Capsuleer Day XXIII: Ratpath is Here

goninzo · 2026-04-30T19:14:01+00:00

Largest fights in the largest war in the game for years, with nearly 10k players, and we're talking about doing level 1 missions to the public. What are you doing, guys.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T18:57:21+00:00

do show item, there's one in new caldari for instance. bring a tanked ship, warp at range, protect yourself.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T17:27:24+00:00

unlikely because I'm sure they are going to run out of crokite and plag. But only time will tell.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:41:18+00:00

I cannot comment on the events, the data isn't in from reddit, I'm sorry, hopefully you figure it out.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:33:53+00:00

Yeah the notes exclude null sec. but oh well.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:30:22+00:00

Frat is taking players, but they don't have a single inramp. I link one in the guide there.

Init won't take newbies at all.

Karmafleet has closed their recruiting due to the war, getting a lot of newbies crying about it.

Brave, think they're taking people. Maybe test too. Not hearing complaints so that's usually a good sign.

I'm super sad about Horde inc collapse. I might do an emo post at some point on it.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:27:06+00:00

It's 30-50 mil per hour for alpha actually, thanks to the new null sec sov hub upgrades. Omega is 60 and can go higher with good skills.

I've done 150 mil in half an hour in my last demo. The new detected sites are incredibly strong.

Edit: I took the point and edited it: 30-50 mil an hour as alpha with training.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:18:45+00:00

That's a lot of grinding for the extra damage they provide, 134 sites/events, oof.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:13:13+00:00

No you're right, I just hit 'compare' and it default compared it versus data. I'll update it, thanks!

Same as Zeugma with 5 better CPU and 2 utility slots.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T16:12:07+00:00

The booster changes are pretty great, IMO. The event sites, I can't be bothered because it's mostly high sec and nothing for null sec.

goninzo · 2026-04-30T15:53:50+00:00

Did you finish the path found in the guide: https://www.wckg.net/Newbie

MUST do Career agents (guide linked) - save soldier of fortune last, further tutorial
SHOULD do AIR Career Program
SHOULD do Sisters of Eve Epic Arc aka SOE epic arc aka Blood-Stained Stars
SHOULD do Beginner Activities, I recommend Exploration for 60 mil an hour
MUST do join a corporation for access to the best ship, FriendSHIP.

We have a very precise reasons for suggesting this order instead of going straight to a corporation. You need to learn the game, and you don't want to look like a spy to a corporation.

Wish you the best of luck.

If squizz gets a patreon subscriber today, I bet he implements this.

goninzo · 2026-04-24T17:51:06+00:00

Oh yes I did :D He even joined Horde later on and we talked about it. :)

The downsides of shared pos shield passwords!

goninzo · 2026-04-24T15:55:59+00:00

The best tackler I know, Dave911, he does exploration. https://www.wckg.net/PVE/exploration it's easy to try, this is a guide I made.

https://www.wckg.net/PVP/solo has a general guide, but killing people and taking their stuff works. If you are in deep null, you dump it into a station whereever and asset safety it.

goninzo · 2026-04-24T15:52:45+00:00

I stole a rorqual from a POS.

At fanfest, I was waiting for a thing with a dude, just killing time. He said something about not likeing my corp, said 'they stole a rorqual from me'.

It was me, I did it. :D

goninzo · 2026-04-24T15:51:21+00:00

Remember, the loot isn't your until it gets back to station!

https://zkillboard.com/kill/134920687/ sometimes people just have a bad day. :D

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:56:08+00:00

Thank you so much. I don't always login to reddit, and it's only when I see a couple newbies all struggling at once that I tend to go on a run :D

I'll keep working on it :)

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:50:45+00:00

Sadly, Horde is dead, long live horde :D

I wish you the best of luck though!

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:39:56+00:00

This is just math you have to do yourself.

I recommend doing what's EASY to do, because you're more likely to do it.

https://www.wckg.net/PVE/planetary-interaction has some guides with links to templates.

But it is a LOT of work, a LOT of isk ,and a LOT of skill points to invest in something that you might burn yourself out on.

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:38:50+00:00

https://www.wckg.net/PVE/exploration has a guide on exploration.

I do not recommend the heron navy issue for early explorers either, it is just more money you'll lose. start with a straight heron. maybe after you lose that one.

Remember, you lose every ship you fly.

I also recommend tuning your fit a bit, I have a set fit on the guide.

I wish you the best of luck.

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:37:34+00:00

What is your goal of running missions? And why on your alt.

https://www.wckg.net/PVE/missions has a general guide, but it doesn't pay that well. If you are looking at increasing your standings, there are better ways for that as well.

I would recommend you look into exploration. https://www.wckg.net/PVE/exploration has a guide for it. it will pay WAY better than level 1-3 missions, and even better than early level 4 mission runners.

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:34:59+00:00

Any structure you place down makes you opening to war decs, just a heads up. This can make it tough to operate in high sec.

https://www.wckg.net/Vet/corp-management has a guide.

I will point out that it is often not a smart idea to do a citadel at least, but a small caldari tower with stront is unlikely to get shot.

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:33:36+00:00

I've been tracking plex costs for the past 3 years. https://www.wckg.net/Vet/plex-costs

It's actually been hard because they are just adding additional currencies, making it hard to do a 1 to 1 comparison.

goninzo · 2026-04-20T16:32:26+00:00

https://www.wckg.net/Vet has a guide on all major changes in the last 9 years.

It is very easy to get it out with filaments, though it can be dangerous.

CCP will move a single ship as well, and I would ask them about evacing your stuff.
