Hello fellow missioners
I've come to ye olde forums today to offer my services and my exceptional company to you.
I am a PVP'er who occasionally takes time off from my favorite activities to run missions to recoup faction standings, sec status and isk. I do not enjoy PVE and would rather push spoons through my eyeballs than run many consecutive missions, however in the Eve we live in today PVE is sometimes an unfortunate necessity. (Dem locators...)
Therefore, in order to remove as much monotony from the PVE formula as possible, I like to break up my evenings by interacting with other missioners.
What am I offering?
Maybe you're a new player looking for ship fitting advice. Maybe you're a salvager looking for a steady suppy of wrecks. Maybe you're a new player having difficulty finishing that mission in your low-skilled BS, or maybe you're just looking for some idle chit chat. Whatever the case may be, I humbly offer my experience, my knowledge and my company.
I am willing to help you finish that mission (Or just work together for fun.) I am willing to abandon my wrecks to you, share LP and standings, come to your rescue when you mess up the triggers or simply give you advice. I'm not an Eve pro, but I have been missioning successfully for years and will help you as best as I know how.
I also have a perfect armor booster that can be put to use. That's a 30% faster rep cycle, for the all-time low price of a please and thank you.
I'm not on every night and sometimes my play times are inconsistent due to work, but watchlist me and if you're in the area when i'm online, shoot me an in-game convo or join the in-game channel.

You can shoot me legally if your in fleet with me right? I sometimes get lev 4 story missions that are combat that I have to abandon because my Rokh can't handle them. That doesn't mean I want to lose it to a gank. /hides

NO you can't shoot fleet members without concord intervention. I am normally on round 0600-0900 and between corps and would be happy for some company. Will keep an eye out for you.

You're right about the fleet aggro, thanks for pointing that out.
I would be happy to fleet up and will keep an eye out for you as well. Thanks for the interest. |

While I can appreciate and applaud that your intention may be genuine and honorable, I must advise caution to those who might be interested due to the scamming griefer mentality that's currently plaguing this game.

as far as I can tell it is the best it has ever been. There are many NPSI communities, Incursion communities have been going strong for years (okay drama pops up every now and then, but that's eve). Most of the easy ways to gank people have been removed. That said being cautious is still recommended, and don't fly what you can't afford to lose.
as far as I can tell the worst thing someone can do to my mission is steal the objective, in which case either buy it back, from them or in a trade hub, and don't fleet up with them again. Or slightly worse fail the mission. the standing hit isn't really worth worrying about.
I suppose for most people the worst thing would be a gank, but they more or less have to suicide to do that. At that point it's more funny than anything else. I imagine if you fly a ship shiny enough it is worth a gank, you will probably get hit regardless. If you are partnering up with someone for missions you really don't need a shiny fit, and so many decent shiny items are really low priced right now. A pith c-type x-l booster is 30mil, not too long ago caldari navy/dread guristas was standard on many ships and sold for 100m+. If your fit is expensive you are probably losing out on bringing someone else along anyways, these days I feel like I spend more time in warp than in mission

If your fit is expensive, you (Hopefully) have the skills to justify the bling, and if that's the case then this thread probably doesn't concern you anyway.
There's not really much I can say to prove to the naysayers that my intentions are genuine, but I will point out that my ships probably cost about 5x more than the average T1 BS belonging to the kind of player that I would probably be fleeted with. That in addition to the booster alt I mentioned in the OP and you can understand that I've got significantly more isk on the line than any new player that I may be assisting.
I'm really fine with slugging it out on my own, if it becomes apparent that nobody wants to bite. I just like a change in pace every once in a while and thought that someone, somewhere out there may be interested in what I was offering.
Had a few convo's today which tells me there are inquisitive people out there. Hoping to get more tomorrow.

Just to check it I went and jumped in my missioning rokh.
Its got:
8 350mm prototype Gauss guns. sensor booster II LMJD pith c type X large shield booster 5a protype sheild support 1 2 orion tracking cpu 1
DC2 track enhancer 2 3 mag stab 2s rigs are em thermal and kinetic screen reinforcers.
It comes with 318 dps with my skills I use thorium ammo so I hit out to 96km with a targeting range of 108km (again with my skills). The tank doesn't last long, but it only has to last long enough for me to get to range. Its probably a weak fit, but I haven't changed it in a long time as tbh I don't use it very often anyway.

