They got one. It started as an assault frigate roam and ended with <strong>35 titans</strong> on the field in Obe, in about 50 minutes before downtime. <strong>28 of them were Snuffed Out's.</strong></p> <p>A few hours later Hy Wanto told the alliance it was their last fleet.</p>

<p>One of the best posts on r/Eve this week wasn't a war report or another Ansiblex argument. It was a semi-scientific essay about <strong>ratting in an Ishtar</strong>, with control groups, error bars and wreck-distribution charts.</p> <p>The author is <strong>Ziggarot Cadelanne</strong> (<a rel="external" href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Ziggarot/">u/Ziggarot</a>), or "Ziggy", as he asks to be called. All credit for the idea, the fit, the testing and the numbers below goes to him. This is my summary of his work. <a rel="external" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/1wx09rn/the_500mn_ishtars_revolutionary_ratting_method_a/">Go read the original</a> for the charts and his full write-up.</p>

<p>I just wrote about <strong><a href="https://f1m.me/posts/plex-omega-sales/">PLEX, Omega, and EVE Online sales</a></strong> a couple of days ago, and apparently the timing was pretty good — because there is a very strong PLEX sale going on right now.</p>

<p>EVE Online has been around for a very long time.</p> <p>Over those years, a lot of different people, teams, and companies have had input into how the game is monetized. Somewhere along the way, EVE also became very good at <strong>gamifying the pricing of the game itself</strong>.</p> <p>The result?</p> <p>EVE Online seems to have more sales than a furniture or mattress store in the United States.</p>

<p>If you’re a brand-new EVE Online player, I wish I could personally walk you through everything.</p> <p>Unfortunately, I’m a <strong>bitter vet</strong> at this point.</p> <p>I’ve been playing long enough that I’ve forgotten what it feels like to not understand why your overview is trying to kill you, why your ship just exploded, or why everyone keeps telling you to “just use D-scan.”</p> <p>But I can at least point you in the right direction.</p>

<p>Every big null-sec fleet has them. Hundreds of pilots in the same doctrine ship, anchored up on the FC, waiting for one word: <em>primary</em>.</p> <p>Lock. <strong>F1.</strong> Repeat.</p>
