a good fight, only to farm in peace.

The posters above are somewhat correct but it's not as bad as they make it out to be. The short of it is that solo is for experienced players.
Can you go out on your own and learn? Yes you can. There are people who have done that, figured out the fighting meta all on their own. I would not suggest that, ever. Those guys died dozens of times before they figured out the most basic of traps and then dozens or hundreds more before they got good.
Join a corp, join some fleets, go fight. Participate in battles and some of the basics of what to do and how will suddenly become very obvious. Give it a few weeks like that, get some kills in fleets and then try solo again, you'll have a much better time.

in addition to this anon, big fleet fights are what you take away from it
yes you can be an f1 monkey but you can also learn a lot if you are willing to put in some actual effort

>>
>>1506547
>wtf should i spend it on?
I'm trying to answer this question but I honestly don't know how to make good money anymore. I told my newfag friend to go farm faction warfare, but you do that with a 2 mil isk atron.
I get my shekels from industry and I could recommend that if it wasn't a major skillpoints problem. You aren't going to train both combat and industry skills at the same time.
So haven't the foggiest, really.

>how do I stop being space poor?
You can't.
>>
>>1506577
>how do I stop being space poor?
I suggest farming Faction Warfare to get out of poverty.
Omega time is pretty expensive right now and could get more expensive, I would not want to farm that up with an alpha clone.
Assuming ~100 mil an hour farming FW and a month of omega time costing ~2 billion, that's about 20 hours of work a month. It's actually more because you don't get paid in money, you get points that you still have to sell.
There are more profitable activities I guess, but not having the SP is very limiting in that regard. Hacking is better, but doing it with a low SP character kinda sucks, you can get unlucky and destroy all the look by accident because you don't have the good hacking stats.
Getting space rich means you're either doing trading/industry or you're doing some of the high value PVE like highclass wormhole ratting or lvl 5 missions.
>>
>>1506352
>where do i go to blow people up with my poverty 3mil fits?
FW but you won't be doing much killing if you have to ask this. If you want to win then you need to outskil, outship or outnumber your opponents none of which you probably can do. You may get lucky and find someone that you can kill but it will be difficult. The easiest way is to join a corp like FW corp and join in one of their small fleets, that way it doesn't matter if you are in a cheap ship and bad personally. You could try to attack pve players as well but those guys run away pretty fast and it may be difficult to find.

>>1506547
You shouldn't spend it, you now have enough cash to reship if you lose your current ship. You can use it to explore different activities in peace without having to worry about immediately making money. You can fight in FW or try to roam low sec or do some exploration etc. Try different things and see what you find fun.

>>1506577
>is it even feasible to get enough isk to buy plex as a f2p?
Sure you can but you should get a job instead. Even if you make enough to cover your sub just by playing you will inevitably have more fun actually spending that money on things you like to do instead of endlessly grinding to keep your sub active so you can grind more. Unless you like industry or market pvp in which case the money is kinda the point in which case feel free to spend it on the sub.

>>
The issue with abyssals is that to get the big bucks, you need to buy a very expensive ship and if you make a mistake or if the game bugs out you lose this very expensive ship. I'm not sure how CCP treats refunds from abyss losses, but I wouldn't count on it.
Also the test server is no longer up so you can't test before you go in. Which means there's no way to learn properly either.

if you're too earth poor to afford 2 pints of beer worth of Omega time a month then thats fine.
Keep training your alpha up to the 20mil SP cap with daily goals, daily alpha injectors and event SP.
skill into a good Gila and Praxis.
your best bet would be to get into Incursions with a noob friendly group.

Researching blueprints to max then selling them is another slow but steady way. Look up the youtube guide on this. 80mil investment plus a couple of months maxxing a cruiser blueprint can make a nice return if you're patient

another option is flying a Worm in T1 abyssals which even on an alpha is a solid 50mil/hr.

FW is another option for you as well as exploration.

If you're a miner, an option for you is the Mining Barge Expert System. This lets you rent skills to fly a Mining Barge for a week so you can do that even on an Alpha. Its pretty easy to pay the Expert System off within the week and still have isk left over.

>get enough isk to buy plex as a f2p?
the only limitations on this are your actual knowledge of the game and isk assets you have to start with. has nothing to do with in-game skillpoints or Omega/Alpha status.

