I haven't looked at an EVE spreadsheet in years, its really not the game anymore, if it ever was. If you don't want to have a cluttered UI you don't need one.

I'm not particularly interested in transversal etc, because its not that helpful for me.

If you are thinking about fits for ships, a bit of googling will turn up dozens that you can tailor to your needs.

The only thing that's even vaguely spreadsheet related is the market place. and even then its just an easy way to arrange things.
Yeah i know, i just got disheartened that any corporation i joined was like a second job, where i actaully wanted to just enjoy carving out a wee niche on my own and chill out, but it became griefer central wherever i was, i wanted to stay in >0.5 space so i dont get battered, BUT then the rewards are tiny.

However i rage quite when trying to get to my group station a couple of years ago i simply couldnt get there as i died countless times just trying to warp there through all the hyper lanes, which was probably an over reaction.

However maybe making a new character and starting from scratch may be more fun, as i first started in 2005, but my character never really progressed. Real life after Uni got in the way.

Well after re-subbing (£3 pm discount woo!) i find my main char, while decently specced, has fk all basic skills trained, due to the non existant tutorial back in 2005, so i need to go back to school and learn basics.

Good man!

Check out the Dark-Rising public channel and if you like us, drop me a message in game (Jen Shi'ko) and come join! It would be good to get a few more PHers in. The lot in there at the moment only talk about MX5s...

You do wonder the point of making these things just now, as they are all raid magnets for folk to blow them up.

As with all things they are defensible but 3 man corps shouldn't put them up unless they're prepared to hire Mercs for defensive work as the Astrahus' DPS won't be enough to dissuade a focused group with minimal Logi support

Very true, some corps seem to treat them like stations, whilst not taking into account that they are really not very defensible.

I suspect that in a few months, we will see them only being deployed by larger corps or in areas where they are really needed and can pay for themselves very quickly.

Our corp of about 8 people there was talk of building one, i laughed...lots.

Its a shiny bauble that is only of use to the larger corps.

Until we have a station in nullsec i dont think we should even be considering such things.

I shall carry on pew pew-ing in highsec for now

I'm a total indie - scared of leaving base until I work out who's who.

I saw Tia Langs in base the other day and wanted to start a convo - nothing happened.

Bit of thread resurrection.

Great fun last night, we took a fleet of marauders and a dreadnought out on a null roam to see what we could blow up, before our inevitable deaths in wonderful sparkly explosions.

Ran smack into Specter Fleet (90% Talos) and we lasted about 15 mins...

Was a bloody funny way to throw away 10bil or so.

I was glad I was just in an Inty! smile

Specter seemed very pleased with themselves, I don't think they realised that us getting blown up was the point. They fought well though!

Whats everyone else up to?

Im still in horde, having loads of fun, both in home protection and the new war we just started a couple of weeks ago. Also started up again on my industry alt producing tech2 and that's going quite well.

Cant wait for the new changes to commandships both the industry ones and the combat ones, on grid links in gonna be good.

Yeah keen for on grid links. The Porpoise looks like its going to be useful, likewise the Orca's drone bonuses!

Been getting into PI as well. Mostly because I am broke. Quite satisfying if very click heavy.

Did some explorer hunting the other night. Someone must have forgotten to tell the explorers because none showed up.

Tempted to go sit on a null gate in an instalocking Thrasher. Just to see if I can catch anything.

Any thoughts on guns for that? 280s?

I did wonder WTF had happened! Images looked good on FB though biggrin

I'm in a bit of a lull as not really taken by the High-sec stuff. Seriously considering heading back to Gall FW for a bit to see if that rekindles some enthusiasm
