Originally posted by HYPERI0N don't brag about your skills if you had only played if for a few months you had help from your corp how to fit the ship.. and you had practice... no one would go against a bigger ship without knowing a few things.. and yeah that was your only purpose to jam him.. but if he had proper tanking he could hold any tech 1 cruiser 1 vs 1 ... but since you had your gank party I guess it was not a problem and if he had lousy tanking I doubt you could take him out but if as the OP is trying to say is that if it's a veteran he 1. knows how to fit his ship 2. he knows how to use his fitting 3. he has experience
I've killed a bunch of silly guys in a BS no problem even with a frig... I mean some people in BS is not competent to drive it even if they are able... those incident is not so frequently now tho but it used to be lots of funny guys without a clue about tanking going to low sec and die..

Originally posted by jakojako I thought only mission runners went to low sec. The good stuff is in 0.0. You claim to be a pvper yet all you talk about is low sec. No one goes to lowsec because there is nothing in lowsec. The good rare ores, fat rats, and great exploration sites is in 0.0 pvpers go to 0.0 for some fun skirmishes. The pirates go to low sec to kill people on their way to 0.0 or Cosmos regions You really failed to point out the real issues the vets complain about like the nerfs, blobs, and lags from blobs |

Eve is a game where player skills and know-how make a much bigger contribution to how good you perform than SPs. Give the OP 10M SPs and a ship of his choice, and a 5-year old vet in a 700K SP alt, have them go head to head, and I'd put my money on the alt to at least stalemate. |

Originally posted by funnylumpy A few questions.
1. Where did i say the corp helped me set up my ship? 2. I knew what he was flying and what mods he used so why would i need help? 3. Where did i say this was NOT my first solo PvP attempt? And funally i never said i had a gank squad i just decided to invite some friends over to have some fun with ower old 'Friend'. I could have taken him as he was in armour and i had plenty of ammo at the time [his ship had virtually no tank as it was fitted for a warp in and gank engagement].
So yea not a great tank for me to break but then again it was my first PvP, i wanted to be farly sure for my first solo attempt once i proved to myself i could beat him i invited some friends over to finish him off. In the end tho it was a lot of fun for us all and we didnt see him again for a couple of months either. And the reason i shared this story was that i was about 9 months old at the time he was over 18 months old. He was an experienced Ganker i was not experienced in PvP at all exept in the Theory of PvP [i.e. what to fit against certain setups how to aproach someone etc]. I shared this storry because. A. it was my first PvP battle and i was proud of how i won [superior intelegence as i knew EXACTLY how he fitted his ship and equiped myself apropriatly]. B. He had more SP than me and more PvP experience. Another great example of Moore's Law.

Originally posted by HYPERI0N Your story is a big hole in itself only yourself would believe that you figured things out by your own then had your corp jump in.. so yeah in a way you told me that you had help from your corp to make the rig.

Originally posted by Lordmonkus When you qoute people and you posted fair enough with colour text partially but you changed and you have some white which seems like it was qouted from me you should put it underneath the qoutebox. omg you're truly senil aren't you? I mean I haven't cried about sucking in pvp only that the game sucks as a pvp game. but then again think you would need some reading lessons yourself. As for transversal velocity has little or nothing to say unless you are flying either towards or away from enemy. As for orbiting I guess it's your strategy since you're talking about it really. I recon according to you enemy will always see your rear when you flee from the battle to lessen the damage taken or a avoid dying. What I was pointing out was the fact that no matter how you position yourself will not make people mis even if you double click crazy as you do I've tried that as well it is pointless and draws focus away. As well s any obstacles in the way won't stop your weapons. The amount of damage you save from doing this kinda is not going to save your arse unless you're one vs one and thus pointless. So I recon you don't fight bigger battles or are the 1st one out running away. I believe an ass when I see one...

There, I fixed your horrible spelling. I left the big grammar fuck ups just to show how stupid you truly are. I even used 2 colours for you. Orange for your spelling and grammar fuck ups and yellow for my responses to your bullshit. When you call someone a moron you better make sure you aren't retarded yourself. Edit: I hope I formatted the 'qoute' to your awesome standards. |

To all the people out there who claim that EVE fails is due to "n00bs can never catch up" I have something to say:
Get Over It
Yes, you will never catch up. Ever.
No matter how much you think that you should have the option to quit your job, get a divorce and sell your children into slavery to afford to buy a three month subscription, a catheter and a steady supply of Cheetos and Mountain Dew and then grind away 23/7 for the levels and the epic widgets and gizmos, just so you can feel you can now stand proudly with the "ubers" who started playing long before you.
You will never have all the elite stuff, the stuff that auto-"pwns" everyone who doesn't have it.
-There is no elite stuff. There's a lot of good stuff. There's perhaps a lot of stuff that “pwns” in one situation, works ok for a bunch of other situations and is totally inappropriate and useless in a host of situations.
You will never reach the highest level.
-There are no levels, just skillpoints. And the amount of skillpoints is largely irrelevant as everything in EVE is situational and in every situation only a small fraction of any given players skillpoints comes into play and the more total skillpoints that player has, the smaller that situational fraction will be
You will never participate in the End Game.
-There is no End Game.
You will never win EVE.
-There is no winning in EVE. However, there is losing in EVE, a whole heapload of it. At best you will learn to survive EVE and to thrive in the aspects of it you choose to learn and maybe master to a degree.
That's what makes EVE different from many other online games. Not better, necessarily. Just different. It is a niche game. It's not for everyone.
Accept that and embrace it. Or move on. |

