>Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
Yes of course!

>I just started, what should I do?
Get a referral from someone to get free sp, beg for it here if you have to.
Do the Opportunities then all the Career Agent missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp. The game is only as boring as you are.

>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No.

The whole point of BRAVE is to spoonfeed drooling retards just enough info to turn them into useful little drones that will mine and rat for the corp wallet while spending all their surplus Isk on overpriced ships. The shitters in charge entertain them with just enough low effort content so they stick around for a while. Most quit the game after a couple weeks.

>What is the difference of complex running and running missions?
DED plexes are dungeons with loot as reward. Missions are more like mining with guns. They don't make much money but they're always there when you want to run them.
>Which ship would you recommend for a newfriend for PvE?
Depends on your race.
>Is there some sort of meta when PvEing with other people, like some sort of equivalent of the MMO trinity (healer, tank, dps)?
EVE just has DPS and healers (logistics ships). Sometimes people use a ship as a tank.

Thanks for the helpful reply my man.
Is there some kind of guide on how to play logistics ships? I've always enjoyed playing healers and more support oriented roles in every game, so I'm leaning towards logi. Is it super hard/expensive in EVE? Is there a demand for more logi pilots? Sorry for spamming questions, this game is overwhelming (but very fun too).

>Can I solo missions as a new player for mad dosh?
Low level ones, not too good vs exploring or ratting but still ok

>What is the difference of complex running and running missions?
Complex are escalations that you get from ratting or scanning and often have multiple rooms with no real isk until the very end and it can be very random.
Missions pay you by turning them in after completing the objective, and maybe some tiny loot drops.

>Which ship would you recommend for a newfriend for PvE?
Usually drone boats (Vexor, VNI) are the easier to fly with low skills, if you are alpha it will depend on your race.
Also battlecruisers are very easy to get into for a new guy to run missions with.
After that, its all battleships and T3Cs

>Is there some sort of meta when PvEing with other people, like some sort of equivalent of the MMO trinity (healer, tank, dps)?
Incursions.
You will need a battleship to do those.
There is not really a tank, but the logi equal healers.

>>161098593
Logi for PvE does not exist aside from the Logistic Cruisers which require a lot of SP.
As for PvP, its hard to say, it depends on your corp.
Most of the time people will either go for logi fleets or not, because of how logi works you can't really be a solo logi man unless you are very brave or know what you're doing.
The demand to have the logi skills is high tho, the problem is that's not the only thing you should be able to fly.

Your best bet is probably joining one of the big nullsec newbie corps if you want to fly logi all day. You might also be able to do some PVE stuff meant for bigger ships in a group of low SP pilots.

they're all pretty shit

the rupture gets 4 guns and a double damage bonus that gives it about the same as all the other cruisers with 5 guns + damage bonus its pretty shit.

Stabber is even worse, gets 6 high slots, but only 4 guns and 2 launcher slots that are pretty useless. 4 mids and 4 lows makes sure you can't fit ANY tank or ANY damage to this piece of shit

No it doesn't because medium projectiles are shit, you only get 4 guns instead of 5 and every other cruiser just flat out damages you in almost every respect.

actually, no, its faster than a confessor and just barely slower than a svipul, but the grand majority of them never have webs or AB so you can dictate range, if they have oversized you outrun them.

what are you talking about, every confessor and svipul gang or just microgang shit is gonna have scrams and webs and neuts at that.

what are they gonna do?
sit in defensive and do no damage while I burst rep their dps like a joke with blue pill?
go sharpshooter and die instantly?

I never said any of this.

You're projecting that your 3 enemy svipuls have absolutely no webs, neuts or any kind of respectable tank because you somehow think this fit will hold up.

I also notice YOU have no webs at all, so "range control" goes out the window when something has a web on you or

So you're not expecting a dual prop svipul with a scram/web? like this one?

tons of people use armor svipuls because you can then do scram, web, dual prop

Stop being an idiot, the svipul can be fit in at least 4 different popular ways with auto cannon or artillery, shield, armor and any combination of that.

