Never seen the egg one, mostly because I tend to shoot pods if I can. Doesn't leave them in the egg long enough to ask that question.

Not really a newbie question. More of a newbie exclamation.

Upon first undocking in EVE Online, my friend only had this to say:

"how the hell do you have 2 guns on your ship and I only have 1?!? You are cheating, I quit."

- My girlfriend on day one of both of us playing Eve. I took off the civilian mining laser from my noob ship and added a second laser to shoot rats in a mission.

I also remember a new person complaining after many hours of "mining." He said everyone told him to start out mining to make isk. He only activated his gattling laser the whole time. I suggested he avoid mining all together.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Only yesterday, I heard this while lurking in Amarr local: "So when do I get my free ISH-Scorp like everyone else?"

I was stunned at how quickly the "learning cliff" has been overcome... Roll

I thought this thread sounded familiar. I'm even seeing some people posting on both threads. I am now taking bets on whether this thread will last longer than the other both in time and number of posts.

Please do not use insider information to win this contest. I mean, like if you know that on a particular weekend all of the ISD's in the company are flying out for an all expense paid party, please abstain from betting.

I got asked this a few weeks ago:

"What is ship spinning and how do I do it?"

Everytime a ship dies in eve, it drops an egg in a last ditch effort to leave a legacy. Your goal from there is to fly the egg into the sun where it will stay warm enough to hatch into a noob ship, where it will grow and age to the size of a titan, provided it can live that long.

1) That other thread is already closed. Wouldn't be a very good contest.

2) Justice never sleeps, and ISD rarely does. Insomnia and all that.

3) "Why can't I target your ship, ISD? You must be cheating!" Haha, good times during the holidays.

A nooby question very often asked by seasoned veterans:

FC: "Align to the outgate"
Clueless fleet member: "Which gate?"

...in a system with two gates, one of which we just came through.

Go ahead and align to a gate from a station with an MWD permarunning in a 10mn MWD frigate with snakes and a zor's. You can do it from DT to DT for weeks and you won't get there.

Yes, you can permarun a 10mn Daredevil with Avatar bonuses.