Originally posted by funnylumpy Aparently you have no idea how Pvp works in Eve but I will spell it out for you... JAMMING is what the Blackbird is very, very good at. Within 2 months a new player can make a very good jamming blackbird, I know because I train them how, and I can assure you that they were 100% noobs. So this 2 month old blackbird has ECM jammers on and runs into a Mega with a T2 fit, points, webs and jams this mega, well guess what? That Mega can't lock a single thing to attack so the BB can take his time killing the BS. Tada! 2 month old blackbird pilot just pwnd a 5 year vet in a very expensive Battleship.
PS: "2nd who would use a BS tech 1? they're outdated years ago" What bullshit is this? the tech 2 BS are role fitted and to very small roles. Do you even know what the tech 2 BS do? yeah didnt think so. |

Originally posted by funnylumpyYou obviously have a limited understanding of how PvP works if i jam someone with several ECM modules and jam his warp drive i can take my time killing him as there is little that can save him [apart from nearby friends saving him or me running out of ammo].
I wont argue with you anymore as i can see your just baiting me now. Another great example of Moore's Law. Give people access to that much space (developers and users alike) and they'll find uses for it that you can never imagine. "640K ought to be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates 1981 |

Lol, poor Lumpy. Proven wrong on everything he has said so far. The only things he has gotten right so far are some ship names and that's it. It's almost as if for the 4 years he claims to have played all he did was sit in a station and forum trolled reading up on the game but never actually putting any of it into practice. That would explain why the shit he says is sorta almost kinda close to being something resembling right but in the end being so off base it's ridiculous. |

Originally posted by x_rast_xIt's unfortunate that 80% of you are too fat-headed to agree with my statement. This game doesn't rely at ALL on player skill.. All the player has to do is target someone, click orbit, and control offense/defense until one of the two people die. You guys KNOW that whoever has the most SP and has been playing for the most amount of time will most likely always win fights, but for some odd reason you cannot throw in your pride and just show (through some kind of post) that you agree with me. I guess it's some kind of conformity thing, or you're too scared to agree with me in the chance that some others might bash you.
Finally: Trust me, a 10M SP person will always kill someone with 8M SP or less... |

Originally posted by Lordmonkus I'm going to assume you're directing that message to me. Now I don't normally make assumptions, as they're for idiots, but I will assume that you are talking to me through analysis of your post. I will respond of course, on the defensive, as you have seemed to choose the offensive (or troll) position. |

Originally posted by jakojakoOk, seriously now you must be truly retarded. To make these kinds of statements is beyond normal human thought. You come off as the most arrogant twat ever and if that weren't bad enough you aren't even close to being correct. Arrogance can almost be tolerated if the person is right but when they are wrong in every way then you just plain suck. 10m SPs vs 8mil SPs doesn't mean anything in Eve. This isn't a level based game. Those skillpoints need to be in the right places for the situation at hand to have any real meaning. What if the 10mil SP player has 9 mil of those is manufacturing and the 8mil guy has 7mil in gunnery ? What if the 10mil SP player has them all in drones and is flying a drone ship such as a Vexor as an example and the 8mil SP player is smart enough to take out those drones first and fast ? Does the 10mil SP player still automatically win like you say we should trust you will happen ? You and Lumpy should be tired of being proved wrong by now. But I guess we're all to fat headed to agree with you when we know that you are wrong. |

Originally posted by LordmonkusYou know what's beyond MY personal comprehension? The INABILITY to view another's thought as important as my own, and to blatantly shoot it down without any respect what so ever to the person talking. Now, I understand that your comprehension is far below mine, but please understand that other's views on matters are just as important as yours and if you cannot understand that, you are another waste of brain-cells. So please, before you make yourself look more "retarded" by bashing people with absolutely no regard for what they're trying to get across, get out of this thread. |

Originally posted by jakojako yes, do you know why? because those 3 year old players are artificially capped at level 80 and cant progress any further. how on earth that is a better solution to you, i do not know. i know i prefer to play a game where my advancement will never be halted just to make it easy on new players. about the rest of your post. really, you just proved what most EVE players love about the game: only smart people will succeed. i have 2 characters, one has 55 million sp, the other has 28 million. if they were to fight, the 28 million would win almost every time. the younger char has specialized strictly on T2 cruisers and battlecruisers, and is a fearsome sleipnir/vagabond fighter. the older char is a great miner, industrialist, inventor, trader and corp manager, but cant fly any combat ship bigger than a destroyer. but that is not all. yes, there is more. EVE is the only game where 5 one-month old players will easily beat a single 5 year old player. but do not go away yet. yes, there is even more. even a veteran character, pvp trained, can be caught unprepared on a vulnerable ship and get beaten by a much younger player on a well fitted ship. and you know the best part? you will completely ignore this whole post cause its just unrefutable, and will continue to post your stupid nonsense garbling, and, and yes, this is the best part, you will remain away of this great game and refrain us from your presence. oh god, how i love the internets |

I understand what you are trying to get across. If it were correct then I would give it some regard but since everything you have said is completely false then I will not give it any respect and I will prove you wrong every time. So now instead of bashing pointlessly and spewing arrogance why don't you take some time to try and prove what I have said wrong and prove yourself right other than just saying 'trust me'. |