Omega is one of those things that's easier to maintain once you're Omega.
3 char slots with 6 planets each all doing PI will pay for 2/3rds of Omega on their own, then the rest you can make up with casual hour or two every few days of playtime.
ultimately, grinding for Omega with isk sucks a lot of the fun out of the game when you could just do 1 hour of overtime on a public holiday and make 3 month's worth of Omega that way instead.
>>
>>1506655
>overwhelmed by the amount of SP I'll need to skill completely into doctrines

Omega for 1 week is 10 plex at the moment and everyone just got given 10 free plex.

Meanwhile gallente has Keres, the most broken EWAR frigate. Minmatar has Hyena, Wolf, Jaguar, Stiletto, and even T1 has the most based ship of all, Rifter. Caldari is also decent with Buzzard, the best exploration frigate, Kitsune, Hawk and of course Heron, the 2nd most based ship in the game.
>Destroyers
The only use a Coercer has is ganking abyss divers in Highsec. That's it. Dragoon is trash, navy coercer is a joke. Confessor, Heretic and Pontifex are whatever.
Meanwhile, Gallente has Catalyst and Algos, both very good ships. And while Eris and Magus are whatever, Hecate is one of the best solo hunting ships out there and can be relatively easily fit for sub 1s align and resistance to smartbombs for highsec/lowsec transport. Minmatar has Trasher and TFI, excellent offensive ships, Sabre, the best dictor in the game, Bifrost, the best boosher in the game and Svipul best destroyer for wormholes. Caldari T1 is whatever, but they have Stork - a good boosher, Flycatcher -2nd best dictor and of course Jackdaw, best PVE destroyer in the game.

Amarr is just trash trash trash trash.

It's when someone joins your corp, or militia in this case, with the specific intent to shoot you. Because the militia has an NPC corp, there is no way to kick them out.
Sometimes it's enemy militia members doing it to mess with you, sometimes it's just some dude doing it because he thinks he's an elite spy or idk what.

Technically the best deals are the 2-for-1 extractor sales — flip the extractors for ISK and use it to buy PLEX (it's an even better deal if you wait for a PLEX sale before you buy any) — but the next extractor sale won't be for a while since there was one a couple weeks ago. Just buy Omega now if you like the game and want to play it seriously, it's not worth spending months as an Alpha for a slightly better deal.
>>

>he starts hitting the faction rat (why?)
there are a bunch of exploits that involve attacking your own faction's rat in the plexes.
in Battlefields, doing it, then glitching yourself inside the capture beacon stops the rats coming in the capture zone allowing you to solo capture it without having to kill the NPCs.

>awox
awox was a famous player many many years ago who would use blue alts to tackle corpmates, then kill them with his neutral main character.
now the term "awox" is a catch all term for killing friendlies.
in the context of FW, its Chinese nullsec alliances 10boxxing alpha algos pilots with a VPN and farming FW sites 23/7, and killing anyone that warps in including people in their own faction.

Its been an issue for 10-15 years but CCP are too retarded/lazy to type one line of code that would just kick them from FW for teamkilling.
They get around it at the moment because they use a few hundred alpha alts with positives standings to keep the corp's average standing above 0.0, keeping them in FW.

Rough example: up to 30 something people can all cash in a Battlefield for full reward which is 150k LP, which is about 150mil.
If you clear a BF on your own with 30 accounts you make around 4.5bil for 20-30min work.
Its no different to ppl multibox botting Homefronts.

So yeah, like every MMO ever, it all boils down to lazy retarded devs too busy sucking dicks to bother fixing exploits, botters, RMT and hackers.

The problem is getting kicked from your militia for killing each other wouldn't even fix it. It's not uncommon to see 10 Frat pirate militia and 10 Frat empire militia working together to kill everyone that's not them.

Shitter here from previous thread.

I tried some frigate PvP, and I did nothing but lose hull after hull. Then suddenly I started getting some kills....

Most of it comes from picking fights. In the beginning I went for everything. Now I don't. There's little point in

My problem now is security status, I had an unblemished record but now it's getting quite low. That sucks.
It's also surprisingly hard to find fights proper.... even in systems with 50+ people it's still dead quiet, and I look around the entire system. Suggestions on where to go?