This isn't special snow flake at all, its a common fleet svipul

that means you're in web and scram range of the confessor too, since you don't have a web, the confessor is inherently faster than you. Same goes with the svipul.

You can "hold range" on it, but then you're not pinning anything with a scram and they'll just leave

you're so fucking thick, I could put water in a boot, write instructions on the heel and you'd still have a hard time pouring it out. Waffles is a huge lowsec entity that uses armor svipuls in their T3D fleets which is comprised of both svipuls and confessors. The Svipul can EASILY do both armor and shield for what ever it wants. you want to pretend like it doesn't exist because you're a picky ass faggot and can't back up your claim that you somehow scram a confessor but somehow its impossible for webs to exist on confessors and svipuls and you magically win against 900 dps worth of T3D's that are shitting down your resist hole against your 9 XLASB charges that are gonna go so quick it'll make your head spin.

>>161106562

so you've never actually fought armor svipuls, maybes thats why there are so few losses is because they're so good and don't die.

>>161107249
you're still failing to understand an important distinction here. what you're talking about is a "MUH LOGISTICS" blob that waffles forms up to go be cancerous with. none of these ships are able to function on their own at all
whereas if you're out soloing in null and people undock some things to kill you, or they're fucking around in a small gang of like ~5 guys or camping or whatever, they will be in shield fits. any kind of actual skirmish where it's not you getting tackled by a linked snaked interceptor and then 30 logis land on you, it's going to be shield svipuls
oh and if you're mwd web scram the scythe will still dicate range on you. you could do dual prop but you'd need to stay in speed mode and therefore die instantly. I think it's time to kill yourself now honestly m8
>>
>>161107432
The hair styles get rendered weird.

>>161107673
I wouldn't consider plexing an alpha to be really viable

>>
>>161107870
>its cancerous so it doesn't happen because its a blob and it doesn't count
you're just cherry picking because you magically think webs on svipuls and confessors don't exist and you can somehow take on 3 svipuls/confessors with your shit fit SFI that has no range control, shit dps and tank.

>solo-ing in null
have fun getting circle jerked by EVEN BIGGER blobs.

>if its a mwd web scram
and the webs from the other svipuls don't exist? and dual prop svipuls don't exist either I see, you like to pretend you're a big mr hyde or a chessur and kite for days

>>
>>161107673
>What should I do?

You should try the game out and see if it suits you. It can both be something you spend all day, every day on, or a thing you log into once or twice a week/month.

As for making enough dosh to PLEX, it's going to be hard at first because of slow training and limited ship choice, but the older your character is, the easier it gets to PLEX.
>>
>>161107673
>Is the idea that an alpha clone can make enough to PLEX without spending your entire life in the game sane?
I'll tell you what I would have told you if it was back to trials and I'd given you a 3 week trial and you subbed for a month.
Think of a plex as a huge mound of dirt you have to move. Right now you have a teaspoon. In a little bit you can get a garden trowel. Or, you could wait half a year and have a sweet shovel or a mini bulldozer, even, if you focus your training.
Don't worry about plexing. Spending even 3 or 4 months subbing and not worrying about grinding isk is the way to go so you're not burnt out by the time you can more easily grind a billion.
Or you can fuck around with wormholes, just move out to lowsec or NPC Null first so you're not getting into the same holes all of the other alphas from highsec are.

check out your dumb projection again, you completely deny that webs exist on svipuls because of this dumb notion like they're simply not allowed to fit them. You somehow assume (and know) that these 3 rando svipuls ALWAYS have dual MSE when you have absolutely no idea how they're fit.

Go ahead and try to scram or brawl with svipuls, you'll lose and die, you have NO ability to range control even if only one of them has a web. Your tracking is shit so when a svipul brawls back with you he wins

Don't get caught. If you're tackled, it's pretty much over. Your jammers may help but honestly it's just a lot easier to watch local, align to a thing or bm down the belt, drop your speed and just spam warp if something that isn't a mining ship (or anyone otuside of high) lands on grid.

the same speed, with an AB, 900m/s, with a MWD, over 3k easily. You so much as scram the Svipul and he wins every time.

