We could probably do it with 20 smart bombers if we catch him offguard.

Who are we to say if he is a loser or not.

He is just following his passion by playing EVE (albeit at a different level than most of the players).

Who are we to judge?

That one miner has the economy in his hand. As I have said before Miners run EVE.


Miners are fast food employees of eve. Miners don't run eve, they work in the slums of eve.

This is what happens when you multibox 90 accounts. I encourage all of you to do the same.

As you can see there are major downsides. There are much easier and less costly ways to make fortunes in eve.



That had nothing to do with my statement. Yeah you can blow them up however your little brain fails to realize he probably replaced all of that in an hour and made back 7 times as much mining. Guy who multibox like that have plenty to burn. So really all those guys got was a cheap thrill. Think before you speak.

I agree.

mining barges needed more cpu/pg to fit a tank, not an ehp buff with the same restrictive cpu/pg that leaves slots empty due to a lack of cpu/pg.

that way, those interested and willing to protect their assets can, and those that don't want to are left to the sharks.

it's like you've not actually read my posts.

once you've fit ice harvesting modules to a hulk, for example, you have less than 60 cpu remaining, and less than 12pg remaining.
consider that a t2 invuln requires 44 cpu. even a meta invuln requires 34, which is over half of the available cpu.
again; an arbitrary ehp increase is dumb when your ship will have empty slots due to it simply not having the pg/cpu to fit modules to it.

An object lesson on why CCP will never ban ISOboxer, or other large scale multi-char software programs.
There are enough people like this playing the game, that there would be a significant hit to the sub base, and CCP's bottom line, if these type of players were forced out of the game.

Then don't fit the ice harvester upgrades. You now have sufficient GP/CPU and two extra low slots to contribute to the tank.

so now i have empty low slots instead of empty mid slots. how does that resolve the issue that the ship simply doesn't have enough cpu/pg to fill the slots?

oh right, it doesn't.

like i said, it doesn't have the cpu/pg to fill the mid slots. as demonstrated by the fitting mod on your fit.
and i will scoff at the smalls; it's a cruiser sized ship it should be using cruiser sized modules, that would mean mediums not smalls.

also, does that fit work with ice harvesters? more curiosity than anything since i've already proven my point, and you couldn't make it work either.

another thing; you've removed the modules that should be in the low slots. no other ship has to either use both mid and lows exclusively for tank, or simply not be tanked at all as i doesn't have the fitting requirements to fill it's remaining slots. once i've put mag stabs on my vindicator it still has room for a more than sufficient tank, and a web. there's no reason a ship should not have enough fitting to at least fill the slots it has.

the exhumer rebalance was terrible; ccp even admitted it. if you want to say it was fine then you're welcome to.

Only reason I'd be inclined to do that is if I were confident I could tank the rats. Is that possible on a ret?

My Nereus can fit large shield extenders, should I complain to CCP that it should be restricted to mediums? It can fit large tank modules because the ship is designed specifically for large tanks.

The hulk is a yield oriented ship, hence why it sucks at fitting tank. If tank is what you're looking for, use a skiff or a procurer.

Yes.

Do. Not. Care.

I just want to see the bonfire that will result from all those Macks sucking up all those smartbamb pulses. Don't have any animosity for the Wiz - he's just doing his thing. But as mega-ganks go, this is the holy grail. The fact that he's remarkably hard to pin down only increases the grandeur of the eventual explosion.

OK. I'll complain about the Nereus's mining yield. After all, the hulk's strength in yield isn't justification for the Nereys's glaring flaw, right?