There's a surprising amount of people who "bait" in PvP systems. They got this shitty alt in a venture doing fuck all, what's the point? If they want a fight, just bring your ship already. What the fuck. Who needs to bait in a fucking war zone?
>>

Eve's in so dire need of a complete rework to this shit that people have to play 5D Underwater Chess to trick people into fights, because retards will just up-ship or 50v1 unless they 150% know they will definitely win, or else they wont engage.
Its been like this for decades.

When I was first starting solo PVP I ended up having to fit guns to Logistics frigates/cruisers because its all people would engage.
Now I just use T1 destroyers because nullfags are retarded and willingly afk Approach you to 0km if you're in a Thrasher
>>
>>1512226
No. There is no guarantee you aren't just a someone's alt bating for easy kills in your blingy ship. Or you're actually a good player in blingy ship farming kills. With expensive pod of course. Ships itself can counter each others very hard if you keep in mind average popular fits. There is no guarantee that you're alone either.
>Thrasher
No one fly T1 destroyers in null so if I see Thrasher I will instantly think about fleet of Thrashers ready to jump on me from near gate or new sig
>>
>>1512391
>>1512226
It's true.

It does however lead to a "meta-game" of cat and mouse, of tricking the tricker. I have spotted several common "baiters", which I know how they fly, and it should be trivial to counter-gank them. I just need to convince someone I know to come do it with me, which is hard because eve is y'know.... zzzZZZz to most people. Even though it is THE game ever.

Other than that.... they had proving grounds which could be fun. But it did lead to tryhards maxxing out pods and all that.

The cost of PvP is also prohibitively high, unless you fly shitfits which make you lose.

>lowsec
>>
>>1512544
There's nothing to do with Dreads in Lowsec unless you want to do CRAB beacons, but that's not advisable. Making isk in lowsec is just waiting for CCP to add some random ass one off limited time even that funnels trillions of isk into your pockets directly before they remove the content two weeks later.

Man, I'm still butthurt about what they did with the Drifter invasion sites. Those sites were more content than what comes with most expansions, then they literally just remove them after two weeks. What the fuck? They could have been a fantastic bit of content scattered through lowsec but CCP is just like "lol nah we're just getting rid of them entirely too bad".

It was a site with drifters that were just copypasted from the overworld so they had the DD and oneshotted 4b golems.
>>
>>1513267
Most people didn't because CCP so intelligently put them exclusively in space controlled by only a handful of groups. They were basically Incursions except good. Most people couldn't do the content because of where it was.
Other anon is retarded, Marauders couldn't enter the sites.
>>
>>1513289
That's part of what kept me out too, to form a fleet for content, figure out what we need, pick a day to get into the systems in question, and have a decent chance that we don't have what we need and things will go wrong was too big of risk. It's not like we all get shitfit T1 cruisers and don't care if we get blapped on the way, from what I understood the sites needed some investment to do properly. The little time I had to play during the week I'd rather spend doing something fun instead of trying to figure out new content that won't even be around for over a week.

>>1513323
The sites were restricted to BC's and down, so a lot of people were using Command ships, which is neat because they don't get much use. It had a variety of different enemy types, including high DPS snipers, short range brawlers etc. Some people used Logi, others didn't. The groups who were able to run them a lot made literally trillions of isk off it though, who would have thought giving them exclusive access to Officer drops would make them rich, right?

More reason to undock Command ships and Logi is always a plus in my book, they were a much better designed encounter than Incursion were. I legitimately don't understand how CCP can put out good content like that as a limited time event, but then turn around and push out expansions with objectively less content and all of it being undercooked. Like, it goes to show there's obviously people at CCP who are capable of making interesting content, which means the leadership at CCP are intentionally not letting that content be developed.
>>
>Logi

>>
>>1513472

>>

>>
>>1513581
Just make the sites pay out mostly in LP instead of ISK. This makes people convert the LP into items to sell on the market which makes prices balance based on the number of people doing incursions. If too many people do them, the LP becomes worthless, if people stop doing them, it goes up in value.
>>
>>1513596
as long as people buy more plex right?
>>
>>1513598
Are you trying to say that somehow removing ISK from activities will make it hard for you to buy stuff? The price of goods is determined by the total amount of ISK in the system, shit like incursions, blue loot, abyssal loot, and bounties cause it to climb. Remove the ISK faucets and the price of goods go down.
>>
>>1513613
>The price of goods is determined by the total amount of ISK in the system
leave high-sec
>>
>>1513617
Quit talking out of your ass. The more ISK people have to throw around, the more expensive things will be. Anyone with the most basic of economic sense would know that, you gain nothing by being a contrarian.