>data suggests otherwise
you have no data or evidence that T3D's don't run web's you're delusional.

Heres some data. Brawling with a svipul is a fucking mistake. You do ZERO damage out to 2km because your tracking is shit. this is against a svipul with NO AB on, in prop mode

If you're in high sec you want to fit for as much effective health as possible. You don't need to escape, you just need to stay alive long enough for concord to show up and kill the guy who is attacking you. This means shield extenders in your mids and field extender rigs.

1.0-0.5 is all highsec. The differences are the time it takes for concord to respond and that 0.7 and below has belt rats.
You won't get to lowsec till you're in 0.4 or lower.
Before you venture out, learn to use your directional scanner. Having it set to 360 degrees and shorter range with an overview that shows all ships and combat scanner probes will give you time to get safe. Using a narrow cone of 15 degrees and long range lets you scan gates for camps or smart bombing battleships. While you're in highsec, autolink the corporation Shuttle Phobia. Click to show info on them, go to the alliance tab, It should say CODE. (with the period). Right click to show info on that and go to the members tab. Click on each corporation and set standings to bad or terrible. You'll be able to see them in local and know who they are if they land on grid with you. They are your biggest prblem in highsec.

I don't know, this should have been a projectile ship. It has a web bonus but you can't do anything with it really since your rockets only get out to 10km and your scram out to 9km.

You can do like 120dps with rockets and 2 BCS, you get 3 drones which gives you like 50dps.

Its tank isn't that great either. So despite webs getting out to 15km, you can't do anything with the extra range and its pretty much a bastardized breacher

It gets a rocket explosion velocity bonus which is fucking retarded because it doesn't need it at all because your web keeps an enemy still anyway

So for 13 million ship and 9m in fittings, you'll still get shit on by a comet, or a tristan or what ever
>>

oh yea and it might be a neat idea to use webs and then put a disruptor on it for long range kiting but it only gets bonuses to rockets so you can't kite with it regardless! wew bad balancing!

pls kys. there's basically no minmatar missile ships or caldari hybrid ships. don't be a faggot nazi. web range bonuses don't mean kiting, they specifically made it rockets only so you have an honourable kitefaggot remover rather than a condor with a 20km web

have you ever tried fitting a hookbill? it has 1 launcher more than the vfi and it has less powergrid. it also has more mids for high-cpu modules, but it has less cpu. it's also a gross fat brick, while vfi master race is good and fast

I'd have to scram without a hull speed bonus and just rockets, I always liked long point and dual web for lol fits though.

They're not better at being ships I like. I flew the vigil in gangs for like a year. If I was in a frigate, I was in one of those.

the hookbill does way more damage, can hold way more tank and has longer rocket range

I meant hull rocket speed or fuel bonus.

>>161113009
the vigil fleet issue has nothing to do with the vigil. none of the navy ewar frigates are related to actual ewar frigates

>>161113047
actually the hookbill does less damage, and it mitigates less damage, and it doesn't tank better, and it has no fitting and it's slow as fuck

It looks like it. There's a reason I flew a lot of tristans and nemesi and never touched the latter after CCP decided it should look like a retarded crab.

There is a similar process of buying clone soldier tags and converting them to security status increase at Concord stations.

How to roam null in a cruiser? Whats a fun region?
>>
>>161118125
Get cruisers. If you're rich or know the ship, go to town. If not for both, think about meta 3ing some modules. You'll learn more if you can fit 1 and a half or 2 ships for the price of 1.
I don't know where is fun, but alphas should be all over.
>>
Ok morning aside are Amarr good at anything?

Also are Alpha clones actually capable of doing anything fun or worthwhile or is it basically an extended free trial where you can't do shit?
>>
>>161118351
They're good at having long optimals for guns without choosing the artie/railgun option. They're bad at having midslots.

You can easily faction war with an alpha. You can do wormhole archaeology and shit too.

npc null is rather empty with a few exceptions and the stations are free port
lowsec is the dangerous ones, unless they're L5s

You just join a null alliance and kill anomalies in their space, it's not missions, it's better money than missions.

