As Jim said null is hard mostly since people just want to shoot you since you would be neutral.

Low sec is a bit easier as usually there are pockets and stations where no one lives. But again the down side is that resources for that area will be minimal or at outrageous prices. So if your goal is to live in low sec I would recommend having a good amount of supplies ready or have some way to produce them yourself.

Playing with a group(corporation or alliance) is sometimes easier as you have people to back you up or more experienced pilots with alts that can bring in supplies for you. That plus its a few less people you have to worry about...........typically......sometimes.......just be careful in low/null sec.

If you do live in low sec and engage in PVP Combat you end up getting security status hits and if it drops too low then you aren't able to enter hi-sec anymore with out the police attempting to kill you or if it's below -5.0 players will attempt as well.


But in lowsec, if someone open fire on me, do I have the "right" to return fire without losing security stats?
if my pod die, will I be revived at closest station or the one where my last clone was made (or the starterclone in this scenario)
As it is now, I dont lose anything when I die, my skills are lower then the 900k my clone is holding. and I got no implants. :)
isnt it better to let them burn my pod as well if I am to far away?

And.. since the prices are worse, wouldnt it mean some people buy it higher also, then in normal areas?


You don't gain sec-status from killing people with negative sec status. You gain is from shooting NPC pirates (Guristas, Angels, Blood Raiders) and you loose it by shooting people in high-sec / low-sec (the better the status of the system and the higher the sec status of the guy you shoot -> the bigger the sec status hit).

However, if anybody shoots you first: You can ALWAYS defend yourself, even in high-sec. Some people actually try to get this done (ninja looting or can flipping).

If you get podded, you will wake up in the station you have set your medical clone in (in your case likely the starting system). You can move your pod to other stations using the medical service of a station, but ALWAYS move it to a station that has the medical service. This is cause everytime you get podded you need to update your clone again.

Each area of low sec is differant, some are safe and you can gow hours without seeing anyone, some you have gangs, lone pirites flying thru all the time. *shrug* Low sec, unless they are in your alliance, they are not your freind. Get that into your thoughts, there are people who will fleet up with you, act like your freind, and when you attention is gone for just a second, blow you up.


I know you are thinking, holy crap is this guy paranoid, but paranoia saves your ship and implants.


Oh well, why wont they just attack me right away then? and I cant just shoot people or ignore them right away...
:| cant they just shoot me once and let me burn them?

If I dont have anything of value to lose, I dont see the loss in fleeting with someone, I might learn something (besides backstab that probably will occur) or see something nice, who knows.. I might manage to get a good timing on him instead?


Sorry I left out a point, when you are in a fleet, you can shoot your fleet mates and Concord will ignore it. So no lost ship, no sec hit. As to why they will not just attack, some people like to mess with other peoples heads. Some people do not want the sec hit. And other reasons, the point is trust yourself, and your guns. You do not need to have value to get popped trust that. Flying in an empty shuttle can get you popped if someone decides you need to get popped.

Also, anytime you are fired upon where concord patrols, you may return fire with out any sec hit to you.

A few rules to live by imho. When you undock any ship, consider it lost until it is redocked. Never talk in local channels, trust no one, and in case you missed it trust no one. EVE is not your average MMO, there are rules, but not rules like other games, it is very harsh game with a somewhat steep learning curve. But once you figure out your niche, I think it is one of the best games out today.


Not true. When in fleet, shooting ANYBODY outside your player corp will get CONCORD on site pretty quickly. I found that out the hard way with a friend of mine that I helped getting his feet wet in EVE by accidentally webbing him instead of repping him in a mission.

wat.


I thought that when you fleet up it says killing fleet members is not a concord sanctioned action?

If you talk in local people will try to find you
and kill you.
local is just used to know who is about to kill you.


I talk pretty often in local, specially in low-sec.

There is 1 major difference in the response:

1. Have a nice decent conversation. Yes they still want to kill you but you can make ''friends'' and exchange experience or ask for help.

2. Smacktalk / whine / complain. They want to kill you over and over and will be happy to hunt you down forever etc.

been using EFT a bit now, and I just realised.
cant use 4 miner II on my exeq, I think its the cpu that goes boom 320/250 :(
Should I go drones for the other part, or aim for those cpu increasing chips? but that would lower my cargo.. hmmm..


Can I even go over cpu usage?


You can use the co-processors of course, they will help you fit the miner 2's. There are some skills you will want to 5 asap imho, electronics as Jim pointed it is one, Engineering being the 2nd, and several others but you do not have to hurry those, but those 2 I would get to 5 ASAP.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

Guess I continue along this topic then, hopefully anyone can answer and help with this.

Having 1 mining exeq is rather easy to figure out a good way to make it effective.

But as for hacking/salvaging, I am not as sure.
I could switch out the weapons, but since I got those in tutorial mission, I will run with them for now.

http://i49.tinypic.com/140vjgk.png

medium slots, not really sure what to put.
Since I can use small shield extender right away and they are rather cheap, its probably way better then nothing.

Medium repair over small right?
Can I run 2 repairs instead of the overdrive?
Id guess hobgoblins is better then warriors, not sure, but they are my faction drones, and the name sounds cooler. ;D

I am ready to invest in rigs if the setup works good and I enjoy doing it, seems like rigs have way more options, boosting weapons or drones in any way. or salvage/hacking for that matter.

EDIT:------
Gave it a shot, if you remove the hacking item.
Managed to find a serpentis station with 2 turrets launching missiles and **** at me. I wouldn dare to engange close so the drone shad to do the job, lost one, got a few of their tiny ships down,but the turrets still wrecked 15-20% of my armor in their hits, always running out of capasitor from using medium repair I had to retreat a few times, realizing with 2 drones and nothing else to combat them I cant really do that now.
Guess I should focus on more capasitor energy, and drones as offensive things. might add some missle or anything to hit on 20km+ range?

Last combat I forgot to retrive my drone in time. RIP oh brave hobgob.
Now I am training for atleast 3 drones, and shall carry more then 3 with me. incase one blows.
Can I repair my drones somehow, or is it better to just toss out a new one?

Feels like I could ditch salvage and go for hacking primary, if I were to earn isk in any way besides mining, I dont need to make a fortune, but atleast more then 4k per ship destroyed/salvaged.. :D

So much to do, if I only could train 2 things at a time instead of 1 ! : (

One way trip! Why dont you drive?
