Nice tactical choice tackling the second target. Took me some trial and error to figure that out solo. Eve miners often park in alignment though they lull easily with their monotonous task and getting up to speed to warp is more than enough time to pop that first ship.
Hey Wingspan, is there any possibility of a guide or video about how you actually find customers in a wormhole? Things like entering undetected, steps taken to locate customers, scanning anomalies down without scaring them off, etc. Watching the delivery is always fun, but I need help with actually getting there first.
not sure what you think "240p" means, or how it could apply to a font and not to the rest of the screen. 240p means the vertical screen resolution is 240 pixels. since each line of text takes up 16 pixels using the default eve font, that would mean a maximum of 15 lines of text on screen. clearly, that is not the case. did you mean the text is _blurry_? if so, the problem is probably on your end (video decoding issues, perhaps), because the text looks fine when the video is played at 1080p. or did you mean the font is _small_? if so, that has nothing to do with "240p", which is a measure of _resolution_, not a measure of _size_. the font size can be increased (more than doubled), but the default is fine for most people, and a lot of players actually reduce it to 11 or 10 pixels.
Jim Steinbrecher i was making a joke about the text being "blurry/low quality/unreadable" on mobile devices and computer even on high resolution setting
hey man, do you still recruit people for your Corp? I have a pretty good manticor setup right now with over 400dps unheated and am training into torp 5. (about a week away I think)
Well, there are basically three issues with it, from a videomaking standpoint. 1. I don't have a lot of footage. From my KB you can see that I wasn't personally on grid/in space for a lot of the more interesting fights. Most of them happened off TZ for me or during periods where I was handling RL work stuff. 2. There's no concrete "ending" that makes it easy to wrap up. It would end up being basically me just talking a lot. It's hard to frame in that regard. 3. Our main Director and FC who led the fleets into Thera Awoxed our corp, disbanded our alliance, and generally was a dick. As a result I would prefer not to create a whole series that puts his ego in the spotlight. I'm sure anyone can tell, from my posting dozens of videos of complete idiocy, including dying to hauling ships, that I have no issue sharing terrible losses. But those issues make it difficult to put a coherent story together.
Nick Kile So it turns out I have like 200 hours of footage that I never used. I'm going through it to find cool moments! This is from about a year ago. I want to post it before my hard drive dies to bad luck!
In wormhole space with no local, the only intel is directional and probe scanning. Leaving player wrecks in space tells other players there is danger in the system. No wrecks = "safe happy system, feel free to do activities here 😊"
So, even though I own license rights for the music, TH-cam's automatic takedown flags my videos. Every time I used that music now, I have to file a 7-part counter-claim. As you can imagine, this is very unfun and IMO puts the videos at long-term risk of being taken down. I'd rather avoid the issue altogether!
Why were you so frightened?I bet you would have warped if one of them had locked you, and you'd probably shit yourself against anything that can put up a real fight.
***** Alright, I watched the one before this, and he's freaking terrified of that Ashimmu even though he knows he has overwhelming odds in his favor. He should definitely not take a fight where there's even the smallest of chances that the other guys might win, or he'll have to cut the recording when he messes himself. I just hope he's wearing his brown pants.
***** Considering how absolutely terrified he is of three barges, which have zero turret/launcher hard points, I imagine he has run from countless haulers. Anyway, I'm merely wondering why he is so afraid when he is fighting in unbelievably favorable conditions, and pointing out that because he can barely keep it together when he is fighting under conditions that guarantee his victory, he should absolutely avoid any confrontation that has even the slightest chance of not ending in his favor. Don't get me wrong, I know he avoids any fight that isn't a guaranteed win if he can. I'm actually making fun of him for only posting the encounters that end in his favor, as though said encounters are anything but the result of him spending many hours running away and hiding until the odds are stacked in his favor. Personally, I'd like to see the video of these encounters: zkillboard.com/kill/56763850/ zkillboard.com/kill/56745972/ zkillboard.com/kill/56741778/ zkillboard.com/kill/56746080/ and zkillboard.com/kill/56746049/ Those last two would have undoubtedly made hilarious videos.
***** You're delusional if you think he didn't spend probably hours camping that wormhole waiting for something he could kill without risk. In a number of the videos I've now watched, he admits to spending a lot of time camping wormholes, watching what the inhabitants do. And there's no way a Procurer could lock him and assign drones to him in the few cycles it takes to destroy the Procurer. With base stats of about 1500 HP for the SB, not talking EHP, and the base DPS for light drones being about 8HP, it would take about 180 seconds, or 3 minutes, for a single light drone to take him down. That means 5 combat drones would take about 38 seconds to kill him, if we assume perfect hits, no misses(unlikely on a small, fast moving target), and that the drones were already in range and locked onto him, and it took him only 18 seconds from the time he uncloaked to kill the Procurer. Lemme simplify it: He was guaranteed to not only take down the Procurer, but to do so without even the risk of taking damage. Finally, this appears to be his loss: zkillboard.com/kill/56767172/ And these older ones: zkillboard.com/kill/53385619/ zkillboard.com/kill/52808482/ I do want to say that seeing him piss himself when he's up against 3 barges is actually quite entertaining.
The astero decloak right at the end made the entire video better.
You grossly underestimate yourself. I think you're possibly the third best commentator on youtube.
Another happy delivery customer.
YEAAHHHHHH ANOTHER WINGSPAN TT VID
THANK YOUUUUU
DO MOREEEEE
WE LOVE THEM!
I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS GAME BUT SHIT, I LIKE IT.
THUMBS UP FOR YOU MATE

