EVE New Citizens Q&A

Tackling = keep someone from warping away (warp disruptor or warp scrambler). Slowing ships via a webifier can also be part of tackling.

Frigates are great at tackling, because they are small and fast. They are also cheap, which is useful as the tackler is often a priority target ("primary").

Another tackling tactic is to repeatedly bump a ship to prevent it from aligning.

Ships that specialize in tackling:

Interceptors ("ceptors", tech 2 frigates) which are very small and extremely fast. They can be virtually impossible for larger ships to hit, and are only susceptible to fast Minmatar Warrior II drones.

Interdictors ("DICs" or "dictors", tech 2 destroyers) can launch warp disrupt probes in nulsec creating a temporary "bubble" 40 km in diameter which warping is inhibited in. They are considered disposable ships in this role. These ships are also great for doing low level missions in, as they are much improved over tech 1 destroyers.

Heavy Interdictors ("HICs", tech 2 cruisers) can fit a warp disruption field generator which can make either a bubble in nulsec, or a focused infinite point warp disruptor that can stop anything and be used anywhere. When using the generator, the HIC cannot receive outside assistance (remote repairing or energy transfer) nor move very fast, so these ships have a lot of tanking capability, but very little offensive.

There are also ships with a bonus to warp disruptors like the Arazu Gallente Force Recon, or webbing like the Rapier Minmatar Force Recon.


Mobile warp disruptors are portable "bubble" generating structures that can be anchored in nulsec. The largest can make a bubble that is 80 km in diameter. They will remain in space until unanchored by the owner or destroyed.


FW = Faction Wars. Perpetual war between empires.

Quoting this for great wisdom.

I'm a new player, but I can tell you what is the key to quick learning and understanding the game: reading. Yes, reading. Read in-game messages and descriptions, discussions on local (you don't have to participate), forum posts (not only answers to your questions), guides, articles etc. The knowledge will flow, try to remember it, use it (don't be affraid to experiment) and perfect it. Take notes when possible. Don't be affraid of numbers. EVE has lots of them and it can be overwhelming at first, but you will be surprised how quickly you get used to it.

You can ask questions, but always try to resolve the problem on your own first. This game in many cases requires you to be self-dependant and independence in learning is a good start.

And one more General Rule of EVE User Interface: if you don't know how to do something, it usually means you have to press Shift key and try again.

People always think they need somebody to hold their hand though eve and tell them what to do or where to go. You need to stop thinking that way. EVE is a game that you do what you want to do. If you want to be bad be bad, if you want to be good be good. Eve is a sandbox. Pick a profession and do it. Look into the skills needed for it. You can do it all, it would just take a long time. lol Try a little bit of everything and see what you like the best.

I Trade to make isk and pirate in different ways in pvp however I want. There are no rules in eve. You can even make a lot of isk by taking from the rich by poping haulers in highsec that have a lot of good stuff in them. http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12431357

You can do or be whatever you want. Imagination is really your only limit I will not name them all only the less obvious.

Scam artist it makes good isk.
Pirate for ransoms.
Smuggle contriband to other parts of space to sell.
Trade fraud.
Not sure if insurance fraud is still possible because insurance was nerfed.
Suicide ganking
Stealing
Betrayal
Ship hijacking involves tricking the victim to eject from their ship in combat and then pod them and take their ship. Sometimes people in T3's will jump ship to save SP. If your friends stop just in time they can hyjack the Tech 3 ship and make hundreds of millions or billions on the ship. Me and my mates have done this several times in worm hole space. lol Also the ship stealing and stuff stealing by taking over a worm hole system and laying siege on their personal stations.

There are a lot of other professions people have made up and work in the game. Be creative and you might make something new.

The obvious professions are found through the training missions and such. Very hard to miss.
