EVE Fanfest 2015: Pro Space Truckers

[@AmazingVerex47]

this man's level of humor and passion for his in-game is surreal and refreshing. Best hauling service that exists.

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

+Caleb Schaible Thanks!!

[@Frageye]

I really like that guy , all the passion for flying a frighter, absolutly Great 👍

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

+frageye Thanks A lot!

[@alextablet8825]

Never make the spacetruckers angry 😇

[@zxGHOSTr]

Ironicaly he also looks like a real trucker XD

[@zordah]

Damn this brings back some memories - As Masakaa I flew in red frog and later on in black frog back in 2010/2011. Very happy to see the frogs are still going strong!

[@stevewright8431]

I'm an old Frogger from when I played Eve a couple years back. Great Corp. Lots of fun. Go Frogs!

[@maximusaerelius9570]

I've used Red Frog quite a few times and I've always messaged my pilot to say thanks when it's dropped off. They'll go 1 jump over for you if you pay (generally I always put min 2 jumps worth as a reward though cos Freighters be slooooow). Always professional and so damn quick. Amazing service. As for the video, that accent is awesome and keeps it interesting. Really great presentation and throughly enjoyed it especially the fun slides. O7

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

+Maximus Aerelius Thanks! And indeed we Frogs always like tips :) But will do our best still without one

[@grondhero]

I used to be in Red Frog and loved it for the most part. (I left after they nerfed freighters with "upgrade slots" which ended up reducing cargo space, unless you doubled the cost of your ship.) I really enjoyed hauling freight for people and was fortunate enough to never get ganked, even when customers would be "daring" enough to put up to 10 bil ISK worth of cargo with a 1 bil collateral. Those types almost never gave tips, either. My internal gripe was that I was affected by a Red Frog who stole lots of freight. She (?) apparently apologized to the officers and claimed to pay everyone back, but I lost thousands of corpses she was hauling and she never paid me back. My favorite day was generally Sunday b/c there was one particular customer who would put up dozens of orders to be shipped from location A, B, & C, to Jita (IIRC). I had to get up early to get those contracts b/c another Frog would grab them, too, and while I could only accept 3-5 contracts at a time, she could accept 10. lol But she was so nice that she'd lend me about 4-5 bil ISK each Sunday (to cover collateral) and then after the work was done, I'd return the money to her, then I'd head to church. Good times before CCP nerfed freighters. I do wish I'd kept with it - never got burned out of hauling freight and I was one of the only people that wouldn't AFK fly. (I did it once, to test it, but AFKing just wasn't for me.)

[@Wowthatsfail]

What an awesome guy. I never realized people actually played like this!

[@MrPuschel]

Then one wonders why CCP makes it easier to gank freighters every few updates.

[@williedewit5223]

Hi all, running for CSM XI now. Don't be afraid...the doomsday weapon on a freighter- idea is allready refused by ccp :)

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

+Willie de Wit For those guys that didn't saw the huge resemblance with the handsome frog in the vid....This is me indeed :)

[@zetetick395]

Ahh logistics... If it's by car - it's called 'a shipment' If it's by ship - it's called 'cargo' - Life is messed up! :P

[@TigerXtrm2]

Damn that accent lol :D Dutch power!

[@roostercogbert5782]

thick enough to put the fear of BIG in the toughest of CODE

[@mfanto1]

These Dutch guys are everywhere

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

Guys and Girls, I still didnt get all your names of who attended :) Leave me your ingame name in a mesage and i make it right !

[@AussieVet]

Great attitude would love to be a Red Frog but only have 1 account

[@tomsmith7207]

Good business. You guys are great! Who says business can't be honest? I'll keep using you guys as much as I can.

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

+Tom Smith (The Watcher) Always glad to have your business!

[@node5531]

Great presentation!

[@bennitt69]

HAHAH 8:18 "We thrust you guys, yeah we thrust you too, but if I get canked..."

[@Kopakapat]

You can move a blueprint in an interceptor. A shuttle might be dumb but it's pretty hard to catch a ceptor.

