EVE New Citizens Q&A

1.) Amazing looking space, look at your backgrounds and that is about as good as it will be (different colours for different factions), maybe some nice gas clouds in some missions.

2.) http://swiftandbitter.com/eve/wtd/ - Great chart of what you can do in EVE.

3.) Corporation finding, use forums / in game search tool / in game channel: Recruitment. But do your research.

4.) Missions or mining are the easiest way to make money. But if you think in EVE you can make quick money for little effort, you should reconsider your thinking.

5.) There are couple of places to read up with the Lore of EVE. Don't know them cause I can't be bothered with them personally.

My god, it is so nice to see positive people on the forums this place always gets hostile for a bit after a expansion.

The things a beginner can do are the same things a eve vet can do, just not as well, if you can fit a Micro warp drive a web and a jammer any fleet in their right mind will take you,

the larger ships in eve have a hard time stopping ships from running away so they need people in small fast ships to pin them down so the heavy guns can go to work.

i would suggest having a stable income source and if you want t do PVP, Missions are your best choice they have alot of the same skills required in pvp.

That being said this game is a true sandbox, anything that you can think of can make money just try to ind the highest ISK for time option.

And dont be worried about not being able to catch up to any EVE vets as far as PVP or PVE, Any pilot can go head to head with a vet in about 6 months of training.

Congrats

Welcome!

Speaking of Dust 514 did you receive a dust beta invite? If so Ill be shooting you in the face soon.

Figure out how you want to make isk in the game and then get into pvp. PVP is the most exciting thing you can do in eve.

As a newer player pvp options may be slightly limited as you will need to focus on maxing your core skills out. Once you get that squared away and can use tech II guns on your frigate you'll be on a more even footing with other frig pilots.

If you want to try a truly crazy profession you could attempt clandestine salvaging. This entails getting a frig with a cloak and a bunch of salvagers. Then you check the map for big engagements in low or null sec, then you try to scour the battlefield of tech II wrecks which will give you tech II salvage which is very valuable.

You will need to learn how to avoid/escape bubbles, use tech II salvagers, and have a running knowledge of the names of tech II ships.

Welcome to EVE :) Dropped You an evemail.

if you do all the turtorials i think u end up with 2mil maybe only 1.5

I would also recommend doing the Sisters of EVE epic arc, it gives some decent ISK for a new player (at least that's how I remember it) and will allow you to get more familiar with the game mechanics. Plus it's an epic story arc.

Heh, I hope you enjoy massive blob of ECM and undock humping because this is how Eve Uni does pvp. How do they call it, "deny aggressor of fight enjoyment"? Or something like that :)

But anyway, welcome to Eve. I expected whine thread about patches breaking your game - which always amazes me because how da f*ck I never got such problems? - but you just seem to be excited and ready for new experiences. So I will give you only one advice, ok two actually:
1. Don't let anybody to tell you how you should play your game. It's your money and your pixels, do what you want with them and rest can go f*ck themselves if they don't like it.
2. Only stupid questions are those not asked (I think I stole it from J'Poll but it's true) BUT for the love of whatever you cherish in this world at least try to do some research by yourself before you create new thread about best pvp ship, best way of money making, best anything, etc. Lot of things are already covered on those forums, use search buttan, please.

And one more thing: there is no best ship in Eve, there are only ships that are more or less suitable in given circumstances. Although some say best ship is Friendship
