| 11s | how's everyone how's everyone doing oh |
| 16s | there we go |
| 18s | get this off right welcome to Toronto |
| 23s | this is gonna be my talk on adapting for |
| 30s | those of you new to these I've caught at |
| 33s | the sometimes slightly bonkers world of |
| 35s | badly fitting ships and getting away |
| 37s | with it this is also my first time in |
| 41s | Canada so as you can see I've dressed |
| 43s | for the part as someone has actually |
| 47s | mistaken me for a Mountie today so that |
| 49s | was pretty satisfying so i'm baltic one |
| 54s | i'm a bit of vet of 13 years in this |
| 57s | game and i'm also a member of pandemic |
| 61s | horde if you enjoy aggressively fading |
| 65s | or if you have a spare spy old feel free |
| 67s | to give him the publication today i |
| 71s | don't know i'm gonna give you a walk |
| 73s | well many of you recognize my name it |
| 77s | comes from a doctrine that many people |
| 81s | may have flown in that's not actually |
| 85s | something i cooked or they just named it |
| 88s | after me because i was stubborn and flew |
| 89s | the thing constantly so it was it was |
| 93s | something that they had to sort with |
| 95s | named after me apparently now i'm going |
| 99s | to give you a warning i take absolutely |
| 101s | no responsibility for anyone actually |
| 103s | following this advice so don't hear me |
| 106s | if you get kicked from your lines |
| 107s | because he decided to turn a titan to |
| 109s | super heavy fast tackle it does but i |
| 114s | don't blame me for that one so ship |
| 118s | fitting it's a complicated business you |
| 121s | got thousands of monster choose from |
| 122s | dozens upon dozens of ships so there's |
| 126s | an awful lot of ways to make it an |
| 128s | absolute mess of things and accidentally |
| 131s | go down in history as this poor sod did |
| 134s | this is the original my raven was fitted |
| 137s | with a follow |
| 138s | a man that went down in legend for all |
| 142s | the wrong reasons |
| 144s | now this tends to put off people from |
| 147s | trying new things because the door want |
| 151s | to be that guy but um of the solve like |
| 157s | opinion that's it's perfectly fine to be |
| 159s | that guy |
| 160s | at least the lawyer and this tensor |
| 165s | solve like bring about people thinking |
| 167s | well I'm just gonna copy what everybody |
| 170s | else does and that W goes down for when |
| 173s | it comes down to Alliance fits all those |
| 175s | very good reasons to follow the fitting |
| 177s | of your Alliance leaders please follow |
| 179s | the fitting advice of your Alliance |
| 181s | leaders and fleets and we wind in in or |
| 188s | large organizations you've got people |
| 190s | they'll actually sit there in a theory |
| 192s | craft for pretty much the entire time |
| 195s | that they're not fighting on the |
| 196s | battlefield and it can be irritating to |
| 201s | them when you've got some numpty that |
| 203s | shows up in a ship that doesn't exactly |
| 206s | fit the fleet composition let's be on |
| 211s | top of me here but for me |
| 215s | fitting ships to do things that they're |
| 217s | not supposed to be doin is all the fun |
| 219s | in this game and a lot of people think |
| 225s | when it comes to adapting it just means |
| 227s | picking another ship to counter another |
| 230s | ship for example caracals taking on |
| 232s | frigate so swapping around fittings on a |
| 239s | single hull to meet new challenges is |
| 242s | not something you see an awful lot saw |
| 247s | I'm going to go through the last half a |
| 249s | year of me it ups in my mega thorns to |
| 252s | do things they probably shouldn't be |
| 254s | doing and we're gonna start off with the |
| 258s | fleet the fleets are probably the first |
| 262s | thing you think about when joining an |
| 263s | alliance it's the most obvious thing |
| 265s | that you say and more likely everybody |
| 269s | in this room has been in trouble at some |
| 271s | point |
| 272s | for bringing the wrong thing off it in |
| 274s | the wrong mod on a shipper and says |
| 276s | you're honza who's done not say |
| 280s | everybody who hasn't put their hand up |
