So, T3 Destroyer gonna have cloaks and links, right? I think i'm gonna have my alt train up already

>>122521239

>>122521373
Huh, couldnt you make a unprobable one pretty easy?

>>122521508
possibly, but why bother?

>>122521508
>>122521584
I'm not very good at cloak stuff, if i put him on grid, could he boost and cloak normally? Would he be targetted by rats?

>>122521685
possibly, but why would you do links on grid when you can do them off grid?

>>122521940
Well i expect those to go out the window sooner or later.

>>122522173
hah

>>122522173
I can't see it happening really, would love it though.

anyway most link shitters in lowsec don't do safespot stuff, they just leave them on a gate or station, and then if people fuck with the link ship it just jumps or docks. there's nothing to it.

>>122520918
Do we have images of the other t2ds?

>>122522173
I might actually sub again if that happens. But it wont.

thanks remembering the link to old thread

>>122522438
that's not a t2d. and yes, there was some leddit/imgur thing somewhere of them.

Well, would getting a nighthawk for my alt any good? He is already skilled for it, and i guess the extra dps could be usefull.

>>122523828
what do you want to do with it

>>122523973
Accompany my main in blitzing lvl4's. Currently he's mostly sitting in station updating orders, something he can do outside. I mean, i see no reason not to have him do something more productive.

>>122524095
just put him in a second combat ship, links would be really inefficient

>>122524213
He got really shitty actual combat skills tho. He was the booster of my mining fleet a few years ago. He got 0 weapon skills.

>>122524328
ok. but links aren't going to do much for you. you can get like +40% dps tanked, but level 4 missions are so laughably easy already that you can already pretty much max out how much gank you can fit on a ship. and it's not like the tackle range, speed tank or ewar links will really do you anything, since eve pve is so garbage.

would links benefit a polarized mach?

>>122524654
not really, since it doesn't get resists and the armor and shield amount it'd get would be at most 10-15%

>>122524494
Frankly, there's a fair bit of Paranoia pon my part. I mission in one of the most active systems, and i see a high amount of ganks around. I would feel better with a bit extra bling if i also had links on top of those. And as caldari extra lock rage would mean never having to move.

I want to setup a POS in highsec,
somewhere about 4-6 jumps from Jita
to do t2 manufacturing.

Will I get wardecced into oblivion?

>>122525946
why not just do T2 manufacturing in any station with industry?

>>122525946
I have exactly that. I got wardecced a few times. Often when i fucked with people in local.

>>122524654

>>122526020

>>122526165

>>122526020

Actually, i'll probably get a citadel or a assembly thing when able. Make it public with Lowish taxes.

>>122526038
>>122526038

what was your wartime strategy?
Just remove the POS, wait until the war is over, and set up again in the same place ?

>>122526540
Remove the juicy modules, take the tower, give it to my alt in another personnal corp, put tower back up.

>>122526165

> you get a huge tax, something like 10%

Only job installation cost is taxed.
10% off like 3% of total expenses.

>>122526916
Again, it depends. I do a lot of researching, and maxing my Charon bpo ME cost close to 4 billions. Doing it in stations would be an utter nightmare.

>>122526715

Ok, thank you.

Last question: is your setup small, medium or large ?

>>122525946
>>122527063

there are a few places that are VERY quiet near Jita that would help you keep from getting wardecced. convo iKill Giants for location

>>122527110

I used Cald Medium before, but i took a long break and coming back i retired 2 of my alts. Currently with a small i can run both laboratories and a few manufacturing modules, so i'm staying small until Citadels comes around.

If you want to get faction standings quickly it's one of the best Data Center agents in the game. You can run it with Connections 3 and 0 standings if you just run 1 level 1 mission for the corporation and can boost you from level 1s to level 3s faction standings if you run the other data centers.

Just did a career mission. Lots of enemies, but I could avoid most damage by orbiting around my target.
I noticed that my 75mm Gatling Rail I missed more frequently than it hit though. What can I do about that?

Every gun has a range, no? YOur railgun should have one too, from where it does hit.

>>122563691
Fall-off of 7.5km, optimal range within 3.3km. I orbited at a distance of 1km so my Light Electron Blaster could get decent hits, too.

>>122563764
Well, I suggest that optimal distance stands for optimal distance, but I am not sure.

