82.35.227.146: /* Back History */

'''Vladimir''' is a fictional character created by 5punk forum member [[Grimmie]].

He is on occasion illustrated and posted to 5punk and b3ta boards at lunchtimes, along with a short description of his daily antics and more recently a short poll for forum members to decide where the ongoing story will go next. Vladimir has been popular amongst board members due to the unusual situations he regularly finds himself in.

==Physical Description==
[[Image:vladimir.png|frame|left|A recent drawing of Vladimir]]
Vladimir is drawn in Macromedia Flash using a variety of paintbrush thicknesses with 75% smoothing turned on. His fill colour is dark orange, hex code #FF6600 and RGB values 255-102-0.

While no firm measurements exist as Vladimir's size tends to vary, he is usually portrayed as about being about 3 foot cubed with a rounded top. His eyes are pure white disks with heavy bags underlining them, sometimes, but not always with eyebrows accompanying. Vladimir's brow is also heavily furrowed, illustrated by two horizontal lines that change in size and shape depending on his mood. The underside of his mouth is

Shading of Vladimir is usually quite simplistic, with colour gradients used sparingly due to the increased file size that comes with them. His lower lip, the bags beneath his eyes, furrowed brow and side facing away from a light source is shaded a darker shade of orange, with no fixed colour. Grimmie finds it easier to just lower the brightness of the standard #FF6600 orange on the colour palette and paint the selected fill instead of choosing a specific darker colour.

Vladimir is missing certain features that most animals and humans have present, the most noticeable being any sort of body other than his otherwise all-encompassing head. Vladimir is also missing the standard four limbs, two hands and two feet - though he often dreams about what he would do if he had arms. He is also lacking any sort of nose or ears. Contrary to popular belief, Vladimir does possess a resproductive system as illustrated in a [[NSFW]] image posted once to the forums and enjoys 'getting it on' with the ladies.

==Back History==
Part of Vladimir's allure is the fact that very little is known about him.Below is a list of things we do know about him.

* Vladimir has flown in space.
* Vladimir has landed on the Earth's Moon and several other planets.
* Vladimir enjoys fine Russian Vodka.
* Vladimir can tear holes in time and space.
* Vladimir is a Communist.
* Vladimir has doppelgängers.
* Vladimir has worked in a call centre.
* Vladimir doesn't approve of Mondays.
* Vladimir is single.
* Vladimir likes 80's music.
* Vladimir has access to Polonium.
* Vladimir has a sweet tooth.
* Vladimir thinks [[Cashy]] is a shit.
* Vladimir melts under high temperatures.

Author; Hehulk

Use; Small Gang Combat

Notes; Tanks amazingly well, for a frigate. If someone in your gang happens to have some shield transfer bots, or a transfer module it gets mad.

The fit;

'''Highs''' 4 X 150mm Autocannon II, 1 X Rocket Launcher

'''Mids''' 1 X 1mn Afterburner II, 1 X X5 Prototype I Engine Enverator, 1 X Warp Scrambler, 1 X Medium F-S9 Regolith Shield Inductor

'''Lows''' 2 X Gyrostabilizer II, 1 X Tracking Enhancer II

'''Rigs''' 2 X Auxilary Thrusters I

===Wolf===
Author; Hehulk

Use; Small Gang Combat

Notes; Designed as a means of keeping enemy tacklers off your fleet, I've had great success surprising people with 12KM range frig autocannons that blows through them faster than they can blink usually. It is however amazingly tight on CPU, and needs electronics 5, weapon upgrades 5 and a 3% turret CPU reduction implant to fit.

'''The Fit'''

'''Highs''' 4 X 200mm Autocannon II with Barrage

'''Mids''' 1 X 1mn Afterburner II, 1 X J5B Phased Prototype Warp Inhibitor I

'''Lows''' 2 X Gyrostabilizer II, 2 X Tracking Enhancer II

'''Author;''' Hehulk

'''Use;''' Lv1-3 Missions

'''Notes;''' Needs careful cap management, and the odd lv3 will force a warp-out (Downing the slavers 2/2 for example), but it's a fun ship to fly. Swap the hardeners out depending upon what your fighting, and if your tight on grid, swap a hardener for an RCU. If your fitting T2 guns, you will have to swap a hardener for an RCU, or put a powergrid rig on.

'''Set-up;'''

'''Highs;''' 3 X 720mm Howitzler Artillery I, 3 X Assault Missile Launcher I (Not heavy assault)

'''Mids;''' 2 X Cap Recharger I, 1 X Stasis Webifier I

'''Lows;''' 1 X Medium Armor Repairer II, 1 X 400mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plate, 3 X Armor Hardeners.

