>Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
If you have to ask, you can't do it.

>I just started, what should I do?
Do the Opportunities then find the Career Agents & run all of their 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.

>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No.

hey guys there is a new /eog/ channel called Avada's Tears. y'all should check it out, this channel is more of a seriousfag channel, mostly talking about WH life, posting dank frags, and much more.

come chill with Tengoo guys and a few retarded memers like maquari (he behaves in that channel tho).

any way come check it out, kick back, and chillax with some v-bros. I'll catch ya on the flip side.

So how do you see non-RNG jams?
1% chance of jamming means it jams you on first cycle and then 99 next cycles are guaranteed misses?
It would end up being exactly the same, except no miracle RNG jam fails.
You'd be soundly fucked against a prepared ecm fleet that can jam you on every cycle because they can get enough jammers to bring it up to 100%.

At least the way it is now, RNG is working in your favour.

why do stupid broke ass motherfuckers keep recommending incursions?

you nerds know that shit is poverty-tier income right?

>>
>>143917223
>1% chance of jamming means it jams you on first cycle and then 99 next cycles are guaranteed misses?
thats not how RNG works.

You flip two coins, each coin has a 1/2 chance of being heads

you don't always get heads then a tails or vice versa when you flip two coins, you could get heads-heads, heads-tails, or tails-heads, and if the order matters, tails-heads.

even with a 1% to jam you could get jammed on a fucking fluke and your targetting is disabled for 30 seconds
>>
Remove ecm entirely.
>>
>>143917435
>yeah, rng is fine because how potent it is
No thats fucking stupid, its entirely erroneous and no other EWAR relies on RNG
>>
>>143917435

first off incursions aren't for new players
secondly, faction warfare all day every day

or shit just buy plex and stop being a fucking pubbie trying to rat2riches

>>143917596

because other ewar isn't as potent as ecm
>>
>>143917438
How about you don't skip the first sentence.
This was the non-RNG part. To make it a fixed jam/fail.

Which is a bad idea, as exemplified by the rest of the post.

>>143917641
>the cuck who spends irl money to literally blow it up is back
>>
>>143917667
Thats not an argument, you're trying to force potency despite having nothing behind it.

ECM shouldn't work on RNG, its completely skillless and theres no application to it, it either jams or it doesn't Absolutely no guarantee

meanwhile with all the other EWAR, you are guaranteed a certain effect on a ship, 50% to lock range, target speed, tracking disruption etc

>>143918025
There is no determinant with ECM, it jams or it doesn't jam

Every other ECM is guaranteed effect.
>>
>>143918027
it is easy, in the time it takes you to train minimally into incursions you can do level 3's in a dinky cruiser and save money
>>
>>143918148

yeah, and again, the difference is the potency
>>
>>143918467
Potency isn't even an argument, you're just saying "potency" as if it means anything when it certainly doesn't
>>
>>143918539

the whole argument around ecm is that its too fucking strong dipshit
>>
>>143918627
No its not, it was never about strength it was about bullshit RNG

No one said anything about strength, you could have 1 jam strength and still jam a titan despite it having 500+ sensor strength regardless

Reduce the size of FW zones

Have only a single constellation be contested every week. Players are pressed down to this zone, meaning nowhere to hide and plenty of targets. Both sides of the conflict have a staging system where they have a station with clone services.


Ensure more even fights

FW Plexes now have both a size limit and a numerical limit of ships. There exist solo plexes, small group plexes, and fleet plexes. Another change to plexes is that capturing a plex requires the player to be within a short distance and hits all players with an infini-point like a HIC. The plex also prevents targets from D-scanning in or out, so players never know what or who they'll be engaging.


Reduce refit/return time

Home stations within contested stations have a new service that allows players to purchase modular, pre-fit ships. The fitted modules can be chosen through a menu, and once the ship is purchased, the fittings cannot be removed without being destroyed, like rigs.

Ships can either be purchased with raw ISK or loyalty points. By doing faction warfare, most players, even ones on the losing side, should make enough loyalty points to cover replacement ships for rapid engagements.


Inclusion for non-combat players

In addition to rapid combat deployment, more industrial minded players also have an avanue to help their compatriots. New logistic corps exist and give players objectives to deliver goods to the current contested home station of their faction. For every item delivery order completed, the price of replacement ships for the faction's milita is reduced. Thus, guarding the logistic supply chain throughout the contested constellation's various zones becomes an activity of itself, with larger fleets hoping to guard valuable industrial vessels through space.

>>
>>143922030
In addition, high density asteroid fields regularly spawn within the constellation, guarded with a light faction navy presence, hostile to all players not in the militia or logistics corp which denies access to non-militia miners. The asteroids that spawn are extra dense versions of themselves (Resulting in faster overall mining) and include all types needed to build the modules and ships requested for drop off. In this way, the contested zone of FW becomes a complete ecosystem where minerals are mined and ships are built and destroyed, like a super compact version of New Eden.

