EVE General Discussion

Does your mother know you do that?

there is a lot that she does not know about baring she hardly knows me

Don't you think an abandoned orca is a bit conspicuous? also with the number of insta lock frigates out there nowadays I would not fly a pod around.

So.. it has been little quiet for the last 5 mins.. Maverick, will you post some more now or shall we call it a day and have some sleep. You can start posting again by 15.00 eve time if thats all right with you.

c ya soon.

gonna miss ya.

i think i might be in love..

so what you must but in time the it will cool and things will return to normal

the reason all this happened is because i am a new face and every one likes playing with the new kid in town till some one else comes along and then i will be old news

but your words are bad

you picked a fight over what looks like perfectly reasonable comments on a few (objectively) bad ship fittings.

On the Drake fitting linked above the first four comments are all constructive criticism with reasonable suggestions for improving on it - more resistances, mids/lows/rigs are not chosen well, too many tank modules overall, more damage would be nice, ...
No matter which way you look at it - this fitting might work well enough to get you through some missions but it is not good at what it does and could be easily improved on by following some of the suggestions.
That's no question of personal preference but a question of raw numbers & game mechanics. Your personal preference may be "passive Drake with some tank to spare" but while your fitting does fit that preference other fittings matching the same preferences would be much more capable than your setup.

now, the fun (or sad) part is that you picked a fight that is restricted to weapons which you don't master - EVE and words.

Your fittings show a lack of understanding of game mechanics and basic fittings theory - that would be quite understandable if you were a new player but they haven't improved one bit over the past three years.
Maybe you don't care because they are "good enough" for whatever you want to do with them and you feel no need to get better at this part of EVE - but picking a fight that will most likely carry over into EVE pvp may not have been a good idea.

Then there are words... you are bad at words but you like using big ones. You don't read books but you are writing one. You are a bad public speaker but you do youtube videos. Your spelling & grammar is atrocious at times but you never stop posting.
The military is a place where language doesn't matter much: words are just a tool to convey information as efficiently as possible, many exchanges are codified, sentences/grammar are purposely kept simple in verbal communications, there is no need to convince/sway/lure people, ...
Maybe your long time in the military (you probably weren't sitting at some air-conditioned desk writing lengthy reports and are damn proud of that) did make you forget the importance & power of good language skills a bit, but you really should take the time and watch your own youtube videos a few times (most people hate watching themselves on recordings but you yourself are your best teacher and most critical judge).
Your written & verbal communications skills are obviously not your strong suit, so why pick a fight that is primarily fought with words?

You are angry, you probably are a little drunk and you started the equivalent of a barroom brawl with weapons that you are hopelessly outmatched at.

In short, you are making a fool of yourself and you wonder why people keep cheering you on?

holy wall of text, what have I done

9/10

So you're going to whoop all our asses?

Come out and play!

Sweet tears are made of these...

I cant help but feel a strange mixture of pity and hilarity in all of this. I was going to go to bed but now I feel like heading to Jita to see what happens.
