EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello. This game has always scared me, but i decided to take a shot at it...althought i usually hate games.

I decided to create this thread so i could ask questions when needed...i hope that is ok?

Ok, here i go:

1: Where can i find a friendly EU corporation that is willing to teach noobs? I now NOTHING about this game...i want someone that can explain me the very, very basics of this game. But a lot of people tell me not all corps can be trusted.

2: So i just started. Do i do the tutorial and only that, or is there something else i should focus on?

Thanks in advance..i'll post more questions if i have some.

Oh yeah, when do i get to choose my "class"?

you do not pick a class, you just put whatever skills you like into your training queue. as for corps, there is eve university and a few others that i forgot. also check the angel project, a good way to get some free stuff if you need it.

The underlined makes me think you are just another trolling alt...

But if your are really a new player, which I doubt.


1.) The recruitment pages on the forums, the recruitment channel, the recruitment engine in game.

EVE-Uni is a "good" teaching corp. personally never joined them, so can't fully judge them. But their wiki stuff is very good, which makes me think they know what they are doing.

Other then that, plenty of smaller new player friendly corps around. Just do your research. Nightcrawler 85 has made a great "guide" on how to find a corp: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=16943&find=unread

Also. Plenty of people who have their own public channel where you can hang out with them and other people and ask questions, get to know people.

2.

I.) AURA tutorials
II.) ALL 5 career agents.
III.) Sisters of EVE Epic arc (optional, though highly recommended).
IV.) Sandbox...do what you want, no guiding, NO CLASSES, your only limit is your imagination.

...no recruitment here please. But don't think it's intended.

Socket issues look like your connection to the internet isn't stable enough to keep your connection the the EVE server. If the client <> server connection detects connection loss it kicks you off / disconnect you.

Yes, you CAN max out everything, however with the skills in EVE currently (summer will add a couple of skills) it takes about 25 years to skill ALL skills in EVE to 5.

chill out bro. there are always people with their heads up their behinds, even on here. also some more info on skills. like has already been said, maxing out all skills takes a lifetime but maxing out skills for one specific style of play can take only a few months.
i would advise you to read up and try out for a few weeks or so and then pick one thing that you enjoy the most and train that up to near perfection so that you can play with the big guys.

edit: here is a general overview of things you can do in EVE.

that assumption was made because, well you see... lots of people like to have fun on the forums and goof around pretending to be a new player, or baiting others into conflict- and thats all that was.

you're probably just who you say you are and we wont call you a troll anymore, but you gotta grow some thicker skin if you expect to have any kind of longevity in this game (or fun for that matter). EVE is a harsh game- like no other

If the problem in both games is fixed simply by connecting to the calbe/DSL modem via a cable instead of WiFi, then the problem is indeed at the player's end and not the server's end. It's entirely possible that the current WiFi channel cannot handle constant activity like is necessary for games. It may be necessary to switch channels or maybe even move the modem so the WiFi connection can be stabilized.

Ok, thanks for the replies everyone...25 years o.0

Not sure if i want to focus on making money or bringing justice to pirates :P

you should always be aware that you are playing this game for fun, not as a second job. there is nothing more pathetic than mining all weekend to buy a PLEX to be able to mine some more.
unless you cannot or do not want to spend real life money on EVE, you should probably at least pay the monthly subscription and use the ISK you earn ingame for other things like ships, skill books etc.

First off: you will annoy a lot of people if you use the term "quest" in here. EVE has missions, not quests.

Regarding your salvager, it will be put into your items hangar when you accept the mission.