Remove FW. Most people in the zone don't even belong to militia and are just there for fights.

mining is the backbone of eve economy i am insuly by fact that the player killers in this game would even dare to try to compare their unserious proffesion to the truly thinking mans life dream eve is the has beeen in the forefront of advanced simulation of market data and thanks to countles studies we all know that eve is the best game for this i think ccp should just remove shooting players all together it adds nothing to the game and just generates lost minerals instead we should all just keep building ships forver and make vast loads of them in order to have them this is what i did when i was in all-out but since they stole my medium gun machariel i realize they trylu do not share my dream thus i am also i think that we need to remove system security since concord do not respond in null when my svipul gets ganked by the noctis player using such a ship for a dirty job is truly not pallatable and i thunk u all should reconsider your careeers in eve but that is just my tought even thought i am right so just so you know so stop arguing and lets discuss the best mining setups for players with low amounts of isk okay guys but do not forget that i need some so please send in case i need it but i can t afford to pay back since i am poor and lose svipul in lowsec also do not ever stop mining my friends mining is truly the best i really enjoy it i think ccp needs to buff it rhough since i only earn 2 million isk per cycle can anyone help i think since it is clearly bugged i do not know what to do and i am kind of tired so do not come of as snarky or i will report u to the mdoeratos and they will ban you because i know them irl and know they hate you all sicne they are truly secret miners as well but i think yoi call know this since i essentially control this baord and do not ever forget this just so you know but anyway lets also kill white stag since they are so bad at the game i truly wish goosn would come back so i could use my main to farm guirsatas pirates in deklin.

so just fix their stats so they aren't shitty. I don't want to see more meme modules or retarded bullshit immunities

alternatively just pretend they don't exist, and put a big warning for new players saying they're garbage and not to train for them. AFs being useless doesn't do much bad for the game. nerfing the overpowered stuff would be way more beneficial and easy

>>143925962

they sure do have a use, T1 logi, T1 ewar and hell T1 dps frigs as a whole have a use purely because they're miles cheaper

>>143926274
its more faction frigs that outclass them often for cheaper
>>
>>143925994
>nerfing the overpowered stuff would be way more beneficial and easy
No it wouldn't

The AF's haven't been touched in 6 years, the rest of the game moved forward and they stayed behind

repurposing and rebalancing AF's is miles easier than nerfing literally everything else. the AF's are such fucking garbage no one uses them, they have wonky stats and bonuses, hell the Wolf is fucking garbage and so is the jaguar. The only remotely useful ones are the harpy and ishkur and maybe the vengeance but the others are extremely lack luster. The Enyo despite all its tank has no fucking cap and is SLOW as garbage

AFs being effectively not in the game is not a massive problem. all it means is you can't fly AFs, and to be honest, you probably want them to make some kind of cancerous tanky all-T2 frigate gang with logistics frigates and be gay as fuck, so no big loss

svipuls killing everything all the time is a massive problem, because it prevents people from using most small ships

>>143926135
what
>>
>>143926769
No, AF's need to be like heavy assault cruisers are to cruisers

they need to niche while not having stupid fucked up stats

They need to not be so fucking massive, they have this weird ass huge mass for no reason

they need to not have such fucking shit capacitor, the ishkur has less cap and half as much cap regen as a fucking tristan. Why? where does that make sense?

They need to not have such awful agility and speed, where does it make sense that it takes 5 seconds for a retribution to align to anything? thats before putting on a 400 plate.

>>143926771
AF's are 20-22m, same as T2 ewar frigs
>>
>>143927010
what? heavy assault cruisers are not niche at all though. they're just an all-around improvement faggotry version of T1
>>
>>143927109
No they aren't

the Sacrilege is a slow missile maller that can project missils up to 40km

the zealot is even slower than the regular

the omen as a long range beam platform

the vagabond is a fast and heavy shield tank that the fucking stabber or rupture wish it was

the muninn is a similar ship to a zealot as a long range artillery platform while not being fast either.

The Eagle is SUPER long range railguns fills the niche of a heavy railgun platofmr

the Cerb is a fast kiter that excels at super long range missiles.

Ishtar is a heavy drone specialist and the deimos is a hyper tanky brawler

>>143927437
ok so some of them are probably slightly slower, fine

they're still generalist combat ships though, and none of their T1 versions are better than them in any situation. having a load of range bonuses doesn't mean you're somehow worse when you aren't doing massive sniping. you can load antimatter in an eagle

do you have to enlist in fw to do fw missions? i would assume so but i dunno

>>
>>143925364
I think they're fine as high speed, low sig tough frigates. It's just right now they're not as great at avoiding larger fire as they should be and smaller ships are more popular than large for PvP anyway, meaning that they don't really get to take advantage of their bonus.

The biggest buff to AF would be larger ships being more viable in small gangs, or perhaps a reduction to drone damage taken.

Highsec should have current local. Concord carefully keeps track of every ship in space they control and puts the list of local pilots in an easily accessible place.
Lowsec should have delayed local, where someone sitting system having come in through a gate is put into local after 5 minutes until they leave. Those entering a lowsec system through a wormhole are not displayed on local until they use a gate and sit in a system for 5 minutes.
Nullsec should have upgradeable sov structures that create a delayed or highsec-like local, depending on how much you want to invest into the system.

This honestly should have been done a decade ago, but all of K-space is for carebears with local in it's current implementation and it needs to be adjusted
>>
>>143935270
that seems pretty cool at first glance, but i haven't thought through the implications yet. presumably wormhole would just have no ability to be upgraded from their current behavior?

ill just be honest for a moment. right now im just a high sec mission runner that doesnt know much about eve, so i dont really know how things need to be balanced out in unconcord. but i do love pvp, and ill go out there one of these days.

it allows me to give an unbiased view, but i dont know enough to say anything specific. speaking generally, i always thought the idea of local chats in a big game where location and knowlege matters a lot would be a bad idea in the first place. im surprised they actually didnt think about this from the beginning and work things around that.

