It's like calling Aroldis Chapman a one trick pony baseball player. Doesn't matter when you pitch 105 mph.
Encouraging players to use something like a dedicated dictor alt with 1mil clone costs on a spare char slot instead of actually playing on their main character because the empty pod costs more than...
Yup, although still basically the same range allowing for one extra range-scripted TC on the Abaddon.
Comparing to pulse Apoc, Tachs (with -20% cap use buff compared to -10% on pulse) with navy...
Still a bitch to fit, but amusingly a new TachApoc w/ multi and a single tracking-script TC has the same tracking, 5% less damage, and better range than a Scorch Abaddon with no TC.
While the navypoc will be great, I feel like it's not that huge of an upgrade over the already great vanilla version. +1 low, maybe another 25k of armor ehp, and some other very tiny stat upgrades. ...
(^^ed: didn't even read your post before, but same idea)
I can't complain, but I feel like clone cost should be tied to implant upradability rather than skillpoints (i.e. you need to upgrade to a...
Fleet pest still looks good for arty armor. It doesn't cost much more than a Maelstrom, and it works about the same with much better ehp, sig radius, mobility & a couple med neuts or whatever. ...
Yup, Hyperion gets significantly more grid/cpu for six guns than the Mega gets for seven. Stupid. Not to mention the Hyp has nearly the same attack BS speed/agility of the Mega, but also gets much...
The base shield HP on it is so stupidly high that it's kinda pointless taking LSEs over dmg-specific hardeners.
The ships with an active rep bonus are not balanced around it anyway. Sleips are already excellent and would probably be way too good switching it for an additional resist bonus. Cyclone is not...
Couldn't you just pod jump yourself between different agents?
I doubt there is going to be much money to make trading this due to oversupply and limited demand except for the Typhoon. I can only see demand for Ravens, Scorps, Pests, Apocs, and Megas going way...
Your problem is probably a dead/clogged main exhaust fan. It should be in the back/left bottom side of this particular laptop: can you hear it whirling loudly while under stress or is it...
I like this new CCP which seems to favor small incremental balance changes rather than nerfing things into oblivion.
Is my math off or will the new Raven have (slightly) better mwd speed than the Drake?
Only caught the last few matches, but nice little tourny.

The automation-apocalypse stuff tends to get overblown. Throughout most of the nineteenth century the world employed over half it's workforce in agriculture alone. Basically we needed half the...
The problem with implementing any kind of socialized wage system (or even heavy socialist-style taxes) is that workers and governments have so little power over modern corporations. Even the...
DNA/RNA therapeutics have come a long way towards promising clinical trials over the past two decades or so. Gene therapy, rna interference, alternative splicing drugs, etc. were all pie-in-the-sky...
Right now fracking is basically only done in the US with only test sites elsewhere, so shale may or may not eventually have a huge impact on world crude oil prices (depends on exploration in other...
Take reports from CEPR with a grain of salt. They are not awful economists (although most economists are awful), but they are an extremely left-leaning political think tank that takes numbers and...
He's certainly not a dictator given his popularity among the poor and his campaign ability: he would have won every election easily even without any voting irregularities or media suppression. I...
I've read some reports about how large areas of the country outside Pyongyang are increasingly becoming completely independent of the central government. The local mafias just take over, put the...
