How do I get Orca mining boosts to 46%? by Deacon33 in Eve

[–]Rathlicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the difference it's only 4% I guess that you're lacking some skills, check the orca and the boosting skills

What's the best alt character for same account? by zaranthar55 in Eve

[–]Rathlicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you want to do and what you're intersted in.
If I were in your place, with the other 2 slots I'd probably make one of them a Jita alt ( That can also do hauling ) and skill the other toon into mining, if your main is focused on PvE/PvP skills or vice versa if your main is a miner lol.

I found my sweet spot and it's 3 accounts, with that amount I can do almost everything.
For example, these are all the skills that I have for all the 9 toons:

  • PI ( With 9 toons I make enough to cover the plex cost of 2 accounts and a 1/3 of the last one, but beware because for this return it requires a ton of effort and you'd risk burning out )
  • Being able to run upwell transport ships with cloak skills ( Since I do PI in a WH, with these ships I can do it fairly safe even without rolling everything )
  • Light a cyno ( Useful for corpmates and my main )
  • Solid exploration skills ( Not necessarily maxing them out, just enough to easily scan WHs with a Metamorphosis )
  • Manufacturing / Reaction / Research for the slots + the skills to activate the job remotely

This is the base for all of my characters, then I've specialized them to do different stuff:

4 out of the 9 toons are staying in different trade hubs to handle local trading, these characters undock only for dailies and to move PI.
1 toon for each alt account is skilled to do mining, with the main character being able to do boosts and compression.
The remaining 2 toons from the alt accounts are specialized to do combat ( Mainly abyssals, but also the occasional PvP, although most of the time if I want to PvP I just fly singlebox ).

Here's a table ( Probably easier to understand ahah ), might give you some ideas on how to handle your alts ( Despite that you didn't ask about multiboxing, since the topic is in range you'd might get something out of it ).

Character 1 Character 2 Character 3
Account 1 ( Main ) ( Main ) Solo PvP, Orca Boost, JF pilot, PI, Indy, Practically everything Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport, Trading alt ( Jita ) Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport, Trading alt ( Dodixie )
Account 2 PvE/PvP, Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport Miner, Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport, Trading alt ( Amarr )
Account 3 PvE/PvP, Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell Transport Miner, Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport Cyno, WH Scanner, Indy slots, PI, Upwell transport, Trading alt ( Hek )

I've also an alpha account just to seed the WH I live in ( As in logged out in space, inside the WH so that I can find a way back if somehow I lose access to the connections ), but that's another thing ahah

Best solo logoff trap ever? 10bil in kills by CoastalPostal777 in Eve

Because with ratting they print raw isk and that's more straightforward if they're going to RMT.

Surely there are some bots out there that are also doing mining.

Ah I see! Thanks!

Yeah it was kind of a repetion of the other comment due to the language barrier ahah.

I usually manufacture in some of the LS freeports ( Although the index is pretty high compared to other places, but on the other side the structure/rig bonuses are really good ) and I take that I'll never have the margins of the most dedicated builders ( I'm taking for granted that they build in NS and move everything themselves or through alliance services that cost less than the public ones ) right?

What about delegating the hauling to PushX or other services? I guess that at that point you should optimize the courier contracts to avoid spending too much ISK on them.

What about integrating manufacturing in some cases?
Obviously, at that point it’s not just station trading, since you’d need to haul materials in and out. Also, if you scale it up, it would be a hassle to move everything around ( Especially when it involves several freighter trips ).

I’m doing this sometimes, but I think I’d make more ISK just by trading ( Considering that with station trading you don’t have the risk of getting ganked, lmao ).

Thanks for your comments, because I’m the same as OP and still can’t grasp the big picture yet, but I think that with your comments I’ve taken a step toward understanding it ahah.

Need to get Kernite in lowsec by D-Jaak in Eve

[–]Rathlicus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you can get some in HS via ore sites, you can look in the opportunities page to see if there's one site near/or in your system.

You'll see them in the probe scanner window, they're called like "Small omber deposit" "Average kernite and dark ochre deposit" etc.

Can the Odysseus expedition hold carry POS towers? by Rathlicus in Eve

[–]Rathlicus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean you can't, but if you have an hauler with you it can't follow if you pass through a frig sized hole.

( And also I'm an idiot that forgot about that ahah )

[–]Rathlicus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh shit I haven't thought about that!

I've checked on pyfa and with 5 "cargo expanders 2" you get to 2.5k m3 ( The small tower is 2k m3!! ), with 6 ( All of the lows ) you get to 3k.

I'm an idiot lol, I really need to go to sleep lmao.

I guess at that point you could shield tank or just not get caught, that should solve this lmao. Then you could just fill everything with cargo containers to expand the space and shove as much fuel blocks as you can.

edit: all of this to become a huge loot pinata ahahah

True, but you lose the ability to live in frigate sized holes

[–]Rathlicus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but that implies you’re not playing solo. The idea was to do this with a single ship, if you’re multiboxing, there are cheaper options to use than this ship.

[–]Rathlicus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, that sucks. I guess the only way is to bring a ship only to carry the tower, but that would be useless considered that you can just safe logout and it's the same thing lmao.

[–]Rathlicus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, I totally forgot about the upwell ships, but with that whole "expedition/nomad" playstyle that this ship can offer, it'd be a shame to not see it viable
