Super Simple Salvage Split Solution

  • If dedicated salvager runs during fleet - they get double share for all missions
  • If dedicated salvager stays after fleet is finished - they get double share for all missions
  • If someone runs missions, and then goes salvaging - they get double share for all missions
  • If no dedicated salvager - bookmarks are donated to shared folder, at least 30 minutes before despawn


Evergreen Skill Plan

EvergreenSkillPlan.PNG

Evergreen Skill Plan is my take on skills that you should train in the beginning. Feel free to modify it according to your taste - I find it a bit better than Pyramid Skill Plan - it covers more or less the same skills, but in different order.


Update: All skill plans are available in "Evergreen Skill Plan" chat channel in game :)


My general recommendation is to train Short Skill Plan, then Root skills. After that select your tank type and main weapon system, put both skill lists into queue, and start training from shortest skills - starting from short skills gives you the most gain in short time, and you'll gradually improve tank/weapon skills. You can also include Support skills list into that if you wish - I trained it after T2 tank. Later you can finish with T2 weapon support skills, and add Drones - for majority of ships at BC+ size drones are useful to have.

What these lists do not include, are skills for specific weapons - train them up to lvl III if you need them, to lvl V + Specialization if you really love them and they will become your main weapons. Don't be afraid to test different weapons systems - you might find that you prefer one over another. I also did not include ship skills - train them when you feel like flying different ships :)


Bottom line: If you need some skills to fly a new ship - train them and have fun, don't let this plan limit what you can do!



Root skills are almost the same as pyramid base - these skills are universally useful, I highly recommend training them first. I know that CPU/PG Management V are long trains, but this really opens up your fitting possibilities.

T2 Tank skills - you don't need to train both types of tanks in the beginning. If you focus mainly on one type of tank, feel free to ignore the second one, and train it later. T2 tank skills are very useful - I recommend having them trained when you start flying in BCs.

T2 Shield

T1 Weapon systems - again, at first you do not have to train everything. If you choose one weapon system you like the most, train support skills for that system first. For Launchers and Turrets you also need to add specific skills - I have not included them here, since that depends a lot on your preference and play style.

T2 Wepons support skills - if you have found your favourite weapon system, train specific weapon skill to V, and then specialization - you will be able to use T2 variant of such weapon. Additionally, finish training support skill to lvl V. Below skill list do not contain every support skill - train to V if you wish :)

Rigs and Compensations skills get their own category. Most of them are not useful - for example EX shield amplifiers are almost not used, so it doesn't make sense to train them. If you use rigs from specific category (for example Shield rigs) - train these. The same with Compensation skills - if you use specific module (for example EM shield resistance amplifier is quite common) train only specific skill.

Rigs

Is that plan good? I don't really know. I find split for 2 different tank types and T1/T2 split of weapon systems to be eaiser to manage than pyramid. It's not complete - it does not include every skill (byt the time you are at that point, you should have good feeling what to train) and does not have EWAR/Tackle/Logi skills - by design, as I find their inclusion in basic skill plan for new players to be mistake. These skills are important - but I've seen new players training EWAR, because it's in the pyramid, before training any weapon skills - which is a mistake. If you want to specialize in these roles - Pyramid Skill Plan is your friend.

Lazy Gila

Cheap and easy to fly - for a L4 runner. Manages to run all L4s without big issues - some of them require manual flying, but nothing really bad should happen. Important to note - webs are super dangerous, as it relies heavily on speed tanking.

NOTES
  • Cap stability with AB on is crucial
  • Good Drone skills will improve completion times, but are not strictly necessary.


A bit of breakdown:

High slots: RLMLs - I use T2s, but you can load Arbalests if you don't have skills. On Gila missiles are used only to get frigates down - they have very low DPS compared to drones, so it's not super important. Link Augmentor I, as II will push CPU to dangerous areas.


Med slots: All dedicated to tank. Large Shield Extender IIs would be enough, but Caldari version uses less CPU, which helps. AB chosen to be cap stable - you can use any type, but cap stability is very important - you need to move fast all the time, otherwise you will have a bad day.


Low slots: All DPS. I considered briefly Federation variant, but that's bling for not much gain - in the end I skipped it. Take it if you want it.


Rigs: Unfortunately set of Purgers II is required to tank all L4s. Rather expensive, but take them, do not downgrade to Is


Drones: Sets of T2s - I prefer Vespas over all other types, as they have decent DPS, Kinetic is 'good enough' for missions, and Vespas are shield tanked - they survive almost anything.


Cargo: Same story - Kinetic is good enough, and carrying 4 types of missiles is cumbersome. Or I'm too lazy for it :P I usually use normal missiles or Furies, auto-targeting might be useful when damped/jammed - that rarely happens.


Other Notes: Fit is over CPU - I need EE-603 for it. If you want to avoid having implant, then Arbalests are required. Fit is perfectly fine with Navy Drones, and you can even Meta-down shield modules - but I would recommend taking Damage Control II in low slot. Overall if tank is not compromised, you will be fine in all missions - maybe slower with such changes. I tested all L4s with shield skills on IV - so max skills are not needed by any means.

