EVE General Discussion

o/ ppl,

I just returned in game after about a year break, and I found that a bunch of stuff have changed in game. Although I went through most of the patch notes I would like your input to see what really changed and how this would affect the activities I engaged before the break. Any input appreciated.

So lets start :

1) Exploration. This was my main income, especially relic/data in mostly null/wh. I'm not really interested in the loot and stuff, but I noticed the map UI changed, and even after 2-3 days I still see my self being much slower than I used to. My skills are nearly maxed. I find scanning process, mostly due to the new "looks", more difficult. So any tips and tricks that will help with the new UI thingy?

2) I was in a corp manufacturing pretty much anything except t3 and titans. However my corp is in ruins and I saw the citadels. Do these have to be owned by corp? What happens if I set up one in hi sec, do I have to be wardec'ed to worry about protecting it? And do they burn fuel like POSes?

3) Incursions. Anything changed over the past year?

4) What happened with the sleepers roaming around hi sec? Any exciting change.

5) Finally I used to be in null somewhere in omist. But I guess things changed. If any1 can give a quick update on the "politics" would be nice:p

6) pvp I guess it will be more fun to figure it out on my own


Thanks o7

Goons lost all their sov , it was maaad funny.

Damn it how did I miss that!!

under the escape menu, you can turn off the new map and the new probe/dscan options. I know I have had them turned off since they were introduced.

At some point citadels will completely replace POSes, so in a year or so expect POSes to go away. Citadels have to be owned by a corp, they can only be attacked during specific vulnerability timers.

I can't speak to the rest given I'm rarely in HS or null for any length of time

I thought it was only dreads, not titans. I've seen dreads, but never seen a titan rat yet.

Welcome back

1) Scanning is easier than before to scan the signatures down. There is no longer a deep space probe, which used to be very handy.

2) Citadel - You need to be in a player corp to put one up. And it can be destroyed during a war dec. Many of the HS citadels are free to anyone, but I am sure you could arrange with your local citadel owner to get better deals if they do charge.

3) No incursions haven't changed in the last year

4) Some seekers may appear and if you shoot them their big brothers will come kick your ass.

5) Politics in null will never go away or change.

6) Some ships have changed, T3 Destroyers are the new meta with the svipul being the most OP of them all. SOE ships Astero -god for exploration and some pvp and the stratios came along, not sure when, with the Nestor BS. Guristas also have some new missile ships out, again, not sure if it was this year or if its older.

Isn't it: "The Uedama Gate is James 315 AFK Gank Space. Purchase a permit if you fly AFK with no tank."

The one and only time I ever got ganked was AFK in a capsule on the run to Osmeden. Flown mining ships, freighters through there many, many times with no problem.

Even a cursory glance at CODE.'s killboard will quickly refute your lies. Poor miner, lying is so ingrained in your type that not even public information to the contrary will stop it.

And miner's aren't poor but we're certainly filthy from all that space dust. I did +1 your post though :)

Before gank: "I'm not buying the permit."
After gank: "I would have bought the permit if you had asked."

You can never pin a miner down on the truth.
