EVE Online

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/20971229

I love EVE Online, but "multiboxing" was tricky for me in Linux. I like using the CLI for everything I can, but get completely swamped still when dealing with cocktails like Lutris, WINE prefixes, and dependencies.

So I was super interested when I stumbled upon Bottles - it seemed to solve a lot of my issues. Then, I realized GNOME's workspaces basically did the same thing as the old Windows program I used... and that was all she wrote. It worked perfectly for me, why overthink it?

I recorded my newbie solution to (hopefully) convince other players to switch. Do you have any advice or corrections for me? Did I make a cardinal sin? Is this the dumbest thing you've ever seen? Hit me with your honest takes. <3

Excerpt from the original post:

Features & Changes:

Missions & NPCs:

• Increased the damage per second of the Blood Raiders officer frigate Makra Ozman.

PvE:

• The Drifters have been unsuccessful in the Siege of Zarzakh. Horizon Siege Point sites and roaming Drifter/Sleeper fleets will no longer appear.

Sovereignty:

• Adjusted the locations of several asteroids in the small mining sites so that they aren’t so far away from the warp in location.

Defect Fixes:

Gameplay:

• The Capital Clone Vat Blueprint has been corrected so that it now uses 10% less Mexallon rather than 10% less Tritanium from the patch on the 18th September.
• The mineral prospecting array 1 upgrades are now respawning as intended.

Supes annoying when I accidentally trigger some action because I left clicked, which sometimes brings up the wheel, sometimes it doesn't.

I want to rebind this to middle mouse click. I searched the wiki page for Keyboard controls for "left," "mouse," "click," and "wheel," but I can't find where to rebind this. I even searched the internet, but no dice.

Can anyone point me to it? Thanks!

EDIT: Alternatively, in the event I cannot rebind this action, is there something I can do (or avoid doing) that would make it less likely to accidentally trigger the wheel, e.g., avoid clicking directly on my ship or something?

Hey everyone. Im trying to get into wormhole pvp as a hunter, and today I spent pretty much all day going down a chain with no explorers sited. I even spent a few hours camped at the wormhole to a HS system 4 or so jumps from Jita. The only people I saw were a few capsules, some cruisers in a fleet (probably defending their home), and a buzzard. I would jump to my perches on any relic or data site often, but there was no one. Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks!

I thought for sure there'd be a group of dudes here running a corp like basically any other media outlet.

After some time away from EVE (arguably quite some time) I felt like getting back into it. I have had some good times and some terrible times but all in all I like most of it.

After installing the game and logging back in, trying to figure out what all my accounts were and what they were good at, I realised that the Omega price has gone through the roof so much that I'd rather live with the itch and find something else to do.

It's sad though, because I liked the universe but I can simply not spend that kind of money on a game

Hi, I've downloaded the game via steam on mint. When I click the epic icon to log in, firefox loads the website. But then nothing happens, it doesn't trigger the log in on the laucher. Does anyone know a way to solve this?

EDIT: It also didn't work with chrome as browser, the linux Rare app gave me the same result as steam and the Heroic Games app (though logging me in with my epic account) didn't update the game launcher, so I couldn't run the game.

Then I’ve downloaded the Lutris app for linux. There I could get the epic launcher and install the game. The game launcher logged me in automatically and was running an update. It works. Lutris was the way to go for me! (Unfortunately it's running smoother on Windows for me but i only have a shit decades old on board graphics chip lol)

I've played eve off and on for over 10 years at this point. I came back to the game after a several year break and fell in with a wormhole alliance which seems to be suddenly populated by vocal members of the alt right, vocal enough that a few people are starting to leave the corp/alliance over.

Are there any corps or even alliances out there, especially ones in nullsec or j-space, that are either more inclusive or just keep their politics to themselves?

Hey, is anyone aware of a method to filter chat by keyword? The in-game spam is ... absolutely incredible.

Some super basic keyword filters would cut down on 99% of it. Even better, if you could selectively ignore any message containing a URL, or a contract, or something like that.

It's SUPER weird that a, what, 20 year old game doesn't have this. It smacks of intention and makes chat completely unusable.

Might momentarily drop PLEX prices

While doing some exploration earlier I got a BPC for a Capital Gravity Capacitor Upgrade II.

The weirdest thing is that the BPC isn't completely worthless. Contracts for that BPC still go for a couple million isk which means someone must be buying them and producing capital sized scanning rigs. So now the real question is, who the hell is fitting their capital ship for scanning?

I do know now...and it is no fun to scoop them up slowboating in a carrier.

That is all I wanted to say

Now that my Golem has fallen victim to the increased bastion cycle time (RIP) what should be my next nullsec ratting ship? Go the cheap route and use Ishtars or rather all-in with a ratting carrier?

As was expected the Tranquility Trading Tower in Permimeter was destroyed. I couldn't be there to see the big explosion (and a lot of TiDi I guess). Anyone been there?

Golem looks awesome. Had to try it out even though the increase in bastion cycle time made me a little bit nervous. Here's another shot:

And the torpedo effects are cool too:

What do you think? What do you like (or dislike) in this expansion?

So better get your stuff out or you will have to fetch it from asset safety (and pay for extracting your stuff). Maybe check if you got some high value clones there, could be worth getting them out too.
