EVE New Citizens Q&A

Uhhh huhhhh...

note to self: always assume female who joins your corp is a potential spai/AWOXer/thief. Keep guns primed.

I've removed an off topic post. Please keep it on topic and civil. Thank you.

When I started playing EvE I tried to learn it all by myself: tutorials, reading articles et cetera. After I read an article about Brave Newbies I decided to head in first with this group. Their goal: learn Eve by playing Eve and have fun doing it.

In my first week I found myself back participating on roams into null sec, wormholes and large battles. I had zero experience in these things, no skillpoints, no money, no ships. I joined the Heksodus to Rahadalon and started mining in low sec. Being on edge because every minute there was the danger of being jumped on by "pirates". Now I tackle unexpected "pirates" with mining ships and join the feast of killing them after the fleet has warped in.

We Newbies learn and play and have fun doing it: and we are only just beginning.

I think EVEuni, Red vs Blue, BNI and others are all fine to join if you want to learn the game. The differences between them, I think, has more to do with the larger plan of each individual corporation. It is up to you to figure out which team, with the right attitude fits your attitude best.

Have fun and 7o from a Brave Newbie!

Been there, didn't do it and damn do I feel sorry about that.

If I could do it all over I would have been a couple of bil richer now.

Thanks to everyone who helped me I did decide to join Brave Newbies. I originally joined another corp but it was small and very little action and was in the wrong timezone so I decided to go with Brave Newbies. Trying to get to their home system was so much fun and crazy. I have learned if you join Brave Newbies all of a sudden High Sec is not safe at all. It was so tense trying to get to their home system running from war targets, while being taunted by them when I ran into a station to come out and fight. Sorry this girl is not going to give you a free easy war kill When I made it their home system and saw all the green in local I literally breathed a sigh of relief. I am not sure a game has ever had my heart pumping and adrenaline going like that, it was awesome!!

Now I just have to continue to scale the huge learning curve which is very intimidating. But this game has made me have a completely different level of fun and I have no doubt I have a strong support system with Brave Newbies. Look out if you are in low sec as I get better you had better get blue status because I will be happy to shoot you with my fleet if not

There are countless 'new corporations' with big ambitions and very little means of achieving them.

Your best bet is to situate yourself in an established corporation. While you're new it can be invaluable to have the knowledge of experienced players and infrastructure that comes with an established corporation.

Sorry Minmatar I was a good girl and didn't take anything. They were a great group of guys and they knew what they were doing so I didn't take a single thing. I was just torn between several corps and after spending a day in the first one I felt Brave Newbies would be more my style.
