EVE General Discussion

OP, you need to ignore that guy, he's...."not right" in the head and you can see that by how he's making up stuff out of thin air..

The rest of us get what you're saying. Glad you are enjoying the game.

I'm sorry you grew up parentless sir.

Why you keep focusing on the implants man and they weren't even all that, come on mid grade? Like dam dude, find a new topic to stroke your fake online representation of being such a glib, know it all, when obviously you're just a mouth breather with nothing better to do than probe around instigating things that have nothing to do with the relevancy of what's going on.

I made this thread in the morning before work. So yeah, move around or something. Its just ISK man. its a virtual currency. If I wanted a few billions I could easily come out of pocket and buy 3 or 4 plexes.
But, like the first time I ever bought a plex to use a currency. I asked in help chat, verbatim, "Will this ruin the game for me?" Why? Its TOO much money, too fast. Similar to playing The SIms and using cheat codes for simoleons rather than just focusing on getting your sims higher paying careers and slowly building your home. I never use cheats in that game, but my SO will happily magically print herself out a few millions to build the biggest home on the block. I don't find satisfaction in that. At all. I've never once begged for isk.

Damn bro you done came in the thread and sucked away all the fun and laughs. Don't you have a cat to rub?

Originally, I had an astero which served me well, which as ive mentioned was a loot and scoot boat. It did that very well. Then I thought, well the stratios might be better and I can probably /kill/ someone in it too. So I researched a hunter-killer build, then I stumbled upon stunt's fit, or something like it. My original fit on it was pretty close but I had actual turrets on it instead of Neuts. There was a guy in Local who kept telling me " use neuts man use neuts" then he showed me a video of him in a strat that was able to take on a bunch of people solo. I altered the fit to use active repairs only. After I fitted the neuts hours later it was finally ready.

I fitted my ship as I intended to be in WH for a long time. I got impatient went outside when I didn't need to and decided to try and get to a LS area on my own and fell into, which I assumed would be there, a gate camp. I took that risk anyways.
The depot was in there for sites. To clarify, I NEVER INTENDED TO USE IT IN NS or LS. Stop bringing that up.


You got it almost right, everything after point 2 was wrong, but hey the effort though? But you're getting annoying with the constant assumptions of wanting isk donations. If you want me to be one ( a beggar) then fulfill your own self proclaimed prophecy -- which you're desperately trying to produce from me -- and send me over some isk, if that will make you shut up and get off that topic.

Someone lost an 11bil isk pod with high grade ascendancies to CODE. yesterday. He was mad af.

Kinda like how Salvos is on a good day.

Anyway, OP, you'd be best to ignore Salvos. I've seen you around in help channel, and you may have seen me. In fact, I know you have, because that's the exact fit I criticised for being active, and shared with you a buffer alternative with a demonstration of mine in action as well. I hope you'll reconsider using the one I shared with you when you get right back into it. Good to see you use the neuts instead of the lasers, at least.

Anyway, all's fair in love and EVE. Just don't make silly deals with Salvos. Or, do, and then post on the forums anyway when he hands over the isk.

Cool story (bro). Nah meme aside, seriously. This is what I like about EVE PVP. You remember your kills and losses (and great escapes) for very long time, that sometimes even I surprise myself I remember a fight in so much detail after all these years (sometimes my memory gets a bit clouded, but when I check the KM again it all comes back - that's why I like KM, they are like photo albums heh).

A bit srtrange though you died in a Stratios with covert-cop cloak to a low sec camp. I can imagine scenarios where you could end up in very unlucky position coming off the gate cloak after the jump, or just bad timing for lag that gets you target locked, or you warp to a gate in a wrong way and get smart bombed, but in LS where they have no bubbles a covert-op cloak ship should be able to go through gate camps 99.99% of the time, and no, you do not do MWD+cloak in LS, if your cloak is a covert ops cloak, you re-cloak as soon as you lose the gate cloak just warp cloaked. Unless your ship aligns extremely slow for some reason, it's very unusual to lose your ship in low sec gate camp when you can warp cloaked.

So I think this part is probably something you could consider and improve on too? I'm curious how you got tackled in the first place, whether it was just bad luck of the position coming off the gate cloak, or if you've made some mistake there which you didn't have to. Figuring that out will also be a good experience for you.


Just to add: I have 'decloaked' some cloaky transports at LS gates before, using the usual 'approach in that direction' thing, but mostly because I got lucky and I saw them decloak pretty close to me, close enough for me to get there before their ship can align and warp out cloaked. If they come out of gate cloak and they are like 20km away from me then I still try sometimes, but naver had real success there.

Having said that, I caught quite a few industrials trying to use MWD+ (regular)cloak trrick. They have to sit there for quite long time for the MWD cycle to finish, and although I won't say I can do this 'reliably' as I know quite a few dictor/inty pilots can do this very well in null, but I can pull it off every now and then.

Well on the other hand these things make me ignore zkill comments. I once saw Chribba's HG ascendancy pod loss mail, and trolls get on zkill to post 'noob', lol no poor.

HS or wherever, there are reasons why someone may fly something pretty expensivie, but on zkill commenta people don't think about that. And I bet for every loss mail that looks really stupid there is some understandable story behind it, and people who lose billions in ships/pods can generally afford it.

lolz.

now, if memory serves correctly, someone (PL possibly?) had to pull a Snuff and offline a tower to get that kill. iirc: Chribba himself then acted as the third party on the sale of his corpse to a collector.

I got owned at the gate because they were expecting me most likely. When I made the decision to warp there, my intuition told me not to and just get back in the WH, but I proceeded anyways. When I made it through the gate, the camp started moving to where I was so they knew where I was anyways. I tried to MWD and stealth but I was insta locked and you know how it goes after that.


Speaking of so, the MWD trick got me out of every gate camp I was in with my Astero. However that ship I fitted to be a loot and scoot, the strat not as much.


I got my Astero refitted last night, and thanks to the help of a poster here Remiel Pollard, I was able to save a few good decent fits for PVP in the near future.

Moving forward, this defeat has taught me a lot about eve. As well as the people I've spoken too. I realize now that there is a lot of mechanics I need to get down before I can get into PVP first and I acknowledge that now. More importantly learning to prioritize targets, maximize resources by not over-ticking toggles, and not having a fail fit stratios. With every loss comes a gain, I guess I was trying to do too much at once so ive decided to hit the WH for the next few weeks doing relics and building my wealth so I can begin to afford my other projects. Not really tripping off the implants or anything it can all be regained in the near future. I'm returning with a better perspective than I did before my quite explosive encounter..
