So you were out for a while and 40 minutes back you jumped into a billion ISK hull you couldn't afford to replace? And you didn't bother to read up on patches and ship changes? No bastion module?

1- pilot is dumb to not read patchnotes after not plaing for some time
2- pilot is dumb enought to actually die in a mission (cause a corrrect fit paladin, even from before patch, would have survived)
3- pilot is dumb enought for complaining / whining about it on forum.


tldr; pilot is dumb, game punished him for being dumb, working as intended

also, welcome back

No.. Just no...

You losing your paladin because you didn't bother to catch up on what's new isn't worth me donating a single ISK to save your EVE. No one could save your EVE except yourself. If you had purchased a bastion module your paladin would have shrugged off all of the DPS because of the resists bonuses and the 100% rep bonus it offers.

That was an even harder pill to swallow because these guys probably stalked me for a bit, found a chance and took me out with 10 destroyers (which took about 6-7 seconds). What's worse, is that ship was paid by whatever I had left from constantly running L4's and by PLEX's.. which is far worse.

I took a month off, came back, worked my way up to now having an asset base of around or over 3.5 billion (and I have a PVP alt that I support).

So here's a suggestion: man the hell up and take the loss. Get a T1 battleship, do the grind, save up, be disciplined, get another Paladin and do it right this time (fit a bastion module). As long as you don't make it a gank pinata by fiting faction/deadspace modules on it, you will never have to worry about losing it ever again, unless you're just seriously stupid.

I'm not posting to just be a **** and further assist you in deciding to biomass your character and quit EVE for good. If you take it that way, it's not my problem. Things like that don't teach if all you hear is "oh, I'm so sorry" and "oh man, that really sucks." It definitely doesn't teach you anything by having people you don't know throw ISK at you so you can replace your shiny marauder. In that case, you won't learn anything, and when you do replace it, it wouldn't mean jack squat to you. Take it or leave it, but 90% of the people who replied here, while might not be the nicest or the most compassionate, are actually trying to help.

This would have turned out differently had you put officer mods on your ship.

sorry but i'm glad this CNR was put out of it's misery

i mean, that's a joke fit right? right?

Well, it could-¦ve been a 1200 dollar navy raven.

Or 2

Pretty much covers it.

"Capsuleer Law #1: Don't fly what you can't afford to lose.

Capsuleer Law #2: Don't trust anyone.

Capsuleer Law #3: If in doubt, refer to the first or second laws."

Pretty much covers it.

Me too. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have learned how to play EVE. The reason it was fit the way it was because I didn't have the skills to fly it properly. That was the only way I learned. While I still despise Projected Damage, I appreciate what they did. Because I know a lot more than I would have otherwise.

EDIT: yes, it is a joke fit, and I laugh at it myself. If I don't, it just depresses me because I put at least $40 into something that went boom a couple of days later lol.



Nobody's getting mad. We're just trying to push you in the right direction. Asking for ISK isn't good and it won't help your cause. Actually doing something about it will make the difference between a poor experience and a really good learning tool. Take it with a grain of salt, and ignore the "delicious tears" remarks. Believe me, people have come back from losses that will cast a long shadow over the 1.7 bil Paladin you just lost ;)

If you message me in-game, I will be more than glad to help bring you up to speed on what's current in EVE. (:
