Are there any considerations about the fit for the farm?



Exactly what I was just thinking, I will take my semi-pimp Osprey Navy I think this can handle up to BC sites easy. Cant find any guides or streamers who have put anything from the test server yet either.

I think some shield tank with explosive hardener and good projection and application of dps to get those small pesky webbing and disrupting drones. My favourite are drones, to fight the drones.

****-poor event haphazardly thought out by CCP.

Why do these when douche bags just fly in in a t2 ship, steal the kill, collect and warp out. Test future deployments please, unless this is another intended ******** game mechanic.

Great job "developers".

dessies are probs the best thing for these sites with a good rate of fire you will always get the kill pretty much, don't bring drone boats or missiles XD

youll also stand no chance of fighting someone who steals your wreck, bringing dessies will only encourage other T2s /T3s to steal your kill more

this is a multiplayer game and you have to compete with other players
or cooperate with them
theres nothing wrong with the event its good for player interaction
and good for tears in local so its all good fun

Easy enough if you leave the beaten path. Head to a high sec island away from the main areas and you will most likely have free roam. Or just go away from trade hubs into the nether regions.

Not true any more. Exactly those islands attract tons of event hungry no-lifers, so you will have plenty of concurents out there. Surprisingly you will find more abandoned events sites in mission hubs. Many people run mission there so area is heavily populated, but they ignore low rewarding, repetitive event sites. Event hunters use Dotlan to find less populated areas and runs into island to create high competitve environment there.

TL;DR: Islands do have less people, but they all are dedicated event runners out there.

Absolutely free head start for newcomers!. Just click the link and get extra 250 000 SP!

This event was designed for the T3 Jerks to get rich, and mock us doing it.

They can come in even after you have started killing last guy and lock and kill him and get the loot.

They know there is nothing we can do to stop them and they are getting to be jerks about it.

The only good thing is the skins are <2mil for some of them at least.

Know CCP loves their T3, but to make a event for them to mock everyone else is lame even for them. Evil

i dont think t3 has anything to do with it
why dont you just fit a ship that can do them faster
even a coercer can probably beat most ships on sites

It trains alphas to move about and find low population areas.

Also people don't just warp in, and a kill is not something that can be stolen. ie they would have done the encounter whether you were there or not.

Lastly, you only need to find 3 of the boosters an hour to be matching a subcap ratter in nullsec, and its a lot more than you'd otherwise earn with a vexor, so its not like it doesn't pay a new player to figure out how to make money from the event.

Sitting on 120+ skins and 30 accelerators, can confirm.

Only 3 Plex so far though. Meh

just gonna add some more to my previous post about using a coercer
rogue drones are really weak to em damage so lasers are ideal
overheat your conflag and you can get about 600 dps with small guns so its nice application
just use your ab so you can get directly on the boss drone when it lands and use a sebo so you can lock it fast
i think you can beat pretty much most ships that way
