I got to ask tools what is your setup? I've been looking to upgrade to go back to my 30+ accounts and want to enjoy these times again :D

Not very tech savy despite eve and isboxer, I am looking at somethint 3000$ at most.

Mate, I think I just came in my pants. Do you have a hi-rez version of that?

as for system, I run 13 accounts in windowed mode with low graphics on 10 of them and normal high graphics on 3 of them. I run boxer on my 2 logi/nestors and the rest are just stacked (see ToS's) setup.
I run:
i5-2500k at 4.5ghz (60c with a coolermaster 212)
32gb 1866 Gskill (they had a deal, i've never maxed out ram)
GTX9704gbDDR5 x2 SLI
Asrock extreme4 gen3 z68
1 250gb Samsung 850 (plus assorted HDDs)
1000TS EVGA power supply

Right now the bottleneck is the CPU but it's working fine for me so i'll probably just wait till the FPS games I play need more CPU juice.
I'll probably end up picking up an i7-3930 if i ever want to run more than 15 accounts at once, but I've never had issues with framerate with the current system. The biggest hassle is actually logging in. the loggin screen where you click on the one of 3 toons on the account is the highest resource intensive part of the process, (I do LOVE the new beta launcher tho that allows you to select the toons you want to play and it automatically logs them in.) but it's still annoying that you can't move the window names around in the task bar. so if you have a particular order you like to play with ie: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 and say 5 disconnects, when you log it back in, it is now 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,5.... I hate that...

I managed to get some recordings of the primary screen done tonight. Here's what I consider my highlight of the night a 6 minute 17 second OTA tick. I had some delay at the start and at the end because shadowplay's hotkeys don't work when an eve window is the focus.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVykdNib6g4

I'm averaging about 7 minutes pre tick. NCOs and NMCs are both sitting a little over 7 minutes on average. It's almost faster to do NCOs now for my current setup. The ability to split dps on that last wave and actually hit stuff is really handy.

Ran last night purely with the 2 gecko 3 hob IIs and 5 ogres.

The 2 gecko 3 hob IIs outperformed the 2geck 2 hammerhead 1 hobgoblin setup by a good amount. That caused the gap between the gecko setup and the ogre setup to widen. The hammerheads dying off really hurt overall damage.

The gecko/hob setup did 21% more damage than the 5 t2 ogres overall last night. That's a pretty substantial difference in overall damage done. I'm going to swap the ogres for some augmented ogres and see what the difference is then.

EDIT : Augmented ogres are around 6% behind gecko/hob on damage done for the night. For auga/deltole/romi the geckos weren't as far ahead. The few NCOs I ran caused some of the spread as the ogres couldn't apply dps anywhere near as effectively as the geckos.

I'm sticking to gecko/hob because they are more effective in NCOs, receive less aggro, and handles the aggro better.

His fleet doctrine consists of 2 Basis, a Vindi DDD, a Bhaalgorn DDD, and then a bunch of these. That fleet comp can get some impressive site times thanks to the ranged webs of the Bhaalgorn (+100% range bonus to webs at V not counting links) when used with the sentries, and the powerful "Sit down and shut up" webs of the Vindicator (90% "stop moving" factor per Fed web at V) for the heavies.

It's much more click-intensive than, say, my AutoRaven concept (next post), or a certain German's Barghest setup, but the DPS difference may make some people head for it over the others.

Hello, i havent run incursions for a while, i have been living solo in a wh with my alts, and while its not as profitable, its a lot of fun, i have actually got some awesome footage of some fights i had while multiboxing :P

However im considering going back to in incursions for a while, when i did it i was with 6 sentry domis, 1 ongrid eos wich was the ddd and a nestor, the domis would put each 1 medium rep on the nestor, altough not optimal i have to admit it was fun. Atm i am quite limited in the setups i can use due to not having enough alts trained.

I have however some questions with the setups you guys posted, for example, if you are using a vindi why use a second bhaal? Am i missing anything? Because i think it could be better to just use a loki, unless you want the extra dps?
What is the state of auto-targeting missiles right now? I dont have my pc to test them now, but i heard from some people that they were still quite bugged.

