EVE New Citizens Q&A

:( I've just lost every I own and I'm running low on ISK.

Whilst trying to complete a mission I kept losing my Rifters. So I invested in mining equipment to raise ISK and I've lost all that as well :(

Lots of people out there enjoying killing and I just can't get ahead

You could always sell that suit you're wearing, it's worth 190m in Amarr at the moment.

'd recommend focusing on Missioning/combat side of making isk, that way you can use those same skills later for PVP

For now, run lvl1 missions until you can afford a cruiser. The lvl2s pay a bit better
If you find the missions hard, its probably because of how you're fitting your ship.

Join a big nullsec alliance and they'll provide you with help and ships. Newbies can make tons of isk ratting in null

I need to be where I am to mine the asteroids I need :(

I almost had what i needed just now and then someone jumped in, snared my ship and blew me up. This is just getting irritating now. I can't finish my mission.

Just give me a chance !!!!!!!!!

I'm after Jaspet but cant find it out of lowsec

Jaspet sites pop up as anomalies in hisec regularly. Get a fast frigate or shuttle and zoom around until you find one, then go pick up your boat. If you're mining in a venture it's even easier. Just travel, mine and dump.

This does not even make sense to me.

There is never any need for you to do anything in this game. You do not "need" to go into low sec ever for anything. You may CHOOSE to go there but there is no need.

Low sec is where you go for PvP if you don't want to PvP don't go to low sec. You are making this game way more difficult than it needs to be.

According to the cerestes ore chart :
http://ore.cerlestes.de/#site:ore

currently Jaspet is going for about 24% more than Veld. With the amount of ship looses the OP is talking about he could mine veld and sell it and use the isk to buy jaspet and be better off isk wise than either loosing lots of ships trying to mine in low or spending large amounts of time roaming around high sec looking for scannable Jaspet site. Also he could probably mine null sec ores which are worth even more in either NRDS null or even wormhole space more safely than low sec and if he really wanted to do it on a regular basis he could join some sov null corp and wind up deep in blue null sec space mining null sec ores more safely than in high sec.


The OP has been in the NC Q&A non-stop since he started which tells me that he refuses to get involved in game with other players like finding friends or joining a corp or something. Not that I have an issue with new players asking question here that is what it's for. But when you come in here and ask questions and are told repeatedly that this is a group game and you need to make friends, don't go out and solo the game and then come back here and tell us it's too hard.

Eve is not the other MMOs out there where you can solo pretty much everything. I played other MMOs and leveled all of the tradeskills to max level and got the cool rare recipes etc... In Eve I tried building my own Jump Freighter and spent over a year trying to build the thing myself from scratch from materials that I gathered my self because that's what I did in other MMOs. In the end after spending nearly a year and a half I wound up having to buy most of the moon mats or partially reacted mats off of the market to finish the ship off.

Eve is not a solo game. Eve is not a game where you can do everything yourself. In Eve you have to pick something and get good at it and then buy other stuff with the isk that you make doing what you are good at.

Yes you can branch out you don't have to stick to one thing that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying get decent at one thing and then move onto the next thing. But if you are going to come to this game as a brand new player and try to do everything yourself then this game is going to be like smacking your face against a brick wall for fun.

Don't get me wrong I've smacked my face against a brick wall for fun before, I'm not criticizing the OP for that. I'm criticizing the OP for doing it and then complaining to us that his face hurts.

You know you have 36,000 people logging into the server daily, all competing to sell stuff cheaply, including Jaspet. Nothing differentiates their Jaspet from other Jaspet, and only the cheapest will sell. So, guess what the best strategy is?

Pick an activity that's somewhat safe and makes you money, and use that money to buy what you need. Including Jaspet. It's not 'taking a shortcut' or 'cheating', it's 'being smart.'

This game is NOT a solo game. You cannot do everything yourself, and this is on purpose. It's an MMO. Use the market.

use market or use a venture with a wcs fitted. if someone scrams u just warp off.

and dont listen to anyone who tells u to go mining in ama.

edit wcs = warp core stabilizer

basically it makes u harder to scram

the venture has one wcs built in so if u put another on there u cant be scrammed (by one ship with one tech2 scram or lower)

the gnosis that killed you would have landed long before he could lock u. u may need to unfrak ur overview...
