Missions & Complexes

Don't ask for his fit, he will block you after a long post regarding how your trying to derail his plans.

If you look back a few posts you can see his fully T1 fitted and T1 light drones Dominix, but telling him to change training results in a similar response, followed by the 'I will block you' comment.

I can't imagine having the patience to spend 2 hours in a Lvl-3 mission, for a couple 100k ISK, so at least he has patience going for him.

Good luck trying to get through to him.

I made videos, but it takes 2 times as long to upload them if not 3 times longer.
I succeeded the mission as you can probably read.

Fitting:
Dominix Salvage

It paid me 8.2m ISK looted items
So much loot, I couldn't pick it up in one round and had to come back.
It took over 4 hours.
Maybe over 10m with Bounties and LPs.


Storyline (preparing for clone jump)
Kidnappers Strike, level 3
Part 3 - The Kidnapping
vs- Kin Th Ex
Rec: EM Th

Edit 2 @ 23:18:
485,000 ISK
Bonus Rewards ... within 4 hours and 11 minutes ; 614,000 ISK

1,370,000m ISK looted and counting.

Edit 1 @ 23:41:
I looted 3 x Drazin's Keycard
This is a chaos-logic keycard. It had been issued to a pirate by the name of Drazin Jaruk. It will open the acceleration gate for a short time and then self-destruct.
...
There are three incase you would need to warp out and back : each gate activation consumes one keycard.

Only 2 more wreck with MTU. I scoop and then use the 1st of 3 keys.


Edit 2 @ 23:53:
+140k + 770k
I won't have enough cargo space to grab it and go.
I will have to go drop at base (1 jump away, 2 jumps round trip), clear hold, and come back.
I will clear a Passive
Limited Explosive Plating I
-23% Explosive Damage Resistance Bonus to make space for an Expanded Cargohold.


Edit 3 @ 23:54:
I am carrying 10 units of Crash.


Edit 4 @ 23:59:
The customs caught me and webbed scammed me, and destroyed me.
I got 74m insurance.
Not enough for another BS.
I will jump back in my clone a sell some junk, but there is only 50m.
Still 40% short of a BS + that doesn't include drones, etc.

Is there any way to kill those with a BS?
Or do you just have to hand over the Crash or not pick it up?
The BS is too slow to align and escape the Customs.


Edit 5 @ 00:01:
25 minutes before I can Jump Clone back.


Edit 6 @ 00:06:
I will have enough in 3 days to get a new BS and finish the Storyline mission.
I lose the bonus of the 3rd one though.
All I have left are:
Destroyers
Catalyst (2) 9j 14j, Algos (2) 9j 15j


Edit 7 @ 00:18:
Actually no, because the 3 keys were lost.
So I lose the 1 Storyline mission Faction bonus of 1 in 16 mission.
I hope I will get an easier one than that next time.


Edit 8 @ 00:31:
I got my loot back though.
4m drop.
There is no youtube video for
eve online Kidnappers Strike


Edit 9 @ 00:36:
That will probably not be worth it for me to get a 2nd PLEX at this point .
I will just finish training and forego standings.
It will save me more time and money.


Edit 10 @ 00:39:
That just costed another 200m + btw, for 10 units of Crash worth around 14,000 ISK or 40,000 ISK...


Edit 11 @ 00:46:
200m ISK is worth how many level 4 mission ?
What about 700m? or 1.5b?


Edit 12 @ 02:22:
I forgot to restart learning the Mechanic V skill after Jumping to a Jump Clone.
That will have to be tomorrow morning.
What a waste of time , efforts, good will, annoyance from others , and enough pyschological warfare to post in the Crime and Punishment forums about it.


Edit 13:
Done. There was no EVE client on the last system used.
The ratio of difference between the Crash and ship partial costs is 14,285 times.
Possibly more than square the value of the 10 units of Crash itself.

My learning can be updated after 3 PM today. I won't need Connections V which takes 14 days.
I will be able to choose BS V or other Black Ops skills.

I was suggested Sentries and I got the rest of the day off.
Trying to pick up a $50 check. bbl.
I still deliver Quafe for real, that includes all Quafe products.
Disclaimer: Except toilet paper. I categorically refuse to.

There's a few other thing to include which could go in my signature line but I forgot.

erm, this ship has sailed without missiles.
It uses Hybrid ammo which do not deliver Kinetic damage.
The drones do all the Kinetic damage, more than the on board equip of zero.
That is 100% more of 0 which is like a miracle in itself although a definite term...

I never saw that yet, or I forgot.

I will deliver you Quafe.

Doh! That's so obvious, why didn't I think of it

Thanks for the good idea. I'll give it a try next time.

EDIT: I think the mission may be New Frontiers 2 of 7.

Oh no worries, it's easy to overlook. I just spent the first couple years of my game mostly flying fighting stealth explorers before the odyssey changes. Though I'm spoiled on cov-ops colaks, I eventually realized that the other cloaky mods were viable for certain missions when I wanted to get in close before getting locked. Not as easy to do in a T1, but usually enough room on a T2 fit. Though T1 destroyers they fit well into too.


Yeah, I still don't consider the T1 BS optimal for lvl3. A cruiser seems more flexible, and can even go into lowsec where the effort is rewarded a bit better (and AF is just a mini-cruiser). Usually the lower the security you go, the better the return for your effort. Then the BS is very slow moving, eating up a lot of time. See, it all changes, your results may be a bit different even missioning in .5 compared to 1.0. If you are doing all of this in highsec, best to do it in .5 to .6 and as in most cases in such cheap ships no one is hardly going to hunt your cheap ships.

Black ops? The T2 BS? I'd never advise using a black ops BS for any type of mission, at all. For lvl3 missions, imo the winner for standings farming I'd say is T3, HAC or force recon (I have them). I just use rocket/blaster AF because it's more fun, less boring, but still wipes the floor on the rats, and gets in and out really quickly. I'd only consider using any BS for it if using 'smart' bombs... which is not the 'smartest' thing to use in highsec as a primary weapon hehe.

I've never fit both AB and MWD on a rookie ship, I didn't even know you could... since seems it's too much drain to even try. I do fit them on a breacher though, with very extended missile range on that and a little extra power. Not just that, but a breacher fully T2 fit and with a lot less SP than you are using here, and with pvp fit skills. Rookie ship is a little underpowered to do any serious roaming it seems. I can buy a stack of 10 well fit breachers after 20 minutes of lvl4 missioning. An SB or AF with just one mission.

You said you have a main with more SP, you really don't need to be spending your check to buy a BS. T1 BS is so cheap it's considered disposable, especially with insurance. Even running missions into lowsec, you can do far better with disposable ships (frigs & cruisers there) than with a free rookie ship. Just from four or five lvl4 missions you can buy a BS fully fit with T2 modules, all earning it from highsec. If you put your higher SP character on that, the only real challenge will be trying to stay awake while your ISK gets fat.

You punish yourself too much, dude. I can understand doing things for the challenge, but for the most part everyone tries to fly smart in EVE. That is why there is so much variation in the game, you can fly smart the way that fits your play style best. It's not like WoW or something, were everyone is basically in the same gear and doing it in the same way. Not so much smart vs dumb kind of smart, but smart as in you make your path in this game - deadly - and very much different than how the other guy may be doing it. Usually that doesn't include self-punishment or limitations though. That's why every thread here has different opinions, there are just so many ways to even do just one single thing in EVE.

Does this thread make anyone else's head hurt?

(Perhaps from banging onto desk, grabbing forehead and squeezing, or just a throbbing pain that starts behind the eyes and explodes out of your forehead like a Greek gods childbirth)
