EVE General Discussion

Learning to Pew in FW.

Still Learning to Pew in FW.

I had RL friends start playing EvE in 2003. It did not look very exciting to me (probably because they were mining). Later I decided to try it. I officially started in EvE in late 2005 (EvE was my first MMO), so 6 months later it was early 2006.

I had started a corp (Pinnacle Sun Industries), living in The Forge in the Inaya system, having a good time with a great group of pilots, PvPing in low/null sec, banded together with other corps living in Inaya against macro and sweat shop miners, developed strategies to run them out of the system by bumping and other tactics. Tried every possible activity in game minus black hat professions.

Three months later we were living in null, corp tore in half between those who didn't want to go to null sec and those who did, The Big Blue was under assault by that big mercenary group (I forget their name), our supply route was cut off, so we merged with another corporation in our alliance to survive. They had capitals, so we could jump our junk into our home system.

6 months from now... so mid 2014. Hmm. Good question... I'll probably have scouted out and setup a 3rd base in a distant part of the galaxy from my 1st and 2nd bases. I'm feeling like a change. Will probably join a corp with other players... as I lack companionship. All of my old friends don't play anymore.

I really need variety and various activities to keep from getting bored. If I get bored again I'll probably unsubscribe. If I get frustrated with the development of the game again I may unsubscribe. Hopefully I am having fun and still feel positive.

1) C4 Wormhole, didn't see hi-sec at all for several months at a time
2) Don't know. I'll see when I get there.

I woke up five months into the game to find that I was the CEO of the corp I was in at the time, the previous CEO had resigned in a fit of temper and the others thought I was a decent compromise.

Mostly, it was great, we were pretty much all new players, trying to understand Eve Online together.

First war dec, we hid in the station, second one, we went out and had a go, as useless as we were, it just seemed better than letting some one else stop us from doing anything.

The part I hated, on a purely personal level, was that a couple of corpies, the ex CEO for example, would want to have private convo's and, well, cry and *****.

I always have great respect for any CEO, it can be very hard work trying to keep corpies happy.

Real life then got on the way for four years, came back to a game I could hardly recognize in many ways, but still here learning the ropes.

Edit - pretty sure I will try to join a pvp corp, just for the hell of it really.

I also intend to try exploration, the reason I started playing Eve in the first place.

I have all exploration skills to V and have never, ever tried exploration in any way shape or form. Daft really.

Six months into Eve, I was in Providence with CVA. Joined them six weeks after starting out in Eve, and spent about a year with them.

defending our POS from 'I.R.O.N' in my scorpion I had to nerve-wrackingly pilot up from http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Aunenen to http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Pure_Blind/X47L-Q by making sure I clicked the correct bookmark (out of 8 or 9) to make sure I landed on the gate @ zero :D

DO NOT MISS Warp to 15 one bit.

With Agony Unleashed (under CEO Rells) in Pure Blind, flying mostly frigates, destroyers and the occasional assault frigate against everyone that wanted to pew pew (IRON was prominent on that list, as well as Paxton, Ultima rati0, Executive Outcomes, G00dfellas and Axiom Empire)

Doing lvl 4s in Amarr space with my Apocalypse no doubt, or perhaps my nightmare if I had gotten it by then.

I was in Stain shooting G Alliance (i think, I was shooting somebody for sure).

I'd just grown out of my carebear days and was starting to look for fights in lowsec. It was about the time I decided to get involved with the great folks at www.minerbumping.com as well.
