Some more serious Mantras:

- don't use the Autopilot
- D-Scan is a very strong tool


some other Mantras (helpful, anyways):

- warp to 10
- don't be greedy

Speaking of the autopilot - something often heard in fleet:

"I said warp to the OUT GATE"

"I did"

"Then why aren't you on the out gate?"

"Autopilot sent me here instead...." cos you know, half the fleet must go down the OTHER fork in the "Y".

Questions involving the word "best" generally have no answer. Questions involving the word "better" may have an answer with enough "it depends" qualifications.

Is X a good ship?
They're all good ships Brent.

The game is based on the presumption that all the things will blow up. Blowing up creates the market for new things. The miner who gets ganked should thank the ganker for creating a market for the ore he mines.

I can see what's happening
And they don't have a clue
A flashing red is here in local chat
And on the overview

The sweet caress of bubbles
There's murder everywhere
The web, the scram, the Blackbird permajam
Disasters in the air!

Can you feeeel the hugs tonight
Your hull is failing fears
You now eject, your pod is targeted
You warp away in tears...

Is a patch coming up? Train a long skill (valid again now that we have Alphas).

When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious ****.

Can't let you do that, Star Fox!

Whoa.

Shitters full!

Idolator! Your soul is required in hell!

Can you blush?

What does God require with a starship?

I am, as before, your right hand... Your sword!

Hey! Listen!

Was it flame? I'll show you how.


And, don't forget...

Don't fly incursions. You'll end up hating the game because of how controlling & boring the Incursion Fleets have become.

It really is the worst of EVE. And untill CCP fix the Insurance system to cover T2 boats properly ( as the new cool is T3 ) you'd do better to just avoid Incursions full-stop. FW is supposedly where the fun ISK is.

HiSec Mantra: If it looks to good to be true. It is.

LowSec Mantra: Never warp direct from gate to gate.

NullSec Mantra: Can i bring my drake?

Wormhole Mantra: Bookmark both sides of the hole. 2x just to be sure.

Forums Mantra: Post with your main or gtfo.

Signatures wer cooler when we couldn't remove them completely.

Keep an empty clone handy.

Fun fact: you can swap clones in citadels without pulling the 24hr timer.
