>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No

>Can I play the full game without paying for it?
Yes, Eve is F2P with some restrictions and you can earn enough money ingame to get a subscription.

>I want to play EVE, what should I do?
Get 250,000 free Skillpoints by using any referral link (chaining them with friends works best)
If you have no friends create two accounts and refer yourself, you'll need an alt anyway.
Or use the link in >>174929081

>Now what?
Do the Tutorial then the Career Agent missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp. The game is only as boring as you are.
No, really. Find a corp.
You don't want to be that guy.

>this. for the love of god don't start your wormhole exploration in hisec, especially near any major trade hub. pick a quiet lowsec to venture into and then go for however long you feel like before starting to scan down entrances. any sites in hisec-connected wormholes stand a good chance of being camped by either wormhole residents or other hisec divers who want to take advantage of lazy/inept explorers who didn't get far enough away from jita before jumping in

GUYS
What happened 30 mins after you had posted this was that I was mining rare ores in a high-sec wormhole. I had checked zkillboard and there hadn't been any kills for several days.

After 5 minutes or so mining, I got jumped by a fucking Astero within scramble range that had been cloaked. But I was already aligned, and had my finger on the jump button. The Warp Scramble attempt hit me as I was warping (I think), or maybe it didn't affect me because Venture, so I got away. I don't know if he would have been able to keep me there, though, since I don't know anything about their scrambling capabilities.

I haven't done it myself but, I heard that gas clouds don't let you cloak. so when you huff gas in a WH, stay in the middle and when an astero cunt tries to gank you, it'll decloak him

also ventures have an inhereit +2 warp resistance, so maybe you blocked the astero's scram

>still looking for feedback
I don't know what your skills are, or how you are even scanning wormholes down with such low scan strength.

Fully fitted ventures are not worth more than 3-4 mil, don't skimp out on empty slots.

Upgrade the damage control from compact to T2, it goes from 1.5mil to 0.5mil.
>>
>>175209834
Right. I am still considering a WCS to be practically un-unwarpable...

I looked up the thing about gas clouds and cloaks, and it seems you /can/ cloak there but just not while harvesting.

>>175211030
>I don't know what your skills are, or how you are even scanning wormholes down with such low scan strength.

I don't really know either... but... I just throw like 8 probes out there, and move them towards the red spots and press "Scan" repeatedly.

Thanks

>Right. I am still considering a WCS to be practically un-unwarpable...
To be able to warp you need at least 0 "points" of warp core stability. Ventures have a base +2 while warp disrupters gives -1 and warp scramblers give -2 while also turning off any microwarp drives in use by the scrambled ship. In order for someone to make your Venture unable to warp they would have to inflict -3 points of warp scrambling onto you, so either a warp scrambler and a warp disrupter, 2 warp scramblers, or 3 warp disrupters. While some people fit both a warp scrambler and a warp disrupter specifically to gank Ventures and warp core stabilized ships it is uncommon as it requires you to sacrifice an extra mid slot.

I do it for my friends in corp.

It doesn't even matter if the VNI is 100mn AB fit, my hunter just has to be there long enough to point, bridge and the other fuckers rush in and get more tackle

Then we sometimes hold the VNI for a bit to see if any of his retarded friends will come to save him then we either kill him and bail or haze the other shitters

Collect salt in local then fuck off to look for another target

I'm not really AFK you faggots
>>
>>175223524
the j-signatures are the ones which are unique. when you look at the hole itself it shows a classification, like you said. exit holes are (99.99% of the time) K-162's. entrance holes will be of basically any other type. in addition, if you look at the hole itself visually, you can get good at identifying exactly what class hole it leads to. all holes to a certain class have centers that look exactly the same, excluding shattered holes. holes to drifter systems and thera also (i believe, i have never actually seen one of either myself) have a distinct look and classification.

player owned starbases are sovnull bullshit. POSes are being phased out. you're looking for an astrahus, they start around 800m before fittings iirc.

>Once deployed a Citadel will take a full 24 hours to anchor.

>After the 24 hour anchor period, there will be a 15 minute window of vulnerability where the player will need to defend the Structure. If the structure will not be attacked during this 15 minute timer, it will gain 100% Armor/Shield/Hull when the timer ends. If it will be attacked while vulnerable, the structure will enter into Repairing state and the standard vulnerability mechanic will follow.

How does cloaking in covert ops ships work? They just aren't detectable for a longer time after warp??
>>
>>175235958
The covert ops cloak allows you to warp while cloaked and has no movement speed debuff. With it you can warp all over a system without being detectable. The only time you have to be decloaked while using one is going through a gate.
>>
>>175236043
Or interacting with anything.
>>
>>175236043
>>175236120

I see, so are you really vulnerable if you get right up to the gate before using it? Or is it just "people know you're there"

Also can you be attacked while cloaked on the other side if people are 100% sure you were.
>>
>>175236246
The only time where you're actually semi vulnerable is after taking a gate.
>>
>>175236445
>>175236246
or a wormhole. and unless you are nullified, you are actually fairly vulnerable to people who know what they're doing and are equipped to decloak you while you try to burn out of a bubble. a frig is generally fine, but when you're slowboating a covops cruiser out of a bubble it can get a little dicey.
>>
>>175236246
>I see, so are you really vulnerable if you get right up to the gate before using it?
You can take gates from 2,500m away and you can still be cloaked as long as you're not within 2,000m of another object, so if you're slowboating to a gate you're pretty safe, just get between 2-2.5km away, decloak, and immediately hit jump. If the gate isn't bubbled and you're warping to it to jump you're invincible to anything but smartbombs, just make sure you drop cloak before you land out of warp as if you land while cloaked it won't jump right away, you'll approach the gate for a few seconds while it drops cloak before jumping.