That's a completely different beast. Active tank, to get 2 utility med slots, Heavy Missiles for more DPS, and bling all over the place, to make it fit on CPU. It also assumes you have at least Med-grade Hydra set (and High-grade being better) to fix application of missiles and drones and heavy missile hardwirings. It can spit out 916 DPS with Hammerheads and Fury missiles, has adequate tank and looks great in black SKIN. Costs 6 Billions together with implants, so be careful :P I do not recommend that ship, unless you obey rule 0 (Fly what you can afford to lose), and losing 2B ship and 4B pod is not a big deal for you.

For cheaper option (probably more reasonable too) swap Heavy Missiles to RLMLs - then you can take 3x DDA II in low slots, Drone Link Augmentor II in high slot, and replace sensor booster with Omni Tracking link - that way Hydras are not needed, and it uses up 99.37% of available CPU, which works ok. Also take T2 drones, not Augs. That lowers the price to 750-ish M, and DPS to 760.


Land Speeder

Big, bad and ugly. This Machariel chews through rats, flies fast and is super fun to play. Probably overtanked, a bit blingy, requires EE-605. It's my second most used ship after Gila, but requires your attention - no coffee breaks during missions :)

Ploy

Stupidly tanked Praxis, for running Epic Arcs. It can run all of them, doesn't require perfect skills (Shield skills at IV) and is designed to survive every mission in Epic Arcs. Some (Studio 1) are tricky, but all of them are doable solo. Tested here.

Future plans

Cerberus - almost made, but lacking skills. Due to last changes without MWD, but with 100MN AB - should be fun when I finally build it.

Nighthawk - in plans, as a booster for mission fleets, and as a test 'How absurdly can you passive tank' - against Serpentis it has more than 1k EHP/s :D

Q-Click-Click

What's that?

Q-Click-Click, officially called 'using Approach hotkey' is superior way of manual piloting. It allows to manually go to any point in space, without moving your camera. This allows to move around grid with ease, while having good view of space around you.

How you do that?

As name suggest, you hold 'Q' (default keybind for 'Approach') and click twice.

1. Hold Q

Holding Q


2. First click determines your 'direction' and distance you want to travel, then you can select 'elevation' of your path. Notice how diameter of circle (distance) doesn't change.

First Click


3. Second click determines confirms destination and your ships starts to move

Second Click


4. Keep in mind - target point distance is set by first click - if you reach it, your ship will stop

Ship stopping


5. Useful for aligning down the gates

Approaching


6. If you hold Q and doubleclick on any object, you will start direct approach to that object

Aligning


It requires getting used to - but is really great when it comes to manual piloting :)


Quick OBS setup guide

What's OBS?

It's a freeware software for screen capture - has many useful features, but I'll cover here simple setup to grab your screen :)


Steps

1. Go to https://obsproject.com/ and download OBS for your OS

2. Install it

3. Launch OBS - you will see that screen: (you can re-launch it via Tool -> Auto configuration wizard)

P0kde8T.png


4. Select "Optimize just for recording"

6Lvex4i.png


5. On next screen, select which resolution OSB should use. "Use Current" selects current screen settings, dropdown lists other options (other screens or resolutions)

FLqb1cL.png


6. Last screen will show summary, should look like that. Click Apply settings.

rAGK1PC.png


7. IMPORTANT STEP - in mixer (middle bottom) mute your Mic/Aux - otherwise OBS will also capture your mic input. You can mute (or not) Desktop Audio - that's your audio output - it will contain game sounds, but also voice of others from mumble, so if you're in comms, mute that also

YHBWZXt.png


8. In sources window (bottom) click "+" icon

ZoMRf9A.png


9. In expanded list, select "Display Capture"

QVx8J57.png


10. Click OK in next two dialogs

piLPr1m.png

jAzSqkM.png


11. Go to Settings -> Output and select output directory

ypQfsdn.png

vZY1IDK.png


12. Done. When you press "Start Recording" it will record your screen, until you press stop :) Be careful though, as it will also record other things on your screen, like your desktop. Setting it up the so it won't is left as excercise to the reader :)


SoE Blitz

The Challenge

SoE Epic Arc can be blitzed. Pretty impressive times can be reached, using Interceptors/T3Ds/other advanced ships. The Challenge which I wanted to accomplish is to speedrun SoE Epic Arc counting from Character Generation - you start up new Alpha toon, and your only objective is to finish that Epic Arc. You can set up whatever you need in advance, but all missions have to be done solo. Can you beat me?


Stats

1. 6h 51m First run - completely without preparation, including some Jita shipping - 6h 51m. That includes shipping time, figuring out skills, fumbling with corp invite, all that stuff. Super un-optimized, it was just a test run to check how fast you can get enough skills to beat Dagan.

