A nice little tutorial on how to avoid warp disruption fields or as they are commonly known bubbles

Losing ships is inconvenient or annoying? Only because you have to get another one before you can get back in there I suppose.

Here's a surefire way to avoid rage in this game. Buy all ships and modules assuming they are on borrowed time from the first undock. Don't get attached to your ships or your wallet balance, they will ruin everything for you the second you start to care. Don't head out there trying to get yourself killed (or do, what do I care really) but don't sweat it when the inevitable happens. It's just ISK and has no other purpose than buying more things to blow up everyone else's stuff or die in a glorious fire in the attempt.

When I go down I like to try and jam as many people on the mail as I possibly can for the "wtf happened to you?!?!" comments on the killboard. Like losing a frigate to 37 people. The fact that you lived long enough for the battleships to start missing is a win in itself really. Fly anything long enough and eventually someone or something will kill it. So when it happens grab a fresh ship and see if you can get at least some of your stuff back. Incidentally don't get into the revenge thing it just turns you into troll fodder as your hate mail gets posted to the interwebs so everyone can have a good laugh at your expense. I've tried talking at least a handful of convos out of tracking me down to use their kill rights (I'm -10.0 anyway) as they will just lose another ship. So far no one has managed to come in raging over a past loss and not leave fuming about their newest one. In many cases my corpmates helped me out but focused revenge in this game will land you in the same boat as focused revenge in RISK, dead and stewing over a game you can no longer play.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

EVE is more like magicka, you die frequently, usually from crossing the streams or arse mines.


EVE is like Magicka, most of my deaths are self-inflicted because I threw a bunch of random spell reagents (modules) into a spell (crap-fit) and exploded?

Losing ships in lowsec is one thing, but you really shouldn't be getting podded unless you are unlucky enough to bump into a sebo'ed loki or sumthin that can get a lock on your pod before you warp out (also smartbombs)... Burn back to gate, burn off the gate, take out the tackler(s) align out to a celestial and turn your tank on, any of these things are more useful than posting in C&P that you got your spaceship blown up....

just want to bring a couple things up to the people who feel its impossible to get poded in Low sec.

Speed of the computer your playing on does have a impact on how fast your screen/controls changes from being in a ship to out of a ship in a pod. If your computer isn't up to the task, you will get caught alot more than someone with a better computer.

You can lessen the impact of this by turning off ingame email notifications and lowering your overal graphfix settings but even these changes don't always work.

Just food for thought...

Every time I come back to EVE the game has changed. I enjoy it for a week or two, then inevitably I get podded trying to meet up with some friends in some low sec sector. This leads to me cancelling my account and walking away from the game again for a another year or two. So my options are to either stay in high sec doing missions until I hate the game so much that I punch my computer screen, or being a lucrative career of VELDSPAR mining!

Guarding a jumpgate is one thing, having a field of warp disruption is silly. I do not mind dying to players who are skilled and have trained their characters to kill. But how hard is it to kill a character who can't warp away? I imagine quite easy. But I have never been on the opposite side of that. Maybe I am wrong.

Anyways, thanks for the moments in space.

I really hope your not serious with your above post.

Don't listen to those liars.............. EVE is full of perfect safe places! They are called : Station.

Hmmmm, serious. I'm playing over 1 year, playing in a WH class 5 and surroundings, most of the time alone and guess what? I still suck at PVP but I learned to fly cheaper ships for more dangerous situations. That and a few tricks such as covert ops and cloaking. Training doesn't take too long.
It's a game, but if you don't feel like being killed much when on ur own................ get in a group or search another way to play the game, there is way more then high sec mining.
Ask ur "friends" to pick you up and fly together to their system?

These friends of yours. . .are they people you meet in-game or are they people you already know outside of Eve

As most people are saying (apart from the guffaws of laughter), if you're new, inexperienced, and don't have the appropriate skills, don't go to lowsec alone. It's simply not going to work out well

If your "friends" aren't going to come to your aid when you've been attacked, or help you refit if you follow their advice on traveling to lowec, then they ain't friends

It sounds to me like you're being duped and consequently lead into a well planned trap. No one pods a newbie. Well, almost no one. There's no point. You won't lose that many skillpoints if your clone isn't up to date, and you probably can't afford implants that are worth anything yet

But seriously, the cardinal rule for lowsec is never travel alone (unless you're skilled up and highly experienced)

Eve is not about making a million isk per hour on any unskilled character, but remember that the game, as any, is designed for players to learn as they increase in experience/expertise

Its possible to play in highsec and enjoy the game immensely, depending on your in-game goals. Running missions is really the best way to enjoy the game in solo play mode, and is useful in more than one way. You gain reputation, opening up higher level missions and simultaneously teaching you, the player, the ins and outs of combat skills, including such things as what you can and can't do in { insert ship type here }.

In fact, that'd be my number one suggestion. Forget lowsec and go run missions. It will change your gaming experience, I guarantee it.

First, no. Nearly everything you said is total crap, and I will explain why:

1.) Flying solo in a fast frig/destroyer/cruiser or a badass BS that can tank 6-7 people while you pop them one by one is the best way to enjoy the game solo. If you actually think that going into a predefined and documented environment and shooting red crosses until your eyes fall out of your head and your IQ drops by 3 pts per hour, your definition of fun may be the same as watching snails copulate.

2.) Missions do not show you the ins and outs of combat. All it teaches you at best is close range, hit Orbit, mash F1. If you think that's the ins and outs of combat, I welcome you to come to my home system and try that with me. You will utterly humiliated and destroyed. The only way of being able to learn true combat is to go out and do it against live players. You will lose ships. You will make mistakes, but you will learn from them, hopefully. FRAPs every battle you can and go back and watch it over and over and over again. You will so what you did wrong, and most importantly what you did right.

My best advice to you, OP, is to not listen to people who know next to nothing about PVP or combat. They are inept people who are trying to lull you into their mediocrity so they can feel better about their choice to avoid the best thing about this game: the PVP. This game has crap for PVE, but it's PVP makes up for it. So train up for T2 Frigs, and in the meantime grab a Rifter or what have you and blow some stuff up. Once you mastered the frigs, go from there. There is nothing quite as satisfying as blowing up someones Navy Megathron with a Rifter.

Thanks again to those positive posters, and helpful people! It has invigorated me to stick with this game. Hopefully for a longer duration this time. See you all in space.

Eve isn't a game for cowards. You may be happier elsewhere.

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

Get better friends. If they want you to join them but cannot scout you and or help you move your stuff and explain to you how to NOT get podded in lowsec even if you lose your ship, they are not very good EVE friends (even if you enjoy their company out of the game). That, or start actually listening to their advice...

When you know your ship is going to go down, do not wait until you see your pod in space before attempting to warp. Instead, in low structure or whatever on the ship kill, pick a celestial to warp to, and start hitting the warp-to button. Spam it 2-3 times a second until you see your pod in warp. Problem solved.

Just wait for the next expansion or two. CCP will nerf this into the ground right after they ruin all the other fun things in eve.

I am sure if you try real hard, you can whine about this even more and in even more unrelated threads! Roll Adapt or GTFO. It's not like even suicide ganking in high-sec still is any sort of rocket science, let alone killing someone in lowsec, which this one was about...

It happens. People do indeed love their pvp, and some people really like to be catered to as carebears.
