I am just having one of those "Oh sh*t"-moments..when you are finally getting a joke that you heard years ago.

Players with a penchant for Latin have repeatedly noted in here that "Noctis" is wrong, since it is genitive- the ship should be called "Nox".

But now when I read the name of the other ship that shares the same hull, I finally got the joke:

Primae Noctis...as in Ius Primae Noctis.

Bricks were shat.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Inventor here.
All cool inventors fly Blockade Runners to get their BPs to lowsec installations, pick up datacores or purchase moongoo.
So that would be a Prowler in your case.
Also, its may be something of LOL-RP, but I really like to fly every ship /module that I produce. It's like product testing. The fittings that work best for me usually work for other people, too, so it gives me an idea which modules to invent and manufacture to sell them with the hulls.

Remind me not to buy rigs from you. Big smile

My invention toon flies a Magnate, an Itty V, and a Viator.

Magnate most of the time, because it moves between POS arrays quickly.
Itty V to transport materials from station to POS.
Viator for the odd BPO I need to move (and for some reason don't want to send via courier).



Add in charon or the gallante freighter because you may have to haul mods to market.

Fast travel between regions:

- Anathema with T2 warp speed rigs, 21.1au/s ( 24.9au with 18% HW implant)

Low sec / Null:

- Blockade runner

Moving billions worth of BPOs from A to B:

- T3 tanked & ready to engage or avoid ganks / Cloaky sub is a good option

For roleplaying scientist stuff:

- Echelon friggy, little green thing with spinny radar dish and other crazy science stuff tacked onto it.

That's what Courier contracts are for. My setup is a fair distance from Jita, and I'd have to make about 230 runs to break even buying a freighter over using Couriers, and that's assuming that my time is worth nothing and that there is 0 risk of loss.

Red Frog Freight Services are your go-to for hauling services. My corp uses them to move stuff from our manufacturies. The only transport we do is from the W-Space to K-Space. Red Frog does the rest. Saves time, is very efficient.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Red Frog, Push Industries, Haulers Channel all work well and have different prices.

Red Frog is usually the most expensive of the three. Hauler's Channel isn't always cheapest, but it's almost always the cheapest for rush orders or high collateral.

Fair points.
Red Frog has always done a fine job for us - never a default, never a loss. Agreed that tthere are other fine hauling services, each with selling points in their favor.

*shrug*
We stick with a known provider who has a solid history with us. You milage may well vary.

Proper collateralization means that I really don't care whether my package arrives or not. In fact, it not arriving means I get ~10-20% extra profit and don't have to go through the effort of selling anything.

But to each their own, and each option definitely has differences in delivery time.

Agreed that collateralization means no *financial* loss. Still, if you're looking for certain components to show up in a certain place, and they don't, that's annoying.

Anyway, I guess the bottom line is that a scientist or industrialist need not worry abuot making their own deliveries, unless it pleases them to do so.

I have it on good authority that scientists fly Velators/other rookie frigs that are fitted with deadspace/officer mods.

Cuz they can.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

I wanna be a Scientist,but dont kno wut ship to fly

any good idea for fast fly?



A real one will fly a shield Vindicator with slave implants and a DCU II, Off grid boosting, Falcon alt/s and of course someone to remote rep and of course eventually another alt.

A good scientist will also have a good market bot and will be playing 0.01isk games off line while his ratting offline Tengu and Skiffs and filling his wallet for about 12h/day -just in case someone notices

The very good scientist does not play the game, no need when GD is there to know everything there is to know, amIrite?


Real answer: scientists fly Xl-ASB fits because every one else of you who don't, you suck !!

Literally any ship would do, when i did invention, i made so much isk that i just bought ships to keep in my Corp's storage array just to hop into any i wanted, was fun, if i remember correctly i enjoyed orbiting my zealot..

..Invention is boring