| 281s | is a damn liar now the last thing the FC |
| 288s | wants is some idiot showing up in a |
| 290s | random ship so of course I am that idiot |
| 293s | so I'm going to show you what I've got |
| 294s | weird with the first stop is Phou ox |
| 299s | plate now this is one of the more fun |
| 300s | flakes I've been on for quite some time |
| 303s | now the general idea behind them is |
| 306s | straight up throw them at the enemy |
| 308s | blaster we're in a classic sort of meat |
| 311s | grinder where the losers decide by who |
| 314s | runs out of bodies first or I'm walk |
| 317s | firm favourite of leadership the world |
| 321s | over three old time now since Christmas |
| 327s | hardened tests have been thrown these at |
| 329s | each other over well keep stars in |
| 334s | highsec and honu thus fighting wars in |
| 340s | high sec could be so much fun I |
| 342s | certainly didn't so quickly kill hooks |
| 346s | up what's called the feral thorn it's |
| 352s | not the prettiest fit I'll agree where |
| 355s | but the problem of getting an armored |
| 357s | tank in battleship to become a shield |
| 359s | tank in battle cruiser that warm cup of |
| 362s | salt it requires a fair bit of |
| 364s | creativity first issue is speed now I've |
| 369s | got a very very simple rule for when |
| 371s | doing this the ship must either match or |
| 373s | be better than the fleet that's taken |
| 376s | part in its golden rule that it has to |
| 378s | be that and warp space is one of the |
| 382s | biggest problems that you can have find |
| 384s | with bigger ships because it impacts the |
| 386s | entire plate so what I did here was I |
| 390s | used some of those valuable rigged slots |
| 393s | with a pair of hyperspatial rigs and now |
| 397s | all the ferox the floor to slow me down |
| 400s | next up we shield tank this armored tank |
| 403s | ship which is fairly easy done |
| 406s | even if there's not a lot of not a lot |
| 407s | of room to fit one in there and what we |
| 414s | end up with is let's face it it's not a |
| 418s | fantastically tank to ship for a |
| 420s | battleship but it's in the rough |
| 423s | ballpark of what a fair works would be |
| 425s | if it's a little bit fatter may also |
| 430s | notice I've put in trucking |
| 432s | instead of max damage that's generally |
| 436s | because when it comes to rail guns the |
| 438s | bigger you go the more likely it's going |
| 440s | to miss the target and probably hit the |
| 442s | Sun wheels aren't that good at tracking |
| 446s | I then had to make sure that I didn't |
| 452s | cut this thing out when you run around |
| 456s | on the battlefield how's the fair work |
| 457s | still fortunately I've put all these |
| 460s | more hair loss loss to play with I'm not |
| 461s | using saw fit in three cut mods there |
| 467s | and it doesn't quite get you to complete |
| 470s | Cup stability but experience tells me |
| 473s | you're not going to be shooting them |
| 474s | guns all the time |
| 475s | so in practice it's got more Cup |
| 479s | stability than the focus of flies with |
| 481s | so if anyone's going to Cup Cup out it's |
| 483s | going to be them now of course being |
| 487s | such a blatant target does come with one |
| 489s | or two drawbacks the biggest pain is |
| 492s | that people will naturally want to kill |
| 494s | the big shiny thing but in the port |
| 498s | being the odd one out the law does come |
| 500s | with an advantage which many pair don't |
| 504s | really think about because a lot of |
| 507s | people when they take on a Farex flate |
| 509s | will have a battle cruiser only an |
| 511s | overview yes |
| 515s | so I suddenly become both the most |
| 519s | obvious ship on the field and also |
| 522s | completely invisible which has saved me |
| 527s | a few times now one of the more |
| 530s | surprising advantages it brings is the |
| 534s | much bigger cargo hold now there is a |
| 536s | bit of logic behind this one how many |
| 539s | people here |
| 540s | found themselves in a surprise structure |
| 542s | off where you've not had the amyl guess |
| 546s | what our stuff for nothing |
| 547s | lots of animal for the plate the fleet |
