    One thing that wasn’t mentioned that is critical to passive shield tanking is the regeneration gradient. Shield regeneration is lowest at 100%, and this is the value shown in the fitting screen. It maxes out at 30% shield, though I don’t know the formula. Tl;dr if your shield doesn’t stabilize by 30% you are not going to tank it.

    I've been playing eve since 2007 and I always thought it was pretty stupid that haulers and Freighters had no weapon slots. Maybe CCP should just give them all some high slots.

    It's for balance purposes. It makes freighters vulnerable, strongly incentivising teamwork.

    Well sure but I don't think giving them a couple of slots would unbalance things that much, maybe just give them a chance to get away from that solo tackler before his Fleet can arrive.

I also have to mention the things that support my business as, again, if they're not mentioned, my stats show that they don't happen (like hitting like etc, don't mention it and the video gets less engagement which means fewer views, less pay etc) This is my job, and I'm terribly sorry that you can't sit through three minutes to watch content that I put out for FREE

    The real problem isn't the lack of security, it's the people who exploit it. Airport analogy: airport security used to be light... no pat downs, you could bring your family in, etc. Then _one_ attack happened, and now the security is incredible. Where is the response from the federation to the increase in ganking attacks? The height of any security is relative to the threat. The attacks on high-sec is exploitative and it serves the purpose of stunting the growth of the economy. It benefits the CCP, and wealthy players at the expensive of hard working low-level players. The price of capital ships is not affected by people over-mining plagioclase. That kind of over-mining only lowers prices of daily goods, bought up by the little guy. Can't have that, says the wealthy ganker.

    I've been a miner industrialist for over 10 years, and I've seen people make more than I ever have in a number of days just by doing wormholes. Meanwhile, people are still telling me that leaving miners alone in high-sec will cause inflation and ruin the game. Just parrots parroting, and CCP artificially suppressing the economy so they don't have to actually develop content.

  • @captainbenzie
    @captainbenzieКүн бұрын

    Anecdotal evidence. The risk in wormholes is much greater so fewer folks actually DO that content compared to Hisec content. We know this, CCP have shared the figures. Make it 100% safe and you find more folks are drawn to it. Your argument here doesn't actually go against anything I've said. Yes, people make more in wormholes, but they also lose more.

    45 million-ish is the opening price for the Squall - I know that will settle down big-time but still looks like there will be a price point for my Badgers. 50 million makes for a sexier kill-mail even when empty and causes enough pain to encroaching newer PI players that they might set up shop somewhere but your neighborhood if they lose a few.

    I'm not even a PvP player (as in, I don't go out hunting but I do sometimes do Faction Warfare) and I know being killed can be frustrating (in different degrees depending on the scenario) but that's my point, it's a vital part of the game. Griefing too. Merchant vessels weren't exactly happy with pirates, but that's a part of the EVE experience.

    Ishtar can do many things. Low lvl WH alone, High lvl WH in fleet. Solo HIsec missions, Solo all Null anomalies. Even Solo or Duo escalations (depends on faction). The key is to minmax a fit and be careful about npcs that may turn against your drones (just use some civilian gun to hit someone from group of npcs to get aggro first on ship) For most of the fits no prop or ab 10 is enough, but some of them will require ab100 to kite and survive

First time in I didn’t find much besides NPC’s and more wormholes. My second WH I found a data site and got away with 24mil. I did one more before calling it a night and found a relic site with nearly 100mil ISK in loot. My heart was racing until I got over to Jita, it was the most exciting thing I’ve done in game in a long time. Thank you for all your guides and videos, I wouldn’t have had the guts to even try WH’s without you.