>>122563960
The text says "Optimal range within" though, so I'd assume anything shorter than the specified range is optimal too...

>>122563532
>>122563764

hover over railgun or open the module info, there should somewhere be 3 numbers labeled "optimal" "falloff" and "tracking"
at the "optimal", your gun has a 100 percent chance to hit a stationary target.
at the optimal ± the falloff, the chance to hit decreases by fifty percent.

if the target and you are moving, tracking comes into play. from your perspective, the enemy ship traces an arc along a sphere whenever it moves. your gun follows it, also moving in an arc as the barrel tries to stay pointed at it. tracking basically is how fast the barrel can swivel to hit moving shit. it makes sense if you understand geometry but if you don't or don't care then basically more tracking = more percent chance to hit moving shit. if something is sitting still and you're orbiting it should technically be sitting still from your perspective but that's not how it works because eve is stupid. tracking is the reason that orbiting enemies makes it harder for them to hit you.

if the problem is that you're not orbiting at optimal, try that. you can set your default orbit distance in the quickbar. if you do that and you're still missing, you've fallen prey to eve stupidness and need more tracking even though that makes no fucking sense. equip tracking enhancers.

>>122564082
btw even if my explanation is out of date and/or wrong using it still works well enough to keep be doin dmg faggots. its how it was explained to me as little goon back in 06 and im stickin to it.

>>122564082
>if the target and you are moving, tracking comes into play.
I think that's where to problem lies. Looking at the weapon stats, the Electron Blaster has way faster targeting than the Railgun, which explains why the former hit, but the latter kept missing.
Thanks!

But that makes perfect sense, guns have to rotate if you move yes?

Also allows plays like matching the speed of enemies following you to shoot at them

>>122567442
if you're actually orbiting perfectly and the enemy is stationary, no, the guns shouldn't have to move. they would each point directly at the enemy, while you moved in a circle with that enemy always staying in the same place relative to your ship. If you walk in a circle exactly 30m around something that's on your left, it stays 30m away to your left. if you point your finger at it, your finger's never going to move away from it. from your perspective, it's not moving, even though you are, it's just rotating which isn't a problem for aiming.

but eve doesn't care about simple fucking geometry and the most basic relativistic logic ever. your guns won't even visually turn as you orbit a stationary object, once your speed levels out, but you still get a tracking penalty.

>>122570282

Protip for data sites: Bring a cargo scanner and scan all the boxes to see if there is anything worthwhile (Optimized decryptors or POS tower blueprints). Vast majority of the time they are not even worth hacking.

Relic sites can be valuable, especially if you run several.

If you know what you're doing, running DED sites in lowsec can be profitable. But you're going to want to be comfortable flying cruisers and battle cruisers through lowsec gates and watching D-scan. Find an empty cluster of systems, move some ships and a jump clone out there.

Range and spool up time means they are useless for gang warfare. You will jump one ship maybe 2 out of a gang and will die either in the 9 seconds before you even manage that or immediately after landing 100km. So what do you use it for? Defensive jumping? Nope range is too small. So what's the use in it?
Then just to make sure nobody ever uses them we'll ban them from the one place they could be fun to use just to mess with people.

>>122577552

No I want the punisher to not be shit

its going to fucking suck in fleet engagements, its like this bastardized "semi-light-heavy tackle" that won't be able to hold anything because its so fucking slow and can't catch anything because its fucking slow. Using an incursus, merlin or anything with more than 2 mids would be better purely because that third mid allows for a web which will stop any ship from getting anywhere even if its AB fit.

People don't use mallers because its slow and unagile. Its only redeeming factor is its tank, but thats all it can do. I'd rather have a vexor in fleet because the vexor is faster and has a superior weapon system.

EVE is all about speed, if you're unagile and slow you can't do shit

you wonder why people default to fast kitey shit? its because brawling shit doesn't work for anything because its slow and cannot compete with the kitey shit

Thats the whole point of the balancing

Fozzie "balancing" a frigate that STILL won't get used because its problem was that it had a lack of ability to compete with other ships due to its lack of speed, lack of agility, and lack of 3 mids

oh but giving it a 4th gun, a little extra CPU and PG thats exclusively going to be used for that 4th gun and a 5th fucking low is going to fix its lack of speed, agility, and ability to tackle? I think not

>>122577852
why do you think the punisher is slower in a buffer fit than other combat frigates? why do you think it being slower is some massive problem?