It's also safe because you can just dock up whenever a neutral shows up in local.

There are levels to nullsec. It's -1.0 to 0.0. The further you get towards -1.0 the better the system is for bounties and shit.
>>
>>161120243
NPC null is like lowsec but in null.
Mostly sub factions and pirate factions, their LP is worth a lot more than the rest.

>Also aren't most null alliances full autism and require a ridiculous join up/comms program process
not all, but yes the ones with the more sov have requirements for fleets and stuff

Not all of nullsec is capturable by players. Nobody can deny you access to npc null stations unless they use bubbles and death to actually prevent you from docking.

Some null is unclaimable because NPC pirates own it. The space is kinda shit but a free for all.

Player null corps vary from no standards at all to full autistic. If you don't want to put in effort just going horde or something and do some in a navy vex. Just be sure to join defenses fleets because the space will never not have neuts in it.

>>
>>161129570
You do them only in carriers because you can't do them in any other ship.

You only do missions that can take a carrier which means no acceleration gates

This means you'll decline tons of missions just to get the small handful of missions you can do which means you'll need at least 2 pullers with high racial standings to get the missions

Your carrier is fit for Max dps and you align instantly using the mwd trick and an inertial stabilizer towards your station /citadel

No, you only get faction standings (not corp) via storyline missions and only the character who gets the storyline mission gets the standings increase

You can do cosmos missions with your character which will give you huge jumps in faction standing
>>
>>161131240
Also the people in fleet with you only get Corp and agent standings shared. Not faction standings
>>
>>161131454

Wait so the only way to boost standings with the 4 main empires is their story arcs and cosmos?
>>
>>161131567
Storyline missions from doing 15 level 4 missions too

Faction war missions also give faction standings
>>
>>161132061

Ok so let's say I want amarr standing. I can do missions for any of their corps and I'll get a storyline mission every 15-16 missions that boosts my standing with amarr itself? I feel like a fucking retard but I get confused between all the types of standings.

Because CCP is incompetent, the current roster didn't write the game, they inherited it from someone else who didn't document anything.

The amount of false info in this thread is amazing. Been playing for a week and some friends brought me up to date with what is scam and what isnt. So here are my 2 cents. The best way to get to money is mining. Mine the best mineral in high sec and sell it right away, broker fees will end up eating more of your profits than selling it for a bit less than average. But first off finish the tutorial and the game will give you a mining ship. Took the game a day to give me the ship so you might have to wait.

Cont?

I'm a newbie Omega, I have 8 mil after SoE arc and agent missions, and I don't know what to do now.

I've trained all the basic quick ship slots, learned Minmatar cruisers (which evidently are complete ass) and I just want to make a good cheap ship I won't QQ about when it gets blown the fuck up.

I guess since I play solo I should rat? Some people say mine but that seems kinda boring.

Any advice would be great. Looking for a corp too.

do not leave the MWD on at all time, only to build range from your target (railguns have worst tracking, meaning at short range a ship with good transversal velocity will miss your shots)

Yeah alright, doesn't really tell me which ships or fits are good but sure I'll continue to read that and not do it.
>>
>>161159208
Stick to frigates, I'd suggest a Merlin or Executioner but that's completely up to you. Then just look up pvp fittings online, E-univ wiki always has some listed for any given ship.
>>
>>161158851
You gotta pick an income stream and focus you training on it. Choosing Faction Warfare will get you decent isk, allow your training to fall perfectly in line with a desire to pvp and make you hated by npcs in half of highsec.
Mission running or null space plexing also helps if you want a pvp pilot but it forces you to push ahead too fast to get into larger hulls without building a firm base of skills, unless you decide on pve as a t3 pilot. It's also mind achingly dull unless you have a group to do it with while chatting on coms. You can graduate to incursions and more isk from this.
Mining is also mind numbingly boring, but at least it's dependable isk.
Exploration only in Nullsec and Wormholes works out to being decent isk but the isk stream isn't as reliable as mining or grinding missions. It has the advantage of moments where your heart rate increases because you'll be doing your thing in dangerous space in ships not meant to fight with all of your day's haul on the line. Look up guides on surviving in low, null and w-space before attempting. Also basing out of an npc nullspace region is an option if you don't want to join a 0.0 alliance.
Hauling is another option. You can take contracts from players, do npc corp distro missions for LP or get jobs from or with whomever is a reliable space truck corp. Red Frog used to be, I don't know if their reputation still deserves to be good now.
That's not all your choices but that's the main one.

