EVE New Citizens Q&A

All right, one more wall of text, then I'm going to stop bumping this thread before it starts getting annoying and you can use the search bar to your upper right instead.

Aggression mechanics: when you jettison something, it goes into a can that floats in space. If someone takes something from it and they're not a member of your corporation, you're allowed to attack them without CONCORD coming to arrest you. Same if you take something from a wreck that they own. There should be a pop-up warning if you're about to take something you don't own, plus the container will be yellow (as opposed to white = it's yours, blue = it's anyone's).

Stocks: You don't buy them, shares exist solely as a way to apportion voting rights in a corporation or alliance, essentially used only when you need to get rid of a CEO who's gone AWOL for a few months and elect a new one. They're not a financial instrument in the sense or real-world stock.

Captain's Quarters: Don't bother, there's a "science and planets" option on the left-bar menu in space or in the hangar that works better than the awkward walking in station stuff. Most everyone I know has disabled captain's quarter's entirely, at this point int he game it's quite pointless.

Rigs: As a week-old or younger player, don't bother. When you do bother, just read the descriptions. The majority of rigs give a 10% bonus to something and create a 10% penalty for something else. The most frequently used rigs for new players are energy grid rigs, both because running low on power grid or capacitor is a common problem and because energy grid rigs have no drawback.

Ships: As a _really_ new player, you need about two ships: the ship you're flying, and the identical ship you'll replace it with when the ship you're flying blows up. As a moderately new player, you'll probably have an industrial flying around, a destroyer for salvaging, and ether a destroyer or a cruiser as your main mission ship, plus as many frigates as you bloody well please. There's no set number, and if you feel you're getting to have too many just sell some of them. (Right click, sell item)

HACs, dec, facemelting, poping, and tackleing: a type of ship you don't need to worry about yet, short for "war declaration" discussed previously, colloquialism for doing a lot of damage esp. with lasers, your ship or pod blowing up, and another way to say "pointing" or "scramming".

In the last case, people sometimes use "tackle" to refer to the process of flying a ship that's primarily dedicated to preventing a target from escaping and use pointing to refer to the specific module.

Jita: It's a system which is a high-sec trade hub, possibly the largest of the high-sec trade hub depending on the day of the week, the phase of the moon, and which runes the bones show inverted. Because there's no such thing as a "set price" for any item (well, exception: skill books for lower-tier skills are sold by NPCs and thus have mostly set prices) the majority of people sort of treat what something is selling for in Jita as a standard price by which they normalize their data to figure profit margins and so one.

Research and industry: These are the two things you can do with blueprints. Industry means taking the blueprint and making whatever the blueprint says it makes. You do this from a manufacturing station, which can only handle so many jobs (slots) at a time. Research involves a similar setup in terms of finding a station and putting the blueprint in a slot until the job is done, but the outcome is a new blueprint with different (better) characteristics than the one you put in. In terms of the lowest level of technology, it's as simple as sticking just the blueprint in and then getting basically the same thing back out with a shorter manufacture time (or efficiency). In terms of the higher level of technology (T2) you have to sort of throw a bunch of components in there and cross your fingers.

You can do manufacturing and research at either NPC stations, or player-owned starbases with a manufacturing/research module attached.

OK, I think that's about all I've got. Hopefully this thread will make up for the fiddling with the forums over the last year destroying a lot of the old reference material's accessibility.

I suspect we are being played with the oddly misspelled terms etc. I hope I am wrong.

In before lock.

Obvious troll, 0/10

If (though doubt it) genuine:

Train your google skills.

Stuff you ask here are either explained in the tutorials or easily searched on Google.

So stop wasting our time, which is better spent on New players that have genuine questions, as again you are asking obvious stuff that is easily searched on Google or the Forums.

And before you start but I'm in the newb corp / alliance, so is my 2 year old Alt as it never moved corporations, means you stay with the new player corp.

To all other players on the forum, stop feeding this stupid troll / player, he isn't worth your time. Let's go back to helping with the genuine questions.

Then ask your friend all these questions which all can be found by using Google or the forums search engine.

He, as most of us, will be fed up by it very quickly. EVE isn't a hand held MMO, you have to figure out stuff YOURSELF and do some research. If you don't like that kind of gameplay, then EVE isn't the game for you.

Meaning, if you have a question (after some research) about how something works, EVE forums are a nice way to ask. But asking (IMO really stupid) things like what does Ganking means is just lazy as if you go to google and type in: EVE Online Ganking it will give you what it means. So does it with every single thing you asked so far (maybe excluding what types of corps there are around).

So again: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Glossary
Read it and you will know 99% of the terms in EVE

The OP, an innocent flower, seems to know enough to be posting on an anti-Goon thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=100321&find=unread

I have a question for the OP: do you ever sleep?

differnt corps? as in mining? mission running? PVP? Griefer? its just what they normally do...
if you mean mission wise?
security = combat missions, mining= mining, distribution = transportation

OK, so I have to ask ...

is this the first time you've ever been allowed to browse the internet without direct parent supervision?

Also, what is the hulkageddon that everyone is talking about?

It's where everyone gets a Hulk and goes mining across New Eden so there are Hulks mining in every belt