After you take the gate you'll be gate cloaked and invincible for 60 seconds like any other time, and you can use your cov ops cloak as soon as you drop gate cloak, so you can typically select something, hit align, immediately hit your cloak, then hit warp when you're at 75% speed and you'll only be visible for one tick. The only way for someone to get you in that circumstance is with smartbombs or if they are able to burn to within 2km of you, decloaking you, and point your before you warp.

Characters used to be much less ISK/SP, but SP amount has increased, and injectors have raised the price (not to mention potentially fewer characters with large amounts of SP for trade?).. It's like $600 to get a 100M SP character through RMT prices -- $1,200 for store.

Literally nothing has changed since the last time we tried.

I don't know what you expect to achieve here, if you are a good leader, making a new Corp will be easy for you.
Making this discussion pointless.

If, in the other hand you are just here to meme and expect people to rally under a Corp with no name and do all the work for you, well..
I'd say, go back to Weddit

3rd party advocacy: How about opsec / access being as limited or open as you find OK..

Work on material efficiency
Get your mining reprocessing skills up to 80+%
Research t2 modules

Find some that are in high demand and sell them
If you are in a nullcorp become the main distributer for most of the commonly used modules and ships (look up what fittings your buddies use for exhumers/mining barges/ratting ships/corp-approved fleet fittings for ships that idiots lose often) and sell them at a 20+% increase compared to jita prices (they will still go like hotcakes and you worry a lot less about jews undercutting you)
???
Profit

If your corp is big enough and has enough idiots you can make billions steadily

It takes time research and effort tho so just ratting in a dominix/vni is easier

I ask because I'm working on a similar game with factions, lose everything when you die and boundless power.

It has literally happened many times before.
When people hate each other, no amount of intelligence can save it

The closest thing you can get for what you're talking about is everyone blueing each other when they are neighbors just to hold sov from outsiders.

After that, there is no peace.
>>
>>175263160
I would institute regulated markets like IRL
POS and citadel markets would get to be regilated heavily by the players themselves where the owner could either tax certain luxuries more (such as boosters) or subsidize some commodities to incline a greater volume of it being traded (no tax or artificially inflated buy prices for some minerals in order to promote corp members to mine more of those, the extra payment would go out of the corp wallet and you would have only a limited ammount of money for it, so it couldnt be abused, it would dissapear when the need is met, much like irl)
It would create some interesting micro-economies and make smuggling, black markets (to avoid taxes) viable

Npc stations would tax specific things by default depending on the owning corp.
It would also mean that not everything could just accumulate in jita and everyone would be forced to travel around for specific commodities for reasonable prices

>>
>>175265207
Just to expand more on the idea, imagine that your corp is preparing for a large invasion, the CEO could reward people for producing capital modules and increase the tax on things that exist in excess so industry jews couldnt keep flooding the market with items unhelpful to the cause.
>>175265349
It does suck that 90% of the people do all of their buying in one place, this would diffuse the jita population and increase traffic in high/lowsec
Making ganking more interesting and populating all other systems more evenly so carebears need to stay on their toes more.

It would be harder to accumulate all that you need, but then again that would only force you to play the game more instead of just sitting in jita flipping spreadsheets and spamming scams.

It would also make null-economies for alliances a lot more important since the convenience of JFs would be impacted as well and people who do proper hauling/trading/contracts would also have a lot more work in more diverse locations.
>>
>>175265151
This seems to already happen. Fozzies dream of all these dinky small alliances taking their own personal sovereignty was bulks hit. Entosis is literal fucking cancer and takes even longer to do than the last system. It's even worse when you have massive indexes up. It can take over 2 hours just to rf one node assuming you don't get jammed by some faggot in a griffin that you cant do anything about.

That's how sov is defended, with cheap Griffins so you can jam the entosis ship. No one fights over these nodes. No one splits up to cover the bases. You just get everyone in a fucking Griffin go jam the defenders and dock up for another half hour while their warm up cycle goes off.

If you do take sov you're probably in some coalition of blues whether you be in delve, deklein, or the Russians out in drone lands

Fit a T3C with Covert Ops Reconfiguration and Emergent Locus Analyzer and nullify it, then fit probes, T2 relic and data analyzers, and a cloak. Every other slot is up to your choice, but I recommend an MWD and cargo scanner in the mids.

After you're all fitted up, go to nullsec and just roam around looking for sites, doing every ghost, sleeper, and relic site you find.

It's not their fault, it's CCP's. CCP uses quite an aggressive advertising model where pretty much everything is either overhyped or presented in a faulty way. One example was them doing a "class" summary on the website, and one of those classes was a Bounty Hunter with a description below which promised you to "hunt enemies for money!". Little did the new players know that bounty hunter actually means NPC ratting.

Stuff like that, specifically the faulty advertising, is a short-term gain over a long-term loss. Players get hyped for a trailer and rush to buy the game for the new release, realize that they've been scammed by the ads and proceed to never again touch the game due to how disappointed they were. The assdevastation is so severe in some cases that they go out of their way to shit on the game's reputation on any forum they post.

That's where those "people who have never played the game" come from - pretty much day one or two disappointment.

You'll generally be told relic sites are the best. I guess its true but data sites are decent cash too for a newbie. I took estimated 16m from 1 data site, which at my level is awesome. Try to find a wormhole into nullsec for the best sites (wormholes too i suppose but they seem to be more dangerous than the null regions I've explored).
>>
>>175305627
>a wormhole into nullsec

so you can travel from Not-WH System 1 to Not-WH System 2, through a WH? I thought there was only one way into the WH, and one way out.

Are the WH-into-nullsec systems only accessible through the WH?

Heimatar is generally the Matar capital, as I see it. Contains Rens, currently the 4th biggest trade hub according to eve-marketdata.

That thing doesn't include citadels. Rens and Hek are probably below Perimeter and possibly the goon HQ system too.

