EVE General Discussion

I disagree OP.

It is not snobbery.

As an FC when I start looking for a fleet of course I take shinnies first...they increase MY isk per hour. Thats all I care about it MY isk per hour. If taking you lower that I do not choose you.

If there is no shinnies and taking you will mean I can run sites and thus increase my isk...I will.

If you want to run inccursions and get picked.

1)Look at the ships that are taken a lot. Not all are supper shinny, and even then some ships like rohks seem to do okay. If I lack shinny dps I take the best of the non shinny.

2)become an FC...you know what is evem more rare than shinies? An FC!
Web sites tell you what ships to call primary and such. Often there is a fleet waiting in the incursion channel with no FC....all you have to do is build up your fleet out of what is there!

You bemoan seeing the incursion channel full of ships not getting taken....well form up and take em out...make some isk and have fun!

Agreed.

What was even funnier is when PL popped some null sec ones just to spite the dbag mom poppers.

Also, the big tough mom popper fleets are scurred to pop the hi sec island incursions. A billion a day running VG's uncontested is good for the soul.

Very little to do with snobbishness and everything to do with people being whiners imo. If you want a fleet, then form one. Gather up all these other "poor" masses and form an 11 man fleet and run some sites.

I taught the class for E-Uni and still Incursion with them for fun. They literally take ANYTHING someone wants to fly so long as it has a tank. Drake with T1 launchers, Brutix with no damage mods in an armor fit. Anything that can tank a site gets accepted and they still manage to make isk from incursions. Certainly a lot more then a random whiner bitching about not being able to get a fleet all the while refusing to FC himself.

FCing incursions are ridiculously easy. All it takes is a minor amount of motivation and you can run sites for as long as you can keep pulling people in.

Also, bad fits and ships get taken all the time. Actually warp around to sites and you'll see battlecruisers and tech 1 battleships (megathrons, rohks, Hyperions etc etc) in fleets regularily)

Seriously. I saw a dude posting a shiny vindicator fit so I ship scanned him. He had T1 meta 1 guns and had cargo expanders in his lows.

CARGO EXPANDERS

i saw a guy in a badly fitted t1 drake, before we left to do incursions, he was given fitting advice, t2 modules to use, and then we took of with him.

i see groups of t1 battleships doing vg's on occassion, they would be happy to take you i guess. they usually dont win contests but they probably do ok, and end up in shiny ships soon enough.

your personal experience may vary.

AMERICANISMS SPOTTED.

What you just said is that you do care. If you had said that you couldn't care less, this would indicate that your care value is at 0 and cannot drop any lower. However, because this phrase has been warped out of all recognition by Americanisms, you just said that you do, indeed, care on the subject, even if it is a value of just 0.000000001. Therefore, deep down in your soul, you're hurting. Somewhere, an Incursion-bear has injured you, so you're quietly festering.

Show me on the Revenant where the incursionbear touched you.

I might pop along in a ship with a cargo scanner and embarrass some of these bears.
