Im new to eve. Started several years ago then wife got all uppity about how addicted i was. Started back up almost year ago. Ground out a years worth of plex mining ice. Learned a bunch about the game. Decided my goal was carrier ratting using sentries. Along the way i was going dominix and rattler because it looks cool even if it wasnt really an upgrade to dominix. More like a month skill detour to have a ship that looks awesome rather than a potato
Setup evemon skillplan for full year. Been logging on intermittently to keep skill que chugging along. Im a month put from maxing out the drone skills i had planned
Today i read the nerfs their making to sentry ratting. Not sure what i should do now....
1) ive heard rattler is completely trash(cant handle that) now rather than subpar(could handle that)
2) that heavies with improved tracking were gonna be the new fotm for drones?
3) that lights were the new fotm for drones
4) carrier fighter drones were a close second choice for carrier ratting are they the new fotm drone for carriers? Would still have to decide on my bs drone choices. Or should i do bare minimum in regukar drones. Grab a conventional weapon system and jump to fighters when get a chance?

EVE is a game about spaceships and there's an enormous amount of work to do on the in-space gameplay before players (or developers) are ready to sacrifice it for a totally new type of gameplay - CCP Rise |

meh ... nerfs didn't particularly effect the Domi or Ishtar and had no effect whatsoever on the AFK sniping Domis that are using bouncers out to 160km :D |

Never not mega.
Money at its root is a form of rationing.
When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is.

People complaining and actual game effects are not even the same ballpark.
doesn't mean they are wrong but try it yourself b4 you cry.
half the people complaining were basing it off the drone stats in game (which are def borked) rather than try the sentries in combat

You know what MMOs are like, the slightest nerf to one thing suddenly makes it "obsolete" even though it really isn't.
If you keep on chasing the "flavour of the month" you'll never be ready. |

Well the choice is obvious, the ultimate in ship design and power, the Leopard. Word on the space vine is that even the Jovians are afraid of its potential.
But i would suggest you hurry and take advantage of this powerhouse of a ship before your Nerf Things We don't Like committee begin a thread stating "OMG it's too powerful for us to handle, nerf it to nerf hell".
You should be able to contact your friendly ccommitte member to find out about the timetable for the nerf thread and CCP agreement.

I suggest he start with a blinged out Nestor, undock from Jita, and wave at the Lemmings on the way out, who provide escort services for you guys on the 4-4 navy undock. Don't forget to toss them some isk, they are providing this service for free as a courtesy of longtime Goon supporter Gevlon Goblin.

Domi are still fine for PVE. Can hit over 80km with Garde IIs, would be further, but I have only 2 omnidirectionals with the optimal range scripts and 1 optimal range rig. Used to have 3 omnis, but took one off and replaced it with a target painter a while back since I use more than one domi for PVE. The other drones can still hit well over 100km.
Also, the activation on omnis is very negligible on the cap. Didn't change any on my cap stability. |

nah, basically anyone that didn't start in 2003 is new to eve. Tho every 100 billion isk or 12 plexes you scammed out of someone can be substituded for one year of playing eve.
So if you started in (for example) 2005 you'd have to have stolen 24 plexes or 200 billion isk to not count as a newby.
I'm still working on my "not a newby anymore" status, naturally it's little bit difficult for me as I started out in 2008 whhich means I'll have to steal 60 plexes, or 500 billion isk.
Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I have not tried it yet, although did the dominix and other such drone ships get a substantial buff with the advent of the mobile depot? I would have thought constantly being able to resupply your drones would give some advantage given how quickly drones die to npc's now. |
