EVE General Discussion

I disagree. I dont think EVE is a PvP game. Well... for me it is. And maybe for you as well. But that doenst make it a PvP game. A single dude being happy with farming lvl4's all day long means its no longer a PvP game. Cos there's atleast 1 dude PvE-ing.

EVE is a game with a large number of PvP options. Including some that allow interaction with PvE mechanics. The reason some look down on others (for whatever reason) is a problem off the whiner. An inability rather. Not the dude doing whatever he wants to do with his time.

That all being said; you may be right about it not being a bittervet thing. They appear to me to be most afflicted by this inability to play your own EVE instead of some version made up by others.

So find corp where you don't have to register anywhere to access their stuff. I don't know what you expect from this thread, that somebody will came here and make an exception from their procedures just for you or sth?

It is a frakking game not a RL, just make a decision and all you can lose is pixels. I have no idea why people insist so much on making their playtime so horrible and not enjoyable.

The first ting to be clear on is what do you want out of the game, do you have any objectives that will keep you interested, then play as you want regardless of the views of others.

I have the following objectives:

- To be difficult to kill (acheived)
- To frustrate and kill gankbears (largely acheived, last one was more of a loss on my part, oh well...)
- To be able to and to actually fly every sub-cap in the game (almost there)
- To use a dread and survive at least once (have the dread, no suitable target...)
- To get on a Titan kill
- To build up a fleet of ships fully fitted ready to use as needed (Completed)

ISK for me is a means to an end, so I operate to get ISK to meet those goals, cufrrently I am doing level 4's in hisec and will pop to NPC 0.0 when I feel like it to force some campers to waste electricity on 10 characters to camp my two, actually thats Eve in a nutshell, playing eve is best done when playing another game, its what all the bittervets do, I happen to play Eve on my old computer and play just when I feel like it or if there is a clear system, most of the time I am on my super new gaming PC playing something else, after all you might as well do what the bittervets do...

I see no fun in being ordered around and told I must be there when my wife's sleep patterns come first to me, I do not want to work in Eve to pay a rent to enable people to lord it over me.

Which is why I operate in NPC 0.0 and hisec and have the ability to go to various different locations as needed. So play your own game, at times it can be frustrating as the cards are stacked up against you but in the main its a blast, one thing I seriously recommend is get in a T3 and use a WH to get into deep null and just do what you want.

You poor thing. You had to put in a tiny bit of effort to get free ships.

ok check to make sure your flying with a valid fleet commander, write down his name, find his SRP ID (which is not written down anywhere in-game). Make sure you were flying a doctrine ship. Find out there is another authentication thing you have to do, get authenticated. Send off application. Then wait and discover SRP is not paying out due to alliance drama, theft and leadership changes.

Never matter anyway as I never lost anything larger than a destroyer (at least on a alliance fleet), lost some stuff to importune anti-raiding action with isn't covered by SRP

whats your SRP programme?

I make a post on our forums.

I sure wouldn't want to be Vince Draken's pet.

Back to highsec it is.

W-Space is a thousand times better than Null. People always view Null as the "end game" but really it's W-Space. No TiDi, no supercaps, no hotdropping, good community, you only need to PvE a little bit to be rich, and you don't have to worry about AFK cloakers because you just assume there's someone cloaked 5k off you at all times.

I been living in Providence now for two months. With our rules I found it to much much better than ever and it's made it so much easier to enjoy being there. I have goals, I have a set of goals to buy specific Amarr ships. I rat, I mine and all the isk I make is mine to save for these ships, fact is I'm closing in on getting my second Apoc next week at the rate I'm going.

The risk and rewards are much better for me to undock and go do what I do, it's watching local, book mark safe spots if need be, it's keeping a sharp eye out for anything that comes in a system or two, it requires dillegence to be on guard at all times.

My corpmates have gone out of their way to help and advise about ship fittings and such. Running combat sites which pays out huge dividends has really made it so much easier and meeting my goals are easily reached.

My friend, this what I experience and take some of the sincere advice you are given, do what you want to do, see what direction you want to go in. Nulsec is really much safer than hisec I can tell you that personally from the experience I gained. I wouldn't trade it for nothing.

Best of luck in your future.