'''Drones;''' 3 X Medium Drones

===Scythe===
===Stabber===
==Battlecruisers==
===Cyclone===
===Hurricane===
'''Author:''' Hehulk

'''Use:''' PVP

'''Notes:''' I believe the profesional term is ''ow, ow ow, oooh, that's gona smart'' for what this monster of a BC can do. Get close, load hail (or EMP) and giggle as you land top of the killmail in a BC. Tank fittings depend on skills. If you can fit T2 EAMNs and have armour comp skills at lv4 or better, do that, if not fit active hardeners. Load the cap injector with 400s and your good to go. (I've run that tank with only 400s while being nos'd by 2 Nos domis. It injects just enough to keep the rep and web/scram running while letting the enemy drain very little from you.)

'''Set-up:'''

'''Highs:''' 6 X 425mm Autocannon (Preferably t2, so you can load Hail), 2 X Heavy Assault Missile Launcher (Preferably T2 so you can load rage HAMs)

'''Mids:''' 10mn Afterburner II, Warp Disruptor (T2 is ace, but expensive), Fleeting webifier, Electrochemical Capacitor Booster

'''Lows:''' Medium Armor Repairer II, 800mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plate, ''3 X Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II '''or''' 1 X Explosive Armor Hardener I, 1 X Kinetic Armor Hardener I, 1 X Thermic Armor Hardener I'', Damage control

'''Drones:''' 5 X Hobgoblin II, 1 X Small Armor Maintance Bot

'''Rigs:''' 3 X Auxilary Nano Pumps

Author; Hehulk

Use; Lv4 Missions

Notes; Dead easy to fit, straight forward to fly. Your tank can hold at 99% from some of the weaker missions, and holds long enough on the hard ones to reduce the incomming DPS to managable levels.

The fit;

'''Highs;''' 7 X 720mm Howitzler Artillery II, 1 X Heavy Missile Launcher (I like Arbalist)

'''Mids''' 1 X Medium Shield Booster II (Can easily be upgraded to pithum or gistum), 2 X Shield Hardeners, 1 X Shield Boost Amplifier, 1 X Large Shield Extender II

'''Lows;''' 2 X Gyrostabilizer IIs (Upgrading to Domination makes a hell of a difference), 3 X Power Diagnostic System II (Upgrade to Faction for Permatanking with invul fields)

==Battleships==

===Tempest===
'''Author;''' Hehulk

'''Use;''' Fleet Combat

'''Notes;''' Intended as a one shot machine, this set-up does exactly what the tempest was made to do. Alpha strike harder than almost anything else in-game.

'''The fit;'''

'''Highs''' 6 X 1400mm Howitzler II, 2 X Large Remote Armour Repairers

'''Mids''' 3 X Sensor Booster II, 1 X Tracking Computer II, 1 X 100mn Microwarpdrive I

'''Lows''' 3 X Gyrostabilizer II, 1 X Tracking Enhancer II, 2 X Reactor Control I '''or''' 2 X Tracking Enhancer II, 1 X Reactor Control II

===Typhoon===
'''Author;''' Hehulk

'''Use;''' Small/Medium Gang work

'''Notes;''' Rigs turned the typhoon from the completly unwanted bastard child of the minmatar battleships into a very dangerous, very effective killing machine. Some of the highs '''have to''' be named, just for CPU useage, but the better the heavy nos, the better your tank holds. Also, arbalest siege are a doddle to afford at 4 mil pu these days. Rigs are required for grid reasons. The EC-900s have won me so many fights on SISI that it's not even funny. Take on two pulse abaddons and winning? You bet ya ass. Jam one, nos the other and pray your tank holds long enough :)

'''The Fit;'''

'''Highs;''' 4 X Siege Missile Launchers, 4 X Heavy Nosferatu

'''Mids;''' 1 X 100mn Afterburner II, 1 X Warp Disruptor I, 2 X Cap recharger II

'''Lows;''' 2 X Large Armor Repairer II, 1 X 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plate I, 3 X Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II, 1 X Damage Control II

Caldari Ships

2007-03-04T18:51:13Z

82.35.227.146: /* Blackbird */

Caldari. By far the most popular race but for a long time they were limited to missile spamming only due to the lack of a railgun capable battleship. Enter the Rokh, the sniper ship of choice and rapidly becoming ''the'' fleet combat bs in Eve. What is it with the birds?