Stop. You're falling into the biggest trap in EVE. New players think "I haven't got [STUFF] so I'll stay in Highsec until I get it".
Then when they have [STUFF] they think "Well I don't want to lose my [STUFF]" so they never leave High sec.

You want to get into Lowsec? Pick a system in a space you like, take a few T1 frigates and Cruisers there, and learn to live without all the high sec conveniences.
>>

the original here >>143936317 said a thing.

I, here, >>143936886 also agree with the orginal post, but I am rephrasing the other half of it to make the nullbears sound like shit eating cowards who are afraid of pvp. The point of my post is to highlight the purpose of the guy who hates wormholers.

to rephrase my post with less pronouns, the people who want local to stay in null are the carebears who want to be able to pos up when neuts enter system.
>>

>If I'm not in a combat shit
If you're not in a combat ship you should be fit so that you can get away.

>or in a ratting ship
Are you for fucking real?
>>
>>143938006
of course. no one said otherwise.

i think the purpose underlying the idea of more limited intel from local is to force people to be more prepared for hostile action. for instance, both hisec and lowsec incursions are run - but the fits are very different, because in losec the fleets know they have to be prepared to defend themselves. Your ratting fit would change if you were in an alliance without the infrastructure to put up instant local structures.
>>
>>143938068
you are correct, and that is why wormholers are so scornful of null players. "why do they cry so hard at the thought of removing local? we've been getting along fine with only dscan" they say.

it's not a complete equivalence, though, because in null the map topology never changes.
>>
>>143938130
Just like you are "entitled" to kill me. I'm entitled to hide.

>>143938192
warpstabs are shit and instalockers exist
>ratting ship
Wow people do pve in this game. What a surprise.

>>143938250
Lowsec incursion are a fleet op. entirely differrent from solo pve. And if I wanted to fit a ship for both it's often some hybrid that won't work for any situation.

Refitting in depot might work, but the attacker can scan your depot first and wait for you there or if you deply it in site you might not have enough time to refit before they arrive.
>>
>>143932771
minmatar all they do is weapon tracking disrupt

you won't be able to do L4s on a solo bonber anymore tho, they recently added some new frigs that insta web with very long range
>>
>>143938485
if you are not already aligned while you are jewing it up you deserve to die. Don't use local as a crutch to be safe.
>>
>>143938485
im sorry but, i was on your side in the beginning, and now im on their side. dscan exists.

however, maybe dscan should have the option to auto update. i feel like this is something that was probably discussed before and rejected. maybe make it a module or something?
>>
>>143938485
bruh
I'm not saying the new ratting fits you would probably use if there were no local in null would be the same isk/hr as before. That would be silly. But I do know that i'm perfectly willing to risk two 600m ratting ships in wormholes with no local.

Or you must be legitimately retarded.
>>
>>143938932
>Recons and cloaks exists. also a lot of systems are bigger than dscan range.
i know that. but a cloak ships purpose is to not be seen. if an unseen is known about, hes not very unseen. if cloak ships are too overpowered after local is removed, you would then nerf cloaking.

about dscan range, perhaps we can simply buff it, or make it a module that will buff it, or make it a module completely that will always have a very strong scan range, and even update automatically. theres tons of things we can do.
>>
>>143935270
>all of K-space is for carebears
>implying w-space isn't also filled with carebears
>>
>>143939029
people need to scan down explo sites, that's one more barrier inbetween you and the hunter. Also most ships have a 6 second locking reactivation after decloaking, which if you fit your explorer right, should be able to warp out as soon as he decloacks.

so really, it's on you for not playing attention.
>>
>>143939029
there are many things that you could probably have done to avoid that death which you probably didn't do because you are a new player and haven't learned them yet.

>were there force fields in that wormhole?
>if there were, did they belong to hunting corps or carebear corps? (hard to determine without a covops cloak, admittedly)
>did the wormhole have a hisec static?
>how far from a tradehub was the entrance to the chain?
>how far into the chain were you?
>were there any missing cans in the site?
etc

I'm not saying you're bad, just that there are things that can be learned and performed to help reduce risks besides relying on local (since you posted in a comment chain discussing local)
>>
>>143939454
It was an empty C3 with a C4 static according to Dotlan. Admittedly I never thought about how far from a hub it was, I found a hole to the C4 3 jumps out of Amarr then scanned down the C3 connection.

Was a decent learning experience anyway.

>>
>>143939918
you know that, the guy you're responding to knows that, i know that

what none of us know is how that supports your argument.

maybe your point is that some ratting ships, like the classical newbro null ratting oversized prop VNI, can't sit in place aligned and ready to warp out if there were no local and suddenly a stratios decloaks on grid with them.
>>
>>143937232
>wah we ONLY have dscan and local, local being 100% perfect intel of who is in the system, and in neighboring systems, with no delay, at all times

You're just a retard if you're going to afk mine somewhere in low/high, or do it solo. Intel channels exist and are pure cancer. This is less about dunking miners and more about your small gang being constantly monitored and eventually sat on by nullblob babies
>>
>>143938006
As someone else already said, there is no PVE server. If you are undocking, you are entering into PVP space, and should prepare accordingly. I rat and mine just fine in wormhole space because I can use dscan, and can get better intel than dscan if I put in effort or get more friends involved and in the space we want scouted.

all i know is that there is a ton of reasons to get rid of local, and the only real drawback, and emphasis on the word real, is that cloak ships might be too easy to get away with shit in after that. but putting local back just for that would be silly.

instead it would be time to just nerf cloaking, like i said was a possibility before. there are many ways to do this.