>>175306054
I thought so too but it turns out you can get all sorts of connections. A wormhole takes you to either 'K-Space', for 'known' (high, low and null) or wormhole space.
>>
>>175306570
>>175306054

To clarify, you can take a highsec wormhole direct to lewsec or null, or any combination, without entering 'wormhole space'. Known space to known space connection. I've found a few highsec-highsec wormholes leading from trade hubs to trade hubs within 8 jumps, total. Made a decent trade run the first time I found that. I tried to sell the bookmarks but noone seemed interested.

Want to try cloaky camping
I assume a stratios can kill a VNI fine?
>>
So today my exploration Probe was destroyed by a Manticore. I saw him on D-scan but inexperience told me "He probably wont attack me, that thing fires torpedos which'll be useless against a frigate". I entered the relic site, dropping some junk at 0 warp-in hoping it'll trip his cloak if he turned up. I took the risk and lost my ship. He must have had a bookmark at range. No big deal, but I don't really feel like I've learned anything. trust your instinct I guess, but no real actionable knowledge.

How can an alpha explorer counter, or at least put up a fight, against stealth bombers? Particularly the Probe which seems ill suited to combat.
>>
I need to know a ship I can take out and gank VNIs.

But I dont want to kill the VNIs.. just kill all the small tackle thats comes to help them.

>I entered the relic site, dropping some junk at 0 warp-in hoping it'll trip his cloak if he turned up. I took the risk and lost my ship. He must have had a bookmark at range.
You can right-click scanned sites and select warp to 10/20/30/50/70/100 KM. There's no way you can fight a stealth bomber with a t1 exploration ship, so your best bet is trying to disengage. Most stealth bombers will use warp disrupters, not scramblers, so try overheating your MWD to burn out of range. The sig boom will make you take more damage from the torps but if they already have you warp disrupted there's no other chance to get away. Alternatively you can fit warp core stabilizers or agility lows to try and resist their disrupters or warp out before they can rupt you. That or just don't go to sites when you know there's a stealth bomber in system.

Is defensive plexing worth it?
In gallante fields it seems like defensive systems are 20% contested at most
So even though there is basically 0 risk to plexing them, the lp payout it 4 times lower than that in offensive areas
When people say FW is profitable they dont mean this, do they? 5-7k lp per site doesnt seem like much to me
But im new to this

What would be the *typical* gallente lp to isk conversion rate? So I can put my time investment into perspective
>>
>>175306817
Sounds awesome.

Do everyone see the same (unscanned) cosmic signatures as everyone else? I don't know if that's something that's affected by some skill. Or do many people simply not give a fuck about scanning and finding wormholes?

>>175311941
Aye. Everyone has a scanner overlay which shows you scannable signatures and cosmic anomalies (besides other things like landmarks and citidels). Anomalies are accessible to everyone, while signatures are only accessible via scan probes. I think anomalies are combat sites while sigs are data, relic or gas. You're safe sitting in a signature site so long as anyone else doesn't have a probe launcher or bookmark to the site.
I don't know why more people don't exploit wormholes or signatures. I guess its to do with risk, comfort zones, conditioning, etc.

From my experience wormholes are generally safe, so long as you're careful to watch d-scan and don't accidentally fly into a sleeper site. You'll be able to gauge what's dangerous on d-scan through experience. I've watched a small frigate using core scanners before and judged him no threat. Occasionally I see a miner or hauler moving about, scan them down and watch them run back to their PoS.
>>
So I used to play this game some years back (the only spreadsheet I still have says 2012) and seem to remember buying a plex or two before quitting.
Is the game still the same shit?
As in sea of blue, fights are about who has the biggest blob, sov grind is a pain in the ass because nobody likes timers and shooting structures. Actually fun skirmishes between somewhat equal fleets never happen.

I remember spending less and less time in null and more and more time watching my hisec alt drill roids while waiting for my market flipping to happen. It may have paid for my account but it sure wasn't fun.

I can fly a vni but my skills arent yet at a level where I can do so effectively
Ive just tried offensive plexing in my shitfit atron and I cant even kill the state frigates. They do almost no damage to me but my blasters are so short ranged i can't get close enough to damage them either. So yeah, I'm shit
I dont think that level 2 missions are worth doing considering that I still can make 40-ish million per hour while mostly afk

It's a t1 frigate. You have drones V, and a flight of t1 [your choice of lights] will work fine.

That resist profile is going to be hard for an Atron to break. Atrons tend to run reppers even though they are more suited for a hull tank. He has more HP in his armor, good resist profile, and can repair it.

Lots of atrons fly with a dc2 in the low slot which puts the resist where the repper isn't working.

Hobs are used because they're the highest base damage
Warriors are used because they're the fastest. You only use EM drones if you're shooting into a particular EM hole and you have the space in the first place. It's the sentry drones that are a bit more varied in use.

Well they are the best against rats as far as i know, since npcs have the lowest em resistance on average (compared to other resistances across the factions)

Im not too sure about pvp, but basically shield tanks are weak against EM
Armor are weak against explosive
But people counter that with modules so its all roughly the same and therefore the base highest dps ends up being the best dps overall, I guess.

Its where speed range and tracking makes the difference, but im not too good at judging the value of those stats yet "tracking 432.5" means nothing to me.

So my fit is passable at the end of it all? Noone gave me a straight answer
>>
>>175349575
>"tracking 432.5" means nothing to me

you compare it to another weapon. 100 is twice as good as 50, etc.

>So my fit is passable at the end of it all?

if it's the one in the square brackets, then yes it's passable but could be better. if you're in lowsec I'd change it to hull tanking rigs: this doesn't make it tank more exactly, but it moves some of your effective ehp from the rep, which requires paste, time and capacitor. the rest of it is fine, even if you're using suboptimal drones such as hobgoblins or warriors

you could swap the blasters for rails if you like, up to you
>>
>tfw no cluster
>>
>>175349769
Thank you
I see what you mean about the rep, it gives me tue exact same repairs if my armor is 100 or a 1000
My hull resists are actually better anyways because of the damage control.

