So I've been watching the ATX10, and I was wondering... would there be interest in tutorials of that quality shown in the tournament?

I'm thinking about making some, I've got a background in video editing and animation. If there is interest can you guys tell me what you'd want to see? I like the cap one, but making more videos to explain ECM? webs? How Resistances and the tracking system work?

Maybe a video on each weapon type?

how ammo changes combat?

I can make it look just as slick as ccp does.

Honestly, with this game any help is a good thing, especially for newcomers. People who are veterans may even be able to learn some things they may not have known. Knowledge is supreme power in eve

Eve, the only game where it's up to the players to provide documentation Shocked

You should definitely do it, even people who've been playing for years tend to learn something new every so often.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

suggestions guys I need a list of things that i should make. eve is so complex I'm not sure I can make the list on my own. I guess I could make 4 or 5 to start and ask for suggestions?

also white backgrounds? or dark UI layout so it matches the eve UI look?

My suggestion would be

Turret Ammo, the different types and how they effect optimal range & falloff

This is nothing new. There are literally hundreds of videos detailing every game mechanic you could possibly imagine and they're all available now and free. Try Google or Youtube or one of the dozens of Wiki pages with video links, or http://www.youtube.com/user/SeamusDonohueEVE

Here's my list of suggestions if you really want to do this


  • Stacking penalties
  • ewar (ecm, tracking disrupters, sensor damps, and so on)
  • dps, damage types, resistances, active tank vs passive tank and how all that works together
  • cloaking, decloaking range, decloaking someone
  • cap management, why 100% cap stability isn't always needed, cap boosters, energy neuts, nos,
  • signature size, speed, how this helps you survive stuff, (speed tanking) transversal speed
  • aggression timer, logoffski (how why its bad to log off with aggression, probes), concord, gate/station guns and low sec
  • fall-off and optimal range,
  • drones...
  • fleet bonuses, (commandships and t3 links),
  • logistic ships, and basic fleet multipliers like that and ecm (and links)
  • target painters, how it helps it damage projection with both missiles and turrets (turrets have easier time hitting larger targets and so on)


Feel free to contact me ingame mate if you need more suggestions or numbers and details

nope sorry it shows the eve UI. These would be videos that could be embedded in a professional game, not some recording of the game with someone trying to explain what your looking at.

These videos are great for players who have a grip on the game that's definitively not what I'm aiming for.

I'll create a lot of original art assets for this project