>>143971278
There isn't much wrong with hisec by itself. Its main problems (overpopulation, badly resolved PVP mechanics) don't prevent it from functioning, and the sheer amount of player interaction possible can make up for the low value of PVE and skewed PVP prospects.


I said this before on other topics, but I'll repeat it - the EVE universe would benefit for having slightly fewer systems, namely WH and null. There are too many 100% dead systems at any time.
>>
>>143972195
Universe is big. You can't have big traffic areas everywhere. And some people prefer low populated parts of space.
>>
>>143972709
>You can't have big traffic areas everywhere

You don't need to, and I didn't said it needed to be reduced 70%.

But hundreds of dead and not-worth-farming wormholes, and hundreds of dead NS systems that are not even on travel routes don't help the game. In fact, they create a buffer wall of nofun which stops players from getting to the stuff they want. Just a 10% cutdown of NS systems I reckon.

As for people preferring low populated areas of space, that's ok, and they should exist, but not in the present quantities. It makes the game feel deader than it is.

Joining a Nullsec alliance is the worst decision I took. I was inspired by /eog/ and also forums, people bragging how great null is, how fun it is, how amazing it is and such things. I decided to spend some time in high sec first til I got some 3 million SP to stabilize. After that I found a corp, which was a part of an alliance and we went to Amarr nullsec. And dear God...

It is so boring, first off it's sov space and that's cool but most of the PvP (when not in fleets) consists of warp bubble gate camping with alts. Aside from that the usual shit but more boring because it's empty as fuck. For weeks I mined, explored the system with 1 gank attempt on me.

Most people are also on TS but not even in game, because it's that boring.

Fuck nullsec.

There wouldn't be so many dead Null systems if High->Null Wormholes weren't so fucking rare. Increase the rate of high-null Wormhole connections and I guarantee people would start living in those dead areas.

I want to pvp, but: (a) I'm too autistic to interact with other people, (b) I'm too poor to risk losing ships, (c) I'm too shy to leave my comfort zone.
Maybe after I stockpiled enough plexes, and someone forcefully recruited me into their corp and brutally pushed me into a roam... one can dream.

>>143976970
I think you need to grind better (i.e. more money per time) in that case. What do you for money?

Two more things:

- if you opt for frigate PVP in lowsec (where you are not likely to get podded and incur additional losses), most of the time you can loot enough wrecks to pay back for your loss and a little bit over it (if you fly t1 frigs), especially coupled with insurance. Your net loss per like 5 frigates will be only a couple of million or less, depending on how much loot you extract and how expensive your fits are.

- Join a corp. Even if they don't have SRP, flying with competent people can make your losses hurt less and happen less often.

>>143977401
There is no subjectivity there. PVE, and especially hisec PVE, is dogshit and ill-designed. It's repetitive, encourages low interaction, and lacks any innate incentive to do it (people do it for other things, i.e. plex or money to pvp or whatever, which can be acquired by other means like the market or better PVE).

There are better games to play out there if you just want to PVE and you are simply wasting your time. To each their own, people can do what they like, but I will not idly pretend that they are not missing out.

M8, the content is you. And others. And I don't even mean hostile PVP necessarily. Interacting with players is generally better content than pure solo PVE, regardless what it's like.

>Regading missions

You are being D E L U S I O N A L or L Y I N G if you're going to state that L4s can't make you extra 10 mil per month for PVP.

You also need to consider how you're doing your missions if you're struggling with PLEX money with no ship losses. Start doing Team Anomic missions, and try getting into other burners as well if you have the SP required. They're way better than regular L4s and take a fraction of time.

Ofc I can make extra 10 mil for pvp or whatever.
But setting up for pvp takes more than I usually play every day.
So it'd take like two full days to get into pvp-ready and to return back to missioning.
That's a lot of time wasted on a tight schedule already, and if you add time actually spent pvping - it's just not worth.
And there are other issues involved, like SP lost due to jump clone implants, fishing for wardecs, making enemies etc, etc.
It's just not worth it. I'm already hated as is for being a carebear, the last thing I need is vengeful autists on top of that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure pvp is fun, I just don't play EVE enough to be able to grind up for PLEX *and* have time left to pvp every month.
So I do only one of those - the former.

Bam, done in 2 minutes, now you only need 5 minutes to get to nearest FW space, and 10-30 minutes to find at least one fight.

This is so wrong it hurts. FW, and EVE low/null/wh pvp at large, is helldunk or blueballs in its core. People don't want to engage into something they think they won't win, so you need to actually bait them or be lucky to stumble across some rare exceptions.

I remember back in 2009 when I started EVE, I wanted to be a bounty hunter more than anything else. Fly around, shoot player pirates, defend miners and all that jazz, collect bounties. Except the system was really broken back then, and while it's got better, it's still more something you get as a bonus from killing people rather than something you look for specifically.

