I miss EVE. 2010 to 2015 was when I played. It was excellent.

You were pretty much there for its peak, then. Those were the good days. I don't know that I would be up for the time commitment these days, but I still miss those times now and then.

Pretty, that ship is a monster in the right hands.

How do you fit it for WH life?

[-] llamapocalypse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I've got it rigged up so I can swap between 2 fits - a fleet fit with remote reps and a 1600mm plate, and a solo roaming fit that's 100mn active rep. I also have an expanded probe fit that is kind of hilarious for hunting/suspect baiting in HS (and you can do something similar with the Draugur too)

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Nice, Ive only flown that ship a few times, it feels much to similar to the Orthrus after it was released. Space Lambo that only really shines after you throw money at its fit.

Something too nice to drive for serious business, perfect for messing around in safe space with the nerd herd.

oh yeah it's not hard to hit 1B in the Draugur by just going "well, it could be a liiiiiitle faster with this upgrade, and then it could be tankier, an extra few km on the warp disruptor would be nice..."

I never liked flying expensive ships. Trained logi V but even those felt a bit rich, T1 cruisers is about the most expensive I liked to fly. But each time I go back to the game there are vast periods of nothing to do. No fleets running, there is one later but I am going to bed by then so another uneventful day.

Not a fan of solo PvP, remote shield reps dont do much there anyway. Tried Albion too as it's got similarities, but again time between action felt fairly high or pointless blobfests.

A lot of the Navy cruisers are great for the price - the Omen Navy, Osprey Navy, and Scythe Fleet are all solid kiting ships that you can fit well for ~100m isk, and you can do a solid kiting Vagabond or Muninn or Deimos for sub-300m (my RLML muninn is like 180m, fantastic antitackle). And there's always assfrigs or interceptors for 40-50m

I was really into Spreadsheets in Space years ago. How’s EVE these days?

[-] llamapocalypse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'm a relatively new player (started late 2023) but I'm having a blast, they're introducing new content pretty regularly (the Odysseus exploration command ship is really fun, and I'm actually the #1 loser of them in the game right now lol) and there's still a slow trickle of new players joining.

This game looks cool but is it better than elite damgerous? I don't have time for either anyway, haha

Besides being expansive "space themed" MMOs. The two games are wildly different.

Elite Dangerous is more "fly your ship in first-person"

Eve online is more "click click tactics"

TMI:

I played Elite more than EVE. So I'm biased in I liked Elite better. But it was just too big it felt empty. I think what finally killed Elite Dangerous for me was trying to make the trip Sol to Sagittarius A (galactic center). Was a challenge, but on the way back my game crashed right as I entered a neutron star system and I got pulled into the cone.

I was so pissed, I just haven't touched it since. Still pisses me off recalling it. Spending weeks of my life jumping from system to system, gathering so much data to only to get screwed by something like that.