Happy christmas and HF with the incursions :D

People run 2 DDDs in case one gets jammed. I must be the only idiot on the server where my Huginn never takes primary from Niarjas. Also, some people split their sentries in half and assist 1/2 to one DDD and the other half to the other DDD. It can increase site times drastically, but I've never done it myself. If Solace is still up, that'd be a good place to try it out, especially with Nestor logi to use their drones as well.

Autos aren't quite as bugged as they used to be. Just make sure you got Friendly Fire turned off before you take 'em out.

I m almost done training up a new patch of alts for my Rattlesnake setup. I m actually very happy you posted the above, so I can compare my fits. I m still playing around with them a bit.

My current setup is gona be: 1 x DDD Vindicator (3 webs, 2 paints), 8 x Rattlesnakes with Fed Garde, 2 x Nestor with some Drone DPS and 1 x OGB Astarte.

The Rattlesnakes chars are fairly new, so everything is very low skill and T1 stuff. I plan to use Auto-target Cruise Missile, so I can switch to normal cruise missile to snipe some rats that are far off. But maybe rapid lights are a better choice afterall. We will see. I also like the Bhal idea.

This setup is skilling towards Golems with Auto Target Missile.
---
I ran some site with my old setup: 8 x Nightmares, 2 x Nestor, 1 x OGB Astarte, and it was VERY click intensive. Eventually I started to find some tactics to take the work load off a bit, but its still requires an almost 100 percent focus. Basically I made two groups, the first 4 Nightmares would kill the small stuff, while the other 4 would concentrate on bigger rats. This gives you more time to focus on the small rats.

I would love to hear more about tactics on targeting/killing the rats efficiently with gun setups. Not sure though, if there are any pilots here, who have the expirience.

Barghests were a "Proof of Concept" idea. I was going to run my Ravens and/or the Barghests during the Solace test server event but RL decided that it was having none of that.

As I mentioned on my other post, I ran just recently a few sites with a Nightmare setup: 8 x Nightmares, 2 X Nestor, 1 x Astarte, 1 x Venture

1600

Befor the nerf I ran 10 x Nightmares and only 1 x Nestor, but I prefered having the second Nestor as safety, since I can't kill the damage rats fast enough. But I think in time, with a good setup, kill strategy and muscle memory it could work.
Anyway, so, its certantly ALOT of clicking. At the begining I didnt had a kill strategy at all and tried to lock everything with all Nightmares, but that doesnt work, its to slow, to many clicks.

In the end, I settled on this tactic:

Split the nightmares into 2 groups. Group A concentrates on all the small rats, with prioritys on Niarjas and Tamas, while Group B shoots the big rats like Augas and Romis. Since Group B has longer to kill stuff, it gives you more time with Group A to lock and kill the smaller rats.

-

Example with 8 Nightmares: Group A = 4 Nightmares, Group B = 4 Nightmares

After warp in, Group A locks and activates guns on the Niarja, and locks additional 2 or 3 Tamas. Then with Group B lock and activate guns on one Auga/Romi. At this time, Group A has killed the Niarja, so activate the guns again and start locking for more Tamas (like 3-4). While Group A is still locking all those small rats (and you activating the guns every 3 second), lock the rest of the big rats with Group B (they probably still shooting the Romi, if its an Auga, its probably dead allready). Thats it, now concentrate on Group A while monitoring Group B occasionally.
When there are only a few rats left, depending whats on the field, Group A ether helps with killing the big rats or Group B starts locking the small rats that Group A hasnt locked yet.

Make sure targets dont overlap from Group to Group, only exception is when killing the big rats (moar DPS!!!)

Oh, I almost forgot, each Group has 2 webs and 2 Paints. Its not ideal, best would be Groups a 5, with 3 webs and 2 paints I guess. Or something like that.

-

There is probably alot of room for improvements, but it cuts the clicking in half with 2 dedicated Groups. Other Ideas I had are: having special fits for each group, or having a dedicated webber/painter (i.e. Vindicator) - thats all. I just ran like 20 sites or so with the Nightmares. Now its all Rattlesnakes baby!!! .... its soooo relaxing compared to it ;)

I hope this helps or gives you some idea. Cheers and have fun!!!!