I'd settle for some way to actually attack high sec PvP corps, but the problem is they don't have anything worth shooting and never seem to undock in anything but thrashers and other dirt cheap ships. No way to hit them like they hit tiny miner corps who have to expose themselves for hours on end in a ship that can't fight or transports going to and from trade hubs. If these corps required some sort of vulnerable thing like a PoS to declare war where you could end it by destroying it, it'd probably solve a lot of problems.

this is why I live the WH life. the content we get can be sparse, but when it happens it's usually very good. Lack of local allows both parties to think they have the advantage - neither side typically knows exactly how much backup the other might have at the time.

literally everyone in this game is, to some degree, risk averse. you just have to be. nobody wants to take a fight they are guaranteed to lose. In a game where you lose all your shit when you die, it's crazy to expect otherwise.

people who don't take fights they aren't guaranteed to win are the ones that stand out as more-of-a-faggot-than-average

Shit nigga, I ain't flying around for hours looking for a good fight. My experience doing low sec PvP was that I'd have two or three memorable fights a week, most of the time I'd undock, float around lowsec, and people would either run away, dock up, or get a bigger group. I'd wind up taking bait on purpose just to have something happen.

The only way I've had decent PvP was having someone in a bait ship in a wormhole and hoping someone would come along and shoot the drake we'd left out from too close and wind up scrammed and webbed. And even that's not so great since it's more akin to catching something with flypaper and putting it out of its misery than an interesting fight.

It's still sort of an improvement on the old "have to pod someone to collect" method. Assuming they didn't collect their own bounty with an alt, trying to catch someone in a pod without a bubble's pretty difficult solo.

Is it possible to live out of a neutral station in null without being in a corp? I want to sit around ORE territory and run sites and mine, but I don't want to show up there and find it de facto owned by a group that's hostile to everything in the area.

it is. I did it in Curse when I was doing Angel missions. Living in NPC null alone is a royal pain in the ass. the first few days is cool because it's a new environment for you, but the logistics is fucking cancer. I relied in finding wormholes either to high sec or lowsec, and those were rare.

Way back in the day we picked up these high sec guys and folded them into our small-gang pvp alliance. They were hilarious, but one turned out to be a legit sociopath who was banned for running an RMT scheme with some Russians (although I saw his character in game a couple weeks ago), and the other stole a jump freighter from our CEO after flying with us for 4 years. Those are the type of people who join high sec war dec corps. Absolute gutter trash.

>>143992245
There was one group that was baiting players into attacking by shooting their MTUs, I had them marked so I'd know when they'd show up in system. Got a guy running missions to fit his raven with webs, a scram, and neuts and then plop out his MTU. MTU shooting guy showed up, agressed the MTU, Raven tackled him, and I came in with a Vexor to finish the job. It was pretty great.

>Sit in a belt watching a small mining op that doesn't have an Orca.

Last one is sort of on the miners because they could just fly something tanked, but still. No way to go on the offensive against these corps.

You could always try joining the war deccers and awoxing or robbing/scamming them. Or camp them 24/7. The second one isn't very fun, but if they don't get kills they will leave. And I don't mean camp them for a few days, I mean weeks. If you don't have numbers hire some people. Mercenaries as a rule are garbage pilots, but meat is meat and the more red stars in local the less likely it is that they will undock.

I got into null fights but they were usually blobfests at 50-100% tike dilation. There were a handful of fun fights but all the bullshit with specific doctrines and space restrictions and roam restrictions made it totally not fucking worth it.

I'd always heard goons were like these anarchic crazy people with no rules who ate each other all the time but HOLY SHIT they were the most restrictive and anal people I've ever flown under.

Here is the deal, if you don't play solo, you are not playing the Real EVE. Eve as it was meant to be savored on your taste buds.

If you are in a nullblob corp or alliance you might as well be in high sec because you are a grade A shitter. Very few people know the true EVE, the True eve of playing solo. Just your ship and your pod between this cold inhospitable universe where everyone is against you and actively hunting.

So before you post shit, know that you are shit, kiddo. You are nothing without your blob of retards spergging out in mumble or TS3.

I am, the soloer, and this is my universe.

>>144000682

null is great assuming you go to the correct places

i made the mistake of joining goons early on and left after 3 days because of what i saw in game and reading on the out of game resources, the place is basically like north korea and i don't know how people can tolerate the abuse
>>
>>144000463
They were like that when they first showed up. Over time they basically turned into the people they ridiculed. There is a splinter goon alliance that's supposed to get back to the old ways, but idk anything about it, I've always shot goons.

There seem to be fewer big tidi fights now than there were, in part due to sov changes. Now it's lots of chasing people around and skirmishes (if you are a 0.0 sov holder).

The game has changed some, I am a long-time player who came back after a 3-4 year break. Be very careful about who you join. Appearances can be deceiving. I made a bad employment choice, but I am going to stick it out for a bit before leaving.

There's a complete glut of newbie ran generalized corporations out there. You won't find so many people willing to join just because when people are wanting to join up, they have thousands of other options too.

I'm not completely sure how things were before, I was always in small-gang corps like the one you were part of. Now you have to use this module called an Entosis something or other on capture points scattered around a system or constellation. The more ratting, mining, or other activity in the system, the longer it takes to capture via Entosis. Basically it supposedly makes it so you have to actually use and/or defend space if you want to keep it. Based on my experiences the skirmishes are hit and miss. A lot of the time you just chase people off and that's that. Sometimes you get a nice fight. People have apparently done entosising with carriers or big groups to bait fights, but oftentimes it's small or cheap ass ships. And whenever we took systems we would never be opposed, they'd just try to take them back later. That was probably due in part to the supposed Fabian strategy adopted by goons.

Knowing what I know now I would try to join a 0.0 small-gang corp again. I don't know how many are around these days though, seems like everyone is folded into big power blocs and the only small groups are doing FW in low sec, and by "doing FW" I mean everyone is running 5 clients with links and falcons and HG slaves and they still won't take a fight unless it's 3:1 odds.

