EVE New Citizens Q&A

There are too many changes to count. Here are the highlights though...

Ships and weapons
- Projectile weapon buff: Ammo only has three ranges now, the middle range ammo gives a slight tracking boost, and you can more or less select damage type.
- T3s: Each race has access to a modular cruiser that can incorporate various (slightly nerfed) T2 bonuses all in one ship.
- Navy and Faction ships: they all got an overhaul making [most of] them actually viable in PvP rather than just "station ornaments." Current FOTY (fit of the year) are the Angel Cartel ships (Dramiel, Cynabal, Macheriel).
- Noctis: The dream of a dedicated salvaging platform has been realized.
- Titans: AoE Doomsday was changed to a "One-shot-one-kill" weapon and their conventional weapons were buffed.
- Supercarriers: given the ability to use Fighter Bombers and stats changed to make them from a "souped up carrier" to a "WTFBQQ" capital/subcapital-killer with Ewar immunity.
- Hybrid weapons: Railguns still suck and blasters are outclassed by pulse lasers at medium range and autocannons at short range.
- Drones: They still have problems.

Things to do
- Wormholes: probable anomalies that you can enter, taking you to "Wormhole space." WH space has no local chat, no stations, no stargates, has effects that nerf/buff your ship and modules, and is home to NPC rats on steroids that deal significant omni-damage, have omni-resists, move like interceptors, and energy neutralize. Salvaging the NPCs will yield materials needed for T3 production.
- Incursions: Random constallation-wide events that slightly nerf your ship and change all the NPC rats into souped up Sansha NPCs that deal omni-damage, have omni-resists, employ Ewar, and generally act like slightly "dumbed down" players. You can enter a plex with a bunch of people and try to kill everything to earn LP from the CONCORD LP store.
0.0 Sov: Too much to write. All that can be said is that it's a clusterfuck.

pretty much this

I started late 2008 and I don't think I can even remember all the changes since i started

here are a few big ones:

-skill queue
-usable in-game browser
-the creations of EVEGate, lets us view and send email out of game as well as has a calendar that is synched up with one in game for corps and alliances to utilize
-totally redone contracts system
-all the guns got redone
-Scorpion redone
-Maller redone
-Walking in stations is finally here (but it still pretty much in beta stages, its just the captains quarters atm and only Minmatar but other 3 races' are coming VERY soon)
-Nex Store and AURUM, essentially a cash shop, and is currently just vanity items for your avatar, soon to be added is ship skins
-0.0 sov is no longer POS based
-Planetary Interaction stuff
-In-game agent finder

Hello Aknotsdeath,

Welcome back. One thing that doesn't seem to have been mentioned above: the learning skills have been removed from the game and every pilot has received some skill points in compensation. More information is available in this dev blog.

I can walk around captain's quarters as amarr...

So basically this is a brand new game and I have to relearn everything LOL. How are a lot of people toward new guys? I mean am I going to travel out of the started area and get killed the second I leave or are people fairly friendly toward newer players and tend to help them out? Also is being in a corporation worth looking into right away or kind of feel my way around the game before deciding?

You know what I mean lol

Only the CQ itself is Minmatar

So any recommendations out there for a corporation? I like mostly PVE but some PVP is always welcome. I am looking for an active one also. I hate being the only person on. I normally play a few hours a day. I understand this may not be the place to post this but hey might as well try LOL
