EVE Solo PvP: Phoenix vs Horde of over 100 

Thank you, I am really glad you enjoyed it.

just started eve again after 10 years because of your old videos,.. love em@@LaskerEmanuelEVE

@@nug4table Thank you man, I hope you enjoy the hell out of it.

I love when you are a system by yourself and the overview fills up with a sea of red, it's a wonderful sensation of anticipation.

They are enthusiastic about for you..

*comforts :D

Thank you. I personally enjoy other videos more when people translate what is going on in their heads. I try to follow suit.

Not a bad idea man, thank you for watching.

That or could you link a battle report in the description, would love to see all the kills in detail. Great content.

@@aaronnoble4945 Really late on this but the killmail wasn't so hard to find. At least I think it's the right one. zkillboard.com/kill/70117878/ Battle report is here: zkillboard.com/related/30002440/201805220000/

Thank you man, I really appreciate the kind words. Enjoy that coffee!

Thanks man, good fight.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed!

MrGrubee48cc he is located too close to the gate, he need to warp in 10km

Thank you man, I am very glad you enjoyed! It ended up being a ton of DPS on field towards the end. As they get more ships and the pressure builds I could feel the weight of it, although held up longer than I thought I would. When is your next video going to come out?

Thank you very much, I am very glad you enjoyed. I really like the 1 v Many big ship vs blop gameplay style, I think it is a lot of fun.

Thank you!

I tend to fly fits that focus a lot on application, but I feel like Phoneix application is very strong in general. Highly recommend giving it a try.

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed!

I thought I would like it a great deal, but found it not nearly as good as I thought it would be. For one thing it takes a ton of mental cycles to operate, for another, it burns through 3200s FAST. I will go back to non-ancil for the next one.

I think the mental cycles is just something you'd eventually get used to, much like flying a non-ancil is to you now. Me personally, I don't have a real preference one way or another, just recall a lot of people recommending you try it and it's always neat to see someone trying something new to themselves, especially in EVE. Definitely was getting nervous watching your 3200s # going down and very quickly, and those reload cycles were pretty nail biting at times lol. Makes me want to crosstrain to a Phoenix!

Thank you very much, the kind words are much appreciated.

Thank you very much and congrats on your first HAW Dread fight! I personally think they are a ton of fun, my favorite ship class in the game.

Thank you!

@@LaskerEmanuelEVEwill you ever do another one? I’d happily watch that video 10 times over just like all the other ones

Ah thank you so much for the kind words! I definitely have a ton of mistakes, and like you say, it's just all about increasing the ability to make good decisions under pressure. I am very glad you enjoyed, if you ever want to talk shop I am happy to.

Ouch, my hull. Thanks man, appreciate the kind words.

Thank you!

@Gambit27 nahh fam. just observing.

Thank you man, glad you enjoyed!

Yeah, at the end with so many dudes on grid the pressure felt crushing. I was glad I was able to get a brawl out of it.

Thank you very much!

It is a lot of fun. It's also a lot of fun to share, I am glad you enjoyed!

Thanks man, glad you like it!

Thank you very much

That's called the *AOE* , short for *Area of Effect* damage

I'm pretty sure titans used to but they removed it because it had a performance impact on large battles

Yeah, I was worried about the big stuff catching Reps, but you are right, I should have at least tried the Hype as a target. Ever fight I feel like I get a little better a the mechanics, but yeah, it's a ton of stuff to keep track of.

Yeah man you were wrecking the battleships when targeting them as most of your DPS applied. The praxis was getting reps but melted.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words!

Yep, great point. Logistics did not work out to have the in place when I decided to go, but it's a great point.

Thank you for the kind words. The skills are definitely not all Vs, it's mostly IVs and Vs, with perhaps a handful of lower skills mixed in. I have spent a lot of time working on micro management, but of course their are always improvements to be made.

Thank you!

I don't have a ton of Titan advice, it's pretty different, because I was comfortable losing a dread and mostly titan pilots don't feel that way. Most people who fly supers do so in super fleets, and do so under the command of super fleet FCs. When I flew a dead, I almost always knew who had capital supremacy in a given system I planned to be in, often I knew who their cap FCs were, if they were on, and how long it would take to form. I was sometimes ok being caught, but it was mostly not by surprise. All of the above all the more so for a titan, which is SO much more ISK on grid.

