I undocked, tried to kill them in my Catalyst, put one of them in low structure then exploded marvelously.

Was reprimanded, argued with the FC for being an idiot and making 250 people stay docked when up against 3 interceptors, got kicked a few days later.

After that I got put on this list and some false bullshit was said about me on the Eve University private forums.

But it was a good thing, because a month later I moved to 0.0 and stayed there for a few years, best time of my gamer life.

That being said, **** Eve University and the protected carebear environment they create and encourage, none of the bullshit they teach is actually useful in the real Eve, just like school is generally just filler bullshit for real life.

Not a bad, "I know everything" attitude for a noob.


I was the kind of "noob" that read about Eve for about a year before I got into it, I knew everything from fleet ops to FC techniques by the time my trial was over.

Because of that I knew that 250 vs 3 being ordered to stay docked was absolutely ******** and refused to follow a bad order by a coward risk averse carebear FC.

I am a Noob ( 4 months in eve I have learnt to crawl and crap my dipper )

When I was a noob I read the forum posts so far the forum has taught me that hi sec needs nerfing and buffing, low sec is dead needs buffing and nerfing, null sec is dead but controlled by big alliances that go to war with each other all the time oh and needs buffing and nerfing.
The drake is the only ship to fly but it needs buffing and nerfing, theres too much isk, plex are too expensive and ccp are trying to rip every one off.

Im confused.com What?

I like the game but what do I know im a noob Big smile

The forum were fun, ships were fast and the drake was worth flying.


Well...what else can be said? Ryan pretty much nailed this one.

Two isd members posted in my thread. I feel proud.

Since I'm still a noob this kinda doesn't count, but back when I was BRAND BRAND new, I thought the Thorax was godlike, and it would take years to get a retreiver. Oh yea, and I was going to fight someone, screwed up the can flip, and got shot by concord. They gave me 10m which I bought a catalyst with, and felt like a boss with 6 small prototype gauss guns.

The first time i login was with my first Minmatar toon i bypassed the tutorial got my ship rushed out to space got my joystick ready.. only to discover i could not actually fly the ship.... I promptly closed the game, uninstalled it, and went back to CoH. That was about 2006-2007.

This was my 2nd or 3rd character. I didn't even make it through my trial before I subbed. A couple weeks in I signed up for a power of 2 account. I believe this character was the 2nd character created on that account. I did have a skilless alt on my first account with the same name, I bio'ed him.

The first account was Gallente mission runner. I just had to have a Hyperion, which I got within the first 2 weeks. I fit like a pro! That link is worth clicking.

Anyways I had a thing for faction ships. So I cross trained the hell out of this character and bought everyone I could get my hands on. I didn't have the skills or the knowledge to fit any of them. So I would just undock and hang around high sec station when I was bored of running missions on my main. I could fly just about every T1 ship in the game before I started training other skills and this became my main.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Considering that Bush was the last president, I am sure it must have been pretty light reading.
Good luck!

Actually, after having done a little reading from your linky's, posting as you have is excellent for noobs.

You have done exactly what you should not do - as a noob. I'm sure noobs will appreciate your sacrifice for the common good.

PS: Including I see, going out again next day, as a WT, in a shuttle and getting popped and podded.

I woulda been chasing a refund on all those "How to be an FC" & "Eve PvP - How to in 3 easy steps" books you musta read.

And this.......

...the terrible people in my NPC corp almost ruined my game experience. I heard this bug with 2004 mission runners contaminating our noobs is still not fixed, and CCP does still not moderate the starter corp chats. These chat rooms dictate the direction of their EVE career to many, and give a horrible first impression to new players.