Minmatar cruisers are ass in a big fleet compared to the other options pilots can bring but I'll still roam all day in a stabber solo or in a small gang. I don't know about their t2 cruisers at this state of the game. personally, the large Matari ship i'd train for is the Tempest strictly for Clear Skies.
>>
>>161158851
>a good cheap ship I won't QQ about when it gets blown the fuck up

that depends on your stack of dosh:

Your rifter should be fine unless the entire game has turned upside down. Go to http://failheap-challenge.com/forumdisplay.php?37-EVE-Online
for your ship fitting and piloting discussions first. Lurk a lot first and look up for yourself what people talk about that you don't understand if you're thin skinned. Ask them only if you cna't find it elsewhere.

I recommend FW as best and most fun, just start with intentionally cheap fits until you have cashflow coming in from LP. Even if you can t2 all your modules and build 13 million frigates, don't until you can afford it.

Did you use a hull without bonuses for either? Anyway, laser is locked to em+the. AC can pick the right ammo.
>>
>>161166919
that's unbonused on both. and yes we all know the pros and cons of both, but the massive difference in range and complete lack of a dps advantage for short range guns dwarfs the little advantage you get by shooting the right damage type or having higher tracking or whatever

but the "right ammo" only comes out do increasing your DPS assuming he doesn't have a flat resist profile. If he does have a flat resist profile because he plugged his hole your "extra DPS" becomes null

Maybe because you can negate lasers with a neut, but AC keeps on firing.
>>
>>161168312
they usually don't actually outdamage them, it's usually just basically as much or only slightly less. it's especially retarded on medium guns, the medium long range guns got the most bullshit gay dps buff you've ever seen, now everyone puts medium rails/beams/arties on everything

>>161168408
stop it. 1 neut does nothing to anyone

>>161168462

It does to laser boats. They specifically have to fit an injector just to keep their guns firing.

no, your poor understanding of lasers doesn't make autocannons less bad. a tormentor for example does not need a cap booster, and on bigger ships you need a cap booster anyway just like hybrid ships

>>
>>161174371
are you retarded, weapons have tracking befitting their range. an autocannon at 1km has similar or worse tracking than a beam laser at 8km
>>
>>161174591

ok bubba got an experiment for you. Put any a Moa fully damage mods in lows (so you can see it better)

put the bigger blaster guns and bigger rail guns at comparison, see they have the same nominal dps.
But one throw range and the other tracking out of the window.

Now you can say projectiles are worse off than lasers, and i'll agree but don't try to compare short range spec from one with long range from the other.
>>
>>161175072
you're a fucking retard. the point here is that long range guns do far too much dps. yes, blasters do the hgihest dps and have the worst range and rails are the opposite so rails don't end up outdamaging blasters. it doesn't mean shit isn't broken, or that blasters are good

Not him but pulse lasers were always lack luster on the small size

The balance between smal medium and large lasers doesn't make sense

Small pulses do way less damage than small beams. The galling pulses don't match dual light beams at all in comparison

Medium heavy beams are amazing, but focused medium beams are absolutely shit and the quad light beams out dps the focused beams. The heavy pulses are good but the smaller pulse lasers are trash.