Befor I did my setup, I went and read the EULA, to really know whats allowed and what not.

As for the Nightmare setup, just to avoid missunderstandings, when I said group, I meant an imagenary group, not an action target group. So Group A locking 3 Tamas is still 12 clicks total. One action per char. The one thing it makes it a bit faster, are the videofx close together.

When I do setups, my rules are:

- Nothing overlays the eve game window (i.e. clickthrus, videofx).

- The dxnothing window doesnt overlap the eve window. The eve game window resolution is: 1340x1040, while the dxnothing starts at 1340 with a resolution of 580x1040.

- One action per click and char - this is a no brainer, but I mention it anyway.

- No obvious character names. I had to train up a hole new character set for just this reason. All my paladin chars are useless now, but I rather be more stealthy and not easiely recognized in local chat. I also try to run in empty systems and at times when most ppl are asleep. This one is really annoying, I dont want to hide, because it might suggest that I do something forbidden. But I do it for the reason, that I try to not get reported from ppl who are angry at multiboxers.

Somethiing I would like your guys opinon on, do you guys think its worth it to have a little text in the bio section of the chars with a disclaimer.

thedevilyouknow
01-08-2016, 07:18 AM
Mike I'd like to add, in case this isn't blatantly obvious (benefit of hindsight) that round robin goes against one action one click policy, because without the benefit of hindsight a few people, myself included, made a boo boo.

There was some talk regarding VFX being "legal" (pause) as long as it does not over lap the EVE UI. If i used my setup with ISBoxer, I would also include VFX on a DX screen, however my setup does not strictly require it, it simply makes the window management bearable.

Bare boned, my upcoming turret setup will be made of either a eve o-preview with the display screens used as "next in line" screen switch buttons next to the overview so after locking and pressing F keys, i can click the next screen to swap to the next character and redo the same.
Eve O saves the screen location and the preview screen locations so i dont have to move stuff around every login.
ISBoxer setup would probably include a VFX-DX screen next to the overview so i can either lock targets without alt tabbing, or just as visual aid and set a button to tab to next client in order to target and fire.

Mike as for your characters, I am so pained that i made my several of my character names with a name scheme, I made these characters in around a month or 2 before the changes were to be announced, petitioned to change names for the sake of avoiding cyber bullying (idk prosecution or some shit) the incursion runners did not like me. What can you do.

I had little disclaimers inside the bio back then, they did not listen and hated on me anyways simply for the fact i was running that many characters, but could be worth a shot.

My petition asking for my first strike to be rescinded failed too.....oh well there is always wow if my fleet gets me banned

In contrast I'm loud and proud about being a boxer. I don't really have much in the way of issues with people being hateful these days. I'm pretty sure I've been reported quite a few times since Jan 1st. I do sometimes get contested by people who want to see my setup in action.

All my character's names are unrelated and fairly unique. Years ago I almost went with a funny naming scheme and I'm really glad I didn't. As long as I don't speak up about being a boxer people rarely notice. Despite the fact that you can clearly see all the names in my videos.

when i lived in a wormhole (solo) for a couple of months, i would always announce to the people i would have a fight with that i was a boxer and i asked them, because of that, to not overkill on numbers/ship types, and surprisingly most of the times people would do just that and give me the same respect they would give to any other group of people.

A few things...

@Mike
Your setup is amazing. I love the VG fleet for being able to use the watchlist on your logistics pilots. It certainly is less clicking than watching HUDs and broadcasting, then locking people up. For the 20 man Incursions I'm not sure what the optimal setup would be; you're limited by the drone assignment hard cap, so there's definitely pressure to use Geckos. Unfortunately, a lot of the rats will orbit at 70k.

@All
I'm almost certain I was banned because I was moving too fast for their liking. All of my characters were one-up named, so I was reported all the time. I read or listened to a podcast that the GMs weren't/don't even look at the logs. They just inspect what you're doing. I may be wrong, but... Shrug. In any case, I wouldn't do the round-robin missile activation again if I were to start over.

