I watched some Sabine and got suspicious pretty quickly and those suspicions turned out to be correct.

shut up tinskin

why not just stop being fat and disgusting for a start

The people saying that pvp ships do better with ops are right because you want heavy upfront tank and big dps weapons without much regard to long-term sustain. Packhounds are useful for taking out kestrel drives but you have to be careful that you don't yeet the kestrel mid boost and it flies away forever. You also have to synth ammo for those.

I messed with a build for a bit and I came up with this: https://tinyurl.com/operations-chally

The weapons are interesting. I tried to fit railguns with gimbaled multies but the power consumption was too high to maintain a good shield tank. I switched to gimbaled multies and fixed cascade cannons and that worked out. The cascade raises npc heat and makes them want to stop boosting, shooting or banking.

You should have the cannons and multicannons on 1 and 2 and the two banks on power priority 4 on another firegroup with the heatsink. When you're out of ammo with the first set of banks, you turn on the two 4A banks and the first pair shuts off automatically. You then single fire the second pair of banks with no sink using the bank hotkey.

Spec grade 4 is cooler and therefore better but you can probably get away with grade 3. Hulltanking is not optimal in operations as the npcs will missilespam your weapons away. You should end up with around 10,300 raw mj of shields and almost 13,300 mj of thermal shield. Just stay on top of banking and you'll do pretty well.

I went with lightweight reactive hull cuz all the new ships are hella fast and I wanted you to keep up at least a little bit. You could theoretically run pure lightweight heavy duty deep plating hull and switch the 1D hull reinforcement to heavy duty deep plating.

Good luck o7!

spanking the monkey

The thing is, though, that the scawny kid didn't get "dragged" into the football field, he chose to enter himself. The good thing about this game for the gankee though is that it is much easier for him to escape than it is for a ganker to secure a kill. It's more like playing tag but the people who are avoiding getting tagged have a motorcycle, but they're just choosing not to use it. The analogy, like any other, obviously falls apart scrutiny and nitpicking but when in the context of the other analogies I provided the gist of it remains true; people flying in populated systems in open are entering a competitive environment and are always surprised somehow when heads get knocked together.

The admiration you have for the groups that roleplay lawful is kind of silly because they aren't "making wrongs right" by pvping with "outlaws" they're just having fun shooting people same as us. The roleplay doesn't go very deep and they all gank same as everyone else. This is because ganking, not necessarily griefing, is not morally wrong of the player and all pvp pilots know this from experience. It's a videogame with a competitive environment like Call of Duty is.

I have a lot of personal experience with Spear and let me tell you logging IP addresses is only the very surface of what they did and are doing. Just last month actually cmdr Butthole Jenkins's FaceBook was contacted by one of them and they have harassed the real lives of numerous people that I know personally.

The difference between groups like 13th and Spear is that 13th's roleplay is just that. It's roleplay and they are chill with us as just fellow pvpers who we like to shoot. It's all a game. Spear takes it way too far and that's why I can never agree with your position. I've seen it played out over and over. The people who take ganking as a moral wrong of the actual individuals playing the game inevitably without fail always become the most toxic parts of the community.

Griefers are stupid. I've never ganked some noob at Dromi and the majority of pvpers don't have time for that. There are griefers in every game. Groups like Spear are orders of magnitude worse. They do not treat this like a game and their leader, who has had multiple accounts banned, has yet another one that we're trying to get banned as well for the sake of everyone's personal safety in the community.

The competition in ganking lower grade users still exists because it is extremely easy to high wake on someone as opposed to ganking someone. Wings of 4 fdls are pvp pilots not specifically bent on ganking unless it's TFCB and Andy Polaris. Nobody else really does that in populated systems.

Cmdr everybody ganks. The people who call it morally wrong doxxed my friends so I know the outcome of that train of thought played out a hundred times. The philosophy you're trying to argue has already been exercised and every single time it is, people's real lives get interfered with in absolutely inappropriate ways. It is never right and I will never agree with that position because I know where it leads personally. Lawful roleplay is fine and funny sometimes. They don't take it seriously. They gank too. Every pvp group ganks bar none. You can't tell me that every single pvp pilot is morally flawed for doing so that's ridiculous.

It is a mistranslation obviously.

Pronunciation: "Qa-NeH"

Meaning: To build a nest.

Comments: This child root is a nest builder, one who builds a nest such as a bird. Also God as in Bereshiyt (Genesis) 14.19; "God most high creator (qaneh) of sky and earth". The English word "create" is an abstract word and a foriegn concept to the Hebrews. While we see God as one who makes something from nothing (create), the Hebrews saw God like a bird who goes about acquiring and gathering materials to build a nest (qen), the sky and earth. The Hebrews saw man as the children (eggs) that God built the nest for.

The word "create" (as defined in the ex-Nihlo sense which is what most Christians think when they see it) should not be in the scriptures - a better translation is "transform/organize/mold" not "create".

7 I form the light, and transform darkness: I make peace, and transform evil: I the LORD do all these things.

God transforms darkness into light, He transforms evil into peace. He does not create darkness, He does not create evil - He tranforms them into something better.

As for the state of Adam and Eve before the fall, they existed in a state of innocence, not that good and evil didn't exist, but that they had no comprehension of either. This was also our state before we came to the earth. The problem with this state is that there is no way to become happy, or to grow into something greater than what we already are. We chose to progress and be able to choose good from evil in hopes that we would choose good and become happy.

Worship of God serves no function other than to make oneself more like God. To become more like God is to become happier and become a better version of oneself. God wants us to worship Him so we can "grow up," become more like Him and experience the same joy He experiences.

Haha everyone here does not know how to react to this post.

The Latter Day Saints believe in a pre-mortal existence. That was when Satan rebelled against God.

Are you a Mormon, OP?
