EVE General Discussion

The point is that it's dumb to expose yourself at all.

I just don't see why people choose to spend their free time playing a game that is (according to them) filled with people they don't like, lacking 'content' that they desire, and that has a chance to make them physically ill under the right circumstances. Then again I also don't see how some dudes get some kind of thrill out of being chained up and whipped by some chick wearing leather either lol.



There is an alternative. Don't play video games. No one is forcing anyone to log in, CCP doesn't have a special forces unit that parachutes down to your home and makes you eat fermented shark till you give in and play lol.

That's the same rationale I had when I wasted several years of my life play Mechwarrior:Vengeance despite the fact that I hated because "there are no other mech games". When i quit i went almost a year without playing PC games and (surpizingly to me) I felt much better day to day because i wasn't constantly pissed off about how badly FASA Interactive/Microsoft had screw up my favorite IP.

Since then I have resolved to only play video games i actually like. If some of y'all wanna torture yourselves, well, to each his own.

As far as EVE not being a pvp game, who cares. 'Carebears' are the only ones who get caught up on the whole pvp vs pve aspect. All people like me are saying is that, if you HATE people trying to pvp you, well, even has non-consensual pvp, so tough nuts if you don't like it.

Not talking about you lol. There is nothing wrong with what you posted and people have given you good advice. Peronally i do incursions, missions and exploration so there is plenty to do.

My comments are regarding the de-rail a poster started making lame excuses for why some people don't pvp (when there needs to be no excuse, if you don't like pvp, don't pvp, as long as you understand that you can be PVP'd at any time though).

Evemailed you in game. I can help get you started with exploration. But I will say one thing. If you're up for it, bearing in lowsec and null can be quite rewarding. Sometimes you can enjoy "pvp" just in the sense of successfully doing your bearing in a hostile area and avoiding getting caught. Before I become a "real" pvper, most of my income involved ninja salvaging while getting shot at by mission runners, or running around low trying to hack and salvage sites while avoiding camps and gankers.

Since I didn't really train any combat skills for the first 3 or so months in Eve, I had to win by pure evasion and speedtanking. I remember when I was first ninjaing how I couldn't refit into a bigger ship, so I just kept ninjaing while they shot at me, and learned to speedtank while I salvaged. And in lowsec I got very good at reading the map to spot gatecamps, and learned to d-scan very well.

Anyways, I would say that carebearing in hostile space is a form of pvp. If you can learn to succeed, it can be quite lucrative.

What are your hacking and archaeology skills at again? and dont use wormhole chains to reach null. You want to plan a nice route to reach it without needing to go through a camp. That amount of isk is really bad. You should be pulling like 50-60 mil an hour without too much trouble if your skills are decent.

Also, what is wrong with using wormhole chains? With no logistics, and no experience in escaping or dealing with gate camps and such, I found wormhole exploration fairly easy. Almost all of them are empty, and no one knows you are there unless they see you or your probes.

I spent an hour in Wicked Creek, and found exactly zero data/relic sites in the 6 systems I went to. Plenty of combat, though. I am almost tempted to go back, fit a Stratios, and try plexing...

If I wanted to gamble, I would use Blink some more. ;)
