A Nomad Tale 11

[@chloroken]

What is a hammer, if not a club? A saw, if not a blade?

[@AHigherPerspective]

As a veteran player who's NEVER ventured into a wormhole for any other reasons than to 3rd party a fight somewhere, your series has been very wonderful and relaxing to watch. I'm still going through your videos and have been learning so much from them. I really appreciate the effort you have put into this. Please keep up to the good work.

[@chloroken]

It's cool to hear how you can keep up with the content even with limited experience. Thanks for the kind and very encouraging words too. I'm finishing up the next episode, hope you'll be ready for it. :)

[@dimitrisd1795]

Another movie length episode allways makes me want to play eve. You always make eve look so large and full of variety

[@chloroken]

If I can convince even a few people of the magic of this sandbox, I consider it an esteemed victory. :)

[@Atrophes]

You got me back in. Commented a day ago on an older video but I'm back in and getting my house in order starting with day tripping and getting a scan alt put together. Really like your alt scheme and mentality.

[@messcommand7819]

Woot woot! New video!!

Greetings From T.TAC

[@makarijezixon129]

Two years ago lost everything while I was evicted from J-space. Thx for making me thinking about getting back in J after years, even as nomad

[@chloroken]

There is room for you out here. If you need help with getting back into it after the break, get ahold of me on discord. Otherwise, if you choose to come back out, best of luck, capsuleer!

[@xxvmvxx]

fsghshsh silent battleground lets go. if those were worth more it would be the perfect site for you i'd imagine, since all the loot takes up alot of space and it's shattered only. such a weird site. I'd love to see you in a Superior Sleeper Cache one day.

[@willphilp8359]

10 would have been such an easy number to stop at but Im glad you didn’t! I’ve enjoyed your content more than any other. I never thought I would enjoy long format but I’ve watched every minute. It helped get me through some sleepless nights when my son was first born. Keep it rolling!!!! You da best.

[@chloroken]

The series continues for as long as I'm enjoying it. Thank you for the super kind thoughts, and the idea that I could help you through those nights is amazing, and I pride myself on your comment. :)

[@fromdarknesscomeslight6894]

1:09:50 two things really quick about looking through wormholes: first, the skybox on the other side is shown upside down (i.e. vertically mirrored) with a high field of view. So nebulas that look like they're right next to each other might be a good distance apart. Second, most of the clouds in the game follow a strange rule where they can't "shine through" a region and be visible to another region behind it. So for example, Venal in the north can only see the #1 cloud in Jove space and not the #3 cloud in Caldari space, presumably becasue Tribute is "in the way" of the #3 cloud. Similarly, Branch cannot see the #1 cloud (despite seemingly having line of sight) because both Venal and Tenal are in between it and the #1 cloud. Obviously there's a handful of exceptions to this rule, with most of the nullsec ones dealing with the #11 cloud. However, if you take both of these into account, the only two options for the other end of that wormhole are Pure Blind or Black Rise. And the deciding factor would be that Black Rise can see the #4 cloud and Pure Blind cannot.

[@fromdarknesscomeslight6894]

One last thing I wanted to touch on, EVE-NT Designer is a web based demo for a machinima tool in development that uses actual assets from the game. I use it to look at the skyboxes in a 3d environment, which has helped a lot for learning the skyboxes without having actually been to all those regions. The web interface is a bit clunky, but it works.

[@chloroken]

Some good corrections and information in here. I'm 100% adding EVE-NT Designer to my list of resources for jspacers, that's awesome! Thank you for the in-depth analysis and tips. Appreciate you.

[@speed5475]

Hell yes. Late to the party but Black Ops are easily my favorite ship type in the game, and the only T2 Ship I took the skill to Level 5 on (excluding Logi 5 on an alt). You are pretty much uncatchable and unkillable bar a lack of intel or hubris. And I am quite happy you realized its a solid PvE boat. I've flown the Panther on/off for several years in low sec running DEDs, and probably best thing about it is how opportunistic it is. You can easily PvE with a PvP fit and when the opportunity knocks you can just drop on a target you find. Quite flexible, and with flexibility comes never being bored. There is always something to do with them. Not much use in Wormholes, in and of themselves, but if you like staging out of a low or null static as you look for things, I can see it being quite useful. Though, as you noted, your current target selection (both PvE and PvP) just quite simply doesn't warrant it, especially since it ties up a character slot. Though it does have the benefit of having no locking delay from cloak just like Stealth Bombers. Maybe you can come up with something utilizing that quirk like alpha'ing haulers with an arty build or something, if it ever makes a return. Super niche though, but I like niche. Thanks for making this series. Lived in or worked with wormholes basically my entire 'career' and even I learned a few things in this journey.