Large is almost the entire opposite Mega pulses do my damage and tachyon beams are unusable for the most part but still do less damage. No one uses the smaller size large lasers because they're useless

Since then I've been able to easily PLEX every month with minimal effort through PI and updating my market orders a few times a day. So far I've spent $0 on Eve.

low tier long range guns have always been very trash compared to high tier. with short range guns, the range difference between tiers is usually no big deal, so you lose a little dps and gain some fitting. but on long range guns the range differences become quite pronounced, especially on fits where you're investing slots for range mods. also on beams and arties you care about alpha, and that goes down the toilet as well

long range guns are in a weird place. I can't remember, but a 250mm railgun might do more dps than a dual 250mm railgun, and be very close to a 425mm railgun. less range, more tracking, etc., but still it is ridiculous. shit like mega pulses and 800 autos seem far less appealling too now that t2/t3/pirate cruisers, and I guess battlecruisers have had this gigantic projection buff

>bubba (obviously) can't :.(
>yes, he's indeed retarded

what I'm saying is that not all fights run down with warp at 50 and slugfest. Yes, you can use better tracking to your own advantage.

How?

see that line 'under gun'? The formula is 1000/tracking.
It means that for a target going 1000 m/s (for EACH 1k m/s the target goes), that is the distance (times how many thousands m/s) you have to keep from it to not get fucked over.
(actually that's a simplification)

now since you asked
>200mm autocannon
>small beam laser
here's the small guns sheet

notice it?
>11.111
vs
>3.175
all you have to do is to get within 11 Km which and have a 1000 transversal.

it's even in the new tutorial
>approach
>then orbit
>then cycle your guns

if you are not built to catch up a kiting faggot, as your sperging suggest, bubba should remember that bubba can disengage from a long point, you oliterally just double-click in the opposite direction the enemy is on

You should grab your old trial character, since it has got more training.

"Free to Try", not "Free to Play". It's an indefinite trial, they still want you to subscribe/PLEX.
>There were much more even on trial accounts.
Yeah, this is a nerf to trial accounts.
But it puts less pressure on new players, so it's "better" as a trial.
Also, this change crimps down on bot miners pretty hard.

>i think ill be an explorer when im playing actively
That's what most trial players are doing, since the pay is good.

ayy. so... whoever was using bots (or whatever) needs a PLEX a month anyways.
they would give a PLEX to a bot-alt, get a free PLEX, give a PLEX to a bot-alt...
and once they had done that for all their bots, they use the last PLEX for themselves.

Again, no. Decent place for bulk purchases,
but you can live out of pretty much any station.

You should join a corp sooner rather than later. That'll have a lot to do with where you're located. It's not an accident that finding a corp is among the most frequent advice for newer players.
Sometimes you'll take long trips, that's just how it is. It doesn't mean you have to always travel, it just means you may not want to pick hauling for a career.

>>161193552
The lower the security, the greater the rewards. THis applies even withing one sec area, so .5 gives bigger rat bounties than .7 and may have better or more asteroids than 1.0. I don't know mining though.

Don't stay near areas new players spawn at. New player areas are always all used up.
Not sure if that is or isn't one (and I can't be assed to check). It sounds like it is.

When picking where to live, it's important to think about risk and reward.

I hate it when people who have played the game for 5 minutes try to give advice. Who the fuck calls it Hi-sec?

I have literally never been killed in high sec while in an NPC corp. Only freighters ever die. It's way safer than sov null, maaaybe unless you're a russian botter in deep drones or something.

High sec wars are fine. They only continue because it's impossible to get newbs to use neutral alts to go to market hubs and contract shit, get corpies to scout for their mission running ships, or watch local and use d-scan.
I have missioned through a lot of highsec wars and never lost anything, though I was lucky at first that my ignorance of 'show corp mates in space' on the map didn't fuck me.
>>
I was blitzing through the SoE arc on my alt for standings and I drunkenly clicked the wrong faction. Is there any fucking way I can fix this? I haven't done the mission yet.
>>
>>161196125
Open a support ticket. Pray. Or roll a new alt.
>>
I'm at the end of the SoE arc, what ship should I take into fight Dagan?

