EVE General Discussion

It's similar to this dev thread in Ideas and Suggestions, but much much smaller.

Jetisson a can with 1 piece of ammo at each wormhole you pass through, and rename the can with your name. It makes the wormhole last longer than the normal 24 hours, and also helps you return to the wormhole because you can set up the overview to show containers, so you can just warp to the containers/wormholes from the overview.

Always say Hello in the local channel after passing through a wormhole; greeting the local residents is the polite thing to do.

When joining a fleet, when the fleet commander asks people to "x up", use n instead of x if you're a newbie, so that he's aware that you may need help. X is for experts, n is for newbies.

We're all rich from having played for 10+ years, so people don't mind giving out the odd 100 million - 1 billion to newbies to get them started; it's just chump change to us. Just say you're a newbie and ask in local, and you'll have a much easier time buying all the skills you need with the money.

You'll want to buy SKINs for your ships as soon as possible. CCP has brightened all the nebulas to make ships much easier to see and hit with weapons, so you want to get all the SKINs that have the dark colors, such as the blacks and the browns, to reduce incoming DPS.

Except, SKINs don't matter if you're doing Incursions. The greenish tint you see in the solar systems where an Incursion is happening indicates the night vision capabilities that are given to all the ships in the area, so your guns will hit very well regardless of how dark the SKIN is.

[something something how to break the node but I realised how stupid it is to post that]

...

Always post about exploits on the forums and whenever you
find a way to break the node do not hesitate to spread the message.

It helps CCP decide which nodes need to be rebooted.

If you're getting shot at by pirates, open a convo window and ask for "parlay." Make sure to use the word parlay, as the pirates are only shooting you because they're roleplaying, and they'll get pissed off if you break immersion (also, make sure you spell parlay properly, as roleplayers are typically grammar nazis and will interrupt you with corrections).

If you request parlay, the pirates are honor-bound to stop shooting and grant you a convo, so take the time to think of a good roleplay background for your character and type it out as the first thing you say in the convo window, so they know you're going to roleplay with them. Make sure it's at least 3 paragraphs, and includes the status of your parents, whatever childhood disaster you experienced, and the lessons you learned from it that are applicable to the current piracy situation you found yourself in.

EDIT: Just to stress how critical proper spelling is, the correct spelling of parlay is parley. Did you notice? If you did not, write it down.

"Just use autopilot." Followed by "you don't need to spam D-scan"

Yell at the people who exploded you in local.
Cry at the people who exploded you in an evemail.
Make an angry thread in GD about the mean people who exploded you.

The responses will immediately take away the pain and comfort you!

They should release more expansions like Mosaic with all those gorgeous features and design decisions.

Do listen all those good advises @ Rookie Help channel and follow them with 100% accuracy, do exactly what others advises you to do in any aspect of the game.

Fly an AFK if you would like to haul something, always! No matter what system or constellatation/region you flying at.

Fly facfion ships with faction fit into lowsec, that would grant you an extra protection in case of unpredicted engagement.

The more purple you have fitted, the harder you are to kill.

There are such people?
