  1. Better than Cormack's modified Mag stab

    Im sorry brother, but realistically this Mag Stab is about 750 mil ISK. But nevertheless its a really nice mod.
  2. A fun fleet, of sorts - Come One, Come All

    Thats strange. Im pretty sure that back in the days we managed to win a few contests with Blob and his swarm of snakes warping in, doing damage then warping off before the payout. Or do i remember wrong , @Blobert ? PS: But yeah, either way im pretty sure its a bad idea on the long run for various reasons.
  3. A fun fleet, of sorts - Come One, Come All

    I personally dont think this should be a regular thing. The idea was cool, but the execution is just not there and i dont think it is possible to be ever there.
  4. Upgrade Guide (WIP)

    There are some advantages for ascendancy+logi. Like catching up with the fleet faster if you were just invited or you were a baddie and afked too much. Which can make EASILY the difference of "fleet can do this tcrc" or "fleet is waiting for a site". But most importantly if you ever plan to fly any kind of battleship and you are not a 100% dedicated logi only pilot then ascendancy is simply the best. PS: Also +4 is more than +3. I did the math!
  5. Nightmarechat MOTD

    Roles should not be in there at all. They are not in logi channels either anymore and it just causes clutter without purpose, duplicating an already existing info (fleet chat motd). Also yeah, any kind of name list, like the chain that frequently changes should be at the very bottom, or almost at the very bottom, Just like in logi channels.
  6. Scorpion Navy issue Useable?

    Once upon a time, many years ago the Scorp Navy was allowed. But in the current cut-throat competitive environment only the best hulls can be fielded which are for WTM: Vindi, Nightmare, Leshak. The few "other accepted" hulls on the fitting website are just serving as stepping stones.
  7. Interested in Seeing What Others Play

    I am a big fan of Among Us. Be it serious games, or literally just goofing around being silly, even throwing rounds intentionally sometimes. All are extremely fun for me. I was hoping we could get a regular WTM lobby in EUTZ hours whenever the focus is down. We started pretty strong for a few months, but i guess after the hypetrain a lot of ppl lost interest. However hope dies last! I also like to play chess and enjoy 10 year olds kicking my ass, lol.
  8. I would be interested in a scouting channel

    Guide is fine, teaching people is fine. Actively using it as scouting information while fleet is running is not fine at all.
  9. I would be interested in a scouting channel

    PC works better imo. Channel has the chance to have a spy in it. Or just ppl who spam unnecessarily. Even my scout PMs are spammed sometimes, lol. Also if anything a channel needs to be permed. a PC doesnt. If someone wants to scout that bad, should just ask the FC if they need one. I never said no to anyone so far.
  10. The best Christmas movie ever

    LOL. Firs of all Die hard is a much older movie. Secondly Bud and Terrence are are evergreen! Thirdly T_T
  11. The best Christmas movie ever

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109321/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 This is the obvious answer, duh!
  12. Christmas Incursions as a returning newbro

    NM and Pally are both queued as snipers. This week the sniper queue was surprisingly empty. Also with T2 gun you have a better chance to get into fleet during "Optimal Hours", you can find the topic in the Warp To Me News thread. If this is your only ship that you fly around, without a Bowhead then refit to "brick tank" when you are moving to a different location. Get bulkheads on the lows with the DCU and a lot of LSE on mids with hardeners. Also note that you have a frigate bay now in battleships, which you can use for various reasons, like hauling consumables, fit the frig with some extra mods, just keeping your pod safer, etc. I would go X-type MWD first then faction sinks or the other way around. After those 2 you can choose the next step. TBH Faction cap transfers are not really more useful than T2. Its the same just a bit more range.
  13. Rattlesnake Questions

    Well, neither is really good unfortunately But im kinda surprised by that. Should be the other way around. But i guess maybe implants and skills can tip the balance the other way?
  14. Rattlesnake Questions

    In my opinion the changes you made are totally fine and acceptable. However keep in mind that WTM would like to see everyone in optimal hulls after 30 in-fleet hours at most. : ) One more thing: i am pretty sure that you would do more paper damage with 3 DDA and 2 Ballistic. Should probably try that one.
  15. Returning to EvE Online

    Fleets are def. lacking logi 5s nowadays.
  16. The traditional day-two upgrade

    If you want to go budget, then go Quadlif -> Gist-X . Anything less is just money out of window. In a fast fleet you can easily get the ISK for a Gist-X in less than 2 hours. Why waste for anything else ? Eventually you are going to probably buy the Core-X anyway, no matter how pricy it is. Probably.
  17. Need Them Badges

    Dis fakin guy!

  23. Nightmare Newbro Assistance

    Not too bad from someone who only flown 2 focus. Few addendums / fixes after reading. If you dont have enough cap, you broadcasted but did not receive any: at 10% cap turning off everything that consumes cap and keeping the hardeners on-and-running is standard procedure. This does include turning off your guns. Most dangerous thing about bumping AAA is to get it out of position and thus getting the whole logi squad out of position, cuz they are also anchoring on AAA. The only Sansha ship where snipers HAVE TO sit still in order to hit it is the Mara Paleo. That guy is so tiny, you need as much tracking as possible. NRF is the one site where you will be struggling a bit with ranges as a pulsemare. Leshaks should be around ~15 kms from targets. A pulsemare should be around ~25 kms from those spawning 2nd and 3rd wave Antems. So Pulsemare should be between AAA and Leshak, closer to sansha, but still not as close as a Leshak optimally. Honestly a Beam Mare could just do the exact same with constantly using Gleam, cuz its kinda similar optimal. Honestly i would not try to actually change scripts inside a site ever. Maybe while you are in warp, but def wouldnt turn off the TC in site, unless you are desperate to save cap or you are comfortably bashing a tower on optimal range. Why? Cuz you are going to forget to change script and/or turn them back on. Trust me. You will. Shooting with a sniper is actually the simplest thing ever. Follow tags. A-I ->1-9 -> XYZ , never-ever J. DPS and Leshak even more so can be a bit different cuz of application, but you are a sniper you should be applying just fine all the time. So: AS A SNIPER YOU ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS FOCUS FIRE AND STRICTLY FOLLOW TAGS! The only exception is the explicit voice command of FC, if FC wants you to shoot something different. Thats it. No other exception, ever. Out of the 3 sites only 1 (NRF) has more than just a few letter tags anyway. So in 2 sites you will mostly shoot number tags. In order. How to improve your cap : -Get a shinier fit. Get X-type 500MN (biggest help you ever get for cap as an item), get faction CPR (Cap Power Relay). -Get the Inherent Implants 'Squire' Capacitor Management EM-806 implant. It is super-great. -Improve your skills! These are all helpful about this order: Controlled Bursts, Capacitor Management, Capacitor Systems Operation, Capacitor Emission Systems, High Speed Maneuvering, Acceleration Control, Warp Drive Operation, -Stagger your active modules, like the hardeners, remote cap transfers, tracking computers. They will consume slightly less that way, also staggering hardener is safer if you drop down to 0 cap anyway (standard procedure).

    Updated some tiny bits.
