EVE General Discussion

Are you referring to me?

This is the only character Ive ever posted on, and unfortunately, also my main.

Ive no interest in leaving, though I had to take a years break due to IRL, nothing to do with the game itself.
Im enjoying the game immensely atm and glad its still here for me to return to.
Its a huge relief away from my studies and frankly I cant afford either the time, expense or hangover of going out.

Thankfully I had an isk reserve sufficient to PLEX my accounts for a few months while I re-align my activities.
Its hard and Im barely scraping by, but as I said in my initial post, I accept the challenge.
I am doing my best to adapt.
Hopefully I will in 2 months have made enough to additionally multitrain a second character on an account for a month, for more options and content in EVE.

I do remember the E1 fiasco.
Im quite proud of my contribution to the resolution of that, and stand behind it.
It was a cancer. Id attack it and kill it like chemo all over again if it raises its head.

I dont even remember who Serene is/was.
You are being, well, paranoid, loyd.

I'm getting curious now. Who else is he supposed to be?

I said of him
"you are so thoroughly concussed by the wrong end of this particular stick that explaining it further would be waste of both our time"

bonus points if you remember why i said it

fair point, i supose we are being a tad harsh .
show of faith, here i am at the eve-dublin meet recently
(hint:hair and i look absolutly nothing like my portrait )

not touching that e1 topic again nope nope nope.

i do rather like the op you put up though, echoes my own feelings somewhat (barr the plex bit).

La nariz, yourself and myself were labouring the point of afk cloaking (i think) with the person in question,
isd Ezwal incinerated the thread a couple of time if i recollect

Wow, look. Someone posts a topic on GD so the residents tear him limb from limb based upon identity, suspected alts and previous posts. Rather than reading and replying to the topic.

And you wonder why this forum is dead

Out of curiousity.. how many skill points are we talking about where you feel things are well built.. and are you still flying just one set of racial ships, or more than one? Given the incredibly complex nature of Eve.. what you think is 'freeing' may not

oh fine, divine entervention

My favourite troll, makes grown men scream. Also his kb nearly made me choke to death. Might bounty him again.

What difference does it make though? I have a fair idea of who loads of alt posters are, and their alts. Rarely get trolled by any of them tbh (although it's nice that they make the effort).

Good question.

Im not well built. Lot of "wasted" SP. But Ive finally got most of the basics down that apply to flying most ships well, and managed to specialize in some hull classes, per account. Result of that, is its now much less effort for me to cross-train into other races hulls, especially in t2 hulls of those classes.

Different weapon types are now my biggest hurdle. Missiles in particular help here, as do drones, as a bridge to other race hulls.
Armor/shield therafter.

There are many categories like interdictors, logi and ECM that would require substantial training beyond the hull type and the basics, in completely different directions. T2 BCs are also very time intensive (strange class). I cant speak to BS< hulls at all. Not to mention mining types (which I have little interest in).

Infact the more I write here, the more I realize how much more there is that I cant do yet!

I guess my point boils down to that once youve got the basic flight skills, armor/shield, and some hull class specialisation down, more options become commensurately available, than before.

If I manage to multitrain another character, I will be far more deliberate and specific in its training, because I now understand better what skills are more or less universal. Also because I have other existing characters, I can tailor the new ones specialties to synegize well with that which the others need/lack.

As to industry/research/PI/trade characters, with their own extremely specialised non-ship skills, this is not something Im experienced in.
Id however expect that in those as well, once you pass an ambiguous SP benchmark, you start getting greater commensurate rewards at equal effort, with greater efficiency. That, and the SP base starts to allow you more opportunities and even more importantly, to become more creative with how you apply them to the sandbox.
