Zero Kelvin

I skilled my main to 5 on production efficiency. It took a while since he’s remapped to gunnery/spaceship command at the moment but living where we are I thought it was best.

Have been hitting anomalies with my awesome Carrier / Commandship combo which works like a charm, clearing the hardest anomaly in about 30 mins. That would net me between 60-100 M / h if I could grind it out. Looting takes a while though, so I’m thinking of getting my alts Tengu ready for some 40km tractor goodness.

So far, I’ve been building T1 hulls off the minerals that I gather in the anomalies, figuring it would be a better net yield than to sell the minerals straight off. I probably should skill some refining and start buying alloys to build from and not to gather all alloys myself. That way, I can keep buildslots rolling with ships and I don’t haveto sell my alloys to the alliance at cut rates.

We got access to a lot of c2-3 wormholes in our region and I was thinking of how I would roll in the wormholes considering the collected skills of my two chars.

One can fly armor tanked ships fully T2 fitted and up to including carriers and dreads, the other is the scirmish expert with skills up to and including shield tanked command ships.

My main can fly a Proteus and my alt can fly a Tengu which would be my dream team. Thinking of probing with the Proteus and running sites and DPS with the Tengu, helping out with the Proteus.

Has anyone done this? Are there any decent fittings that arent stupid expensive since I count on loosing some or are there maybe another really sweet combo?

Found my alt tackled in a belt yesterday, I tabbed out to put my main in warp and tabbed back to see a Cynabal try to down my alt in her Nighthawk.

The Cynabal had deployed EC-300 drones and started bumping her orbiting on 700m.

I loaded Scourge and started pounding the Cynabal as long as I had lock on him, deployed drones to chew my way through the EWAR.

Lost lock one time and got a re-lock and continued to pound the Cynabal. Thanks to my lazy ass afk tank on the Nighthawk I got the Cynabal into armor and almost into STRUCTURA before he jumped. Too bad I hadnt a point fitted. I had about 15% shields and a DC left.

I rat in a PVP-ish fit to be able to easily refit for pvp, extenders, resists, bcus and extender rigs for buffer.

We swapped alliancesa couple of weeks ago. It was one of the bigger projects in game that I have had the pleasure of running and keeping everything running including the members happy was a real chore.

Now, we are a few days into the move to our 0.0-home and its nice to see people starting to crysallize and be pushed into taking more responsibility.

Never move ships when you’re in a hurry. Especially not into unknown systems with kickout stations.

Yesterday I decided to gung ho it and move my carrier. Was a little tired, on my way to bed and set up the cyno too close to station which meant i bounced 24km off the blasted thing. It’s exciting to do 1+km/s with a carrier lol.

A Rapier uncloaks on the undock (guess they camp it since its a kickout) and proceeds to light a cyno. Ganktime commences with 10 or so carriers that neut the snot out of me and reduce my wreck to a smoldering heap.

Good times.

Well, as long as I learn from this and:

1. Dont move stuff before going to bed, do it with a clear mind
2. Wait for other alliance and get input and experienced help with moving the fkn carrier, even though we become red in current location
3. Didnt want that carrier anyways

A few corpmates have been living in a low class worm hole for most of the fall.

They wanted out and a few of us bought them out. The worm hole has a static class 4 connection and a few of us did a few sites this morning. Each c 4 anomaly net somewhere between 100 and 125 m isk and we do them in about 30 mins excluding salvage.

If we get a few good worm holes with a good amount of anomalies I hope that we can do a few billions to split on four, it would be really nice.

No losses, a few kills and a little wormhole thrill.

This friday, I undocked a shield-buffered Hurricane that my alts been skilling for. Dual medium neutralizers, some dakka dakka autocannons and a permarunning MWD means good times.

On the first kill I missed the tackle of Raimo in a Fed Navy Comet by a corpmate so he popped my mates Taranis while I was in warp. After I landed, I tackled, dried him up and beat him down. The same clown must have had about 10 Comets which he entered Providence with and subsequently got popped and podded.

I bought a sabre and we started roaming providence in Intys, AFs and a Dictor. We caught Raimo a second time and popped him again.

After that I switched to scanner / drake and set of into the unknown, wormholes and started looking for good wormholes with anomalies so I could stack up on nanoribbons for T3-production.

Unfortunately, I didnt find one single nanoribbon in the class 2 and class 1 I was doing the entire day. Next time I’m doing C3, apparently the droprate of nano ribbons are much higher on the higher class wormholes.

After I got tired of sitting alone in a WH the entire day I found an exit in lowsec and powered home. Switched to the trusted Sabre and joined the roaming gang in Providence.

We managed to snag a Cruiser before bedtime 100km from a gate. A UK Bellicose which got my sabre into hull after I had bubbled it, but I managed to motor out of the bubble and warp to another gate eve though he tackled me. Pure luck, I was a litte trigger happy, because we had an Arazu on the way to tackle him.

Hydra had a gang with bombers and faction frigates out and about so we decided to dock up and I went to bed. Apparently they raided a carbear camp in a system which ended horribly.

I recently bought a Nightmare and I’ve been pimping it steadily.

My current fitting for the Nightmare is a real shitfit to be honest.

Hi: 4x T2 Tachyons

Med: XL Named shieldbooster, T1 Shield boost amp, 2x Cap rech, T2 Invuln, 2x mission hardener

Low: 2x T2 PDS, 1 T2 Heat Sink, 2 Imperial Navy Heat Sink

One more IN HS is coming on there, after that I’m going to pimp the tank a little with CN Invuln and maybe deadspace booster and amp. We’ll see.

On all lvl 5 in EFT I can break 1170 DPS with a couple of +5% damage implants, so this is what I’m currently aiming for, although the amount of lvl5 skills that are needed for that kind of damage output is plain silly. So I’m going for broke with 1000 DPS with faction Multi including drones and implants if necessary.

Aiming for something silly like this is good for your overall skill layout. I get to max out my gunnery and drone skills. After that I’m going to max out my shield tanking skills, even though the arent strictly necessary.

We ran a couple of missions yesterday in corp and it was almost ridiculus, I managed to gank most rats in at most three volleys. By then my mates drones hadnt even reached the target. LOL!

My alt skilled into a T2 HAM Drake the other day. Not an insane amount of DPS but a good combination with EHP. I recently flew this fitting in a fleet and helped popping in total five ships.

The fitting is as follows:

HI: 7 T2 HAM

Med: MWD2, J5b Scram, X5 Web, 2x Invuln2, LSE2

Low: PDU2, DC2, 2x BCU2

Drones: Hobgoblin2

If you exchange the PDU for an RCU I think there is room for a small energy neutralizer in the last top slot.

For a bigger fleet with more dedicated tackle I think I’ll change the EWAR to Tp + WD2.

Last night I bought the Large Beam Specialization skill for my main and tried to inject it.

Tried. I thought I’d trained Sharpshooter 5 earlier but that wasnt so. Now I have a 7 day delay before I can fit T2 Tachyons on the Nightmare.

I was about to buy a nice Shield Boost Amp but I had to invest in a cloaky hauler for my alt which set me back a little…
