Biggest battle in online gaming history yesterday

Fuck me that's some carnage in EVE.

The amount of stuff destroyed would trade in-game for something like 18000 30-day game time codes. One individual took over 2% of that loss in one ship.

Dominixes and Ishtars are the strongest subcap ships (at least of the ones you can afford to lose in big fleet engagements) at the moment so there are some big fleets of the upside-down shoes.

I imagine the rage for lag & bugs (about the sovereignity payment) must be really huge.

And I can fly both, I think....
I remember going on a spidertanked domi roam with a couple of corpies looking for war targets. Scared the living shit out of one guy we found on gate in a T3 cruise.  Grin

It went up 40% then fell back to 15% above the old price.

280b units of trit in the popped titan hulls, but there were recently changes that added a lot of trit to nullsec (to ores people were already mining). And there's 20b units of trit traded a day in Jita alone.

Shouldn't be long till the economy is back to mostly normal.

I was not well positioned to take advantage. I'm working on some skills so I haven't been in game as much.

I thought this was a cool monument:

You directly control a single ship, but the leaders order the grunts where to focus fire.

If you are buying trit and not T1 BS weapons you're doing it wrong.

Easier to ship to nullsec? I remember something about building stuff in high, shipping it to null in bulk, and then breaking it back down being a better way than nullsec mining.

Mineral compression, the raw minerals needed to build 425mm Rails or 1400mm Howies take up ~8x (iirc) the space a build gun needs, can be reprocessed without loss back into minerals if you're skilled that way and when I played it was even cheaper than the raw minerals when you did the buy order war in Jita. But I stopped (or rather was stopped Wink ) playing back in 2008.

Good times back then, was one of the very first Titan pilots too (<5 Titans ingame total).

Yeah, that's it. Brings back memories, I miss flying my cloaky round the arse end of nowhere trying to work out which wormhole to take to get back to nullsec Smiley

oh and lol@Domi's being best BS atm, my personal favorite was always a Blastathron but then again thats not really fleet capable, for fleets I prefered a Tempest with 1400s

1400mm thats about the size of a VW bug... and knowing Minmatar thats prolly what they're firing too!
In rust we trust.

They removed the drops of meta 0 items that reprocessed really well. Now every 425mm railgun I in the game was deliberately produced, so they are usually a bit above mineral price.

interesting, but if you want to move huge amounts of minerals around it's probably still worth it vs the time to produce yourself

This thread has made me decide that if I ever decide I don't need to leave the house anymore playing EVE hardcore would be a good choice O.o

Not to say that everyone who plays EVE has no life, just to say it is probably one of the last truly complex MMOs........and you could easily lose yourself in its depths.

I got lost in the game when I first started (before they had crafting tiers) for a couple months. I realized just how bad that game was going to be for me and I got out quick. I could easily see myself playing until I fall asleep at the computer, silencing my cell phone and ignoring work calls.  I loved it, way back then.

My favorite thing was to incite fights and mine an asteroid while people duked it out. Then scavenge what was left over from the battles. Once I had enough resources, I just killed all the miners that were easy pickings and took their stuff. Making ships was better back then, you didn't have to reach a crafting tier to make cool stuff. You just had to figure it out - or buy someone elses blueprints.
