Replace the stabs with Nanofibers or inertia stabilizers for faster align. If you warp out faster than they can scan your ship, they don't know what you have, only see a lowbie frig and ignore it.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-83119670009558328372013-03-29T13:42:28.912+01:002013-03-29T13:42:28.912+01:00Don't know if this is OT but since I'm a r...Don't know if this is OT but since I'm a real newbie - 3 weeks old - I'll risk making a rookie mistake.<br /><br />I'm looking to make 50-100 million ISK/hour to finance both my play time and future ship needs. I see via Eve-Central that there are suggested trades that make 15+ million/trip for a 145 m^3 Atron.<br /><br />Therefore I have fitted an Atron with 3 Warp Core Stabilizer I's and 3 Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I's. This ship makes the Dodixie/Jita run in under 14 minutes.<br /><br />I bought 2 PLEX to finance this endeavor and have 2 alts stationed in Dodixie and Jita to check real time prices.<br /><br />Is this plausible or am I making a crazy rookie mistake?Roy Lofquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536815900678298041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-27183674815690393662013-03-26T15:48:08.129+01:002013-03-26T15:48:08.129+01:00Don't agree with you that Eve is noob friendly...Don't agree with you that Eve is noob friendly.<br />Most people don't get the hang of things as easily as you do.<br />But i agree with you that noobs shouldn't be protected. Many people start to play Eve because they heard somewhere how ruthless the game is. It's what draws people to Eve.<br />When you get your ship ganked and podded in the first week and greeted in local with "welcome to Eve" you are either like me and appreciate the challenge that is ahead or you or you start start whining and quit Eve eventualy.<br />Nobody wants the whiners except other whiners. It's a good mechanism to filter out the people who would ruin what Eve is in the long run.<br />Thing is even if there are parts in Eve that are not "fair" people have access to all the ressources on the internet to inform themself about what is going, how they can protect themself or what other professions to look into to make their start in Eve easier for them. We want this sort of players who educate themself about the game and appreciate a challenge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-74196785332008680032013-03-26T10:30:18.101+01:002013-03-26T10:30:18.101+01:00Firstly, just because Ripard does not advocate for...Firstly, just because Ripard does not advocate for a world where new players (or farmer alts, or however many other collectives you wish to slot them under without evidence) are not subjected to a game mechanic for which they have no means of recourse does not mean that he is a supporter of carebears. I think you will find the original comment is trying to point this out to you. There is such a thing as a middle ground. I'll note that "docking up" or "paying 10m" or "fitting a tank which will not do anything" are not means of resource. These are not desirable forms of game play and are a sign that there is a fundamental imbalance in highsec. No, not the imbalance you think there is. There is STILL an imbalance in favor of the gankers - and this will continue until the miners can do something in retaliation which will hurt the gankers. This is how the game is balanced in every other respect.<br /><br />Secondly, your comment on the fact that you made a fortune in the first month is a non sequitur. Just because you achieved something, it does not follow that all will achieve it. You completely gloss over this fact time and time again.<br /><br /><br />Ripard for CSM<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-3860201003726799142013-03-26T08:25:55.265+01:002013-03-26T08:25:55.265+01:00After highsec nerf, most nullsec "oh so l33t ...After highsec nerf, most nullsec "oh so l33t pewpewers", Jester including, will be forced to "goodfighting" in noobships with civilian blasters.
