Blockade Runners & Deep Space Transports || EVE Online 

Yup!!

Exactly this!

Won’t you show up on grid for a second though? Someone can try to get in range and de cloak?

@@shilohwelch9626 Yes you will, but I don't know of any way to avoid that. Using the MWD+Cloak trick would be the same, only you'd be in space, cloaked, for the 10-second MWD cycle before warping off.

Correct, merely a slip of the tongue 😅

One of my favourite industrial ships!!

Glad you're enjoying the video and the ship!!

Primae

It kinda annoys me honestly that after all this time they still have left most of these basic specialty haulers as Gallente-only

Same here.

Same here, but I started with a Miasmos & Kryos for mining ore & ice. Kept going with Gallente.

@@Arthion yeah, but ammar dst can be significantly more tanky. So there is still a reason to SP other nations if you bother...

Glad it was helpful!

@@captainbenzie Fits are solid, thank you.

I did try to, but couldn't find a decent gatecamp to even run 😅 typical really. Couldn't find one when you try to, get caught when you don't want to

It's not easy to escape once you're caught. It takes practice developing the reaction time and muscle memory to notice you've been interdicted, engage your nullifier, and warp out before being pointed. If you have a corp, you can always do some "safe" practice runs with them to help build those skills. When you're successful, it feels really good escaping a gate camp and subsequent chase. Don't ask how it felt losing a Viator carrying a Tengu, fittings, and loot totaling 1.3B in the 2 minutes before downtime on the last jump out of null tho.....

Excellent and glad you're doing well!

Glad to help!!

Glad you enjoyed!

Haha thank you ☺️

Give your name and usual route, and I will make sure you have blue standings!!11

Never too late to give great tips! ☺️

Blockade Runners are sneaky and can sail through blockades without being seen. Deep Space Transports are tanky because they're often used in mining ops too due to the Fleet Hangar so need to survive the rats etc. That's how I always saw it, at least. Glad you're enjoying the videos, and yeah, I'm really enjoying hauling! Great fun running gatecamps. I just love high risk gameplay though I suck at PvP.

Nah blockade runners are fast and sneaky ships that can slip through a blockade. Warships would be the ones that have to muscle their way through it. The best example of blockade runners in a real world context are the Confederate ones used in the American Civil War. With union sail driven warships blockading major Confederate ports to stifle trade with Europe, the solution the Confederates came up with was to make a bunch of fast steamships that would evade the blockading union warships by sailing against the wind under their own power, where the wind powered warships could not follow. Blockade runners in eve follow this example by evading conflict rather than enduring it. As for deep space transports, their classification would make sense if they ever actually got used for their intended purpose, that being logistics support. This is the reason why they have a large fleet hangar instead of a large cargo hold. DSTs were intended to be used to carry supplies and ammunition for fleets operating remotely for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, player combat just never really took this form. Whenever large player corporations are going to be operating remotely for a while they will just anchor a staging structure to base their logistics out of.

This man talking about the cloak/MWD warp trick in reference to a cov ops cloak ship, and you nitpick about the nullifier thing? (That trick is for ships that can't cloak and warp at the same time, simply cloaking and warping with no MWD is purely better on this ship. Nevermind it was equipped with an AB >.>)

You can and should activate the nullifier while gate cloaked. The nullifier can expire while you're aligning and you'll still warp. It only checks when you click the warp button. This is different than the WCS which checks both on Warp button and after aligning when you actually enter warp.

Haha yeah! I feel the Prowler fits the Space Train aesthetic too!

The Prowler looks awesome! Not a fan of the Gallente or Amarr ones, but I do like Caldari Haulers too!

Awesome ship!

Absolutely agree with this!

Really glad to help!!

Great to hear!

Great usage!

Glad you enjoyed!

Happy to oblige!

Good luck and have fun!!

Best of luck!

Prowler and Mastodon just sound so badass 😅

Thank you! 😂

Btw, for a DST off the gate should not exceed the 10sec.

The trick is to never get caught, else you receive a kill mail! Going with your daring fits (no modules) - why put a tank in a DST? Prefer to haul a shuttle with me, to scout out systems ahead (LS/Null/more challeging in WH's though)

Hope you enjoy and happy to help!

Honestly, the Prowler is probably my favourite hauler visually 😅

@@captainbenzie It does look nice all things considered, but CCP is pretty good about updating ships while staying true to the original design. I think they could give it a good facelift

DST can't warp cloaked so you should use it there. Didn't mean to mention Blockade Runners 😅

...or set up an instadock

@@captainbenzie yup :D

I'm not in Nullsec ;)

Just be careful with smartbomb campers. It is possible to get hit with carefully timed smartbombs while you are still decelerating from warp. I was in an interceptor full of similar loot and got insta-popped and podded in lowsec before I even landed on the gate.

