I've continued playing this again.. Anyone else out there, mining, leading corporation or just being an utter pirate?

I use to play but no more unfortunately good game liked to hear stories of corporate destruction.

Heh, I recently got Caldari Raven-class battleship.. although, I like Minmatars more. On Rust I Trust..

As someone who has one character for each of the (playable) empires I think I can safely say the order of Aesthetics is Amarr (GOLD!), Minmatar (SCRAP!), then Caldari (ASYMETRICAL!) and Gallente (Fat) in joint 3rd.

I love my Apocalypse! PEWPEW!

*opens a can pf wprms* Shield or armor tank?

majormagna · « **Reply #5 on:** July 29, 2011, 11:10:50 AM »

Both have their advantages, shield boosters provide instant relief, armour reps take a full cycle before they do anything. HOWEVER, this doesn't take into account passive, buffer or regen tanks.

For PvP, armour buffer tanking is prefferred, for PvE, you play with your skills, ship bonuses and resistances. For a ships BASE resists, you want Shield for Kinetic and Explosive, Armour for EM and Thermal; though I've managed to omni-tank a large group of Rogue Drones before now.

With shield tanking, you also know EXACTLY when to get out, when your shields hit 30%, but that's also a hint as to when to activate your armour reps too.

Indeed.

Now, what about those pesky jammers and webbers?

Pre-Incarna: DAMN GURISTAS! LET ME LOCK YOU!

Post-Incarna: Dayum Guristas, U WEAK!

I remember a mission, where I warped in and got stuck between an acceleration gate and an asteroid, was webbed, scrambled, outnumbered and only JUST powerful enough to not be outgunned.

I went to 40% hull before I pewpewed enough of them for my armour reppers to catch up to the DPS. WAS HELL. This was in an Apocalypse too.

I think that is the mission where my shield tanked Drake went pop

Now I have cruise launchers on Raven, working towards T2 skills for the Maelstrom..

Lionus · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2011, 12:33:10 PM »

The Maelstrom is mine!

majormagna · « **Reply #11 on:** August 18, 2011, 04:59:11 PM »

Nice, I remember when I got my first Battleship, then I started obsessing over getting a Marauder (Paladin). Still not there.

Lionus · « **Reply #12 on:** August 19, 2011, 11:15:29 AM »

I hate you all! I have desperately wanted EVE for SO long but lack the net connection or the $$$ to get it! D':

Lionus · « **Reply #14 on:** August 19, 2011, 02:34:32 PM »

you could try the trials and 5 day special offers.. o.O

Lionus · « **Reply #15 on:** August 25, 2011, 03:15:43 AM »

In the immortal words of Admiral Akbar: "IT'S A TRAP!"

moment later, after fetching a mission item from a warehouse that can be seen ahead, a group of pirate battleships, cruisers and frigates/fighters jump in.. and promptly get grinded to space dust.

Sadly they won't let you continue a character already in existence, which Aeries has (at least) one.

Lionus · « **Reply #17 on:** August 27, 2011, 12:56:23 AM »

Shame, that. I love making millions in my Minmatar ships.

majormagna · « **Reply #18 on:** September 19, 2011, 02:27:15 PM »

Well CCP are bringing back Ship Spinning!

You will have the ability to 'board' or 'leave' your ship, and the system will remember what state you were in just prior to your last undock, and when you dock (anywhere) it will put you in that state automagically.

tl;dr: CCP are making Captains Quarters work the way everyone thought they would to begin with.

Lionus · « **Reply #19 on:** September 20, 2011, 06:18:10 PM »

So, that's the reason for the longer than usual downtime tomorrow?