Tool of Society
01-09-2016, 06:10 PM
Yeah the naming system you used certainly played a role in the amount of reports sent in about you. I imagine that alone was enough to annoy the GMs. The posting of your video in the official thread is probably what sealed the deal. THe mouse thing combined with the effective usage of click through.

I'm still running this setup basically. The key difference is that my nestors are down to 5 reps now so I have the same number of reps per nestor in Sansha incursions as I do when I'm doing Drifter incursions.

http://i.imgur.com/UVweoDg.jpg

My goal is to avoid annoying the GMs basically.


I've started the process of figuring out how I want my drifter incursion setup to look. The prior setup I've been using on the test server is highly inefficient compared to my sansha incursion setup.

@thedevilyouknow
Yeah your right with the round robin thing. Also it really sucks with the character names, all that skill time, its a shame. On the other hand, if you have free slots, training up new chars can be done in 20 days.
I used my old setup with all the same-name chars to make some isk, to then use that for the new chars. If you just do it for one or two sessions, it shouldnt draw any attention.
I m sorry to hear about your petition. Stay tenacious would be my 2 centst. But then again, I dont have mutch expirience with CCP and petitions.

@mosg
Thanks man, I had a great teacher! You taught me everything I know. I'm still copying parts of your setup ;) I really miss the old times, but its good to see you're still around!

@ToS
I still think your setup is the safest way to go, in terms of risk with grey areas. So for ppl feeling unsure, start with a smilar setup and let time tell whats allowed and/or tolerated.

My current Rattlesnake setup does 10-8min ticks at the moment, not surprising considering the low skill level. Here is a screenshot of my new setup:

http://i.imgur.com/ySi2uan.jpg

What I love the most about multiboxing, is making the setups and optimizing it. Without dxnothing, videoFX and clickbars to complicate things ;), I would loose interest very fast. So without ISBoxer, I woulndt have started up again.

one of the reasons i dont use isboxer is for fear of being banned because i would activate stuff too fast and ccp would think im using broadcasting, wich is a shame because i loved playing with and optimizing dxnothing :s

What I love the most about multiboxing, is making the setups and optimizing it. Without dxnothing, videoFX and clickbars to complicate things ;), I would loose interest very fast. So without ISBoxer, I woulndt have started up again.Yeah that is at least half the enjoyment I get out of playing eve these days. The challenge of getting stuff setup, optimized and adapted is fun.

I had my credit card company rescind the last charges for my 20 accounts when I got suspended, as they waited to suspend me until 1 day after I payed for them. So, obviously, they banned all the accounts.

I would consider coming back, but I was running 20-man incursions and I'm not sure how effectively you could do that using the watch list instead of broadcast locking for reps. Does anyone have ideas for this? Is the watch list 10 or 15 or more now?

I'm positive that just using a DxNothing window for VFX with absolutely no broadcasting would be the easiest setup and would be completely safe.

SOME THINGS TO NOTE:
You need to "prime" your autos, i.e. deal damage or receive damage (or ewar) with something on your ship (hence the civi blaster) before the missiles will work.
BOOSTS. You need em. Most important: The cycle time.

Anyone have any idea how much the DPS fluctuates between the incursion vanguard sites across the waves assuming you don't shoot them at all? (Full spawn)

First wave of NCO, NMC and OTA can be tanked with around 2000DPS tank according to EFT, probably less as i tested this on SISI on 0 influence.
Anyone know whether the DPS from the waves increases across the waves?

I know the spawns have random numbers but within a rough guess? Anyone, Plz halp

I do know the highest DPS from an NCO comes when that Sansha Nation Commander spawns. He's basically an Elite Tama.

Haven't done an NMC in ages. Someone else can talk about that.

I run almost every site with 1-3 reps. The only time I need to use more reps is when I am late at repping or the influence is +40%. It seems that the NPCs "overheat" if their target gets below a certain point as incoming dps will dramatically rise (you can see it on the eve combat log parser).

