Why don't you guys just take out adds like normal companies?

Wouldn't that imply that there is some kind of intelligence lurking inside the brain of Ira Theos, to have the capacity of such feats?

Oh, and I failed to say in my last post: great post OP, thanks for sharing it with us.

Wait until you have solid fitting skills before you think about flying capships.

Wait until you have the frigate skill to 5 before you try to fly an interceptor.

Or just don't fly those slow lumbering beasts of boredom. Cruisers are much more entertaining, and boast far more variety.

I have an alt in RFED. It's a fun diversion. It's not a "real" corp though.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great thing and EvE would be less without it. Also a decent place to learn PvP so long as you don't begin thinking all of EvE is like that. But RvB is about setting up fair fights and having fun...the rest of EvE is about ganking, pure and simple. RvB disallows midslot ECM. If you run into a blob without a Falcon in real EvE then you're a lucky MFer.

In RvB you come and go as you want. There's no greater goal, nothing to work toward. Real EvE corporations have these things...or should.

So if I were you and wanted a true EvE experience I'd keep looking. Stay in RvB in the meantime and learn how to fit, follow FC orders, etc...but find a corp with an agenda beyond providing a playground.

Great to see these posts, which come up regularly.

For other new pilots, it's worth noting that these "I'm new and I'm having a whale of a time" posts are always from pilots who have shed their fear of losing ships and pods at an early stage.

I'll quit either when you Devs stop posing as new subscribers singing the praises of Eve or I run out of isk to pay for PLEX..
Eve is on a downhill slide because of major game flaws and poor judgement on CCP's part.
You know it, I know it, we all know it.
As for your disapproval of my opinion, PFFFT! , I don't base my postings on Fan Bois entertainment values.
So feel free to kiss my posterior. Lol

Confirming the Dev Alts appreciate pats on the back from the other posting Dev Alts.

Does that make this a "round of applause" or a "circle jerk of applause"?

Sorry Tip.. I don't work for SOE or any game company. So you are off target.

I just used to play Eve and did enjoy it until I understood it.
It's really too bad , because it is a great concept.
