EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hi folks,

I've been looking at my items hanger for some time and can't help muttering at the pile of junk accumulating. I've been missioning abit and exploring a lot, and I've started to have some fitting habbits and ship preferences, so I got rid of all other ships and sold/abandonned part of my items already, but I still feel a tedious embarrassment keeping too much modules "in case I get a use of them some day", although I make a point in keeping any ammunitions I happen to find, but the remaining modules just keep distracting me in some way.

When I log on, I usually go for some exploration, yields better ISK than rats or lvl1 missions, even in the "farmed-to-the-bone-and-more" highsec space. So I'm getting more and more inclined into heading to low/null/wh space instead, because I'm still getting annoyed of clearing up others' littering. But the thought of making each travel, from one system to another, twice or more to carry around different fitted ships kinda feels like a PITA.

I keep returning to the good ol' Deepari II where I ran my tutorials not long ago, but as I venture further in Imperial space, it's getting more and more tedious to jump back all the time and I feel more like a nomad than a settler as I usually dock to empty my cargo hold and don't want to end up with an arm-long assets list spreaded across New Eden. Travelling through systems just to fetch something is probably one of the most boring thing to do, with mining... speaking of which... sleepers aside, is there other sites than grav and ladar in w-space? so far, it's all I ever found, with the exception of nosey and hostile locals.

I know there's no one-only answer to that, but if you guys have some suggestions, ideas, experiences, I might find bits to piece together, perhaps others are roaming New Eden without a real home and have hints, I can only fly up to cruisers for now, so there's no jack of all trades so to speak.

If I could have only one ship to get along, I'd be more than happy, alas, it's still the dock and fit old story, replacing the probe launcher with a salvager or a turret and fitting an analyzer or codebreaker once a site is cleared of hostiles, would be soooo convenient if possible in space... but since I don't want to stick to ratting and missioning while I train for higher ships classes, I try to find the most convenient organization.

Anyway, if you got tips and tricks, experiences, stories, whatever, to share on the topic, please shoot, any bit of information can be the seed of a new idea.

Orca-alt.

It let's you put stuff in it's hold and then use the fitting service it provides to reship in space.
And you will be mobile and a good fitted Orca can be quite large in cargohold size.

On personal note, my assets list is currently 30 stations long with this character and I don't mind as the most used stuff is centralized to 4 stations, all the other stuff is "junk" that I just have to pick up or sell at some point.

You can use Station Containers to sort your stuff or buy some of the cheaper smaller ones for small items.


You can also travel in an industrial, with your combat ship repackaged inside it (if you don't have any rigs). Then use the industrial to store you junk items until you are ready to move them.

You can reprocess items into minerals and sell them. T1 and the lower meta items may not be worth much but do a View Market Details on them first to see what they're worth. You can then do a reprocess on them to see what minerals you would get, then cancel out of it if the module is worth more than the minerals you'd get.

You can just sell the items you don't want to keep. One way to look at ISK - is as a common storage medium for items. Turn your items into ISK and you don't have to haul it but can just buy whatever you need whenever you need it, then turn items you once more don't need back into ISK. Ideally, when you sell them - you want to get more for them than you paid for them too.

Am I the only one that wants a transport ship with capable hangar NOT requiring skills for mining? It's really weird that we need to train a "Mining Foreman V", "Extreme Drilling V" or "AFK Monitor Lurking V" just to haul a few rigged ships and some stuff...

One thing leaving random items at stations *is* good for: you can use your Assets window to navigate around instead of having to open the map. Keeping Assets clutter-free lets you have a short list of favorite stations you can navigate to with two clicks.

r.e. wormspace exploration: All four types of cosmic signatures exist. Radar and Magnetometric sites are more rare than in K space, and those two types are generally the most difficult (and most lucrative) wormspace sites as far as Sleeper presence goes. Also, there are no "unknown" pure-combat signatures in wormspace comparable to the DED complexes in K space; all "unknown" signatures in a W system will be wormhole exits and all pure-combat sites will be anomalies.
