As a career solo miner, this (and a few of your others) are giving me encouragement to take on some ratting in lower sec systems. Good Stuff ! - Rancorz
Hey man, Just wanted to say I think your videos are great. Nice to hear from a bloke who enjoys the game, rather than an elitist telling you how to play!

Yes the Algos is great. I am making a missile /drone vid(s) soon, once I have done the coercer I will have run out of the 'gunboats' :) Early game getting 5 drones out is a longer learn than the guns, so I started there...
Fake News! xD Where did you hear that? I was doing it an hour ago with the Cormorant in a 0.1 no prob's, not sure what you mean...they could always hit you at range?
@@daddex9222 yea i was spinning around 1.500 - 900m he was nuking me 300 a pop with missiles :( looked in the logs and it was Guristas Clone Soldier Recruiter not Serpentis probably that's why. Sorry :D
Hello Dad Dex... I took your guide to heart and rebuilt the ship, unfortunately now for the 4th time because it didn't work, I always failed because of the clone. apparently the guristas are much stronger. But still a cool guide.
When I started I wish you'd been making video's, instead I had that pillok disownedheroidot and some other useless tutorials. This vid is a great intro to eve and hopefully people find it useful :-) hope to see more from you in future ^^
@@daddex9222No worries, Ive been playing long enough to know what im doing, but I always keep an eye out for good tutorials to link to the innocent when they join the game ^^ gotta get them upto speed so it's less of a seal clubbing XD
@@daddex9222 Hi, feel like the drops aren't too good now. The most i've had was a 2mil drop... is it possible that it was nerfed ? Or am I unlucky ? or maybe doing something wrong I don't know xD
The drops still drop. I got 2 Mordu battleships on the belts in my lunchbreak a couple of days a go, 1.2 Bil ISK. The Clone soldiers are pretty regular spawns, the Shadow Serpentis less regular and often drop crappy loot so there's no doubt the Loot Fairy was liking me at this time xD
I find belt ratting not that fun but the fights you find in low sec are. I do it for a tiny bit of income while getting into fights. If I was gonna rat i would run havens in null sec.
You run null sec Havens and talk about dull???? ;p It And you don't run Havens in a 5mil ship with a few weeks skills :) But if all you need are some fights the belts are a great place to start :)
Been out of the game for almost 10 years... just returning as an Alpha only with 3x 100m SP characters and not a goddam clue of what the hell I’m doing 😂 I tried your second thrasher fit last night, couldn’t take down a Serp BS and then and then got slaughtered in low-sec by a ship I didn’t know existed lol
Battleships you can find just by checking a few belts. The clones are rarer but will be around. If you stay in one system, going through the belts and killing all the rats will start escalating the spawns, so more shadow serpentis, Clone soldiers and Mordu will spawn.
Great videos! I also tried this thrasher it's so good, omg 300 dps with t2 guns, 2500 shields and passive regen, is it possible to fit ammar frigs/destroyer something similar or they are just too weak compared to other races starting ships?
Glad you are finding the fit useful Bill! Amarr ships should be fine, I will do this with a Coercer at some stage I am sure. It was just luck of the draw that I am getting to Amarr last, I just wanted to take an alpha of each race to a certain level in the vids without too much overlap of content at any one time xD

I am ratting in a Thrasher now, you have greatly aided in my game improving. Greetings from Bleak Lands.
Great to hear Donovan! xD Bleak Lands is a great area, I have an alt out that way myself. Fly Brave ! :)

Sorry this comment got buried somewhere, thank you mate. glad you enjoy them :)
Good show.
Belt ratting is a quite a bit of fun.
Thank you for the video.
~4m piece of scrap metal versus 25m state of the art federation warship and it's over in literally seconds in scrap metal's favor lol
Minmatar pilots: I just want to say, Im a huge fan
"Oh look at this amazing drop, now thx for watching and I'm just gonna warp off without looting it" :D
Good spot, i went back and got it! Too much excitement for me :)