| 549s | love me now alternatively I can fit a |
| 553s | whole lot of Cup boosters in there The |
| 555s | Lodger wing like me now are they gonna |
| 557s | keep me alive another thing that I feel |
| 562s | like to fit on these is some repair rep |
| 565s | drones so your tackle wing likes you as |
| 568s | well so in strange weird this ship has |
| 572s | managed to master hearts and minds for |
| 574s | the flate so in a roundabout way they |
| 577s | always kind of want you there in the |
| 580s | strange where but am it's not always |
| 587s | this hard to get yourself adapted so for |
| 592s | example you got a bad inflate it's an |
| 595s | armored battleships late so there's not |
| 598s | much room for shenanigans in this one |
| 599s | really is there all you need to do is |
| 601s | just take your ordinary Megatron I find |
| 604s | that a little bit boring so I decided to |
| 608s | do something I've always wanted to try |
| 611s | I'll strap lasers to it and I called it |
| 614s | the laser throne and yes lasers really |
| 619s | do make everything cooler this one |
| 623s | managed to go several plates before |
| 626s | anyone actually notice what I've done it |
| 630s | wasn't until I started firing purple |
| 631s | that people suddenly realized oh hold on |
| 633s | a second |
| 635s | now all the fear for this one is very |
| 638s | simple I took the a button fit I have |
| 641s | just super glued it to the mega throne |
| 645s | absolutely no changes required |
| 649s | now first up is the all-important mega |
| 652s | pulse lasers now these are cup hungry |
| 655s | even on a marsh it's so that does mean |
| 658s | you need to keep them properly fed and |
| 660s | this is done with mixer cup bust cup |
| 663s | batteries a booster and we charger now |
| 668s | with a cup problem solved it's just a |
| 669s | matter of copying the tank over and |
| 672s | there were two things have stood out to |
| 675s | me about this fit the first is just how |
| 677s | easy it was to get lasers to work and |
| 679s | the second one is that the buff to |
| 682s | abandon damage was really needed I was |
| 686s | consistently coming out on top for |
| 688s | damage and that shouldn't have been |
| 690s | happening but flights aren't everything |
| 695s | home defense is probably where the |
| 698s | majority of your content is going to be |
| 700s | found it's also a lot of the fun ones |
| 703s | unfortunately this generally means fast |
| 706s | small stuff which is the exact opposite |
| 709s | of what I fly so this causes a 20d as |
| 719s | matter of kaity |
| 720s | well basically is one of the |
| 724s | biggest problems that I face and one of |
| 727s | the absolute massive problems I faced |
| 730s | came from these little buggers Corum |
| 732s | inflates extremely expandable an |
| 737s | extremely long range and extremely fast |
| 739s | for a battleship now all these tend to |
| 743s | roam around inflators of 20 to 150 ships |
| 746s | and they're an absolute nightmare to |
| 748s | engage if you use in a blast abort |
| 750s | it just means you can't really catch up |
| 753s | to them as I've tried a lot of times so |
| 757s | I came up with a solution |
| 759s | I took a basically take a brick strap |
| 765s | some long range guns to it and you get |
| 768s | the calm and get it |
| 774s | now the tanga straightforward she played |
| 776s | it off no one fights like this buffer is |
| 779s | way more important than tank well so you |
| 783s | have an active reps cuz they'll just |
| 786s | burst through you've reppin the repens |
| 790s | are four to five rails these give you |
| 793s | the range in ease but they do have big |
| 795s | issues with tracking as I've said which |
| 798s | is where the mids come in to trucking |
| 801s | computers generally with the ships |
| 804s | bonuses as well and some late use of |
| 807s | drugs |
| 810s | if give say it gives you the truck in |
| 813s | that you can grab all of them you also |
| 818s | have to wear to see balls in there so |
| 822s | you can actually lock them fast enough |
| 823s | or as well as it turns out keep up with |
| 827s | the range that you of bear fighting that |
| 830s | because when this thing maxes out its |
