I'd expand that a little and same that lowsec is more dangerous than 0.0 in general...mainly because the bottomfeeding version of pirates tend to die quite a bit in corpspace.

Edit: So, what's everyone's plans for when the servers are up and stable in a few days time? Me, I'm buying & outfitting a Harbinger.

From what I've read, winning a 2v1 is almost impossible no matter how much of a tech/fitting/SP advantage you have over your opponents, one just perma-jams you so you can't do anything while the other kills you.

You can hardly survive a proper setup gate camp, but you can always easily avoid getting into one.

You can counter ECM and you can mess with other ship parts. A 1 vs 4 is possible to win if you have the right setup. I won versus 4 ravens before with my nosadomi and it wasn't even particularly hard.
I have also lost versus a single one before=)

A lot comes down to fitting and what you expect your opponent to use for mods.

Winning 1 vs 1to4 is not to uncommon. Experience and fitting sp and all the other stuff play in to much. Not to mention strategy!

Do all amarr ships have bonuses for lasers or are there some that get bonuses for hybrid turrets or missles? I am a Caldari Civire with Amarr frigate V and I was wondering if there is a ship that would be best for me...that is an amarr frig.

There's some, like the Heretic interdictor, but they're all half lasers/half rockets.

holydevil · 11-28-2006, 07:51 AM

Any frigs like that or is a intradictor a frig?

Larion · 11-28-2006, 07:52 AM

Interdictor is basically the tech2 version of an upgraded frig (destroyer)

There's also the, um...I've forgotten the name. T1 Amarr frig that looks like a sleeker Tormentor (aka flying golden croissant) and has three launcher slots. That'd be pretty useful at first if you're just trying to feel your way.

Interdictors get to use high-slot scramblers tho =)

3 more hours....

Would anyone mind explaining the new "Contracts" system? I've read the official patch notes on them, but it doesn't make an ounce of sense.

Downtime has been extended?

Tolanin · 11-28-2006, 04:33 PM

i think meant that in 3 hours the 24 hour downtime will be over and the servers should be back.

Lookin forward to the new stuff tonight, i played with my new ships on test all day... ishkur is still my first and last love tho.

Not holding my breath on them being back up in a couple hours here. Hell, you cannot even patch the client yet. Usually that is a precursor to things coming back online.,

From what I understand, the contracts system is replacing escrow.

Yeah, and even if they come back up on schedule I'd say it's pretty likely that they'll be back down not long afterwards.