I have a Mammoth and a Thrasher. The only Cruiser type ships I can use are Minmatar at the moment.
>>
>>161197571
Orbit him with thrasher. buy faction ammo
>>
I don't have a corp anymore. I don't want to join any napfests and if i went WH's I'd just spend all my time roaming. Are there any groups of Blops, SBs, Recons and the like that just move out to places and hunt in a nomadic lifestyle rather than living in a place and bearing in between taking fights that come by?
>>
>>161197941
groups generally don't live very nomadically because people want to be able to log in when they feel like it, and being left behind is bad for everyone
>>
>>161198056
I mean move into a place and live for a few weeks, bothering the locals rather than constantly moving. If you miss moving day you'd be in a stealthed ship anyways.
>>
Retrying the game, somewhat new.

Playing amarr enlisted in the FW. Can navy versions still enter novices? Do I stand ANY chance at all or just run everytime I see one?
>>
>>161198303
yeah I doubt many people do this, it's a pain in the ass. nobody wants to move lots of ships around a lot, or live out of a carrier, or only fly 1 ship
if you want to visit lots of places and fuck with people you can just use wormholes
>>
Can I get away with not training med/large artie, rail or beam specs if I don't particularly want to blob fest? I liked kiting cruisers like stabbers or Nomens, does that solo style work best with long range guns now?
>>
>>161198983
long range guns don't have any better tracking. the reason muh scorch was so appealling is it's short range gun tracking but at long range, so it tracks very good. an omen navy issue with beams for example might do slightly more dps at some ranges, but it's got like half or less tracking

basically for solo or small gang you want that high tracking so you aren't defenseless vs small stuff
>>
>>161199193
Okay that's what it was before. I have just read that beams were buffed and that fleet fights are artie/rails/beam shit and I didn't know if the buff was enough to change the nature of solo fits. Thanks.
>>
>>161198327
Run. I took my kiting Tristan into FW yesterday and was able to easily take on other t1 frigs but when I went up against a Vigil Fleet Issue I wasn't even able to break its tank.
>>
>>161197726
So I have 200mm Auto Cannon 1's and this didn't even dent him.

What the hell do I put on my ship?
>>
>>161199683
I was able to beat him on a few day old character using a Catalyst fit with 8 blasters and standard antimatter S. Maybe try upgrading to meta turrets and make sure you're using the highest dps ammo you can get.
>>
>>161199683
Get meta 3 guns. They'll be better than your current and not pricy as fuck like the meta 4s. I always killed him in rifters and always had to wind up buying faction ammo to do it, couldn't hurt buying some faction stuff. I can't remember his resists.
>>
>>161199683
I remember having trouble beating him when I first started out, from what I remember you need like ~100 to out-damage his reps
>>
>>161200252
~100dps*
>>
When you do missions with an alt in fleet, do you split the standing gain or do both get the full amount?

Would a Harbinger with a passive shield tank work for L3's?

It was a thing that happened back in the day. You have the lows you need for the regen mods.
>>
>>161199879
I just upgraded all guns. Ammo is best I can buy.

Still not making a dent.

What the fuck is this shit? My DPS is like 109 no matter what I do.
>>
>>161200961
lowslot regen mods gut your cap. why not just fit an armor rep
>>
>>161201162
Because armor rep doesn't make sense on a passive shield ship, anon.
>>
>>161201157
Clarify not making a dent Most people hurt him but can't beat his rep cycle. Get at your optimal and orbit so he can't hit ya.
>>
>>161201218
stop b8ing me m8

>>161201157
ammo should be emp, phased plasma or fusion
you should have 7 guns
and ideally you'll have some gyrostabs
and make sure you're applying your damage, I don't know what this rat is but if it's a frigate try keeping at range 1km, if it's a cruiser orbit 500 I don't know shit about pve or the thing you're doing btw
>>
>>161201330
I have all of this, and his reps are to much, he's full health all the time.

