EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello guys,

My name is Zackery and I have just bought eve online. Have any thoughts or advice for me and my new adventure in eve! :)

There are many things to do in EvE, check out the link below:

One of the things to look out for, if you don't want to spend too much real money for the game, is to be financially stable ingame. You'd want to be able to buy your things and not be dependent on others, and this route will show you the money making side of EvE which is altogether another aspect of the game.

For battles there's the Red versus Blue (RvB) and Factional Warfare (FW), which will expose you to space combat with other gamers. There is also security missions for NPC agents, but these are against the computer so it might become repetitive after a while (though it can provide good money).

Edit: EvE has been around for quite some time now, and it has it's own share of grumpy old timers.. maybe even grumpier than your average MMO. Just mind your business and they'll leave you alone eventually.

This....

EVE is a sandbox, it's what you want it to be.

So, think of questions first, then do a search on the forums/internet, if still not answered: post them here and we will help you.

But your OP as it stands now has nothing in it that we could work with.

EVE is too big for such a general thread.

So my only advice at this point: Run the tutorials and learn the basics of EVE and when you have dedicated questions, ask them.

I am consistently impressed with your posts Veda, also you share a first name with my mother :)

If you'd like any more pvp practice get in touch, i'll dispatch someone close to your age to fight you :D

EDIT : Frigates aren't basic they are just small. It's the pilot that makes the hull what it is and you will likely find yourself returning to T1 frigates time and time again in your career. The true sign of a newbro is when he believes frigates are newbro ships.

Mr Chili, where have you been. Long time since we've seen a post from you

If you can't afford to lose your ship then seek out the minimal risk activities. You don't wanna be stranded with a bad wallet and need to work your way back up again.

Welcome to Eve OP, be prepared to throw away any misconceptions that other games may have given you, here bigger does not always equal better and flying shiny stuff fitted with uber gear is an open invitation to deprive you of it via an explosion.

You have however started off in the right section of the forums, if you ask sensible questions on specific topics you will get plenty of help here, otherwise there is a multitude of web content just a search away that will answer any general questions you have. You've already found a corp which is a fine start, listen to your corpmates, don't be afraid to ask them for advice, it's what a corp is for, hopefully they will show you the ropes and put you on a path you will enjoy. Things in Eve are definitely best done in groups although solo is totally possible, just not as rewarding.

CCP provide very little content, 90% of the content here is player generated, the market is seeded for the most part by players, you can engage in warfare, either the pewpew kind or the economic kind, you can take part in small gang operations running around with some friends killing anything that takes your fancy, many corps (even the hardcore PvP ones) organise PvE ops which can be mining, running missions etc, some enjoy poking their noses into a wormhole and depriving another corporation of the lovely NPCs that inhabit them or even removing their home if they fancy it, you can even be a tourist and go on a sight seeing trip around New Eden, the only limits here are your imagination and determination to see it through.

Thank you :) I actually got the name from the the Sanskrit for knowledge.

newbro it is then! Lots to learn

Welcome to the spacepixel jungle, Zackery! EVE is harsh, but very fun. EVE is what you make it, no matter what you choose to do (and EVE has so much to choose from!) o7