The problem in EVE is that every time CCP introduces something new, they usually make it pay in ISK, and to make it attractive to veteran players, they have to make it pay more than what was previously out. This has created a runaway effect where newer activities pay more and more ISK and obsolete old content, with a few glaring exceptions that have simply been optimized to death. The other problem is EVE's playerbase is shrinking and is made up of more veteran players than ever, meaning anyone and everyone has the knowledge to farm more ISK than the population at large in the past, further injecting more ISK into the game. Add the Chinese influx on top of all this and you have a recipe for PLEX going from 300m ISK/mo to the 3b we're currently at.

Cutting ISK payouts of content where the risk doesn't match the reward would help diversify the game's ecosystem by making more types of content viable as a source of income. The best solution would be to introduce very level ISK payouts for many activities where you can make a similar amount of raw ISK doing whatever you want, but have each one provide unique commodities that could be converted into ships, modules, and other useful items. As we saw with scarcity, when you lock commodities to certain areas that are similar in difficulty, the harder to get items go up in value and the easier ones go down. You can still have people rewarded for doing hard content in this way while providing a baseline of ISK that enters the economy which would fix the massive spike in prices in the last few years.
>>
>>1513661
>defending scarcity
i didn't realize a ccp jew actually posted here
conflict drives isk prices, nobody fights anymore so isk is out of control
>>
>>1513675
Conflict drives the amount of available ships and modules in the ecosystem which only indirectly affects their prices. Prices for basic goods have risen not because of fighting or no fighting, but because scarcity forced people to gather resources in low sec where large bot armies couldn't effectively operate like they could in null.

The mineral economy has been built around botting and scarcity was CCP's attempt at combating it. And it worked, except it worked so well that Isogen prices skyrocketed to the point where no one could afford what people were asking for it. Almost everything in the game is built from it in part, and with supply at an all time low, even shit like T1 cruisers started costing 15m ISK. After five years, CCP finally admitted they needed those mining bots in null to help keep prices low because without commodities all they did was farm ISK in Ishtars. ISK kept being injected into the system while commodities were not, leading to an oversupply of ISK and an undersupply of goods.

CCP would've done far better to ask "why aren't people acquiring goods post-scarcity?" If they would've realized the reason was the amount of minerals gathered by actual people compared to multiboxed fleets in null was way too fucking low they might've had a chance at fixing things. Instead they just put botting back to null to at least try and get prices to drop.
>>
scarcity is good though
>>
You want more isk to continue flying carrier, dreads and marauders which you don't need, any honest player knows you only need to fly t1 cruisers and BCs to get around.

Astras are cheap enough to be disposable, i don't know how much an athanor is exaclty but they're probably not too much more. Just flip them once they're yours so you can get whatever loot they leave behind and there's a good chance you break even just off that.

>>1514426
So both structures should only be like two weeks of income. I assume you're in like a c4 or c2 or something right? Relatively low odds of an eviction. Flip the structures anyway, people can see how old they are by comparing the structure ID to one of their own structure, if they've been up for a while someone might decide to shoot them purely on the chance that they have decent loot., and if you're a small operation then you aren't really going to be able to fight them off if they know what they're doing.

More than likely the corp has no reason to cause you problems. At worst, they'll probably want you to pay a tax or communicate with them regularly. They could decide to block your docking, but they can't actually steal your assets, only force you to eject them into space to collect them.

I know when my corporation moved into a wormhole, I studied the exit for months to see who all the locals were that were living out of their Epithals and gave each of them docking access. I then offered 90% Jita buy for their PI so they don't even have to take it to high sec because then I'm making some extra ISK and they're saving a lot of time for all those PI alts. I even gave them extra Epithals so they don't have to drag in new ones if they get killed. Sure, there's a risk that they could work as a wormhole seed and bring in a fleet to fight us, but why would they bother? We'd all stand to lose if they did that, just like I have no reason to kick them.

Holy fuck I could’ve never imagined that this game could’ve gotten worse. Logged back on for the first time in years. I quit when it became Leshaks online. I used to PvP almost exclusively with marmite. Then I went solo because that kinda gameplay was and is gayer than aids.

Plex and alts have always been a thing but holy shit it’s never been this bad lol. This shit is just like every other free to play MMO, just wait they’ll add “premium” ammo any day now so that you can “play” with your 2+ chars and dunk on anyone who isn’t paying for multiple subs. For fuck sake just let this rotting corps of a game die.

