EVE General Discussion

You presented a nice face that people would like and then came to a public place seeking approval for that LCD definition. In Eve it is far more important to be able to set your own values, both on others and for yourself.

The space part of the game is okay, but the real fun is here in the forum.

This is where you'll spend most of your time while mining, waiting for the fleet to form up, gate camping, waiting out a COSMOS spawn, etc.

It can be a dangerous place here with real consequences for what you say. Best to dedicate an alt for it as a mistake here often gets you blown up in game.

A few general rules:
1) Never assume any post is serious.
2) Never start a thread unless you like abuse.
3) A quality troll is often rewarded but a bad one gets the locator agents working.
4) Never argue with Tippia unless you have a full day to waste.
5) Likes mean nothing. You need to learn who's a **** or not through exposure and experience.

Welcome!

Re the "Never trust anyone", while that is very true, Eve players are also generally very helpful and patient (Always some exceptions though).

We like having new blood, and most of the things people get stuck with are things which are fairly simple for us old grumpy people to explain. Also, it makes us all nostalgic for when we were naive and starry eyed.

Generally, as long as you are not "OMG Can haz isk pl0x" or "Tell me exactly how to do X", then we are quite helpful!

As others have said, Player corps are a good way to get involved in the game, and finding what you like doing is important. Many people get put off by the lack of obvious guidance in what to do next, and that is the beauty of eve.....do whatever you want.

Want to throw cheap ships crazily at people in high sec? Go for it
Want to fill a station hangar in each station with Veldspar? If thats what you have fun doing, why not!
Want to get max standing with all corps in a faction? You are crazy, but why not!
Want to sit in a station chatting all day while your wallet flashes? Do it!
Want to run around causing havoc in wormholes? Thats fine too

And any number of things you can think of. One awesome thing about Eve Players is their ingenuity, even the terrible ideas which crash and burn in days are out of the box.

So did you assume that this post is serious, or are you rewarding the quality troll?

I said once before that EVE is a game where you will find the most loyal of friends and the most dispicable of lowlifes. There are people, iv met a guy who Im confident I could trust a contract of 10 plex with no colatoral and others that I wouldnt give a rookie ship to.

As far as skills go, my advice is to get the skills that are named after the catagory, (IE the electronics skill under the electronics catagory) all to 5. Not only do they only take a few days each to max out but they cover a wide area of play and they unlock quite a few advance skills.

I've given you some moneys.

While it may seem like a lot, It goes quick. It's yours of course, but if you listen to some advice:

Don't go spend it on 1 ship and die hilariously in it :P.

Unless that sounds fun to you, :D.

Everyone will say that you can't trust anyone.
You can, however, trust me.

When you undock, and some times even in station, you are already PvP'ing. Just because you don't seek it out, doesn't mean it won't seek you out. Remember that you always be PvP'ing and you'll be much happier in New Eden.

I'll keep that in mind, but I was thinking more about seeking out lowsec and losing my best ship because I'm a noob kind of situations

My spider sense is tingling, are you telling the truth?