[@chloroken]

Thank you so much for this comment. Sorry I'm late to get to it. I appreciate you.

[@atouchofa.d.d.5852]

Many new thoughts. This adventure has opened me up a lot.

[@fidohh0775]

OMG, that new station interior makes me want to start eve again, right away. Just for one hour spinning through all my ships.

[@chloroken]

It's super pretty.

[@DavidMoralesk]

This series has a very high educational value. Thanks for everything!

[@asdasd9174]

These vids you are doing keep reminding me that this game we are playing is pretty magical.

[@chloroken]

It's all a matter of perspective. The tools are all there - it's up to us to appreciate them. Thanks for commenting with your thoughts, it's awesome to hear from people going through similar revelations as myself.

[@thedudeabides3138]

Just so, SO good as always. Watching this series, I have as much fun vicariously as I do in-game, no joke.

[@chloroken]

The toppest of compliments. Much love and I'm so happy to provide you with a couple hours of entertainment. :D

[@kliderskope3662]

Thanks for this latest update. Interesting use of the blops.

[@Quickbookish]

Let’s Gooooo! Pumped to watch!

[@Australianreptilehouse]

Yeah this is gold dude, im a long time null sec nomad and watching you has been educational and has helped me in my journey. Keep it mate you adding value.

[@chloroken]

It makes me smile when I hear you're a fellow nomad who draws a bit of inspiration from my journey. I wish you the best out there, friend.

[@Nbjolly]

Another amazing episode. Great editing and transitioning, truly a masterpiece that I’m sure takes many hours to edit and clip. As always thank you for creating the content you do!

[@chloroken]

I would be mortified if I saw an actual hour count on the editing software I use for these. But, it's worth it for the feeling of accomplishment, the record of my fun, and really kind comments like yours. Thank you.

[@michaelkane6797]

So much good stuff in this installment, thanks! For the most part I live in LS, and the advantage to me is stability you don't find in wormholes... something I wasn't aware of until I tried imitating some of what you do. I know who I'm going to need to fight or run from, who I can make friends with and have a pretty good idea when they will be around. Of course you need to watch for neutrals, but local is a better indicator than D-scan. Low sec is not nearly as lucrative as wormhole life, but I like having the ability to hop on for 20 minutes or an hour and have fun without all that tedious scanning. I'll probably remain a daytripper where wormholes are concerned, but I certainly spend a lot more time there than I used to.

[@chloroken]

Good analysis of the factors that make lowsec familiar/comfortable for some and scary for others. If I've truly influenced you in even the slightest of ways to dipping your toes into jspace more often from the lowsec side, then I consider that to be one of my greatest wins to date. :D

[@atouchofa.d.d.5852]

It's a fun journey!

[@fuglbird]

Killing miners seems to be the favorite activity for veteran players. Skill points seem more important than skills in this game. I think it's time for me to stop playing this game. Maybe I'll continue watching these videos. They make me sleep faster than counting sheep. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@Kalron9]

Man I have played Eve again for about a month after about an eight year break. I have been living in a WH for a week and now I feel like lowsec is so dangerous by comparison. WHs are sooo chill by comparison. Almost safe, too. Almost...

[@jre353seriesenjoyer4]

I am so glad i found this gem. I have learned so much abt wormholes

[@crashannburnFPV]

Great videos! Thanks for taking the time to making these. I'm a huge fan of JSpace, and this is right up the alley. :) About the cloud being different, is the case. But the animation of the puffs are rendered pr client. Instead of the server being loaded with the position of the different puffs, the client renders it. This is why it seems different for each of your clients. Just making the client do the calculations instead of the server.