>anything with more than 2 mids would be better

what if you need the extra tank to survive? what if you're tackling ships that don't particularly need to be both webbed and scrammed?

>>122578643

>>122578643

>>122578295
>why do you think it being slower is some massive problem?
because the meta focuses around being fast and agile, two things the punisher isn't

all that tank in the world won't save you against being kited to death because you can't do anything with it.

>survive
survive being riddled to death.

>what if you're tackling ships
implying you can tackle because you can't catch them.

>people did use mallers all the time
fucking hardly, there are a slew of ships that were better purely because they were faster.

>yea like 1%
a vexor with a MWD goes 1677, a maller with a MWD does 1593, thats with no trimarks, or plates. The plates are going to hurt the maller more because trimarks kill speed based on percentages and plates are going to make it even slower, the vexor will be better purely because its faster and the maller will never be able to catch it. People use mallers as cyno bait today the same way they use drakes for entosis bait "oh please shoot at me while I light this cyno!" Its far more than 1%, it extends out when you overheat, it makes leaps and bounds over it, speed is everything.

>not for killing people very fast
set of hammerheads with 2 DDA's gives 340-ish dps, thats pretty high for those drones, the maller with heavy pulses (if you can fit or run them) gives out 380 with two heat sinks but thats with the shortest range ammo for an effective range of about 14km at the edge of falloff.

>what is the relevance (of kity shit) to this?

brawlers NEVER win against kiters because kiters are faster, more agile and take advantage of slow ass ships

Theres a good reason why the drone ships are number 1 in PVP kills.

'the meta' also involves not dying. if your tank isn't enough, then you'll die

implying you can tackle things when you're dead

no, maller fleets were pretty good

plates hurt the maller less

the maller will never be able to catch it? what the fuck fleet engagement are you talking about here

340 ish dps that's delayed, which means logi is more likely to get reps on

again, what is the relevance of kiters? you aren't saying fly kiters, you're saying tanky slower amarr brawlers are worse than very slightly faster gallente brawlers, even though the amarr ones have ranged immediate damage, which is a nice way to deal with kiteshitters, whereas having combat drones flying around slowly being useless isn't nice

The tank of kiting and staying out of range of enemy damage is superior than face tanking all the damage. It is always superior to NOT get hit at all than to face tank it purely out of buffer.

>maller fleets were pretty good
at not catching anything, I'd rather have a fleet of omens because of their speed and their ability.

>plates hurt the maller less
it makes the ship even heavier, and makes it agility go straight to shit even with armor layering 5, trimarks apply even WORSE speed makes this thing barely get out of 1300m/s cold

>its delayed
once its on, its on, drones are fast as shit, they aren't like missiles where you're constantly waiting for application, the drones get there, they stay there and rip shit up. Theres a reason why drone ships are the number 1 pvp ships.

>what is the relevance to kiters

I don't know how I can get you to see the value of resist bonuses and extra lowslots. you make it sound like they're just totally pointless. some ships have more utility shit, some ships have more tank/dps. the ones with the utility shit is usually more useful for smaller gangs. generally as fleet size goes up you value your tank and instantly applied damage more than the flexibility stuff

by being significantly more tanky it gets a niche, regardless of whether or not you or the 1v1 fags will use it. if its fitting is decent enough I'll probably use it. what puts me off using it at the moment is that its bad fitting and lack of dronebay means it just has low dps and not as much tank as it should get. if after the changes it can do a reasonable fit I'll be down. when I've got 10 frigs brawling someone, I don't gives a shit if they all have both a web and a scram. when I'm snagging a kitefag I don't give a shit if I have a web. there's plenty of situations like this.

>the cheetah has less cap than a shuttle

they usually are more valuable, but sometimes they aren't. it depends what you do. like I said if you're in a brawl you don't need 30 webs. so often it just comes down to your shit dying and you lose, or your shit lives and you win. having a load of webs isn't going to magically keep you alive, and in a frigate fleet it's not like I'm using those mids for target painters or remote boosting or whatever.

But the malediction has a fucking resist bonus and uses rockets/missiles which means you apply your dmg fully while moving at top speeds.

that 300ehp is huge for a ceptor, its not uncommon to run away in hull.