Interceptors are easy: Warp to ping above gate, dscan, jump if clear. if nullsec, the same, but when you jump use nullifier, or if you are bubbled on the other side. They're the easiest ships to get around with. make good use of sub 2s align with mods and a cloak, mwd and nullifier.

How to do what, sorry?

@captainbenzie how to, I mean how to use it in action to get off gatecamps etc 🙂

I'd never use an AB over a MWD as you can't do the MWD/Cloak trick with it, and in a real pinch, you can also do the cloak/MJD trick too if I'm in a bubble. It helps you get out of dangerous situations quickly.

The MJD also gets you out of bubbles even when disrupted. Sure, worthless when SCRAMMED but that doesn't always happen.

@@captainbenzie why I use dual prop, MWD and AB. You can do a cloak/MDJ trick? Didn't know that.

@@BrunoMoozika dual prop is also now eating into tank. Having an AB active increases your mass, ergo your inertia.

@@captainbenzie if I'm just being disrupted I can just warp out, don't need a MJD. In 99% of the cases if anyone is gonna bother with a DST they are packing with scramblers, multiple.

Glad to be of help! And yes, cont join our Discord (linked below) and apply there!!

😂 can't use them in our wormhole though!

Technically Occator wasn't a God, he was an assistant to Ceres often mistranslated as a God. And a Mastadon was more than an elephant, it was a primordial megafauna 😉 (Minmatar fanboy mode, go!)

@@captainbenzie I see... we have a values issue here. :-D When I know that some animal for you is cooler that someone assosiated with gods, a lot of what you are saying start making more sence. Not that I agree with you! I just see where it comes from. :-P

@@Shorrey stepping out of character for a moment, I do genuinely prefer the Nordic, primal, and weaponry names of Minmatar. Give me a Vagabond, Vargur, Sabre, Muninn etc any day 😉 Probably why I like Caldari too, like Tengu, Kitsune, Drake etc. And Guristas. I'm not a big fan of religious symbolism, whether Amarrian or Gallentean classical Greek reference 😉

@@captainbenzie @captainbenzie living in Sweden, I like names like Moonin, Nidhogour, Sleipnir and all those. In general, i like the naming in this game, disregarding if it has religeous background or not. Talking about design though... I also have to step away from my character... :-D Coz i have a lot of questions to Gallente designs!

@@Shorrey I also live up north and while the ancient nordic names speak to me, i just cannot resist the designs of the Gallente ships.I just love how they're organic looking and sometimes slightly asymmetrical.

Yup, have done on all the upcoming ones, just forgot on this one... 😅

😂

EHP only matters if you're caught

I'm in a wormhole corp. We have stations.

Exactly this! It's the adrenaline rush that's addicting.

@@captainbenzie I came back to the game recently after a long break and discovered the hard way what T2 Dreads are like, my JF got lanced coming back into high sec. Didn't care about the loss but my adrenaline was super high the whole time.

@@handlesaresuperghey yup, those things are SCARY!!

Ooo now i see .. thats why many people have Super Ships / Titans/ SuperCarriers....cheating may be part of the game where multiboxing trive ..;) when Bug is there ....sooner or later will be explloyted .

Nah, I've been playing on and off since 2012. Jumped back in properly in April 2022, but the last few months are where I've been focusing on content, hence so many SP and ship options 😉

@@Spiritt_Daphiti what the fuck are you talking about? he doesn't mean that type of bug. he means bug as colloquialism of catching an illness. and he's using catching an illness as a colloquialism as he's having a lot of fun with wormholing. there's no cheating going on.

E X A C T L Y

Nice

I'm just talking about it in this video, I showcase it specifically elsewhere

@@captainbenzie Oh okay gotcha. Yeah I saw your MWD trick video. Thanks for the good content Benzie!

Yeah, MWD/Cloak trick is more for DSTs.

Yep subscribed finally an eve tuber who actually shows useful information and not just hang out on the test server all dam day

Huffing is one of the best activities. For some reason I really love it. Reminds me of mowing the lawn. It's work that is relaxing.

Haha thank you 🤣

Yeeeeeeeuuuuuuup

That's the DST, not the BR

@@captainbenzie Ok then you have to explain your hauling idea. 1. Why do you have a cloak and care about align time? You are supposed to be aligning while cloaked. 2. Align time has no connection with the nullifier. You are supposed to click it When you are ready to jump so why does the 13 seconds matter? When are you clicking your nullifier?

Yes, but you're visible for literally 1 second.
