EVE New Citizens Q&A

Your never to young to do anything in this game. Will you get stomped a lot at first....yes. But the experience gained (piloting experience not skills points) is the real plus.

Do not go into null with expensive implants. I barely ever go to null with anything in my head. You will eventually get bubbled and if you lose, there goes the pod and implant.

I recommend you start out, as others have said, in FW lowsec. Here are a few good systems to try that have a decent markets.

Huola (either of the stations) Minmatar/Amarr warzone front lines
Vlillirier - Cal/Gal warzone near where i live. Email me if you want to fly some time ill take you out and show you the ropes.
Nennemalia - Cal/gal
Nisuwa - Cal/Gal
Flosewin - Min/Amarr
Kourmonen (next door to Huola) also good market - min/Amarr


Try living in one of these places first and getting the hang of piloting. Nullsec is a different experieince than low sec. I find that your are much more likely to get blobbed and bubbled by bored locals who all want to pile on a rifter kill because they havent seen anyone to kill in days. Also - Null Sec pilots THINK they are superior, but i have found that the majority of them suck solo. They are so used to small gang or large gang fleets that they cant handle true solo competition. Don't listen to their superiority complex. They are rarely better skilled then what i see daily in Lowsec FW space.

The action in FW Lowsec however is constant and strong. Yes there can be blob fleets, but your much more likely to run into solo pilots as well and get good fights.

The fact that you are willing to buy plex and dont care about losing isk is a great plus for you and the fun you can have in this game. I see people all the time not having fun because "awww i spent days earning the isk to buy that ship, dont wanna undock it and lose it". Don't fall into that rut. It is not a fun way to play.

Also - dont worry about your killboard. The FUN is the engagement itself and what you do while engaged. Its like a strategic chess match. How you position yourself, the weapons your sporting, their attributes, your tank, your speed etc...are all factors in the chess match. Alot of times the fight is decided by the opening move. As you get into more engagement you will learn things like how fast your ship will turn, what range you should stay at to do max DPS while limiting your opponents DPS (scram range kiting or regular kiting within 24 km), when to turn back in to secure the kill, when to align out to something and try to bug out when you see reinforcement on D-Scan. This is all learned through piloting and experience yourself. No one can successfully tell you these things.

well ty for the tips mate,but im thinking of a safer way now,to learn the basic pvp,im gonna find missioners with probes,warp to them,act like hey im a newbie whos salvaging your loot,and loot one of his/hey wrecks,once i become yellow to him,i can warp out IF things get ugly for me,but he cant since i will have distruptor ,this way i get to greaf too,and i get to kill battle ships with a thrasher,
thanks to my new teacher, when i get the skills to use that fit he gave me,im gonna start greafing,
one question thu,
do ppl in BS's pay you isk not to kill them while their structure hp is so low that they can die with 1more blow from me????
oh i will kill then anyway,just wondering if i can see them QQ


well i dont care that he called me a noob ,like u said i had fun
and about goonswarm yea ill wait till i get some kills(omg i cant wait for the kills) to learn a little bit of pvp at least
then ill "try" to join goonswarm,if i didnt get to join im sure there are other greafers out there

They might - although because of people like you, many don't.

Also, if you get a reputation of not honoring ransoms, you might have trouble getting into some corps. After all, if you break some of your promises, who can be sure that you wont break other promises as well? Other corps will applaud you for it. But choose carefully, as your reputation is the most valuable thing in EVE.

That's one killboard.

Here's another one:

You'll want to bookmark and reference both, since one might miss kills or updates the other one catches.

Brave newbies bring fights pure and simple - they don't seem to care about odds at all, the only negative thing I can say about them is that they seem to lack organization.

they live up to their name :-)

Actually, being in Null as a newbie is fine, but you need support. Kudos for not being afraid and giving it a try.

Also, since you mention you are willing to buy plex. Just don't carry plex around in your cargohold.....EVER! Or you'll be someone Lolkil mail. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=16767710

Not too disorganized from my experience, but ive only been involved for a week. nice roams, great fights and good FCing. There is something like 5K people in the Alliance with anywhere from 100-300 on and available at any given time. never a dull moment.
