      I’ve got it rigged up so I can swap between 2 fits - a fleet fit with remote reps and a 1600mm plate, and a solo roaming fit that’s 100mn active rep. I also have an expanded probe fit that is kind of hilarious for hunting/suspect baiting in HS (and you can do something similar with the Draugur too)

        Nice, Ive only flown that ship a few times, it feels much to similar to the Orthrus after it was released. Space Lambo that only really shines after you throw money at its fit.

        Something too nice to drive for serious business, perfect for messing around in safe space with the nerd herd.

          oh yeah it’s not hard to hit 1B in the Draugur by just going “well, it could be a liiiiiitle faster with this upgrade, and then it could be tankier, an extra few km on the warp disruptor would be nice…”

            I never liked flying expensive ships. Trained logi V but even those felt a bit rich, T1 cruisers is about the most expensive I liked to fly. But each time I go back to the game there are vast periods of nothing to do. No fleets running, there is one later but I am going to bed by then so another uneventful day.

            Not a fan of solo PvP, remote shield reps dont do much there anyway. Tried Albion too as it’s got similarities, but again time between action felt fairly high or pointless blobfests.

              I feel this in my space bones. Been in space since 2013 and can functionally do everything, burnt out in 0.0 about 6 years ago, but keep my sub up and occasionally do the solo roam when I fancy shitting in the space chereeos of my old targets.

              Gave albion more than a fair shake and will return every few months, I enjoy the routine of the player housing there and the new FW is a nice change of pace.

              EvE still holds a special place for me, but I really disconnected when I left reddit. The shitposting and memes of the subreddit really was the pulse of that game for me, I only wish the fediverse could have such activity, it really kept me connected

    I would be hooked to EVE if it was half its current price, heck I would probably run two accounts.

    For me its just mad that WOW sub is 12 and eve sub is 20. One is the most played MMO ever and the other is a niche space mmo.

    One has active users in the multiple millions range and other in tens of thousands.

    I only have 600 hous in EVE.

      I would play Eve if running multiple accounts wasn’t the norm… It stifles the MMO part so much when a lot of players just run their own group.

      Besides being expansive “space themed” MMOs. The two games are wildly different.

      Elite Dangerous is more “fly your ship in first-person”

      Eve online is more “click click tactics”

      TMI:

      I played Elite more than EVE. So I’m biased in I liked Elite better. But it was just too big it felt empty. I think what finally killed Elite Dangerous for me was trying to make the trip Sol to Sagittarius A (galactic center). Was a challenge, but on the way back my game crashed right as I entered a neutron star system and I got pulled into the cone.

      I was so pissed, I just haven’t touched it since. Still pisses me off recalling it. Spending weeks of my life jumping from system to system, gathering so much data to only to get screwed by something like that.