What would be the *optimal* drones?
I cant use tier II drones yet and medium/heavy/sentry drones take up too much bandwidth on a tiny frig like tristan.
Are ewar drones a meme? Or would swapping out my webifier module (for a cap booster or drone tracking/navigation enchancer) and using a web drone be a good idea?

drone ships rely on damage drones to do damage. ecm drones can sometimes not be a meme if you are not flying a ship with a drone damage bonus, but you're basically an arsehole if you use them and should kys. all the other types of ewar drones are trash, especially web drones

>>175352163
Eve skills can't really be directly compared to other games.
Given time you can do anything with one character. SP beyond a certain point just means you can perfectly fly more than one races ships. Granted that's gotten more weight since more cross race ships have been added. But unlike other games a 1mil SP character can have more fun than a 100 mil SP character depending on how they want to leverage that SP. 1v1 me faggot shitfits vs jerking off in your giant metal dick for instance.
>>
>>175353295
Just train 4 levels of heron and then train gallente V. Or, y'know, use an Imicus.
>>
>>175353310
The game is balanced around everything having perfect skills. That's just the only real way to balance so much leveling. You're missing the problem though.

The character joining at 50k SP with no experience has no reason to keep playing after finding 20 years of progression in the forefront.
Even more, his friends aren't going to be at the same place as him when he has enough of the game to probably recommend it -- efficient at dealing with veterans. That's the point, you know? Being competitive..

It can be compared to other games and it would be in any scenario with previous MMO experience, maybe even games at all. The average money sink is to max out game skills to practice actually being good at the game, or perchance hearing a story, but that's another discussion.
>>
>>175353539
I have over 100mil SP.

Know how much of that helps me if I'm flying a frigate? Or my favourite class, destroyers?

SP totals are pretty irrelevant really.
>>
>>175353637
But frigates aren't the main draw of the game. Playing a variety of classes and industrial niches are, because it's an MMO.

>>175354247
Disappears after ~2 minutes, unless you have an agression timer, in which case it disappears once that timer is over. (Top left, it'd be a red or a yellow icon)

I don't go on them anyway :^)

That's a skillbook. Not a ship. A tengu hull alone is 125mil, then you need five subsystems even before you start fitting.

>You go all Vs in EFT because it makes comparisons easier.
I'm not getting your point. It's the way the game is understood -- balance. ..Tuning.

You mean, "you use your own skills to determine if the fit is actually worth flying".
>>
>>175354491
>Nobody has perfect skills.

Ship and all relevant support skills at 5 with weapon spec 4 is pretty common. And it doesn't take 400m SP to get there, more like 50-150 depending on how many ships you actually fly.
>>
>>175354704
Not even 50 unless you chaotically crosstrain into everything.
>>
>>175354681
That doesn't mean the game is balanced about all V. Total fucking non sequitur.
>>
>>175354806
Saying the game is balanced around max skills doesn't mean it's imba at lower skills. I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
>>
>>175354767
>>175354704

My fucking super pilot has under 40, and that includes jdc/jfc V and all flavours of t2 fighters.
>>
>>175354806
>>175354918
..But I would say that equal pilots with IV vs V skills would have an obvious winner like 90% of the time, because there's not much to do wrong in most cases. This isn't an instrument level of gameplay. It's skills on auto-repeat and some spacing.
>>
>>175354918
It's not balanced around max skills.
>>
>>175355118
Assuming identical fits, it'd go to the better pilot. The 2% gain here and there wouldn't make that much of a difference.
>>
>>175355132
You're not stating an argument.

>>175355175
It's not just 2%. There are skills affecting everything, multiple even -- it's 5%, 8%, 10%, mobility, speed, damage, HP -- everything.
>>
It's not balanced around max skills. EFT and Pyfa have literally nothing to do with ccp. It's to show the paper dps of the fit. Kill yourself
>>
>>175355240
And the difference between 4 and 5 is minuscule, and often locked behind a month or more of training.

Put me in a tengu with an identical fit to a lowsec superhero who actually knows how to fly it, with half of my SP, and he will win every time.

There's also a gross understatement on how much fun it is to fly different ships and playstyles per ship, or how necessary. I'm not talking about what a pilot can do at three hours, but what he can really do, unpredictably, at 10M, 20M, and 30M SP. That's at least, what, 6 months of training..

>>175355307

This isn't about EFT as programs being or not being from CCP. They show the stats that the game provide.

Is it not obvious that a game balanced around V skills will be balanced around IV skills? It would seem ridiculous to say that the game is balanced around every metric, IIIs, IVs, and Vs, combating each other.

>>175356851
But you can't reasonably experience all of that immediately, and not efficiently enough to be interested in it.

Other MMOs have that experience right at max level. You don't have to sub more or pay extra to get "full marketing slots" or even equal gear now. WoW actually has a very minimal stat distribution for PvP from max level gear to max-max level gear. There's a stat distribution per class that's given in any PvP instance, predefined.

You're meme'ing though. You don't get to fly T3Ds or T3Cs (the majority of ships flown for PvP -- 17.3k for the top 10 slots on ZKB are T3Cs, the next being Interceptors..) within the first month, realistically. In other MMOs, a platform exists to play somewhat equally (raids being story content beyond dungeons, PvE obviously not the strong point of MMOs) at every level beyond the last ding. That's not the point though. Should all content be available with a sub? Should "new characters" be able to defend themselves against T3 campers? The answer is "of course". EVE is a game that should be advertised for real skill gameplay.. not veterancy bonuses providing fake skill KBs.

