Week one: sign up for Prismatics and go mining.
Week two: continue mining and rank up Imperial ranking with the Mainani (sp) loop.
Week three: buy Cutter and mine more
Week four: buy everything the internet tells you to, fit prismatics and engineer the lot. Then go PvP.
Week five: complain when people beat you in PvP.
How many fully fitted cutters do we all see in Open that have Master Cmdrs at the helm....they can’t all be alt account griefing accounts, can they?
Not many. Four weeks of grind is a ridiculous barrier of entry that would kill any aspiring will of having some pvp fun for any sane mind.
Really - rule number one? How sad.
Ya know - if words like THIS offend you then do words like this get you off? How about words like this or this?
So darn many snowflakes, grammar 's, etiquette this and that in the world these days. Who makes all these STUPID rules? It's a wonder that some of you people can even get out of bed and leave your houses in the morning to interact with the real world.
The world and the people? Nah. Just a few overbearing nutcases who read things into things people write and the way they write that were never meant to mean what the nutcases think they mean. And then - as usual - the bleating sheep follow their lead.
The written word is not the spoken word and trying to make it so is a loser. Bold emphasizes - it's not shouting - it just highlights to make sure that it is noticed by the reader. Increased size does the same thing as does smaller size.
The written word is not an audio means of communiciation. It is VISUAL! Not audio. GET THAT?
Probably not 'cuz you've already shown yourself to be one of the sheep.
And I'm sure all of this OFFENDS you - so go ahead and report me.
Some never could even before power creep.
Properly built ship. Check.
Practiced before hand. Check.
Thinking things through. Check
Definitely cheating.
Emily Post you might say.
People make the rules so that it is a more pleasant place to experience.
The words underlined aren't particularly offensive of themselves they just draw the attention and make your post harder to read quickly.
The words in italics are also inoffensive but again make your post harder to read.
I didn't initially comment on the words in the small font as I didn't notice them until I was editing this responce.
Your post itself is quite offensive particularly when mocking some peoples as you do in the last sentence.
My question is who keeps turning perfectly innocent words like snowflakes into what in context is presumably an insult, this is much more sad.
As you said in a later post it is a visual medium with little other than the words for us to understand what is meant, the rules of grammar and usage are an attempt to keep things understandable.

Yeah... Big DEAL.
I was using Arpanet in 1970 at Texas A&M University before anyone thought to call it the internet. You know. The system setup in the USA so that in case of nuclear war the military could stay connected to itself. And then universities got wind of it and opted in and before you know it voila, the internet. And yes I am that old. And no we didn't have any stupid rules back then like the sheep blindly follow today.
And I stand by what I said and that you conveniently ignored concerning the written vs the spoken word. The written word is not the same as the spoken word. Spoken communications contains many more cues to what a person is saying and means than the written word can given the same amount of time to communicate. Hell, man. Most spoken communication is done with visual clues provided by facial expressions and body stance and movement (something like 80%).
Thus taking away visual cues from the written word like bold, larger, smaller, color just makes the whole process of communicating via the written word more difficult than it needs to be. Mark Twain said about cursing and the Victorian prohibition on same, "that there are so few really descriptive words in the English language that it's a shame to restrict the use of those that are...", or something to that effect. And the sheep want to prohibit the use of visual cues in the written language because someone lost to history on some BBS back in the 80's or 90's decided it meant the writer was yelling. YEAH. RIGHT.
I won't, cannot deny the culture of the internet that exists today, it is what it is. But I will refuse to follow it's silly rules and always deny it's value and practicality.
And here's another clue for ya. Just because most accept something and follow it blindly doesn't make that something right. 1000 years ago most of the common folk believed the world to be flat. Do you?
Now that post was easy to read.
noob.
The first two "internetworks" I had access to were ARPANET and JANET. Before it all became "the" internet, and the term correctly referred to the underlying tech rather than being effectively synonymous with just one of many protocols, http - which, at the time didn't exist. It was only invented a few years later.
So someone used capital words in a reply to you - is it the end of the world?
For starters, it looks like you assumed (yes you have made an ass out of yourself) that the Commander has English as their first language. Next, you again assumed that the Commander has the same experience and exposure to internet forums and discussions as you have. Lastly, your condescending manner in belittling the Commander just shows a complete lack compassion.
Feel free to highlight any grammatical, spelling errors or Internet Boo-boos I have made

An under-noticed response, and absolutely on the money.
Not suggesting we all go back to stock sidewinders, but this deserves some serious consideration.
For myself I know some people think I'm a bit 'funny'.
My hull tank Krait can take a HUGE amount of punishment.
It runs cold so I'm often toggling Silent Running.
I've got 3 MRPs so I can soak up some module sniping.
The guns are Frags and PAs fully engineered and the PAs have Target Lock Breakers.
And if I can see I'm going to get into some PvP I will synthesise Premium Ammo across the board.
So if you are a mid ranked combat pilot with limited PvP experience, I'm this hollow square that keeps disappearing; you get shots on but my hull doesn't go down like you're expecting, if I get shots on you it hurts way more than you thought, and if we head on ram you will be slammed and I will walk away.
But I aint no haxor.

Yep, I run my Krait with 3 Guardian MRP and plenty of hull. It holds up really well with the shields down. Also run 3 therm vent beams. Against large targets I spend alot of my time with ice on the screen. Against small/med ships not so big an advantage. Against the large, that shines. Stay out from the nose and they tend to not know where you are for a good amount of the time. Engineering vents past LR G3 is not very useful due to jitter. The hammers are there to punish modules when the shields drop.
and perma-boost rocks.