Hey! I've written a 36 page guide on www.torpedodelivery.com/guide
i love how in a ton (maybe all?) of your videos, the quality is 720pHD or 1080pHD but the in-game text/font is like 240p
That's just the default UI scale for 1080p.
Galvanized Dreamer Sure. But on mobile. even a large mobile screen, the ingame text is 240p
not sure what you think "240p" means, or how it could apply to a font and not to the rest of the screen. 240p means the vertical screen resolution is 240 pixels. since each line of text takes up 16 pixels using the default eve font, that would mean a maximum of 15 lines of text on screen. clearly, that is not the case.
did you mean the text is _blurry_? if so, the problem is probably on your end (video decoding issues, perhaps), because the text looks fine when the video is played at 1080p.

Jim Steinbrecher i was making a joke about the text being "blurry/low quality/unreadable" on mobile devices and computer even on high resolution setting
its perfectly readable here. there must be something wrong with your video decoder, then (or your screen has low resolution).
hey man, do you still recruit people for your Corp?
I have a pretty good manticor setup right now with over 400dps unheated and am training into torp 5. (about a week away I think)
hey wingspan, i want to start Eve, but i heard rumors about it going F2P, is it true?
Yes, in November, just be patient my dude.
isnt better for new players to start eve now? so they will get better train times
It goes F2P in 3 weeks. But if you start a free 3-week trial now, it will expire after F2P, so you can essentially start RIGHT NOW and never pay.
It is.
No stealth bombers for f2p players though... But you could deliver all sorts of ammo in non cloaky ships :)
Still waiting on your Volta WH invasion series. I heard it went so well.

is this old footage? the overview does not seem right
Is this footage from the beginning of time?
Yes, recording started at the big bang.
Nick Kile So it turns out I have like 200 hours of footage that I never used. I'm going through it to find cool moments! This is from about a year ago. I want to post it before my hard drive dies to bad luck!
dunno why yu destroy the wrecks.. seems abit nasty
In wormhole space with no local, the only intel is directional and probe scanning. Leaving player wrecks in space tells other players there is danger in the system. No wrecks = "safe happy system, feel free to do activities here 😊"
@@wingspantt thanks for the response. makes sense now.
Bring back the old delivery music.
So, even though I own license rights for the music, TH-cam's automatic takedown flags my videos. Every time I used that music now, I have to file a 7-part counter-claim. As you can imagine, this is very unfun and IMO puts the videos at long-term risk of being taken down. I'd rather avoid the issue altogether!
ouch, damn TH-cam. Yeah I wouldn't want to have to do that either for each video...guess we'll have to get used to it.
I think so 😂😂😂
pew pew
Todo un troll xD
lol haha
Too greedy! You could easily got both retrievers kills.
Lame.
Why were you so frightened?I bet you would have warped if one of them had locked you, and you'd probably shit yourself against anything that can put up a real fight.
CamaroZ28Nut3 How often does he run from haulers in them?
***** Alright, I watched the one before this, and he's freaking terrified of that Ashimmu even though he knows he has overwhelming odds in his favor. He should definitely not take a fight where there's even the smallest of chances that the other guys might win, or he'll have to cut the recording when he messes himself.
I just hope he's wearing his brown pants.
Stealth bombers are literally paper thin, a venture with two light drones could kill one.
***** Considering how absolutely terrified he is of three barges, which have zero turret/launcher hard points, I imagine he has run from countless haulers.
Anyway, I'm merely wondering why he is so afraid when he is fighting in unbelievably favorable conditions, and pointing out that because he can barely keep it together when he is fighting under conditions that guarantee his victory, he should absolutely avoid any confrontation that has even the slightest chance of not ending in his favor.

I do want to say that seeing him piss himself when he's up against 3 barges is actually quite entertaining.
