Literally incorrect: > [@Michael\_Gryffith](#): > > Tried a drake because passive tank and figured why not > [@Michael\_Gryffith](#): > > I decided to upgrade to the navy drake I get you are salty over a loss. There are a number of behaviors you can do to ensure you lose less ships in the future: - Have friends in the first place that can tell you when a passive shield fit is a Very Bad Idea ™ - If you don’t have friends, work on that (even on the forums) - Ask for fitting advice - Inquire why your fit did not succeed - Analyze what went wrong with the fight Yet you are choosing to antagonize and lash out at strangers on the forums. You’re working hard to make sure you get zero effective help and make sure everyone knows you are upset over a ship loss. You’re going to lose more ships. The question of how many and in what manner depends entirely on your attitude. ---

I haven’t doubted your experience, and have given you alternative constructive ways to handle it. I have given you flak trying to take a 💩 on Anthony’s Claymore experience (gleefully waiting for him to lose it without understanding _why_ he won’t) and am calling you out on it, which is just poor behavior. You don’t “want” it but you entirely deserve it for lashing out. ---

It’s certainly an appealing idea, but if you decide to stick around for any appreciable amount of time, you’d realize it’s because CCP tolerates drive-by-flame first-time posters who start threads for the sole purpose to take flaming dumps and then never return. Again, what you think is “being witty” is just showing how much disdain you have for other people. It’s becoming less of a mystery why no one gave you the helpful advice “don’t use a passive shield fit in the event” ahead of time. Imagine if our whole conversation never happened because instead of telling a guy his ship was going to pop, you genuinely asked “how come it is easy to run in a Claymore and not a passive shield fit Navy Drake” and we could be having a real helpful discussion about the game. For some reason you keep doubling down on _not_ having that conversation. ---

The funny thing is that if you go to Youtube and just search for “eve online event” pretty much the first (short video) talks about this stuff, what he uses and that there is a BS. It’s almost as if searching for info for 5 minutes before you try something new you have no clue on actually helps. ---

What? It’s a t2 fit claymore lol. I can careless if I die and gankers are not going to kill me in the site because it takes too darn long to do! 😂 😂 It literally has 90% EM resist and easy 80% everything else. The NPCs are not going to kill me and if I slap some LSEs on it there is no way a ganker is going to bother with me. And I really wish you quoted something of substance because I seen a guy duel boxing tengus doing the event. I seen a pally run these. Selective smugness much? I am having tons of fun not exploding in the event. Take a chill pill and relax 😛 To be honest idk why I have to explain myself to you but it’s needed to finish off the record. ---