Leshaks are actually bad in real pvp.
>>
>>1515409
What’s “real PvP”? The leshak and praxis make t1 battleships obsolete in PvP. The only ship that I can think of that isn’t outshined in its original roll by those two is the Scorpion.
>>
blobshit isn't pvp
>>
EVE doesn't have real PvP, so ignore anyone talking about it.
>>
>>1515432
The Leshak is more comparable to Navy BS in terms of price and effectiveness, and it's extremely easy to cuck with tracking disruptors. People use leshaks but the days of leshaks being the primary fleet ship are long gone.
>>
>>1515476
I'm surprised how effective the ramp up nerf was at putting the final nail in the coffin. Leshaks were still just flat out better than pulse apocs and such before then, but making their starting DPS 25% lower finally did them in fully.
>>
>>1515479
It's not really that alone. People just realized you can put unbonused TDs in your mids with other heavy armor BS, then you just repeatedly cycle through half a dozen Leshaks and break their spools over and over with Optimal Range scripts. One TFI can make it basically impossible for as many Leshaks as they can target to get to a decent spool.

Leshaks are still good to have but if you bring only leshaks you're just going to get turbocucked, you need other ships that are less vulnerable to TDs in order to force your opponents fleet to use other ewar in their mids.
>>
>>1515484
Prior to the nerfs, a completely unspooled Leshak did the same damage as a pulse apoc though. It was an objectively superior ship, having higher damage and better tracking before even getting in to the fact that it could ramp up to deal 2.5x the DPS.

But yeah, I think it was also a change to the PvP meta that helped kill it too. They were vulnerable to having their ramp reset before, but now being knocked back down to base damage is crippling. There's still huge fleets of Triglavian ships flying around, but it's most Drekavacs now.
>>
>>1515501
Yeah but the apoc is just absolute dogshit, that's not a reflection on any other ship. Apocs are just dogshit even in comparison to Absolutions which arent even a battleship.

Eve is a special kind of autism simulator because it caters to a wide blend of spazzes: try hards, socially isolated boomers with codependency issues, failed middle managers who want to play act being important, spreadsheet number crunchers, lore retards…

Eve lore used to be neat though or at least the world building.
Humans in space getting reset to 0 and then returning to space mostly independently only to discover some others had not only beaten them to it by thousands of years but they had already fucked off to god knows where.

eve lore is cool because it's so human-centric, it's basically a cyberpunk setting in space - it's not focused on mysterious precursor artifacts or grand wars against ayys or high-stakes shit like that, it's focused on people fucking each other over for petty small-scale reasons. the lore is at its best when it's about politics and intrigue and it's at its worst when it's about fighting evil jovian niggas with ancient artifacts, which is why the lore went to shit with the drifters/jamyl sarum stuff and never really recovered desu

Capsuleers being immortal is a cope. When you die you die, your mind is simply copied to another body and to keep up the illusion only one copy is active at any time. SOMA style.

Being a highly versatile class of Minmatar ships, the Bellicose has been used as a combat juggernaut as well as a support ship for wings of frigates. While not quite in the league of newer navy cruisers, the Bellicose is still a very solid ship for most purposes, especially in terms of long range combat.

It’s an old sci fi trope that’s really just the Ship of Theseus question. If a wooden ship is, over the course of time, slowly replaced board by board, piece by piece, until none of the original ship is left, then is it still the same ship?

If I take all of your thoughts, your memories, your emotions, and I move that schema into a new brain by flipping the right switches, mirroring your neurons, getting all the chemicals and receptors exactly the same, is it really “you”, or just an excellent copy. Would the original “you” cease to exist, or would your consciousness or “soul” be transferred as well?

I don't know what they call this fallacy but we do know how consciousness and computers work. One is neurons firing while the other is transistors firing. There probably isn't a single human bean alive who could accurately describe how me pressing buttons on a keyboard turns into a graphical representation of my post on the screen in real time and then gets sent to your computer when I hit post but that doesn't make it magic. Human mind isn't magic in the same way, neurons operate with simple chemical reactions that we understand fairly well and consciousness can be derived from those first principles, just because no one can accurately pinpoint it happening doesn't mean it's not true.

