CrazyKinux’s EVE Blog Banter #7
Posted by nefchast on May 1, 2009
Here’s the question posed: “What 3 things haven’t you done in EVE and why? Would you be willing to try one day? Why so? Why not?“
1. Solo a level 4 mission. I’ve never been a fan of missioning or large ships — the biggest I want to reach is a Command Ship. (which could solo one, sure) Having gone on a few with corpmates, I found them profitable but boring. I’d rather get my pew pew on with real people so I doubt I’ll try it some day.
2. Hi-sec ganking. I honestly don’t know why I have not tried this, it’s likely that I’ve spent far too much time being the ‘good’ guy in games. I do plan on ganking someone or something in hi-sec one day — it seems like it’d be a good time. (for me)
3. Scamming. Never scammed anyone and I doubt I ever could since I’m a poor liar. I might try one day if I can figure out a good scheme that’s not the usual cheesy contract scams or “I’m leaving EVE and have billions of ISK to give away, send me some and I’ll double/triple it…” that you find in every trade hub.
I’m glad CrazyKinux posed such a question, really got me thinking about what I have and have not accomplished or experienced in EVE. There’s literally dozens of things swirling about in my mind now — I may have to make some plans for the future, provided the time.

Highsec ganking? Scamming? Two things that I wouldn’t stoop to, nor will any of the Ralpha Dogs if I have anything to say about it…
As for L4 missions, I don’t think we can even do them as a group yet. I don’t fly BSs yet, for one thing, and while both Lexx and Selena do, they need more skill training to get the most out of them.

Hmmm, if you can get 3-4 people in BC’s with at least one or two BS’s I think you should be able to handle level 4’s, even with slightly lower skills. Using remote rep’s would help. Just be sure to fit a proper tank according to the mission and enemy type, designate a BS ‘tank’ and warp out as needed. (spawns and what-not) Just watch out for any warp scramming NPCs, as long as they’re gone you shouldn’t have a problem surviving.
And while scamming may be stooping a bit too low, ganking macro’s in high sec is perfectly respectable!
