I expect the cyno would have registered as coming from the system they were "slowboating" from, seeing as though the cyno ship would not have initialized the session change into the Jovian system. It would have just appeared on grid, and the system would still be registering in the top left as the original system, I expect. All just wild speculation and theory though. Maybe the ship would have jumped through into a huge bright-white hanger and a purple llama would have offered the pilot a "good price" on some V4 shaders for their hull for making it that far. Space is big remember, and full of things.



I bought this account!


Is that so?

Also that quote that I posted, was from this thread, two days ago.

Bullshit your way out of that one...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

This is why CCP needs to put a button in the esc menu that takes you back to WoW.






Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Step 1) Learn what "biomassing" means.

An option at the end of the tutorial would be good too, either to continue or to install WoW.

I rather enjoyed the world PVP in WoW. The lack of financial loss obviously had its downsides, but it also made people less risk-averse; plenty of fair fights with mechanics that put EvE's rock/paper/scissors to shame. It was also nice that PVE/PVP was interleaved; bored to death collecting X of Y for NPC Z? Good news! you just spotted a fruity elf over that ridge; time to bash skulls.

Remember, even if the PvP is consensual, always wear a condom!

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

For PvP, I prefer World of Tanks over both WoW and EvE.

The undock button is how you agree to nonconsentual pvp. Welcome to eve.

Next time somebody's an *******, I'll ask if he's consenting to fight before I punch him in the face. As a matter of fact, I'll check whether or not I'm in an arena...

Hey guys!

I just recently joined the EVE Universe (EVE sounds like a girl, lol!) coming from WOW.
I love the gear you can put on your ship and everything, and the crafting system looks pretty cool for ships & items. I also love the auction-house mechanics and the region thing and everything; makes me feel right at home coming from the WOW universe! P

But there is one thing I'm not getting with this game! Why is there not a consensual PVP option - especially for us miners / indy guys? What?

After all, with the completely open perk tree that lets you train anything regardless of race / alliance, I thought that EVE is all about free choice? Surely I should be able to exempt myself from the PVP system too, especially if my ships have no weapon gear equipped? Or how about just arena-based PVP?? Idea

Although not as broad and popular as WOW, EVE is still a great game and I hope that the Devs can implement something like this to bring it up to WOW standards of awesomeness. I'll definitely be telling my friends in my WOW Guild about this, so they can come play too! What do you guys think? Question

P.S. Sorry for the long-ish post!

If it's a fair fight, you're doing it wrong, and so is your opponent.

edit - It's rock/paper/scissors/HOTDROP

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