I just assume there's multiple concepts that make up a person. Yeah, there's a consciousness of the body, there's a soul in the theological sense, but as far as this world is concerned, there is a Will that we all have, a set of ideas and demands we wish to force upon the world. "I" may not exist after being cloned or after my body is destroyed or any number of other things, and that's fine, if my soul returns to where it was destined to go, all is as it should be. But why would I ever not want to leave behind a linger Will that will continue to do my bidding and influence the world even after I'm gone?

I don't even care if it doesn't inhabit a meat body, if it's a ghost or a machine or just a psionic projection or what have you. It could even be just the other lives I've affected and influenced who's own actions will always carry me forth by virtue of being influenced by my presence, even from eons ago. I'll continue to exert force upon the world long after my passing, and as far as the physical side of things is concerned, that's a form of immortality in and of itself.

That's what CCP is trying to do with Frontiers — they're not banning multiboxing but they're going out of their way to make it difficult and inefficient. It's a good idea but it's never going to work thanks to the play-to-earn crypto bullshit. Poch is already 70% RMTers from third-world countries where ISK is more valuable than the actual currency; just imagine how much more dedicated they'll be once RMT is officially condoned and encouraged.

they're not really trying to attract current eve players (but a lot will probably try it even if it's only to secure a presence for their corp, i mean some of you niggas played eve fucking echoes), they're trying to attract cryptofags by being the first crypto video game that actually feels like a video game

CCP is pretty well known as a slow dev, mostly because they waste time on meme projects like this in the first place. You have to understand that crypto was still hot 2 years ago, NFT boom happened in spring of 2022. If you look at it from that perspective making a crypto game in 2024 is exactly what you would expect from CCP. Consider their history, Dust 514 is a FPS game well past when FPS games were all the rage, Valkyrie is a game from 2016 for a system from 2012. From that perspective being 2 years late is not even that big of a deal... except of course the fact that crypto itself is much faster boom bust product than the genre of fps. Like it could be worse, take something like Concord which is bad overwatch clone released 8 years after the original.

And all in all the idea itself isn't even that bad if we ignore the inherent badness that is crypto. Like if you were forced to make a crypto game then this is what it probably should look like. EVE has an autistic, adult and wealthy playerbase both used to regularly paying but also believe market pvp is something that is fun by itself. Being realtime and slow allows for all sorts of things that can be gated behind tokens or coins so you don't end up in the axie infinity scenario where the only reason to get their token is to sell it to someone else without incentive to actually buy. Basically you can have a real market which is necessary for something that isn't just an vehicle for speculation with lots of ways to tune it which eve economy has. It's still a dead on arrival idea because it's crypto but I can see how in 2022 some abyss execs thought this was a good idea and how in 2024 they still think they may as well push it out the door to recoup their losses.

I wonder if somebody in CCP has had this incredible idea of making the game better and making people naturally want to play it instead of implementing various daily fomo buttons to press?

I think it'd be fine if the tasks were slightly harder but were weekly based. Paying Evermarks for completion would be fine if there was a good way to grind out a bunch at one time.

As it stands right now though, I have enough Evermarks on all of my characters to complete the dailies for four or five months straight, but being able to grind out a week's worth of Evermarks in one sitting even if it took an hour would be nice.

>Frat feeding titans on a misclick again

they were good before. 15-30sec per character to make 350k SP and 30mil isk per month.

but like everything CCP loves fucking up content that's fine while ignoring shit that's being botted or exploited, like FW awoxxing by the chinese, Homefront botting by the chinese or AIR Career SP farming by the chinese
>>
>>1523321
It was even better than you'd think. Even with a conservative estimate, 10k SP is worth about 8m ISK if you literally buy extractors and sell injectors directly to the market. That means every alpha account you have sitting with three characters in a rookie system to complete the dailies with in under a minute pays 1m ISK (Two dailies)+8m ISK of SP per day you log on and another 60m ISK for the monthly SP bonus. That means one account logged on to once a day for a month makes you 990m ISK from skill extraction after you hit 5m SP and you don't even have to pay anything for it.