| 832s | range the tactical map isn't actually |
| 835s | large enough to cover it all which |
| 840s | essentially means my zone of death is |
| 844s | it's it's unbelievably funny so of |
| 853s | course ships like this do come with |
| 855s | large drawbacks and this this one comes |
| 857s | with two very big ones much like a brick |
| 860s | it doesn't move too well so don't expect |
| 865s | to be chasing things down so it's more |
| 868s | or less regular relegated to gear camps |
| 871s | or short trips that are on Spears unless |
| 874s | you like slaw bought into multiple |
| 876s | Bulbul gets but then people do enjoy |
| 878s | mine and so there's probably somebody |
| 880s | out there |
| 886s | the other drawback comes from the rails |
| 889s | when up against very fast small ships |
| 892s | such as frigates what interceptors they |
| 898s | all you have the range to hit them but |
| 901s | sometimes you just can't apply the |
| 902s | damage and that's due entirely down to |
| 905s | the very spooky thing called tracking |
| 910s | now some of this subject does sound like |
| 912s | the title of a very bad nineties action |
| 914s | movie and it's probably one of the least |
| 918s | understood mechanics of the game and I |
| 922s | do apologize but we're gonna have to do |
| 924s | just a little bit of a math saya so to |
| 929s | put simply it works out that you try a |
| 932s | uterus can well track the move by a |
| 935s | moving target the important thing is |
| 937s | that you need to look at this redline |
| 939s | the angular velocity now fortunately you |
| 944s | don't need a binder full of graphs our |
| 947s | memorizer of everything from a custom |
| 950s | spreadsheet the game does actually do a |
| 952s | lot of the heavy lifting for you and one |
| 954s | of the things i will advise you in your |
| 957s | view settings is to get the angular |
| 958s | velocity on there so let's see there's a |
| 963s | frigate with an RS of 0.0025 at 90 |
| 969s | kilometres range I've got a 50/50 chance |
| 972s | of hitting this target double the RS |
| 975s | drops down to about 9% how old if I work |
| 979s | this out all turrets have a tracking |
| 983s | number now this number is different |
| 986s | dependent on skills you fit if you've |
| 988s | got implants on grid boosters or you've |
| 991s | munched a few drugs recently now it's a |
| 995s | very complicated thing and there are |
| 998s | tools thankfully you can goggle to help |
| 1001s | you understand them better than I can |
| 1003s | possibly explain because it just warps |
| 1005s | my mind EVE Online turret calculator is |
| 1009s | a great one and like many things the |
| 1014s | more you practice the more that you get |
| 1017s | good at judging if you can hit the |
| 1019s | target or not |
| 1020s | as many things in EVE now complicated |
| 1025s | mathematics aside this ship is an awful |
| 1028s | lot of fun the comments might not agree |
| 1031s | with that but when it comes to home |
| 1035s | defense and just company get in this is |
| 1038s | an amazing ship but when it comes to |
| 1041s | home defense there is a lot of running |
| 1043s | around and Shearson involved so this is |
| 1047s | where this one comes in the Nano throng |
| 1051s | now this is by far my favorite megathron |
| 1054s | and has been for pretty much the past |
| 1057s | six years or so that have been fair |
| 1059s | concentrating on them and who can't like |
| 1062s | flying a battleship I thinks it's a |
| 1064s | cruiser now this is the modern version |
| 1069s | of the old harpy throne and for those |
| 1073s | that can't remember what a harpy throne |
| 1074s | is and that was a mega throne that was |
| 1077s | designed to be a harpy in harpy flate |
| 1080s | yes it worked and yes it did I know and |
| 1086s | before you pod him to start looking |
| 1087s | they're looking around for me I'm not |
| 1089s | running the harpy fit because that was 2 |
| 1090s | billion this is the torn down version |
| 1094s | the most important thing naturally is |
| 1097s | warp space this ship will be most |
| 1100s | cruisers out there |
| 1103s | which is an issue sometimes because I'm |
