EVE General Discussion

Find a good corp in a good alliance and join them. In 0.0 you know who your enemies are and if you keep an eye on local you will know if you run the risk of getting ganked or not. In Highsec anybody can gank you at any time for any reason with no warnint at all. Best of luck to ya!

Buy about 50 Gtc from CCP . Go to trade chanel. Sell them for isk. Go to character bazar buy 3-4 years old specialized pvp character for 8-15 bilions....thats the easiest way .....

i got enaugh of this 0.0 @#@#@ Moving to high sec!!!

The only way to play eve in all its terrible beauty is to head to 0.0

Best idea is to join small active corp /alliance in NPC 0.0 learn the basics in cheap ships without being to worried about difficult to access space and losing the station you are in, plus you can complete pirate missions if plexs / mining isn't your thing. This is a time when you depend on your buddies in corp to help you and when they need you to help them the most and it is a great fun experience.

Eventually once you get better at eve and have say 1000kills and no ******** losses you can join a larger main PVP alliance.

Just never join a 'pet alliance' you will likely die allot and lose your kit at the outpost when you get curb stomped

In the end 0.0 isn't highly profitable, safety depends of friends and knowing what you are doing. 0.0 is more fun and all player content where the only rule is to be the hunter not the hunted. It is then fun and friend / enemies you make that keeps you hooked active and making isk from the scattered wrecks of your enemy.

100% disagree. The total isk profit I bring in every month has been reduced greatly since I returned to level 4s in highsec. Even losing ships, the rare few I lost (/carebear in nullsec), didn't overpower the isk I brought in.

Beyond this, Null Sec opens the opportunity for means of ISK generation beyond "shoot red crosses all day," which are orders of magnitude more profitable and do not exist in High Security space.

Smells like a troll, but i'm bored so i'll bite:



Caveat: I've been out of nullsec for a few months now after living there for four years. I now occupy a C5 wormhole with fellow ex-null corpmates. I don't consider myself bitter or really against the sov game, but I found w-space to be more of a challenge with goals more attainable by a small tight-knit group.

About getting into nullsec, there is the easy way and the hard way.
-Easy way: Join a mid to large sized sov. alliance corp, allow them to dictate what you fly, what you train, and when you log in to do what. They'll essentially tell you what to do at every turn, but if you're completely hapless this isn't always a bad thing. They develope you into a cohesive member of the fleet and ultimately you get to see plenty of action on the cheap as most will give away tackle frigs and reimburse anything up to a bs (so long as it meets alliance criteria).

-Hard way: Go solo or join a small group in npc nullsec. You won't have many of the rigid requirements found in an alliance (although some small gang corps also have a tight ship doctorine), but you won't have the support either. You will learn to be more self-sufficient in a harsh environment and probably fight more battles; however these battles will be repeatedly pitched against much larger opponents. A more independant person would probably prefer this over the former option, but it certianly requires more patience. I went by this method when I started out and spent my first two weeks hellcamped into my chosen npc station (by a corp I later joined, heh).

Casual schedule isn't a problem in bigger corps. The only predicament i've run into when short for time was finding a moment to make isk. I would usually log in, go roaming, and log off when the roam ended for weeks on end. Eventually my losses took their toll and I would have to spend a week on hiatus making isk (much to my FCs chagrin). Later on when I joined a corp with a good reimbursement program this changed. I actually made a small ammount of isk for every ship I lost (after insurance) so I could simply live to pvp.

Of course, living to fight someone else's battles for years takes its toll (as does flying for the most part in larger fleets), but that is another story for another thread.

Unless you are in an alliance that does fleet reimbursements, in which case your ships are literally free beyond the first.

If you don't roam, then the cost of time and ships is minimal. You MIGHT lose 2 ships every 6 months if you are just a carebear in 0.0 space, and that's if you afk outside your POS.

In new player terms- there is plenty of money to be made in 0.0 and you have to really try to get killed in your own space.

safer only if youre aliance own the space

yes

mhh depends

you need somme min skills to fly cane (focus one ship at time) if you can fly maxed ca,e is good start.

Many ppl look for members read the recrutement forum.

If you want to play casual, avoid corporations that participate a lot in sovereignty. They often require you to log in at a certain time to defend and take sovereignty.

Believe it or not, corporations LOVE to take in newer players. They like to mold new comers to PVP to how they would see fit.

Unless you have a poor reputation in EVE or leave a bad impression in an application or interview then you should be able to get into most PVP corps. PVP corps are pretty straight forward about what they want. If you are willing to obey orders and fire weapons most corps should accept you, few would turn down having an extra gun on the battlefield.

Skills that aren't even PVP related would be useful in a Null- Sec corp. No self respecting null-sec corp would turn down anyone willing to haul various items to staging points, scanning skills will be a great help for recon/patrol, and the corps that plan on building their own stuff would need to have pilots who have good manufacturing skills.

Basically, anything you can do can contribute to a null-sec corp will get you in a nullsec corp. I like to think of null-sec corps as miniature (or in the case of some corps, not so miniature) nations in EVE.
