Recons take a long time to train up for though relative to everything else.

Yeah, I'm not generally the type of person who thinks "OMG I can be INVISIBLE?!?" It was just the only thing I found through looking through the ships that wasn't so cut and dry. I'll look into the recon ships though, sounds like they might be what I'm looking for. Are they at all capable in solo engagements or for level 4 missions for that matter?

A Huginn (actually, I'd say any Force Recon) should be able to solo decently, provided the pilot is not awful (aka me).

I just downloaded the game and if anyone has a 21-day trial at hand I'd be interested in it

If you're copying fits from PL, make sure you're copying fits from one of their better corps like HABIT.

Fwiw, though, there haven't been many examples ofpeople copying PL fleets to good effect. vOv

Hey all, seems I must be posting my own farewell to Eve and TL as well. Echoing revo's own farewell post, the game has lost its luster for me, the time sink is rather large, and most of all real life things have steadily grown in priority to the point where I can no longer ignore nor delay them. I will be proposing to my gf soon and I need to change jobs asap and maybe even my career -- it's time to get serious about real life. And if I had to be perfectly honest with myself, I have a video game addiction that I need to get serious about as well. (There, I said it) Lord knows I've tried quitting games before and have failed countless times, but wish me luck on this one fellas, I'm gonna try my best to not look back.

Thanks for all the good times guys and putting up with my dumb theorycrafting and gay blackbird flying lol. I'm not gonna do personal shoutouts, that's gay, but you guys know who you are -- really been good times, and if we ever meet in real life, drinks on me.

Which corp shouldn't matter since we use standardized fits. Yes individual members put their little spin on it, but believe me, in PL if your fit is substandard it WILL be found and WILL be ridiculed.

If you are looking for more types of gangs to run, T1 cruisers gangs work very well. VERY cheap to fly and they do surprising amounts of damage. For example yesterday was Ganknight for another forum I frequent, we got ~100 thoraxes in gang and we melted an archon in about 1 min. Lots of Thoraxes, Omens, Caracals, and Stabbers/Ruptures can make great gangs. Of course for nullsec you want dictors/hictors.

Drake gangs are pretty FOTM right now, and work, but I would definitely suggest you add some variety to gangs, it isn't good to be known to fly only a certain type of gang every time.

Long time lurker of TL here, was looking at EVE online to satisfy my growing MMO cravings, have played WoW, FFXI,FFXIV,Guild Wars, and pretty much everything inbetween, do you think EVE would be a good one to try out, how helpful is the community with helping newbies out?

EVE is harsh, difficult, and extremely complicated.

EVE is harsh, difficult, and extremely complicated. You will find it is of a very different class than these other games.

The community is alternately helpful, giving bad advice because they don't know better, ignoring you, and taking advantage of your ignorance. I recommend joining a group like EVE University; they have a history of doing an excellent job introducing people to the game.

edit: I recommend joining a channel like Help > Adoptions and asking questions about the game there; you are also free to convo me whenever I'm on and I'll do what I can to answer questions and help out.

The only thing we ask is that you have finished Eve's introductory tutorial and follow-on missions.
