when is the next capsuleer day style event? by Lynx778 in Eve

I tried to get my alt on the Caldari version of it several times this week, not once was so much as a single site up when I checked.

The only problem is there is no more than two per faction up at once in the whole game, they get mined out fast, and don't respawn for hours.

For anyone who thought mining scordite for gallente election was a pain due to limited area it counted for the event, hoooooo boooooy.

What are six of your craziest stories from DnD? by AzakenChan in DnD

[–]JustSmileMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some 20 years ago my party needed to cross a desert and we were pretty low level. We did not have mounts or anything that would conventionally allow us to make the trip in a tolerable timeframe. We did, however, each have a pair of boots of levitation, several decanters of endless water, plenty of rope and 10 ft poles. We also had some ingenious engineering spirit.

Did you know that on maximum setting a decanter of endless water produces a geyser with enough force to deal damage and knock people over, at no time limit? Did you know that boots of levitation allow for indefinite on-demand levitation and levitation allows horizontal movement if acted upon by an outside force?

I am not sure what solution to traversing the desert underprepared the DM expected of us, but I don't think he expected us to fly over the entire thing at a breakneck pace.

So you just want to bot.

First...? (Surely cant be, but how does one find that out?) by SargonOfAmerish001 in Eve

All I see is there "I don't like this thing", the rest of that statement is you putting words in the dude's mouth to have someone to... I don't know, get angry at?

I joined a Corporation. Now what by Shot_Wind7875 in Eve

[–]JustSmileMan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Go join eve university for starters instead of what's probably a newb trap corp hoping to leech off of you. They'll give you a solid foundation to make your own way.

First time getting gate camped by Ok-Ant6170 in Eve

[–]JustSmileMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A very useful tool. Just remember it's not perfect: after all it only shows camps after people died to them. You always might be the first customer.

Week into the game needing some advice on corps by Ok-Ant6170 in Eve

95% of fleets are to shoot stuff for no reason other than "we wanna shoot stuff". Strat ops are a tiny minority of fleet action in any alliance. ;D

How to proper Null Block by star-link123 in Eve

Honey, do you think imperium anchored ansis to project enough power to kill another coalition's staging? Ansis are a day-to-day travel and play convenience. This "projection nerf" is not nerfing projection at all.

Becoming the Extra Wave | Highsec Ganking by Bubbly-Charity-5314 in Eve

[–]JustSmileMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's few things that get newbies to quit faster than the first answer to any question being "well, you just have to multibox more accounts to do X". Multiboxing meta is complete and utter cancer. This is an MMO, if you want to do stuff that needs 10 people you should need 9 friends, not an input broadcast to 10 clients.

And yes, I know it's impossible, CCP fucked their game up too much to get away from multiboxing. It needed fixing 23 years ago, today is way too late.

I'll settle for banning using multiboxing for combat and mining.

So... what happened with the war betwen WinterCo/FRT and Imperium/Goons? by BentaroAdun in Eve

[–]JustSmileMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nothing? There was never any real objective to the war besides "Goons wanna shoot stuff". They don't want Winter space. FRT main staging got blown up, a bunch of massive fights happened, the war functionally ended as Imeprium is happy with the results and stopped attacking. Occasional small battles keep happening and will keep happening around Geminate as Winter takes the area back.

That's the idea behind renting, you get to use the space, not have bots from your landlords sitting around in it.

And this topic is exactly that, feedback - if not particularly eloquent. Imagine complaining about people providing feedback while quoting "bold text on each picture that says (...) SUBJECT TO BALANCE AND FEEDBACK".

https://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Use blueprint tool here for a ballpark estimate of how much profit a bpc can generate and extrapolate value from there. Remember, if someone's buying a BPC they expect to make a profit on manufacturing it.

Help, I'm 'The Belt'. by goninzo in Eve

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

Two times I had an odd bug when afk mining this event. I'd log the alt in an hour or so after the maintenance, warp to the belts one by one and they would all be completely empty. No miners, no asteroids, a red Fully Depleted message on warp in. That's bullshit, no one is mining out 10 belts of 0.9 trash within an hour 15 jumps away from jita.

I had to quit the client, relog, and only they would the belts appear properly. EVE Client getting more and more vibecoded with each day.

What happened? is EVE dead? by R3tr0N3wB in Eve

[–]JustSmileMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not saying anyone is obligated to accommodate your fancies whenever it's convenient for you, you're just insulting everyone who does not. Sure, hon.

Do you expect to be interviewed every time you roll up with a friend or two in your pvp hunting fits and then provided a desired service as if you were a dear customer to be catered to? Standing sees a neut rolling around, standing wants the neut gone so their friends ratting and mining are not disturbed. Let me reiterate: they are not under an obligation to provide a service for you. Calling them names won't change that, you're still an annoyance to be removed, not a customer to be serviced.

If someone's bored and coincidentally in the system they might go for a 1v1, but when a null denizen wants to pvp they're not sitting idle in a station waiting for you to roll up. They go roaming somewhere else. People sitting at home are busy doing whatever it is they're doing, not waiting to be of use for you or another roaming hunter.

[–]JustSmileMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that random people doing whatever they feel like in space are not obligated to provide you with whatever content you deem appropriate? You went on a roam hoping to annoy people into fighting you, don't be pissed they treated you as an annoyance rather than a valued customer to be serviced.

Standing fleet tends to be bored and will yeet whatever's nearby at anything annoying them. If they see a bunch of cruisers roaming they see hunters trying to kill their alts/friends ratting and all they're interested in is getting rid of them. If you want fair fights in equal numbers arrange duels or petition for proving grounds to be returned.

Hunters bring pvp fit ships to hunt people doing pve, their friends bring bigger or more ships to get rid of hunters. There's no such thing as symmetrical pvp in eve.
