So you will either

a) Use T1/Meta modules only.
b) Use officer Modules.....

Have fun with that.
There's nothing wrong with T1 hulls ( especially the ones that have gone through tiercide ), and Meta 3/4 modules.

Also, sexy pirate hulls are sexy Lol

Mr Epeen Cool


Right on.



Also, not all your tech 2 purchases use technetium. Look for producers who build with synthetic product (platinum whatever-its-called).

I think any T2 item made with alchemized stuff should be flagged as such. That way you know whether you're buying the top-notch OTEC stuff or the knock-offs.

Why pay for name brand when generic will do just as good? Big smile

Yep, so no using T2 mods of any kind. No Exhumers, no HACs, no jump freighters, no command ships, no logistics - nothing. No T2 hulls of any sort.

I would recommend going around ganking anyone using such ships and modules. Spread the message - free yourself from the shackles of OTEC!


I think I can give up Command ships and Jump Freighters without too much trouble.

Not having the skills to fly them makes it easy.

Please let me know where you go ratting because you're either going to be an easy kill (T1) or a juicy kill (faction\officer)

If you purchase from Special Certified Alchemic Manufactures, you know you are getting a quality product without sending isk to big OPEC. Just look for SCAM logo, and you'll have piece of mind.

The cartel isn't really relevant anymore, as the price of tech is effectively hard-capped by the price of cobalt+platinum+fuel blocks.

Yes, they do still control all those moons, but they can't set prices through cartel action since alchemy was introduced.

Heh,

I endorse this.

Don't use officer ships and mods though. Just use meta 4 NPC loot. Pretty much the same stats as T2, at a fraction of the cost.

Start raising those meta 4 prices.

For weapons, though, and tank mods, you give up a decent amount ...

True.

CCP needs more T1 meta4 gun variants that are as good as the **** I make. There's just not enough NPC loot to compete with.

Magic loot, best loot.

LOL@ at people who use T1 player made stuff, you're stupid.

Pretty hard to beat the whole getting 8-10% more from the skill for T2 weapons. Even officer stuff can't...

Stupid to have an.event where sine 28000 ships are destroyed?

Stupid to fit an expensive micro auxiliary core when a t1 provides enough powergrid and cpu is not an issue?

T1 exploration mods when t2 have high skill training times and faction are expensive or a loss is certain?

There are ample times when t1 non-meta items work well, are the best option cost-wise, or the only option. Just because you don't realize that doesn't mean you need to belittle others.

More fun to be had if you like the pew in battling T1 stuffs instead of expensive T2 (unless you like station camping in Jita or Hek, then you're just pathetic).