>>161201302
I make a dent and then it's gone.
>>
>>161201330
Dagan is in a I can't even remember but it's either a cruiser or BC at the end of the SoE epic arc. He has a strong rep cycle and it's tough for week old pilots.
>>
>>161201402
109 dps should be enough to beat his reps. Are you sure you're applying your full damage? You should be orbitting him at 500m. If you are and you still can't beat him maybe take a look at your skills. What are you minmatar destroyer and gunnery skills at? If any of them are low enough that you can quickly train them another level or two to get a dps boost try that. Things like Minmatar Destroyer, Small Projectile Turrets, Surgical Strike, etc. should be at least level 2 or 3, preferably 4 when you have the time. Oh, and if Minmatar alpha clones have the rockets skill try slapping a rocket launcher on. That'll give you a bit extra oomph.
>>
>>161201157
you need 120+ dps to kill him
>>
>>161201402
I should say, it would help if I could see the DPS difference without having to buy the fucking turrets like in any other mmo with any other gear.

Is there a point to flying t2 logi frigs instead of cruisers if you have racial cruiser 4 or 5 and training the skill for them instead of just pushing for the logi cruisers?
>>
>>161201876
Tech II analyzers are pretty pointless desu
>>
>>161201858
We use external tools for that in eve.
EFT (Eve Fitting Tool) or PyFA (Python Fitting Assistant?) are the go-tos.
External tools are an integral part of eve, for better or worse.
>>
>>161201858
You can. Go into your fitting window and click the picture of your ship next to the capacitor listing on the right.

>>161201886
Depends on what you're doing and, frankly, luck. The best income for alphas will probably be gas harvesting or exploring data/relic sites in null/WHs, but that's very volatile.
>>
>>161201858
>show info
>look at stats

what's the problem

>>161201910
they're different, not better or worse. I'd not bother training t2 logi frigs unless you join a group that wants you to fly them. I don't see them very much. t1 cruiser skills are extremely good all the time, train those
>>
>>161201749
My Gunnery skills were pretty shit. Putting a bunch of them 4 hour ones on and putting Destoryer 3 after it so I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks!
>>
>>161201886
I dunno but you can haul damn near anything with an alpha clone you can in an omega. You're just doing it in a t1. You won't miss out on a lot of contracts because you max out at 40km3 , you'll be able to easily handle all distro storyline missions and you have ship options for going fast alignment and smaller hold or max 40k. Hauling is the one place you're not really disadvantaged.
>>
>>161201996
the new in-game fitting tool is good. only problems with it is I think it only simulates your current skills, and it can't work out how fighters work
>>
>>161201858
You can simulate everything through the fitting window now

>>161202107

Oh that's right, I had forgotten that. EFT has become such a habit.
>>
>>161202021
I asked because I'm a perfect cruiser pilot already. it's all about whether people have found a use for them to me. I'll go back for them after logi cruisers if the need arises.
>>
>>161202001
An alpha clone is going to have to go into low security space and mine and/or explore to make a decent isk per hour rate.

The only other thing that can compare, but is much safer, is regional trading. But to do this a player must have a knowledge base about the game and the economy to do this successfully.

I don't know enough about FW or incursions to make a isk/hr analysis.

Dont use Fusion s if you picked minmatar as an option, Dagan morphs its resists depending on which faction you picked.

I'm just back too but the current cancer diagnosis seems to be rapid lights.

>>161206901
The best ship is one people are willing to give you fights in. You can fly fotm faction frigate or best battlecruiser all day and you'll only get a fight if you can catch someone who'll wind up not being worth fighting or if they have a clear advantage they know about.

>>161207108
Not him, but I just tried fighting Dagan solo in my Caracal and failed to do enough damage to get past his reps. Tried both Caldari Navy Scourge / Inferno at around 140dps.
>>
>>161207808
Team up. You have to do it twice, even if you picked the same faction. Two players do it easy.

Drone III to Drone V for Minmatar and Caldari

You will need to add
Drone Avionics I for Minmatar and Caldari (this isn't mentioned in the link but it's true in-game)
Infomorph Psychology I

Was in highsec today (.7 sec) and wanted to engage an NPC mining group because I was bored, I had a Barghest with torps that I was thinking about using to aggress the hauler, had an Orca on grid helping with drones and shield reps (one mod) and a T2 logi pushing shields and CAP, would I have survived when the NPCs batphoned or would have I been out several billion ISK in ships.?
