EVE-Online

[Allen]

I just started my first Minnie alt the other day, and boy, it's so different... hardly any tanking, damn fast ships, awesome hitting power with my Arties, so much fun compared to tanking and slowly taking 'em down.

Sadly, the path I chose meant extremely high Perception and Willpower and really low all other stats although now with implants and starting to work on Learning skills they're getting better (19 Perc, 14 Will, 8 Mem & Int and 7 Charisma). Low Charisma and no Social skills means I'm getting very little standings gain when doing level 1's, but on the positive side I hit very hard!

Currently have a Rifter (what a ship...) with the following setup:

Type-D Power Core Modification: Shield Power Relay
Type-D Power Core Modification: Shield Power Relay
Co-Processor I (will replace with another relay when skills are better)

Small Subordinate Screen Stabilizer I (will replace with a medium sized named extender)
Additional Thermal Barrier Emitter I
F-S8 Relativistic Deflection Shield Induction I

250mm Light Carbine Howitzer I, EMP S
250mm Light Carbine Howitzer I, EMP S
250mm Light Carbine Howitzer I, EMP S
Standard Missile Launcher I, Sabretooth Light Missile

Boy does it rip through frigs and cruisers fast! BTW, the shield resistant amplifiers and light missiles are exchanged depending on who I'm fighting.

Huzzah, the war is over!



I do believe that they lost more than us, so was good practice! And more the fools for them trying to take us on!

AGGHHHHH, I just got owned so bad
Lost my Caracal (TWICE!!), now falling back to L1 Agents as I dont have the money to buy a new one and start another L2 mission (I quit the last one, too hard).
Looks like a night of mining. How fun

[chuckskull]

Losing ships is part of the game, I've lost 11 in the last 3 months. Including a faction fit Raven Navy Issue, not cheap. All part of the fun.

Always fly with platinum insurance.

Thanks for the gift Mr Chuck Skull <3

Yep! When I actually bothered to PVP (last week, ) I lost:

4 Drakes
2 Caracals
3 Condors
2 Capsules
1 Merlin

Blue Federation Killboard - Pilot details - Joensen

And it was great

Now I'm on to the battleships, but I'll wait just a wee bit to get some skills up and some missions to get the ISK to replace it when it goes before I PVP with those

I've got a Raven (90% fitted), a drake, 24 shuttles and 18mil ISK to show for my efforts

Sorry if this makes no sense at all I'ver quite drunk

[chuckskull]

If you're working in small gangs the Caldari ECM boats Scorpion and Blackbird both work well. You will be stamping "PRIMARY" on your forehead though

Blackbirds are pretty cheap and devastatingly effective in the right situation.

[Agent]

What ship do you you guys think I should be looking at after the Caracal?, ie. whats the natural upgrade from it?
Just so I can plan my skills ahead accordingly

[chuckskull]

For missions the drake is the next natural step. For PVP stick to smaller ships.

How do I give stuff away at the end of a trial? I obviously can't transfer money, but can I buy a load of ships and just leave them floating around in space for people to claim?

I'll have nearly 100m to get rid of probably - decided that while I love the short and medium term aspects of the game, I didn't really fancy the longer term stuff of being in a corp and ending up having to listen to lots of swearing americans bossing people around*.

*generalisation formed only from watching You Tube videos of Eve.

You can buy me a BS if you like Mr Bong0's the name

[kalniel]

Not on the trial account I can't (gifting/contracting things to people that is).

[Monks]

Heard good things about the game but never played it.

Is it subscription based like wow?
Is it worth Getting?

Yes.

Depends on how much you like it. Try it for 21 days through Steam.

100M in the trial account? Blinkin heck mate, how?

Missions and salvaging in mid-sec space. Looting a tech 2 implant that sold for 45m certainly helped
