EVE New Citizens Q&A

Had a trading alt in the past, even carried stuff around in industrials and spent some time running those missions for rep. Even had a freighter.



This time what I'm trying to achieve is just a combat focused character that doesn't rely on alts, or just running missions.

I kind of wish there was a pirate faction in FW.

many of us do....

But why do you feel you need to make isk on frigs? It's more fun blowing frigs up! :)

Exploration might be interesting as I haven't done much of that.

Still interested in piracy and have my eye on CURSE but presently still not sure how I'm going to make that work.

I don't get this.

Unless you really love flying blingy ships, or you die at a phenomenal pace, common T2 fit, T1 ships have an after-insurance replacement cost low enough that you should be able to accidentally earn enough money to keep yourself in ships forever.

It's a bit more if you get into T2 and T3, though still nothing exorbitant.

I've been through low sec before, so I kind of know at least what that used to be like. Although I have been in null, never really saw action there, must have been a quite time. So I do wonder about bubbles as I've not had to deal with them.

But I have 4 JCs so I could get to CURSE and being an NPC region I'll be able to dock. Problem I see is that they will effectively be all hostile at least to start with, so don't see a way of making a profit only a loss. Although if they have a medical facility I could place a JC there and jump back to high-sec when needed.

As for over thinking, yes I can do that sometimes.

You always get more out of insurance that you put in, so at its core, insurance is ALWAYS worth it if you know you're about to get blown up.


To add some other things. Relic and Data sites were mentioned, but lower tier combat sites are definitely doable in frigates too.

Also, if most of your skills are for frigates, then you're also mostly skilled up for destroyer. Destroyers, especially t3 can do harder combat sites than frigates can, and are good at pvp too.

I hear playing the game helps

Well I've played the game many times, got 9 accounts although 8 are now dead.

This poster has made several posts in the past that I consider to be troll like. I am assuming this is likely a troll post as well but I'll bite on the troll bait.



Of all the skills in this game there are only 4 racial frigate skills. If you want to add in the T2 versions of those then that is 6 more skills. We have really only 3 small weapons system skills that are specific to small ships, those are the 3 small turret skills. Again if you want to add in the T2 versions that is 6 more. So that is 19 skills that can only be used with small ships.

The other 109 skills are not specific to small ships and will be just as useful when flying medium, large and capital sized ships. If you have 24.4 Million skill points I would say that, even if you had no large ship skills currently, you could probably fly any battleship in game fairly decently in a week maybe less if you wanted. It would probably only have the weapons that were not T2.

So your argument about only being able to fly frigates seems silly to me.


This is an MMO. It is an MMO who's stated focus is group PvP. You are supposed to make friends in MMOs and do things with or against other people. If you do not want to interact with other players may I suggest some of the many single player games available.

If you are having trouble making decent isk solo I'm sure the devs are very happy to hear that as they have said repeatedly that they wish to encourage group efforts over solo and make fleet actions more profitable than solo whenever possible.

I'm sure that there are a million ways to make isk in a frigate but one thing that jumps to the front of my mind is FW. I've seen plenty of videos from people showing how to make good isk solo in FW. However I will suggest that it is probably much more fun to do it with friends. Oh and by the way I'm pretty sure that you can join an NPC FW corp so your dreams of being a solo NPC corp pilot in a frigate might come true yet.

If you want to troll in the future may I suggest you pick something that we can't poke enough holes in to make it look like swiss cheese.

Considering he just injected ~9m skillpoints (costing ~11.5 bil!) and is now whining about the cost of flying t1 frigs....yeah.

Not to mention his history of posting awful/discouraging advice to other new players without bothering to actually play the game before forming half-baked opinions and running his mouth.

If I'm not being clear: OP, I do not like you. You won't ever get help from me here (or, I imagine, most of the NCQA crew). We do not appreciate trolling in this forum.