[@chloroken]

Thanks for the explanation. Makes complete sense. Cheerio!

[@zacharyhalsema3709]

It's like an early Christmas! Looking forward to watching!

[@ujecha]

Thanks for this awesome series! I just caught up after a week long pseudo binge. Looking forward to the next ep!

[@alexparkin425]

Thanks for another fascinating video. I just need to see how much I can apply to a solo single-boxing player.

[@chloroken]

Look at your tools and figure out what you want to do. One account limits what you can do in terms of raw intake/opportunity, but with some imagination and a bit of effort, you can have a good time with even a single account. Just focus on multiple fits, mobile depots, and being safe, and you can have a blast. Contact me on discord if you want some personal guidance on single-account setups chloroken#1750

[@mitchellp6289]

Amazing episode! Panther such a good looking ship. I notice that drifter holes don't make an appearance in these episodes. Would love to learn more about those.

[@chloroken]

This is on "The List of Wonderful Things to Explore". Expect to see me dive more into Drifters & Pochven in upcoming episodes. Thank you for the very kind words, it means a lot to me.

[@jtrippin]

Hey! Thanks for your efforts on these videos. I've been binging them the past couple of weeks and you've convinced me to go to the hole for some nomading as well as to achieve some bucket list items that I haven't gotten to these past 12ish years playing EVE. Love your always positive attitude and way to find something to enjoy about whatever it is you're doing (including dying)! It's refreshing in EVE. Your voice sounds very familiar too. I truly like how you have taken the "nomad" approach but then also use it to do many other things (low/nullsec dives; BLOPs; etc.). Any chance you would tell us more about your multi-boxing and character training methodology? The overview of your character roles and accounts previously was excellent. Keep them coming!

[@chloroken]

Thank you for the indepth feedback and supportive comments. Super kind of you. I'm thrilled you're going to get back out there for an adventure of your own. You've reached out to me on discord, so I'll save some KZbin bandwidth and discuss the multiboxing/skilling methodology with you in private. But if anybody else wants to know about these topics, just DM me on discord chloroken#1750. I look forward to talking to you about nomading and hearing about your journey in the imminent future. :)

Thank you. :)

[@PouletDixieLee]

When I left the game the Trig stuff was starting but Povch didnt exist yet. I'll admit the whole concept of it is really "sci fi". Makes me think a bit of The Expanse, *spoilers at the end.* I wonder how hard it would be to live solo out of Poch, I'm not well aware of the mechanics of that place. Anyway great vids as always. I'm breezing through this series like crazy and i really should take more my time with it. *SPOILERS* in The Expanse when they enter the stargate inner zone with all the wormholes that all lead to a thousand systems

[@rabbitgaming-c6j]

1:30 made me laugh playing the outro music hehe

Awesome video as always mate I would love to see what fit your running on the panther I've been having a hard time setting mine up without using cap boosters but can't wait till next time cya mate!

Hit me up on discord for fits, I don't tend to include them often in the series or on KZbin for personal reasons (people just nitpick :P). Or you can evemail one of my chars if you don't use discord. :)

geez, I like your organization on jita alt, did you ever go into it in another episode?

[@chloroken]

I believe I may have mentioned it again in episode 12, but can't recall currently. Realistically nobody has taken interest in my mutaplasmid business so I haven't elaborated too much and have just done it on my own. :)

[@darkrydar]

@@chloroken ah cool, I am always interested in how people organize their hangers, as I do such a shit job. Everyone else's hangers seem so clean.

[@chloroken]

@@darkrydar That's awesome. Organization is a huge uh.. pleasure? of mine. It's the main reason why I needed an office space in game, to utilize the hangars (which let us store infinite items/weight and even repackage). Back in Jita, where office space is too expensive to rent, I bought a bunch of Tayras on my trader character. Assembled them with some cargo expanders, and now I have a second "folder" with the Tayras as folders. This helps me organize even without hangar bays that offices afford. It's weird but, if anybody would be like "oh neat" maybe it's you. :)

[@darkrydar]

@@chloroken not going to lie, i found that neat

[@gablo1089]

Not sure why my EVE folder is messed up, it's in a different place and doesnt have the AppData pathway, had a look for simmilar folders but couldn't see any.

