Quantum Rise on Tuesday - Mandatory "Set Long Skills" post

[Endie]

As is traditional, this is your reminder to set long skills training, because CCP patches are not universally successful nor invariably smooth.

Now, a lot of retards on this very board thought that the patch happens at the usual downtime of midday.  This is not the case: you will not be able to log in.  The patch starts at 0200 or so Eve time.  And last time they started early.

As is by now traditional, this thread shall now devolve into epeen waving about what skills we are training during this period:

- Remote Armor Repair Systems V (for capital remote armor reppers and better repping of pos modules in the weeks of fighting in ZS- that lie ahead)
- Logistics IV (I refer the right honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some minutes previously)
- Caldari Carrier IV (two carriers in a system = 24 fighters to assign, so ask Samson about how to make your LVBee characters)
- Armored Warfare Specialist IV (because which of you don't want 20% bonuses to all resists in the gang?)

Jump Drive Calibration V
Metallurgy V
Medium Hybrid Turret V

Thanks Endie, I was training Gallente BS III which would end right in the middle of this downtime.

Switched to Sharpshooter V.  They now have a week to get the game unfucked.  Hopefully that's enough.

Jump Drive Calibration V

Heyheyhey, someone is getting close to going a very long way in capitals.  Have you seen the stuff on the GF forums about making money as a JF pilot?

[Pax]

I'm an odd 1 day away from finishing Sharpshooter V, which is going to get way too damn close for my liking.

Battlecruiser V, ahoy!

[Gets]

I endorse this campaign.

Cybernetics V
Hull Upgrades V
Weapon Upgrades V

[IainC]

Sentry Drones V.

20 days should be long enough.

[Endie]

Battlecruiser V, ahoy!

In our new, slowed-down world, I cannot help but think that this will be a wise investment.

[TripleDES]

Not sure what skill. I'm still patching WINE to make EVE fucking log in. That, plus figuring out why it refuses to run at any resolution than my desktop one.

[Thrawn]

Heyheyhey, someone is getting close to going a very long way in capitals.  Have you seen the stuff on the GF forums about making money as a JF pilot?

11.25 LY trips with 360,000m3 should make for some very nice logistics.  77s to AZN in 3 jumps, or to ZS- in 2.  0-o to ZS- in 2, ZS- to low-sec/empire border in 4 etc...

But no, I haven't looked too in depth at anything for info on JF piloting or moon mining yet.  (I'm also not finding much JF info on GF forums now that I'm looking unless I'm searching for the wrong thing?) I'm still a long ways from the isk to buy one so I figured not much point yet.  I actually owe someone a bunch of isk out of my next batch since I borrowed some I was short to get the pilot character right away so I could get a head start on JDC V. 

[xorx]

Advanced Weapon Upgrades V
Advanced Spaceship Command IV (Though I'm not sure about that as it's under a week I think (don't have evemon at work) ....)

[Jayce]

I don't have either of those problems with real Windows.

Well, at least I might get a chance to jump that megacyte and zydrine out for you if the fighting in ZS- eases for a day.

[Sparky]

Doris - Jump Drive Op V (jump frieghter alt in the making)
Berious - Large energy turret V (got to chase that fotm hells yeah)

[Comstar]

Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV. Should probably have done Cloak V, Covert Ops V or Interceptor V instead.

[TheWall]

Small Projectile Weapons V

Why, because I want to fly all T1 frigs with T2 weapons, that's why!

Maybe I'll slap a turret, machine gun, hybrid, and a missle on a rifter and see who laughs last. 

[TripleDES]

I don't have either of those problems with real Windows.   

It's Vivox being gay 

Am in real Windows now, too. Jump Drive Ops V Go!

[Phildo]

Large hybrid V
Weapon Upgrades V

[Morat20]

Well, I was doing Covops IV, but that'll run out tomorrow. Perhaps Advanced Weapons Upgrades V, or Medium Hybrid V (not sure if I have that one), or Battleship V or Battlecruiser V.....

[Nerf]

Large Railgun Specialization 4 for me, also, epeen++

[TripleDES]

Third of my skillpoints (24M) are in Spaceship Command. Anti-specialization FTW!

[Thrawn]

Well, at least I might get a chance to jump that megacyte and zydrine out for you if the fighting in ZS- eases for a day.

I bet it will ease for a day.  I bet their will barely be a shot fired for around 24 hours starting at oh...I dunno....0200 EVE time? 

[TheWall]

Large Railgun Specialization 4 for me, also, epeen++

Glass cannon much?  

[Nerf]

I wish I could be more of a glass cannon, I'd gladly fly a battleship with a cruiser tank if I could crank out at least double the damage I do now.

[eldaec]

Propulsion Jamming V, checking in.

[Slayerik]

Gallente Titan V

[Phildo]

Gallente Titan V

Can we borrow you to give out gang bonuses for a few weeks?   

[Predator Irl]

Astrogeology V (finishing in 3 days)
Navigation V

[Nerf]

So apparently the game decided to fuck itself a few hours early, and I was waiting a little while to switch skills.

At least I'll have long range targeting 4 when it comes up..and only at least 20 hours wasted!

[Simond]

Acceleration Control V, under the theory of "Every little helps after the nerf".

[KallDrexx]

Can someone explain to this newbie what the time diff is between EST and eve?

[eldaec]

5 hours. Eve runs GMT. The difference is always whatever your timezone is.

[KallDrexx]

5 hours. Eve runs GMT. The difference is always whatever your timezone is.

Thanks :)

[WayAbvPar]

Navigation 5. I saw something that needed it for a prereq (black ops or something), so I figured what the hell.

[Viin]

Cruise Missiles V, hurray.
Caldari Freighter V on the alt.
