Dang. I just started Eve-Online a few days ago but I didn't think anyone here played so I didn't bother to ask.
Anyway my charaters names are Jack Thorland and Dak Granger, and I'm apart of the Heart Vemon Corp. Love em or hate em they're a nice bunch of guys, they've really helped me get adapted to the game.

I now have the Corp skill. I need to do some research on the cost. AFAIK, it's not free.

Simanov
But my free trial is over. And a day before I would have had a cruiser too. I'm not gonna subscribe now. But, does anyone know if my guy will still be around if I subscribe later?

I got about 300K I can spare if you need funds.
-
I also need to research what we'll need to prepare you guys...
I think I was telling Gun... my plan is to create a corp that will provide "security" for other corps that worry about engaging in potentially criminal activity.
So... the focus will be on fighting skills, not money or science.
-
Name is Saurdaukar - Im on the trial.
I dunno if Ive got all ths stuff right, but I assume you guys can figure it out.
Im in the Tranquility server, and Im near the State War Academy right now (apparently thats my corp for the time being) and Im a Caldari or some such ****.
My avatar is super cool and my ship sucks.
Just started mining asteriods and stuff to make a buck - bought a shield - thats about it.
Game seems cool so far - but I almost got the cops called on me for trying to blast open a container that wasnt mine (hey, it was faster than mining) :D
-
For me fighting is the most fun and satisfying. Still, you need money to aquire the skills and ships in order to be successful at it. Suppose that's why most of my time is spent mining.
-
I did some group mining, I made about 4 million ISK doing it over a short time. Now, I just do kill missions. I grab as much cargo as I can and sell off the contents. Anything that can't be sold is reprocessed. I have the skills for a cruiser, but not the larger guns yet.
I need to do some more research on cruisers as well. At first glance, they're awfully slow. My current Merlin has a top speed of 297 m/s. I've played around with energy weapons, but I don't think I have the armor necessary to get in a toe to toe slug fest, so it's back to the rail guns until I figure out what I want to configure.

Ah, kinda like the mob. Hmmm, maybe sell that security to some legit shipping corps? Pay us to protect ya from us? ;)

What is a Merlin? Interceptor?
-
Merlin is just a cardari frigate. Its the best fighter of them.
I think if I subscribe I'm gonna skip cruisers and go strait to interceptors. I like speed over firepower and armor.
-
Man Im pissed.
The interface is screwing me over. I bought some weapons - they didnt fit my new shuttle - sold them. Sold ship, bought new frigate - although not at current station - no idea how to find in which system the ship is (I assume) waiting for me.
Help me or die.
PS: Where are you buggers? Im totally lost in the scope of this - the map is intimidating for christs sake.
-
Suar, check your 'Assets' key on the left. It will tell you where everything you own is located.
I'm 'DaveW' and I'm mining out of 'Ikuchi' in the 'Forge' reigon of Caldria space.
-
Ok - Ill keep an eye out and after picking up my new ride from 'Slick's Used Spacecraft' Ill sing by your region. Gonna have to do some mining to make a few bucks, methinks.
Thankfully I havent gotten into a fight yet - Ive got no weapons!

Exactly. :)

Hey someone shoot me an email in the game with location and AH 2 name and we can hook up. My brother came across about 18mill the other day and he'd surely give up some of it for an Aces High Corp.

Tell me about it. I took a kill mission from a level II agent today. It had 5 graitus frigates and a freakin cruiser.
The cruiser kicked my arse in short order and after losing three merlins in one day I decided to give up on the mission.
BTW do you know how to use defender missles? I set it to autofire but they werent fireing. Do you actually have to target the incoming missle and fire the defender??????
Anyhow I'm back up to about 800K and I'm doing all the research needed for a cruiser. My goal is to have one in a week.
-
If anyone is stuck or cant figure anything out hit me up.. my name is "zeroa". I Usually by the Kisogo war station.
If you want to find out where your stuff is at there is a icon on the left side called "assets" That will show you what stations hold your stuff. Then just Right click on the one that has your stuff and select "set Destination" and once you undock click on your auto pilot and sit back and wait. Your auto pilot will only take you to the system not the station.

I *highly* recommend training Learning skills first. It'll help massively reduce training times later on.
Learn them in this order:
1) Memory 1234
2) Intellect 1234
3) Learning 1234
4) Perception 1234
5) Will power 1234
The exact name of the skill is different. eg, perception = "Spatial Awareness"
I'm just about finished with the Learning skill. Training to lvl 4 at the moment.