The Rokh sure is a sad ship...
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, why do I post here?

I keep thinking about changing it for something better. I got gallente and mim battleship both at 3. Poor drone skills though. Most of my combat skills are in gunnery and shield tanking. I could try a megathron I guess. At some point I want to get a kronus. Right now I have a skill queue full of rigging 2-4 and propulsion 2-4 (ie high speed manoveuring, afterburner, etc.)

Tarojan, you should look at other options if you are indeed using that Rokh for running missions. Even a low skilled T1 BS will be able to outperform your current 318 dps without breaking a sweat, and will have a much better tank to boot. If you fly Caldari you can't go wrong with the Raven if you're looking for DPS, or the Scorpion if you want more tank.
I'm working tonight unfortunately and am taking a sick day tomorrow night to go drink some beers at a friends place (Don't tell my boss) but i'd be more than happy to help you out in-game the next time i'm online.
Watchlist me and send me a convo and we can figure something out. |

rokh is one of the most difficult ships to mission in from my experience. I don't do mjd ships, so that may e why. Switch to gallente if you want to use hybrids.

I'm honestly just a low skilled hauler who used to go wandering into low sec in her spare time in a dessie or merlin. Skill queue keeps being turned on and off as I sub/unsub/go train my trader alt.

Since you've got Large Hybrids you should consider a Domi or a Mega.
Your training is kinda all over the place, you've got Large Hybrids, but have better shield skills than armor skills and low drone skills. That leaves you in a bad spot in terms of missioning ships because the only hybrid shield ship that worth anything is the Rokh, and we've already seen what kind of dps you've got in that thing.
If I were you i'd commit to spending a few weeks training Armor, Drone, and Gallente BS skills. Bring the rest of your Large Hybrid relevant skills up to 4 while you're at it (Large Hybrid Specialization, i'm looking at you) and you could become a very decent missioner, very quickly. |

If I were to suggest some priorities...
(First) Buy a Megathron. It will be light years ahead of your Rokh even with your current skills.
(Second) Queue up:
Gallente BS IV (Gets you an extra 5% to rof and 7.5% tracking speed) Large Railgun/Blaster Specs to IV (So you can use T2 ammo in your guns) All Armor skills to IV All Nav skills to at least III Drone skills to whatever you want (The higher the better but they're not the main source of dps for a Mega.)
A quick google search produced this fit. Seems like a good staring point to work towards and you've already done a lot of the hard work - Training large guns. |

Well, response to this has been less than hoped for and I'm bored to tears in Highsec, so I've decided to move to null.
Thanks to those of you who replied and/or hit me up in-game. I'm sure i'll be back to HS missioning at some point. |

I'm interested in expanding my tiny list of collaborators. My hope for a small but active corporation with siblings and nephews evaporated by their eventual disinterest. I've been exceedingly reluctant to engage with anybody because it seems that the real point of Eve is "scams in space".
Not that there is anything wrong with that. I wholeheartedly endorse the lawless sandbox and take the game as it presents itself to me... warts and brilliance all in one.
With that said, I've built out two decent alts; one is a Gallente drone boat "specialist" and one is a Noctis specialist.
I'm unable to make a long-term commitment to be available for factional warfare or any other function that would require me to commit
My play times are sporadic but I'd like to find some ways to collaborate and learn from anybody (which is everybody) who is more adept at Eve than I.

We can't make a corp to co-operate and organise. It would just get war decced and then thats GG. Can't pve under the dec can't goto jita under the dec and god help you if you try to fight under the dec as then all 300 high sec "content creaters" will dog pile the 4-6 of us and hound us back into npc corps. Only way it can work is via shared chat channel.

If there are 300 mercs in Highsec, 283 of them are in Marmite and won't undock for anything but a defensless loot pinata or a sure victory, and the other 17 are in other wardeccing corps and are decently skilled, but seeing them all cooperate is as rare as seeing the planets align. |
