EVE General Discussion

This will come off as whiney and I don't mean it to be. I love EVE and have played since Oct 30th 2004. I just came back from a two year break and fired up my two accts. One was this Hulk pilot and the other was Orca alt. Mined for a couple weeks in a small corp and what can I say it's mining. I decided to get a combat character so I sold my Orca pilot. I got a 7.7mil pvp starter toon. Not uber but has plenty of ships she can fly and decent gunnery and support.

So I decided to do FW. Joined a corp and ganged up with them a couple times and did alot of solo roaming. Couldn't get a fair fight at all. Never could get a even match against anyone. Always me versus 3-4, when I COULD get a fight. Ended up losing a few hundred mil in ships til I said enough is enough and quit the corp and FW.
Saw my toon could fly a Noctis which looked neat so I thought maybe I'll get into salvaging. I figure the quickest way is just to do some ninja salvaging. Wasn't really making enough isk to make it worth the time even though I don't play the game to make isk. I see a video on FW salvaging elite wrecks so I fit up a magnate to scan and salvage and run all over and never could find any elite wrecks so I just came back to high sec.

I would really like to pvp but I don't think null/low sec mechanics are too attractive to me. I think just to be able to shoot some people I might end up war deccing someone. Does anyone do this anymore? I know back in the old days it happened all the time. Just trying to find something in the game to latch onto. I'd hate to unsub before my first month back is up. Any ideas?

Found the problem.

Welcome to EVE. Stop looking for 'fair fights'.

1v4 is actually a fight in your favor. Stop complaining and reap those 4 noobs. And you should consider yourself lucky since it's very hard to get a fight like 1v7 because they'lre all like OMG HE'S A PIERAT RUN AWAY!!!

This is basically your first problem. FW is not, and hasn't ever been about fair fights.

In FW space, expect to be blobbed, expect to have a Falcon uncloak near a plex entry gate, expect even blues to jump off the button when you warp in.

But don't expect a fair 1v1. It's not happening.

If you want some goodfights, join RvB, they are the place to be to find them. That's pretty much what they're for.

Duel fight in a market hub. Reppers that come out to help in a fight go yellow and are toast, so you usually end up with a 1v1 - altho many will have command ships giving them buffs, but if ya check their kb you'll know what your up against.

So what is your gaming style? Your in game moral code? Can you cut loose and get edgy with a fun corp that fits your style? hisec decs happen all the time. Start chatting with different people in local and get to know them, you may find a group you like to be with and let the shenanigans begin! :) Don't give up quickly, I'm sure you'll find a great group of peeps that you'll love hanging out with.

I like the way you think.

Your avatar looks like a fish with 1 hand on its ass.

^This. Spaceship Warlords don't live anymore in Rens. They stopped playing. What's left of the really old players are their small servants. Even if pro, servants remain servants.

^This too. Blobs are smart picking fights, and a theoretical chance of 10% you loose is because eve is eve. Stations and npc-null handle the rest of situation. This means being pro.
Now a bit more serious, what good to have 100m skillpoint if you unshure of your abilities? Because this way of playing the game shows just the fact that most of the Pro Boyz are in fact cowards gangs.
E-honour is bullshit, i agree.
Just like e-peen.
