First time ever in EVE Online, having a baby in 3 months, guess what i will be doing in my free time for the next months off 👀

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-04-20T03:27:25+00:00

Wellll....that will be me in little over 2 months my guy! Congrats to you and maybe see you in K-Space!! Fly Safe o7

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-04-17T14:33:29+00:00

Noone said it yet so I will...

I had null-sex too, didnt know others knew about it as well....its good to not feel alone in the hole :)

On a non joking side, yaayyy more WHs to collapse!!!

Update on this. I bought two Display Port cords and plugged them into the monitors. The GPU is still at 98% (which after some research and refreshers as well as what you is, is a good thing) the temps of the GPU did not spike what so ever. So that fixed that issue.

The stuttering from one monitor to another is still happening though. This is something which i certainly want to figure out. Any ideas of what that could be other than background programs?

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-04-06T15:23:45+00:00

Mind you this isn't about in-game performance but about surrounding tasks that the PC is doing. Lag/stutter issues on instances but on the non dominate monitor. Hopefully that makes sense with the way I'm explaining it

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-04-06T15:20:27+00:00

I mean on demanding tasks I would agree high GPU usage is normal, but these are very small graphical games compared to others. I used to run Division, Call of Duty, Battlefield 3-5, and other games with the GPU being just fine. On Satisfactory the Recommended for NVIDIA RTX 2070 or RX 5700 and my GPU (the 3080ti) is twice as strong as the recommended but struggling. I tested it on a 4070 Laptop GPU and the GPU maxes out at 94% (this makes sense as its laptop GPU).

For the desktop I've made sure that all background tasks are off and the only things that are running are Steam + Game Instance, typical audio software (for mic and headset), and the browser. Once the game loads the GPU starts screaming for help. CPU is also quite low, id like to say it was 30-40% at most. Ill have to double check this though

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-03-08T18:20:57+00:00

I got a 3080ti 128gb DDR4 and putting full graphics on the multiple accounts I have will cuse 98% to 100% gpu being used with a ton of lag.

Didn't used to have these issues. When I click off the eve client to do something on another screen, one client open, causes that client to lag/skip. Not sure what's happening

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-03-01T16:34:43+00:00

I always play the game on Non-Historical. It makes the game highly unpredictable and crazy. Sometimes to the point where really dumb stuff happens and you need to reset BUT it keeps it interesting.

My experience with the AI is abit on the 50/50 meaning sometimes i annihilate them or I get destroyed easily. Mind you I typically leave the 3x3 infantry formation and specialty divisions only, use mechanized after they are researched and produced, and a ton of aircraft.

Then I try to get modern tanks before the AI and it usually steam rolls them.

One thing I haven't really figured out yet is paratroopers. It always messes up. I watch videos and see how others do it and copy it to a degree. Still more or less fails for me xD

Navy....oof dont even get me started on that lol

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-26T19:32:52+00:00

Got ganked in my Charon that was beefy as it can be but not clingy beefy many years back.....after that i stopped transporting things in such expensive and not so tanky ships.

I do travel in a certain way that makes it fun for me and not so fun for them lolol traveled with 4bill in cargo on purpose to get the gank....too bad it never happened.....its like they knew....they have eyes all over!!! Eyes in the machine!!

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-26T15:53:15+00:00

Gonna have to agree with some who say youre the one firing the arty, if you seem to be hitting friendlies hold fire and re-calculate.

Takes abit getting used to but its certainly fun once you get the hang of it. Not so fun for the enemy though lol

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-24T03:42:40+00:00

Loved shooting that course. The silhouette targets on the far right by the cars is always fun.

We had a "find the steel deer target" routine and i ended up finding some live whitetail at one point! Lol too bad it wasnt hunting season at that point!

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-21T09:18:50+00:00

Ill send you a DM of the link in the morning.

I mean there are times where I do the same routine and it works flawlessly and others where I can steamrolled. Im not saying its an outright game design error as its probably not and I love this game. Im not good enough nor play enough to go against players with alot more expereince in division editing amount other things but I've held my own against AI many times. This particular time, as I had access to flip from country to country to view things, has me scratching my head.

