As an EVE noob I am constanly learning...the hard way.

What Ive found though is that every loss is a learning expereince. I enjoy hauling and mission running. When it comes to low sec, Warp Core Stabs have been my best freinds as I am only really interested in getting away and not fighting. They have their limitations though. For example, if you are overpowered by a mob of warp scrambers, you may as well hang it up.

But recently I was popped by some guy in low-sec with a single scrambler. All I could do was just sit there and watch him eat away at my shileds....waiting for the inevitable....wondering how he was doing it.

Afterward I contacted him and asked how he was able to scramble me with just 1 scrambler versus my 4 warp core stabilzers?

ME:> Hey dude. how did you scramble me with just one scrambler?

HIM> I was in heavy interdictor with scripted point. Its only ship which can tackle titans or super carriers in lowsec. No matter how many WCS you fit

ME> Ah cool. thanks, I didnt know

HIM> fly safe

That one expereince taught me tons. So my atttitude towards EVE is that every loss teaches you something new as I continue to progress in the game....one black eye at a time. Blink


I've got nothing to add to this, as you seem to know everything you need to know for now to make your own experience in this game a great one. Welcome to EVE.

Wait till you lose a 2B ISK Tengu or 1B ISK in implants... It will teach you many things, such as where to find great prices on new keyboards and drywall.

commending the OP for a willingness to learn and an inquisitive mind.

Azual Skoll @ The Altruist made a comment in one of his articles that basically said the difference between fun and feeling helpless is whether something can be learned from an encounter.


players will make claims of things being unfair, when simple reality is the outcome of an encounter was decided before it began. so if you ever find yourself with that 'wtf i got rolled' feeling, remember that some situations should be avoided altogether, and recon and intel are good things.

The problem is that to get smart you have to realise you're not that smart in the first place and then be willing to put in the effort to change, most people aren't capable of that. Those generally end up grinding and/or in large blobs. The few exceptions end up doing interesting stuff or leading those large blobs.

Don't be cattle.

I lost several shuttles with skill books to gate camps in lo-sec when I first started. Had no clue what was going on until months later.

Yea I get what you're saying.

I've taken to running defensive FW plexes with absolutely nothing fitted onto my ship other than maybe a warp core stabilizer.

So that way, if someone shows up to kill me and does so, they get less than if I were equipped with fittings!

it's brilliant and I absolutely love when I think about how a person checks to see what they o so valiantly earned killing a 3 week old player only to realize they got next to nothing, even less than what they expected to be possible.

totally awesome.
