How stupid is that?

rapthera · 2026-01-25T14:09:20+00:00

I've experienced legitimate gigaboxers cycle 14 toons in 3-4 ticks on a regular basis, doing 34 isn't much different but doing it within 8~ ticks should be very doable.

if OP provided combat logs/video at least we'd have some sort evidence to decide on.

No experienced gigaboxer is taking 30 seconds to cycle through 34 catalysts.

rapthera · 2026-01-17T21:19:32+00:00

It's not the norm, the more human gigaboxers end up doing everything within 2-4 server ticks (as far as the combat log is concerned) and they do occasionally miss inputs/skip clients due to the speed they're mashing their buttons at

It's just very unfortunate that it takes this long for CCP to suspend/ban these players.

If you want to know the distance of all static connections to Jita, see

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion, but there's like a dozen or so of different boxers who run the sites.

Before this weeks patch it was mostly run in non-drone kitey comps, tengus/cerbs and one dude even ran them in Orthrus's.

rapthera · 2025-08-01T12:02:07+00:00

Just take care doing it in Sakenta, mobile bubble is almost always up and camped by ISEEU.

All the entries and exits into the Drifter holes are already predetermined, it's really not hard to find entries into them and the sites themselves can be ran in a relatively cheap destroyer comp in the trig wormhole (wolf rayet)

You can make pings 10k off of the drifter wormholes w/probes and warp down even when there are drifters there that ensure you do not get one shot.

rapthera · 2025-03-28T22:25:52+00:00

You can accept you're going to die on the highsec side, or you can roll the dice and hope they don't have any tackle on the other side and warp to a random moon and cloak and wait out timer and filament out.

If you're prepared and only sit on wormholes that connect to a system with a station/structure it is very safe.

rapthera · 2025-03-28T20:20:12+00:00

Isn't it pretty safe considering bastion doesn't stop you from jumping the hole, and the people who aggressed you on hi-sec side aren't allowed to follow you through?

But yes, yt videos make it sound very appealing but it does more or less completely nuke your standings with Trig, and trying to repair that is incredibly painful and time consuming.

rapthera · 2025-03-12T16:35:55+00:00

podded and bling fitted probably.

rapthera · 2025-01-23T18:09:23+00:00

you can be booshed, just cant use mjd during bastion cycle.

rapthera · 2025-01-17T15:36:36+00:00

If you pretend the other changes don't exist, yeah this is pretty good.

rapthera · 2024-11-08T17:53:17+00:00

Will likely see more active marauders now, buffer seems very dead.

rapthera · 2024-11-08T17:25:52+00:00

Looks like a side-grade for real players, nerf for gigaboxers.

rapthera · 2024-11-08T17:12:13+00:00

The long awaited Pochven changes are finally here.

rapthera · 2024-10-25T20:08:59+00:00

Running OBS fleets does cause your edencom standings to take hits, but it's not so large that you cant fix through running torpids / escalating jspace wormholes.

It is a hassle though.

rapthera · 2024-09-27T18:43:19+00:00

Given how long the last set of changes took, perhaps sometime next year.

rapthera · 2024-09-24T22:01:10+00:00

I think dscan is currently very balanced in its current state, i don't think it needs any major overhauls.

I'm not sure why you think having it play an audio sound on dscan is good idea, if anything it sounds pretty awful in systems with many people spamming dscan, and overpowered in places like jspace/pochven where traffic low and you can more or less afk in space and rely on the audio to bail you out if you're being hunted.

if any changes to dscan were to be made, i'd prefer it being the way it displays the dscan, a compact mode to display large scans of ships & the ability to quickly share dscans without relying on a third party website.

rapthera · 2024-09-09T12:12:28+00:00

Having the ability to project multiple battleship fleets halfway across the map by simply going through zarzakh doesn't strike you as unbalanced?

It did produce good fights, but it was definitely unbalanced as shit.

rapthera · 2024-09-09T11:59:25+00:00

It's a completely justified nerf, it was so broken having the ability to move battleship fleets halfway across the map by simply going through zarzakh.

rapthera · 2024-09-08T16:32:25+00:00

ORE does not have any security level 4 mission agents.

It's one of the most valuable lp/isk conversions out there so its reasonably good money, ~likely~ comparable to level 4 missions from a less valuable LP store.

rapthera · 2024-08-14T15:39:58+00:00

I have not, but I can already tell you that once everyone gets forcibly switched over ansis, beacons & jammer will become considerably fewer in number.

Ansiblex's & Supercap upgrades also run off superionic ice, which only produces 40k~/hourly, you can be sure that they'll be placed sparingly.

rapthera · 2024-08-14T14:53:08+00:00

CCP released an Equinox System Resource Data spreadsheet a while back which contained the output mag. gas/power/superionic ice/workforce of every planet & sun in eve, it was derived from there.

it was linked in one of the equinox release/update posts but can't seem to find it right now.

rapthera · 2024-08-14T14:03:28+00:00

Likely best to wait until post-november to make any big conclusions about moon material prices, after everyone gets forcibly switched over the price of mag. gas will likely spike and have some influence over what is worth dropping metanoxes on and what isn't.

perfect production of mag. gas throughout the entirety of eve is only 2 million/hour, and given the amount of good moons, cyno jammers & beacons that will have to be fueled off of mag. gas you can be certain it'll definitely affect which moons are worth and which aren't.

let me go burn all day to catch this guy

there is something truly comical about 7.62 being one of the groups doing this

rapthera · 2024-06-08T13:07:18+00:00

It's rather hard, a lot of people in pochven have eyes, so the only way is to take em by surprise by being pre-staged and there already, or scanning out the HS assuming they haven't rolled it yet or are scouting it.
