Can you really slow boat it to Jove space without using jump gates.


Somebody did that already and although he was there,
he would have needed a session change to actually be there.

…oh, and let's not forget the downright silly amounts of chicken entrails sortilege some people are willing to engage in in futile attempts of at influencing the random number generator in the way it picks missions/spawns/drops/unlocks/whathaveyou.

You mean stuff like ...

"Hey when i center the camera exactly to the enemy ship, i only get wrecking hits !!!!!!"

?

Although i have to say that i have really tested this
and for some odd reason i got several wrecking shots ...
... it didn't work a second time. lol

They would probably test out wooden dowel man first, I think the cheer geekiness would appeal to them and they would probably try to design a legal multi-boxing system that could perform even better. Somebody email em, I'd love to see that on the show and I don't think they'll be doing any more explosions for a while.............!

CCP ended up whitelisting software keyboard mouse broadcasting methods, so as far as I know he's currently doing HQ incursion sites with ISBoxer.

And it's possible that stopping your ship doesn't set your vector to 0, I don't know, but I've left ships idling in small POSes long enough that they would have idled right out of the shields if they had any vector (assuming Eve doesn't keep track of speed to an absurdly high number of significant figures). I would guess that ships landing from a jump (gate or otherwise) would have a 0 vector.


If you are moving vertically up (such as approaching a station from underneath), and stop your ship, your ship will lose its current heading 'up' and fall more or less level. So yes, the vectors direction changes when you set speed to zero.

What you see on your screen != What the Physics engine is doing with your ship. (See: Warping sideways, etc.)

And that would actually be evidence to suggest that setting your speed to 0 sets your vector length to 0 as well.

I can't believe nobody mentioning goonswarm fed owning the CSM and doing RMT

oh wait, you don't think they're myths do you?

It's like Lawyer jokes. Lawyers don't think they're funny, and nobody else thinks they're jokes.

The myth busters would try to bust these myths:

- The Moons of planets are made from cheese

- Cloning is done by Storks

- Blond's can only use spaceships that have stickcontrol.
