In this thread, we give each other bad advice.

New to Eve? Take notes, this won't come in handy! Seasoned vet? Pay attention, you just might not learn something!

I'll start:

Prior to warp, fire those afterburners. You'll go faster!

I'll try;

Don't do incursions in Hisec because they are waaaay to risky and don't earn all that much isk either.
Also, when doing PVP, don't engage people who 'live' in nullsec, they are elite PVP'ers and will kill you by just thinking about it.

Drifter battleships become friendly when you point them.

The best way to make sure you don't get ganked at Jita undock is fit an ECM burst and hit it as soon as you align.

Only listen to the people in npc Corp chat.

Don't talk to anyone, least of all the guys that just asploded you.

stay in your comfort zone (the magic is a lie)

Don't worry about your reputation, it doesn't matter.

Higsec is safe.

You're going to insta pop if go to lowsec.

Straight from the State War Academy corp chat:

in pvp never use implants
best way to make money is mining
no one is going to gank it in high sec..
never use t2 or faction laser ammo
best thing for a new player to do is train strait into a tengu and sell plex to buy one
in hi sec you cannot pod anyone

Listen to the experts in General Discussion. They "know".

There just isn't anything that can be said!

If you hide in the rocks while mining, no one will ever hurt you.

Class 5 and 6 worm holes are really easy to solo. Just fit something shiny like a Stratios with two repairs and it can tank them easily. If you take other people more rats appear, you all get less ISK total and then you have to share that with others.

Three battleships is all you need to kill a freighter, shoot the first one you see undocking from Jita, they only come and go full of goods because the risk of losing a ship is too high to risk on an empty profitless run.

Always warp disrupt some of your fleet mates and pull back some range during the heat of battle to make sure you can get away and live.

Always use fitting rigs to get the biggest guns and prop mods you can onto a ship. Just think of a cruiser with large guns as being like a destroyer with harder to hit ship and more damage.

For maximum damage fly your bomber right into middle of the enemy fleet before firing it off.

The best tank is always double or triple propulsion mods + shields + armour + hull, just look at that Damage Control, it shows you that it is a good idea.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Always fit smartbombs.

If your thread gets locked ...
... just make a new one!

It most likely happened by accident.

ISDs are people too!