Funny thing is risk aversion was not actually a problem before killboards became popular. I don't mean people would throw themselves at the enemy idiotically, but they wouldn't stay docked because a number on zkillboard would increment by -0.4% if they happened to die.

I agree with that completely, but also you can't really do hero shit anymore either. People still have success soloing, but gone are the days where 10 RR bs could take on 30 or 40 people and crush them. The proliferation of doctrines and the ease at which fittings are passed around contribute to this. It's kind of like raiding in a theme park mmo in the age of streaming and YouTube. Everyone knows the strats on day 1. No mystery in games anymore.

I remember there used to be people and places in Eve that were straight up terrifying back in like 2003-2006. All that magic is gone now, replaced with cynicism and entitlement.

All I have seen people do with faxes is drop caps on them, or hold out until some dumbass bumps himself off the group or whatever and can get alphad by whatever faggy comp you are running. I haven't tried using those capital neut bombs, I heard they are tough to aim. If you practiced enough I bet you could jump a shitload of them into a group of faxes with command dessies though. Might be worth a try. I had someone help me work out the math to do it with regular bombs, I can't recall if the capital void ones move faster or slower though.

Idk about wormholes, they would be a real problem in there I think.

Perfect example of I like this and I don't like this and screw the truth. EVE is not your standard MMO/video game. I'll respond just to part on mining...

First he left off how incredibly important mining is to the game as a whole as EVERYTHING player produced IN the game (and that's the vast majority of ALL the products available in the game) depend on mining. Without it, EVE would grind to a halt.

And as it is hugely important, it seems there are probably a few more than just "2" miners... and obviously all those miners are out there playing every single day... thousands of them. The gameplay is not just "target rock - press F1", there's drones and rats and salvage and watching for local spikes and working out of the client on those infamous spreadsheets and chatting on comms with the rest of the guys you are mining with and running haulers or a Orca... etc. etc. etc. ALL of which the reviewing asshat completely left out. He took a look at an immensely complex game and gameplay and left out a HUGE amount of the details... the details of which ARE the gameplay... not just target press F1. Id10t.

This is one seriously fecked up review that will act to push people away from one of the best and most immersive MMOs on the fecking market... Thanx, butthead.

There used to be a few, but they're mostly dead now. I was in a couple back in the day (2004-05, 2006-2009). I occasionally see someone I recognize, but they're all in normal sov holding alliances now. Eve has always had fantastic roleplaying potential, but it seems like the community has pretty much vanished over the past few years. I mean it was never a big group, but there was a healthy number of people interested in RP.

It's the same sort of thing that killed a lot of MMOs. Everything is incredibly documented, theorycrafted, and perfected down to the most miniscule amounts to ensure efficiency, and deviation from the norm is met with hostility. It's a problem that arises from inevitable good things of people trying to make the game easier on themselves by demystifying all aspects for the general public.

Items and actions having a preceived value is both EVE's greatest asset and biggest curse. It means everything you do is felt and "for real", but at the same time, failure has tangible consequences which makes a strong case of atychiphobia. Removing those barriers would make for a much more lively game for a short time until all the magic wears off, at which point EVE wouldn't have a lot to differ it from other MMOs.

There's not really a good solution for it all either, as consequences = fear of failure, and no consequences = your actions don't matter.
>>
>>144011457
Nah. I mean it's certainly an RP-friendly atmosphere, but it is a line corporation for MC. It's not a drug manufacturing corporation, a roleplay one, or a pirate one. 99% of your time in-game will be spent doing combat ops or ship spinning. And you will move home stations like every 2 weeks, sometimes across the map.

Lite for sure. I used to be in those channels, but I haven't bothered with them since coming back to the game. I used to RP as a faction that got turned into a laughingstock by someone, despite my own corporation being quite fearsome. I always found the backstage community to be a little cancerous as well. I mean there's some cool folks there, but as in any mmo there is like a cabal of people who run shit and if you deviate from approved modes of interaction (in-game or out of it) you get ostracized.

It's not that I've been told not to fly them. The ping will go out for doctrine X, and then I'll see some officer and his two buds show up in command dessies without the fc asking for them. Or they will ask for CDs and I'll X up but my name won't get called. I don't mind too much right now because I am still getting reacclimated to the game after being away for years. And they do trust me enough to ask me to fly dictors and falcons and shit, I think it's just because I am new. I am going to leave my corp in a few months anyway, I just want some more time with them for my employment history and to get to know people well enough for them to give me a good reference if need be.

Oh I'm not looking for it now. I'm not the guy who was asking about pirate RP corps. I'm the one who said they were all dead. I mean it's definitely a plus in my book and it's something I'll consider when I look for a new corp, just not a priority for me anymore. I was more interested in it back before I realized all the people doing the in-game events and news stories were the same people writing shitty fanfic on chatsubo or swirling their cape and sitting in the corner in whatever bar RP channel was fashionable at the time.

Although they don't seem to do much with events and news these days.

It was always really incestuous, lots of the old events were basically handouts to certain groups- not necessarily in the material sense, but whatever the outcome was would favor a particular narrative. Some of the old guard were pretty cool, Graelyn and Evanda Char come to mind. Verone (now CCP Falcon) was always a faggot though. Jade Constantine too.

Even if they were rigged the events were badass, and I loved all the fluff news pieces. My corp even got one of those, was probably written by someone in our alliance though.

There's all the chronicles, I'm not sure where they are anymore, but you can find them online. Archived news stories as well. Also region descriptions and other in-game sources like mission text or monuments. There is a TON of source material.

