There are such people?

Many.

Stream whatever activity you're doing, preferably with as little delay as possible. Make sure that everyone watching can hear your teamspeak too.

Make sure you choose the right race for the ships you want to fly. It's a waste of time to cross train.

Yell in local that you've been tackled in a belt in a system with 23 belts and 3 ore anoms, while yelling about it in local get angry that no one came to help you.

When tackled by a war target in a mission complain on teamspeak that nobody was watching local for you.

1. Make sure that your ship cargohold is big enough to carry most of your valuable stuff with you at all times.

2. Lasers are the best weapons, because they don't need ammo. Who cares that you don't have skills to fly an Amarr ship, down with the slaver filth and their fake gold. Laser Hyperion is more awesome.

3. When fitting your expanded cargo laser Hyperion, don't forget that big ships need point defence against small, fast-moving targets, and NPCs like to kill drones. So, fit both Large lasers as the main caliber, and Small lasers for destroyers and frigates, like any respectable World War I battleship captain would do.

4. Being independent from station facilities is important. Both Hull repairer and an Armor repairer are a must. You can save MILLIONS by fitting a small hull repper to your battleship.

5. Don't forget that it must be cap stable, and with at least one Warp Core Stabilizer to help against the evil player pirates.

If you feel like jumping when the rest of the fleet is chilling on gate while the FC is checking intel, just tell your intention by saying "jump" on comms and jump.

Yeah I read through the thread a second time to be sure, I couldn't believe it took 57 posts.

Don't bother to get a mining permit if you plan on being in highsec.

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff

This is actually good advice. Jjust learn how to mine effectively and annoy the twits that think they are relevant.

To spite you and use this as good timing to play that other game I always wanted to get into?
Sounds like great advice. Seriously.

You go ahead and tell everyone how we lose our immortal souls by not being in a "player owned" corporation. Tell us all about your friends, and how easy they were to meet, and what a lovely time you have. Don't bother telling us why people's "employment histories" are so LONG. IT's probably their lack of character, and has nothing to do with the land of TRUST NO ONE.

Yes, my history is huge. Heck, even two of those entries are due to joining a jump clone high sec corp.

Maybe the songs are actually good or the priest has a gentle touch? P
