EVE New Citizens Q&A

---

^^ this.


Never give up, never surrender.
Eve is very harsh, but very fun.
Stick with it, new players, you'll be glad you did.


I combined your double post - ISD Athechu

I've already been speaking with another player who almost fell prey to Hard Rock Miners. The corp was formed just days ago and has their HQ in Deepari, a starter system. I checked their details on Eve Who and found that the corp's leave history was filled with people who only stayed for a few hours, obviously having been either ganked or finding that it was a trap and subsequently left.

This is the second time in a matter or days that I've heard pretty much the same story about Hard Rock Miners, they aren't a genuine mining corp nor are they a friendly corp as advertised. I advise any new players looking for a corp to check them out on Eve Who, check their Eve Kill page and see if they're in the habit of shooting corp mates and how many join and leave in a short time.

Actually if they are HQ'd in Deepari and targeting new players specifically they can be reported. I think that might be considered Newbie space and one of the only No go zones for taking advantage of new players. Might want to consider talking to a GM about it.

Could be possible. People just need to petition it and it could be the CCP will agree it's newby bashing (which is not allowed in the starting systems).

No point in raging really. Its a valuable lesson and you sadly learned it the hard way. If you did not rage unsubdued i would have contracted you my first and only Retriever from my first week of game when i thought mining was fun

Yes haulie, Deeperi is a starter system, & Interestingly When I first started, I noticed a Buff coloured Ship in there, 25km away Which when I locked on to see info, it said "Bounty" 3,900000 IDK or something.

I asked in Rookie Chat, about this ship, and an experienced player, said, its very unlikely he will attack you, hes not allowed to kill newbies in here, he could get banned. After a few minutes, a lot of green squares started to fly to intercept him, he then jumped out Like a bat out of hell

Actually, im not sure where I stand, if I was to attack a" Rock Miner", Just on the strengh of them being bullys, an unprovoked attack on one, may flag me as an agressor, I know my standing to the rock miners would go in - standing, but its the bigger picture of my standing in that area, I would be more concerned about, thus, Until I really understand the mechanics and kill policys, I will only respond if Im attacked for the time being.

Im still not sure what an "Incursion" is, after flying 25 gates to see my Corps home System, I gated through 2-3 areas, that had a pink bar, and other info on services suspended. Obviously I didnt hang around, But one gate I went through, gave me a shock, as it said in red, "You are an Enemy" Blah Blah, After 2 consecutive Jumps, The local chat said i was out of the incursion area, if anybody has a Wiki they can point me to about "Incursions" I would be grateful.

Also, being a Gallente, but being in a corp in Ammre 25 jumps away, I was wondering, how the hell am I supposed to get all my 3 ships and fittings From Gallente Academy to there, without having to return each time to collect each ship. Or should I just sell the The rookie ship and the Atron, and just take my new Tristan with me. Confused.com

Most of the new players bashing in rookie systems is bannable, Deepari is one of those system, I started there.
I haven't been there since I finished my tutorials, except once a couple weeks ago. Didn't notice any corp acting like that, but instead I spotted a comment in local, bit of crappy smacktalk from a vet (2010 but it's still way older than me). I looked up the guy's killboard and noticed he had been baiting newbs in this system for a few days already, so I filed a petition and let the GM look into it. One hour later he was gone.
I suppose he could always argue he was training them to PvP, but having an alt in a vindicator whenever the foe undocks in a destroyer instead of a frigate, kinda kills the argument, because we all know how dangerous a 5 days old player can be in a destroyer.

Anyway, just don't hesitate to petition what seems odd to you guys, in starter systems. Worst case scenario, you learn from a GM that it's not bannable, best case, you maybe get a reimbusement if you lost a ship and the griefer is warned or banned if it isn't the first offence.

Also, do take advices in NPC corps channels, with a grain of salt. Some old players there are alts of even older toons, but some of them just never left the NPC corp and may have misinformed knowledge on some topic, because they never did anything but PvE. I'm still in contact with some of the IAC members because I had a great time in the corp chat, but keep in mind that some players may be old though have very little experience in PvP and some other game mechanisms. If a player has a bounty, it doesn't mean he will shoot you, he's likely to bait you in giving him the right to shoot you, but if he does in a starter system and you're about a couple weeks old, it's bannable. When you want to show info on someone on grid, don't target them, they'll see you did and if they're up to some mischief, you just raised their attention. Instead, right-click>show info from the overview.

If people banded to take him down, it's for the bounty, the person shooting his pod would be paid the bounty by Concord, that's why he left. I know some people like to have a bounty and appear meaner than they are, but if someone has a bounty bigger than their current clone price, they're better shooting themselve with an alt and collecting the money. The bounty mechanism is utterly useless and broken nowadays. Without any PvP experience, I'd advise you not to try to get the bounties, you're likely to end up on the wrong side of the killmail.

As per relocating, if you don't autopilot, 25 jumps is about 25 minutes, it's a pain, but either you do that, or sell everything and equip yourself once arrived, or you ask your corpmates to give you a haul if you trust them with your assets. If you don't trust them that much yet, you can contract haulers to do it for you if you can afford it. In your situation, I'd keep one ship and fit it well (ask advices from your corpmates) and reprocess the rest of the items (minerals sell easier than low volume mods), less chances of losing ISK than assets, unless you fall for a scam. Once at your destination, use that money to buy some new stuff along the suggestions of your corpmates if they can tell you what you can do with them.

Hello everyone,

So this thread took my attention on the grief problems that happened. So I looked into it a bit further and asked around and this is the following answer in what you should do if this does happen to you and what not to do.

If a corporation is specifically created to target Rookie Players (regardless of the system) just to kill them please file a petition under harassment and the GMs will look into it.

Even so it can be helpful for future players also don't hesitate to ask an ISD member or mail them too if you see them in-game. We are here to also help as best as we can :).

I can guarantee this is a troll thread.

1 - If you had cancelled your sub already, you cant post on the forums
2 - How can CCP "not allow" that to happen? You joined their corp without knowing them. Blues can shoot blues in this game.
