What I am currently learning - October

[Dark0ne]

Skill plan for Dark Sensei

 

1. Heavy Assault Missiles V (7 days, 13 hours, 3 minutes, 42 seconds)

2. Heavy Assault Missile Specialization I (31 minutes, 7 seconds)

3. Heavy Assault Missile Specialization II (2 hours, 25 minutes)

4. Heavy Assault Missile Specialization III (13 hours, 40 minutes, 7 seconds)

5. Heavy Assault Missile Specialization IV (3 days, 5 hours, 19 minutes, 28 seconds)

6. Heavy Assault Ships V (22 days, 11 hours, 40 minutes, 47 seconds)

 

I decided 500 DPS on my Cerberus would be too good to pass up for when I make my way back to 0.0 again. A bit of Carebear missile training before I go back to finishing off perfecting my Caldari Battleship skills (that will tide me over till January!).

 

 

Skill plan for Mytee Rich

 

1. Jump Drive Operation IV (9 hours, 40 minutes, 20 seconds)

2. Jump Drive Operation V (19 days, 6 hours, 46 minutes, 8 seconds)

3. Jump Drive Calibration I (59 minutes, 17 seconds)

4. Jump Drive Calibration II (4 hours, 36 minutes, 6 seconds)

5. Jump Drive Calibration III (1 day, 2 hours, 1 minute, 50 seconds)

6. Jump Drive Calibration IV (6 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes, 9 seconds)

 

 

Jump Freighters! Weee.....

Well... my skill training plan has been shelved, and I need to think of something new to train for.

 

I finished Advanced Weapons Upgrades 5 a couple of days ago - as the last prerequisite before starting to train cap ship skills as my alliance is always looking for more dread pilots.

 

However, I don't envisage being in my alliance for long enough to finish dread training, and I don't really have any interest in cap ships...

 

As I was given a stiletto as a present I'm currently training Minmatar Frigate 5, so I can actually fly it ^^

 

And after that... well, after spending the last year on skills that made me a more useful alliance/fleet member (mostly battleship skills, starbase defence etc) I think I'll finally train battlecruisers to 5 and get myself an absolution to play with :)

[Dark0ne]

You're in the NC aren't you? Things not looking too good for you at the moment :( What's the situation up there?

 

Cap ships are something I'm really not interested in (minus the obvious logistical advantages it can give both you and your corp/alliance, hence the JF alt!). The POS Warfare dynamics are utterly unexciting and I'd hate to be cottoned into doing a crap load of it in an expensive ship that I could lose at the whim of the server, rather than the whim of my stupidity.

[ThetaOrionis01]

Things are not looking too bad for the NC atm, despite some setbacks.

 

The most demoralising thing for me, and for I think most of us, was that BoB & co seemed to benefit greatly from the serial nodecrashes we had during the fights for M-O.

 

During the first big fight, we were set up on the Taisy gate and killing primary after primary and had the advantage - both in numbers, in fully loaded grids, and in position.

 

Then the node crashed repeatedly.

 

BoB seemed to be able to get more people loaded in M-O than we did, and with e-warps and the server relocating people to random spots in the system our advantage was gone.

 

But that was nothing compared to the fight 2 days later...

 

 

We had support from Kia, Daisho, TCF and possibly others. M-O local topped out at around 1100 - yep, that's 1100 combat pilots in one system - and of course the server had a heart attack.

 

 

After that node crash I sat for 3 hours staring at the 'entering game' screen. On TS, at first everyone was positive because we had the numbers to win this fight, and just needed to get back into the game. But then it got quiet... judging by TS we had about 4 people who were in game and had loaded the grid.

 

But most of us just couldn't log back in and were stuck on 'entering game'. And getting killed while still stuck.

 

We lost pretty much an entire lagged-out cap fleet that night, in a fight we should have won. We lost a system that we should have retaken that night.

 

And we lost it all to a hardware failure that we could do nothing about. :(

[Dark0ne]

Yup, your story merely compounds my lack of desire for POS warfare, or major alliance warfare in Eve. The more I look at it the more I think PL have the right idea. They steam rolled BRUCE and gained Fountain for themselves, and now just use Fountain as a staging area for whatever offensive they wish to partake in. Once BoB come and take Fountain back they'll have fun doing their hit-and-run tactics then simply move on to the next failure alliance, take their space and get on with doing what they enjoy doing, 50-odd HAC fights.

Skill plan for Samroski

 

1. Cybernetics IV

2. Electronics Upgrades V

3. Cloaking IV

4. Analytical Mind V

5. Instant Recall V

6. Iron Will V

7. Spatial Awareness V

 

My plan is not what I had expected.

 

I was thinking of getting +5 implants in a couple of months - and then working on the learning skills. But I got podded yesterday. This made me start cybernetics IV immediately- so I can get the +4 implants. Also +4s are so much more affordable than the +5s- and I can get them straight away. Another day of so of training left- and I have set up some 3 day market orders to see if can get these +4 implants cheap- otherwise will just buy them.

 

Also I figure that might as well get all my rank 1 learning skills to V before I start on training other stuff. Will probably get the rank 3 learning skills to V after I plug in +5s (probably after a few months- or sooner if I'm podded again).

 

It is not encouraging to read about the node crashes...

 

Edit: Maybe Quantum Rise will solve the problem?

[ThetaOrionis01]

The more I look at it the more I think PL have the right idea.

 

 

You do seem to have a secret crush on xxangelxx, looking at some of your CAOD posts :biggrin:

 

As for me, Minmatar frigate 5 is finished. Spent a few minutes acquiring the hacking skill, and now it's back to battlecruisers 5 - which, being a rank 6 skill, will easily take up the rest of the month and then some :(

 

 

Plus, to paraphrase the exorcist, the power of 2 compelled me, so now I have a second training plan to work out ^^

Goals for Kharis will be science 5 to work for R&D agents, industry 5, transport ships.

 

Have been concentrating on learning skills so far - apart from the charisma ones, all basic learning skills are at 4, and by tomorrow the advanced ones should all be at 3.

[Dark0ne]

Bah don't train your alt...buy it! ;D

 

I got my alt with all learning skills to V and most of the core skills to V (electronics, engineering, spaceship command). Just saved the PITA of doing the run-of-the-mill skills all over again!

 

And as for Angel....back when I was in BRUCE in Fountain I might have smacked her a bit in local (something about going to the kitchen and making me dinner :X) and in every fight after that I was primary. Might not have helped that I was always flying in my Scorp and always focused her as well :D

 

I think it's love, Theta... ;)

 

PS. that thread titled "IRUN" on CAOD made me LOL out loud.

It's a bit of an IRONic ( :whistling: ) thread title, since what I remember mostly about IRON isn't running, but the endless camping during the Deklein campaign.

 

A strategy even my cat could have predicted was bound to fail...

The forum you have tried to post to requires you be in a none NPC corporation with 10 or more members!

CONCORD has been notified

 

How the hell am I meant to derail the current PL moving to Venal thread into a why BRUCE fail thread if I can't even post. I demand my money back!
