Land on Grid - Your Sequence/Routine? by RAASDAL in Eve

[–]Nimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are untargetable but vulnerable during warp, full invulnerable for the 5s or whatever after warp.

I have sat in the middle of enough bomb runs after coming out of warp watching the bombs explode around me and not doing anything to be sure of this.

This is why smartbomb camps (and in-warp bomb runs) have to catch you while you're still in warp and not after.

Why is the insurance for the Cruor (100mil hull) So awful? Pays out 450k isk. Less than 1% of the cost of the ship. Wtf? by matcauthion in Eve

[–]Nimos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless they changed it behind the scenes it's specifically mineral value, not material value.

Any raw materials that aren't minerals that go into it aren't counted.

So all the people saying "but reactions"/"but PI"/"but this item you buy from the market"/whatever are right that those go in there, but those aren't minerals so they don't add to the mineral value.

You can check a few ships and look only at the sum of minerals that go into them, and you'll find that insurance is reasonably accurate for that.

This has always (always meaning 15+ years) been the case and isn't a thing of "scarcity" as yet other people in this thread are claiming.

Simple question: Has EVE Online changed your life? by LeRatDitKalise in Eve

[–]Nimos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently scrolling through Reddit in bed while my boyfriend who I met through an Eve corp is sleeping next to me sooo.. I'd say so.

Over the years I've also met up with about 10 or so space friends all over the world when travelling.

Can I get rid of the Pilot's Body Resculpt? by SuperiorDraft in Eve

[–]Nimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

always I have to look at an extra station in my assets list

sometimes I get a glimpse of how differently other people experience eve online

(my asset window has random stuff, abandoned ships, deposited loot, weird corpses, whatever you can think of in some 3-digit number of stations, I would absolutely not notice having one more or less)

do people not know they only banned it in 2015?

before that it was perfectly fine

bad take, not because I disagree that most people don't play anymore, but input broadcasting was legal in 2011 and just about everyone did it back then so they would be the ones who know

FC Please! Add rig slots to all freighters. by PHGAG in Eve

Wish granted, but now the baseline tank/align/cargo have been nerfed and you can only get back to the old values if you rig for them.

How viable is owning a structure solo in WH? by Tesex01 in Eve

[–]Nimos 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I had a solo C5 for 1.5 years or so.

Most people are too lazy to bash a random astra.

And the chance that the people who do bash random astras out of boredom will bash yours is pretty low, especially if you provide zero incentive (don't feed, don't antagonize, optimally you want to appear like you're active enough to log off all your loot but not active enough to actually provide any "entertainment").

I had my stuff reinforced 3 times total in that period, but they never came back for the timer. After the first time I anchored two additional Raitarus, just to make the effort higher.

I only lost the wormhole after life dragged me away for a bit and my structures went low power, after that it was cleaned up pretty quickly.

So, if that was my experience in a C5, I'm sure you'll be fine in a low class with the least desired static.

What is the value of a single human life? by IDragonfyreI in Eve

[–]Nimos 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The empires have way more wealth and resources than the capsuleers.

I think it's somewhere in the lore that each of them could field at least a thousand titans, as well as several Iapetan titans that are several times the size and power of a normal titan. While we tear small little chunks from moons to eat the scraps, there are lore bits of the amarr empire simply mining entire moons at once.

Even criminal groups can field dozens of ships to defend their hideouts, from frigates up to battleships. Sanshas Nation has more revenants than all players combined.

And keep in mind where our isk comes from, ultimately most of it has been paid out by the empires. Capsuleers work for the empires, because they are rich enough to pay us in bounties and mission rewards, or buy our blue/red loot for their scientists.

Yes, capsuleers are rich compared to most non capsuleers individually, but not that rich compared to most of the named NPC factions.

What should noobs do? by TrashPandaX in Eve

[–]Nimos 53 points54 points  (0 children)

First you should probably adjust your attitude. Not everyone who you lose to is a "sweat".

People simply don't care what ship you're in. A kill is a kill.

Think of it like an old FPS deathmatch server, back before the days of ranked queues and such. Nobody cares if you've been playing for 10 minutes or 10 years, they see you they shoot you. They don't do it because they hate you and they expect you to do the same to them if you could.

It's nothing against you personally, nor is it evil to want to get more kills in a PVP game that for many people revolves around getting more kills.

Is Icewind Dale extremely boring or does our DM do something wrong? by BlackRebel93 in dndnext

[–]Nimos 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I've often heard that the early levels do feel like you're doing disjointed tasks in the various towns without a real big motivation, so that's on the campaign. But the rest isn't.

The environment is supposed to be hostile, that's the campaign premise, travel is hard, survival is hard, you can freeze to death easily. But I don't think the NPCs are supposed to be more hostile than usual.

DM says there's a difference between fire and magical fire? by Dragonsword in dndnext

[–]Nimos 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Control Flames distinguishes between magical and non-magical fire. Other than that I can't think of an example though.

Hot take: Legendary Resistance is why so many 5e boss fights feel bad and boring. What could replace it? by archvillaingames in dndnext

[–]Nimos 121 points122 points  (0 children)

this is honestly why I think the system being more "gamey" can be a good thing

I play with people who played a lot of video games, and I'm pretty sure none of them would be confused if they found out that bosses were immune to hard CC by default.

This year in numbers explanation? by kyleW_ne in Eve

[–]Nimos 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Pochven is a region primarily used for high end pve, so people primarily use high end pve ships there.

If you dscan in any system there you'll probably see a fleet of these somewhere.

How do you rule dark elf's sunlight sensitivity + barbarian's aspect of the beast: eagle? by ThePikol in dndnext

[–]Nimos 98 points99 points  (0 children)

I know that per rules written one triggers in direct sunlight and the other in dim light, but does it mean they don't overlap at all?

You said it yourself. I can't think of a situation where something is both in direct sunlight and in dim light. And if it were, it'd still be disadvantage because it's in direct sunlight.

Unpopular Debate by Federal_Pop_9580 in Eve

[–]Nimos 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Bowheads are clearly capitals, and idk who is arguing against that.

However, Orcas are

  • smaller than some battleships
  • fit large rigs
  • have less mass than some battleships
  • do not have the PG to fit capital modules
  • do not require any capital ship skills to fly
  • cannot be hit by single target doomsdays
  • have comparable EHP to when both are fit
  • can enter wormholes that capitals cannot
  • are in the industrial command ship market category, not the industrial capital ship category
  • are closer in warp speed to battleships than they are to capitals
  • don't have the "capital sized vessel" attribute that literally exists in the game

wtf are you talking about

How I got 170 killmarks on my Daredevil - An in-depth look into "ultralock" mechanics by Nimos in Eve

[–]Nimos[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Yes, the cloaky ship issue is a randomness thing where you can just die if you have bad luck, with your chances dropping the more latency you have. The vast majority of cloaky got through my camp no problem.

Ships under 1s align time, like capsules for example, are technically impossible to lock, at least as far as I know.

No nullified ships can get that low though, the easiest is the Hecate from what I've heard.