2. 3h 57m Second run - timed from start of character creation to entering biomassing queue. I bothed the skills a bit, and probably I could squeeze our couple minutes from that time, but I consided 4h to be reasonable for blitz :)

Strats

1. Ship choice To run that arc fast, I need two ships. One fast ship, and one tough ship. For fast ship, I opted for Merlin - fresh toons have gunnery skills already trained, so I can use small hybrids right away. It's fitted and rigged for warp speed, as due to low skills I cannot make it sub3s. Also Expanded Cargohold is needed, due to one mission requiring moving 150m3 of materials.

For tough ship I chose Gnosis. I do not need any skills to fly it, and craptastic RLML fit had barely enough DPS to kill Dagan. In fact I'm using 2 different fits - one for Arnon (where I need AB and better tank for Dagan) and one for 4 (!) other Gnosises, located around SoE mission areas (Harerget, Hatakani, Hek, Lisudeh) - that saves on travel time with Gnosis. Each one is parked and waiting for me while I travel in Merlin

2. Skills Missile Launcher II Light Missiles I Light Drones I Social I Social II

Aaaand that's all. You do not have time to train anything else, and that plan assumes 2.500 SP from skilling spree.

Trade

You can't run SoE Arc on your Alpha alt to boost standings of your main, since you can't log on with 2 Alpha accounts. But you can trade with me :) How it works: 1. You run SoE on fresh alpha (be reasonable, train it for few days), and you finish it while my toon is in fleet - that way I get standings boost. Then you can scrap that alt. 2. In return, I do the same - I finish Arc with toon chosen by you in fleet with me. We both get standings boost on our main accounts, while using Alpha accounts to help each other. I have SoE solved - I need one evening to run it for you, so whenever you are ready to trade - DM me on Discord :)

Tinker Tank

Q: Why is it called 'tinker'?
Alecks Kautsuo: I have no idea

Tinker tank, idea that shouldn't work, but works. You use local tank (Armor/Shield Reps) or Remote Reps but instead of capacitor mods, you sacrifice High Slots for Cap transfers and you slap in some Egress Port Maximizer rigs to make it 'over-unity' efficient. Scary effective :D

  • 5 cap transfers + X-Large Guristas Booster. It's CAP STABLE!!! Awesome :D Unfortunately you don't get any high slots, all sacrificed for cap. Fit can be used for multiboxing AFK mission fleets, as that was it's original purpose.

  • Domi with Remote Reps. You need more than one to get cap stable, but when you get it - it's awesome. Similar to Praxis in a way, and probably a bit better.


No L4 Sec, what do?

Huh?

If you really, really want to grind standings, and Corporation you want has no L4 Security agents, what's the best way to do it?

L4 Mining Missions

L4 Mining Missions

Oh Bob, they are painful. I was running them in tanky Retriever, so not really the most efficient mining ship (but I'm not a miner), and here's what I found out:

  • Ivestment required - 60M or so
  • Missions max 1 jump away
  • Relatively safe - no issues with rats, one failed gank attempt (got away with 3% hull or something like that)
  • Missions give 1.6% or 2.6% Corp Standings, but take between 40 to 80 minutes (AAARGH)
  • In total 20 missions were needed from 0.0 to 5.0 (with Social V and Connections IV)
  • Total time - around 5-6 normalized evenings of play :)

L4 Distro Missions

L4 Distros

That was my second approach (and the Corp in question had no other L4 agents anyway). Swapped ship to Badger with Cloak trick ready and WCS in low slot. I juggled Expanded Cargo and IStabs depending on mission.

  • Investment - 10M
  • Missions between 2 to 8 jumps away (3-4 being most common, YMMV)
  • I had to visit LowSec, (let's say 15% of missions), so ship losses were calculated
  • All L4 Distros give 1% (+/- 0.1) Corp standings, no matter distance and Security of target system. Missions took me between 7 to 15 minutes, depending on route.
  • Total of 51 missions were required. Ufff, that's a lot.
  • From 0 standings to 5.0 it took me 2-3 evenings from start to finish. Comparable to L4 Security, maybe tad slower.

L3 Security Missions

L3 Security

Surprising. L3 Security have almost the same standing rewards as L4s, but with correct ship (think of L4 capable ship with improved application) you can run them super fast - several of them are doable in 5-10 minutes.

  • Investment - L4 ship, fix application
  • Missions couple of jumps away
  • Safe, keep in mind that speedtanking is worse and more webs/neuts than in L4s
  • Rewards between 0.3% and 3.5%, averaging roughly 2%
  • I've run 32 missions to get 5.0
  • I would say 2 evenings. But you need more missions than L4s, so higher chance of missions against factions

But what about L4s?

L4 Security

For completenes, stas about L4 Security:

  • Investment - L4 ship
  • Couple of jumps, except few missions
  • Safe as L4s :D
  • Standings gains between 0.6% for Recon 3 up to 5.7% for Worlds and Angel Vaganza, average about 3%
  • You will need about 20 missions
  • 2 to 3 evenings, depending on missions
