- Anyway, someone asked for a suggested skill list. I proposed my own as an example, that I've gotten in my way to the battleship (You didn't figure out people might have to make their way to a BS, did you? Of course not, you mindlessly rushed to it). Those (more than) 65 days allowed me to learn the game and go from total-newb-Ibis to Raven, with top of the line gear and a faction booster with it, in about 3 3/4 months. Including Adv. Learning to IV 'cept Cha, to Adv. III.
- Add another month and chips and I find myself with 1.3 bill in my wallet. Not to mention I never lost a Raven.
- But lo and behold, you lost 3 Ravens, due to lag. Yeah. Lag. Well maybe if you had "overskilled" a little, "lag" wouldn't have hit you so hard.
- You had to use 5-7 volleys to kill bs's because your skills sucked too. Not because cruises suck.
And before you reply, I never said torps suck, I just stated that their qualities don't make them the best choice for the efficiency or versatility running missions requires.
- "It's either extemely rare if not impossible to get faction equipment from those missions" is a valid sentence that implies it depends on which mission you're talking about, since the conversation was about a couple and not just one. Get your reading comprehension skills up before typing.
- Drone release. Intelligent use? Each time the issue was brought up, it was to warn about attacking. But it seems not everyone was able to get that.
Even then, did you know that it's been reported that the entrance of another entity to a room has caused blob aggro? Release of drones or even an ally? Aye, thought so. Oh but you don't have a problem in stating that as a fact. Amazing.
- I could say more but dude, you rushed to your ship, and you f*c*ed up thrice, and then you show up bashing a help thread?
I'm just telling people about this safe and efficient setup I came across that made me dirty rich. If that pi*$es you off, not my fault.
G'luck.
\O/ Completely agree with Ohmy \O/
For those new to Eve who want to make a 1bil+ pile of cash to enjoy the game with in a span of time less than a month ... Ohmy has just shown you one path. Yes there are other paths, but the path of the Level 4 mission is here and clear. The only effort you have to do is a)work up your faction standing until you get a good level 4 agent and b)pocess the ability to learn.
For me, the name of the game with the L4's is speed. Doing the missions as fast as possible making the most amount of ISK as possible in the shortest span of time. Looking at the debate so far it seems the main "disagreements" are over
To shield booster amp or not to shield boost amp. To faction shield boost or to T2 shield boost. To large drone or to medium drone. To cruise or to torpedo.
Whatever works for the people who use whatever then great. For the new L4 runner out there, try a mix and decide what you like and want to train for - simple. For missions your doing for the first time, always being aligned and ready to warp out is sound advice you have to be mad to flame.
When I first started running L4's I didn't have a clue and had to warp in and out on many missions. At first I was against it but buying faction gear made things so much easier and quicker that my ISK making speed increased noticeabley because I fired my missiles faster, for more damage and I could tank better. Training for T2 gear also makes things easier in that you have more leway for error eg. lag, sneezing fit or whatever. A tip of my hat to the OP who has explained this principle repeatedly throughout this thread.
