EVE Information Portal

Literally a file system/virtual disk living in your spare RAM. You will of course need enough RAM to allocate a disk large enough for EVE resources. And you will need to copy between the RAMdisk and your regular HD every time you restart your computer. But it should be speedy fast.

Many free software options to set this up, though I have personally used ImDisk in the past. EDIT: And here is a guide to using ImDisk on a site that doesn't seem too horribly sketchy.

The bait and switch with assist/guard with vague promises to fix capitals sometime this year (anywhere from 3 to 9 months) completely removed the good will I had remaining after you completely ignored all the feedback in the Fighter Assist threadnaught. I have not renewed any subs for the patch and will let this account lapse when it's game time expires in a few weeks. I don't think I will even bother coming back until after I see a plan for capitals and only if I like what I see, which is probably unlikely seeing as Fozie hinted at completely idiotic ideas like making supers into giant command ships. You've lost my accounts for what is likely the rest of the year and perhaps beyond that. The only possibility of my sticking around in the short-term is maybe plexing the super accounts in order to extract them from my POS and safe log in low sec. That will be the last income you will see from me for a while if ever and only because leaving them logged off in a POS that will be torn down in a null-sec location that will likely change hands in the summer does not seem like a good idea in the possibility that I later return. You guys better have something really awesome cooking because you have done a lot to alienate myself and others recently. Don't forget that we are not just players, we are paying customers who put food on your table, and we deserve to be treated with respect. Bait and switching us after we spend so much time training and acquiring isk, or even buying plexes for said isk, is not a smart business decision.

Just uneducated New Age WoW Kiddies leaving games cause nerfs ;)

Kk thx bye

World of Warcraft is ---------> this way

the assign changes were fine as long as we got assist instead, as stated in the blogs...
then poof. its gone without any warning.

Wow kiddie? been playing eve 9 years. and ccp have systematically destroyed every item I enjoyed in the game. capitals, , sc's, titans dreads, years and years of working into them and ccp just say **** you we don't want your kind here.

fighter assist was the one thing that allowed smaller corporations to hold their own against large alliance roaming gangs. it got removed.

these proposed tz mechanics push eve into a job role rather than a game role.
basically destroying everything I have spent years working towards.

the titan account has been loged on twice duing the past 21 months. and has been unsubed longer due to its uselessness
theres no point renewing the sc toons.
the carrier and dread toons are becoming pointless.

so what the point putting effort into a game that no longer gives anything in return

I was all for the removal of off-grid fighter delegation, and was very excited for the prospect of ASSISTING my fighters to a sebo'd tackle Huginn. Patch up, realize they REMOVED THE ASSIST/GUARD functionality at the last minute, which was a large part of why myself and a LOT of other people were happy to lose the off grid delegating ...

Way to bait and switch CCP.

Lets get support for A, but actually we were planning on B all along.

I understand it's broken, and I agree that skynet can be a big problem. I just think removing the problem area completely without an actual fix to replace it is bad form. Both options are unacceptable as it's either too much or too little, like having 0 or 2 with the goal of 1, but not giving us a .5 or 1.5 to work with in the meantime. I think the on-grid assist/guard would have been a good option until they actually do the rebalance.

I do appreciate your point, and we both want a move in the right direction. CCP was moving in the right direction, but then went clear to the opposite end of the spectrum.

Another good point. Capital ships should present heavy damage. As a U.S. Navy veteran, I look at it like naval ships. Aircraft carriers are the focal point of their fleet. They carry massive firepower and can project around the world.

I see the normal carriers more like the Wasp Class LHD (like a smaller aircraft carrier with amphibious assault capabilities), while the supercarriers are the Nimitz or Gerald Ford class full size aircraft carriers. Sorry for the U.S. Navy references for those not from the U.S. but it's what I know lol. These ships have a support fleet, have a lot of defenses, have a ton of firepower and are fully capable of using that firepower to protect their fleet.

As for Titans......well I don't have a good reference.

Point is, there needs to be balance while making the capitals worth using and training for. Yes capitals make it hard for small alliances to become a force in nullsec, but we can't just punish those alliances who have grown and gained capitals simply because others don't have the same.

All this nerfing of ships that is supposed to make different ships fit different roles is really making the game flavorless. Everything feels watered down. Balance is good, but too much "balancing" is becoming problematic and soon nothing will be exciting anymore.

To everyone crying about the removal of skynet and how they weren't notified and deserved to be compensated...

The issue was that fighters were going to be allowed to be Asisted/Guarded.
The link you provided was refering to Fighter Deligation. Why CCP Rise decided to call it Assist is everyones mystery. Carriers were not able to "Assist/Guard" before this patch. It was Deligate. Deligate was what skynet was about. The Patch Notes for Scylla stated that the Deligate was being replaced by Assist/Guard. Once the patch came about, that feature as well was taken out Last Minute without letting the Eve Community know of this last minute change.

This is what the majority of Carrier/SuperCarrier pilots are upset about. CCP was trading one lasting Mechanic which made Carriers unique, to another Long Lasting Mechanic which would make carriers Big Logistic Shps with a Big Drone Bay.

But after Scylla release, no features were traded. Just Removed...

Wouldnt fighter assist have been exactly the same thing? A super carrier @ 100 km aligned to warp out with all of its fighters assisting other interceptors in the area?

Sure the supercap is on grid, but it's basically just as safe as in a POS. I guess the only difference is one can be cloaky camped :P