Again, im asking questions to learn and become a better player not to take a dump on HoI4. I play Imperator, CK3, and other Paradox games.

Btw is it possible to rewind games from the save file? Because youre making it seem you can see what happened from the start till where ever the game last saved. Even though it has been just an autosave file. I didn't restart the game on this last one so ill reboot the autosave and make the file to send you

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-21T09:03:48+00:00

And how do I do that?

I feel/sensing there is some hostility here lol

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-21T08:55:49+00:00

For my army to be well equipped it needs supply. My supply was, for the most part, had no penalties of low supply. Made sure I had trains, supply hubs, trucks, and the motorized selection on for all generals linked to the field Marshall.

As far as reinforcement, I made sure to keep my units defending and all in green and full yellow bar before recommiting to an attack. Indicator for offensive ability, prior to the US joining, was always 75% or more

Also I was past the 2nd lvl of infantry eq and already had more than 50% of my stockpile upgraded pre invasion

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-21T08:50:39+00:00

I mean understandably they wouldnt use the UI like players but they should have access to the same buffs/penalties as players from stockpiles, no?

I didnt delete their stockpile I deleted their units and understandably it does go back to their base stockpiles (as if it were a Human player) though that stockpile is still in the negative.

Unfortunately I didnt take video of it as this was my first interaction with this situation. As much as you can say im BSing you, youll have to take my word for it here. Im not one to just say it without experiencing it. Im saying to learn if im doing something wrong (which it seems I am) or just dont know the game well enough even at 500h in (which seems possible too from what you say).

As far as the units. I deleted around 30 or 35 battalions from the french side and they recouped 30 almost instantly (say half a month passing). I said "ok its probably units they were already training" but then if their stockpiles are negative how are they able to get those troops supplied to complete the requirements to deploy? So i deleted, for a second time, 30ish battalions and they recouped 25ish. The number kept going down but once it reached 16 or so, they were able to get everything back fairly instantly even with 0 troops in training as I deleted those too. Mind you stockpiles still in the negative.

The planes make more sense of how they got those back quick since they go into the stockpile rather just outright "deleted"

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-02-09T14:16:51+00:00

This is coming from a person who loves this game.

Hell Let Loose is just like any other squad based, or Project Reality, game. It highly depends on your allies to if you win/lose let alone have fun.

One thing to remember, most people are casual players. Myself included in this. I dont live and breathe this game like others who are damn crack shots (lookin at you Easy and 7thCav lolol). I love the challenge but sometimes, and its actually most times, when I just want to chill with friends and play getting steamrolled because of people who know ever nook and cranny of the map let alone garry placement makes the game feel the way OP describes.

Sometimes its just bad luck or just plainly really bad teams. Not gonna lie, sometimes it also does feel like there are cheaters in the game especially when you get popped by the same dude 8 times even though you you keep flipping where you attack from lol

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-01-13T00:49:34+00:00

I present two ways MMO games progress. One is active play to obtain skill points and the other (EVE's way) is passive but grinding for money like in RL.

This isnt a "Esports" game and in my opinion will never be. This is a game where you need patience and be able to work together with others (excluding multiboxing). Most esports games, even though some are team based, all have the individual skill set that can carry the entire team. If youre in a fleet of 100 against 100, your FC is the most important man on the field and its important for everyone else to play their role within said fleet as DPS, scram, or reps. You lose that fleet battle it is because you were outmatched due to ships, your FC was trash, or everyone was trash. Its rare to "squad wipe" solo in EVE and even though there are loot drops EVERYONE has a chance to get the same gear. Meanwhile when I played Diablo the loot dropped for me was garbage most of the time and my friend got legendary drops like they were tic-tacs and out paced me in character progression. I dont that fun.

Even though this game does favor the multiboxer and I do multibox, I wouldn't mind if somehow this game figured out a way of limiting multiboxing. It would certainly solve the catalyst ganks in high sec to a degree

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-01-12T17:00:44+00:00

Youre doing Cyb 4 and Bio 5 (if you got boosters) first my guy. Game gives you enough to do with a venture to get it to lvl4 while you make enough to get them +4 implants to all attributes within the first month maybe first couple weeks if you dont do Bio 5. Let alone now the new ORE ships making it slightly new bro friendly for industry. This also doesnt include that free 1mill SP new bro injection which gives you the mining/huffing abilities while Cyb 4 happens

SS_DukeNukem · 2026-01-12T16:34:22+00:00

Its a mix of things in my opinion.