Do you need to buy the game Eve, or is there a download version on the internet to use.

there is a link in the other Eve thread that has a link for a free download and a free two week trial.
again anyone know how to use defender missles? I'm making a 8 jump sortie just to learn FOF missles cause I'm tired of waisting them.
anyhow....I'm taking time off of missions to collect some assets....pretty bad when I have over 230 assets spread out over 24 systems.

Lol, sounds like you're gonna be earning a bunch of frequent flyer miles.
-
Im gonna need some help with ships....
I traded up to the cheap Caldari frigate (Bantam) and while its warp speed is faster (6 AU/sec) the power drains quicker - can I buy a larger generator or something?
-
Oh - and how do you set autopilot?
-
Click the yellow button near the bottom middle portion of your hud :)
You can set a keymapping in the config menu (escape).
As for increasing your power output, you can purchase Engineering skills such as basic engineering or another one called 'power grid usage' or something similar. If there's an item that modifies any atribute on your ship, there's probably a skill category you need to learn before being able to use it. Engineering will give you an increase on pwoer output per level. But, imo, you're better off buying a better ship. That 5% doesnt really do much with early characters :)

that circle thingy were your weapons are are...on the left there's a yellow button that says off....hit that and it says on....make sure you have a destination set.
Ships....cant help you there, I dont keep them long enough. I went through three merlins today....I know ouch!

its a space game that requires two things.....time and good decisions.
Its not too bad but when your ship gets blown from out under you like happend to me 3 times today you spend the next hour locating one for the right price and location....not to mention equiping it.

Gameplay is very casual. You aren't required to be online in order to advance skills or experience.

Next question: How does trade work? Is there a way to figure out how much goods cost at each respective station?
I bought water at some damn place for 30IKS and thought I could offload it for more... turns out some dude paid me like 2IKS per unit like half a universe away - I was pissed.
PS: Got jumped for the first time last night. Apparently I tried mining the wriong asteriod field.
"Whats the deal with those red squares?"
-Click 'Look at'
"He doesnt look very happy... whats the deal?"
-BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Oh ****!"
-'Warp drive activated.'
LOL!
-
Are there any exploration quests yet? I left because I was tired of mining, mining, mining, mining, learning, mining, mining, killing NPCs, learning, and so on.
I was in a pretty decent corp, so we got nice powerful ships, yet the gameplay was always the same, so I got bored.

-
Whoa, whoa, whoa... if you join a corp you get ships?
WTF? Im joining the Navy! F this busted bellybutton frigate and tis godforsaken mining laser!
-
The Corp my main Char is in moved out to a 0.0 system because the ore out there was very rare. Well come to find out another corp was going to move out that way. The 0.0 system was at a dead end.... one way in .. one way out. So taking it was very good. So there was a HUGE battle for the 0.0 system. My Corp sent a kamakazie mission of frigates and intercepters to try and stop the incomming Corp. Then the Battleships and Cruisers moved in to stop the Incomming Corp. A huge battle came to a head and i think our corp lost? i left before it ended due to personal reasons (got married :p ).
But besides mining there is alot of stuff to do... you can build things and sell them, you can Bounty Hunt for good ISK, you can haul ore for people for a fee. Minning does get old real fast but its easy fast money.
Next question: How does trade work? Is there a way to figure out how much goods cost at each respective station?
If you click on the "green" icon when you look at your items in the market you can see what other stations are selling your item for and how many jumps away. I buy stuff that the station im in does not have and i jump the price up. you will be amazed how much poeple pay so they dont have to do a 4 system jump to get an item.
Whoa, whoa, whoa... if you join a corp you get ships?
The good ones give you ships... but in most Corps you have to be a member for so long before they let you take what you want, its there way to stop stealing.
-
Dang Saur, I am on the last day of my trial and tried to give you all my stuff plus 500K is or so. hehehe.
-
WTF!?!?! I keep getting invitations to join chats from you guys - I accept and then add you to the buddy list and nothing happens. How do I open the chat window?
Logging back in... mining boredom be damned!
-
Thanks Furious. :)
-
the window should pop up in your chat main window. or pop up somewhere else on screen.

Shiny Green :D

talyn draco in game im in the noukaiken sector ill cruise over to kisogo to see if ay of u are there
-
I've moved my freelance operations to Korma.
I got a good level I and II agent out there and good kill missions.
between reward, bonus, bounty, and cargo I had a 6 bookmark mission were I made 150K.
Whats cool about this game is there are so many ways to make money. You can set up manufacturing and sell ammo, ships, upgrades ect.
you can also set up a research lab and research new skills to sell.
of course that all depends on your skill level but the market their is so dynamic w/ the supply demand system. I place an order for 1000 missles and they go up in price 100 each. Pretty cool.
