EVE New Citizens Q&A

i have only seen the eve community agree on a handfull of things and those are,

the old moa was hidious
the new domi is gorgeous
shoot at the Russians

Lessons learned during today's play:

*Like the Terminus signs in The Walking Dead, mobile depot spam will not lead you to the promise land.

*NPC convoy ships literally carry garbage. And milk. On the same ship. If you are lucky you will find spirits that can be sold for pitiful cash.

*It takes a LOT of bullets to kill an NPC hauler ship. So many that I ran out when it was almost dead.

*Asking a local to bring you ammo and dump it in space actually works. He tried to be tricksy and didn't abandon the ammo at first, but I am a noob, not a rube. Ha ha!

*It is not worth spending all of your ISK on ammo to blow up NPC Convoys unless you have a ship that can haul away the proceeds. Doh.

Ok.. back to the career guys I guess!

You are going to do very well here. Don't hesitate to ask us anything, we want to see people like you stick around.

no need, i sent him a little (which he should spend on skill books,hint hint)

Oh no worries mate, I actually put more on your head than I gave you (to help with the reputation)
don't worry, bountys have no in game impact whatsoever beyond bragging rights.
But yeah as we discussed, skills would be a great investment at this point.

Lessons learned the last two days:

*Patience is not my strong suit, but I am learning. As I can't fit much in the way of armor, guns, or the other things referenced in the rifter video, I wait.

*Waiting doesn't have to entail sitting in station.

*If you make a Russian angry enough, they will try to kill you and are blown up by concord.

*You really have to be on the ball to kill someone in their pod after their ship blows up. Criminal status turns passers-by into gunslingers. I am looking at you, Seth Tonic.

*I now have a killright. I relish using it. A week in and I feel like I am developing an arch-nemesis relationship with the angry russian. So fun.

The next trophy you will get is your first hate mail written in Russian. My last one was 100% worth the time it took to use google translate and find out I'm apparently a ****

dude would you do us a favour and pop your api into https://zkillboard.com or http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/ so we can monitor your adventures

Edit: and by that i mean kills and losses, much like the link in my sig

Yes to both questions.

Go Altony! More shenanigans!

Well it certainly did enough against a clueless noob in his first fight.

I had turned on my armor repairer, but I dont think I did so soon enough. I was so excited that I was shot at, thinking it was the retriever, then when I realized there was another ship there I didn't have long enough to figure out what was going on, unlock the retriever and drone, and lock the hound up or anything.

When I realized I was dying I tried to warp away and it was telling me something was preventing it. I assumed it was the hound.

I didnt have the skill trained for the warpdrive when I left the station earlier. I had planned to have one there. I will go with an afterburner instead, it may actually fit better. Thanks for the advice with the rig selection.

I'd watched a youtube video and built the ship exactly how they did. I just didnt fly it exactly how he did. Ha ha.

Now as I am thinking about it, I wonder if I actually agressed the retriever on accident when the hound started shooting at me. When I went back later concord was in the belt. It was like 25 minutes later, but they werent there earlier. If they showed up and disrupted me for aggressing (web and scrambled) the retriever at the same time as the hound was shooting at me, would they be on the killmail?

I will definitely be more prepared next time! Thank you.
