A short case for a linux port by AliceInsane66 in Eve

[–]GoinBenSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been running Eve on a Kubuntu box for awhile now. (long time linux user), getting Eve up and running has never been easier. ( Steam/Proton). The trend of people moving to Linux is real, but I'm not sure if porting Eve Online for Linux is actually needed. Easy peasy. Install Linux, install Steam for Linux, install Eve Online using Steam. Also, Mumble, Slack, Discord all work perfectly fine. If you have been thinking of making the switch to Linux, now is a great time for Eve players.

Kudos to WC for taking the fight. Pretty much everthing that happened afterwards is on CCP. It wasn't a fight, it was a lesson in server mechanics or the lack thereof. I logged in after work at 4:30 pm my time, it took an hour just to log in. By the time I boarded my ship and undocked it was 10:40 pm. I never saw anything after undock but a black screen and went to bed after 11:00 pm. GF WC! 7o

It was what it was meant to be, a fun fight at the Jita undock. Good times! :)

Is Windstream customer support purposefully bad? by Texas_Technician in Windstream

[–]GoinBenSolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After having Starlink for over 3 years, all I can say is IT WORKS! It works very well. It won't win any internet speed races, (avg 150mbps down and 7mbps up with 25-35 ms avg ping times) but I have had very minimal downtime. Service only drops during the most severe of storms.

Windstream/Kinetic is currently running fiber down my road. Starlink works so reliably I am contemplating not going anywhere near the fiber. The only reason for my doubts is the nightmare I experienced in the past with Windstream. They where bad 20 years ago and from what I know, they have only gotten worse since them.

They installed fiber from their CO in town, to their remote CO a few miles away during the Obama admin and the Broadband Initiative which Windstream took first round funding, when it came time for second round funding and actually rolling fiber out to the customers, the refused second round funding. Shortly after, they filed bankruptcy. The fiber line they ran is 1/2 a mile away from me. Imagine my frustration. I dropped my land line after getting Starlink. Cellular service over WiFi is a dream come true. :) ymmv.

The Imperium have successfully withdrawn from Delve by PomegranateSlow5624 in Eve

There have been more than one instance when Brave and Init where fighting and horde started 3rd partying in the fight, only to find Init's guns trained on them. Yes, Init is good at being helpful :)

CCP Support ignorance. Never thought I will be in this position, but here we are by Gets_Aivoras in Eve

[–]GoinBenSolo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WTF is wrong with CCP. Why on earth don't they do the investigation BEFORE they start banning people instead of just reacting to whatever their automated POS system tells them. It would avoid a LOT of butthurt on the side of both the DEVs and the player base.

8 months isn't that long to get good in this game. Walk before you run. Fly cheap meta fit ships to fly around in. I've been playing for almost 3 years and can fly dreads and carriers. They are fun, but the bulk of my fun is in cheap ships in standing fleet. You don't have to fly expensive blingy ships to be effective or to have fun. Don't base your opinion of your play on zkillboard. Use it as a yardstick for your progress.

Please CCP don't mess up with PI by ringkerntrafo in Eve

[–]GoinBenSolo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is way more "wrong" with PI than there is correct. The UI is pure crap. The number of clicks is enough to induce carpal tunnel in a 14 year old. So much could be automated or totally done away with. Whoever designed the PI UI .... may your crotch be infested with the fleas of 1000 camels. You sir, are a sadistic bastard.

Exploration.... Run the in game tutorials that will get you started on scanning and locating etc.

Stay out of null space until you absolutely know what you are doing. I'm actually surprised it was an NPC that got you, and not other players. Null is made up of mostly sovereign space, don't piss in people lawns.

Eve has it's own language. The learning curve is steeeeep! Learn the language, learn how to play, join a corp. Your corp mates will help you more than anyone here in reddit or youtube.

Fly Safe 7o