I am very glad you are enjoying the videos! Mostly in EVE you want to tank your ship in either shield or armor (or hull). Ships have bonuses to one or another tank type, and when you spend slots on something like a resist mod, they generally apply to either armor or shield. Their are rare cases where it pays off to dual tank a ship, but they generally apply in certain odd situations. Side note Answer: In some cases their is chat going on that I prefer not to share (While I was in CVA I was in a number of leadership channels, sometimes things were said not for public consumption). I also need an area on the screen to put comments, and that part seems as good as any. 1. I have done a kill count a couple of times, the Moros video and one other I think. It looks great, but it's a bunch of work to setup since each line item is a separate artifact in the video editing software. Invariably I get them out of sync with the rest of the video and have to spend a bunch of time fixing them. You are right though, it looks great. 2. I have had friends join me from time to time, one of the problems is that while a Dread can hang out with 50 hostile subcaps on grid, not a lot else can (without a boatload of logi) and so you have to pick something that is not just going to get blaped. I have through it might be fun to have a gang with a couple of max range Jackdaws hang out with a HAW Dread, the Dread can tank the gang and the Jackdaws can stay alive because they can stay so far from the action. Maybe have a ceptor too to provide warp ins. 3. Capital ships can fit cloaking devices, but it reduces your scan res, which raises the already incredibly long lock time (and eats up a valuable utility high). Typically if you want to "surprise" people with more force you use a cyno rather than a cloak. The problem with that is a single HAW dread can't hold a gang on field, they only stay because they want to, so it does not make great bait. I tend to try to setup fights that my opponents want to take, and then try to play that fight well, rather than surprise them with more force than expected (which is also a common strategy)

It's funny, my "shakes" are pretty mild in dreads now, but when I get solo battleship fights my heart is racing a mile a minute. Something about it being different...

I think Phoenix is the strongest, but honestly they are all fun.

Sadly crystal implants don't work with capital ships, so the most obvious candidate is out. If you have an empty pod, you can test roll drugs, and if you don't like the side effects you can pod yourself, do it again. Look forward to hearing about your first dread brawl.

ah, that makes a lot of sense with the empty pod then. Thanks for the reply.

Mostly I feel the need for the neut to help with tracking on a turret dread. On the Phoenix... maybe. I have the idea on the too be tried list. The Anci setup definitely requires a lot of mental cycles to make it work.

Well at least no blues were whoring this time haha!

I really dont feel a single smartbomb is ever worth it on any fit really. Heavy nuet is way more value. Peels tackle and nuets small ships pretty hard. One smart bomb just isnt really good enough to get rid of heavy drones. and light and med drones just arnt that big a deal for these ships.

Would have.

Will Whyatt no ofc its only 300 drones on average. Why would u want to get rid of them. They cause only very small dmg to capitals 😜✌️😂

Thank you, glad you enjoyed.

The siege/bastion module locks you in place, so you can't move about or warp off, but it also gives a big bonus to local reps. The shield/armor repairer gives you more shield/armor, but consumes cap in the process, so you have a cap booster to keep it fed.

Glad you enjoyed the music, not sure what sound torps make. Boom Boom?

he was 11kms off the gate though, he would have died way before getting even close enough to jump through, there was noway out of that.

ah yea, my bad, I thought he had drifted himself back to gate, never mind :)

Thanks man, very glad you enjoyed! How are things in FW of late?

Pretty good. Had a serious Conan Exiles binge recently so I need to get back into space ;)

It takes a bunch of time, I have something between 2 and 3 thousand frigate fights in lowsec when I was trying to learn to not panic, manage mods, heat etc. When I first started doing HAW dreads I was much worse, you can build up over time and improve. I have never streamed, but it's on the list of things I want to try (although to be honest, I don't really have the mental cycles to spare to talk about the fight while it's happening, at least not yet).

I am sure CCP would frown on the account sharing. It's just a practice question, as you get better it comes more naturally.

HAHA! Wait.. so it's possibly against the rules to use two keyboards on the same client on the same PC. Heh, sounds like CCP! I'm sure your going to pick up that tank/cap/target management (your currently level is awesome btw) but still will be a fun take to see two people try to manage one big ship with open mic on a fight like that... Thanks for the upload!

Thank you very much. If you keep working towards it, you absolutely can do it some day. Added the music to the description of the video.

Lasker Emanuel thanks for the encouragement . I saw your older videos with nag rev and Phoenix . So out of curiosity , which one do you think is he best HAW platform ? I absolutely love rev’s look but it seems nag is better with its better tracking and called guns?

I did not, this was a fun fight, but it was bad from an ISK efficiency standpoint, something like 1.2 killed to 4ish lost.

Thank you!

Ha! I hope it lived up to expectations

100%

I have actually thought about it, although I have nothing written.

Best thing about an open world sandbox, you can do some really cool stuff in it. I hope you get a chance to do awesome things.

Are you ever going to post a new video like this? I think I ran out of yours to watch ;0

@@ForgetfulSloth Perhaps, at the moment I am not really healthy enough to play, so I don't have more EVE adventures to share, but who can say what the future will hold...

Glad you enjoyed!

Like, mental bandwidth or ability to multitask. Can only do so many things at one time. Very glad you enjoyed!
