EVE New Citizens Q&A

I haven't used zkillboard much...

I primarily use my private killboard, and when looking up public information use eve-kill and BC.

I like how BC easily allows me to check on a player's associates, and check out a player's "Known ships" information. It's just not used as much as it used to be (::sadface::).

Zkillboard is nice, but doesn't quite generate this content in such a quickly accessible format (which is what I need when I have 45 seconds to decide if I'll engage or not, and their fitting choice is the difference between a lossmail and a killmail).

Frankly, I disagree:

Compare Tengu Siege boosts, to Drugs, to Crystal Implants

Here is the TL; DR of the details:

The Blue pill is not terribly expensive (400k for Synth to 30m for Strong), is single use (you consume it for a 1hr boost), is hard to transport (contraband in highsec), and effects ONE pilot. It also has a decent likelihood (20-40%) of reducing your Capacitor, your Shields, your Optimal range, and your missile explosion velocity by 20-30%, depending on which strenght you use. Regardless, the max shield boost is 40%.

Now, the Crystal Set runs about 2.1+ billion isk, is in danger of being destroyed (if you lose your pod), and only effects ONE Pilot: Max Boost: 50%.

A Fleet Boosting 3-link mindlinked Tengu: Which may be sitting in 100% safety inside POS shields, gives EVERY pilot in fleet a 125% boost to shield repping ability.

I originally posted numbers, and can again if you really need proof, but that tengu booster is more effective than giving every pilot in fleet a set of crystal implants and strong boosters combined... .and then some!!!

An implant set AND drugs combine to a 90% boost in shield repping.... to ONE character.
A boosting tengu gives a 125% boost in shield repping, to EVERY character in fleet.

And the boosting tengu can have additional links too.... or even more ridiculous, they can use a boosting tengu, a boosting, loki, and a boosting proteus at the same time!

Forcing them to be on grid won't reduce the ridiculous level of boosts they give, but they will be very vulnerable then, and much easier to take down!!!!

In short, boosters (especially off grid boosters), severely unbalance ships. This is something you need to watch out for when looking at PvP, as it dramatically alters the capabilities of any ship receiving their boosts.

+2 warp stability? Seems rather obvious: Plug in the MWD and orbit at untouchable speed just under the max plex range and still be able to warp out safely when the gankers show up. Kind of like the "gunless Rifter" thing only better.

Also keep in mind that a Venture could, if someone really wanted to, be fit with guns & stuff and be (poorly) used as a frigate.

Surprised everyone isn't doing it.

You're so not a monster...If you could be a terrorist and a good guy mixed into one; it'd be you. The main thing I have always liked about your conduct is that you're not a trash talker. You're honestly one of the few gentlemen around when it comes to wardecs.

From what I've gathered about you over the past couple of years is that you're a total Fa Zheng when it comes to tactics.


There is a fine line between pillaging/murdering/destroying to pillage/murder/destroy and pillaging/murdering/destroying to teach.

I commend you for your services. o7

I'd suggest they don't even bother fighting him. They probably can't afford to recoup losses repeatedly.

Edit: If they can afford to recoup their loses then I'm all for it being a learning experience. I'd wager that they haven't learned the lesson of not flying what you can't afford to lose.

you know Kane considering you say your against veterns going up against new players but seem to have done it for me

Well, there are 2 posts on the front page of the New Citizens board complaining about his wardecs against their corps. I say he is using delicious tears as sweetener for his warm beverage of choice.

Just learn how to play while wardecced.

If you can't move around in highsec while wardecced and only a ferw people gunning for you then you are going to be the one bent over when you decide to go to Lowsec or Nullsec. Earlier you mentioned:




You have that completely backwards...Seriously.

Everything in Eve is relative. What may seem like an unbeatable veteran player to you may seem like a complete and utter noob to many reading these forums. This game is in the over ten year old category. A few points about this:

1. Age alone doesnt mean experience
2. Age alone doesnt necessarily mean good skill point choices
3. Age alone doesnt mean you cant gang up on him, bait him, or call in some friends to help you win outside of corp (remote reppers or people you invite to your war dec as allies)
4. Players in eve tend to evolve a bit over time. A guy war decking rookie players in high sec is probably not the most skilled pvper. He is probably just looking for easy targets. Which makes him ripe for you to kill if you choose to set him up properly
5. Nothing in eve is fair. Older players preying on younger ones is normal. Scamming or tricking young players is normal. Things that are not allowed in other mmorpgs are normal in eve. This game doesnt play favorites. Only things specifically listed in the eula are not allowed.

I guess you dont know who Cannibal Kane is, Disastro?
But if they had the balls to team up against him they might just get a kill or two.
