Bay 12 Games Forum

I am in favor of the move to the new system you describe.

As for the roam, where will it be? I assume in Ordion's neighboring lowsec systems for now. I cant guarantee I'll show up to the roam itself, but hopefully I can transfer the frigates I have stocked to someone that will be there, so that newbs can use them.

Scriptwolf, you could easily train some basic frigate skills stuff if you want to participate in PvP with the people down in Orduin, since its likely gona be random newb PvP anyways so not worth getting big ships out.

im way past that mate i think i have cruiser skills currently running a hurricane

only thing i am worried about is not haveing the correct skills for weapons, shields, Armour, jammers and other bits and bobs

But... But... I can drive battlecruisers, yet I'll be exclusively using frigates while flying with the bay12 guys

In any case, just don't bring cruisers that you cant easily replace to PvP.

*stuff about missiles*

I agree. I think that the general consensus is that missiles are good for lazy missioners who prefer minimal thinking during mission grinding over maximal efficiency/speed, but are no way near as good for PvP as turrets.

We're running some missions tonight, may do some mining if people are interested in it, but I think the day old players would like a little bit more isk behind them before we jump into a low-sec roam. But there's definite interest, so probably within the next few days, maybe the weekend. I would recommend those who come, run with the assumption whatever ship they take wont be coming back lol, and then if it does, that's a bonus, but if it doesn't, you'll likely have set aside enough money to cover it if that was your main missions ship.

If you guys roam on Saturday or Sunday, I'll probably be able to come along. But maybe not if its on Thursday or Friday.

I was planning to haul as many ultra-cheap frigates as I could carry, exactly because there's no point in investing too much into a random newbie roam. And also because I've been itching to fly a Griffin and ECM the fuck out of everything. I'll probably just bring as many Griffins as I can. I have a fit designed that costs 1.5mill tops, so its so cheap I can just hand out some to anyone who wants to ECM too.

Which reminds me: Whoever is down there, check for me if there are any Griffins for sale (preferably for not more than 500k), so that I only cart the fittings without the whole frigates too.

Aww, I'm based off in Galente space, and have rather bad Amarr relations to boot :/

Maybe I'll fly over there in a few crappy frigates, or just buy some on the spot. I've played for a while but have never participated in PvP, so maybe some lowsec roaming would be a nice change of pace. Or maybe I'll just stick to whatever you people do in highsec, because I dont like being podded and losing implants.

In any case, maybe the Bay12 people should join the old bay12 public chat channel, just so that bay12 around the universe can communicate easily.

EDIT: I believe the chat channel was called Bay12 Eve

To grow silverwoods, did you try using the magic thaumcraft hoe that instantly grows stuff? I think it works on silverwoods.

So, what exactly will the goal be in this game? Will there be a campaign? Will there be a need to capture locations and gather resources to build more robots? Etc...

Or is it just a general-purpose robot-building-and-combat sandbox?

Damn, I should have guessed that a programmer would call 3 AM "evening"
