There was talk about a client for mobile phones which would let you mess with market orders and change skills but I don’t know that anything came of it. Might be still on the drawing board like comet mining and planetary flight.
actually there was a deal in everquest where you could log a chat client into different realms chats … I would so love to get into bams spot or corp chat from my computer without being logged into the game … and if i could do it with my moto m 9 in web surf mode, that would rock!
any chance of a ventrilo for web phoones? lol
So I finally got it installed and I don’t think I can play anymore either. It locks up and crashes as soon as I enter space. Since I entered space already I can’t play.
Hmm I found a POS erected in w-space, I wonder if the owner knows that the w-space system he’s in has an entrance to goon space.
Ideas for what to do next on a postcard please. It looks like the guy is setting up for some serious pve (claymore, multiple dominxes, transport shops all at the pos).
Currently I’m thinking of dropping 4-5 disposable BS (torp ravens) on them while they’re running a sleeper complex.
And Whack-a-Mole’s feared anarchists forge ahead. I am jealous of those of yu that get to play.
Well…those wormholes are very transitory. That connection will not last long.
Unfortunately it will be very hard to siege a POS in W-Space. Depends of course on how big the POS is, its defenses and how many battleships or Dreads you can get in.
Mostly POS out there are useful staging areas. You can refit there, maybe build ammo, store loot and so on. No moon poo out there though.
Can you post your machine’s model/specs? Are you sure you support shader model 3 on your graphics card?
Also, have you tried a full delete and re-install of EVE?
If you delete it be sure to delete EVERYTHING. Not sure what might get left behind but clear it all out as best you can.
Update ALL drivers to the latest available.
Do any cleanup on your machine you can (defrag, and so on…whatever you do to a Mac).
Re-boot.
Re-install EVE.
I’m loving the new graphics. They make my comp chug a little in certain cases but all in all they are good. I miss my shiny barges though, the new gray is too dull.
mswas: I second the suggestion to re-install. If the 3 previous downloads were corrupt then the fourth one might have been too. It could be the cause of the crashes, since normally being inside the station is what people say lags the most.
If you need me to re-dock you or switch a skill or something, PM me the particulars.
In the Graphics options menu increase your Shader Quality level. I noticed when playing with it that it can drastically affect the look of the ship. Of course a tradeoff between looks and speed but something you might want to check.
Man I wish I had a Zealot so I could cut through the armor on a pod. ;p
Check out the other people on the mails. I beat interceptors to the kills.
And, I should add, I did it from 100 km.
Ahh I see, so it’s the speed you are talking about.
I’m jonesing for a Proteus myself.
I don’t plan on flying T3 any time soon. At the very least not until the price comes down far enough that it makes sense to invest in it. And maybe not ever, as I hate losing skillpoints. Even for rank 1 skills.
Well I think the T3 ships are going to dominate here in a minute. The amount of bonuses you get on even the most basic ship are ridiculous. Not to mention that armor is incredibly thick with high resists on a fast ship.
I haven’t checked 'em out in EFT to be honest, well, since there isn’t a new EFT version. If they make sense I may train for them. I dunno though…
I didn’t see it in EFT. I just looked at all the Proteus subsystems. Each subsystem not only gives the ship more power than a T1 frig but also has bonuses that come with EACH subsystem. So not only do you get Battlecruiser armor with Heavy Assault Cruiser resists, you also get bonuses that are relative to your skill in that subsystem. So on top of the resists of a Deimos with 3200 armor, you can have +5% resists per level and a bonus to remote armor rep. Then all four other subsystems have 1 or more bonuses, and you can at times get more fitting slots than a regular cruiser, like six highs on the Proteus. So imagine 6 highs, 4 meds, 4 lows, 3200 armor, high base resists, damage bonuses, 5 light drones, 190m/s base propulsion, lower Microwarp/AB reqs, and a big capacitor.
I think they’ll be toys for the people with 4 accounts and 50m sp to play with rather than a common pvp sight like HACs and recons have become.
I did my first wormhole PvE stuff last Saturday. The basic ‘unknown’ wormhole w-space (the easiest of the 3 levels of w-space) is doable with 2 ratting ships and no real preparation.
We used a cruise raven (fit a sensor booster, there are turrets you can kill from outside their dps range if you do, which is of immense use) and a harbringer to kil the smaller stuff. If I was going again I’d bring a beam apoc/abaddon and a zealot with a pve tank(EANMs + MARII). Both ships need a tank as the sleepers do tend to switch targets on a whim. Don’t bring drone boats, they seem to always try to pop your drones (do bring cheap tech 1 drones to use to take the pressure off your tank in an emergency)
Took us about 3 hours to clear out the w-space of anomalies. During this time we probably made about 50m-60m each in tech 3 bits and NPC buy order fluff. That’s about what we would have made ratting, without the possibility of faction spawns and with the pain of having to drag loot up to empire. I can’t see myself bothering with it again.
I’ve been looking at the specs on a Proteus, it’s pound for pound the toughest ship in the game. Well Strategic cruisers are. They are far more badass than their T2 equivalents. Sure they’ll be limited for a while, but eventually I think everyone will want one. As it is we already had hundreds of Orcas rolling off the lines by this time after the release of Quantum Rise. I am not seeing T3 parts on the market at all. It’ll be a while until the game is populated with them, but when they are finished melting down people’s Ishtar’s they will proliferate.
