EVE New Citizens Q&A

woops

I would never announce it in-game! so i hope that helps, and i'm always in high-sec so I don't think i have to worry right?
i'm just mining plagioclase anyway..

I'm only mining in the tremendous amounts of time its going to take to use my brutix armor tanking build just to do level 3 MAYBE 4 missions if its possible?

thats the only route i see right now, where is the huge amount of isk people talk about in the game you know, i dont really have a goal, whatever makes me rich would be fun, so quickest way to that would be great.

and yeah i did the EVE arc and picked gallente for it etc.

Catalyst soon coming to a system near you.

You don't. *evil grin*
You can report it (the flag button to the right of the date in the message header) and ask the mod to lock it, but that's it.

One of the principles of EVE: Actions have consequences

My advice about not mining isn't because of the ganking (I still mine from time to time), it's because it can be incredibly boring and if you don't enjoy some process of watching a ship chew through asteroids it's likely to make you want to (or actually do) quit the game.

There's a large diagram showing piles of options on what to do in EVE. Find something you enjoy and ISK will follow from there. It's a game, it's meant to be fun, not a boring grind.

There is such a thing as locator agents. I have also forwarded this thread to a fellow CODE. agent and you should have received a mail from him by now.

Good day.

salvaging missions that's what I see so far around 40~90 million in the period of two hours

find a good group of people are okay with you salvaging their crap

Lesson learned OP: this forum is a very vital part of the game.

Since I don't know what your original post was, I'll just throw out some general tips that seem related based on the responses so far:

- Eve is a PvP game first and foremost. It is a universe full of people who want nothing more than to watch you explode and they all know what they're doing better than you do. And these bloodthirsty SOB's will use every bit of intel they can find in pursuit of said explosion. There are a lot of tools, both in game and out, that will help them find you and blow you up. And there is no "safe" place in the game except docked up in a station. A major feature of Eve is that anyone, any time, anywhere, for any reason can kill you. It's just a matter of how.

- Having said all that, explosions are ok! Again, this is a PvP game at it's core, so you're going to have to be ok with the idea of someone interrupting you while you mind your own business and giving you a big ole hug filled with ammunition. Don't take it personally. Losing a ship can be a set back, sure, especially when your just starting out. But being able to laugh it off, dust yourself off, and rebuild from your losses is a key part of enjoying this game.

- About that "intel" thing: Everything you do related to Eve can and probably is being watched by someone else. Your market activity in game, posting on the forums, your killboard, etc. These are all things that raise your public profile in Eve and make it more likely that someone will notice you and try to kill you. Does that mean you should avoid all social interaction and be a hermit just spinning your ship in station? Of course not! Just be aware, information is valuable and only you can control what information is out there.

- As to the original question in the thread title, mining is not very good isk per hour. It is relatively EASY isk per hour, and the skill and time investments are very low, and mining in high sec is relatively low risk (providing you aren't AFK and know when to bail out). However, the same "low skill" benefit can be found in things like exploration and ratting in lowsec, but those will come with a considerable jump in risk. Alternatively, running missions can eventually start to pay out very well once you reach higher end missions, but the time investment of grinding up to those can seem daunting. There are numerous other ways of making ISK, each with it's own levels of risk and challenge. The key is to find ways to make isk that you either enjoy or otherwise fit in to your overall playstyle. Once you've gotten that out of the way, the money will come.

Good luck out there, fly safe (or reckless!), have fun, and remember that it's all just internet space pixels. Cheers!

RE: OP topic


at this point I would probably go with the 'endear yourself to those who blow you up and have them shower you in newbie isk for being a fun target' strategy.
