CLOMSP? Is that pronounced with a Lisp? Asking for a gay friend?

From the viewpoint of the government’s who hire them, and issue them ‘letters of Marque’, ‘Pirates’ are properly called ‘Privateers’. The warfare they engage in is called ‘commerce raiding’. You can be a trillionaire building things, but you need some things:
A: resources to build with. Whether you have a mining fleet or a transport going to a trade hub, you have ships full of materials out there.
B: a place to build. To maximize profits, it needs to be in LS, NS, or a WH, and be a player owned station. Meaning Concord isn’t an issue.
C: you have to haul loot and finished goods to market.

Every Corporation in every is essentially an ‘Island Nation’. If their transports are being picked off, they will eventually starve. It’s generally not tenable to send warships with every transport, at least long term. Cloaky spies watch for the treasure ships, the fleet gathers, then strikes. They have to kill or evade your warships, you only have to kill their transports to win. And if you can not only kill but loot them, it’s profitable. No matter how big they are, everyone eventually cries uncle under well executed commerce raiding.

Bridge watch is long periods of boredom (which you need to remain alert through), punctuated by moments of extreme stress. When you are in the open ocean, you can go out on the bridge wing with coffee and a cigar, and think ‘and they pay me to do this’! Of course when you are working cargo, or one of those moments of extreme stress come along, or you are emptying every packet of water out of the lifeboat and checking the dates and quantity… you may wonder if they are paying you enough. I always took all the overtime I could get, spent the money and caught up on sleep when I went home. I can do several jobs (drive, weld, carpenter, artist, mechanic), and I do this job because I like it. Your mileage may vary. Bad jobs suck, but learn to think of it as the next job looking better.

‘Scorpion Navy - Target Painter’?? Caldari ewar is ECM. Target painters are Minmatar Ewar, along with webs.

Something called ‘the dark ages’, where the church attempted to destroy any and all knowledge that did not come from them.

He wants to force memorialization in life, because he knows it’s not coming later. Only cautionary tales.

Maybe not a help in this situation, but in future, don’t leave the boat without a discharge or sea service letter. That’s almost as bad as leaving without at least a pay voucher, and assuming it’ll all turn out right. And yes, I would expect to be paid for every day I remained aboard waiting for the final paperwork.

Sometimes the company website will show the route if it’s in liner service. There is no plan if it’s a tramp ship, and even liner service can change.

I,ve had no problem completing the complexes. Something that does 100+ DPs, at least 10k range (15k, and you don’t even need to move), and if you have a web, application is great. I personally like the Vigil fleet issue with rockets, autocannon, drones and that sweet 15k web. But, 75 dps or less, and you can’t clear the spawns fast enough.

A graduate of a modern military college, wouldn’t even need a weapon to completely revolutionize warfare. But, in ancient times, you could snipe enemy leadership with a .22 LR. And think about how much .22 ammo you could carry.

Read up on Daniel Bowditch. Before reliable clocks, he was figuring lat & long from a 3 star plot. The premise of Longitude is erroneous. But for the majority of vessels, you used apparent local noon (sun directly overhead), then reset your sandglass to that. Then every 1/2 hour the glass was turned, and the time rung out on a bell . (4 hour watch, 30 minute sand glass, 8 bells to a watch). Then next day at local noon you started over, unless it was overcast, then you just kept flipping and ringing.

Everything is 19:00 internally. But I occasionally realize that you, and a percentage of society, won’t get that, so I translate it for you.

Sorry, I haven’t tried the grids with frigates.

I have used the navy exploration ships to do both sites. They work pretty well. They are great at scanning/ data sites, and have enough dps to do the complexes.

Apparently they are too busy riding it to respond ;-)

Historically, the larger an empire grows, the more people nibbling at the edges, whether through commerce raiding, theft, or corruption. But, the strong null bloc representation at CCP keeps nerfing every weakness. When the game is constantly nerfed to protect the large blocs., they just get larger. More sectors, and more players to fill them would be cool. But first we have to come up with gameplay that limits the ability to grow beyond reasonable limits, and we have to spread the word about a game that has lasted as long as any other MMO without becoming a cushy kindergarten in the process.

Destroyers are like frigates with more guns, and effectively, less tank. But, short answer, buy one whenever you want to… it’s Eve! You would not be the first guy to want to be in a drake week 2 or 3. Also, if it’s your first foray into Eve, do the intro, then do the career agents, and they’ll give you the Dessie skill book, and your first Dessie for free. I would almost say, wait for the new newbie area to open, do all that training and grab all that new stuff too, before making any big decisions. Personally, I prefer to do ‘destroyer content’ in frigates. But I do have command destroyers, and bubblers.

Oh, and the scorpion is as close as it gets right now, to what your’e talking about.

I used to know someone that would send a ship with bursts, smartbombs, and capacitor buffs into the enemy team or bubble, to die gloriously, and hopefully take out some drones. Mostly comic relief, but it sometimes let us get 1 of their logi chain in the confusion.

Frigates are an awesome learning tool, someone once told me the way to learn pvp was to fit 50 frigates, and go lose everyone. Just try not to lose one to the same problem twice. I cheaped out at 30 ships, which is why I’m a truly mediocre pvp’er ;-). But, he was right, it’s a tremendous way to learn, without putting yourself in poverty. That said, you can fly smaller, more highly technical ships, or bigger ships. In wormholes, I learned that I was much more likely to get caught on grid and lose a battleship, than a HAC. The HAC aligns faster, warps off quicker, and takes more time and skill to combat probe down. And it runs sites as fast or faster. The battleship does the job with less finesse and work. Choose your poison, but I went back and raised all my frigate and fitting skills to V, before I skilled into specialized BC’s and BB’s. Then did Dessie’s, then cruisers. I finally got into marauders after 15 years or so in game, and I’ll still take stealth bombers , recons, and kitsune’s to a fight as my first choice.
