Eve....again

[JanuZ]

if you are flying a cormorant I would most likely use a passive tank.
 
7x - 125mm Railguns
small shield extenders invul mod, maybe spare a slot for AB in mid.
Reactor core unit if needed else a mag. field stabilizer in low.

personally I never really liked the Destroyers and prefered missile frigates or railgun frigates for low level missions.

Yep, skip Destroyers. Go Kestrel -> Caracal -> Drake -> Raven -> Golem

Though if you plan on doing incursions rather than missions I would steer clear of missile boats. On that note. Anyone doing Incursions on a regular basis? I would love to give them a shot

[vladic]

Currently not in possession of a commarant, waiting on completion of my Caracal skill training then gonna get one of those, as the commarant is actually a decent ship however once at close range effectivly your screwed due to lack of drones and only light missle damage

Well, then keep your missile boats and skill for cruiser+logistics lvl5 and run Incursions in a Basilisk

[JanuZ]

Are you going to buy me a Nightmare so I can do them if I start my account again

[Vargen]

You can't even fly one! But I guess we could have Neddy make us a couple of those. I'll buy the ships if you buy the mods! :norty:

[JanuZ]

I can fly it, my alt has 5 in caldari and amarr BS, Last skill I trained on my alt was Large energy turrets 5 I think, might still need a few more skills for T2 lasers.

Did some Incursions tonight. Got to say, I just love it! It's not super efficient income/hour, but man what a laugh and a social way to make iskies. Flying in a 40 man fleet with 10 logistics pilots is pretty damn cool. Especially with random aggro from the the rats, and some insane volley damage. I will definitely be doing more of this!

I first tried out the public VG channels, but I found that there was more activity in the HQ channels, so I jumped right into a HQ as a first timer. They were more than happy to have a Basilisk pilot with Logistics lvl5 Quite a nice bunch.

If you haven't tried Incursions yet in Eve, I strongly suggest you do. However, it is not something I would advice newer players to jump right into. If you are familiar with the workings of fleets and plexes, then this is a good alternative. Best of all your pimped out ships are relatively safe

Take your in a PVE/PVP corp Vargen? as currently im still in my NPC corp as im currently looking for a PVE corp, currently im working towards a Drake.

[Vargen]

Yep, there seems to be a lot of mining/industry players at the moment, but we do have quite a few PvPers as well. I'm in FireStar Inc, which is the corp I've been in for most of my Eve time. We base out of Providence, which is 0.0 space open to anyone with neutral or better standing with CVA and friends. If you are not in a corp with good standing towards CVA, aka neutral to them, you have to pay docking fees at the Outposts. All of Providence is NRDS though, so you are free to rat, plex and do PI. There is also an intel channel to see if there are hostiles around and a ingame website to look up names of players if they are known hostiles.

 The Incursions I did last night were through public Incursion channels though. You can read more about Incursions here.

[vladic]

I may be interested in joining if they are okay with a PVE/Miner joining although my focus is more on PVE at moment then mining

[Vargen]

Well as with any other 0sec corp/alliance, members are expected to be able to help defend their space should the need arise. Other than that I see no problem with being a mining/PvE focused player.

Keep in mind though, in 0sec there are no concord police to save you Still safer than low sec though

[vladic]

well currently im in highsec working on skills and standing (Missle skills and working towards money for Drake)

[vladic]

also ive no issue with helping out with defence as long as im given some PVP training before hand or idea's for a fitting as currently im using missles which ive heard are not recommended for use in PVP
