EVE General Discussion

My advice, do all the agent missions and read my signature if you plan to do mining in LoSec.

I have been in Eve for five months. So far I have been getting myself trained up, got a plan going, and chatting with different corps getting insight on what is going on.

What I would consider the two most important things to not get popped in highsec are:

-Never autopilot your ship while going afk.

(( I got popped once doing this in an industrial ship. Pretty much, the fellow who killed me was looking specifically to suicide gank autopilot ships. I've read about these things happening many times but chose to ignore it. ))

-Never take direct routes to major trade stations.

(( The more populated an area, the greater the number of traders, therefore, gankers there will be. I flew from a jumpgate directly to Jita and waiting for me were a small fleet of ships right at the point where I decelerated. For the major trade hubs in Dodixie, Rens, Amarr, Jita and Hek, warp to a moon or planet, then dock to the station. Or, warp at range of 100 km or so to scope out the station. ))

Im one of those highsec guys that lives in lowsec when I feel like doing it.

Weather or not the game gets better in null is up for debate. But since you are new (again) dont worry about that.

As for skills, when you are at a point that you dont NEED to train something specific at the time. Focus on the Engineering and Electronics based skills. Train Weapons upgrades up a bit. Then train up your factions weapons and tank, then when thats usable think about some navigation skills. You can swap around weapons, tank, electronics, and engineering skills as you need in order of importance at the time. As for the level to train them, you should always train to at least 3 if you can then 4 not that long after.

Since you are basically stuck in my world for now minus the lowsec PVP that sometimes finds its way much deeper then that. Sometimes we wander to places people dont like lol, and Ive been playing for a while I do have some advice.

If you start getting bored make a point to learn something. Ive been playing since 2009 and have 3 accounts. There is still a lot of stuff I dont know but I do know what I need to pretty damn well. I can PVP with older players I know.

Eve is complex, find what you like and just delv into it. No matter how old you get remember how awesome the game felt when you where new and the excitement and reward you feel when you finally either understand or accomplish something.

For me just turning the game music back on makes the game feel new again.

You will have to find some friends to learn from, but if you are fortunate to find to good people early on that are both good people and know the game, you can form a meaningful relationship with some people that spans far beyond EVE.

Just remember there is always something you either suck at, need to work on, or should get back too, it does not matter how old you are. EVE is the king of long term reward. This will probably always be my favorite game. Not just because of how good it is, but I'm one of the few people that understands what it really is about and can always find something worth my time to do. I am at a point where I almost need to be in a major nullsec alliance to really benifate, but I still make the game more then fun for myself by being creative with what I am doing and just loving the game.

If you get bored, learn about something else.... always be learning and testing your boundaries, this is one of the only games that you can basically do that forever and it is what will keep you here.

Also make sure to "HTFU" and dont automatically trust anyone and be happy about the fact that you are playing a game where you have to look at everyone as if they are psychopath thief lol.

welcome , find a good corp with ts and leave high sec as soon as possible

The server simulation runs on 1Hz, whenever you take an action it will have to wait for up to one second to be processed in the next server tick. This means that twitch-based combat/dogfighting is impossible in EVE.

Removed some posts advertising/discussing RMT.

The delay you are experiencing in the Radial Menu is most likely because the default Radial Menu Delay setting has its value set higher than zero. To fix this... hit Esc and look through the Menu tabs - it's in there somewhere, promise - put the slider all the way to the left.

I only get that kind of lag when my internet connection is not working right. You might try speedtest.net to check your ISP/wireless throughput.

Eve does a great job of running on less powerful computers.
