Who's Who in Eve

[svartalf]

Eve just seems to be a pirate gankfest, killboards are rife... for example ECP Rogues Killboard
Quests seem pretty repetitive/lacking in storylines.

Graphics are quite fancy, though, but overall it's pretty boring, really.

Having said all of this, I never made it past the trial period (because of these things).

 

[Ctuchik]

yeah, eve online is really not a PvE game, unless u strictly stay in 0.5 to 1.0 space.

but theres probably more pvp corps in that game then actual pirates. its just that most ppl (me included until not to long ago) generalize both of those type of corps as pirates.

there isn't THAT much difference between the 2, but the pvp'ers really do hate to be called pirates

Am currently out in Catch in IAC fighting the BobMcFix cap blob, haven't had much time to play recently, but got 2 characters both with 20m SP odd.

 

[Ctuchik]

if anyone is extremely interested send me a PM and i might tell you

don't quite fancy yelling out my name on a public forum

Step 1: RTFM
Step 2: Read it again.

Step 3: Realize there's no f*cking manual

I dunno, for the new player there's some good tips on page 16. Some aren't so great but:

TREAT EVERYONE AS HOSTILE unless you know otherwise, i.e. if you don't know someone as a friend or acquaintance assume they are planning to kill you and watch them at all times.

that's a goodie

Well, afaik it's still scheduled for "Winter 07" with their aim being to release it in November. Nothing more than that atm.

If you want the shiney new engine a Shader Model 3.0 capable gfx card is apparently what is needed.

Many people say we are not good neighbours

doesn't bother me all that much

 

[Ctuchik]

ehhe, we did end up as neighbours ended up joining KOS

 

[Poag]

Ok i was gonna call you a frenchy but thats the other lot.

Well your not right next door, the station held by my corp is fairly forward and held in the middle of goonspace pretty much.
We are just waiting on jewperway connections

maybe not right next door. but close enough that we use ur space to get to places


was pondering to join eiher KOS or R.K, but in the end KOS won mainly because of all the riches that can be gained there with pretty much no risk what so ever

 

[taB]

Well, KOS can't turn down all those isk-farmers*!!

*Might be lots of lies

Heresy or hearsay? Probably both.


Too much booze? Probably....


Enjoy


Esz.

depends what you mean by it

can't speak for everyone else but i'm doing it so i can start building my dred and carrier

getting to be able to fly both of em at once lol

We are forming a new Merc Alliance - the corp has had some tough times but we are getting more and more activity as time goes on. Our first contract was a frustrating containment contract. The employer seemed to think it was quite a success and has kept us at it for two weeks. He wanted a third but we are now forming the alliance.

The contract was a tricky one - the marks were good players flying recon ships and HACs and only shooting at the smaller ship in our gangs. Quite a good lesson for the guys. There was also very few of them so it was boring tbh.

Hence the alliance - don't be surprised if you see us in space near you!

train the learning skills best advice u'l ever get in the game tbh

all the basics to atleast lvl 4 and when you have the cash to buy he advanced, train those to asap.

its boring as hell but you will save SO much time in the long run. especially doing the lvl 4 to 5 skills. as theres tons of em that takes a month or 2 to train.


also, decide right now what u wanna do, check out the market for ships and stuff that you want to fly (and dont cross train for other races ships until u can fly ur own well) and train accordingly.

heres a link for ship setups with weapons and mods, its kinda outdated at some points but its a good reference anyway if you manage to wade through all the flames and shit.

had a friend helping me when creating, then ran the tutorial twice as I skipped too much first time and was sitting at the comp as a big questionmark

was questing some and training learning yesterday, got myself a bantam from a quest so sitting in that now

will see if I stay past the 14 days trial or stop, no idea which way I'll go so far

had a look in the thread you posted, I'm sure it will make sense later on when I have gotten a bit more into the game, but hardly knowing anything its pretty much just words but lack context for me

yeah the learning curve for this game is pretty steep. but once you get the hag of it its pretty enjoyable.

one thing tho. make sure u can afford to lose ur ship before you go out in low security space. especially if ur flying an expensive ship. its quite possible to lose ships and mods worth months and months of work in this game if ur not careful.

this is a high risk game and you will *never* get all the money back that you spent on the ship if you lose it. even if u have the platinum insurance.

 

[Heta]

using evemon and EFT makes the game more overviewable (if that is a word)

much easier too get a grip on what skills etc to train and such

 

[Sharkith]

yeah is always good for playing around with ship setups too.

 

[Manisch Depressiv]

Yes, jamming BS in a Griffin pre first ECM revamp was teh fun. Or ECM bursts from a Stiletto.

 

[rynnor]

Just started - cool game - cant see why I avoided it for so long

Nice immersive level of complexity - got my first month or so planned (getting my industrial ship to collect the jettisoned cargo boxes from my mining spec ship).

Only thing I dont like is that I cant train on multiple chars at the same time

Looking forward to getting pod killed - not the real experience without it

just make sure u have a clone to cover the pod kill

can lose quite a lot of time spent training if you dont.

Choo Choo in a system near you, cloaked...spying on you....maybe hes here? maybes hes not...who knows oooooo

this made me think of peter griffin

one thing that the game lack so far in my point of view, is the feeling of it beeing a mmorpg, have 0 contact with other people ingame, its not like you are running around like a headless chicken and run into someone and can ask wth is going on, and I have never liked general/public chats in game, always just idiots there so I never look there, still like the game tho, might get more of a online feeling later in the game, as it is now I just fly around and do lvl 1 missions in my cruiser so I can get faction to try out the lvl 2, as the lvl 1 was even way too easy in a frigate, don't think I ever got my shields below 90% in a lvl 1 mission, stupid easy
