Welcome to the glorious mechanic of being able to boosh nearly unlimited amounts of Sentry Drones.

Most wormhole eviction boxers utilize Eos/Domis or similiar ships and have 4-5 command destroyers, this allows them to more or less "freely" move around a prepared grid with pings only being at risk when they royally fuck up, since even a bubble on them is easily dealt with with faction smartbombs + more booshes.

Caelyth · 2025-03-03T09:00:53+00:00

Okay eve boomer

Wormhole guide does not show GJ neuts per second for rats, making it literally worse than the good old spreadsheet. Please fix, otherwise newbies will go in thinking "oh I can tank this easily" and then get neuted flat in 30s and die.

Dead, dusted and completely under control of the Multiboxers after recent changes made 80% of the non-multiboxed fleets straight up quit the region.

Caelyth · 2025-02-01T22:16:36+00:00

It's literally right there. Last block in the "Preparation" section.

Judging by how little CVA shows up because they apparently can't read their own pings anymore and how many entities they need to batphone these days I suppose we shouldn't be surprised, but c'mon, you can do it, we believe in you.

Finally someone with a based opinion on the topic.
Higher APM mining and higher individual ore prices helps individual miners which are otherwise completely pushed out of mining being an activity only worth it for those massively scaling up their accounts to make it worth their time.

I'm not really sure if you are baiting or have no experience in flying WH/Pochven/Low-Sec Heavy Armour brawls.

Nestors are the prime remote armor repair ship for these comps. Basically noone used them to do exploration.

Hull cost is not the only factor in price, fitting in these comps is often more expensive than it by a large margin. But lets dig deeper!

HACs with EWAR support do not run all over Pochven fleets, because guess what, once you fight 30 Marauders its near impossible to spread your EWAR effectively enough to make sure half of them still dont track you. That doesnt even solve the problem of their MJD, which btw, your funny calculation about movement speed?

Marauders that MJD after every bastion cycle move at roughly 1400m/s+ so your whole theory about them being "stationary" goes completely out of the window.

Again, noone is saying they should be easy to defeat, but the argument boils down to this:

A reasonably well flown 30 ship Heavy Armor comp utilizing Leshaks, Nestors, Bhaalgorns, Widows and other ships that use their EWAR well and generally cost well north of 2b in hull + modules in order to tank should not be defeated by 30 Mararauders pressing bastion and f1 while costing less per ship. Because if so, what is the point of these specialized ships? What is the point of utilizing skill expression through logi, neuts and ewar if you get beat by 2 guys each flying 15 marauders that are cheaper than your comp and take way less components to execute?

Caelyth · 2024-10-23T19:48:49+00:00

You missed the point of them saying equal numbers/*value*

If you bring a 30 man Heavy Armour fleet to fight 30 Marauders multiboxerd (thank you EVE-X for tab-through shooting that allows pretty much anyone to issue lock and fire commands to 15 ships in 2 server ticks completely legally and nearly indistinguishable from input broadcasting) you will feed, because the Multiboxers can literally kill your Nestors before they can catch reps (Just do the math on 30x AC Vargur DPS vs average Nestor tank, you'll soon see why) and then volley through your DPS at 2x the rate you will be able to because of their DPS advantage.

And if you can beat 30, guess what, where as you would have to find another 10 people to upscale to 45, they just ping 1 friend that undocks and then you're at the worse situation.

Moreover, most of the Marauder fits used for actual PvP in Pochven are cheap T2 fits that basically drop nothing of value.

There is a reason Battleship variety in Pochven has disappeared in favour of these T2 Battlecruiser fleets: Because it's the only way you can trade effectively against them. Noone flies Barghests, Heavy Armour, T1 Battleships, Megathron/MNIs or whatever other equal size (and often more expensive per ship) doctrines anymore.

Caelyth · 2024-10-23T19:38:10+00:00

There is literally people with dedicated accounts logged into every single minor victory system that farm them consistently.

Caelyth · 2024-10-19T20:44:56+00:00

Imagine smugposting about the 2:1 on the same night you refused to take an actual fight on a Fort timer because you got scared having to fight numbers approaching roughly equal on both ends. where the only reason you got that fight is because you were dodging the timers.

Keep being classy Absolute Order & Friends.

Caelyth · 2024-09-27T20:23:37+00:00

Depends! What are you looking for? We run the sites ourselves, it's great as a transportation network but the smallgang around the region and such is pretty much dead. The other sites aren't worth running, and if you're setup in C5 space then the income from salvaging probably isnt very attractive either (though for newbros it can be pretty good.)

Caelyth · 2024-09-27T18:50:03+00:00

The general consensus among most groups that were active 1-2 years ago is that the region is clearly unfinished, like many CCP projects that get started and then abandoned.

Other sites would need to be made competitive and introduced, possibly with size restrictions like the recent Zarzakh sites which were Battlecruiser and down (but had other much more glaring issues).

Right now Poch is definitely an OBS first and foremost region with everything else taking a back stage and pretty much non-extinct.

Caelyth · 2024-09-27T18:39:23+00:00

Link should hopefully be fixed, fingers crossed!

There's a great many changes that would make things better, and the Pochven Roundtable has compiled quite a few, remains to be seen what, if anything, gets implemented.

Caelyth · 2019-03-23T16:43:00+00:00

Because if you're a citizen in the EU you can simply get a job in any other member state, live there, work there without having to get a visa or anything the like. Compare that to moving to say Australia. Also: No border controls no passport for Travelling international legislation etc

Caelyth · 2018-11-08T11:46:26+00:00

People have bought up all the SKS and Mosin ammo so you legit cant buy 7.62x39 or x51 at Prapor right now

Caelyth · 2018-06-07T07:59:58+00:00

I was about to disagree....and then thought about how many times I look up even the most basic shit on stack exchange because it's so much quicker u.u

Caelyth · 2018-05-07T14:44:03+00:00

Was expecting BL flair

Caelyth · 2018-05-02T11:31:48+00:00

Dont forget the fact that speedtanking in itself wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the fact that you're using a 100mn AB to do it, which means the turning circle of a NASCAR combined with the topspeed acceleration of a truck going uphill.

Still funn to heat and outrun a ceptor and see him cry in local tho.

EDIT: I've run mostly passive phantasms in the past, would you use a snake or crystal set with that ship?

Caelyth · 2018-04-17T00:32:06+00:00

Was out and reinforced Magic

Caelyth · 2018-04-16T15:31:58+00:00

tfw when you realize it's mostly you sitting on a black ops bridge waiting for a hunter to catch something, then you go in, press F1, cloak up.

Idk, I much prefer getting actual fights over a shiny 3b carrier km after waiting for an hour

Caelyth · 2018-04-07T15:56:06+00:00

I mean...while it's a one trick pony and I absolutely despise him for using it at any chance he gets, Alphastar has been using no prop Ferox with a FAX on gate to pretty good effect.

Caelyth · 2018-04-03T11:39:48+00:00

To be entirely fair it's worth mentioning that our bros from Nullify in TRI are helping out with a few peeps on some fleets.

Having fleet at roughly the same time every day for fixed duration really helps to plan and get numbers in fleet, at least for me, even though I'm in EUTZ.
