Eve Online: Apocalypse Sniper takedown by my Hyperion

[Lethn]

Nice to see people uploading gameplay videos without their music over everything for once kudos!

[imiptat]

should have stole it

[galey94]

if i was this guy in the apaocalypes then 1st i would align to warp out as soon as i can and how did the hyperion get to the apocolypse so fast, but second i would be pointing my guns at the hyperion and also i would have 3 heavy drones on the hyperion awel, is this guy 30 days old seriously,

btw i would say nice kill but i could have took that thing out in a frigate because looking at that he didn't tank at all but i'm assuming you used blaster though to kill him in 5 hits

[rostyloco1]

he clearly was not using active thermal and kinetic tanking

[TheNukaColaQuantum]

Blasterion has some nice DPS, do you have any nano tempest kills with that setup?

or any nano ships?, It seems it would be hard getting into the short blaster range agaisnt minmatar nano ships.

[snowmobiler9]

looks like test server bro

[webmasterSM1]

That went down a bit quickly

[N3M3SISWARM]

looked like a pretty cheap fit for the hyp...was it?

[alpha9190]

that went down pretty fast

[istheshiz]

I just don't like where the guns of the hyperion are located.

[theraven123456]

@alyruddy10 wat difference does it make? if it was the real server fight would have come out the same, killed just as fast, >.> moron lol

[alyruddy10]

oh wow.... just noticed your on the test server...... fail...

[mrpsnowboarder]

shouldn't have popped it. i would've sold it :P

[xZer0nex]

This is why you align to warp.

[idk70six]

Itd be funny if you abandon your ship and your just sitting right outside of it in your pod, then the guys like " oh, nice ship, lool." then he gets out of his, you fly on over to his ship then take his, then kill your ship since he took it from you and its heavily damaged, easy plan on 1v1! xD

[alyruddy10]

@idk70six shame that would rarely happen at all, noone is stupid enough to do that...

[idk70six]

@alyruddy10 I don't remember why i posted that comment.

It must of been because I was being sarcastic.

[1993futuremarine]

he was to close for him to even shoot back. of course you would win

[1993futuremarine]

man you ripped through his ship

[Endah93]

APOC was all of 4 feet away no wonder why you won

[cinosxx]

LOL he ejected xDDDDDDDDDD

[psdefnotme]

hyps should be using reppers. this is fail

[Helge129]

@psdefnotme: I use the Hyperion with a buffer tank, and I have more fun with that than with a rep.

[psdefnotme]

lol, ur fits are so sadddd

[Galimah]

This was a nice battle. :D It was quite close and tense in the end but the bigger ship won it at last. Great pvp, 3 thumbs up

[lulxors1235]

how much damage were those 8 blasters doing?

[nukepuppy]

it doesn't matter against a sniper APOC whos basically got no armor.. any cruiser would be able to make it cry quickly

[lulxors1235]

i would still want to know...

[ozzmans]

that poor apoc lol.

[Nackenzwei]

What does that graphical effect stand for that apoca was emitting?

[rfry]

The expanding circles = Sensor booster ... A sensor booster raises how far you are able to target someone.

[Nackenzwei]

Ah I see, I see :) Thanks for your quick answer. So does this video show the old client graphics then? I never have seen those expanding circles. The sensor boosters of my mates have a different graphical effect :)

[Helge129]

Depending on script, it can also raise how far you can target by A LOT, or raise how Fast you can target.

[alyruddy10]

@rfry and the speed.

[Liechengsos1]

@rfry and hw fast you target something

[Helge129]

Sensor booster, tho, watch out, if you hear a loud "BANG!", and you see a sort of donut, it is a smartbomb :P

[nero91]

nobb question: what kind of difference does it make if you abandon your ship before it pops?

never understood that..

[rfry]

If you know your ship is going to die, u do not have to sit there and watch it happen... instead you can spend that time heading over to get your replacement ship.

[NewVenari]

@rfry Does that nullify insurance?



[lusulpher]

@nero91

Don't know if you learned by now, but when you abandon a ship early, the enemy can take it.

[kurisu925]

@nero91 There is no advanage to leaving your ship other then to help your pod escape. Also if you are flying a tech 3 ship if you are inside the ship when it explodes you will lose some skill points in the skills related to tech 3 ships. Unfortunately when you eject you no longer get your insurance money if it pops.

[ZivWar]

@kurisu925 I've found there is a slight advantage if you self-destruct though. You can deny the other person their kill mail. Not a big advantage, but it certainly gets those tears flowing. Since quite a few use it as bragging rights.

[kurisu925]

@ZivWar Hardly what I could call an advantage...

[ZivWar]

@kurisu925 Not financial or strategic. But I've had campers message me pissed off beyond belief that I did it. That alone is worth it; pissing off the griefers.

