Explaining EVERYTHING About The Fitting Tool!! || EVE Online

[@jonnybravo420]

Hey brother, I haven't played since 2014 so I've pretty much forgotten everything. Your videos are bringing everything back and are a HUGE help. Thank you SO MUCH for making this series of vids and the playlists!

[@captainbenzie]

Welcome back! Really glad that I can help!!

I'm lodging a complaint at the lack of mentioning the clean ship button. Which, as you know, cleans your ship of any skins. Its main purpose, however, is to clean your ship of dirt and rust. For anyone who isn't aware, ships that sit in a station will accumulate dirt, which makes your ship feel more like it's been used. It's quite cool imo. It makes amarr ships very less shiny. I'd also like to note, while not relavent. Any kills you get on players will put little kill marks along the side of that specific ship as a badge of honour. It won't put them on other ships that are the same. Just that specific one you used for the kill. Just fun facts.

[@captainbenzie]

Thanks for the tips! 😊

[@koolkevin2357]

Where is this cool button? And does it remove the kill badges? Thank you!

[@Fox-in-the-north]

@koolkevin2357 clean ship button is in the skin tab at the bottom left, I believe. The only thing I'm aware of that removes kill marks is repackaging the ship. You can get them back if this happens by opening a support ticket to have them restored

Thanks for the video! Fitting is surely a different animal in EO but this explains it well.

[@gothmog2441]

Worth realising that PG is a limit on ship-size appropriate modules (PG use for different weapon sizes are basically in bands that are an order of magnitude apart) whereas CPU is a limit on modules that can be used on any size ship - like probe launchers, cloaks, damage controls, hardeners, membranes etc, all of which have PG use of only 1 MW. So the variation in CPU pool for different size ships is much smaller than the difference in PG pool. For CPU bound modules (such as hardeners), capacitor consumption is a significant load for small ships like frigates; the same module in a battleship uses so little cap compared to the pool available it is insignificant. But for PG bound modules (weapons, prop mods, armor and shield repairers) cap use scales with ship size so they are always significant, particularly if you oversize.

[@captainbenzie]

Excellent way to describe it to clarify it!

[@zeitgeist265]

I know this is kinda unrelated but what is the diff between blasters railguns and hybrid turrets as an ee refugee. Are blasters the snubs equivalent?

[@Surge2k6]

Blasters are snubs simply put. But Rails gun range is shorter then rifled ones in EE without further modules and skills. But you can make a sniper Vigilant ;)

Thank you Sir for this video! o7

[@AbdulSoomro-kj5lt]

How do I put in hard points when the ships don’t have it?

[@captainbenzie]

You can't

[@Romkiger]

I find it interesting how small ships like frigates and destroyers have 3x the high-medium-small slots than their counterparts in Eve Echoes. Will there be a series describing the different ships like you did for Eve Echoes? If so that would be awesome!

[@Surge2k6]

Simple put in Benzies favor: Destroyers are awesome in Eve Online ;)

[@Jeff-gt2xu]

I totally missed how to add more slots.

[@captainbenzie]

You can't. A ship comes with so many slots.

[@Jeff-gt2xu]

@@captainbenzie booooo....ok...Thanks for the answer. BTW, this is day 2 and I am enjoying it

[@captainbenzie]

@@Jeff-gt2xu welcome to EVE! And don't worry, one of the huge benefits of EVEs design is leaning on that "creativity through limitations". The community has a long and storied history of managing to do extraordinary things with limited assets! People managed to set up entire corporations living in wormholes when they had no ability to access stations! Just as an example.

[@merimac_1318]

Refrained from last post m8. Yes deleted the comment and i admit my fault (a man will own the humiliation of fcking up with head held high) Been searching for most recent eve online vids and someone several times tagged echoes as eve online. I apologise for my outburst thankfully internet gives a leniency of deleting posts. So thank you for taking it with a humour and im sorry for acting out. Then again using eve echo tags in eve online kinda goes the other way as well regardless of making content for both games. As the start is similiar but progress and game mechanics are to much of a difference from both platforms. Like having a twins but one ( EvE Echoes) is disabled

[@DimaMuskind]

Goddamnit, this is really different from the EE. I hope that a miracle will happen and Echoes will recover and become really great game. But sadly it's almost impossible at this point...

[@DimaMuskind]

@Captain Benzie Agree, complexity gives you many options and makes you think and decide which is better for you in a specific situation. But on the other hand, simplicity is good too (sometimes). For example, I love Echoes as a simplified version of Eve Online, there are fewer skills to learn, some mechanics are simpler, etc. In this simpler environment, you are not that afraid of doing something wrong, and the "rules" of the game are more understandable. But of course, EE is far from ideal, to put it mildly.

[@Surge2k6]

Don't fear the complexity. Corp mates will always give you fittings that you can check out in the simulator and simply add the needed skills and use the "buy all" function. They will tell you how to use the fit. After a while, you will realize that fitting in EO is more balanced.

[@AccountClosed2024]

why isnt there a body shop where the spaceship autoshop can do it for us??? I do i need to know how to do it??? why cant we just pay a fee and have the game do it for us. Thats what EVERY other space game does. this is a stupid and dumb way to update a ship. this will turn away most people...

[@captainbenzie]

It's called "gameplay". The entire point is to fit a ship the way YOU want it to perform the task that you want it to do. It means that ships can have a wide plethora of versatile different roles and can be specialised for certain content. The fitting screen is arguably one of the most popular features of EVE Online due to its very nature as a complex and deep system that allows for so many different options. Take that away, or automate it, and you'd destroy a huge part of what makes this game so special.

[@LostInDub]

Or, alternatively, ask nicely or pay someone to tailor a fir for you ;)

[@AccountClosed2024]

@@captainbenzie yes that's true. good point. respect.

[@jiiaga5017]

@@AccountClosed2024 This is Eve online, you can literally pay someone to do that for you. It'll just be at a premium and be sure you trust them.

yes we need more quality content for the real eve thank you just dont waste your time on that other eve knock offf

[@Surge2k6]

You can still have nice skins and put a lot of isk into the fitting to make a ship a lot more powerful. And push skills rather than sinking real money on upgrades that can fail...
