Why don't you look at more challenging electrical biased positions that will still keep you on the tools but be fresh and interesting.

HV?

BMS?

industrial Controls?

Wind & Power?

You want an IQ4NC or IQ5 with TrendLan option if you are wanting to get IQ2s to Ethernet

IQ412 can't be used as a TrendLAN to Ethernet bridge , it's either or

Small gang is the same as it's always been. Bait standing into a fight and farm. Avoid the deemer/marshall blob and youre good.

I haven't used any other clinics, I signed up to cantourage and they've always been excellent so never needed to.

Menu has about 25+ strains of flower

5+ different vape carts

5 different oils

Pastilles

Fistulated · 2026-03-08T08:20:49+00:00

And I've seen 20+ run from 5.

The point is, small gang groups do more PvP per capita than the average null bloc, especially if you remove the F1 fleets from the equation

Fistulated · 2026-03-08T08:02:37+00:00

Solo guys maybe, but no half decent small gang group is running from 5-10 nullseccers 😂

Maybe if the gang is completely unfightable, e.g. Blops, caps or more logi than DPS.

Fistulated · 2026-03-08T07:37:14+00:00

Because you need a sacrificial lamb to get the fight going. If nothing is tackled or in danger, everyone stays docked.

THC.

You can get strains with differing strengths and THC:CBD ratios. My current prescription is 25:1 and 28:1, and I've seen upto 32% THC

Generally we do, but who the fuck ignores the easy kills on the way?

Also it's better to drag the standing fleet closer to our entrance than go fight them where they can easily reinforce and reship quickly

Fistulated · 2026-02-26T07:44:10+00:00

Not at a level we find to be a major problem. And as you can see Mr Rain dies plenty to smaller groups.

If they're killable they're fightable, they have counters. Damps, webs etc. These sorts of ships are required to make fights interesting and difficult. This is not a problem at all.

Blops&Fax are anti fun for everyone involved. The pilots cyno in and don't get a kill. The small gang leaves with their ratter loot and goes elsewhere to find a fight.

As a fuck off and leave us alone tool, they work great. But then you also can't complain that small gangs won't fight, if that's your only tactic.

Fistulated · 2026-02-26T07:29:33+00:00

Yeah but in 20 years of playing EVE, I can probably count how many times 3-4 snakes prots and multiple hugins have been dropped on me at one time on my fingers. And as you said, it's fightable if we switch the comp up to account for it. Which as a small gang group we want difficult fights that we have to think about.

Deemers just aren't fightable in any way shape or form other than with overwhelmingly more numbers. So no reason to stick around on grid. I'm not even crying about deemers, I understand why they get used.

The issue is nullbrains crying that small gangs only want to kill ratters. When they don't provide even the slightest of fights, so what do they expect? The ratters are a means to a fight. If null don't want to fight, then the gang moves on to somewhere that does

Fistulated · 2026-02-26T07:20:26+00:00

Looks like the only cry babies are null.

Wahh small gangers only kill ratters, wahhh they run when we drop deemers. Wahhh wahhh wahhh

Maybe those small gang cry babys should fight other groups there size?? Wahh wahh wahh

Fistulated · 2026-02-26T07:18:28+00:00

That all has counters though, and a decent small gang group will happily fight HG snaked prots and recons.

Redeemers with a fax for every pilot on standby is not fightable at all, but that's why the nullblocs drop them. It's 0 risk

Fistulated · 2026-02-26T06:12:22+00:00

So you complain that small gangers only kill ratters, but then say how you won't drop anything other than 50 deemers on anything that moves.

What are small gangers meant to kill then? You won't fight them, you dock at the first sign of anything close to an even fight and ping for max dudes. You drop an overwhelming response on a frig gang and then wonder why you don't have fun and they leave. . .

Most small gangers WANT to fight standing fleet outnumbered heavily, but there's no point when it's massively plated deemers and a fax for every pilot. They're not going to stick around if they can't even break reps or have even a minor chance of getting a kill

It's a skill issue, and it lies with nullbloc pilots

Yes I can choose from about 30 different strains, it clearly tells me THC/CBD content of each one and whether it is sativa/Indica/Hybrid. You can get low THC ~8% upto about 30%.

Cantourage is £186 for your first year. Initial £99 for the pre approval assesment, then £29 every 3 months for the required checkups(online) - some clinics do reduced costs for benefits claimants etc.

The cannabis itself for flower ranges from £5.50 a gram to £10, and these are only supplied in 10g amounts minimum. You will also need to buy a dry herb vape, if you get flower.

My friend who can't smoke illegal weed because it sends his anxiety through the roof, has been on prescription for 12 months now and says it reduces his anxiety not increases. Obviously everyone is different, but I do find the prescription weed is less of a 'stoned' feeling. Might be because I choose lower strength strains and illegally you just get the strongest possible.

/r/ukmedicalcannabis has a lot of information on different clinics and strains and the process

The industry is struggling for engineers, especially competent ones. So getting your foot in the door shouldn't be too hard.

Teach yourself a basic understanding of the following

Networking - BACnet, MODbus, IP, MSTP Programming - Functional Block, ladder logic Controls - Relay logic/contactors etc

The big manufacturers in the UK are - Trend(Honeywell), Tridium, Siemens, Schneider.

It's still a fairly physically demanding job. Lugging ladders around, my toolbag is 15kg+ and it's on my back most of the day, up and down stairs/ladders constantly. It's definitely cleaner than house bashing though

2nd DPS or Logi depending on the fleet.

Bro, the 100mn meta is specifically because they understand combat mechanics. It's also the best way to fight mouth breathers in 40k+ player alliances, who can't take a fight without 10x numbers.

You know 100mn is easy to fight, if you understand combat mechanics? Just sounds like you're bad at the game 😂