>yea 30dps is great and all but the raptor would fair better purely because it gets a bonus to light missiles
you mean the crow, problem is the crow has a shit layout with only 2 lows you won't be able to afford speed or reps.


>>122584287
be a memelord all you want but every bit of dmg helps, on a gunnery ceptor you won't ever track for shit unless you're shooting something huge,

>>122584753
Exploration is mostly a solo venture. Look for wormhole corps, i.e. All-out instead.

>>122584627
>forget about RR
its about raw buffer m8, the resist bonus barely helps because the amount of armor the malediction has is so fucking low it barely makes a difference.

>>122584763
>that 300ehp is huge for a ceptor, its not uncommon to run away in hull.
300ehp is like the volley of grazing shots from some Warrior II's

>>122584763
>track

it's more of a range issue. you can track with turrets, but you still need to use high tier long range guns, which are really hard to fit.

not that light missiles are easy to fit - you shouldn't be compromising your tank/speed for those either. best interceptor highs are nos, core probe launcher and festival launcher.

>>122584918
Alright. I do have one more question. Sometimes I see that dotlan and the in game map are reporting different numbers for ships destroyed in the last hour. Which one is more accurate?

>>122584929
>300ehp is like the volley of grazing shots from some Warrior II's
thats kind of a big deal

>>122585012
In-game.

>>122585075
not really since warriors fire once every 1.5 seconds

>>122585197
that's a assuming all 5 graze, which won't happen even if you're at cold max speed

>>122585012
dotlan's data will be older. ccp doesn't just let you fuck the shit out of their api, you can only pull the information so often or they ban you or something.

dotlan is way easier to read though since it's an actual proper map, rather than an overlapping mess of bullshit. the only thing I look at on the in-game map is the active pilots in space in the last 30 minutes data, since you can't get that out of game at all for some reason.

>>122585075
>>122585197
>>122585340

pls stop saying dumb shit. more tank is good, and drone damage application is very spotty against fast targets

>>122585475
not really since warriors can chase faster than interceptors and have amazing tracking on destroyer sized targets (which the sig radius of a MWD interceptor is)

>>122585583
they still are out of range 90% of the time just due to how drone ai works. doesn't matter how fast they go, try it with a ship with a speed bonus if you like, 8km/s drones against a 5km/s ship. drones are stupid, they get into range, then they go into slow mode for ages and the ship goes out of range, then a few seconds later they'll go fast mode and catch up and get another volley or two off. they're terrible.

Data site runner from earlier here.
I just got blown up, with 13m worth of brand new loot. I should've just went back the same way I came, rather than following the game-generated route.

I saw them at a stargate, but didn't worry because I jumped immediately. When I came out, they were already there again and warp scrambled me. How could they get there so fast? Or did they interrupt my jump somehow?
They also killed my capsule before I knew what was going on.

Guess that's what I get for not being careful enough? At least I learned I need slightly better gear for nulsec data sites, I blew a few up.

Don't go back via gates. No matter how well you play your cards with the cloak and speedboost, when the other side of the gate is a bubble it is entirely up to the campers' skill if they can bump you out of cloak or not.

Instead, take a wormhole. When you have your loot you just take the first wormhole you scan down and keep jumping until you find your way back to lowsec. Just remember to always bookmark the wormholes you came from.

Next time try staying longer, you can easily fit more than 100m of loot in a t1 explo frigate. And invest in sister probes.

Question for industrialist in here.

Do T1 BPO affect the effectiveness of a T2 bpo you invent it with, ie do researchign my T1 BPO before copying them help the T2's?

Isn't wormhole space super dangerous for the uninitiated? Or is it actually fairly safe once I have a cloak on my ship? I fear jumping through a hundred wormholes without exiting wh-space, what are the odds?

>>122592742
odds that that happens are nonzero if you know what you are doing and zero if you do. look up what wormhole statics are and check the class and statics of each hole you jump into. lower class holes are more likely to connect to kspace. some holes (c3s) are guaranteed to have a connection to kspace.

consider using thera (and http://www.eve-scout.com/) as a sort of bus station if you don't want to find your own chains home.

>>122592742
its pretty empty overall and very rarely bubbled/camped because of how the WHs work

>>122592742
When you are cloaked, the only thing that is a danger to you is bumping an object/ship, which reveals you. So as long as you cloak and put yourself out of the way while you scan (which you should be doing in nullsec as well), you're perfectly safe. Usually you'll just be cruising through the low level wormholes which don't even have people in them anyway.