And everyone doesn't have to have a "real" name. Think about how absurd modern culture is, think about Internet slang, all that. Do you think everyone who wants to RP should type in complete sentences? Maybe Amarr should have to use "thee" and "thou." The game takes place in a post-information age environment. The "unrealistic" things you are talking about belong here. You can hand-wave just about anything and fit it into the game-world. It's not hard. Try using your imagination.

I did a little bit with 2 friends who played, but they were even greener than me. The one strictly did L1 missions and was terrified of lowsec. He stopped playing shortly.

I looked into RvB at the time, but it seemed like they had a shit ton of specifics and little nuances. I think I was with them for a bit, but it never seemed like they had anything happening.

Join a corporation. People shill the vg corp All-Out quite a bit here. I don't play with them, but assuming it's similar to vg groups in other games it's probably a decent place to start. You could try Pandemic Horde also. Or eve university. Don't stay in the uni for too long though, 2-3 months and bounce.

People aren't going to talk in the main FW channels for the NPC corps because they (correctly) assume there are spies there.

To get the most out of this game you probably need to step outside of your comfort zone, socially speaking. Don't worry though, that's the case for many, maybe most, Eve players. Gotta take the plunge and be proactive about meeting people and doing shit. It gets easier with time.

So as an exploration newb (heron with no cloak), should I be going into all these wormholes I'm finding? I went inside one and a player was flying towards me so I ran like a bitch.

Also, how do I use the d-scanner? The 360 degree mode is... simple enough, but I dont know what I'm looking for.
>>
>>144027376
look up a guide in youtube "how to use Eve Dscan"

get a cloak before going into wormholes

360 is enough to know if someone is close, directional is more for finding others
>>
>>144027081
I can tell you're in a 1 man alt corp because of how desperate for attention you are.

>>144027376
You are looking for ships and any type of probes. Both are usually a good sign to GTFO.

You should explore WHs because you can get hefty sums out of pirate sites in there, and losing a heron isn't too bad in the first place. It'll also teach you some scouting skills and sometimes you'll witness amazing things on d-scan.

>>
>>144027376
this is a very good new tutorial video by wormbro. they seem like a good option for newer players based on the kind of wormhole they live in (idk them personally, aside from a few skirmishes with them).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpmcTTZe8Rk

you want to go to class 1-3 wormholes, which are the ones that say "unknown space," not "deadly" or "dangerous." get good at using dscan, scout the system out, and scan everything in the wormhole before you do hacks. if you do all that and watch dscan, and the coast seems clear, you are probably good to hack.

In my early Eve exploraiton days, I hacked a lot of wormholes with improper scouting. I died a few times like a btich, but I still made a lot of money. if you do it in a t1 frigate with no cloak, you should make a set safespots as well.
>>
>>144027524
Fuck that. I went into a wormhole with a four day old account and a shitfit Drake, blapped some sleepers and made it out with 300m loot. You only need a cloak if you're planning on sticking around and scanning every sight, if you just hop on the train to the first anomaly, you can make some sick ISK and get out before anyone even notices.

>>
>flying wormhole shitfits

>>144032063

>>
>>144032063
When training for basic skills remember to spread them out to level 3 first.

Getting skills to level 3 is very fast and it gives you a lot of bang for the buck.
There is no need to have skills at 0 waiting for some other skills to finish a IV or V training.

Don't start training stuff on impulse just to leave it half finished tho.
Make sure you go for attainable stuff so you don't get bored but make sure that stuff is not a deadend either.
Example: Training a race frigate to V and then attack frigate to V, Vs. training another race frigate to V.

The second option will give you way more ships to fly requiring similar skills, costs and modules, it will also give you more ideas of how that race works and what they like in their fits.

First options unlocks 2 new expensive frigates, to unlock additonal frigates you will need to train more racial frigates.

I personally suggest new players get all frigs to level IV after getting their basics and drones to a respectable level (you don't need advanced weapons V right away, or shield/armor comps at V) then choose your favorite racial frig and get it to V so you can utilize them to their max.
Destroyer is not that important unless you plan to rush a T3D but I don't recommend.
Cruiser to IV is a good idea if you are gonna do missions but other than that there is no reason to leave frigates until after 3-4 months in my opinion.

If you are gonna train for exploring skills past L3 make sure you are serious about it, they require a lot more sp than what you would think and have no uses outside of practical k-space pvp.
That being said, exploring is in my opinion the best way to introduce a new player to the pvp game mechanics, nullsec and wormholes.
You will learn to use the d-scan, avoid camps, learn to warp and bounce properly, routes, map statistics, WHs, Thera, avoiding ganks, basic survival and more stuff that no other pve activity trains you for or you will die learning.

>>144036472
so you're admitting that the only value destroyers have is that they are called destroyers and not cruisers
>>
>>144035071
Its not like they are worthless or bad about T1 destroyers, its just that they don't teach a lot other than cost efficiency and frigate ganking.

Nothing bad to skill one or two race destroyers to IV but you are not getting much past that.
And ship wise you are getting very little ships.

T3Ds is a bad skip for a new player and require good skills to be cost effective.
Interdictors and Command destroyers require way too many skills and its too focused out of their way of normal skills.

Keep in mind all this info is for a brand new players and only my opinion.
>>
>>144014316

It's because when a dictor fucks up, it usually means a bubble is in a wrong place, and when a falcon fucks up, wrong target is jammed. Nothing too bad happens.

