Homesteading (TM) Program

We both know that they will fear AND admire you much more if you snatch it from someone who loves it rather than create it on your own. OPEN ONLY TO PLAYERS AT THE ALLIANCE DIRECTOR AND/OR CEO OF A 50+ MEMBER CORP LEVEL. (This is a Praxis Pick Best Bargain! Remember that there is a BUILT IN SAVINGS of $1,000,000,000.00 ISK in this package.)
It really is just a three step process. Mostly it requires just patience and attention to detail. Leave the hard work to others!
2. Move all the actual work of the organization into your and your follower's hands step by step so that the alliance will actually be yours long before you make it official.
3. Preparing the members beforehand, especially the personal friends of the Alliance Leader, to be able to accept the new regime when it comes.
Your alliance will also be designated as immune from Smiling Friends for as long as you choose to remain there, even after you finally make it official. This alone is worth tens of billions of ISK.

I heard a new player say to another, "...so what if shuttles are basically useless?"

Useless? Well. It depends. How much do you value your time. I mean RL time as well as game time.

The shuttle, along with the fuel we would need to keep our ships moving, is one of the very few things that CCP has handed to us as freebies. In the universe of EVE, where moving every nut, bolt, and molecule of oxygen has its costs, the shuttle is not something to overlook.

First, the things often cost 20-100,000 ISK. Often in hi sec at prices for less than the seller would have got for the ore itself. Of course shuttles are usually used in hi sec but do see use in null as well.

Second, if you have your Navigation to 5, you can get 700+ M/sec. With speed like that, its one of the few ships that can make a long trip using autopilot in less time than back to back episodes of your favorite sitcom. (Leaving aside, for the moment, the question of who has time for TV when you play EVE.)

Third, as far as targets go, they really aren't that impresssive on a killmail.

What I do is make sure I've got shuttles at any base of operations I'm staying at, and use them to go between. Yes, you have to have the money to have duplicate ships to make this work. But it does work.

And here's hoping you are having a wonderful day in New Eden and are not being evacuated or crushed or being called bad names.

While not having the same reaction on my nerves as the old X-Wing & Tie Fighter games I find that the days I get immersed into EVE as my character are the truly good EVE days as opposed to the days when it's just a game I'm playing.

Generally
PvE leads to me feeling I'm playing a game
FW roams and PvP easily leads to feeling part of the the EVE universe

Happy holiday season! Hm. Not sure what the New Eden holidays are but I want to be ecumenical in my greetings!

Speaking as the person who never uses them and has multiple copies of the same ship but they all end up in the same station over time, it's good advice. For the more "industrious" a cheap Industrial x 500 is the alternative. Iteron 1, Badger, Bestower or Hoarder.

The content of this thread is being posted multiple times over numerous other posts. I am locking this thread and all others because they are essentially being spammed everywhere and spamming the same thing, no matter what, is a violation of the forum rules.
