It's finally been long enough that I can no longer maintain my anger at CCP to an appropriate level.   Thus I'm taking a 5 day reactivation and will probably resub.   Curious who all around here actually plays and what I should do with my newbish 20mil sp alts to start up a new fortune.   Unfortunately I probably only have a couple battleships and a couple hundred mil after I spent a lot of it on plexes last time.

Quite a few of us are still playing.  What's your in-game name?

Looks like I may have to grind some level 4's in my crappy Dom till I get enough to put myself in a Tengu.    Do you guys actually play together or just do whatever?

Edit:  Also anyone know what to buy with Caldari/Gallente Navy LP's?  I've a lot of Gal Navy LP's.

The right thing to do would be to come to 0.0 as fast as possible instead of grinding for a Tengu then losing it on the Torrinos gate in EC-.

I'm not saying the funny thing can't be also right though.

I sure as hell wouldn't take a Tengu there.   I thought 0.0 got nerfed to shit btw?   I missed the whole "anomaly" thing but it sounds like CCP seriously fucked up 0.0 for anyone not sucking valuable on Moon Goo?  I sure as hell don't want to do missions so I'd love having some 0.0 options.

I thought you were joking.   I'm not joining a corp here I simply asked F13's for some coming back advice.   It's amusing that EvE has made you this paranoid though.

No, 0.0 is still multiple times more profitable, but you do have to watch your ass just like before. Maybe even moreso in our instance now that we have a lot less blues. The anomaly nerf just limited the number of systems that have high-end anomalies, but they did add new exploration sites before that, including 7/10s which give previously missing deadspace gear.

He is joking. Although such paranoia does manifest itself, but it's hidden in places like Pandemic Legion's private directorate subforum.

Level 4s vary in profitability depending on your ship and skills but over 20M/hour is possible, 0.0 sanctums turn over around 25M/hour, it's perfectly possible to find 0.0 systems you can do this in uninterrupted by the theoretical owners.

Pubbie high sec incursion gangs can take you up to 50-70M per hour but you need a good PUG.

Beyond that you're in to low sec incursions or plexes (100M+/hr), for which you really need alliance organisation or alliance space. 0.0 only got nerfed in terms of the number of players each system can support, not the money making rate itself.



All of this remains a terrible experience for solo players.

If whoever has any kind of authority decides you are not a spy you'd be much better off moving to a 0.0 corp, simply so you have something to do with all the isk.

Nobody thinks I'm a spy now   why so serious?.

Hmm thinking back last I actually went to 0.0 was when I joined IAC during the war vs BOB.   They had exploration then but it sort of sucked.   Ratting in that area was sort of bleh.  Doing any of the good plexes was impossible.   It was fun to blow people up of course awesome, for real. The next time I played was when the wormholes came out so I did that instead.    Does anyone remember when they changed the exploration sites?   I really need to go back and read all the dev blogs I guess.

I think I found the dev blog:

http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=861

So they basically added back in all the old DED complexes as part of the sovereignty thing?   This part didn't get hit by the recent anomaly nerf?

With a T2 tengu and fighter support (carrier sitting near a POS outside it shields) you can make 60Misk/hour with Sanctums
Just make sure you check the true security level, closer to -1.0 the better/lucrative.

I sort of doubt I'll get into a corp that has access to that sort of space.  None of my gamer mates ever really play this game.  So my only choice of corps is basically the ones who will take on strangers.  Probably why I always end up quitting really.

You can get into a decent corp by joining one of those open-recruiting corps in 0.0 and shooting lots of stuff.  If you don't find that fun then no decent corp is really going to want you anyway so it's a kinda of a gatekeeper thing.

I've tried that several times before and the big problem is most of those corps are actually close to dead.   They won't tell you that though so filtering isn't so easy.  If you know some good ones though by all means toss some info.

From a cursory look at your history here, you'd probably pass the rigorous screening for Bat Country.  If you're interested, we can discuss it further.

Many usual suspects still play. The people with the right to push important buttons hasn't changed.

With Rift burning me out (I've got to level 47, but the guild I was in seems to have kicked me out for inactivity) and the collapse of the NC, Eve sounds..dramatic again.

However, I keep reading every battle report as "and then 100 supercapital's landed so we ran away". Is that really the state of play or is there non-supercap battles going on anywhere?