A great fun and easy to fit frigate that can punch above its weight in gangs.

Basic Kessy: 4 Std Msl, shield booster, EW/Tgt Painter/Webbers, 2 nanos

Covops cloak, recon launcher, nanos in the lows and whatever you can fit in the mids (ship scanner, cargo scanner, roid scanner are all ideas)

====Manticore====

Stealth bombers are the submarines of Eve. Creeping around cloaked and popping up unexpectedly to launch cruise missile death on unsuspecting foes. Like subs tho, they tend to crumple as soon as someone looks at them.

'''Author;''' Hehulk

'''Fit Type;''' Small Gang Work

'''Notes;''' If your cap and EW skills arn't up to scratch, yuor going to strugle for cap with racial jammers, and multi specs eat your cap alive. With EW 4 though, and the cap skills at 4 should be ok. Named jammers help alot, as they eat less cap. t2 isn't worth it as it has the same jamming strenght as best named for alot more cap and more CPU.

'''Set-up;'''

'''Highs;''' 3 X Heavy Missile Launcher I, 1 X Medium Noseratu I

'''Mids;''' 1 X Sensor Booster I, 5 X Racial ECM Jammers

'''Lows;''' 2 X Signal Distortion Amplifier '''Or''' 2 X Cap Power Relays '''Or''' 1 X Signal Distortion Amplifier and 1X Cap Power Relay

====Caracal====

Everyone's favourite budget PvP ship. Easy to fit, very versatile and cheap as chips. You can experiment with Assaults, Hvy Assault or Heavies in the highs, tank, tackle or EW in the mids and still leave room in the lows for whatever you want.

Caracal Anti Frig: Std Asslt Launchers, Med Nos, 10MN Ab, web, scram, cap recharger/second web, BCU, 800mm plate
Caracal Fleet: Hvy Msls, 10MN Ab, EW, Sensor booster, 2 BCUs

====Osprey====

Awaiting Ship Setup Data

==Heavy Assault Ships==

====Cerberus====

====Eagle====

==Recon Ships==

====Falcon====

A glorified covops frig with plenty of room for toys but does no damage. None at all. Primary weapon is the ECM and stealth. Use best name ECM rather than T2

H: Covops Cloak T2, Probe Launcher, 2 HAM T2 or Cyno Gen M: 4 Racial and 1 Multi ECM, Sensor Booster T2, Gravimetric ECCM T2 L: Co-Proc, Sig Distortion Amp T2, Nano

====Rook====

Can you say Primary? Since the ECM nerf in Revelations, this combat recon has come into its own as the strongest EW ship. At the price you're better off using a Blackbird or Scorpion for fleetwork but it's still good for small gangs. Some people like to stick a cloak on but since it can't do covops I don't see the point.

H: 5 Heavy or Hvy Asslt Missile T2, 1 Nos if you can fit it M: 4 Racial and 1 Multi ECM, Sensor Booster T2, Gravimetric ECCM T2 L: 2 BCU T2

===What is 5punk?===

5punk is a friendly community of gamers based on the ethic of playing for fun hence the title

"5punk - the gaming equivalent of a kickaround in the park"

'''Woo Elephant yeah, the site owner'''

"Well one day I decided it would be a good idea to get like minded 'b3tans' ([http://b3ta.com b3ta]) to all play online games together. Since then there's been no looking back, and 5punk has now turned into an active online gaming community for all ages and types of people.
You do not have to be a member of b3ta to join 5punk, as it's an open gaming community, it's just that b3ta is historically a root for people to come here."

Basically we play for fun, get on well with like minded gamers and have good laugh in the process.

We also run our own [[Bukkake|gameserver]], as this allows us to switch games we host easily depending on what's popular.

====Why 5punk?====

This is at least partly related to the being an offspring of b3ta.com

The use of a number in the place of a letter started with b3ta, but was taken up by 4rthur, 5punk, just as a nod to our roots.

[http://www.b3ta.com/talk/64446 Thread where the name was decided.]

====How do you pronounce 5punk?====

Spunk - a slang term for male ejaculate.
Not five-punk

===Games we often play===

*[[Battlefield 2]]
*[[Battlefield 2142]]
*[[Counterstrike|Counter Strike: Source]]
*[[Call of Duty| Call of Duty: United Offensive]]
*[[EVE]]
*[[Other Games| List of other games]] - These are less popular games, but still have a following in 5punk

The games we play change reasonably often, and we always try new games but tend to get bored of them pretty quickly if it's nothing special.

