EVE New Citizens Q&A

I look at implants like this. Isk, ships and implants are replaceable. Time lost training with subpar implants is not.

So, yes I roll around with +5s. Just use 3 jump clones. One with int/mem, the other with per/wil implants and a 3rd one as a yolo I'm not coming back from this clone. Jump as needed between them.

If your going to lose your pod, you can rip them out to deny a juicy kill mail.

Plus if you have a quiet ratting system. Drop a ESS and farm LP plus get bonus isk. Makes replacing implants a lot cheaper or you can spend the LP on faction ammo as well. Win/Win.

If you want to be risk adverse then be risk adverse but don't blame CCP for a personal problem.

You're talking about buying up potentially expensive implants but yet you won't go out for a few days in some cheap frigates and try a little PvP and now the excuse is that it's too expensive.

Yeah.

While I do totally get that and agree it to be the case I'm just pointing out that Eve is different in many ways for sure but specifically to this topic you can PvP and win in this game pretty much from the beginning if you know what you are doing but if you don't know what you are doing then you will not be of much use to anyone.

In WoW for sure, since I did used to play that game and can speak from experience about it, Even if you were the best arena champion of all time in that game, if someone were to give you a brand new account you could not participate with other players and be effective nor even stand a chance until you spent weeks or months grinding up to level cap and then more weeks or months grinding gear.

On the flip side of that if you are level capped in that game and do have gear even if you don't know what you are doing you can be helpful in Battlegrounds and such. In this game I could give you an all level 5 character and if you've been PvEing for years you will still be effectively useless in PvP in this game until you learn PvP.

My main point is that most other MMO are far more "gear" and "progression" focused. Eve is far more personal skill and experience focused. So while the excuse that I have to get max level and deced out first does apply in those other games it most certainly does not apply here. In Eve by far experience trumps almost everything else with the single exception being friends.

in answer to the question the most practical thing you can do is as others have said is use a jump clone, no dilemma.

Are you looking for true answers with real useable information? Or would you rather have someone hold your hand and tell you that everything will be ok?

If you want someone to coddle you then may I suggest that you go back to your mother and see if you can't acquire sustenance from her mammary glands.

If you want to PvP in Eve then I suggest that you HTFU.

Keep in mind I'm not saying this as some hardcore PvPer. I'm saying this as possibly the biggest carebear in all of Eve.

This thread can be closed as there's nothing of any worth being added.

We are tired of you.

Get back to us once you've actually played the game. Until then no one really cares about your opinion.

No it did. I quoted the OP not you.

Whilst technically true, if your that desperate to fly stuff that you do not have the skills for just jump on SISI or better still just buy yourself a character on the bazaar with the skills you want. But in reality most people will qualify for stuff well before they have the player knowledge and insight to use it effectively (but human nature says they will will be convinced otherwise).

Obsession with the SP training mini-game is one of the biggest limiting factors on newer players in EVE and presumably a good part of the reason CCP are thinking of dumping training implants altogether.