If you're buying PLEX/extractors during sales, you can add another 500m ISK to that. It's the single most time efficient ISK farm in the game, done in perfect safety and it's amazing the injector market hasn't completely crashed from it.

if it takes you 10 minutes a day to complete the dailies on each account thats 200m/hr

you also need to be omega to extract which probably means waiting for free/very cheap omega during expansion or event

really not as gamebreaking as you seem to think
meanwhile the other abusive sp farm technique nets you 800m for about ten minutes of effort

>>
>>1523327
>it's amazing the injector market hasn't completely crashed from it.
It actually has. SP farms are currently isk negative and the profit in them comes not so much from the LP as it does from buying extractors on sale and selling the injectors when the price recovers.
And a major reason why is because some people had farms of alpha accounts that they extracted during the free week.

Can someone help me understand what EVE Frontier is? I just got an email asking for money for it and it doesn't seem to be a PC shooter or mobile game, and I'm not really sure what a blockchain game is or what the basic gameplay loop is supposed to be other than "survival sandbox" which I thought EVE was kind of like anyways?

I haven't played regular EVE in like a decade either but somehow that message popped up just now in my email.
>>
>>1525673
It's something extremely stupid. Some have described it as a scam and that's arguably true.
The gameplay itself is EVE Online, but built specifically to accommodate RMT. And the game itself is very sparse in comparison in its current iteration, with few ships and systems.

I just can't seem to get back into EVE. What are my best options for solo PvE?

Abyssals I guess. For me, even though they're solved as far as challenge goes, joining Homefront or Incursion fleets is a lot more worth my time than any solo pve. Sometimes a group like Eve Rookies does dual-standings Pochven fleets and stuff.
>>
>>1526477

Those niggers don't play Eve. I know 1 or 2 pajeet who play Eve Echoes. But Eve Online is inherently a white man game.

>>1526332
PI makes 1.5bil/mo with an extremely lazy passive setup that takes 5min a day to maintain.
After that you can just casually log in 1-2h 2-3 times a week and effortlessly pay for Omega and then some.
Then there's other shit like market, blueprints, reactions and skill extraction as well to add more.

The only "giant" alliances in null would be goonswarm federation, pandemic horde, fraternity and the initiative.

https://evemaps.dotlan.net/alliance/memberCount

Even the 5th biggest, Brave is noticably smaller than the 4th. Take a look at the sov map and decide which one of the smaller alliances and their position on the map you like and start looking from there.

https://www.verite.space/maps/influence/influence.png

Now if you are talking about nullBLOCS then there's only 2 currently. But that might change starting next year since Initiative, PH and I dunno who else have pledged that they'll do a standings reset so we might actually get a couple new blocs forming. We'll see.

My bad, their ticker is CL0T, corp name Tide of Carnage. I highly recommend them and Edict corps for amarr FW corp/alliance.

As for null. Down south, to the east and south of Stain. We're not in a mega alliance, though we are part of Imperium coalition so mega block. I'm looking forward to the INIT reset next year. Less blue space is better. We get plenty of fights nearby and as a corp do a lot of small gang, filament fleets, fw fleets, ess, etc. We do that more than the mass blob stuff you think of from null. That's available but as a corp most of our guys interests are in more personal pvp than anchor and shoot. Put an app into Vindicta Optime and I'll pm you in game later to answer questions and give more details.

For the longest time what I thought I wanted was to get involved in some kind of small group PvE stuff as a battleship pilot, incursions or whatever the thing is now, but the way I play is too inconsistent to actually be part of an organized group.

PvP is too autistic. The EVE player base doesn't have a healthy population of new players and casuals, it's mostly ultra tryhard nolifers participating in PvP and the only way to have 'fun' is to try and get on their level which removes all fun from it and leads to the only satisfaction being a thin gruel of killmail driven dopamine.

I have considered factional warfare, but PvP in this game is mostly griefing and gatecamping outside of nullsec corp wars.

Most fun I ever had in EVE was running a web frigate in major fleet battles. I earned my rifter hero status in like 2012. Like you say though, the battles only happen rarely and the reat of the time you're stuck in some nullsec shithole with nothing to do but drunk roams or gate camps which are gay.
>>
>rifter
>>
>>1530446
I flew with a corp that was in Goonswarm and TEST at different times and back then rifters were the cheap disposable web frigate of choice for their fleet comp. One time I successfully tagged a dread and it got popped by about 200 Rokhs right before I died and it was great. Shortly after they switched to a Malestrom based fleet comp. Idk, I don't really follow this stuff anymore.

Most of the reason Eve's doing so well now is people getting dickteased by how shit Starfield was, then everyone wanting a space game.