However [[Battlefield 2|BF2]], [[Counterstrike| CS:S]], [[Call of Duty|CoD:UO]] and [[EVE]] are our staple games with a strong, and in the case of Eve, militant following (No, really. Those EVE players are nuts).

==== When does 5punk play? ====

We play games most evenings, generally using a set schedule of games during the week and random games as and when they happen using Xfire.

*'''Monday:''' Nothing set
*'''Tuesday:''' [[Call of Duty]]
*'''Wednesday:''' [[Counterstrike| Counter Strike: Source]]
*'''Thursday:''' [[Battlefield 2142]]
*'''Friday:''' [[CoH/CoV| City of Heroes]]
*'''Saturday:''' Nothing set
*'''Sunday:''' Nothing set

====More info about the games we play====

===== [[Battlefield 2]] =====

Our BF2 addiction has been gaining power since release, often getting 8+ players for our scheduled games on thursdays.

We pooled our funds and rented our own ranked BF2 server, which could be found [http://www.game-monitor.com/GameServer/81.19.208.85:16567/5punk.co.uk_-_Get_some_on_you.html Here] but can't now, so there.

===== [[Battlefield 2142]] =====

Though not widely accepted by the 5punk community it has a fairly dedicated following of a few regular players.

===== [[Call of Duty|Call of Duty: United Offensive]] =====

AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS CANNON
(And you can shoot stuff.)

We use a lot of custom maps which can be downloaded [http://files.hairy-arse.com/CallofDuty/Maps.rar Here]

===== [[CoH/CoV| City of Heores / City of Villains]] =====

A nonspecific Superhero comic based MMO that is slowly gaining popularity on 5punk. Not particularly deep, but combined with Teamspeak is often highly amusing.

CoH and CoV are two seperate games with a slight overlap - bought seperately but one subscription fee for both, playing as either a hero or a villain. The two overlap in certain PvP areas, and owning both offers certain advantages for players on either side.

===== [[Counterstrike| Counter Strike: Source]] =====

omg! hax

===== [[EVE]] =====

One of the most absorbing and involved MMOs around, EVE differs greatly from others in that grind does not increase your skillpoints as training is based purely on time. Grind will earn you isk (in-game currency) and allow you to buy new skills to fly new ships, fit new LASERS!

In-depth details on the game can be found here in [http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=2305 Wiggy's EVE review]

The 5punk community in EVE is based around the fantastic 5punkorp (think Guild), based on the ideals of bumming, more bumming, freedom and the spirit of fun! (But mostly bumming. - Wig)

They also have a ship set-ups page [[http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Ship_fitting_Frontpage Here]]

===== [[OFP| Operation Flashpoint]] =====

An older but still one of the best modern era FPS's out there. OPF focuses more on low level tactics than MMO's like BEEF and requires thought, teamwork and combined arms cooperation to achieve mission success. It is set apart from the competition by a large and active community who continue to produce new vehicles, weapons, maps and mods 5 years after it was first released.

===== [[SWAT 4| SWAT 4 - The Stetchkov Syndicate]] =====

Oldish Tactical first person shooter, slow paced, challenging to play well, but still fun.

===== [http://www.urbandead.com UrbanDead] =====

Inconspicuous browser based MMORPG set in the zombie apocalypse, easily played at lunch time at work. 5punkers tend to gravitate towards pubs, occasionally organising excursions such as the Malton Pub Crawl in order to bring sunshine to the lives (or undeaths, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.

===== [http://www.shartak.com Shartak] =====

A Browser based MMPORG set on a desert island, Featuring Outsiders, Pirates and natives.

Quite similar to Urban dead, likely because the maker was inspired by urbandead.

===== [http://www.atorian.com Atorian] =====

Another inconspicuous browser based game. Set at some point in the future 5punkers in this game are purely self-defensive, but since there's always someone trying to take our planets we never stop fighting.

=== Stuff we run ===

This list is likely to change often, so just check [http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php?search=5punk&type=server Here] for our current servers

=== Apps we use and how to use them. ===

Xfire is an app that acts as an instant messenger with in game support and allows us to easily join other 5punkers in game.

With the 22/9/06 Xfire update, they introduced a [http://www.xfire.com/clans Clan] function, this allows users to add everyone to their contact list easily by joining the 5punk clan [http://www.xfire.com/clans/5punk here], you'll usually be accepted within 24hours.

We also have a list of our xfire usernames and a small app to automatically add everyone, though it isn't always reliable and isn't updated often.

