EVE New Citizens Q&A

There should be another in your redeem menu. alt-y. Eve is based on meaningful loss, so nothing is replaced. This includes implants you might have on your clone if you get podded as well as your ship blown up. You can insure, if you expect to be in a dangerous situation. But this becomes less useful the more expensive your ships are, and mod cost is not included. Also, you can buy on the market under ships.

Nothing wrong with going into LS as a newbie, just be ready to replace your ship first, before you make the jump. Practice your techniques in HS first then move to LS.

Once you go into LS, you need to learn to use your D-scan and pre-align techniques. Reaction speed is key so practice until the technique becomes second nature. I also recommend making insta-undocks and gate perches if you intend to fly in that area for any period of time.

Surprisingly, I've been searching for a bit and can't find a guide with all this in one place. Sorta, a pvp guide for the pve player. There has to be one, I'm just not finding it right now. My google fu is weak.

Okay so... here are the basics:

Look on the upper left of your screen, next the system name. There is a number there.
That number is the security rating of the system.

System security can generally be broken down into 3 parts:
- 1.0 to 0.5 systems: Also called "High security," acts of uninitiated violence will result in the aggressors ship being nuked by the NPC police.
------ Note that the NPC police will not attempt to save you in any way, shape, or form. They are there strictly to punish the offender. This means you ship can potentially be destroyed before the NPCs arrive.
--------- The NPC police will not attack an aggressor if...
---------------- the hostile is part of a corporation that is at war with your corporation.
---------------- the hostile has challenged you to a duel and you accepted.
---------------- you have ignorantly or willingly aggressed someone who appears as a valid target to you.

- 0.4 to 0.1 systems: Also called "Low security," there are no NPC police that will attack any aggressor.
------- There are some token sentry guns on the stations and stargates that will melt most (solo) Frigate and Destroyer class vessels, but they will only respond when an act of violence has been initiated in front of them.
Otherwise, you are free to shoot anyone and everyone in Low-sec with impunity.

- 0.0 to -1.0 systems: Also called "Null security," there are no rules or restrictions. Your only source of "protection" comes from you and/or any allies you have with you.


I also took the liberty of looking at your killboard (simply type your character's name in the search box at this website: https://zkillboard.com/ ).

You were killed by someone in a Tech 2 (see: "very specialized") Cruiser.

Do not let it get you down. Someone flying around in a ship like that most likely has a lot of experience hunting down and nuking players far more experienced that you.
There are some tricks and tactics you can use to avoid such a situation in the future... but it takes time and experience.



Nope. Every ship loss is permanent.

It is better to see your ship as "tool" rather than something that is "permanent"... much in the same way a Warrior would trade an axe for a lance if the situation called for it.

To use myself as an example: I usually have 2 or 3 of the same kind of ship, each fitted with slightly different modules so that they can perform differently depending on a situation.

If they blow up, I simply buy another ship of the same kind and fit it out.



Go to a local trading hub (either the systems of Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Hek, or Rens) and use the market window to buy a new ship (found on the left side of the screen).

Iria... a Lachesis can't use a Covert-Ops cloak. You are thinking of the Arazu.

However, the Lachesis is immune to D-Scan, so what you are saying doesn't really change.

He was doing the industry career agent missions, which should not be declined as they're a once-off (and they don't send people into lowsec)

I was doing 10 of 10 Industry Making Mountains out of MO hills Which Required me to get ores Nocixum and Zydrine.

Which are in Jaspet and hermorphite asteroids. and they seem to be only in LS 04 or lower unless you know a safer place to get please tell me.

I did buy a new Venture

And Thank you all for the help

Hey !

Have Fun

For that mission, I mined the Scordite and veldspar and just bought the rest off the market. By that time my alpha had enough isk to buy it no problem.

Always think of time/isk, never feel like you're being forced to go somewhere to mine something.

The game will not refund your lost ship. Losses in this game are real for a reason, and that is to ensure that you properly account for risk, and provide real consequences for your actions.

Fortunately, the Venture is very cheap and it is easy enough to buy a new one. Also, lowsec is one of the best places to operate a Venture. The higher value of the ores will compensate for your small yields, and the Venture has the agility and capability to successfully evade most threats.

Operating a Venture in lowsec requires a decent amount of skill, and some good guidance on fittings. You should have two mining lasers on the ship as standard... If you can fit Miner II then do so. Then you will need to fit defensive modules, either to increase your shield strength and regen, or to help you escape warp scramble attacks - or some form of target lock breaking like an ECM or ECM Burst. There are many variations and a lot of them can achieve good success. But it's time to put away the civilian modules. They will do you no good.

Operating a Venture in lowsec and wormholes relies on you being fast, and not getting caught. Because, if you get caught, you're dead. Don't bother with weapons - and don't stand your ground and expect to win.

Thank you for the Ship and Eqips

That's some good, emergent game play right there.

Grab another ship and go right back out and do it again. Just take a moment to learn some lessons from each loss and pretty quickly you will stop losing ships so often. You'll still lose them- that is the cost of doing business- but you will balance loss and profit in no time.

Also- realize what makes you vulnerable and you can turn the tables and be a hunter yourself. I promise the guy shooting you was having more fun than mining.

Even if you keep mining, the point of a Venture isn't to never be attacked, it's to be able to escape certain doom.