| 1106s | sometimes in the very strange situation |
| 1108s | of being the first thing on grid which |
| 1113s | is which is not as something a |
| 1114s | battleship tends to be used say used to |
| 1118s | now to get that speed doesn't need a |
| 1120s | huge amount all you have to do is |
| 1122s | sacrifice all of your rigs the second |
| 1129s | most important thing is a long time now |
| 1133s | this means that you don't find yourself |
| 1135s | left on a get when cruisers warp off now |
| 1139s | on paper this doesn't match a cruisers a |
| 1143s | line time in practice this thing can out |
| 1147s | spear stuber's |
| 1150s | and keep up with an awful lot of |
| 1152s | frigates and destroyers the reason for |
| 1154s | this isn't entirely clear but I'm sure |
| 1157s | would simply tone - because most people |
| 1159s | are really bad at this game this is one |
| 1162s | explanation I've got now well the tank |
| 1165s | is admittedly three mid slots now of |
| 1170s | course it means a shield tank and in |
| 1173s | battleship turns it does make it just |
| 1175s | that little bit squishy it also comes |
| 1180s | with cap mods in this particular fit so |
| 1183s | I can run around forever ruin the |
| 1187s | microwave drive so I can chase things |
| 1190s | down on grid but it's optional I can't |
| 1193s | fit in more tracking I can feel it in |
| 1196s | more damage it really depends on what |
| 1199s | I'm doing at the time and finally like |
| 1202s | the all-important damage is blasters now |
| 1206s | altogether this is a ridiculous ship and |
| 1208s | a lot of fun to fly but there's always |
| 1210s | room for a little bit more madness such |
| 1215s | as the palo throng for those times when |
| 1219s | you want to evaporate whatever is |
| 1220s | unlucky enough you get anywhere this of |
| 1224s | course means polarized blasters which |
| 1228s | comes with the hefty penalties of zero |
| 1230s | resists so with great power comes great |
| 1233s | squishy ability the weapons are almost |
| 1237s | criminally under used outside of things |
| 1240s | like bombers saw thankfully for me that |
| 1243s | means these weapons of mass destruction |
| 1245s | are incredibly cheap now all of these |
| 1251s | fit so far for me at least comfortably |
| 1255s | within the mega thorns range more |
| 1259s | difficult is something like a caracal |
| 1261s | fleet believe it or not now the problem |
| 1264s | with this fleet is the speed that |
| 1267s | they've move at asking a megathron to at |
| 1270s | the very least match them is an |
| 1273s | incredibly hard ask for the ship it's |
| 1277s | not impossible though and for this I |
| 1280s | need my Sapphira paper |
| 1282s | now caracals top out at 1900 meters a |
| 1287s | second and as we can say hey this mega |
| 1289s | thrown baits that just it does come at a |
| 1296s | cost or quite a hefty one to get up to |
| 1300s | speed requires high grades the best |
| 1302s | quality drugs and a squid swig a quiff |
| 1305s | and all of that comes to 2.5 billion at |
| 1309s | least to do the job over 30 to 50 |
| 1313s | million risk ship |
| 1315s | so the question probably is is it worth |
| 1320s | it |
| 1321s | probably not but I've always been |
| 1323s | strange like that now all of this is |
| 1328s | just six months of farting around with |
| 1332s | just one ship and what it is a ship I've |
| 1336s | been tinkering with the seven plus years |
| 1338s | now and there's absolutely no sign of |
| 1341s | running out of new ways to fly it and |
| 1343s | well new ways to break it and this is |
| 1347s | something anyone can do with any ship |
| 1350s | you fancy the look of just be warned it |
| 1355s | can sometimes go incredibly wrong |
| 1364s | so unfortunately I don't have oh I've |
| 1369s | got five minutes left |
| 1370s | no I'll skip that one so if anybody |
| 1375s | wants to ask me questions I'll be |
| 1377s | hanging around there'll be the big party |
| 1379s | tonight it was interesting that one yeah |
| 1383s | very worried that's watching at home bad |
| 1387s | to be you suppose so thank you very much |
| 1390s | for watching and I'll see you next time |
| 1395s | [Applause] |
| 1398s | [Laughter] |
