Eve Online - Skilling up for an Effective Hound


For running Amarrian missions against Minmatar rats, the Hound is generally regarded as the best choice.

1. You can stay far away and blap at a distance (70k+ recommended).
2. The damage bonus for Hounds (Explosive) - 15% torpedo bonus per level.


To get into a Hound these are the requirements:

1. Spaceship Command I (which allows Minmatar Frigate)
2. CPU Management to II and Power Grid Management II (which allows Electronics Upgrades)
3. Electronics Upgrades to V and Spaceship Command to III allows Covert Ops.
4. Covert Ops I

To make the Hound effective, requires more skills.

Cloaking to III (at a minimum)
Weapon Upgrades to V
Advanced Weapon Upgrades I (to III when able)
CPU Management to IV when able
Bomb Deployment to IV
Missile Launcher Operation V
Guided MIssile Precision to III (to IV when able)
Missile Bombardment to IV when able
Missile Projection to IV when able
Warhead Upgrades to IV when able
Torpedoes to IV when able
Rapid Launch to IV when able

Commentary: Religion - Why it's hard for me to Believe

1. I have been ernest many times in my pleas to ask something of God and I've never received a whisper of a voice back. I've wanted to talk to my Dad, but have never heard any voices talking back. I would venture to say that if I had heard either, anyone upon hearing of that would think I'm 'mental' and suggest I see a psychiatrist, no? How about priests? They say they 'talk to God' and that God 'speaks' to them, but they never claim to have actually heard an actual voice. If all this time the real audio communication is only one-way, how is there any proof that anything is on the other side? 2. Sure, there are stories of miracles, but in your life or mine or anyone we know... When was the last time there has been an unequivical miracle happen that cannot be explained away as anything else but a miracle? 3. When people get a touchdown, they thank God. When they're rescued from a burning building, they thank God. When they're rescued from a pr...

Eve Online - Faction Warfare Missioning

Basics: Gain ISK and LP by completing and turning in missions. Missions are against npc's (non-player "rats"). They generally involve destroying an object (like a reactor), or a head honcho rat (like a Sector Commander). With ISK you can purchase whatever you need off the Eve markets. LP you use to purchase items in your corporations Loyalty Points Store (LP = Loyalty Points). How lucrative is mission running? It depends on the tier the faction is at in the warzone. If you complete 20 missions, you should on average at Tier 3 get a payout of about 40 million ISK and 450K-550K LP. At about 700 ISK/LP that translates to about 350 mil. ISK. At Tier 4, those same missions completed should pay out 650k-850k LP. This would translate to about 550 mil. ISK. What do I use to run missions? Current doctrine suggests that if you're Amarr fighting against Minmatar, the best ship to use on Level 3 and 4 missions is a Stealth Bomber called the Hound . You can stay at range...

Self-Destruction

It is a common adage that people tend to fall into patterns they're familiar with. When I was young, I evolved into a profoundly insecure boy who felt inadequate in most everything. It is to easy to say this was my parents fault. Certainly, some of it no doubt originated from seeing what my father did to my mother physically and I'm sure some of those scars colored how I saw the world, but at some point you have to move beyond that and be accountable only for yourself. I never used it as an excuse; it was just how it was. My sense of inadequacy came from something I felt I lacked and I can only blame myself. As I got older and started to be attracted to girls, my profound and pronounced desire for them as objects of deification and worship was matched with the sense of inadequacy I felt so that my admirations by necessity had to remain at a distance. I suppose in other times it would be easy to view this as a romantic notion, like the whole unrequited love and chivalric code an...