Yea it is, when you can "max level" in less than a week of gameplay, thats nothing at all to boast about. They've casualized WoW so much since 2007 its disgusting. What used to take a few months to get to top level now takes sub 2 weeks because they want to pump their business model full of shit and when you get to "max level" you immediately start end game content which is dogshit because thats all you do. Do some garbage end game shit move onto the next garbage end game shit then move on until theres none left.

I can tell you haven't been playing long at all because in my situation the things I do go far beyond in game skill levels that any sort of skill revolves around my abilities and knowledge as a player, not as a character.

There is so much more to EVE than just skill points and if you can't see anything beyond a skill number you're really blind and ignorant to the greater realm of what EVE has to offer

Other MMO's employ the EXACT same thing as EVE in putting content behind a level system. GW2 does it too, Albion Online does it. Every game with progression locks content behind some kind of requirement barrier.

>Skill queuing is content that surpasses any skill req.?
How fucking stupid can you be, you're so retarded that you can't fucking read so you read 2 words and somehow integrate it into something irrelevant.

I super hunt a lot, when hunting supers I don't rely on my cloaky camper alts and ships that took maybe 3 weeks train as much as I do on my ability to use the information thats provided to me through my patients, my spies, the API, the metadata everything. I have maybe 6 cloaky alts and 4 spies gathering information when ever I use them to do so and calculate a very predictable path on where a super I'm hunting is likely to go. You'd be surprised how little SP is involved in any of this. But please tell me how SP as a content blocker is inhibiting content in this game because apparently only ships and modules are content.

>>175362929
>The question is what it takes to support T3C gameplay.
Do you even need to ask this? How don't you fucking know.

You need the ability to harvest wormhole relic/data sites with look and wreck salvage. Mix that with a slew of T2 PI shit and the ability (or rather money) to buy up BPO's make BPC's research BPC's to invent T2 BPC's research those to make T3 BPC's including all the associated modules. Source minerals and T2 moon goo and for all intents and purposes have the ability to source all of this shit yourself. None of which is really reliant on skills rather than your logistical ability of gathering them. Its more like a scavenger hunt than a real SP locked content since theres virtually no SP requirement for any of it since you can source it by other means.

>>175363353
Its not. I hope you'd play a game longer than 2-3 months

What I consider a long time is like 2 years which is what it took me to train my Avatar pilot from scratch before SP injectors at +5 skills and proper skill alignment. Grinding that isk took about as long since I paid for tons of shit along the way.

2-3 months isn't jack shit. Hell jumping from subcaps to capitals is about that long. Jump Drive Operation V, Advanced Spaceship Command V, Jump drive calibration and fuel conservation to at LEAST 4.

24hrs. per class to unlock everything vs. 20 years? That's the argument? "There are levels within both games.."

>I use 10 characters, all trained with SP, to hunt Supers, the engagement of which would take a lot of SP
You're not making a point. So what, there are things that can be done with low amounts of SP? Is that a suggestion that any single friend can recruit enough to train enough to become relevant?

>>175363528
You're weighing the SP needed to produce T3Cs, but that would be in addition to flying it (and is unnecessary because the question is how to afford 500k-1kk every X, and how much Y to train for it, not how to train up every single skill required to grind out T3Cs).

The fact that there's such a discrepancy between grinding the materials and ISK probably deserves a whole other discussion, but it's not one in favor of the newer character (what is that, now, 50M SP max?)..

So, bullshit, though.. PI requires SP. Researching BPs has the time equivalent of SP. Marketing requires SP, as getting all of that for production isn't feasible..

Because its 100% impractical to be able to run every Titan on one character, every super carrier and every dreadnought plus a fucking rorqual. No one does it because thats not efficient so stop thinking you need to be able to unlock everything to function adequately in this game because its not true

>SAYS YOU
I can cite plenty of articles or just pure logical arguments. Hiding behind your experience and not even how you would feel if it was taken from you to start over (if you really like the game, you would keep playing, right?) seems pretty awful, at best.

>>175364625
So, what are you saying, that having one of each Titan, dreadnought, etc. shouldn't exist? Why? Who gives a shit if it's practical? That's a pretty extreme case, but having the option to field specific damage types / resists / whatever could be necessary in some way.
>>
>>175365012
>That number is for all stats.
That no one does because thats hyper inefficient.

You gonna train a titan alt who can also make level 5 Jan Yung technology for those stupid rare story line modules?

>I can cite plenty of articles
really because you've cited none so far and made these projections not even based on conjecture but because you said so.

Who are you to say that the 6 years I've put into this game was awful and time wasting and bad because I put all the time effort and skill into acquiring all my assets, skills and shit

you wanna play WoW for more than a month? you gotta pay money you fucking dolt. There is no difference between EVE and WoW in this regard. No amount of you bitching that skill requirements are locked behind content walls which are evident in EVERY GAME EVER will change that. You seem to think that content requirements are exclusive to EVE hypocritically ignoring every other game including the ones you cite.

You are so fucking stupid if you wanna strawman my shit like this. No one trains all 4 titans on one character, let alone every other fucking skill such as a dread. A character with all titan skills to 5 but only can fly one titan at a time gains NOTHING by wasting time training all those other skills.

No one does it because its not efficient. No one trains for a Leviathan AND a Ragnarok. Thats fucking stupid

>You shouldnt remove any character development and growth and transfer it directly to skill
See >>175361519. The game has plenty of things that other characters aren't going to see. SP shouldn't be any sort of focus for what's essentially just necessary to play a niche of the game.

Furthermore, goals should be set beyond "I can fly ship with X maxed SP". Skill queues aren't an interesting game interaction. If the reply here is "but you can do anything with low SP", the question really is what extent. The implication that "anything is possible" doesn't make the game any more accessible or fun for a group of friends trying to get into the game, because everything takes SP, and they're not going to be able to stand against players with larger SP pools, even just because of the variety. What's the honest suggestion, get into exploration?

