EVE New Citizens Q&A

OP - Another word of advise:

long term PvP and game opportunities stem from other players. I'm not sure the details but it looks like you may have burned a bridge of opportunity.

For the future, try to take advantage fo every opportunity you can, fly with as many different folks as you can, make as many friends in game as you can.

If the corp is not a good fit, don't storm off in a huff, just tell them its not working out and move on.

You will find that as your contacts in game increase, so will your target list as your own personal network starts feeding you leads etc.

Unless your into the RP side, or getting desperate to get that little merlin to engage in lowsec; it hardly ever pays to be an ass long term.

try not to be an ass, then let me know how you did it.

I stated I didn't know the details, just offered some advice.

The bridges I was warning about burning wasn't a Corp invite, and the advice still stands.

Best of luck in your endeavors.

Please do not give me advice anymore. I find it condescending, and kind of a waste of time. Advice on how to use ships, or tactics-- fine, advice on my people skills? A bit insulting lol

How can he lie when he is telling _me_ that he wont hire you?



Hire indeed. You will even have to file an application to get into each and any corp in EVE. That's just another bit of EVE-lingo you didn't learn yet.



Is he? You would be very fitting then with your meager 5MSP, not to speak of you "friends".



Do you? You must be one of those Jita macro scammers then.



So you don't care? Why did you retreat into insults then? Did we hit a nerve?

The fact I consider his corp _sufficient_ for a new player like you stems from the fact that I was in fleet with him and made some neutral ships explode. As far as battleclinic is telling us your PvP adventures where less successful so far.

No, it is about a noob with horrible misconceptions that will have to learn a lot about the game he barely started playing.

(This silly forum does not allow me to have more then 5 quotes per post. I hope you can untangle it anyways.)

Given that you have a Curse in you fleet that can't use the Redeemers jump bridge nor light a covert cyno, the blackops is of limited use. As being sayed, BS are slow. If you are fine with leaving it behind when you have to run it will work, ofc.

Alexis, on the ONE PERCENT chance you are not a troll, I will say this:

Go learn it. Sitting here or in EveMON and fantasizing what your ideal gang composition in 6months will be is completely pointless. Actually going out and learning what works is going to be hundreds of times a better use of your time. Your average redeemer fit is going to take you for about 800 - 1billion ISK, which you will lose the VERY FIRST time you use it if you're as clueless as you are now.

You're all further away from your target ships than you think you are. Getting the SP to sit in the hull and then heading out in it, is a terrible idea. At the very least, every half decent Pilgrim fit needs Recon V. You'll need around 2 or 3 mil SP in drones to have a hope of killing anything.

A decent rule of thumb I decided on, was that when you can T2 the full fit (low, mid and high slot items for a ship), you're skilled enough to PVP in it.

A Redeemer fit, just for T2 guns, drones and tank, will set you back something like 350days PLUS. None of those things are something you want to skimp on.

Or, you could stop being snobbish and learn in T1 ships, like, say, everyone else. Plus, I don't have a clue where you get the idea that a Paladin is a decent ship to PVP in? Just go ahead and google "PVP Marauder." Or just tell us why you think a ship with the same DPS as T1 hulls makes it a better "damage dealer"?

You'll not find a corp to accept you because your attitude is terrible. You've theorycrafted out some bullshit ideas and now want a PVP corp to accept you, and accept that you'll be learning PVP in 150+mil hulls. OH and the icing on the cake? You don't want a corp that will accept new players. Classic.

My corp accepts brand new players and still manages to hold a ~90% efficiency. We'd have a snowballs chance in hell of doing this with people like you around, which is the reason none will accept you.

were not trolls. give us your corp, and the name of your home system. we will come to you

As a member of an NPC corp you are not able to start or receive a war dec.

To the OP:

Understand you all have very specific goals WRT to PVP, but I have to agree with some of the others when they say you should start a bit smaller and work from there. There's plenty of blogs out there on solo PVP in frigates which will help you learn all sorts of valuable lessons at less than 20m a pop. (Fair enough, you make loads of ISK, and maybe you like throwing it away - but if not, starting small can still be a good idea.) I'm sure there's a frigate or destroyer or even a cruiser out there you can use with the skills you've already got.

Remember, PVP isn't just about the ship you're flying and the modules you're running and the skills you've trained. It's also largely based on experience, generally taught by losing more than you win (in the beginning, at least).

Good luck in your endeavors. Fly safe/dangerous o/

Oh bother, and I was hoping they'd follow through, too. We may not be very good at PvP but we'd be more than a match for these guys if they are for real.

Just in case you miss that: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries; I am insulting your honour, come get us.
