EVE General Discussion

I don't think this word means what you think it means.

So I went to look up that word, just to make sure it meant what I thought it meant and I learned a new word - apposite.

Cheers, Bumble, for expanding my vocabulary today.

Switch to Endurance. Fitted for tank it does not care about rats at all. I always use it semi-afk in zerosec.

You're right, only a fool would waste his time mining in low sec, and only a clown would attempt to solo mine low sec.

I mean really though you should at least have an escort if you're trying to clear an ice belt lol.

You have three options:

1: Use a ship that can handle the belt rats. Mining ships aside from expedition frigs are designed specifically to be tanky and carry enough drone DPS to defend themselves from rats. (Or rather, the rats are generally designed to be weak enough mining ships can kill them while mining) You're in losec. If you mine aligned to something you can fairly easily bounce if someone sketchy shows up in local. We have people in corp that mine in losec in cheap 20 mil t1 barges and have no problem handling rats and keeping safe from hostile players, and we don't control the systems they mine in or even make much effort to remain particularly close by.

2: Get friends. EVE is not a solo game, and expecting to solve all of your problems by simply reshipping in not a sustainable long term strategy. There's plenty to do in losec for a friend in a combat vessel besides watching you mine, including ratting the other belts, doing combat anoms, killing people who want to **** with you, generally being a discouraging +1 in local and he'd be one short warp away from clearing out your rats occasionally.

3: Use the ship for what it is designed for. Expedition frigs aren't designed to clear whole belts worth of stuff. They're designed to warp fast and mount cloaks or probe scanners so they can get around quickly to find and ninja mine only the best stuff. If you're trying to mine out a whole belt in an expedition frig you are using the ship wrong. You should be flying around, hoovering up the most valuable stuff, and bouncing when it gets too hot to quickly find more valuable stuff, then using that amazing mobility to get your mighly valuable but small ore/gas/ice haul back to a safe place. You know, taking an expedition and not camping one system.

No, he was just incorrect, and I assume meant to say: "Would I be impertinent to suggest..."

Adjective + Infinitive constructions are typically used to express feeling or reactions: "I was happy to receive your nudes". I can't think of other constructions, really.

Edit: however, "I found it difficult to decide on a Christmas present" is fine, so maybe not just emotions and reactions. Anyway, the original construction isn't correct.

- I like one Drone Damage Amplifier II in the lows, in lieu of the third IHU II. Also tweak the PG/rig situation and fit a polycarbon for sooper fast align AND additional cloaked sublight velocity. I roll a throwaway clone with a 1% ice cycle implant and pull a block in 61.5s. If you are using a Prospect to mine ice you are doing it wrong.
