Playing as a "healer"?

Not using voice comms makes no sense if you want to do that role in game.

Just curious:
Why can't you use ts3?

"Pretending to be female IRL or something? There's voice changing software you know. Google MorphVOX Pro."

...that's it!!!

No, it's nothing that interesting. I have to be quiet right now or I'll wake a certain kiddo. And that would be bad. At some point soon we'll be in a much larger place, and I'll have my own office again,so it won't be such a big deal. Well, other than the fact that I'll sound like a complete dork, but that doesn't matter, right?

Thanks again for the suggestions everyone. Maybe in the future I'll go the support route. For now I'm going to experiment with a starter condor fit and starter harpy fit and try not to get blown up too much.

Merlin...that's what I meant. Condor for speed and Merlin for brawling, right?

That's a fairly balanced fit I guess...if anything to get you started. As a primarily Logi pilot I can tell you that talking is not really that big of a deal. Listening is the big thing...plug in some earphones and listen and you'll just just fine for voice comms. You never have to respond back - especially if you're in a fleet with a bunch of corpies who know you do not talk. Most won't have a problem it. I know my corp wouldn't, at least. I am sure there's countless others that do not mind you having your mic muted.

But you can't Logi without hearing the voices of the other guys. It's just that simple...by the time people type and the delay involved with that you've lost your fleetmate.

Being able to hear other people call for reps is the most important thing. So if you had headphones you could listen in to voicechat without waking the kiddo.

Trying to play logistics solo is impossible. While flying around, both T1 and T2 logistic ships are too vulnerable to roaming frigate gangs.

Your best bet would be joining a FW corp, making it clear that plan to fly logistic frigates and cruisers, and that you can listen to voice chat but have limited ability to talk on it.

It isn't essential to hear you talk, but you need to hear the FC and the people you are "healing", Or things can get confusing.




You want to train minmatar cruiser up to 5 and fly a scythe.

Mail me ingame for fitting ideas or if you want to roam somewhere, I've been looking for good logi pilots :P.

Flying logi you will want voice, you are one of the few people in fleet who are allowed to talk besides the FC during combat, telling the FC who is neuting you/has you webbed down etc so he can call those people primary, updating if reps are holding now and then etc.

I came from guildwars to EVE having exclusively played the monk class in GVG. When I got to EVE I wanted to do something similar and very quickly worked out back then that logi was a part time roll that required lots of training and was pvp-centric.

Now, as suggested it's a great career path. T1 frig logi, t1 cruiser logi, t2 cruiser logi then carriers. It's a damn good career path and good pilots are very well respected.

It does require someone that gets more from eve PVP than killmails. So join an alliance or corp that has a goal you would also work to happily to their pvp rather than random pew as you will always miss out on killmails.

To good pilots, a logistics player that does not care for killmails and is focussed on their role is gold dust. To make iskies on the side now we have incursions so you can even carebear in between pew!

Step 1 is to get a headset. Talking is good but hearing is mandatory.
Step 2 find a lowsec corp with an ok kill board (aka no awox blue kills and a few good fights now and again)
Step 3 find out who their diplo/recruiter is and convo them to join as a pure logi trainee
Step 4 ???
Step 5 YAAAAAR Twisted