I think there was a site where you could look up the exits to a wormhole without having to just blindly pick and hope for a good exit eventually.

>>122592742

Just make sure you bring enough probes to get out or you're stuck there forever.

>>122590538
this is literally what I meant by being able to warp cloaked will save your life.
if you had hit a cov ops cloak instantly after beginning warp, they wouldn't have been able to lock you.

>>122594291
He's flying a t1 frig m8. No covops.

>>122594291
even a regular cloak would have saved him, the guys that killed him had no dictors.

>>122594242
>bring enough probes to get out
But I can just recollect them after sending them out, so why would I run out of them? You're talking about Scanner Probes I assume?

>>122594291
Yes, cloaking's real important apparently.

>>122594789
>But I can just recollect them
they die over time
they last like an hour of being outside

>>122594291
Personally I prefer t1 explo frigs (probe), yeah there isn't the covops cloak and the hacking bonus is smaller, but the entire fit is so cheap you can risk it and shave off 30 minutes entering nullsec by using gates, whereas with t2 you'd have to avoid bubbles on the way in as well as on the way out.

plus since exploration is a newbie thing it's nice knowing that a monthlong train doesn't really help all that much and thus isn't something you have to do

>>122594897
don't bullshit him

>>122594948
>don't bullshit him
m8, if he forgets about them and goes to take an hour long shit and comes back to no probes hes fucked, always good to have 2 sets.

>>122594616
>>122594948
earlier I was going over the merits of an astero as a low-skill character with extra cash. being able to use a cov ops cloak was one

>>122594640
you can't warp cloaked with a regular cloak. he might have been able to eventually escape by slowboating away or do some weird mwd trick, but it's so, so much less certain than just hitting warp+cloak. in an instalock situation, that's really the only thing that's safe.

>>122595395
well no shit the covps is way better but thats 4 days away or something, if he wants to do some sites on the meantime at least use a regular cloak

>>122595395
The problem is that even with a covops cloak you'll still die to bubbles and now you're running a much much more expensive ship so you have to avoid gates more not less.

>>122594897
>>122595067
I wouldn't dare AFKing anywhere though. Is there any other way they can get lost other than reaching maximum flight time?

>>122595395
>>122594948
>>122595541
So, I should always travel with cloak, and stick to WHs for my return journey, even with a covops cloak?

>>122595642
the real takeaway from our clucking is that there is just no way to be 100 percent safe. never fly what you can't afford to lose, and this is coming from the astero guy.
however, bubbles are not a concern if you don't travel into nullsec/whs. lowsec is about as safe as it gets when you fly a covops cloak ship.

>>122595642
>I wouldn't dare AFKing anywhere though.
With a cloak you can afk from downtime to downtime and nobody will ever find you, assuming you are far from gates or celestials of course.

>>122595541
>The problem is that even with a covops cloak you'll still die to bubbles
Never warp to gates at 0 if you think there is drag bubbles/camp and you'll be good.
Dying to camps in the in-gate is a lot harder, they need a really fast frig to decloak you and even then they have to be good.

>>122595541
It's pretty goddamn safe, if you are good at burning from bubble camps on a fast covops ship and they still get you then you can rest assured they were far better than you at the game.

>>122595541
it's quite possible to get out of some bubbles with one mwd pulse and the covops cloak's lack of speed reduction means coasting out is still likely even if that one pulse doesn't do the trick.

>>122595642
you can afk as long as you want while cloaked, really. hell, once i got a covops and learned what i was doing, i'm fine just scanning while orbiting a wormhole or a gate at 30 while cloaked.
yes, always travel with cloak
personally i stick to wormholes mostly and only do a null loop when i find a null exit from my chain

>>122595854
this is all correct, but might be a tad misleading - yes, lowsec is as safe as gets *when it comes to travelling in a covops ship*. but it's probably the most UNSAFE space to actually hack in, given the small space, high population, and number of people looking for kills.

null has gates and bubbles and that's a bad combination. wh does have bubbles, but it's a pain in the ass to put them on wormholes that only last a day so i find wormholes to be safest all around.

