Easy T0 Exotics with the CORMORANT!! || EVE Online

[@ljrretropcs]

Just get into the habit of shift+r (recall drones) and ctrl+r (reload everything) as soon as the room is done. Especially helpful for those using RLML

[@Chevalier_knight]

Iv remapped it to e r f with no shift

[@captainbenzie]

Excellent tip!

[@icenhorn4744]

Thank you for the Fit, this is my first Love, and one that i still keep around. i still have my first Cormorant on any and all characters. just the look alone is amazing. will try your fit and cant wait to try it!

[@captainbenzie]

Good luck!!

oh my god I've been wondering about a loot all keybind for so long just being able to press enter is gonna make everything so much easier

Yup, I had NO IDEA 😂

finally completed my first Abyssal in this fit! and then I did 5 more :D

Congratulations!! 🚀🎉

T0 and T1 darks are quite a breeze in an rocket hookbill. most T0 runs are under 5 mins. for T0 you could also switch the Tech 2 launchers for arbalest but need to use faction ammo.

[@TheCynysterMind]

Ahoy.... I have done a few of the abyssal dead space runs... Only lost one due to not putting out enough damage fast enough. But this actually begs the question for me.... where the heck are you getting the filaments? They are pretty expensive where I am Can I manufacture these things?

[@captainbenzie]

Filaments drop from two places, exploration/hacking sites and other Abyssals. They can also be gained as part of the daily login rewards and AIR Career Program.

[@sirannikus]

Thanks! Now fully skilled as an Alpha! Cheers!

[@TheKhyel]

ty for the video :) can this fit do T1 exotic too ?

[@captainbenzie]

It CAN, but it's risky and so slow that you actually earn more through multiple T0

[@MColeyA]

If you have cruiser skills wouldn’t it be cheaper to do it in a cruiser since you only need 1 ticket? Are rewards better for 2 destroyers or the same? I know destroyers move faster, but I feel the increase in dps on cruisers may be better.

[@2beersOG]

on cruiser you get 1x rewards which on average is about 0.77M per run on tranquil difficulty on destroyers you get 2x rewards which averages to about 1.47M per run on frigs you get 3x the rewards for about 2.24M on average. so you should try going for the fastest clearspeed in ideally a frigate for the most ISK/h on my rocket hookbill i finish most T0 runs under 5 or close to 5 mins which averages out to about 26,4M ISK/h so while i use 3 dark filaments (each 65K) per run i spend 0.23M on filaments per hour which leaves me at 26,17M ISK/h on destroyers its 0.15M on filaments which leaves me on 17,49M ISK/h which is purely hypothetical since my destroyer runs usually tend to take a little longer than 5 min for cruisers its 9,17M ISK/h for 12 "5min runs" so to answer your question, ISK wise it would be cheaper to do cruiser runs, but the return is nowhere near the return you get from frigate runs. thanks for listening to my ted talk

[@captainbenzie]

As has already been answered, the loot scales based on the number of filaments used. If a run takes 15 minutes in a solo frigate, a destroyer needs to be able to do it in 10 mins, or a cruiser in 5, to make the same ISK. Cruisers are also more expensive and require deeper skills, which is a factor to consider also.

[@MColeyA]

Thank you guys for explaining that and clarifying it.

[@titaniummechsx3324]

I usually use the cormorant to clear low level agent missions cuz it got high firepower and larger ships are too slow in speed and tracking

Hey man! I was reading about this subject like 1 hour ago haha, I'm trying to find a fit for the minmatar ships because in rust we trust, mind to create one for each faction?

Stay tuned for this week! I've already covered the Thrasher a few times, but there's a couple more Minmatar ones on the way!

[@SargonOfAmerish]

I mean... I've successfully used a Venture a few dozen times in T0 just as a challenge to see if it were possible so I don't see how you could possibly have an issue using a destroyer unless you like literally forgot to fit guns on it or something 🤭

Can't help but notice he didn't put the systems for the agent missions to get the free cormorant in the description, even though he said he would. Whatever. Not like YT personalities are all that honest anyways.

[@captainbenzie]

Tell you what, why don't you give me your login details and I'll just play the game for you?? 1m for weapons is nothing. Seriously. Join a corp, run some agent missions, use the T0 Tristan I showcased to make 50m ISK an hour. This is EVE, if you're whinging and whining that the game isn't handed to you on a silver platter, you're going to have a bad time. And yes, I FORGOT to put the systems in the description.

You seem angry? EVE is a PvP game at its nature (literally just done a video on this) and ganking etc is VITAL to how the game operates (no, I'm not a PvP player). The trick is ensuring that OTHER PEOPLE get destroyed, not you.

You can do abyssals in high sec and they are cheaper and easier to get into for new players, so just because you can do something more profitable doesn’t mean the content is pointless

Why do none of the Eve content creators that shill the referral code never fail to disclose they get kickbacks every time one of those used referral codes spends money in the Eve store? Wonder if it has anything to do with them also failing to tell the new players they are being less than honest with they can get the referral bonus by themselves. We'll learn about the honesty in how quickly this comment gets deleted.

[@captainbenzie]

😂 "Why don't you explain that you ALSO get something for players using the referral code?" Bruh, I already have folks telling me that the intro can get a bit long and you want to make it LONGER? 😂 I'm not HIDING the fact that I get kickbacks, and frankly, I've got over 800 links used at this point. I've got all the rewards from it a long time ago. You're acting like I'm being super insidious here, and wording like an asshole (that's probably what gets your comments deleted by other CCs btw), when all I'm doing is letting people know that they can get 1m.free SP to get started, without going into a five minute long spiel about how the program works. Says something that you see insidiousness when I'm simply trying to be helpful and succinct.

Anyone who doesn’t think someone gets kickbacks from a referral link is naive anyway.

[@GibsnRage]

You spent a long time emphasizing how to get a 900k hull for free only to then demonstrate a 9mill fit while simultaneously insisting that using caldari ammo is better because you make more isk per hour? Why would you encourage me to make more isk per hour with my ammo, and simultaneously encourage me to go and waste hours of my day for a 900k hull?
