EVE Online: Self Sufficient Steve - Part 23

[@youraveragesamiraenjoyer]

Hey man, I'm glad you're still playing almost daily since I first started playing the game in 2021, you helped me quite a lot back then I still remember your in-game name lol, thanks man

[@smoore6461]

Such a fun series, I love the batman sound effect. One thing I really dislike about missions is there is no way to easily run them and not destroy your reputation with other groups. Among the rework they should give the ability to say, "do not affect my reputation with major empires" So all you get is pirate empire missions.

[@CadePlaysGames]

You can just go spam distribution missions for the opposing faction(s) to fix your standings and/or re-do the SOE arc every 90 days. But yeah standings as a whole is a game mechanic which is almost obsolete. We used to need them for putting up stations and for installing jump clones. All it's used for now is market order costs, mission agent unlocks and NPC aggression. I'd just get rid of them entirely.

Loving this series!

[@mrmudcatslim1004]

Still grinding. Respect for the grind.😊

[@klarnorbert]

Love this new series 😉

Lowsec belt ratting...hunt some cruisers down there...isk and better meta loot! Use an Atron or your Algos.

[@CadePlaysGames]

I know, but I'm trying to keep this challenge highsec and alpha. 😎😎

[@darkarcanum1814]

@@CadePlaysGames ohhhh. Didn't realize you had put THAT stipulation on your challenge. Ouch!

[@CadePlaysGames]

@@darkarcanum1814 I added that rule after the series started 😵‍💫

[@PhonkElement]

you can do fw after this for faction modules and ships

[@CadePlaysGames]

For the blueprints....then I'd have to go Omega and train all the science/industry skills then go find all the materials and urgh 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@PhonkElement]

@@CadePlaysGames it's a grind but fw is fun and profitable and you can then get into an endurance for low sec mining. If you're interested in doing this, you should watch TDKPyrostasis's FW alpha to omega playlist, for like a layout or something. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX_NiYOAZrlokLs

I know the sec status of the mission system affects your mission difficulty and rewards, but does your faction with the agent also affect it? Also, you may say it's a dumb challenge :) but it's also an excellent introduction to Eve gameplay for new players. If they watch this series, they'll be well set up to jump into the big messy that is Eve.

[@CadePlaysGames]

Standings with the agent, their corp or their faction do not affect the pay (isk or LP) for the mission.

[@johnharrell817]

I agree Cade lvl 3 down to lvl 2,most lvl 4 down to lvl 3, and CCP create a lvl 4 set between lvl 5 and lvl 4's. Also, the Skin is on Paragon I made for your Cruiser. If you need the 1 million I will send it, you can reimburse if you want. Please apply it, it is not a module to benefit you on this Self Sufficient terms you are holding to yourself.

[@smoore6461]

ugh that sucks about the 1.0 security system destroying your loot and salvage. Sad day. Very sad day!

[@CadePlaysGames]

My own fault, I forgot all about that mechanic!😵‍💫

[@smoore6461]

@@CadePlaysGames yeah I don't think I even knew about it, so I guess I learned something new today :)

[@hundun5604]

Are you having fun? Because it sounds that you don't. 😬

[@Smashmous]

You are much better off just using a Destroyer for Lvl 2 Missions. You warp speed is much faster, also the targeting speed and your speed overall. The amount of lvl 2 Missions where you need a bit of tank, fight more than frigs and destroyers is not very high.

[@CadePlaysGames]

I know, but I imposed a rule on myself to ban anything smaller than a Cruiser from L2 missions, as farming missions would be too easy.

[@Smashmous]

@@CadePlaysGames isn't it easyer to run them in a cruiser? i mean you have to manage the destroyer to not die in a lvl2 but with the cruiser you can just sit there.

[@CadePlaysGames]

@@Smashmous Cruiser is easy mode, give you far much more safety margin

[@scottbromley1818]

40 min cap isn't enough? I think you put too much emphasis on being cap stable when it's not needed.

[@CadePlaysGames]

Yeah cap only needs to last long enough for the task in hand, 15-20 mins is usually plenty for PVE

[@creemoon9546]

thats not good...

[@michaptak4314]

whats your take on learning american and not talking like some1 from scotland?

[@elDaverino69]

What's your take on using punctuation correctly whilst simultaneously considering the health benefits of consuming other foods and not just squirrel meat?

[@creemoon9546]

whats your take on growing balls?

[@CadePlaysGames]

Why would I dumb down my videos? 😉