>>122595642
Yes, a cloak lets you go afk in space and be completely safe, and it also makes you safe while you're scanning, and if someone is scanning you all you have to do is get away from the objects in the site and cloak up.

Replace your afterburner with an MWD, because it will let you do the MWD+cloak trick (google it) and because you mostly need it for crossing sites where you spawn 30km from the cans, not for fine maneuvering.

Get sisters probes because they are cheap and will easily increase your loot.

>>122595854
>if you don't travel into nullsec/whs
the exploration money is in nullsec, lowsec is a waste of time while also requiring much more focus with dscan

>>122595893
>Dying to camps in the in-gate is a lot harder, they need a really fast frig to decloak you and even then they have to be good.
It entirely depends on whether their interceptor pilots guess your direction well or not, which doesn't sit well with me. If it is out of my hands either way and I'm flying a 100m ship, I'd rather use wormholes on the way in too, which kinda negates the point of the expensive ship because it's making me waste time entering nullsec. Naturally this is highly subjective and I'm in the minority.

>>122595854
>>122595893

>if the problem is that you're not orbiting at optimal, try that. you can set your default orbit distance in the quickbar. if you do that and you're still missing, you've fallen prey to eve stupidness and need more tracking even though that makes no fucking sense

you gun has a signature radius. The target ship has a ship radius. divide the target ship radius by your gun's, and then multiply that by your gun's tracking.

Signature tanking is a thing.

big ass bubble which, if you are inside, you cannot warp.

if you pass through one while warping, it will pull you out of warp inside the bubble. this is dangertown.

they don't break cloaks, but people that use them know this, and will be moving around to try and bump stealthed ships, especially when they see a new face in local.

they can only be used in nullsec (including wormholes)

>>122597109
Okay, that's pretty clear. That also clarifies why they're (apparently) not as common in wormhole space, since there aren't as many ships going near wormholes as there are near gates.

catching a covops that isn't terrible is pretty much all luck. Sensor boosted cockbags thrashers and faction frigates have lowest possible lock time (1 tick = 1 second) so it's where you end up on the server tick that determines win or fail.

That shouldn't matter, I have never been able to tackle a ship that used his cloak in time, and I've rune some damn cancerous 5000 res svipul camps.

>>122599728
please note that purchasing a plex costs more dollars than purchasing a month of game time. if all you intend to do is sub, buy the game time; it's better value. purchasing a plex with money should only be done if you intend to sell it for isk.

>>122602124
I meant without having to bump, there is a grace period where you can activate the cloak between breaking the gate cloak and you cannot be targeted.

>>122600632
pre-heated faction scramblers/disruptors cycling, mwd on, q-click the target to approach if you miss lock, i've caught many a covops and interceptor.
protip: anything above about 2400 scan res is a waste. Min lock time is one server tick, which most fast lockers can get pretty easy. There is no way to affect where your lock lands on the server tick.

>>122602346
>there is a grace period where you can activate the cloak between breaking the gate cloak and you cannot be targeted.
no, no there isn't. When you break gate cloak you're cloaking in that server tick, the same tick where i'm locking you. If you land higher priority on the server tick your cloaked and moving, i miss my lock, that's why i'm approaching as well as locking. Where you land on the tick depends on what the server is doing on that tick and cannot be messed with by players.
There was a thread on it last year and a dev blog explaining it.

hmm have you tried gittin gud?

this meme has been proved false, it just helps very little, but it does keep affecting it.
The latency between you and server is also really important, remember server ticks are not exactly 1 second, you can tackle ships just barely below the 2 sec align with over 5k res and amazing ping.

>pre-heated faction scramblers/disruptors cycling,
this still requires some luck, the gate is always gonna be in your way to some extent if you want to be sitting at the same distance the ship can possibly land, the covops ship can also bait into changing direction, theres a lot of directions in a 360 setting.

>>122602719
Yes the fucking is, sauce: me never dying to a gate camp ever in my entire EVE existence, you can always safely cloak if you do it within 1 second of breaking the gate cloak, approaching is different.

First time I have actually played the game longer than a week. Been having fun exploring, got blown up in null twice so I'm just gonna stay in lowsec for now. Is it best to wait till I get covert ops cloak before I upgrade to an Astero?

>>122604415
there is no purpose flying an astero without a covops cloak, so yes

>>122604415
On the cloak yeah, I would just wait till you get your astero if you're dying a lot just to save money if saving enough for an astero alone is a problem. I enjoyed the Imicus a lot for exploration early on.

