Not making isk sucks especially when youre in a wh.

We've finally moved into our c6 this week, well except for the capitals havent had a good entrance to deal with that yet, and our total site completion has been 2 sites with only 1 being salvaged.

So two days ago we finally had the assets and man power to put together some site running out static looks clean but we're going to test out on the c6 sites, no other wormholes on scan looks good.

We slam out the first site with no trouble, unfortunately a lot of people took their earnings from living in the c5 and spent them on pirate battleships so we look like a giant loot pinata(in their defense atleast they didnt go crazy on the modules) which is making me a little nervous I'm keeping an eye on dscan because you can fit a lot in a c6 hole.

On the last spawn for our second site coms suddenly erupt turning from normal joking to frantic panic, and our FC is yelling orders to gtfo. Dscan has lit up with hostiles nearly a dozen ships drop on top of us using a cloaker as a warp in point. Lumbering nightmares desperately try to align but its too late several interdictors land and the bubbles go up almost everyone save me and a brutix (i dont know why it was there) are going to be able to escape, I'm not in a bubble and it doesnt matter either way im fit to ignore bubbles in my loki.

Im double lucky to be fit as such because my warp path led me through one =D. The brutix however isnt lucky the spawns have tackled him but luckily no one gets on his awkward killmail.

some 3.5b explodes one by one (2nightmares 2-3 basis and 2 tengus) several pilots get sent on one way free trips to highsec to reship. I'm waiting for the order to reship and fight but most everyone left rage quits for the night in disgust, our killboard is now far beyond the reaches of fail. Atleast we were able to finish salvaging the other site without incident.

Last night was spent reshipping and finding routes for the victims to get back in.

Tonight we only had 4 people willing to do sites (loki,tengu,basi basi). Which is fine we hop over to the c5 and being painfully clearing sites. We arent in any real danger to dying to sleepers its just slow work but isk is isk. We finish up the site and bring in the noctis and our heart sinks to watch dscan explode again before we can even get teh noctis to the site. We get out with no losses this time, but everyone left just logs out in defeat.

It looks like it might be time for me to move on, on the plus side I'm now incharge of recruiting =D.

if you plan on grinding standings, do it now. Standing gains have increased ~3 fold since the patch

I was sitting on station, and saw a sleipnir. However, my overview got fucked up somehow, and wrecks werent on it, so I didnt realize he was missioning. Vov probes him down, but by the time we get there, the mission is done and he is gone. Gunpoint was fleeted up with us, since its a sleipnir and I wasnt sure if rifter, cane, bb would cut it.

At about the same time, Altaen shows up in local, and does his usual bs of sitting on s1. I go agress him. Gateguns are taking me down at about the same rate im killing him (he isnt agressing), since he is keeping distance, so I warp off as we are both around 25% shield.

Vanderie and Evel warp to station in pests, but he isnt there, since I think he followed me. He warps back, and decides to sit around on the undock, deciding if he should pop DefMatrix in his rifter. Suddenly....ARTYPEST ALPHA STRIKE, and he dies.

DefMatrix then acts like a fucking boss rifter, and suicides his ship to get the pod.

So with 2 MAPCs, I can fit a Hookbill that's cap stable with a cruiser AB and scram putting it at almost 2km/s and over 100 DPS w/ overheat on rockets... mind you, if it actually gets hit, it's not all that sturdy, low resists are only around 40 w/ 1160 shield HP... the problem is, it seems like it could be cool, but im sure theres a reason it's a terrible idea... anyone want to enlighten me?

And bear in mind, that's w/ my shitty skills

because... intys get sig reduction on thier mwd. which lets them do this. cept with much better stats.

Unless you're flying a tengu DO NOT fit a x10 AB to a ship, they accelerate at a RETARDEDLY low rate and turn like literally a brick. Also Abom that sucks hard, I was solo in my wormhole in a c3 and was left alone for weeks at a time because noone bothers with nullsec entrance c3s though it was more stress than it was worth, just knowing at any point you lose a HUGE investment because you didnt d-scan =[

I knew there had to be some sort of good reason it wouldn't work. And this is why I ask after something looks like it could be sexy in EFT.

What if I lie and say I'm going to salvage, warp to your mission, and don't drop fleet? Isn't getting blown up by a Hatch type the pre-requisite for entry?

And notice, I did assume that I was retarded and ask, rather than fit it and try to use it. That's worth some credit, right?

Oversized afterburner fits are incredibly bad at cornering. You're gonna be in a frigate duel trying to kite and keep the target within scram range. This is a problem. If your range/point buffer was larger then maybe but it's not, you need the kind of agility that you just won't have.
