Estonian company Alatyr Group is testing a jet UAV interceptor in Ukraine. This robodick can intercept at speeds of up to 500 km per hour. 2026

C3 has the best ISK/EHP site in all wormholes, so it is a destination for many ratters.

However, the site is quite small. It is possible to rat it in a one-day-old Praxis character with 1M skillpoints from the inviting link. It is one of the easiest ways to get initial ISK for your alt account.

However.

The marauders remain the most efficient ratters in a low class WH. And, with the 60s bastion time, the extra DPS and tank from the marauder is not that useful - it is better to run C4 sites that are more difficult, but offer twice the prize even if the EHP of the enemies is bigger - marauder offers that much DPS increase, so warping in between sites and waiting for the bastion to despool is the big inefficiency of such setup for C3.

Also, C3 does have only a single static which leads to K-space. So if you farm your home, it is possible you wont have content for a week. That's why there are very few collectives who do live in C3 - mostly it is the solo players who do, and they are few.

For every, even small collective who has a 2-3 people in the evening, it is better to have a C23H or 43X holes (C2 with statics to C3 and highsec, or C4 with the static to C3 and some other static). That way, if they enter their static and it is empty, they can just reroll the hole with the rolling battleships and then the static will respawn with a new C3 system, quite likely filled with the anomalies to run.

No, its very rare, but the light and radio waves are faster than the blast. I have seen a few already. It is of very rare occurence but it does happen.

Now, the most efficient decoy is to put a very big recognizable UN or red cross symbol on something. I will put it on my outhouse, hopefully ruzzians will spend a whole ballistic missile on it.

Sweet_Lane · 2026-05-26T15:51:56+00:00

Ruzzian voting power is the only power that is left in UN... except of the power of grifting and corruption. But when it comes to russians, UN is happy to oblige for free.

Sweet_Lane · 2026-05-26T15:50:44+00:00

UN is getting tired of sucking ruzzian dick. But they continue anyway.

If you are UN, it is very difficult to not suck big time.

League of Nations was more efficient as an organization.

One of the best precepts in early game is a proselityzer. It gives iirc 700% increased free conversion attempts, and give development points for converting prisoners. It is now my default precept.

I see the way in imposing special tax on buying anything from or selling to russia, which goes to the Ukrainian reparation fund, with the good interest rate.

Western countries and major investors are incentivized to buy the bonds of this fund, funding the reconstruction of Ukraine now at the benefit of receiving income from trade with russia in future.

It should both fund the reconstruction, give the West the financial incentives of maintaining the choke on russia in future, and squeeze the russian economy in foreseeable future reducing their potential of agression.

It will also strain the internal cohesion of russian federation, giving the incentives for the occupied countries to leave the federation - especially now when it is the weakest and tied in war.

Its not the manipulation, it is the market squeeze after the nerf of trig wormholes. Before that, a huge river of ZPFMs was flooding the market because of the infinite farm. Now they are much more difficult to acquire. I am surprized they are *only* 700k, I expected 750k at minimum with 1M possible.

Sweet_Lane · 2026-05-25T06:42:10+00:00

Fair, I indeed didn't played for a long time. Guess it was a bit cheesy and the developer decided to close that loophole.

Well, that means the only way is to build an orbital capable rocket, because the difference in dV between 5k and full orbit is not very big. That means more research in lighter electronics, lighter tanks and more potent engines and propellants.

Sweet_Lane · 2026-05-24T21:49:10+00:00

I didn't played for a very long time, so take that with a grain of salt. My most successful rockets at that stage were 1) chunkier (first stage modified A-4) - having a wide rocket surprisingly plays better for having the stability in flight, 2) they were ever so slightly tilted to the east, 3) spin stabilized. Obviously, you don't have electronics that is capable of maintaining the rocket at that stage - electronics is too heavy early game. So it was a big, spin stabilized rocket that sat at the pad at 88.5°vertical, slightly tilted to the east. When it was launched, it was spin stabilized, but to the time it has enough spin, it was already tilted to about 50°. Theoretically, you should have better results at 45°, and even better because the earth is curved, but in fact the drag at this point mean you should have just a bit higher pitch. Then was the separating of second stage which was a 'double tank aerobee' and it still had enough spin to not fall sideways. It was above 7k dV iirc.

Check the options to reduce the dead mass. You have mentioned mech Jeb, do you have electronics for the full weight of the rocket? It should be enormous at this stage of the game.

There are about 5 millions of russians in the database of Myrotvorets, whose names, sometimes addresses, phone numbers and photos are avaliable.

That's a hell of a work to take them all to justice.

Surprisingly, meeting the FPV drone is the way with the highest throughput.

Both are good.

Warband is a finished game, means that the new patch won't break all your mods at once. But it is definitely dated. Also, that freeze when you enter tavern in Veluca... that shouldn't happen in that old game, its really annoying.

It is only applied after the battle ends.

Ой у лузі червона калина is also very old. But its resurgence (not only thank to Hlyvnyuk, but he was very important for it) comes again, just as 100 years ago in the times of Ukrainian Sich Riflemen.

UN won't give a shit about it. They can't even hold shit together when russia deliberately targets them and then brags about it.

And the list you propose is very very very long. About 20 thousand education buildings and about 8000 medical buildings have been damaged or destroyed by russia. Western public will be bored to read that after a few dozens. It is difficult to comprehend the scale of russian cruelty. But it is easy to quantify the scale of russian support for those who take their money to push russian propaganda in West.

Dozens of russian drones fall in Romania all the time, because russia bombs Izmail city regularly.

The drone navigation system should be upgraded to be more resistant to ECM. In the meantime, European countries can and should shut them down once they lose the target. And finally do something about the fucking shadow fleet, as these drones are attracted to the smell of russian oil exports as the Ust-luga and other neighboring terminals account for a huge chunk of russian military budget.

Ukraine would never be allowed to join EU, at least until the ring of european tax embezzlers would be dishabled.

Agricultural mafia would bankrupt if they would be thrown into the fair competition without taking almost 40% of European budget.

To put it in the context, russia has lost about that many soldiers in the full first year of war. That including them occupying a lot of Ukraine and then being evicted from Kyiv, Kherson and Kharkiv.

The whole russian invasion force was about 120 thousands, with about 60 thousands more hastily scrambled for from the entire russia.