Much thanks ToS, i'm convinced the paladin will work now

I just took a browse through the last 6 months of running to see what kind of incoming dps I saw. I saw up to around 1k post resist incoming dps. Now the issue with figuring out the raw incoming dps is that I run a tank that is biased to em/therm/kin with no regard for exp. I also target and kill the sansha commander as a primary and the tamas as secondary after Niarjas. I also run the evasive maneuvers link to shrink sig size to further reduce the damage from kin/exp torps. So the vast majority of the incoming damage is from the laser em/therm NPCs.

So I'd gather that raw dps wise I'm taking about 1700 or so while actively popping stuff. I start popping NPCs from the get go with the NM helped by the primary ddd till I get drones assigned (the primary DDD is ready to start killing tamas with just two domis assigned).

So I'm guessing worse case scenario would be about 3k raw DPS assuming you don't kill anything and have similar resist/sig as my setup.

At the moment my issue is that the only tank testing i have done is all within the first room (just chucked a vargur in there and gradually lowered the tank to see the low end number without killing anything)

Now obviously as i pop npcs off field the dps lowers, but i just wanted to know how much of a "retarded moment" safety net i would have before it all goes horribly wrong :3

It can get a bit hectic when you first start running a fleet. Before things become muscle memory your reactions will be much slower. Two cruisers could be problematic in such a scenario.

When I started with the incursion stuff, I had help from expirienced multiboxer incursion runners. They spoke of a safe tank of 3500dps when planning fleets/fits/doctrines. Thats a very safe number, but safe is safe.

Now, for my fleet (8 Rattlesnakes, 2 Nestors, 1 Vindi, 1 Astarte) its the same like ToS, I mostly use 3 reppers from a single nestor, sometimes I need to put 4-5 on if I m late.

What I would advise, is start your marauders with a strong tank, learn the kill order and get used to the sites, and then graduatly refitt to more damage and less tank. This gives u plenty tank to make mistakes and you can look forward to up the damage when you start feeling the itch for more dps. (The itch usually happens when u start getting comfortable with the site and the killing isnt fast enough anymore ;) )

My 2 cents

I dont have numbers in front of me right now, but i dont think its possible to make profit with sp farming.
(2700x24x30=1944000) or 1.94m/sp per month at max speed. (+5 implants and full remaps)
So you get nearly 4 extractors each month, at about 300m profit per extractor you are getting 1.2b each month. I think the prices will change when people realise this however.

However, even if you cant make profit from this you can always extract everything you made and sell it (for example in your incursion chars), wich is a big help with the current plex costs and can help you makr a lot more isk per month


I also personally dont see the need in creating a new post, i like this actually, makes it easier imo

thedevilyouknow
02-12-2016, 07:40 PM
Oh i see where that's going.

Even when the extractors get to a price where you may not make a profit by selling the excess sp your toons generate (assuming you're happy with their skills trained) you can just sell the excess under the idea that "Penny saved in a penny earned" which yeah would be a big help with plex costs.

I injected a few sp into several of my toons, no complaints really, the diminishing returns sucks but it makes sense, maybe they should have added an isk cost to extracting and injecting as a isk sink but vov what do i know

And that is why, in my opinion, the price of injectors will drop, since people will realise that instead of paying 1.2b for monthly plex they can just pay 200-300 million

You can tinker around with it but the ideas behind my stuff are as follows.


When theorizing new fleet metas the things I checklist for is:

1) Can it escape through conventional means or a method?
I've come across even using MJD deployables in a group, holding D, and activating the already anchored structure. Sometimes bubble immune t3's

2) Can it effectively* run the site or objective?
I like to hit token numbers like 1000 applicable dps, solo tank to minimize clicking*, or flat out drone swarm lazy mode.
*Effective between multiple figures Ingame and Out of. Can I ____ in one hour from log in to closing client, or should I invest in a better mouse.
*The less clicks the better even if it means pumping 2000 dps vindis on a cap spawn or bomber fleet in a RG, your sanity is worth more than a pretty penny.