[@conflictengaged1618]

Patrick Janelle If you're in HS it would make more sense to move it in a Shuttle.

[@-Zevin-]

Southern Syndicate Why would it be better in highsec to take a shuttle? Interceptors are not exactly expensive and if you have the skills for one a travel fit ceptor is great, warp speed rigs and nano's in lows will beat a shuttle in speed / safety any day, at least from what i understand.

[@captaincraftit696]

Conflict Engaged Shuttles are so weak you can pretty much just one-hit them, so in hi-sec it doesn't make much of a difference.

[@conflictengaged1618]

CaptainCraftIt Interceptors have less than 5k EHP even when tanked, meaning if someone wanted to actually gank them, they would die regardless. Both Shuttles and Interceptors align pretty much instantly, depending on skills. With max skills on either, it is impossible to stop them. Even without skills, it's not enough to lock either up, cargo scan and then blap them. Sure, the scanner could be an alt, in which case with either, you're fucked, however, most times than not, people don't target shuttles when looking to make solid ISK through ganking. Interceptors are mainly for NulSec travel and BP hauling, as they are immune to non-targetted interdiction (dictor/hictor bubbles and anchorable bubbles).

[@gingy9788]

I hope these guys are still open for business

[@williedewit5223]

We are!!

[@williedewit5223]

Yes we are!! So log in and go to chat channel for more info.

[@ourmanthejoker]

great presentation ;D

[@slhe0020]

In Red Frog's recruitment page it says: "Freighter Alt needs to have Hull Upgrades II trained (to level two only)". Can someone explain why only two levels?

[@kaspernbs]

minimum requirment.

[@slhe0020]

No, it says there are several good reasons for not training hull upgrades beyond level 2 but does not explain why.

[@grondhero]

It's been several years since I played and was a Red Frog pilot, but if it says something like "two only," then any excess is wasted as far as freighter piloting goes. So, Hull Upgrades III may expand cargo holds or something which isn't available on freighters.

[@effervescentrelief]

Han Solo flew a freighter.

[@AntonxxxGorodetsky]

Nice dude Red Frog trucker.... is nice

[@RainbowGangsta88]

Good Talk

[@justsaiyansteve]

Starship truckers!

[@SeraphX2]

Dunno why Blockade Runners aren't acceptable forms of transport for small amounts of cargo. If you have a Cov Ops and get caught, you suck at getting through gate camps.

[@maxcrawford9962]

Blockade runners are a great way to transport cargo... Through low sec or running around in womrhole space. Other than that, they have no use.

[@colecates5554]

I want to know they made that trip calculator x.x

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

+Cole Cates Sent me an ingame mail and I sent you the mail of our web guru!

[@IMortage]

Love my frogs.

[@jasonmurphy6126]

Jita Rita?

[@vaju79]

Ganking FTW

[@Puzzoozoo]

***** Gankers are bigger douch bags then gate campers.

[@littlesluger2672]

rofl wtf is this?! Does this game like make you money IRL or something?

[@roostercogbert5782]

No no. red frog is the premier private freight Corp in eve. unless you got permission to sell plex from eve, you don't really get real cash. but if you get a sellers license, "markee dragon" for example, your not allowed to turn isk into cash

[@littlesluger2672]

oh lol thanks for the info that clears things up for me

[@SuperGamli]

Very rude people in that audience...always interrupting and barely clapped at the end

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

Nah they weren't rude at all...and the room was big but not full. There was another ccp presentation at the same time. (to be honest I would have gone to that one too, but I had a presenation to do :) )

[@SuperGamli]

If you say so mate ;). I thought it was a great lecture. .

[@gnaeuscrassus1883]

blehh nahh Thanks, Much appreciated!!

[@campbellwalker6378]

Gnaeus Crassus That was a good lecture, it illuminated a lot of what RF do with regards to the contracts.

[@roboparks]

So the Russians declare war on every body. The Russian truckers can have a monopoly on hauling. Nice!

[@tyreecrowder1322]

That’s a scam

[@williedewit5223]

What is a scam?