Algos is a great ship+1
You got killed....and made enough isk to replace that ship about 400 times over. Well done sir.
yes and 3-1 on the ISK KdR. I am really enjoying clattering around in the dessies :)
Deserved to watch.. I'm still new, trying to learn and your channel seems fit. Thanks
Great Video. Keep in this way.
Thanks Leo, I shall :)
ill use ur fitting, thanks
warped off on the last drop without looting it??
Warp back and got it lol, always remember which belt you were on! Good spot :)
@@daddex9222 I bet you laughed after that one. You do all the work to get a drop and link it to your corp and had to go back and get it.
Great stuff, love your videos!

wheres the first fit at? i dont see it in the desc
Another brilliant vid
Where is that system ?? The biggest Bounty i had in 0.3 was 125.000 isk
you must have not seen any battleships or clones when you passed through.
Does this still work? Heard it had been nerfed
certainly does, doing it right now , no destroyer nerfs at all lately, though close range T2 ammo got a nice buff??
@@daddex9222 awesome! Made a thrasher alpha alt a while back and joined a nullsec corp today so will definitely try to do this!
@@daddex9222 Hi, feel like the drops aren't too good now. The most i've had was a 2mil drop... is it possible that it was nerfed ? Or am I unlucky ? or maybe doing something wrong I don't know xD
I think you forgot to loot the last wreck - the 144mil one
I nearly did, well spotted, had to go back !!
Make one for the Talwar pls
Soon Jason, I will be spending more time with the rusty alt xD
Is it still that profitable now in low sec?
The drops still drop. I got 2 Mordu battleships on the belts in my lunchbreak a couple of days a go, 1.2 Bil ISK. The Clone soldiers are pretty regular spawns, the Shadow Serpentis less regular and often drop crappy loot so there's no doubt the Loot Fairy was liking me at this time xD
@@daddex9222 thank you. Will Mordu belt rat be hard to defeat?

You run null sec Havens and talk about dull???? ;p It And you don't run Havens in a 5mil ship with a few weeks skills :) But if all you need are some fights the belts are a great place to start :)
i tried with guristas clone soldier and it didnt work, not enough dps for the 2.5m basic fit
skills effect the dps too
can you add your fit to the links in video next time, thanks! :)
I added it. Great idea, thanks!
Been out of the game for almost 10 years... just returning as an Alpha only with 3x 100m SP characters and not a goddam clue of what the hell I’m doing 😂 I tried your second thrasher fit last night, couldn’t take down a Serp BS and then and then got slaughtered in low-sec by a ship I didn’t know existed lol
MECH 1000!
He killed me, too. Like two weeks ago.
Mech is a pretty strong PVP guy, tricky too.
He is, he seems to mostly gate camp these days, :(
I want to ask how many jumps or how long till you found a battleship in lowsec?
Battleships you can find just by checking a few belts. The clones are rarer but will be around. If you stay in one system, going through the belts and killing all the rats will start escalating the spawns, so more shadow serpentis, Clone soldiers and Mordu will spawn.
Great video! I liked it. Please stay in low so I never appear in one of your videos
mech 1000 hangs out in vecamia (0.4) alot these days
Great videos!
I also tried this thrasher it's so good, omg
300 dps with t2 guns, 2500 shields and passive regen,
is it possible to fit ammar frigs/destroyer something similar or they are just too weak compared to other races starting ships?
Glad you are finding the fit useful Bill! Amarr ships should be fine, I will do this with a Coercer at some stage I am sure. It was just luck of the draw that I am getting to Amarr last, I just wanted to take an alpha of each race to a certain level in the vids without too much overlap of content at any one time xD
@@daddex9222 Goodluck in your activities and thank you for content!
Really awesome way to show new players ways of eve XD
Great voice btw
I lost many Augmented mining drones to that guy, he pops them from 50km :)
Oof
He also killed me.
It seems like he is doing this for a living.
T3d would be a better ship for this
Yeah you're absolutely right, they'll munch through rats and lower level sites, but alpha's can't fly them ;)
How is this game still going.....SMH
Its actually increasing in people.
It's got a lot of content and some of the pve can be therapuetic. Some questionable game changes lately but still good overall.
This will probably get nerfed
I don't think so this is basic stuff though the drops were 'unusual' ! xD
the apex way :P
?
@@daddex9222 You sound like another youtuber :P. You have good content been watching for a bit!
Thanks! Had no idea what you meant, 'Apex', I will have a look :)
