EVE New Citizens Q&A

The answer is simple. If you plan to do missions together, then be in fleet, one of you takes the mission. Then you do it, and split the rewards when the one of you, who took the mission, reports on its completion.

Edit: starter missions and epic arcs will have to be done for each of your chars, but you can still split cash and standings rewards.

Look up your GF in local / corp chat / private chat.

Right Click > Form Fleet With

Go from there! A tip about missions: each do a mission for an NPC corp of your choice. Then, help one another on subsequent missions. You will both gain standings as a Fleet for missions the other person completes. Mission givers will also ask you if you want to share ISK rewards with your Fleet.

Wow this is a question i have actually never seen here before, but a very good one

Me and my better half actually met in EVE and one living in Norway and another one in US really does not make things like "dating" easy, thus we tried to find ways in EVE to be together. I will admit that we failed miserably at this one.

Dont take me wrong, EVE is a great game but it does not allow you the same sense of.. togetherness as other games where you have more interaction does. In general i have found that couples that play EVE does not actually play together. They will sit in the same room and talk to eachother but their ingame activeties will be completely different. As an example he will be off in a WH with someone else, she will be running missions with someone completely different. In many cases people arent even in the same corp.

So here is my advice to the both of you... Keep playing EVE, join the same corp if you wish, do things together once in a while (missions,pvp, mining,scout for eachother and so on) but understand the fact that with so many options and interests EVE provides (combined with the fact that "a ship" really dosent add to you feeling close to someone, and yes i know i will get some comments on that statment ) you will end up finding different enjoyable aspects of the game that you dont have in common.

Also, before the idea even can occur to you.. Be very casius of running off and starting a corp together!
In EVE ,like with any game, running a corp/guild/cabal/clan is rough because it takes so much time. In EVE its taken to a new level and its very easy to have ingame arguments transfer to your real life. And trust me sometimes i wish i dident have to sit and try to explain what my plans are for recruiting over the dinner table while listening to my better half trying to figure out how to word a post about the new ROE policy

I wish you both the best of luck tho and hope you will be able to find a way to play EVE as a couple

+1 all my gf plays is facebook games....

Find a goal you both agree to, in a shooter the goal is obvious and in your face making the choice easy (and actually non-existent). In EVE having the same goal doesn't necessarily mean doing the same thing at the same time. Missions are very straight forward, boring and linear. Try something more diverse and interesting, something that actually requires teamwork.

Oh and don't think in stereotypes or make suggestions based on them, that's a good way to have it go sour.

Missions are the shittiest game mechanic by a wide margin that CCP has ever come up with. Almost every other activity will reward you for doing stuff with other people. So, find something cool that isn't missions (there's a lot), and do that.

it's hard to say what you should do as different people enjoy different parts of EVE. if my significant other was interested in the game, i would probably try to run some duo lowsec roams in cheap ships. unfortunately, not only is she not interested in EVE, she is even less interested in pvp in general.
you both should take some time to look around and find out what each of you enjoys about eve and then try to find some synergy. if for example you are interested in running missions and she enjoys doing farmvilley stuff, you could leave salvaging, converting LP and selling stuff on the market to her. if one of you likes pvp and the other one likes mining, you could set up a retriever trap in lowsec and smack wannabe gankers in the face.

i could go on but you probably get my point.

Set traps for each other.

Go roaming together in lowsec, hunting random people, and if you can't find prey, shoot each other.

Wormholes are tough on newbies, the NPCs are nasty and they hit hard, the residents can be even nastier, and they will send you home via the podgoo express. If you venture into them my main advice would be bookmark, bookmark, bookmark.

Shoot her ship!
Loot her wreck!
Yarr all the goodies!
