EVE General Discussion

Hello, i bought EVE last Friday when it was on sale, now that i have played through the weekend i have to say that i absolutely love it! I've tried to get into EVE many times in the past years but i was never able to get beyond first hours because of the almost nonexistent tutorial that didn't really explain anything, but now i was able to get in and found a really great and friendly corporation to go with it!

I have couple of questions.

1. Is there any hazards other than players and hostile npcs

2 .Is there cockpit view or interior view planned? I would love to walk around my ship or at least a small portion of it

3. I'm curious about building planetary infrastructure, how does that work exactly? Is it "fun"

I know i would find answers for my questions if i'd search for them enough, but i will rather ask these from the community

Also is there a place where i can see what is planned for the future updates and expansions?

Be prepared to put on a lot of weight and start wearing glasses and also never see another vagina again in your entire life


Then you should fit right in


enjoy the game

I will definitely watch that tutorial when i log back in, and great to know that there is some sort of interior view coming.

I have another question, this is more about the lore but do we pilot the ship alone with an A.I or do we have a crew on our ships?

EDIT: Malaire, i didn't know that, well an interior view is good enough for me.

There is crew according to lore, but that is not shown ingame in anyway.

Ooooh, RVB or one of the bigger Amarr/Minnie militia corps. The Gallente and Caldari have too much ~drama~.

Smaler corps are far less active. For example, TEST alliance had multiple 'ops'/roams/activities every day. Smaller corps might only do one every other day... or less.

Of course, there are some small corps that are super active, but they are rare, and usually full of experienced players. The large alliances will be prepared to deal with new players, training, etc. Small ones usually ether expect you to already know, or THEY don't know ether.

If after a while you choose to join a smaller corp, thats fine. But for your first corp/alliance ever, i highly recommend the large organizations so you can just hop in and start killing

Yes. You. You are the biggest danger in the game. Your own bad decisions cost you more than any other player or NPC ever can. You are the one who decides to take an officer fit Golem into nullsec without support. You are the one who decides to give all of your assets to the Goon 'recruitment officer' who says he's running a totally legit free jumpfreighter service. You are the one who clicks on contracts posted in Jita local. You are the one who sells your faction battleship for 295k. You are the one who signs up to Blink and wastes billions on lotteries that are rigged for new players to win so that they get sucked in just like you did.

Your own inhibitions are also, in my opinion, one the biggest threats you will face. "Just one more mission, then I'll be ready to play the game that I saw in the trailers". "Oh, maybe I'll wait until I can fly a better ship before trying the part of the game that I actually want to play"... Before you know it you've wasted years shooting red crosses, and despite all your skills you still know nothing about the game.

Good luck newbro. Never forget, it's just a game.

Small corps are really hit-or-miss with more misses then hits. I recommend going to large corps first so you can hop into ops much quicker and consistently. RvB for example has frequent planned fights. Eve University will take rifter noobs directly into 0.0 and give them a real crash course with 50 other players. Its a lot of fun.

If you're a 'weekend warrior' type who is only on for an hour a day, chances are you wont be online for your small corp's ops.

And again, you can find really good small corps out there as well, but its much harder to find the quality ones.

Playing alone in a multiplayer game is booooring.

And of course, if you are into the most cherished collecting profession, I insist you get on it right away!

Welcome to EVE!

Really good advice in this thread.

I'm a CEO of a small, new corp and I agree with Terminal Insanity. While we are active and do stuff together every day, we obviously can't offer the same kind of structured new player experience and education the larger, established organisations have been maintaining for years.

Still, if you don't need your hand held and willing to try things, small corps have advantages too. Problem is that it's very hard to tell what a small corp is like for real until you fly with them for a while (or don't fly, as it often can be.)
