keep one repper on and burst the other if you need it.. this will be enough tank.

Wat level missions are u running? If it's lvl 2's u really dont need that much tank, seeming as though the Maller has inherent bonuses to armor. If lvl 3's, why not use a prophecy for more damage output.

Also, most missions don't do all types of damage so u dont need ALL the armor hardeners. If, for instane, ur against Sansha's, who do EM/Therm, u can drop the Explosive and Kinetic hardeners and replace them with heat sinks for more damage output,; as i bet it's rather poor for using small guns on a ship with no damage bonuses.

Plus, i make prohecies, so u know....

get on eve now kk

Massive fleet battles = win.

Just had about a 100 on 100 battle about an hour ago. It was awesome.

Having access to the better ships and lots of skill points does make the game more enjoyable, but really, success in this game comes down to having more numbers and a better strategy than your enemy.

Free 2 week trial. Give it a try.

*This game is not good if you try to go solo. You need to join a corp with other good players.

can someone explain really simply the whole jump clone thing to me?

you have a clone at one station and one in the other. Say they are 30 jumps apart. You can go from one to the other without having to travel all those jumps. However you must have 8.0 standing with the faction whos station you want to put a jump clone in, which means you will be grinding lvl4's for a while before you get there, i just got 8.0 with gallente so im gonna put a clone in the vylade station. You can only put a jump clone in a station with a medical facility. When you switch clones you do not have the same implants. It is useful if you are going to go on a pvp mission with your corp/alliance and you have a good chance of dying, you switch to your clone that does not have the implants so you will not loose them if you get podded. Its cool because you can have a "skill training clone" with all +5's and a "missioning clone" with armor/damage implants. You can not switch your clone but once a day.

Tl;dr:
Teleport from one side of universe to the other instantly once a day at max, make sure you dont loose implants.

right, so say im in kaunokka, and i want a clone in vylade, i need to get my fed navy standings up to 8, fly to vylade and buy a clone there?

yep


Super duper carebears have even made a jump clone in one of every mission hub for each race, they avoid anti-race missions like anti amarr or caldari missions and only do anti serpentis, angels, sansha, ect...  getting 8.0 standing for all 4 races. And this enables them to pretty much fly anywhere in the world effortlessly. Takes forever though.

Note: Stay away from a system called Decon, its a little system no one knows about full of -10 pirates in shiny tech2 ships belonging to the same corp, i barely got away today and yesterday. The system that starts with an S next to it is pretty interesting tho, i killed a rifter yesterday and a vexor today in my harbinger.

Used to be one of the "hot" systems back in the day, kind of like Rancer is now, or Old Man Star.

Tama is bad, Amamake, Old Man Star, Egghelende, Rancer... these are all systems that are typically camped by pirates. There's another major one too but I can't remember off the top of my head.