But when a CD fucks up? Fleet splits with other half tackled.

Before faxes, each carrier in grid could remote rep X amount, meaning that the tank of any given primary target could get to N*X. The more carriers, the higher their tank. Whoever had the most carriers would obliterate their enemy with zero losses. Fights were decided without occurring when FCs were able to determine how many ships their opponent was likely to field.

After faxes, this has changed. Carriers can't rep for shit, but are horrifyingly effective at offense. You need to use them for your fleet to have teeth, but you need to also use fax or all your glass cannons will die. Fax use triage for their reps, and entering triage make you unable to receive remote reps. This means that the tank of any non fax is (number of fax * repping power of a fax) but the tank of every fax is only (local reps of one fax). So now, as long as your fleet has the ability to pop a fax during a triage cycle, you will be able to chip at their logi no matter how many they have. They cannot avoid some losses, and every fax loss weakens the tank of their non-fax ships.

The new system seems remarkably less cancerous.

its infinitely better now and people are learning how to deal with carriers more effectively but they could probably still use a bit of a nerf

>>144040241
problem is you want T2 mods on everything now.
new players can't get away with meta 4 anymore and still somehow keep up
a new player also has no use for anything bigger than a cruiser because of costs, unless he is specializing into incursions
>>
>>144047482
>you want
no, its just what they want in order to take you on incursions. it just means that you cant jump into incursions and youll either have to buy a plex or farm the old fashion way. regular missions, data sites, etc. or you could try to find a corp that would buy all this shit for you just to get another pilot.

>>144053119
I can't afford any of that but I'm skilling towards a T3D. I'm mostly doing Sansha and Blood Raider sites because I was told they were the best, and also that the Confessor is the best T3D for combat sites.

I don't want to move up to Cruisers just yet. I'd rather get a access to a decent ship, then round out my skills first.

Why did they get rid of the old camera??

It was perfect and now we're stuck with these shitty new camera modes.

Please tell me there's a way to go back.
>>
>>144055687

there's some high sec group that specifically goes after code but i can't think of the name, i'm sure someone else here knows it
>>
>>144055638
what exactly is "max dps"?
>>
>>144055717
its the same shit aside from the scroll which takes minutes to get used to.

just untick every camera option and set the speed to 80%
>>
>>144055687
they probably have low enough sec status to be attacked in highsec already or they already have a number of kill rights that can be bought.

and code aren't going to go around flying anything other the thrashers, cats, tornadoes or a talos.
>>
>>144056113

Don't they also use vexors and other high damage cruisers?
>>
>>144056096
No that guy, but It really triggers my tism that the camera anchors at the very front of my ship rather than the center.
>>
>>144056236
yeah sometimes they use vexors and brutixes.

You are correct, their security status is to low for me to both with kill rights sadly. Good fun seeing their wrecks from Caldari police and Concord though.

can i use 2 sebo's with different scripts to full effect?

yes

it'd be achieved by having two sebos with no scripts

You can use any scripted modules like that. Don't forget sebo's can now fit eccm script also.
>>
>>144058307
no, they would dr each other. its better to use scripts
>>

No, you mongoloid. Without scripts, second mod gets stacking penalized.

does anything even do explosive damage in the game besides missiles?
>>
>>144064306
oh and drones is something else i can think of. what else?
>>
>>144064306

some hybrid and projectile charges do
>>
>>144064559
oh okay. i was going to say, it seems underused.
do those charges get used in pvp often? what ammo do artys use?
>>
>>144064645
in pvp you will choose ammo based on what you're fighting. usually emp for shield tanked hulls and fusion for armor. (to exploit low resistances)
>>
>>144064645

they are dictated by range usually, tech 2 charges have varied stats as well

arty is projectile
>>
>>144064737
but do people actually roll around with no resist modules? you might be using bad ammo if they happen to max that res and you wouldnt know?
>>
>>144065013
anyone not dumb is going to fill resist holes but even after fitting it is often still the weakest resist.
>>
>>144063878
>>144064101

Basically extra risk vendor trash that you have to haul to a station to convert to isk. These kinds of items are 13 in a dozen in MMO's.
>>
>>144064737

Actually, with armor you're better off using phased plasma because of how many people fit exp hardeners.

>>
>>144070784
An oracle from 100km.
One shot tachyons.
>>
>>144070784

Also smartbombs and warriors, pretty much. You need to apply triple bonused faction painters and double webs otherwise.
>>
>>144070912
what kind of weapon accuracy score is going to hit that?
>>
>>144070784
If you're talking about the hyena, it wont matter because it'll probably come with 2 shield extenders, and two shield rigs. sending the sig through the roof.
>>
>>144072178
i was actually looking at the scalpel
but lets just assume it is trying to be as fast as possible with the lowest sig as possible. how hard would such a ship be to hit?
>>
you'll be a very unattractive target to alpha hurricane fleets, unless a huginn comes and paints you up. your worst threat would be scourge missile meta.

Double range scripted trackign comps.

Can confirm. Before I did incursions, I ran a ton of 3/10's and 4/10's and had so many bad drops that I seriously couldn't understand why people actually ran them.

DEDs are very worthwhile 5/10 and up - those ones have much better drop rates. $/10 is meh. Some of the lower ones are nice because you can run them so fast. The blood 4/10 can be done in like 7-8 minutes with a confessor.

I have an oracle fit that kills ceptors from over 100km. It's more about skills and placing the guns somewhere they can fire from than it is stats and autism.