>This is that and not flawed
There's no provision for SP as a mechanic listed in this thread. "I had to do this" and "time gating is good, really" doesn't cut it. So.. here we are.

You CAN do everything withing the first 2 weeks of playing
Want to explore? Here is a t1 frig

You want the best modules in the game? Even alpha clones can use most of the premium meta modules.

Only *gate* is that you dont get the best possible stats or ship variations right off the bat.
However since wow keeps popping up as an example, some people do raids for months and months and months to get a specific gear drop that benefits them.
And if we are going to get into vanity like wanting to pilot all the ships from all the factions, you are basically saying that you want to have ever class and every race combinqtion in an mmo, maxed, in under 3 months.

And yes, it is exactly that, each faction has its *racial niche* like armor tank or droneboats
And those split into mostly similar classes
Supers, destroyers, industrials.

Wanting to get all of everything in a short time osnt only against your interest as a player
Its against the developers interests. They do need to make money somehow, or you wpuldnt have a game to begin with, and to feel enjoymejt as a player artificial scarcity plays a big role.
In other *traditional*mmos you get an expansion, and suddenly everyone plays for a few months
Everyone gets everything and finishes all of the available content and then quits until the next expansion.

This isnt the case with eve, because there is a lot more value in acomplishing goals, both monetary, and personal given that you invest a lot of time.
This investment ends up keeping the core players and also offering newer players who enjoy the genre something to aim for.
You can buy everything for 28k but if you pay that much to the devs why wouldnt you have it?

>>175371912
Stabs in wormholes are mostly useless since you will get bubbled more oftej than disrupted
I personally run all inertial stabilizers in lows so my align time is about 2sec
This lets you warp to safety in clutch moments just before you get locked onto, if you have decent reflexes
But generally with cloaks and safe spots and warping to sites at 100km to check for potential bubbles, you shouldnt ever die
I havent lost a single ship in a wormhole for a while and i run sites daily.

>>
>>175372416
Think of them as crutches, once you learn to use insta undock bookmarks (look those up) you wont need them ever unless you are in a slow-aligning ship in lowsec
Null/wormholes have bubbles and stabs dont help with that.

And when you can align faster than people can lock onto you to scram you, you have nothing to worry about. So consider this: stabs saved your life, but would it need saving if you were out of there before that guy had the chance to react to you?

Let's pretend for a post this is mostly a PvP game. Fresh characters within a 3 month window aren't going to reasonably specialize into anything to do it well. A character engagement is likely coming at most V skills, and those skillsets will mostly win (with equal piloting skill).

>Only *gate* is that you dont get the best possible stats or ship variations right off the bat.
T2 ammo? Scanning? T2 ships (cloaky as a valid playstyle almost completely), T3Ds (some of the most popular ships, without a real solo counter in the frigate-dessy categories).. So the initial playstyle is supposed to explore, fly T1/fact. frigates, and maybe Industry/trade some? They still have to cross-train like no other game just to experience a small amount ships, not to mention other factions.

The very crux of this discussion is how much of a game this would be without a bunch of absolutely unnecessary gates. Is being a pretty shitty jack of all trades for quite a while fun in EVE? Maybe, but how cool would it be to set any goal?

Do you really choose WoW and "jack of all trades" for your central arguments? Probably anybody that's played Vanilla through LK would criticize WoW for what it is.

>And if we are going to get into vanity like wanting to pilot all the ships from all the factions, you are basically saying that you want to have ever class and every race combinqtion in an mmo, maxed, in under 3 months.
There isn't an argument against that. There are so many things to do except SP. Player interest? Playing the game. Developer interest? Really supporting gameplay through PLEX, for any whale that would now be interested in experiencing the game without paying for what seems like DLC.


Making a better game than WoW isn't particularly challening.

you can save incursions by removing the retarded payout mechanics and instead have a fixed payout that will be split equally among all victorious fleet members on grid

Eve IS a mostly pvp game
If its not player versus player its player with player because even mining trading and manufacturing is infinitely better in a group.
Actually, I would argue that you can go around 90% of these "gates" by just not playing solo and getting help.
When engaging other players it is not as unbalanced as you say it is. You obviously havent played faction warfare or participated in a fleet
Having rookies pilot tacklers can save some supers ass, and in FW i was getting kills solo, as an alpha.
There are pros but its easy to check someones name in chat
Playing since 2010? Bail
A year or less? Engage.

T2 ammo and t2 ships is exactly that
Tiers. You can still do everything there is to do, jist not quite as good, and if you learn you like mining, you can start training for that nice big exhumer or rorq. You neednt crosstrain at ALL to try all those ships since all of them are available as soon as you create a character.
Cloaking is also viable with t1 explorer frigs
Having multiple accounts is normal in eve, so having different characters specialize different things is rewarded (injectors are worth more because of the lower sp totals)
Being a jack of all trades is viable, but takes considerably longer and actually costs more than having 3-4 alts for mining+exploring/pvp/pve/trade+industry
Wow is an easy example since almost every other mmo out there follows the same formula
Very few, like eve, do not

A person like you needs to admit that these mmos are not for you. And instead you should have a look at instanced nearly single player experiences like path of exile, diablo or vindictus
And even then you wont have a perfect sandbox.
Go oj a test server, fuck about in a titan for a few hours and then report back and tell all of us how fun it was


Probably not comparable to the level of excitement a real titan pilot feels while slugging around in 3000$ ship that costed him years of time and investment
Thats difference is what makes eve good

There used to be mines but they were removed because they were cancer. The only bombs in the game are the bombs that stealth bombers use. They fly about 30 KM straight ahead of your ship the direction it's moving and explode, damaging everything within 15 KM but they typically don't do enough damage on their own to kill anything so the only time they get used are in bomber fleets where you coordinate around half a dozen bombers to all launch a bomb at the same time before warping off. Can turn the tide of big fleet fights pretty fast. But as for the whole "I'm just going to leave this here to explode when someone comes near it," no, nothing like that.

