Crime & Punishment

So what I hear you say is... I need to stop what im doing in Highsec and join people like you in low ganking noobs and mission runners in gangs instead of on my own where I am always outnumbered?

FYP.

Mostly this yes.

I have to give E-Uni serious props on their PvE content, as I've even used their wikis myself and they're generally up to date, accurate and helpful, particularly when I wanted to learn how to do PI.

When it comes to combat however, E-Uni students have no idea how to respond appropriately to a given situation and I'll give you an example of what I mean. Several months ago we used to roam to the low sec home of E-Uni at that time which was Hagilur/Dudreda when Amamake was slow and we'd bring 4-6 people and our fleet comp was always 1-2 tackling frigates with kite fits and capable of dealing with other frigates (usually slicer/comet) and the rest bombers carrying some e-war backup, because we had to cross high sec to get there anything larger than frigates could prove tricky.

Usually when we jumped into Hagilur there would be ~20 Uni members doing whatever and we'd grab a quick kill or two to get attention then not leave the system staying at a celestial or somewhere obvious. E-Uni would then put away the 15 rifters floating around and come out to fight in Hurricanes/Drakes and Blackbirds. Our bombers would damp the blackbirds out of the fight, tacklers would call their points/kill drones if needed, and the bombers would rain death on the battlecruisers. Soon Uni would warp out selling anyone still tackled down the river and the whining in local would start about how we were totally un-counterable.

What they never seemed to realize was that if nothing else the rifters would have forced us to leave. The bomber damage against the rifters would have been poor and the rifters would have been fast enough to catch them while the bombers were fast enough to stay away from battlecruisers. The slicer and comet could handle a 2-3 frigates but 15 would have been way too much, we'd have been overrun or forced from the field. It was precisely the slower/larger ships we had set up to fight and E-Uni would not disappoint because this is what they were taught to do. They are not taught how to respond to a gang that is unusal and so they learn to blob up for safety. To pretend we were going to wipe out ~20 E-Uni in one go is silly but we'd usually get 2 or 3 rounds out of them before they docked up and gave up but we'd get 2-3 BCs and a blackbird on most engagements for no losses. In short E-Uni pilots were putting away a fleet we'd have trouble with in order to engage with a fleet that would feed us.

New players need to know more than just how to fit a ship and follow FC orders. They need to know WHY the ship is fit the way it is and tricks they can use with the setup to gain advantages. Jude Lloyd has been working with his own training corp and what we've been doing is keeping the recruits in high sec arranged 1v1s against whoever they can find. We give them a fit for the ship they want to use and explain why we've set it up that way. They get on vent with us before they engage and let us know what they are fighting and we give them a quick run down of what to expect then have them tell us what's going on as they fight and we coach them through it. They pick up the basics very quickly this way and a couple of those guys came down for frigfest last week and were forces to be reckoned with, even in their T1 fit T1 frigate hulls. They are for the most part very interested in improving and branching out ships/weapons etc. Give these guys a few months and they will be monster solo/small gangers.

As much as I want to remain a neutral party in all this...... I must say UNI is great at tear extraction.

I'd love to know who this is, cos its not showing in the corp API logs or wallet info. The 0.1% tax rate probably has something to do with that.

Current oldest application in the queue is under 6 hours ago. Clearly you didn't check recently as its been down below a couple of days for the last few months.

As I was gone all yesterday I forgot to pay the bill

But lets pump the brakes on this subject real fast. First you call us noobs, now cheaters? If CCP looked at my wallet on my other characters it would quickly come to light that I could easily be in the top 20 of eveboards isk rankings. Expensive or not, I have no problem paying for fun.

Quit assuming......

It is quite obvious that you have never been into EvE Uni coms and heard any of the FC's, guest lecturers etc or you would know that they don't just get told how to fit something with no given reason as to why it should be fit like that.

I take it that everywhere you go in low sec you come across fleets of people who fly the right ships to counter you non stop and even the haulers who come through that high sec gate in Amamake are well trained in counter Hereticism....

Nice try on attempting to promote a has-been corp/alliance that's better days were last seen left on the faction war battlefield when Heretic's was run by the Man who actually FOUNDED it and his Co-Ceo who put all the hard work in getting Heretic's where they ended up.

If you want more recruits, you can achieve this easily by putting your money where your mouth is and going to EvE Uni management and doing some lectures, running some fleets and teaching them the plethora of your knowledge.

That's how Agony and everyone else who wants to recruit from EvE Uni does it and so far they are quite successful.

Or you could click on the automatic payment button so conveniently placed in the corp wallet.....

Jack of all trades....

Master of none!

Hypocrisy..

Abusing mechanics to suit yourself is OK is long as its you doing it???
