norxton	Posted - 2008.07.15 11:55:00 - [1] Hi All Can some one tell me if its true that the only way you can move around in 0.4 or lower sector with a dreadnoght is to wait for a friend or some one willing to create cynosural field at the destination you want to jump to, in other words there is no way you can jump around in a dreadnaught on your own just in case no friends are online or no one is willing to help you?
Don J Doom Guard	Posted - 2008.07.15 11:59:00 - [2] You can warp around (slowly). You cannot use star gates.
norxton	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:07:00 - [3] How and what do you mean by slowly?
belzebub1 Gallente The Funkalistic	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:10:00 - [4] Originally by: norxton How and what do you mean by slowly? WHat he means is that the thing takes an age to align and then an age to travel through warp. As an FYI you should not be purchasing a capital ship if you are unsure around how to use them Rgds Belz
H Lecter Gallente The Black Rabbits The Gurlstas Associates	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:14:00 - [5] Originally by: Don J You can warp around (slowly). You cannot use star gates. Add to the list: - You can dock in a station - You will die quickly when the surrounding systems know that you're there without support.

Ok, straight answer to a straight question. You do indeed need someone willing to create a cynosaural field for you if you wish to travel to another solar system. They must be ganged with you. You can warp normally in your present solar system with no problems (albeit slowly like the guy above said). You must have your fuel in your cargo hold when you jump. Don't buy a dreadnought unless you're into pos bashing, or anti-cap ship hitting, they serve very few other purposes. If you're doing either of those you're doing it with friends anyway so the cyno field shouldn't be a problem.
Sneaky Tiger Minmatar Republic University	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:32:00 - [8] One for sure, you don't want a random pilots come and offer a cyno for you. They may tell you the cyno is on a station in your target system, but it could actually be at their POS. Which of course has scramblers and webs and friends :P
norxton	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:36:00 - [9] Thats the reason why i dont like the idea. I think its stupid that a jump capable ship is unable to jump on its own its seems rediculous
Glassback Body Count Inc. The Requiem	Posted - 2008.07.15 12:47:00 - [10] Originally by: norxton Thats the reason why i dont like the idea. I think its stupid that a jump capable ship is unable to jump on its own its seems rediculous 1. It would make them horrendously over powered. 2. How would you determine where in a system you would apear? 3. Not flaming, but you are not ready for cap ships. G. LinkedIn
RayBanJockey	Posted - 2008.07.15 13:01:00 - [11] Originally by: belzebub1 As an FYI you should not be purchasing a capital ship if you are unsure around how to use them And here we go again I don't know which is sadest - that people keep saying "if u dont know then dont ask" or that I keep getting all flustered about it. It'll never go away

I think its stupid that a jump capable ship is unable to jump on its own its seems rediculous You're missing the point about cap ships. They're not designed for the solo player to motor about in lowsec. If you want to do that, get a fast frigate and learn to PvP. If you want to run missions, get faction and get a nice tricked out BS and run IV's (not V since you're clearly a solo player). Cap ships are for team play. Look closely at the Dreadnought you'll notice it's designed to shoot really big things. You planning on taking on someone's POS solo?

I think Jump Drives should lock onto stars...they wouldn't be any more overpowered than they are now...unless you consider cyno alts a great equalizer or something.

I think Jump Drives should lock onto stars...they wouldn't be any more overpowered than they are now...unless you consider cyno alts a great equalizer or something. But then what would I do with all those SP I dumped into Cyno Field Theory? Now you can't shoot DDD's at them and you're suggesting a perfectly reasonable fix (i.e. if you can't lock onto a freakin star what makes you think you can lock onto a signal produced by a FRIGATE?!). I'd have to file those SP's along with my defender missile SP (I have yet to actually get those to work).
bluebeyond MicroFunks	Posted - 2008.07.15 16:17:00 - [15] If you don't know this about cap ships gawds don't fly one...

It'll never go away This only apply to capital ships, and this is because they are very sophisticated equipment that require pilot to be experienced enought to actualy know basics of eve. ---

It'll never go away I think its saddest you don't understand why people say it, these are things you should just know before even thinking about getting into a capital, just telling someone isn't enough they should have fought against and alongside capitals so they can have an understanding of thier role and how they work in combat. Not to mention if they don't know about simple capital navigation they are unlikely to have even basic knowledge of how to use them.
MarleWH	Posted - 2008.07.15 19:42:00 - [19] I could swear I already explained this to you in game man.

How praytell did the first capital pilots ever manage to learn to fly them? Or the first pilots of anything really? Originally by: CCP Oveur The client handles no logic, it is simply a dumb terminal.

Daminma2 Perkone	Posted - 2008.07.15 20:15:00 - [21] Originally by: Anubis Xian How praytell did the first capital pilots ever manage to learn to fly them? Or the first pilots of anything really? Easy. Reading, test server and using the gray matter between their ears.
Malcanis We are Legend	Posted - 2008.07.15 20:17:00 - [22] Originally by: MarleWH I could swear I already explained this to you in game man. He didn't like the answer you gave him so he asked around for a better one. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.
Atsuko Ratu Caldari VSP Corp.	Posted - 2008.07.15 20:31:00 - [23] I know everything one could want to know about capital ships, including how to fit them. That being said, I have never asked any questions about capitals, or been inside one. It really isn't that difficult. If you don't even know how they move around (and thus, need to actually open a thread discussing it), you probably shouldn't be in one any time soon. Also, low sec dreads lawls. My favorite part was the skill remark. That made my day

Exact same here, well not everything but a lot more than some who fly them. You just pick these things up and read up about them, even if you dont want to ever fly them - know your enemy.

If people dont put post on forum asking questions then how can they read about what they need to know? as theres nothing to read!!. we are only asking for your advice im sure thats not much to ask and being a less experience player is not a crime.

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2008.07.16 09:15:00 - [26] Or do like me... I had no clue how to jump my Rorqual after building it... Undocked, hostiles, cyno up, jump..... jump... ?! Ahh you need to put fuel into the cargo for it to work... pew-pew. Dock. Pulse. Hate low-sec. Fuel into cargo. Undock. Pew-pew. Jump. Success!
