I just had probably my gayest 2 losses because my ships would just randomly go HUR RETARDMODE and re-approach the enemy and DIAF. Like seriously I was going in a fucking circle at one point my ship was being such a gayass, despite me telling it to gtfo. | ||

I discovered while preparing for our frigate tournament that every frig Caldari has either has no dps no range but tank, has dps but no range and not enough speed to catch any other frigate, has range but no dps or tank. Merlins and Kestrels are simply too slow to compete when their rivals have a higher base speed and more low slots. We need a good frigate, we need hybrids to actually do damage and not be completely contrary to everything else we've trained ever and we need shield tanking to actually be a viable part of fleets. When Caldari ships are too sluggish to run with minnie shield tanks and simply unwelcome in armour tanked gangs we really have no option but the drake. It's the only universally decent ship in the Caldari arsenal. It's not awesome, it's just easier to get into a drake than to make a new character and avoid the mistake which is Caldari. I'll just start by posting some eft fits, then some movies. Merlin Merlin pvp video Before you go crying "whee whee but eft says it does 77dps" realize that rockets do more dmg than eft says because of the web how much more I'm not exactly sure but vil might know the numbers. Then you can realize that it has 7.5k ehp and the passive regen of a small armor repairer as well as a full set o tackle. You can always fit an ab on it and go pvp in amamake with it or something. Maybe even squeze some lasers on there. Do you have another link to that merlin video, the one in that thread you linked too is 404ing for me.

Is it possible that I double clicked on something like keep at range or target or something and my ship (because i double clicked in the select items menu) decided to re-approach the enemy? I just had probably my gayest 2 losses because my ships would just randomly go HUR RETARDMODE and re-approach the enemy and DIAF. Like seriously I was going in a fucking circle at one point my ship was being such a gayass, despite me telling it to gtfo. There aren't any known bugs that would cause you to re-approach another ship in space without manual user input (at least when I checked the Eve-online bug forums). So either you, A) Hit a Object in space B) Double Clicked something on Overview or C) Hit the max distance that your orbit/keep at ranged is set for. You can petition it if you want, but there's pretty much no chance you'll get your ships back. CCP doesn't exactly have the best track record of refunding lost ships (unless you're in a titan and part of IT) Edit: Made some sentences work correctly | ||

Last man standing was myself in a 17 dps condor which successfully picked its fights while having enough sustained damage to eventually bring down all its buffer rivals. However I disqualified himself as part of a prior agreement not to be fucked over by VoV. Winner was Nou Mene in a vigil which as far as I can tell did no damage but was ridiculously fast. At several points it was simply outrunning missiles and avoiding damage. I can't really complain about how gay that is and in fairness frigate fights are all about controlling range and speed. 50m isk to him. Second place was VoV in a fairly standard rifter that balanced enough dps, buffer and regen to survive the early melee and bring down the supertanked rivals. A very solid ship although it could neither evade nor escape the faster ships which harassed it from outside its range. He scooped 30m isk for his trouble. Third place went to Caelum Terra who flew a hardcore tanked cap boosting monstrousity. One of only two pilots bold enough to show up without a mwd (perhaps recognising the futility of trying to chase down faster mwd ships) he easily tanked all the randomly spread damage of the early melee. It was only when I pointed out that if we killed anyone else first the remaining pilots wouldn't have the dps to kill him that VoV and I brought him down. He got 20m and saved his ship by forfeiting when he ran out of cap charges. In war news, Pangell killed some more miners despite their stabs and cloaks (they're getting desperate now!). They sent a brutix to go stop him and the brutix futilely warped around local for a while trying to jump him before he took pity and attacked the brutix. With it scrammed and nosed with an ab burning round at a tight 500m orbit with stasis + autos tearing down drones it didn't stand a chance. Unfortunately they sent a cane to go save it and alas the glorious rifter went down. | ||

From what I've read in this thread my assumptions were largely incorrect, I think I'll have to look into a trial account at the very least Definitely, if you come into the channel SCBW or ask here, someone will be willing to shout you a 21 day trial and mentor you/cover costs. | ||

Do you have another link to that merlin video, the one in that thread you linked too is 404ing for me. Edit: Believe I found it, this it? http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/sanjar/TheLordoftheTits.mkv Yes that's the correct one, the guy in it is called sanjar and used to be in white noise. I think he has made another videos or 2 before the merlin one but I haven't seen them. | ||

This just in: caldari ships are terrible at pvp. While not participating on the kill, hearing the ventrilo chatter was so awesome. Btw: they had another mach in structure but it jumped out. | ||

The Hatchery is going to start flying with Aquila Inc in the coming days. Join them in a couple of null sec ops help each other out see were things go from there. Fatyn sounds like a great guy and they look like they have some great pilots... and tgun. Hopefully my corp mates step it up and bring it. I think it's time to start getting out there and show people what we can do. I hyped our frigate pilots cus I believe they are pretty good so show them what you can do. Let's blob it up! | ||

I was in a harb and Zombeh was in a rifter and we was having a mexican standoff at emol gate in eifer with a myrm. When he engaged his friends (another myrm and a t3 cruiser) jumped in. Killed one myrm and the t3 cruiser was 50% into armor when he deagressed and jumped . Gateguns kill stuff fast.Also tracking disruptors are not fun. | ||
