You have the ability type meaningfully, if you can fly the same way - what you should be doing is searching for a home in a WH corp Big smile

ISk is probably better (for minions), Pew is probably better, corpmates are probably better, life is probably better - especially if you find a "good fit"

Plus the leadership thing is more diplomatic, if you think the FC is a **** - you don't have to fly with him.

To quote our Alliance Diplo "Null PvP is Chequers, WH PvP is Chess"


The downside is;

Chronic Paranoia - Due to no Local, you never know if you are alone. So you assume you are not. Always.

Scanning, lots of scanning, did I mention the scanning. You get good at it though and can get on grid with a target in seconds few after practicing.

Hitting D-Scan - you will wear out the D-Scan button on your keyboard. However the up side is the muscles and stamina developed in the dedicated finger will make you very popular with the girls.

I'll be honest with you guys, these larger fleet engagements are not really fun. But this is the price of nullsec and sovereignity warfare.

When the king calls his lords, the lords call his subjects and the subjects heed to the call. Why? Because we pledged loyalty to the lord, and the lord to the king. To be protected and to continue ratting anomalies in carriers making big bucks off of technetium and other ****, we need to protect our lands. This includes going on long campaigns to defend our sovereignity and protect what makes us richer.

It is a boring, tedious price, but we pay it gladly so we can continue shoveling money with our tengus. Besides, if you have two monitors you can do other stuff anyway. You only really play EVE when you are in PVP am I right? If I want a fight I just go roam around, in lo-sec if I have to..



So you do boring fleetfights to be able to grind anoms c/d?

I do it because I like helping alliance which helps our corp. I prefer roaming around in small gangs myself, assfrigs and things like that.

I am talking about CFC-sized engagements and Strat-ops or "CTA"s or whatever you want to call them. It is most of the time a hurry up and wait thing, stretching the time invested in a fleet to 2-3 hours and actual fights lasting a few minutes at most, or if it is a POS shooting roughly an hour depending on how many moons we have to assault.

So I was wondering, what do you guys do when you are in fleet, besides spam random **** links and gibberish?

Personally I just got back into "OpenTTD". http://www.openttd.org/en/ It is a transport tycoon type of game and you can play it singleplayer or with other people and it is pretty fun. You can setup railroads and bus stops and lorry stations and airports and transport all kinds of things. A transport strategy game. What do you guys do? I have two monitors myself, this is a big advantage.


I like to read tbh, usually something related to war history. Everytime I'm in a Supertwinkey 69 fleet I pick up Mien Kampf because I think he shares traits with the author.

Sometimes I'll hop on an alt and mine, or I'll have a chat to friends via Eve, ts3, skype, mumble and... urgh... Facebook.