[http://www.5punk.co.uk/phpbb/xfired.php Xfire List]

[http://www.5punk.co.uk/XfireAdd2.exe Auto-Adder]

When signing up at the forum, make sure you add your Xfire username to your forum profile, as this is the core of 5punk, and without Xfire, we wouldn't even be here.

Teamspeak is our voice comms medium of choice - given the ease of use, and reasonable licensing terms.

*Server Address: 217.112.95.67:8767
*Server Password: cranberry

==== Hamachi ====

Used to allow us to play older games over the Internet, also allows us to test experimental servers safely and securely.

[http://www.angelfire.com/games5/darkcry/hamachi_eng.htm Basic guide] (placeholder until a 5punk-specific one is made)

If Hamachi is needed for a game, the network to join and password for the network will be posted in the scheduler.

===Site Admins===

'''Woo Elephant Yeah''' - Site Owner/Creator

Often referred to as Wey, or Woo (which can be confusing)
5punk is Wey's Baby, as, oddly enough, is Wey's baby.
He is still amazed at how a simple idea has evolved into this rather active gaming community.

'''Stoat''' - Site Admin

Mustela erminea
Our very own php jedi, Coded the Scheduler and the Discussion board.
Stoat has been there since the birth of 5punk, and without him, we wouldn't have any of the things we have.

'''Dog Pants''' - Site Moderator

After watching his posts for some time, WEY decided to ask Dog Pants to join the 5punk admin team.
Dog Pants has done a wonderful job moderating 5punk's forum, and has helped influence a lot of the recent decisions/suggestions for 5punk.
He can usually be found stumbling around groaning in Urban Dead, or watching Zombie flicks at home.

'''Dr. Kitteny Berk''' - Game Server ([[Bukkake]]) Owner

Quote from WEY:
Abrupt, Rude and quite possibly Obnoxious, Berk speaks his mind and what you see is what you get.
You know where you stand with Berk, and he's the first to admit that. However, without him, 5punk would never have lifted off the ground in the way that it has, and his continuous work, help, time & money has got Bukkake up and running, along with the Shoutcast radio shows as well.
He's the unsung hero, but more a hero without the shiny long blonde hair and chiseled jaw, more of a dark shadowy figure lurking in the corner fixing servers and swearing repeatedly at things whilst snarling.
So to sum up *thinks about words carefully again*, even though Berk can be a bit of a sarcastic foul mouthed bastard, we love him in our very own special way.

===What is 5punk?===

5punk is a friendly community of gamers based on the ethic of playing for fun hence the title

"5punk - the gaming equivalent of a kickaround in the park"

Quote Woo Elephant yeah, the site owner:

"Well one day I decided it would be a good idea to get like minded 'b3tans' (b3ta.com) to all play online games together. Since then there's been no looking back, and 5punk has now turned into an active online gaming community for all ages and types of people.
You do not have to be a member of b3ta to join 5punk, as it's an open gaming community, it's just that b3ta is historically a root for people to come here."

Basically we play for fun, get on well with like minded gamers and have good laugh in the process.

We also run our own gameserver, as this allows us to switch games we host easily depending on what's popular.

====Why 5punk?====

This is at least partly related to the being an offspring of b3ta.com

The use of a number in the place of a letter started with b3ta, but was taken up by 4rthur, 5punk, just as a nod to our roots.

[http://www.b3ta.com/talk/64446 Thread where the name was decided.]

====How do you pronounce 5punk?====

Spunk - a slang term for male ejaculate.
Not five-punk

===Games we often play===

*Battlefield 2
*[http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Counterstrike Counter Strike Source]
*Call of Duty: United Offensive
*EVE
*Unreal Tournament 2004
*Quake 4
*UrbanDead

The games we play change reasonably often, and we always try new games but tend to get bored of them pretty quickly if it's nothing special.

However BF2, [http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Counterstrike CS:S], CoD:UO and Eve are our staple games with a strong, and in the case of Eve, militant following (No, really. Those EVE players are nuts).

We play games most evenings, generally using a set schedule of games during the week and random games as and when they happen using Xfire.

*'''Monday:''' Nothing set

*'''Wednesday:''' [http://www.5punk.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Counterstrike Counter Strike Source]

Inconspicuous browser based MMORPG set in the zombie apocalypse, easily played at lunch time at work. 5punkers tend to gravitate towards pubs, occasionally organising excursions such as the Malton Pub Crawl in order to bring sunshine to the lives (or undead, as the case may be) of human and zombie alike.
