 Frigate Club 25th of JanuaryOP OVER! HORRIBLE FC'ING! WAS FUN THOUGH!What? - Frigate Club is a year old, give or take. Also, we seem to have a lot of new faces both in-game and on the forums and some resubbing. To get the new year rolling and people more acquainted I've decided to FC (:gasp:) a small celebratory frigate op. Who? - If you are... ...an old beard 0.0 pilot who has forgotten where Jita is... ...an experienced low-sec camper with his face on a billboard... ...a mercenary out of work since CCP won't put in kill contracts... ...a veteran mission runner who browses the forum for something stimulating... ...a bitter Hulk miner wishing Zyd prices would go back up... ...a casual Badger miner still figuring out wth is ice mining... ...a rookie trying to figure out where to get Villard Wheels... ...a random guy pretending too hard to be the above rookie... ...someone who has never played EVE... ...someone who should still have an old account... ... you should come! No prior game experience, sanity, high school degree or socks required. This is purely frigates with different allegiances flying wherever and shooting whoever. The point is to introduce new F13-ners & friends into EVE pew pew, have some fun and if all goes well pull off a diplo-incident to make it even more memorable. At minimum you should watch the following videos for basic info: Fleet 101Fleet 102Overview 101Where? - The Empire form-up will be Lower Debyl in the Devoid region. This is going to be the tricky part. While generally our old guard is in 0.0 and everyone else along with newer players are near Empire we're going to have to plan a rendezvous if there's people on the other side of russian bumrape zone wanting to join. All the stations there have cloning, so be sure to set your medical clone if we have to start over after dieing quickly to a gatecamp in the next system or something. When? - Sunday, 25th of January, 22:00 EVE Time. It's mostly important that everyone who wants to come can make it. God, I'm going to be smacked for talking to my computer for the whole night. Ships?: Frigate class ships. These include T1 and T2. I'll try and bring some hulls down in an Itty V along with basic modules to make sure everyone has a ship and a decent fit it. Definitely insure them. Post here or PM me on what ship you plan on bringing to help me get a rough estimate. Comms?: F13 Ventrilo / url: v69.darkstarllc.com / p: 3891 / pw: batvent / WoW - Raid channel  Your Participation Is What Counts The Most!Also, pink rules. |

I will do my best to be there in an incursus or a maulus depending on your dps/terrible ewar needs.

(unless I get my hands on something better in-between - any suggestions on what would be best to aim for?).

Assuming you've just started as a Caldari pilot, the Kestrel packs a punch since it's a missile-only ship, but the Merlin supports two turret slots and an extra mid instead. So if you have more missile skills, get a Kestrel, if you're more into Gunnery, fly a Merlin. Alternatively you could train Electronic Warfare for ECM and fly a Griffin. ECM is the best form of EWAR at the moment, but hardly ah-mah-gawd-imba at low levels. The idea is to break a target's locking capability, and against large ships this is very effective. You'd have to learn about racial jammers and recognize which faction your target's ship belongs to. Or you could just use multispecs. I don't care, really. But if you start liking ECM for PvP, then a Kitsune (T2 ewar frig) is really pro on small gang ops like this. |

I'll be there if I'm not doing something terribly important otherwise.
Ummmmm, a Punisher? It's too sexy not to fly. Maybe a Vigil.
(I assume that because of the mixed crowd, we may end up shooting blues? Sweet.)

What kind of cake? It better be icecream.
I'd take an Incursus (I can fit T2 everything, woo). Or an EWAR ship if you guys need one.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I'll be there. I'll probably bring The Groundskeeper for those 5/5/5/5 bonuses, flying an Ishkur. But if Sir T or someone else is already coming with high leadership skills I might bring whatever is needed, either an inty or a Keres.
I'll also be careful to fit out a couple of remounts nearby for better suicide recovery.

Goddamn I'd resub my EVE account for this if it wasn't the night before I have surgery on my spine. Hope you all have awesome fun and just imagine I'm there in a Rifter, thanks  |

See if they can attach some pod-pilot connections to your spine while they're in there. |

I will try and make it, but may be traveling.
In the Kestrel "With Bells On"
BTW, if you are podded do you lose all cyber enhancements? And presumably we can't remove 'em? What do people do? Thx.

All implants are lost if you are podded, they can never be removed without being destroyed. If you need to save them you can jump clone into a different clone without implants, or with cheaper ones. |

No, they can only use the focus script. However, I don't think it's a good idea to take a bunch of fragile T1 cruisers into lowsec unless we can catch a gate camp in the act of ganking something and already aggressed.

Just to clarify: have we determined the type of cake to be had? This appears to be a rigorous endeavor... I would recommend something light, like angel food cake. We certainly don't want cramps!

For accuracy's sake, I'll be there in a terribly fit rifter instead of gallente. Currently relocating a few spares to Lower Debyl as we speak.