They play a couple of other space games only to realise that the genre is shit, then after 10,000 hours in Space Engineers they give up and come here.

eh gatecamping is like going fishing with the boys.
mostly afk for a few hours shooting the shit, then you casually pop the one thing that comes through and call it a night.
its lazy, easy PVP that can be done in cheap ships and only takes a min to set up
>>
>>1530706
I would fucking die if I had to prepare a 250 man fleet more than once a week. The amount of planning and coordination that goes in to one is akin to completing a painting or other work of art, accounting for hundreds of unique personalities and behaviors and somehow still getting everyone on the same page together takes nothing short of a miracle.

There's a sense of accomplishment after the fact, but everything leading up to it makes you feel like you're drowning. It's like a drug in reverse, where you start with the withdrawal and then get the high.

wow so hard for literal 40,000 man alliances to do holy shit
>>
>>1530712
I don't have a navy apoc
>>
>>1530712
Not at all. It's more like contacting a few dozen corporate heads who are responsible for getting their guys together, finding out that each one has a varying level of preparation, trying to get a headcount before the formation over who's bringing what, accounting for the fact that half of your planned logistics won't show up, the scout's fallen asleep again, your dictor pilot is bad and is likely to bubble the fleet, and some chucklefucks refuse to merge their fleets and so they're shooting/jamming friendlies half the time.

Either that or your doorstop has fallen asleep, but you don't know how much mass remains on the exit so jumping out will either take a HIC that no one can fly except for two guys who are more important elsewhere, so you basically have to throw a newbie through an exit and explain to them we have no way to get them back in. When the next exit opens, half the rollers are AFK and so a third of the enemy fleet slips through before you can get a handle on things, but they're too small to beat anyone in a standup fight so you spend time chasing them around until they safelog or you catch them.

>>1530716
See? This is the sort of bullshit I put up with. Navy Apocs have been part of the doctrine for a year, yet half of the fleet can't even fly them.

Fly what you like.
>>
>>1530786
Generally pretty bad idea if you want to put up a fleet that's actually effective. Not only in the sense that your alliance/corp probably wants to stock up on the modules in your stations that go into your doctrine ships and having few ships and items everyone uses makes them cheaper for everyone but also because mixed fleets will inevitably degrade towards the lowest common denominator, which is cheap sniper ships because you don't want to be the guy that has the shortest range and any damage gets you into killmails. That's a race to the bottom of shitfit cruisers and frigates that only exist to get into killmails but are worthless in an actual fight.
>>
>cheap sniper ships
more like fast ships with good cargohold
>>
>nigga think I will spec into a napoc becasue he said so
>>
>>1530790
Nothing stopping you from fitting your oracle with a mwd and afterburner and cargo extenders.
>>
>>1530788
I've tried giving parameters before (X amount of EHP, Ykm range, Z DPS) but for the most part it does make it far more difficult to coordinate. For example, I had a guy who wanted to fly Brutixes in fleets and I told him he could if he kept his own stockpile, the minute fighting starts and he's reshipping to his third one he tells me that's the last of his ships and he can't fight anymore after that. Not to mention he skimped on the fit and couldn't meet the EHP requirements.

Now I just let the other corporate CEOs handle their own guys' doctrines. It's still messy, but at least now I know I had 15 shitfit Brutixes in the fleet that all behave similarly and giving commands to them is worth it, when you have a massive hodgepodge of ships with different fittings and you're trying to get them all to behave like snipers it's next to impossible to relay meaningful orders.

Yes, and that's what makes it fun. You have a core that's a legitimate corp of people who actually want to be there, but then you have the challenge of a horde of shitters that you have to wrangle. It's all about weight of numbers combined with a strong center.

>>1531439
Not him, but there's a threshold you cross at some point with a corporation. At the basic level, you have a group of loosely affiliated dudes working together, then you take a step up and the organization increases with actual structure. The final step before becoming a real corp is knowing that you can transfer power to the next people in line and the corporation continues to function as it always has. That it becomes a gestalt entity that survives the original leader(s) stepping down or going on extended break without dying.

"MATARI could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this constellation before. There could be MATARI anywhere." The space snow felt good against his bare skin. "I HATE MATARI" he thought. All Which Was Lost Has Now Been Regained reverberated his entire ship, making it pulsate even as the 9 ISK Standard Blue Pill Booster circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of tribals after downtime. "With an Amarr Shuttle, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
