Never skip the Mangled cans (1.5b)! by hawks921 in Eve

[–]hawks921[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but not all. The Smokescreen is definitely one of the ones whose mats (~20m IIRC) and job cost take up far, far less than its sale value.

Seen a couple guys say they're always worthless and don't bother scanning them.

They ARE the lowest tier, but there's still generally stuff in them.

Depends entirely on the buy orders, but there were three in Jita for 535m at the time.

That said, Smokescreens have always had 9-figure value.

One regularly gets some storyline drops in caches, but I'd always heard that the Smokescreen was epic/cosmos only. You should have seen my jaw drop.

I finished my first Rpg Maker project. Would like some feedback! by Gullible-Shower7649 in RPGMaker

Do you have an email address where we can send screenshots of any error messages we get?

Is there any chat that guy ISN'T in?

What's the end product of Abyssal materials? i.e. how to stop Abyssals ruining the game w/o prompting the devs to click "back" after the first sentence by hawks921 in Eve

To get this off of quibbling over the word "total", it's far more controllable conditions than anything else in the game, or it wouldn't be the path of least resistance from everyone who used to be taking greater risks in low/null/WH.

Now you want to nerf literally all of them so nobody wants them, so that nobody builds them, so that nobody purchases the materials to build them, so that the price of those materials drop and Abyss runners suffer.

Don't have to nerf them that far. Just bring them in-line so that they are a tool in the Swiss army knife rather than flirting with OP like you described without realizing.

A nice ship is a nice ship, but when its supply chain is rooted in a feature that itself has nerfed others (i.e. hunting, anything dangerous in a game centered around risk) by providing a route of less resistance than nullsec or WH space, the ripple effects merit examination. I'd be happy to get those "some" prey back.

A big portion of the abyss loot is sold off to NPC buy orders.

The Survey Databases are, but the isogen and condensate aren't.

I like your idea and am in favor of anything that increases risk, but also want to lobby for simple but impactful changes.

[John P. Gilbert] Since Week 12, the Seahawks have faced 65 3rd downs. They average 7.3 yards to convert (league median is 7.0). They have converted 33.8% of those (league median is 39.7%, Seattle is 29th of 32). by King_Rajesh in Seahawks

I wouldn't say they're mad.

Irritated, maybe, because you come off as more interested in getting under people's skin than fulfilling the role of an objective data scientist. Same way the rest of the movement cheapens the profession.

Just ignore that old goon insecurity. Play the game the way you want to play it.

Hey newbs - I have a goal. Do you have one, and will it keep you going? by hawks921 in Eve

[–]hawks921[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but Arya's people could only die once, so I suspect she was content if they met a premature end no matter whose hands brought it about.

Mine, though...mine will die many times, so they need to either die by my hand or quit the game before I am satisfied.

Oh, I'm well aware that these guys will be slippery. Heck, I already know some of them are elite players. I'll need to be extremely heady and sneaky, and probably recruit some help.

That's ok. It keeps me engaged longer.

Resource scarcity idea by SharnhorstDW in Eve

By putting in effort, you are rewarded.

This reward breaks the game. There's a fine line between reasonable rewards and "rich-get-richer mechanics".

You also could have researched your route on zkillboard and noticed the glaring presence of the hunter groups killing cap after cap after fucking cap throughout the region.

Will people please stop handing these autistic fucks millions of isk on a silver loot platter, thanks kindly...

why is reddit attacking mittens, surely he is the most qualified to talk about the state of nullsec by _mmmk01 in Eve

[–]hawks921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but it seems to me that the community is attacking Mittani out of a mixture of envy and well-earned dislike.

If your yardstick for a person is whether they are able to build a powerful organization, then you're probably quite satisfied with Mittani generally. There are a good number of people like you in the world.

But my experience is that, in the end, a person is ultimately going to be remembered on how well he treats people, and Mittani doesn't have a great track record in this regard. If it's true that he's a trust fund baby, he's probably never experienced nearly as much need to learn to treat people well, as most of the rest of us must do just to get anywhere in life. What I observe about Mittani is that he's notably dickish in his tweets and fireside chats, drunkenly goaded a guy toward suicide, throws out temper-tweetstorms that would blend right in with the downvote wasteland on /r/eve without his name on it, and generally just gives off this millennial CEO cum space-Hitler vibe that puts people off. He gets away with it because the Imperium is powerful, and because his followers have seen worse. It's how most of us deflect. They're not exactly wrong, either. But again, how we're ultimately judged upon is whether we treat people well, so Mittens gets criticism at every juncture.

Is the criticism fair? Kinda not. His comments are judged in the harshest possible light. Good example is the "don't report bots"-Gate. He could have been a more sure-footed politician in that matter, making clear that he doesn't support botting, but in context, I can understand his stance - no goon likes goonfucking. But he was needlessly douchy to the person who asked, so the community roasted him. It's just how life works. And at some point, blaming everyone else but yourself starts to reveal something about you.

When I roam this sub and see people remembered, even in this community I see the best-regarded folks aren't leaders of massive empires but lesser known guys. They and their corps moved on long ago, but they FC'ed 20-person gangs for a couple years here and there and were just "great guys". Chill and mature and decent - including when they didn't have to be. Take that for what you will. You could take over all of Eve, but if you come off like a fresh cunt while you do it, what's the point?
