EVE General Discussion

"Guns"

bomb deployment level 0...that's just blasphemy.

Train for bomb launchers, join the bomber bar, go to null and blow stuff up.

Ugly portrait/10

I do not understand.



This was supposed to be for my skills, not my profile pic. I went for as realistic to my actual face as possible but my face/head is much more round and the Eve character builder simply did not have the options that let me do a realistic portrayal of myself. Also I think the character builder sucks in general and miss the old profile pics a lot. I do not care what my avatar looks like at this time.



I am actually training Med Energy Turret to V as we speak. I am going to be working on the gun skills. I want to be effective with Missiles, Lasers, and Hybrids. I care nothing for Blasters or Minmatar ships. I also never have and never will use boosters. I would like to have all Caldari and Amarr sub-cap ships to V though and be able to use everything for all races up to Battlecruiser so in time all those ships will be at V as well. Once I accomplish that I will think about a carrier if I feel I have a reason to have one.

I have plans to eventually train into a max skilled stealth bomber so bombs and such are already on the list. I also want a Nighthawk to eventually replace my Drake so Leadership V is coming sooner rather than later as well. I also want to get into Interdictors of all types so those are coming as well. The only reason I even have the Interceptor skill to train at all is for that reason.

I already fly a max skilled Basi so I do not see why I would want a Guardian but I would be happy to have that explained to me.

Thank you for the comment on my shield skills. My armor skills as far as I know are all V as well for the same reason. About a year and a half ago I got fed up with loosing ships or having them threatened so I respeced and focused all my training efforts on fixing the suck with all Int and Mem based skills. I meant to actually finish the Prop Jamming and Ewar skills along with rigs and other such things but got fed up having crap ship and combat skills and switched. I basically figured out there were more Int and Mem skills left to train than Per and Wil ones in total. My goals were to get started flying anything I desired and stop hitting whatever my enemy happened to be at the moment like a little girl. Once I am finished with Ship, Missile, and Gun skills I will switch back and finish what I started with the Int and Mem skills.

Thank you all for contributing thus far!

You look confused....

Honestly it is rather tedious

I totally don't have a dedicated trading alt

It's not you who decides what ships you are going to train for or use - your alliance's military director and FCs do that for you and you will fly Minmatar ships whether you care for them or not.

Because drugs are bad?

Thought about suggesting one but its utility depend greatly on where you will end up and you have a lot of other holes to plug that are imo more important. If you plan for a carrier then make sure to include JDC V.
A carrier is a big suitcase that allows you take a reasonable selection of ships and fittings everywhere you go - if your alliance is nomadic, sends you frequently on deployments or doesn't have working alliance-level logistics this is invaluable.
Carriers are also used to feed capacitor to dreads, shoot battleships with sentry drones (occasionally) and suicide themselves in a vain attempt at saving some idiot's ratting Nyx - none of these are good reasons for getting a carrier imo.

The actual ability to fly a stealthbomber with mediocre skills tomorrow is preferable to the promise of a max-skilled one in a year.
Your FC doesn't neither want nor care for a Nighthawk pilot, he just wants people to fill the remaining squad leader slots already.

right, how could an interceptor ever be useful...

This statement alone shows that you need more than just skill points.

I got out of trading simply because of the tedium. I asked myself one day "Why am I doing this?" I thought about it and could no longer come up with a good reason. I no longer really need billions of isk to buy ships and fit them because I already have those ships fitted. Eve Online had become Second Job Online and thus it was no longer worth it. So I stopped.

I am bored with Eve and bored with highsec, I want a change or I may make a much more permanent change and unplug Eve altogether. I already did it once last year because of Incarnage and the only reason I came back was because CCP seemed to be getting their act together and actually doing the kind of **** they were supposed to have been doing for the last two years.



I am unafraid of Karkaroph.



I wanted to make my avatar a smiling happy person. That was not possible with the ****** character editor at the time it was first released and I was forced to use it. It did not look like lipstick at the time and I do not care enough to torture myself by trying to make a picture of me prettier. I am not that vain.



The offensive system skill is 15 hours away from being level 5. In truth though the only thing I really use my Tengu for is sneaking around in null to ship small items worth lots of isk. I have other ships for pve combat that I prefer. Why have a 1.5 bil Tengu when I already have a 2 bil Navy Scorp and a 500 mil Drake that will do everything the Tengu can do but better for what I would use them for.

I really fly nothing other than Caldari, mining barges, and haulers/freighters. Again this is something I am already working to correct.

I pretty much avoid pvp in all forms though I am working on the skills to correct this. I can be in a very effective Bomber in a few days.

And I am looking more for a renter based alliance in null. That is of course assuming I do not just do a minor refit on the Tengu or ship some other vessel out there via Black Frog and just wing it solo.



Then that can be corrected within 2 days if need be. I only trained logi to fly in Incursions to begin with and all of my large fleet experience comes from there.