>>175382387
Just hop in a disposable ship and go for it. No one will care if you lose an Atron and as long as you at least do something to the super before it dies whether you lose your ship or not you'll get on the KM.
>>
>>175382001
Actually no
A lot of its cost is from the training itself. Making a few billion with the help of your very big corp wouldnt take long
Big battles in eve had hundreds of titans involved
Its the actual training process that matters more.
And ive already explained how artificial scarcity works
How exactly would removing sp even work? Everyone can do anything right off the bat given that they have enough money for it?
Where is progression in that? Just buying bigger ships?
If you dont think that proper player profession is something of key importance then there is no point in trying to reason with you.

And we can categorise players
Those that play the game and enjoy it
And those who play the game and cry because they would rather have it be something entirely different

still free isk, just warp to another anom if they stop ratting. as long as you're cloaked there is no way for them to find out who you are. i've got 6 alts in ASCEE and Karmafleet and not one has been kicked yet.
>>
>>175383445
>A lot of its cost is from the training itself.
You're really suggesting over $1500 in skillbooks? It's 6B ISK to train for a Titan. That can still exist, but without the time.

>It's the actual training process that matters more
Except for all the Titans that could exist in space without it.. not to mention other classes.

>And ive already explained how artificial scarcity works
Which wouldn't benefit the argument of SP. Artificially reducing pilot learning (from experience) processes, and reducing socialization potential (value.. status) both remove a deep core to the game. You can't be you if the game's constantly locking you in a room with little company. That's indefensible.

>How would removing sp even work? Everyone can do anything right off the bat given that they have enough money for it?
>Where is progression in that? Just buying bigger ships?
I shouldn't have to reference the same picture in the same line of posts, but here >>175361519 ..

>If you dont think that proper player profession is something of key importance then there is no point in trying to reason with you.
Which is ironic, because you can't actually roleplay SP properly. There's a whole learning speed that's completely undermined by gating everything, and the biggest aspect of roleplay is confidence.. not to mention options.

>And we can categorise players
>Those that play the game and enjoy it
>And those who play the game and cry because they would rather have it be something entirely different
That's not the base reduction for this conversation. Roleplay is already mentioned. Satisfaction is. Yet there's honestly no expectation that you can logically prove anything by stating that the game is how it is.

Can you please..
Stop ..

The real point of exploration, I think, is to explore unknown parts of space. Finding abandoned MTUs full of loot; Poorly defended PoS to claim; building a folder of intel on players and corps you come across. etcetera.

Relic/data sites are just the incentive to really interact with the player base. I've heard it said that CCP are 'trying to move people to null'. I'm not so sure this is the case, rather get people engaging with one another on a larger scale. When exploring you see much more of EVE, and with that many more opportunities.

>move people to null
Null is already populated, it's w-space that is the problem.

CCP should nerf high class wormhole income and make it easier to live in them without having 1000 alts.

Maybe a sov-like system could allow you to close holes so that HK can't simply roll until they find you. A system scan upgrade could provide local chat intel every 5 minutes.

Reduced high class income would mean that the cancerous corps that evict everyone trying to make a living there would move to lowsec to run lvl5s and w-space would become what it was meant to be, a safe space for smaller corporations to grow until they can hold their own in nullsec.

>>175387941
>>175388129
w-space is CCPs solution to the question of how not to always give the advantage to the bigger group.

in other games about territory control like rust or dayz the group that can get the biggest numbers is always at an unquestioned advantaged. w-space would be like having an island in said games that randomly pops up in diffirent locations.

The advantage you get is that you have a natural defence against the big blob you otherwise wouldn't have, the price you pay is that your progress is limited to the very island/solar system you inhabit unlike the megacorp wich always has room to make even more power and money.
>>
>>175387941
>CCP should nerf high class wormhole income and make it easier to live in them without having 1000 alts.
They already did nerf high class income by over 25%

It was such a bad nerf that people stopped living in C5 space to the point that C5's went from the most popular WH's to the LEAST popular in less than a month.

Now everyone does C2 sites in confessors and shit.

Only russians do C6 sites in rattlesnakes you'll never be able to catch

A non-sov holding null PvP corp.
We mostly did smalltime roaming fleets and did our best to find fights. Was fun when we found fights but without any sort of "corp provides ships/fits" policy it was a touch expensive especially since we didn't have access to the good null ores/rats.

I'm not sure what "alpha" means but I assume it's some sort of a sub free "trial" shit

Can probably pull 40-60M/hr if you play FW, staying in site space until you rack up points to spend at the store. Wouldn't recommend hauling on that alt though.. A hauler comes with like 1hr training.

>>175413682
Salvaging and exploration are both a hell of a lot easier from an out of game skill perspective and don't require directly screwing over your alliance mates. Not to say that bounty leeching is hard, it just requires some knowledge of the metagame for your alliance. Also requires being in a sovnull alliance.

Over the past few months it has become increasingly clear that we have served (only) as a meatshield. Circle-Of-Two is NOT a meatshield. We will not stand as the wall that defends Catch from the angry hordes for the benefit of TEST. We will no longer subject our pilots to the indecency of watching their hard work burn while TEST sit in their ivory tower. We will no longer stand as an unequal partner in the Legacy coalition. For the good of our members we will be separating ourselves from the Legacy coalition with a full and complete reset of all Legacy coalition member alliances as of 2017.05.01 at 00:01 EVE Time.

So I guess it's better to save my aurum? Or just buy some skins to sell them now? I need some ISKs for a PLEX. I can wait for a patch though.
>>
>>175447020
Your 2000 AUR will turn into 285 (286 if they round up, but don't bet on it) of the new version of PLEX.

