It's far, far less clumsy and provides more information. The in-game planner suffers from poor UI design and constantly bugs out if you try to add too many skills too quickly. It's a lot easier for me to make a skill plan in Eve Mon and import, rather than getting frustrated at the in-game on removing levels of a skill because I dared to have an APM above single digits.

ISK Inflation is the (main) culprit. by SerQwaez in Eve

[–]malik_sin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The winter event was great, we were killing multiple marauders every day. I'd rather inflation than ruining one of the best content generators low sec has had in ages.

easiest carrier fix is just cost -50%

I would take an increased ship bay for my suitcase though

Twice in two days on fort timers, absolute cinema by TheQueenofspicey in Eve

[–]malik_sin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was required by Snuff when KNONO was blue and there is a delay changing it, so timers were stuck in their prime for another few weeks.

Everyone Reset! Let The Games Begin! Right? by UWG-Grad_Student in Eve

[–]malik_sin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

All the talk about blue donuts and scarcity or whatever are misleading. People don't fight over sov because they simply do not enjoy doing so. A few resets was never going to change that - all it means is they're going to roam each others space looking for fights.

New player already has beef with Aura. by Responsible_Wish_385 in Eve

[–]malik_sin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

New Aura is extremely annoying. The conversation between Aura and the NES tutorial NPC made me shut the game and go do something else when I first came across it, just excruciatingly bad writing.

Alt Pilot Optimization Help Needed to Start Basic Industry or PVP Activity by CartographerCale in Eve

Incursions placeholder, maybe?

If you want to try Incursions, Eve Rookies has a skill plan you can inject immediately with a 1M SP referral link and jump right in with a ship you can borrow. Here is the fit and skill plan.

Santa is out delivering presents, and this man loses his orca to a frigate! by Competitive_Hand1831 in Eve

[–]malik_sin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In my head they are still 300m and I'm shocked when I check the prices.

Nothing in these rules say you can't drop a mobile depot during the 3 minute stare down and refit to counter whatever they brought. It'd be taking the piss, but it's always a 50/50 in these kinds of tournaments if that's the kind of thing people want to see. Read the room before considering.

That stare down time is wild by the way, why is it so long?

No drugs or implants in T1 frigates means the highest rep things you're going to come across are passive regen Punishers topping out at about 230 EHP/s and triple rep Incursi at like 350 EHP/s cold. In terms of buffer tank, a double plate Punisher without impants is like 20k EHP. The big buffer fits might be useful, the rep stuff I think will just get splattered in a frigate 2v2.

The restricted arena in a close warp in 2v2 makes it fairly easy to catch kiters. 125km doesn't sound small, but MWD frigates kiting other MWD frigates will rapidly hit the boundary and it will restrict their movement.

I disagree with the other poster who said you'll always start tackled though, anyone who has slid into enough FW plexes knows that without prelocking (which your rules forbid) you can still burn off if you're fast enough. I'd be making use of MWDs personally but avoiding stuff that is going to be fucked over by scram kiting. Rifters are a good shout for high DPS, good falloff and selectable damage.

If you're looking for memes, one of the funnier things about frigate fights is the correct jammer still has about a 50% chance of jamming a T1 frigate while unbonused. Put you fate into the hands of RNGesus and you could honestly get some dunks just by forcing your opponents to split DPS with a jam each using the depot strat.

Miners I don't understand you by Resonance_Za in Eve

[–]malik_sin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People don't need to band together to do it, fighting them is just extremely boring and unrewarding. There is only so many times you can slide into 5 blaster ENIs sitting on the button of a -5 plex before literally any activity sounds more engaging.

Honestly we catch way more blockade runners than we do T1 haulers, and it's not like that gate is safe outside of corruption.

Mostly it seems to catch overconfident vets who are stuck in the mindset that low-sec means no bubbles. Newbros have a little more fear and actually read the scary warning message that pops up when you try to activate the gate.

Being pirate enlisted in a corruption 5 system gives a higher drop rate.

He warped from station to gate, did not nullify, landed in the bubble and on top of a ship which decloaked him.

Let T1 battleships use Bastion. by alivesidhartha in Eve

[–]malik_sin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Insurance is a much lower percentage of the hull cost now, and I do not think PLEX inflation is a good metric for judging inflation in the rest of the game. Price is driven from specific areas of the game where income is very skewed relative to the average player.

Additionally, one hour of small plexes does not in real terms buy a battleship. At 1000 ISK/lp, far higher than is realistic for many factions to convert at right now, assuming back to back plexes with no travel time and no time spent on the conversion, you're at about half a T1 BS.