3) Will I lose more if I die right now or can I gain it back slower and cheaper?
Sometimes its better to go with the known cheaper method of VNI's than lose your pimplsnakes.

4) How much of a splash am I making?
Will I get an army (https://zkillboard.com/kill/45728166/) to show up to end me and my cause?

If I stagger the mids just right, I can cycle off a frig every 4 seconds. That means that in an OTA I can pick off all the Tamas and Niarjas before the Deltole and Augas get in range, and in NCOs I can snag all the Tamas and Schmaels. Fed Webs over TS because of the 60% web power. 75km with boosts and no heat, which is fairly sexy. 94km overheated, though you'll rarely need that.
I went LSE + Invuln over Double Invuln because of the Deltole, and it seems to be working well.

Hello guys, ao i have resubbed my alts to do some incursions with my domi fleet, and im wondering if anyone has ever considered trying machs for incursions. I know the nightmare has been the choice for boxing since ever, but the mach, from what i see/know may bring more advantages for boxing... (more dps, tank, drones, warp speed, etc...). The only downsides i can find on the mach are the lack of utility mids for webs and the big use of ammo. But anyways, i just wanted to try to find out the reason behind the nightmare vs machariel thing.

This is autocannons machariels btw

Because you burn up so much ammo it's absolutely silly. Ammo that you have to pay for and move around. Ammo that you have to check every time you intend to head out to grind VGs. With only two gyros you'll go through about 133 rounds per mach per minute of firing. You can see how this quickly scales into a ridiculous amount of ammo if you want to run for hours. Then there's the lack of tracking bonuses...


In contrast I leave my guys floating in space so I can log in at any time run some vgs and then log out. Can't do that as well with machs as you'll have to dock for ammo.

I ran some VGs yesterday with some of my gank alts. 7 VNI and 3 basi with shield PVP fits. I ended up using one of the VNIs as a DDD cause clicking on each client was getting annoying (used a t2 web instead of point). Booster alt wasn't using an implant but was in a claymore.

Was good for about 15-20 minute ticks with 10 on grid with t2 hammerheads. I was just practicing for PVP encounters so it wasn't setup for site times(basically reversed kill order leaving niarjas and deltole for last). Got some good practice in AND made like 300m an hour lol. I did lose one VNI because I completely underestimated the damage (first site first agro). My domi fleet makes it a snoozefest in comparison.

With a proper armor tank and only two logi I could imagine <10 minute ticks would be pretty easy.

Gilas cost more and aren't as effective now due to a loss of a low slot. VNIs are my low cost alternative and I use a claymore to boost so basically the same concept.

I've technically been boxing pvp but it's been very small time stuff. I'm just trying to move up to bigger things. I also haven't actually done logi in a pvp fight in ages so I wanted to get warmed up :P

Probably not what you're looking for, but 100mn Huginn or Rapier is hilarious as a DDD because you can't really get caught. I haven't looked but you can probably stuff 100mn ABs onto a VNI.

On topic of isk grinding, fastest way I think post-ban is Self-Tanking Rattlers with Geckos. I've tweaked the German's fit (https://o.smium.org/loadout/private/70932/1653288871082852352) and found that CCCs give better cap Regen and cap stability than the Safeguard rigs he had on, and you lower your sig a bit because no penalty from the shield rigs.

Also, AAR of Assaults with USTZ / ISN Secondary:

I managed to help get their Assaults rolling with my sentry snakes and Rapier. The first night I could only squeeze in 4+1 because they cross-recruited from ISN, but the second night I got 7+1 going for a while. I mentioned I'd be willing to buy a squad of Tachmares or Machs for HQs if we ever get em going, and they were fairly receptive to that idea.

I haven't personally, but here's what the German said (with proper English translations):

No triggers. You manually assign each gecko to separate frigates, and they will kill them.
The travel time is greatly reduced thanks to the faction Drone Nav Comp. With a Fed Navy DNC, the Gecko moves at 3km/s, which is plenty.

After a few months away from Eve I resubbed the other day.


