EVE General Discussion

We know that Eve is more simple the second, third or more times through it. Mistakes arent made that were made initially and the scaling of skilling, isk, etc are much more efficient as one goes on.

But....


What if we, as humans in the real world, could reenter the matrix of the Eve world anew each time? What if we could, after character creation and placement with all the starting skills, wipe our minds but only of Eve?

This would mean you could place yourself into the best or worst positions in Eve again and again but with the added twist that it WOULD be completely new for you.

What paths would you take if you could do this? Would you do the same path and truly min/max it and then afterwards tabulate the variances? Would you try different things? Would you purposefully make yourself the worst off you could to give yourself a challenge (this would have worked much better with the old attributes from bloodlines)? Would you simply play "god" and make yourself uber leet in every facet? Would you supply yourself with personal "cheats" so that you could benefit? Or even personal failsafes?


Heh enjoy the thought idea of my day in relation to this lovely game.

Mining doesnt completely suck. Only the part about the mining really. Everything else is pretty much somewhat partially tolerable when drunk or mid self-lobotomy with a slightly sharpened plastic spork.

I started with mining, and would probably wouldnt go much further than a Venture or barge with t1 strips as a new player.

I would much rather focus on combat skills, doing security missions and then moving to null-sec/a wormhole to rat. The isk is easier to come by as a new player - simply join a corp that does that kind of stuff. Besides, if you CHOOSE to keep mining, the ores are better in those types of systems.

Exploration is another thing that a new player can invest a bit of skillpoints, and get a TON of reward for. Much more inconsistent than ratting and missions though.

Plus when you do decide to do PVP, you'll have some combat-related and support skills up and ready.

I've done a lot of things in EvE. It has high replayability. Am in agreement that mining sucks and have no desire to try it. Still... plenty of other things to do. Fly casual and there's a ton to do. Get too serious and it narrows your options but there's still plenty to do.

Far as I am concerned, mining is basically fishing. Something to do to unwind, not exactly something I want to do full time every day all day.

Bring friends. And alcohol. Lots of alcohol.

seven years in, four of them active, and I still haven't played all of this game lol.

I've trained the exhumer on an alt exclusively to get access to the Battle Skiff. It's awesome.

Okay, if I had to do this I would tattoo reminders on myself a la Memento

DON'T LIKE MARAUDERS THEY DON'T ACTUALLY SPEND TIME DEEP IN ENEMY TERRITORY

None of it turned out to be fun, it was all imagination and false hope

When I made Gadget it was in preparation for the about-to-be-released Industry makeover a few years back. However what makes her different from other toons that I've made is a restriction that I voluntarily placed on her:

Gadget can only use what she creates herself, obtains with LP, or finds while ratting.

So far I've only broken that restriction twice. Once was to give her an MTU three days after she was created, and the second was to give her an old Procurer after an alt upgraded to a Skiff.

Now, Gadget can pretty much make more things than she can fly, and because of her restrictions, she became a bit of a module pack-rat. The restriction is still there, though has less meaning other than it made replaying the game interesting.
