Seeing the Amarr Golden Fleet at the Coronation


Yes, that is my Maller with the white Purity of the Throne SKINS flying around the Amarr Golden Fleet during the coronation of Empress Catiz I on September 27th YC118.

The celestial bean was on Amarr. I saw it when I was selling my duplicate SKINS for about half billion ISK. Ca ching!

Operation Sansha Anoms

After participating in Purity of The Throne complexes, I found that rattings anomalies on High-Sec are doable and enjoyable for alpha clone pilots. Here is what I found based on our EISy doctrine:

  1. Effective: Alpha clone pilots can be effective completing high sec combat anomalies in a solo cruise. Some sites can be cleared effectively by frigates or destroyers. Feel free to abandon the site, if you feel you cannot finish it comfortable. There are plenty of them in the neighbouring system or region.
  2. Improve: Try to reach mastery certificate level 2 or 3 on your choice of racial cruiser or Gnosis battlecruiser. Then fit it with weapons and drones that can hit 30 km from you warp in. 
  3. Sustain: 
    • If you are looking for semi-afk ratting. Load drones and passive shield tank. I load a lazer to manage aggro away from my drones. Of course, you still need to occasionally hide your drones if they are attacked.
    • There is unwritten rule that you should abandon sites that has been claimed by other pilot. This is to keep respect between pilots. I found this the hard way and apologized.
    • If you are ratting for a long time, take longer roaming route. So, locals still have chance to enjoy the content as well. I use dotlan map to plan my roaming route.
    • This is rare, but there might be some pilots who come and salvage wrecks in those sites. You might consider to abandon all your wreaks that you don't loot, to allow them to loot the content as well as courtesy.

Welcome and EISy doctrine

Welcome Capsuleers,

My name is Abrzal, CEO of "Alpha Clones and Newbies" corporation. In the year of YC118, I have created this Corp to craft and test various strategies and tactics to make your activities in New Eden more enjoyable. We are focusing especially on improving the life of new pilots and those who has Alpha Clone State, via publication of tested strategies and tactics.

Our membership are by invitation only. Our member are called the Alphas. Each alpha is expected to test our crafted doctrine, strategies and tactics in real situation and give feedbacks to improve them. We are purely reseachers and not teachers. We are not giving classes nor running ops for newbies. Newbies looking for classes and ops are recommended to join Eve University, Brave Newbies, Blue Republic or Red Federation corporation.

To craft these strategies, we are crafting a brand new EIS-y operating doctrine that consist of three goals:

  1. Effective (a.k.a. Getting Things Done): Newbie pilots are expected to participate in activities that she can be effective. For example, if you have Level 1 skill mastery certificates on the ship you are flying, you are expected to run Level 1 Agent missions or equivalent (belt ratting in high sec, etc). You can still be effective running Level 2 Agent mission or anomalies sites, but you will not be as efficient as Level 2 or 3 mastery pilots. Level 3 missions will not be effective for you because you cannot complete the mission or it will take ridiculously long time. In PVP, you are expected to take the role of tackler or E-War and let the damage dealing role for more experienced pilot.
  2. Improve: Relatively more experienced pilots are expected to complete an activity in reasonable result per time spent, such as ISK per hour. One way, is to learn skills to reach Level 3 mastery on the ship you are flying. And then maximize the ship fitting for capacitor stability, tanks and DPS specific to the damage type of the rats your are shooting at.
  3. Sustain: Top alphas, those who reach 5 million skill level are expected to keep New Eden life enjoyable via three F-factors:
    1. Fun: Social and/or variety choices of activities
    2. Fit: Limit fly time less than an hour per work day. So, you can get enough rest and exercise.
    3. well-Funded: Spend the rest of the day doing AFK or Offline activities to get enough ISK to sustain activities in New Eden.
These doctrine can be applied online in New Eden as well as offline too. For example, during offline time when you are at work:

  1. In the morning you are expected to be effective. Complete tasks as many as possible that you know you can complete that morning.
  2. In the afternoon you are expected to pursue long-term improvements. Take calculated risks to save long-term cost, pursue new opportunities or long-term relationship with customer.
  3. In the evening you are expected to be enjoyable (a.k.a. sustainable). Have some fun, take some rest and exercise.
Fly safe!