[@chloroken]

Yeah this happens. You can usually find your directory by right clicking the shortcut and looking to where it links to. Properties tab if that doesn't work.

[@gablo1089]

Can't find it still, probably overdue for a factory reset anyway so might do that and reinstall lol. New player by the way and your series is by far my favourite I've come across.

Awesome content. I've watched all 11 episodes over the Xmas 22 break. I have a character in a WH and it's so much fun. Just wanted to confirm what jump mechanic you're using at 1hr13 mins in the vid, is that a filament jump out of Pochven? It appears to land you in HS but I thought you landed in LS coming from an extraction filament. /RA

[@chtaimooryasinmohaar6693]

Really appreciate you uploading I understand you must have alot going on in your life but can I make a suggestion rather the uploading after one 2 hour video inn a month or longer why not chop it up in 1 hours video but upload a bit more frequently like 1video in 2 weeks or sumthing. That’s for creating such a series and for your service to eve community.

[@chloroken]

I'm happy you liked it so much that you want to see it more often! I have indeed thought about shorter episodes, but the truth is that I don't think I will - with ANT, at least. In the future, I have some other ideas for projects that would lend themselves to a more manageable runtime. But, with ANT, I value the continuity of production as a nonnegotiable aspect of it at this point. Thanks for the support. o7

[@jaroslavoswald7566]

Hi. I have one question. Maybe u already explained it in another episode but I didnt watch it all. How is it possible that rats are not attacking u while u are huffing gas in venture? They always jump straight at me when Im huffing gas.

[@chloroken]

Hi Jaroslav, check out episode 10 for details on this technique I've called the 'nomad scoop'. But the basic idea is that rats have a max range - you can stay outside of this.

[@majorcole1]

Which video did you get the Panther?

[@chloroken]

This one. But it was teased at the end of the previous episode (watch the last few seconds) and was shown off in the episode trailer. I have been trained into it for some time though, as zk corroborates.

[@jjbrentson4519]

2:50 a betrayal worse than that of Anakin Skywalker. :(

[@chloroken]

It was super rude of me D:

[@jjbrentson4519]

Truthfully though, aside from that one instance you've shown lol, I really love what I've watched from this series so far. You've all but eliminated my fear of wormholes and lowsec just by showing me what's possible and how to be safe and proactive. I also really respect your usual style of ransoming with loot. It sends a message without taking a potentially hard-earned ship away from a player, and it gives them the chance to learn without a huge demoralizing setback. Please keep up the good work!

[@wwjd7590]

What was the draw to helios over other cov op ships?

[@chloroken]

I'm a fan of the speed boost that Cheetah + Helios get, but I like the slot layout of the Helios better. That's basically it. All 4 of 'em are great and completely equal for most purposes imo.

[@TheDantheprogamer]

Hey there , here also an oldtimer . Enjoy your stuff . But I have a question . How can I get back into the game ? As someone that hasn’t played in a few years now

[@chloroken]

Hey, thanks for leaving a note! Getting back into the game is incredibly hard. Everything you know is useless, and everything you loved it long gone. But there's hope. Make a new character. The new player experience is so much better now, like, for real this time. The AIR program lets you tour the new avenues of playing EVE. It will be impossible for you to not become inspired again, and you can later fold this character in as an alt when you get back on your feet. This is exactly what I did with my pilot chalcid, to the letter. If you have a serious investment into your main char(s) and don't want to make a new character, I think finding a corp/group to take you in and nurse you back to competency would be the path of least resistance. People are as happy to gush about what's good and what's bad in 2022 as they were in 2012 and 2005. I can try to help you find a group to join if you'd like. Or you can just drop me a line on disc/in-game and I can answer questions you may have about the game at my convenience. Either way, glad to have inspired you and hope to hear from ya.

[@Nedas-ef9ft]

Well unfortunately only having 1 account to scoop gas and not living in wormholes makes gas a lot less profitable ;(

[@chloroken]

It's true. Gas mining (and resource harvesting in general) is really rough for a single account. But, that doesn't mean you can't do it. Just that you won't be clearing entire core clouds willy nilly! :) Good luck.
