How goes it in Eve land?

...hit 'regroup' on your FC's fleet hud and all your guys will orbit you at 2500.

When did that go in? Did I just miss it when I was playing? Would have made things a hell of a lot easier on fleet management. :P

Makes flying multiple ships so much easier to handle You don't even need a FC to use this feature, on your fleet boss just right click on the empty FC slot and choose regroup.

Yeah I mustve missed that one as well Ugh.

Will have to try and take advantage of it this time.

Off to the Eve forums to try and find a corp to join.

Redbeard, if you hit the corp tab ingame and go to recruitment you can search for corps that are recruiting based on timezone, casual/hardcore, what you want to do, etc. I'm sure people still post corp recruitment on the forums too though.

That is exactly how I control my ratters. In order to use regroup you must be in a fleet, wing, or squad leader posistion. If you are in this position then in the uper left corner of your fleet window you will see.3 horizontal lines stacked together ( there small) right click this and regroup. Everyone in your squad, wing, fleet depending on your leadership posistion will approach you and orbit at 2500. Hopping for a shortcut (horney) for this feature.

I am pretty busy with work, I just took a new position within my same company, and I also have a 3 month old baby so I am taking things pretty slow. Hoping to get things better setup over the thanksgiving holiday.

Right now I have 2 tengus, a drake, a vulture and a raven. Looks like last time i was playing I cashed out my mining operation, so I am planning on setting up a mining operation first, getting my video feeds etc going again and getting back into the swing of the game. Then I will look to L4s again, which is where the real money is.

Is jetcan mining dead? My main (who has like 72m SP) is actually a maxed orca pilot but ive never flown one... I just looked up prices and they're like 600m ISK so thats going to be a bit before I can swing that.

Jetcan mining is pretty dead with the huge ore holds barges have now (retriever and macks). If anything the problem remains the roids popping too quick everywhere but nullsec. Barges just dump directly from their hold to the orca and the orca pilot moves the ore around and runs it back to the station when full.

How does that work? do they drag it to the orca's hold?

[Morganti]

If you're within 1500 of the Orca (I think) and in his fleet you can right click on the orca and get access to his corp hangar. Dump it there and the Orca pilot can then move it to the ore hold/ship hold/whatever corp hangar.

[Steel Dragon]

2500km from ship same as cans. Miner filled ore hold (should be parked, approaching, or orbiting orca authentic 2.5k) right click orca and open corp hanger. With the combined inventory it opens.new.tabs or you can drag it.out to have 2 windows one for miner hold other from orca. Then drag and drop from miner to orca. Orca pilot then moves it from corp hanger to ore hold or.cargo bay Untell full then when corp hanger files warped off to unload. Warp back have miners reapproach (if squad leader for boosting simple use the regroup function and miners will get into unload range) then rings and repeated.
