Brad is what you Americans call a 'Second Shifter'? No idea what hours that means, but imagine its late :D
1st: 8am - 4pm
2nd: 4pm-12am
3rd: 12am - 8am
Sounds like Brad works graveyards. Got to love those hours.... if you have the day off when you're actually awake, almost nothing is open, and everything on TV is infomercials.
IIRC there IS a "supporttarget" or "autotarget"-function implented, I just can't remember how it was used. At any rate, the best solution for boxing would be using keyclone(I dare say) to sort out the windows and use "focus follows mouse" for quick clientshifts.Quote:

hmm think you will be stuck with jumping while being in a gang?
Not sure Id call 15 bucks per 200 million a steal... but Im just a poor college student living on ramen noodles! If you look at third party sites you can get isk at about half that rate. People like me use the GTC for isk deal to play the game for free. IMO the real people buying tons of cash are buying from third party sellers as its much cheaper that way.Quote:

It is rather slow, but if you can find a good corporation the game play can be very exciting. Just a pita to find a corp that shares the same goals as you.
As for boxing, the main issue with making boxing effective IMO is the lack of any form of assist.
Yeah guys I work nights.
I play from 12:30am – 5am EST. Been on this schedule since… 2003 I believe. And Contents hit the nail on the head, nothing open, and nothing but infomercials. That’s why I turned to MMO’s. Work 4, 10hr days 2pm – 12am.
What’s funny is I haven’t watched TV since 2003, and people think I’m crazy “Did you see this show, this commercial?”. Nope haven’t watched TV in over 5 years! ZOMG
As far as tips and tricks, don’t have any as of late. If it was possible to multicast a mouse with perfect Sync things could be very interesting. But I don’t think something like that exists. Even so I’m not that interested in doing more then 2 in combat. I enjoy a lot of other aspects of the game and like to focus on that with my alts.
This weekend was pretty awesome. I found a rare moon in my travels doing some moon probing. Setup my own POS and I’m now harvesting it, yes this is in 0.0 where I live, so it works out.
Just recently joined this alliance I think on Friday, it really is quite amazing how much the game differs when you have people playing the same times you do and living out in 0.0 space compared to empire. One thing is for certain I’ll never move back to empire.
Some funny stories worth mentioning.
After a pretty successful nights of hunting, we were heading back to our home. This night we decided to hit lowsec empire and hope to grab a mission runner or 2, no loot worth mentioning on this run.
As were heading back I’m the first to jump the gate, there on the other side is a neutral pirate with a bounty in a Battle ship. I think nooooo problem I’ll tackle this dude in my battle cruiser while the other 2 gang members get here. Now I’m a noob when it comes to PVP, I don’t even know all the ships yet (I’m getting there). So my friend jumps and told me to run like hell. But his words came too late.
What did I tackle? A faction fitted Nightmare! My ship melted in about 15secounds. I couldn’t stop laughing; they still make fun of me about it.
Last night I tried stealth bombers for the first time. I was pretty impressed at the volley burst damage on a frigate, I one shot an interceptor in enemy space. I really didn’t expect that kind of damage. In wow terms it was like an epic pyro blast crit on a level 1 gnome.
Don't post much on the forums, been a lurker since June... but I've been an IRC whore since September, most the guys know me pretty well. Wilbur still gives me shit for not posting :(
Anywho, Hippi and Morg got me intriuged with EvE so I installed and snagged me a paid account. Games kick ass thus far.
Playing hours are 7am PST - 12am PST *winter layoff blows*. STill a very newbish character but have 2 accounts one is gunning to be a gas harvester and the other is my Missile Boat.
In game name is Gur Taukenon. Hit me up if ya see me Brad, currently playing with Hippi and Morg when he's on.
All this EVE talk is damaging my WoW multibox inspiration. Feel like activating my account again :D
Have had a char for a long time, maybe 15M sp. I've been activating it once or twice a year just to check up on EVE.
Never got into a proper corp, prolly the reason i don't play it :S
Rofol, a gurblob at a jumpgate! hahahaha, eeugh *cough*, hmm shrugQuote:

You almost get me to activate my other account gurry, would be fun playing wit you retards ;)
You should lossie... I'm 17days away from having my T2 Mining Barge and being a gas harvester and I'm sure I'll be needing some backup :D. My Missile Boat on the other hand should get my Cruiser here today. The Progress is limited which is nice. You can't really power level your toon up to being a bad ass it just takes time... although you can 'twink' him with the best he can handle which is always fun, bearing you've got the ISK.
