    I never understand why people rat in big shiny ships in null space, just do it in an assault frig for shít sake :P

    And if you want to try the "new" (they've been around for ages o_Ó) bc's why not give it a aul go ^_^

    As a noob to this game (have about 50 days in the game) , whats best for "ratting" around?

    I think what your saying is don't fly what you cant lose? and if you fly something expendable you wont mind losing it?

    Are there any assault frig's you could recommend that have a bit of power to them?

    Ishkur is a great little ratting ship and imo one of the best lowsec pvp ships too

    The Ishtar is a beast then, i used to do esculations in mine from speed ratting in my mach, nothing like seeing battleship rats worth 1.8m die in 4 volleys :p

    So that's a loss of 1.7bil when you loose your ship then? ;)

    Where as with an Ishkur/ Enyo (I prefer Enyo), worth about 5mil you can make about 100mil in that same time. If you lose it (unlikely unless you're a dumbass :P ) you'd still make a profit! ;)

    Didn't lose 1st ship for 4-5 weeks only lost it because Pandemic Legion started to get people turning coat and pointing alliance members.

    Paid for a dread+cruiser+fits and 3x 1 months subs twice over in that time and 4-5bn on sub capital ships so was worth it.

    Ofc whe i lost it the people who were only able to rat half as fast as me in a carrier were the first to poke fun, faster and more fun my way (especially when being assisted by my alts fighters)

    Even if you didn't lose those ships, no, the game is not worth coming back to. It is an abyss from which there is no escape.

    I want to get stuck in to that abyss again, but I am afraid. :(

    Hell yeah, winter is coming and is gonna be complete clusterf**k.

    Ccp are changing the way highsec works for pos's, turning marauders into " I can't believe it's not dread" and introduceing deployable troll units...if you're only Gona test the water, do it when Rubicon drops, you should at least be entertained.

    Edit: just saw the date...