Updated my desktop to windows 10 and started playing around with AHK to assign each virtual desktop with its own focus hotkey (to bring it into focus, clarify)
After playing around with a few accounts I gave up on using AHK, not because it wasn't possible, I got it to work rather well, but because just using Win+Crtl+Desktop# worked well enough.

Funnily enough after playing around with my setup I do a quick google search to see if I can't streamline my setup any further, came across this reddit post on the topic of multiboxing with Windows 10 virtual desktops.

Finding this a lot easier to use than Eve-O preview which I have not touched since last year.

However I seem to have missed several changes to game mechanics...like what is up with carriers and the supposed nerf to afk ratting?
Anyone care to explain / share what they've been up to?

Basically, fighters don't auto-aggro rats anymore and carriers can't use heavies / sentries anymore. Also there's NPC dreads and titans that will spawn and shoot you from time to time.

Just finished up a couple hours running vanguards, not too bad, had a holy shit moment when (because of shitty leadership skills and the way i arranged my squads) i warped 2 ships off to a completely different site, luckily, somehow, the aggro of the entire room switched to the drones and i managed to squad warp the 2 ships out....so that was fun...then regrouped them with the other ships that were already in another site taking damage without a drone bunny...

Lost 1 ship in the session, a venture that i left in the OTA too long and got killed by frigs, decided not to run a hacker because currently i can volley off frigates and the cruisers don't take that much longer, the battleship on the other hand...

Site completion times started at around 8 minutes, cut them down to about 6, not factoring in warp time or time between sites pulling in the drones and such.

I used my ore dropper if I had to scout ahead and I never bothered salvaging. I made it a point to try to go to incursion spawns with the fewest communities (preferably no community focus). So most of the time I would be the only one in system so scouting was pointless. Salvaging is worth a few million per site but not worth the extra effort for me.

If I was scouting I would always make sure to have the next spot scouted before the last wave was done on my current site.

I highly doubt you would get banned for macro usage if you're running somewhat like I was. Peligro and the other GMs are very aware of my setup and how I was running.


I lost a nestor once due to having my fleet split up into two squads. I was teaching some newbros how to run so I had to split my fleet some and the only one with wing commander as a skill was one of my nestor pilots and at that point it was tough to run without boosts on him (wing commander spot didn't receive FC boosts). So I had my fleet split up into two groups and I accidentally warped the nestor pilot (who had only the ore dropper in squad with him) to the wrong site and entered without double checking my watchlist. I was really tired and that was going to be the last site so I kind of rushed it. Ever since that loss I would double check watchlist every time before taking the gate. That was my only nestor loss over years of using them.

I solved that problem by training my ore dropper into wing commander so I could use her to warp both fleets if I needed. Generally I ran the booster in FC ore dropper in WC and the rest in one squad. I usually used the squad leader to warp around.

I only started hacking OTAs as I was looking to push my ticks down under 6 minutes and at that point I was shaving every second off I could find. I did manage to push some OTAs in under 6 minutes tick to tick but they weren't often as it required a great deal of concentration and some luck.

Even my gank alt/vni/gila fleet characters had six t2 logi capable and a full t2 booster. Have they removed off grid boosting or gotten anywhere with that? If so then it probably isn't worth the time to go full t2 booster too while training the alts.

I never bothered buying tags because the gank alts themselves could directly boost their sec status by running VG sites with whoever didn't have KRs at the time (2 basi rest VNI). Unfortunately I cannot comment on using them in C5s as they have changed the sites some since I quit playing. I can say that controlling 3 snakes is a lot easier :P

Ice is pretty awful isk per hour and takes a surprisingly amount of interaction when doing it en mass. Taking 2-3 characters out to do level 4s took about as much effort as running all 12 in an ice field and the level 4s made more isk per hour (especially if you have competition for ice).

To be frank, you aren't going to make a lot of ISK with low SP, or with low capital to work with. The quickest way is to obviously pull out the credit card and buy plex. As for activities that are isk printing, you've got SP farms, rorq mining, super ratting, level 5s, multiboxing mining/incursions, etc. If you're nerdy enough to play the market game then you can probably make isk there too.
