switch NC for Atlas, Tri for NC and PB for Geminate and you get the situation here atm.

Yeah but we currently own geminate, don't we?

unless you take seriously the coad trolls about wi pulling out... yeah, no. we like owning every tech-rich region in the game thanks.

ps. is the node dying every time a moderately large collection of ships comes somewhere near each other? it's getting ridiculous up here, we haven't had a single proper fight in days because of server instability. everyone - nc, tri etc - is starting to really lose patience now.

yes, any time there is more than 600 in system the node takes a shit on us too.

almost killed a WI titan tonight which was evaccing to Akora, when the last missiles hit after it got inside shield it had a total of 20% structure left according to our sources in WI.

this is the frame before I lost lock

You guys really need to fill out that large fleet fight form.

hey, i saw this ss on scrapheap - was that you?

@blade: reinforcing the node does jackshit now. 500 seems to be the limit where it throws up its hands and cries in a corner.

it's led to a situation where we have only two choices if a major event is upcoming:

1. get there first and load grid at all costs
2. go somewhere else, because we don't want to be on the wrong end of a turkey shoot.

sad but we have no choice.

ps. dominion isn't "directly" responsible for this as in it hasn't actually made it more unstable. however the removal of the aoe dd has made fleet sizes absolutely enormous... and i don't think the devs really were ready for it.

Hey guys. Gonna give this game a try, apart from following the tutorial in game what advice can you give to someone who's literally not played the game.. As regards to Race choice etc etc. I want to do some epic poon with my ship.

Race and character history no longer plays any significance other than what your character looks like. Pick whatever looks good to you. What does matter is what type of ships you decide to fly(important -> AMARR IS EPIC ).

If you can wait, spend the first couple weeks getting your learning skills as high as possible, it will save you a lot of time later on.

I believe there's a BF2s channel you can join that usually has a bunch of the guys from this thread in there. They can give you real time advice while in game.

The most important thing though would be to find yourself a decent corp immediately(eve university), one that uses voice coms, has fleet commanders that do regular roams, and is willing to help new players. EVE is not a good solo game and you will get bored rapidly if you try to go that route.

needs to be played with mates or in a good corp to not get stale, it's not the best game to play solo. plenty of people do do that, but they end up drifting into afk mining. and besides, MMO =/= solo

What ever happened to those good old days where only 4 people had reached the Titan level... (2-3 years ago?-ish)

One can grind out the isk for a titan in about 6 - 8 weeks. All you have to do is pick up 4-5 hulk pilots off of the bazaar and mine arkonor and mercoxit in 0.0 space(or wormhole space, but it's a bitch moving the ore out). 4 hours of mining would yield you around 1b isk, and I think titan prices are around 75-80b atm(45b if you make it yourself).

I've looked into buying one for myself and it is currently around 55-65b for a titan hull. Its a pretty crazy climbdown from the 85-110b pre Dominion.

Wow, had not realized that they dropped that much. Might have to put that on the list of things to get then, lol.

yeah its still a pretty big commitment regardless of cost. I don't mind the loss of a character that always has to sit in it, but that turns certain people off.

IMO supercaps should never ever dock.

On which note, im about 2 months away from my first cap. I can either go for the Chimera or the Archon, so i think i'll go for the Archon. I don't want to be the twat repping POS shield all the time, i want to be the bitch that gets dropped into it all, hits triage and kicks ass.

Suggestions, Chimera or Archon.

Armor tankers are the majority for most part.

Is that in the game or do you mean like IRC channel? Does BF2s have a corp too? I looked at that Eve University one but there's alot of rules to it, especially when in a war.

Must say though, the game is really really good!
