You have clearly never run a Sanctum before. Needless to say that there is no real shortage of targets in one of them.
The guy above didn't even do it totally right. Full TC and TE...officer style and split your guns 3/3 and you'll pretty much one shot every battleship which are the triggers anyway. Your isk tends to get really high when you kill two battleships every cycle of your guns.\
As for pewpewing with you guys again. San Antonio has become very busy and im working a lot of overtime. I'll play again as soon as I'm not averaging 60 hours a week at work. If I wasn't getting paid like I was I'd be angry.

Yes, of course people fly black ops. They're very good. Not for that price. Stupid uneducated opinion Ok. Here is what's currently wrong with Black ops battleships. 1. Short jump ranges. 2. Small fuel bay 3. Actually worse then a battleship in straight up fights (I know you shouldn't do that with a Black ops). 4. The price tag is currently closer to 800m isk and that makes a pirate battleship a better choice in my opinion. 5. Local chat gives away every single black ops gang. If you want to get a kill you need to have a Recon ship that keeps the point. This means that most people will just get the fuck out the moment a Black Ops gang cynos in. 6. Only retarded ships can use the Black ops jump 7. Got some retarded bonus to speed with cloak 8. T2 ship -> 2 rig slots 9. Enjoy your training time for a really limited ship. I guess this isn't such a big point since you will probably be close to capitals at this time and they also need jump skills. 10. Did I mention that they currently cost ~800m Here is what's good with Black Ops 1. Cool 2. Nice for 0.0 where you can sneak a stealth bomber gang in and bomb the shit out of stuff. 3. Probably a lot more fun to use then the normal "hold 1 jump let's bait them" tactic. ps. Less "U MAD/JELLY?" trolling.
1. Yes, the jump range is pretty short, but you only have to be 1 jump away to make it a surprise.
2. The fuel bay is definitely pretty small.
3. Some Blops fits are quite comparable to their t1 cousins in a straight up fight, and some have bonuses that make them even better in some situations (i.e. the Redeemer's tracking bonus).
4. Last time I checked they were all between 450 and 650 million in Jita. Pirate battleships are an entirely different animal, with entirely different uses, bonuses, sleeping habits, and diets.
5. If you are doing it right, the thing that gives away your black ops gang is the glowing cyno on the ship of the guy who is initially pointing, and the numerous jump flashes of everyone bridging/jumping through. Edit: Also, you may not know this, but Blops can jump/bridge to regular cynos too. Even a Maller can run point for a Blops gang.
6. I wouldn't call Force Recons and Stealth Bombers 'retarded'. When used properly, you can point, web, damp, and dps the shit out of everyone at ranges they can't even lock you. Plus you might be forgetting you can bring covert T3s with you, or just a bunch of other Black Ops.
7. The cloaked speed bonus means that only idiots leave the skill at 4 forever, yeah.
8. Obviously. I fail to see what's wrong with that.
9. I will.
10. Yes, you did mention that prices are higher in your region. Completely unsurprisingly, the only Black Ops that costs more than 600 million in The Forge right now is the Panther.
P.S. I have no idea what you are talking about.

So this Drake was spotted missioning in Oddel. We form up a fleet, get him scanned down, undock and pop right in the middle of the mission structures, but no Drake! I arrive on the scene first since I think I was closest Rifter in range. The cane pops up behind me, and we're disappointed that no one is here. There are a ton of NPC wrecks scattered around, and it looks like he had just finished the mission and warped out.
A few seconds after the cane arrives, this Drake pops in. I'm thinking "wait who was bringing a Drake?" but then I am holding control and spam clicking trying to lock it, because the missioner came back - and right on top of us!
We both point him immediately, and others arrive very shortly afterward to keep him on hold. His pod got away instantly after he popped.
So we're sitting in the mission area, collecting tons of loot from the wrecks he dropped. We have VoV scouting for some other targets, had a WT enter and leave system, and some random Moa running around in belts. Someone said the mission looked like Damsel In Distress (or something like that) lvl 3.
After a bit, the missioner COMES BACK to the mission site in a Hound. It turns out that he had forgotten to destroy a mission structure and retrieve the Damsel. Unfortunately for him, 2 of us (Rifters) were still hanging around the site, and he had to warp out. I was remembering this mission since I had done it in a pve cane at least twice before. I destroyed the structure and collected the Damsel. When I returned to station, I contracted it to him for 20m.

Also in my noobiness I later died to station guns trying to high-five DiracMonopole because I didn't know how GCC and yellow timers were related.

I was flying around out around muttokon, and found nothing to fight. Just some kestrals that kept warping around, some cloaky recons, and finally on the way back, I find this on a gate: http://teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=9392985
I kill him, pod him and scoop the loot, then convo him to fine him for loitering.

No one complains en masse about ever-present cane blobs.

Haha funnily enough my first cane loss in aral was due to brawling a pest after I fell foul of kwark's stupid jargon.

Caught an ANZA wyvern in space (with a few baddons and a carrier or two) but nobody wanted in.

Or mostly because I already have a drake on a white/blank background. I do plan on doing up a rifter, cane, and harb for the Department of Astrogeology or whatever. Or just a rifter, so many choices of layout.

We must scatter the minerals stolen from the asteroids back onto the belts from whence they came. It's the circle of life.

You can't do a Harb. They are bad in this game because they are not drakes.
Nice to see that we agree on the worthlessness of Black ops ships mumble.

So, is everyone on the same server as there is no way to choose a server from the looks of it?

Yes, it is all one "universe" (server) as the trailers and website advertise.

Awesome, that's quite amazing.
Anyway, I should be making a 14 day trial in the next few hours to ask for a 21 trial.

So basically as I understand it from the introduction, the only good races are or Amarr or Minmatar, and out of those Minmatar?