That's 285 out of the 500 you'll need to get 30 days Omega. If you think you can get 700-ish mil ISK for those 2000 AUR right now, do it. Otherwise, wait until the patch.

okay I usually get like 15m-30m doing relic shit on a races exploration ship just doing the abandoned no enemies sites. What kind of isk am I looking at if I bookmark and come back with a cruiser or something to try to clear the area up. If its defended then surely that shit most be holding way more isk.
>>
>>175447973
Sleeper data/relic sites are one class harder than the wormhole site they're in.

Overall, they're a hassle and don't yield good hacking loot. And for NPC loot, you can just clear anomalies.

>If its defended then surely that shit most be holding way more isk.

It actually doesn't. The bulk of the money is in killing defenders.
>>
>>175448373
Aren't sleeper data/relic sites the source of some of the parts needed to make T3 BPCs?
>>
If I sit in a novice plex in low sec, will anyone actually come? I'm not in a faction. I just want the pvp.
>>
>>175448373
useful info, thanks

>>175448631
The quantities dropped are below the value of relic site salvage, and they end up being too bulky for hacking frigs most of the time. I've been living in wormholes for a while, trust me when I say they're not worth your time.

Ratting profitably and hacking profitably are entirely separate things in contemporary EVE, even though this was not always the case.

I have two chars specializing in
- mining
- exploration/hacking

is there any reason for me to join a corp from a tax standpoint? omega acc.

>still registered with the default newb corp because I haven't bothered with it
>>
>>175449501
Well, npc corp tax is 11%, and some corps tax is 0%, so...
>>
Should I join Lazerhawks, or should I join/start an NPC null pirate group and go raiding sovnull mining ops when moongoo changes happen?

Because I honestly can't make up my mind.
>>
>>175449501
For mining, corp members can give you mining boosts so your mining yield increases significantly.

For exploration/hacking there is literally zero reason to join a corp.
>>
Can you put skins on your ships? Not like alternate models, but like putting paint skins on tanks in World of Tanks.

Do they delete old trial accounts that never paid? Like could I buy a subscription and use it on an old trial account from 6 years ago or do I have to start over and wait another week before I can do anything?
>>
>>175450125
>corp members can give you mining boosts
False, you only need to be in fleet, corp has nothing to do with it.
>>
>>175451683
Did you have any significant riches in your old acc? Just start new char.
>>
>>175451683
If you still have the info, you should be able to access old trials.
>>
>>175451807
>Did you have any significant riches in your old acc?
No, but Eve is still a pay-2-wait game, isn't it? I'd like to be able to fly something other than the smallest frigate for 2 weeks until I learn stuff again if I did go back to/actually properly start playing.
>>
>>175449706
yes, I am aware of the tax difference but afaik the corp tax doesn't apply to selling minerals and relics?

>The tax rate determines what percentage of bounties and mission rewards generated by corporation members will be transferred to the corporation wallet. The rate can be anywhere from 0% to 100%, but a high tax rate might deter people from joining. Most corporations have a tax rate between 5% and 10%.
>>
>>175451957
It really depends on how much SP you had.

New pilots 6 years ago started with almost no skills, whereas they start with over 400k these days, and if you refer a new account, you'll get 250k extra SP to apply (one time for the whole account, accessed through the item redemption).
>>
>>175451683
You can log into your old trial account for free right now if you wanted to.
>>
Kevin!
>>
>>175451683
Nope, they're still there.

>mfw I found an old account and I can't get into any corps because they think I spent three years carebearing in an NPC corp

Being a CEO is alotta trouble and not only that it takes alotta time. Even if you assign roles to trustworthy members many times they will be lazy because it's a game or realize they have a better use of their time because it's a game. If you have enough people or are doing enough things you cease to actually play said game and it becomes simply keeping the gears grinding on the imaginary train.

I pay money to work a second job is a phrase I hear alot concerning this subject. That said I have never spoken to one who was an autistic cuck that I know of as it's really hard to maintain the social element without actual social skills. I've never had any relations with TEST though s I can't vouch for everyone.

Tax money was nice

if I set up my own station can I escape transaction costs, or even make money off people buying/selling there?
>>
>>175452915
nobody wants to trade in your station
>>
I played for like a month and a half back in '14
How long does it take to get 250k SP? Because I don't know if I should start from scratch or just use the old account
>>
>>175454395
Assuming you remapped your attributes correctly, 250k sp is about 4-5 days (at omega training speed)
>>
>>175423245
>Tfw you unironically called him a cuck and got kicked from CO2 for it after CO2 moved out of Tenal
>>
>>175454667
I didn't, cause I didn't read a guide or anything back then
>>
>>175454395
How much SP does your old character have?
>>
>>175455013
~3 million, allocated like shit probably
>>
>>175452987
No matter. Can I make it my NEET forever-along fortress?
>>
>>175455217
to build off this: what's the smallest permanent station I can have in low/high-sec? I just want to do fittings I guess. mobile stations are okay, but a bit small and defenseless
>>
>>175455217
You go to wormhole space to do that.

You should probably use your old character then. Unless you really don't like its name or something.
>>
>>175455553
Alright, I will keep the account. I made a new one to re-learn the basics before getting back to the old one since I don't remember a thing, thanks

Stopped playing 4 years ago. I remember there was a huge war against the Goons. Whatever happened? Who won?
>>
>>175457597
goons moved out of deklein and into delve. both sides think they won
>>
>>175457860
>goons thinking they won when GOTG took the best space from them
>"hurr durr we saved our super fleet"
>>
>>175458075
all the people shooting goons who don't now live in what was goon space, did they win? they kicked goons out so some alliance they are temporarily allied with could move in
>>
>>175457860

Thanks.

Is Mittani still a a faggot?
>>
>>175458075
I think at least some people were annoyed there wasn't really a huge capital fight. Which I imagine was the expectation. Instead it was mostly shuffling of sovereignty.

>>175458191
Why would you think he'd stop?

Nobody won
