My posts’ published timezone is GMT, the original and best timezone.

Anonymous asked: How do I survive a BS w/ logi support WH eviction, they ninja'ed a POS onto our sys already... By survive, I meant run away to HS w/o dying horribly, welp? There's 3 combat pilots (in our corp) vs 15+ during the 1st POS bash into reinforcement... so fighting face on is out.

You could pay an outrageous fee to a mercenary corp to come and help, but that assumes you can find an entrance for them, which seems like the part you are most struggling with.

If the very basic instinct is survival, I recommend: getting in a scanning boat with a cov-ops cloak, get out of your tower to a safe spot, and hide. Scan for wormholes when the system looks safe, or go off-line and wait a few hours or days for the right opportunity. Keep a handful of disparate safe spots ready, and take it one system at a time. Guide others out with you as necessary, keeping them cloaked or off-line in safe spots and using out-of-game comms to coordinate safe system transits.

If you mean getting your tower out too, you’re probably a bit late for that. I’m guessing your invaders will be back as soon as the tower comes out of reinforced, so off-lining what you can, throwing it in an Orca, and trying to hide is out of the question.

Either way, get back to HS, rebuild your wallets, and you’ll be back in w-space as soon as you find another empty system. That last bit’s the hard part.

Anonymous asked: So, whats the downside to a scanning tengu with ECM for a tank? Thanks for your ideas.

ECM isn’t guaranteed, unlike a regular tank. Although not getting shot is, of course, better than absorbing hits, a missed jamming cycle and thin tank could be more trouble than having a good idea of how hard your opponent is hitting from the start.

ECM also works on one target per module too, and is racially important. Fit a module against Caldari ships and meet a Loki and you won’t fare so well. A regular tank will work well against all, and although multiple ships will wear down a regular tank more quickly, as least the damage will scale linearly.

It may be worth trying, but you could find that you rarely have the right kind of ECM fitted, or that you don’t get a jam when you really need it.

Anonymous asked: Hello! Here is my bit of asking: Are you accepting new recruits in your corporation? :)

I think so. I don’t really deal with people, unless there’s shooting involved.

Join ‘Basket’, our public channel, and see if you can find a recruiter amongst all the spies.

Anonymous asked: Why?

Because I just may answer your question.

Anonymous asked: Please accept my apology. My weirdo stalker question wasn't intended in that fashion. You have stated "Ask me anything", therefore I did. Will you accept my apology?

Sure thing. Also, ‘ask me anything’ isn’t synonymous with ‘I’ll answer anything’.

Anonymous asked: Are you married?

That’s a weirdo stalker question if ever I heard one.

Anonymous asked: There is no such thing as God. Is there? On a totally different subject, do you ever fit the scanning sub system to your Tengu and use it for scanning?

It really depends on what you’re asking. In both cases.

I would deny the existence of God, but not that there is such a thing as God. The concept of God exists, can be communicated, and allows for reasoning based on such existence, independent of whether there exists a God.

As for the Tengu, as CCP, in their infinite wisdom, don’t allow the switching of subsystems outside of being docked in a station, no, I don’t fit the sub to my Tengu to use it for scanning. However, I have used a second Tengu for scanning. In fact, as I had the Tengu trained first I used it to scan first. The Loki came later.

To make up for the casual pedantry, have the fit for my scanning Tengu.

There must be a billion EVE Online shops! I can’t do anything if you stay anonymous.

Anonymous asked: Dear Abby. Yesterday a Orca collapsing a D382 got stuck in the hole. The pilot asked in local for the price of an exit. I led him to a highsec K162 and charged him nothing (he gave me 50M isk out of gratitude anyway). Am I a bad person?

You could have got yourself a sweet Orca kill with little effort. Or extracted a few hundred million ISK in exchange for an exit. Or got the few hundred ISK and a sweet Orca kill.

As it turned out, you decided to gave a hand to a capsuleer in need. I think you are the type of person you want to be right now.
