EVE New Citizens Q&A

I think I have heard a similar story before. Good luck and have fun

If you want his ship blown up, the best thing to do would be to just figure out what his character name is, what system he normally mines in, and go post this story in Crime and Punishment forum and ask for someone to contact you for the details of the target name and system.

I'm sure you'll find someone in there who would gleefully gank a miner for free, especially for a lady (misplaced sense of Eve-gallantry).

I guess this kind of explains my question. If he enjoy's mining more than her vagina I could see how she'd take it personal.

you sir do not know vengeance. it must be delivered in person for my best pleasure, and I don't care how profession or how fast the kill or how many time you can kill his ship, it's not my kill.


you don't know women, but I know men, he will be devastated over this haha

Welcome to EVE.

We have three policies regarding newbies here:
- give all the advice you can freely. You want that newbie to adopt the "EVE Mentality" and stay

- wait until they become nice and ripe before you "puck them."

- if the newbie is in a place where he/she should not be... or doing something he/she should not be doing... all bets are off.


Oh honey... you have no idea.

Band of Brothers disbanded by traitor Director: Goonswarm (a horde of people coming from the Somethingawful.com forums) gets a disillusioned Director of the largest and most powerful alliance in the game to disband his own alliance and all their claims in space... then bring him into their fold.

EVE Intergalactic Bank: a guy sets up an honest-to-god in-game bank... with all the bells and whistles and employees. A year later he fulfills every bank manager's dream and leaves with the vault while giving everyone the finger.

No one really gained anything out of this one... but it's funny...
Socratic's Fall: guy named Socratic really, really pisses people off by running his mouth while displaying almost no tactical common sense. Some guy gets fed up and sets Socratic up to involuntarily nuke several "innocents" and effectively limit his own ability to operate in some parts of the game.

Also technically not a scam...
Hulkageddon: basically there was a contest to see who could blow up the most mining ships in the game. The real deviousness of this came what was happening behind the scenes.
Many of the people who funded the rewards were the same people who MAKE the mining barges or have stockpiles asteroids. They literally engineered chaos and destruction to make a profit.

In all these instances:
- no one was reimbursed
- nothing was returned
- the player(s) who committed these acts were not banned
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

And then there is this helpful guide:

I think you'll just fine here.



Every man who has ever been in a relationship has asked this question.

There is no answer to it.

This is not a correction as you are fully correct just a clarification in case the OP does not fully understand.

Meta game is essentially any time that you are contemplating what your opponent is thinking that you are thinking especially when you are doing things to intentionally affect his / her attempts to get into your head.

FTFY. Also, that can actually have uses :>

missions dont really pay out too well anyway unless they are lvl 4's and the isk payouts aint too great either, the lp (loyalty points) is where you will make your money. the theory behind your ganking ship exploding is, you only shoot what is worth shooting, evaluate the cost of your ship to what the target has fitted then take 50% for loot fairy tax (50% is usually what will drop when you kill it).

once you get a bit more into you can join a player corp and you can make more money by doing other things (ded sites, anomolies, gatecamping, faction warfare etc)

i endorse this service so sent you some isk to get started also (probably code alt but who cares)

well mining is the lowest end income tbh, try faction warfare, it will give you needed experience on how to fly a spaceship and you will make plenty of isk, last thing you want to do is train up mining then realise you just wasted your time because you hate it and now your pvp char has useless mining skills that wont ever be used once you find more lucrative income sources.

bear with it though being young is hard and when you finally get to grips with the game it will be much easier and isk wont be much of a concern.

you are probably still very low sp so you should be looking to joining a player pvp corp once you get a foothold in eve, (i left highsec for faction warfare at 900k sp) dont know if corps will take you with any lower sp than that. a good player corp will help you out with learning

what do you mean your skill que is wrong? you should follow what ZAKURELL0 LINDA posted on page 1, its pretty relevant