>>122604334
so just because I sometimes fly covops on my scanning alts or on my hunters to avoid giant fuck you gate camps I'm risk averse?
I would call you retarded but I'm sure you wouldn't understand

I can't take on carriers with my Tech 3 cruiser what the fuck that is bullshit CCP I am paying you.

>>122604415
if you have enough money to keep replacing herons (which you certainly will before you have anywhere near enough to buy an astero) i'd suggest continuing to stay in null/wh. the times that you do manage to make it back home with loot without dying will far surpass the money you could have made in lowsec while not dying at all.

Both times I got blown up I was in an Imicus so I just decided to switch it up with a Heron.
>>122604762
I think I will head back into null after this trip, but I don't think I fully understand what wormholes do. I can scan one down in high/low/null then enter it. It either takes me to w-space or somewhere in null correct? If it takes me to w-space tho, do I just do my regular thing? Scan down relic/data sites in there then just leave where I came from?

You can scan wormholes down anywhere. They might lead from anywhere to anywhere. High sec to low sec, low sec to wormhole space, null sec to low sec you name it, they've got it.

>heron
Fit a rangefinder array. The heron would be the best t1 frigate because of its slot layouts if you have equal racial frigate skills. Otherwise just use the one you're most trained in.

Oh and you should buy +3 implants to faster train your skills. Just stay in low sec so you don't lose them. Set up a jump clone for when you feel like being suicidal.

>>122607576
I have heard of implants but I have never bought them. How much would that cost me?

>>122607524
>every fucking t3d gang will have links

implying they don't already

if they use these things for links they're just going to get fucked

>>122607818
+3s are roughly 10m each. You'd want to get one for each of the four main slots so it amounts to 40m. If you're feeling rich, you can buy cpu boosting implants or some other shit too so you can fit your ship better.

so does the MJFG cause the ships to go in the same direction as the command destroyer or in whatever direction they are facing?

>>122608174
>If you're feeling rich
There is some entry level booster implants that go for really cheap really recommend them for exploring new players once they can fly astero with covops cloak and slap a sister probe launcher with sister probes, its the point when you have to git gud and give yourself some results.

>>122608434
same direction as destroyer

>>122608663
Whats the name of the entry level booster implants?

>>122604415
Wait until you can afford a couple Asteros, they are painful to lose. Also you only really need one if you're going to kill other explorers with it, or run limited sleeper sites. If you're going to avoide combat you can still make a lot of isk with a covops.

I can guarantee that if you'd tried to sneak through that a couple times you would have at least one loss to a camp in your 'entire eve existence' *cough- 6 months?- cough*. If not, it'd have nothing to do with server ticks and everything to do with being in a stabbed ceptor, t3 or covops

Sneaking past brave is literally the easiest fucking shit to do, also if you know there is a bunch of faggots tryhard camping a gate asnd you don't think you can make it then don't fucking try to go through there, there is this thing called map information kids, you should check it out new players, it lets you see jumps, kills, cynos in the past hour its fucking amazing check it out.

No.
Seeing as it was the most violent system in the game for months, intel probably wouldn't take more than a single brain cell. But hey, why bother? Sneaking past that is 'literally thye easiest thing to do' right?

You don't have a clue do you?
The point about AU TZ PL Brutixes showing up to die to a giant camp is they can take a loss for the sake of action and fun. While you, who has never lost a ship to a camp ever, can't even concede a minor point in this thread and you're coming apart like a poodle in a blender.

It was during the AU timezone, where very little happens, people would roll to GE- from all over the map to bash on Barve and some guys had seen capitals get DD'd on the undock in their first week in the game. There's experts in this general who've still never seen a Titan.
Nah, you just can't talk shit about what was then the largest subcap group in the game getting farmed by PL primarily and everyone else generally. They had more action in a week than many groups see in months. PL could have kept it going for years but their line members wanted regular roflstompings and cap deployments to fuck with sov and structures, Barve membership just burnt out. By the time they were in Fountain their leadership was asleep at the wheel or getting couped for the 24th time. They weren't organised enough to cure BL wrecking them and failed all the way to lowsec. Now they sit in Cloud Ring in W- all huddled in one system with test and some others all sniffin each other's farts.
