EVE New Citizens Q&A

You're welcome; we like to help in this forum. Good luck.

This is a bad idea.

Eve is a true MMO in that it is intended to be played with others. The devs default is to encourage group efforts over solo.

Further this game is famous for it's learning cliff. Most if not all of us here helping you had other's helping us as we came up and understand how important having people that you can ask questions of is.

We have no issues helping you because most of us are busy trying to repay the help other's gave us by paying it forward.

At a minimum you will probably want a covops cloak for running around null sec doing exploration. It will help in low sec too as you ferry out your hard-earned items. Glad to see you're having a good time!

Don't rush into nullsec or a player corp, take your time to develop an EvE "personality", basically means knowing what you like and what not, you are doing fine.

i want to point out here the astero only needs galente and amarr frig to three and the prereqs for the covops cloak,
you can be warping cloaked with this ship in or around a week with it.

granted it costs a lot more, near enough 80-90 mill

I got killed and podded for the first time on Saturday :(

had 10mill in my cargo as well :( (A lot for a newb like me)

Was my own fault annnnnnnnnnd i even learned from it, so not all bad.

Was flying around low sec zones doing exploration. I noticed that someone with a shifty name and weird bio kept following me, but I thought nothing of it. I then went to a zone where I was the only one there, scanned down a relic site and went about my business. I hold my hands up now that I didn't D-Scan nor did I pay attention to my UI whilst I was hacking. Someone warped in with a Astero and targeted me. I managed to start warping, but because I didn't notice right away when they arrived, they managed to scramble me.

I did learn from this though - let me explain (was quite proud of myself lol)

On Sunday I was going from zone to zone in the same area and noticed this same guy following me again. I even tested him and double backed on my self and he still followed. I found a relic site again and went about hacking as you do. This time I kept clicking D-Scan every few moves and and had my P&P open ready to click for my safe zone. I noticed sisters of Eve probes bunched up within 5 AU of me. I stopped hacking straight away and waited. Low and behold the same guy who killed me showed up and I bolted straight away.

I later found out after reading the two player bios that they were from the same corp. He tried a few more times in different zones to grab me, but I have now learned how to spot when I'm being scanned down from the advice form you guys (thanks again!) and managed to evade him each time.

Just thought Id share my progress in eve in case anyone was interested :)

Not really

For me it is mainly because I started playing alone and it took me about 1 year to finally find people that were helpful in answering a lot of questions and giving me guidance in EVE on a regular basis.

And only after that I found out about the forums due to some GD threads and then I saw this place (or to be honest the old setup where we had the NCQA and TAQA).

Been here ever since

So good to help new players get their feet into EVE and see them succesful later on. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, at which point I undock and kill them till the feeling goes away as it is a weird feeling for an EVE player

Just got a funny look in the office for laughing out loud at this

You're welcome, and good luck!