[kurisu925]

@ZivWar Yea... when you piss off greifers it just makes them want to kill you more. The only way to deal with greifers is to avoid them that way they get so bored that they go to harrass some one else.

[ZivWar]

@kurisu925 You're over estimating them. They aren't people to be afraid of. What are they going to do? Wait around for the next year or so of their lives just for the one chance to destroy your pixel ship? In which case, you just self destruct and do it all over again. :) Can't lose, except your ship of course. I myself relish any chance to piss off pirates/griefers and make them look even more pathetic.

[kurisu925]

@ZivWar I am not over estimating anything. Even if they only extend their war dec by one more week that is another week of having to be on the look out in highsec. They are an inconvenient thing to have around. Popping your own ships to piss them off is really a step backwards. You are still losing a ship and it will not bring an end to your war any faster. The idea is to survive the war with as little financial loss as possible. Besides it pisses them off more if you kill them.

[ZivWar]

@kurisu925 Oh I see. Well I'm not part of a corporation. So I'm afforded some luxury of pissing them off :D So I do it with gusto and as much of a cavalier attitude as possible.

[kurisu925]

@ZivWar You do it like a fool. The real way to piss them off is to hop into a scorpion set specifically to jam them then nos/neut them and web them so that they just can't do anything. Then just hold them there for as long as you like. You don't lose a ship, they don't get a kill, And you annoy the fuck out of them for a much longer period of time.

[Gariel2007]

@nero91 also if you bail out at an unexpected momnet your foe wont be ready to gank your pod.

[MrDrew]

Blasters rule, just getting into range is the problem

[esaman]

he gave an you an abaddon as a present and you destroyed it... not nice. 10 seconds is a moment for you, talk about bad reaction times

[Maelfictus]

nice

[haloslayer78]

u killed him before he could lock onto u fuking awesome

[Crisis7]

How do you group your turrets like that shown in the UI?

I've been trying to figure out it.

[rfry]

The little white triange on the weapons hud, gives you a menu allowing you to group weapons.

[Shadowhawk555]

Empty the ammo from the guns, then hold SHIFT and Drag the modules ontop of eachother. This can only be done with weapons of the same type. (I.E. 120 mm railguns wont group with 180mm or Missle launchers Ect.)

[Sargethepyromaniac]

look at the interfacein the screen where your cap is, at the bottom to the right there is a little white triangle next to the damage control, click it and at the bottom it will say group weapons, just drag weapons over 1 to group them, but they have to be unloaded.

[fiberglassboy]

Your hype...is probably the most frightening ship...i've ever seen o.o

[a1r1o1n1]

hahhahahahahaha jammer on a hype nooob l2p

[rfry]

Its not a multispec jammer, and for what it does it works

[a1r1o1n1]

i never said multy... its just dumb to have a jammer on that ship.. i would dual rep it and put a recharger on there

[rfry]

My objective is to kill a target, not to tank it.

[a1r1o1n1]

im just saying.. its kinda pointless.. if you need to jam get a falcon with you

[rfry]

It's not pointless, if I had a 2nd person with me it would ruin the solo kill.... However I do understand that many people want a balanced fit, both able to tank and kill. All i was interested in was the kill.

[a1r1o1n1]

but you dont need anything to kill a sniping ship up close.. a scram does the trick.. he wont hit you and he's paper thin... i wouln't be proud of that kill

[rfry]

feel free to continue arguing it, but the objective was done the target died.

[Sargethepyromaniac]

I respect your kill however i hate the fit, to me its like buffer tanking a maelstrom, as 6 slots isnt much for a buffer and dps, however the DPS is frightening, and a1ro1n1, ECM bursts are good on battleships

[rfry]

Sargethepyromaniac, you're pretty much spot on.

[Sargethepyromaniac]

why thank you ^.^

[aronk187]

As far as I'm concerned, rfry did an amazing job. I've been studying things about the Hyperion and the Apocalypse (I'm maxed out skill wise on the Apoc, but I'm working on the Hyperion ATM). The Apoc isn't necessarily easy to take down, regardless if it's fitted for sniper or not.

Besides, make your own damn video if you want bragging rights =P.

[a1r1o1n1]

you couln't handle my awsomeness

[aronk187]

Lol. xD

[wolvesXD]

-.-

[lulxors1235]

we handled your mom's awesomeness in bed yesterday just fine... and damn was that awesome!

(sorry i just had to do that...)

[eveonline24]

"miętki" apoc hehehe xD

[J3AD]

muuwhaaa, i did have that kinda luck, nice job. i only got two warping hit and run cruisers. made the mistake of jumping to same three pts, over and over, 1 to many times. hehehe.

[Kujiness]

Good shit, wish I had that kind of luck lately.
