Since Eve is a game for people who find Excel spreadsheets and numbers fun, what kind of FPS is this gonna be?

First you make an Excel spreadsheet
Then you benchmark every weapon and attachment in the game
Then you optimize to make the perfect build to use in battle
And get headshot in 0.2 seconds right out of spawn
At EVE FanFest in Iceland today, they were talking for a bit about the new Excel plugin. It's supposed to make it easier for people to make their crazy market spreadsheets by hitting the API from within Excel.
That said, I don't use spreadsheets, and I don't think most players do. Unless you choose to go hard on market manipulation or something, it's not necessary.
Just a shame I haven't actually played EVE since 2014. My 80 mil SP character just collecting dust with my horde of corpses
There's a Mobile Tractor Unit structure you can deploy from your ship that slowly pulls in wrecks within 125km. The 202 Halloween added a Blood Raiders version that pulls in only capsuleer corpses! https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mobile_structures#Mobile_Tractor_Unit
The Blood Raider titan also has a dedicated Corpse Bay! https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Molok
Dreddit is Recruiting if you're looking to get back in. We just took some Sov again and are having a fantastic time. If you do stop by the recruiting Discord, tell 'em Claytonius sent you.
Ah nice! So my old ways of doing things (alt in destroyer with 4 tractor beam and 4 salvager) seems obsolete now.
So the way it works is it'll pull all the wrecks right up to it, and loot any modules or ammo or whatever was dropped. The wrecks themselves just sit there gathered on the MTU (mobile tractor unit) for you to salvage if you want.
There's also a salvaging ship now, the No this, but it doesn't see a ton of use because everyone knows it's easy pickins.
Fuck, I'm tempted but I have next to no free time these days. Last battle I was in was so much fun even if I was in a Guardian. I remember it started over some carriers trying to destroy a kestrel or something small like that and then we cyno'd in a fleet. Got a CTA and grabbed my closest ship. There was 1200 or so in local, took like 20 sec just to click on someone to try and heal em
Awesome. Well, if you want to try it's a great time to be in TEST. EVE in general has had a few good updates in a row too.
Never could break into EVE but I guess it's never too late.
Heck yeah! I'm in Dreddit, the founding corp in TEST Alliance, and we have a mentorship program, free ships/skillbooks/etc program, and a no-nonsense help channel. It's a great place to learn how to play or re-learn after a hiatus. We're in Soverign Null Security Space, which is where all those big EVE stories come from.
For a solid moment I thought this was a bot comment advertising something XP
Not a bot, but I suppose I AM advertising! Recruiting is one of my "space jobs".
[ohgod]
But seriously.. i burned out of EVE many moons ago, just too grindy.