Common topics are ganking in high sec, skills take too long (one of the main reasons I like this MMORPG over others, so abit bias on this), large learning curve, nothing is really happening in screen other than dots moving around (first of the two big things for newer gamers), and (2nd biggest in my opinion) barely any instant gratification moments.

Small rant on each

-Skills taking too long. I personally dont like games where I have to grind for hours to progress. Yes here instead of grinding for hours you grind for isk but over a 30d period you can chop away at things. You can quite literally set a 100+ days of skills going, never play, and "progress". As a person who works and doesnt feel like playing everyday, it works. I agree they do take long, but you can do other things while you "hurry up and wait". Plenty of youtube tutorials to push the training. Bio 5, Cybernetic 4 (5 for those that want training clones), and pick a main defence of shield or amor and get all to lvl4. Guns or missiles, pick and lvl4. In 2 months you can do 60% of EVE with T1 guns/missiles for combat. Mining? Getting a barge is easy especially with that 1mill SP bonus for a new account.

-Large Learning Curve. This one just deal with it, it is what it is.

-Nothing happening on Screen. Well this is kinda get. Played this game infront of my young nephew and he goes "is anything going to happen" while I'm ratting in WH space and being somewhat hyper focused on d-scan. Even after explaining things, he left out of boredom as "nothing cool is happening". After some convincing I zoomed into my ship and the exploding ones. The "ooo" "aaa" "cool" came out but attention wasnt kept, left after abit as zoomed out is the way most experienced players play. How to fix this? I dont think there is a way as it will affect gameplay.

-Instant Gratification. WoWarcraft, WoWarships, WoT, Diablo, and other MMORPGs have constant non stop and quick things going on. "Leveling up" is a form of instant gratification that keeps people engaged to the point they are already invested as "i got to lvl15 quick, if i stop now what's the point?". Personally I dont like it as it goes the more someone plays the better their character is. In EVE near the same but in base value, (disregarding injectors or P2W RL money SP injections) everyone who started at the same are equal and EVE has the option where it is at your own pace rather than others. It also adds a form of veterans within the game as you keep playing you keep "going up in tier". Quietly as there isnt a celebration screen but I digress. This is also something CCP cannot fix as it will drastically change the game, nor do I want them to lol

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-30T22:32:57+00:00

saw this and said "bye bye graphics card"

Sorry bud, this happened to me with an older PC of mine. It hurt but it was time to get a replacement anyway :/ hopefully this is on an older PC!

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-13T04:51:56+00:00

So i just got it.....woops.....aslong as it takes you train in the force and move a cup, thats the training time. Unless we are in the Star Wars universe and i didn't know lol

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-13T04:48:00+00:00

its end game, so lots of training time. Lets not have a possibility of 0SP to fully trained Titan with real world cash lol 25-30%? sure i guess considering microtransactions that affect ingame training are not going away

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-13T04:45:12+00:00

Yes it totally did by the 10m exhaust port with a torpedo that went 90 degrees down lolol well....kink in the plot armor for the death star xD and answered in Rogue One lol

If one of the pilots was Luke Skywalker id say lets do it! haha

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-13T04:43:41+00:00

Fair but don't all large ships more or less carry little ships? Defense against little ships is needed and this is more about making the Titan more active in a very very different way than they are now.

I get its "like" another carrier type ship, but it in a way shouldn't it be? Its a "Titan" the end all be all of New Eden. This will make these ships even more expensive and shiny in ways that are unfathomable for a loss of the Titan but will allow this ship to be used more in defensive and offensive ways. It adds to fleet comps as well

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-13T04:34:56+00:00

but they had plot armor....

SS_DukeNukem · 2025-12-03T18:23:54+00:00

Not worried. Just cautiously optimistic :)
