On this episode of Cap Stable: the reign of ISBoxer Bombers is coming to a close, What’s up in Catch between HERO and PL.?, all the Rhea gooey goodness and much more!

Bhock

  • Trucking, Marketing, Dieing in a Blaze (and missing the kill), Welcoming newbros, and eating turkey, more turkey… just finished the turkey ! I need more beer to soak that heavy stomach feeling
  • Getting ready for my promotion and the extra work that comes with it
  • Giving thanks to my wife, daughter and friends
  • And getting bombed in HED… domis are magnets for IsBombers (for 4 more weeks)

Lanc

  • Turkey gravy overdosing or what happens when you cook three turkeys over three consecutive days (Explanation of Thanksgiving aka Gluttony Day for non Americans)
  • Fever dreams: So I got really sick the day after Thanksgiving with a 100 degree fever and man was EVE super trippy when your sick
    • Evidently I helped kill an Aeon and an Archon
    • Am I seeing this right?  Mighty PL cowering in a POS?  Hiding from a frigate fleet?
    • How much is RusRus paying you?
    • Calling the evac of corp non combat assets (AGAIN)
    • YOLOing in an Impel? Recklessly jumping into systems with no regard for safety.
    • Oh and I HATE you STEAM.  Trying to take all my moneys
  • A note to all you new fleet pilots.  More of a warning.  When on operations you can either hang out with the logi bros or deal with maddening, migrane inducing chatter of the DPS comms.

 

Turbo

  • Ganking in highsec and testing different ships for the best Isk trade.
  • buying all the things i started my 4th account which will get canceled once im done with the 30 day training and i use the GoG plex deal i got to transfer it off the account.
  • Ive been testing manual flight controls, PBR “not the beer thank god, Thera is too bright for my tastes, and the new sites are a lot of fun, the new UI is really good all in all i like all the new changes.
  • Im getting my scanning skills up to par and making sure that i had hacking 5 and better skills to scan with.

StupidGenius

  • Strat Op, Strat Op, Strat Ops.
  • Being slow at Space Truckin, then having to move everything BACK

EVE Tip or Tool of the Week

CCP Falcon – Newbro Twitch Initiative announced on twitter

Newbro resource kit

 

Newbro Tip of the week

  • Bigger is not always better: do not rush to bigger ships; often the most fun per hour is in smaller hulls
  • High SP = Versatility + ISKies… not more powerful
  • train your core skills and do specialize at the beginning, instead of being bad at everything (like Bhock)

 

Tweeter Newbro Tips of the week (from Yanarfal)

  • Spread your attributes out evenly & save your remaps. You’ll end up training all sorts of skills in your first year
  • Training lvl 5 in a skill is rarely worth it when you start unless it’s a gateway for another skill or module

 

EVE NEWS

Lore: A super nova getting brighter in Jove Space? Or linked to Sansha unusual activity? You can get all the good (and some extra speculative) lore on the Hydrostatic Podcast special on Rhea, from our friend of the show Phyridean.

The end of input broadcasting (ISBoxer) for multiple accounts (enforced on Jan 1st 2015)

  • Best tweet from Mike Azeriah :
    • I am confused, are a lot of people complaining about the isboxer changes or one guy with a LOT of accounts?
  • Drop in PLEX prices… and plenty of alt characters on sale in the Bazaar

Small Beam changes

Small Pulse and Scorch changes

5 star iTunes review from Ty42

My life was meaningless until I found this podcast.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you guys for doing your podcasts. I was struggling to find a way to make my daily hour commute into work more productive, and the CapStable podcast has kept me suitably entertained. Not only do I get to hear about EVE, but more importantly the HERO Coalition specifically.

After I’ve gone through all the back catalogue, my only gripe will be that you guys don’t produce it five days a week!

7o, AIEUbros
