Gentlemen,
Sorry, I've been away from my desk for most of this week so my involvement with the corp has been rather hit and miss. Tonight, I'll try and get the corp organized.
Right now, we have nine members.
I intend to create a couple of divisions with leaders for each. One for industrial work and another for fighters. At this point, most members will be doing a little of both, but I expect that has our characters increase skills, we'll specialize more and more.
Apologies in advance if I'm not any good at this. I've never created a corp and my personal focus has been on fighting skills, so I'm figuring it out as I go.

i hope you got some factory space rented and are researching blueprints to build ships and equipment. Im already a member of a corp but the CO has been playing a LONG time. we build our own ships What area do u have your HQ in?

The HQ is Perimeter 2, Moon 1, Caldari Navy Assembly Plant for the time being. We're all new so we're working up to being more self sufficient.

I am going to check this game out Tuesday or Wednesday. My handle will be Gorski, possibly with an extra i or something if that handle is taken.
Gorskii
P.S. Sandman, will the corp be multi-racial this week?
-
OK, I'm in the Corp, have a dude (Ferrante) started, and am on the board...
Now if I could just figure out what the hell I'm doing lol.

Sik, if you see me online let me know. I can give you the dough to buy a decent ship.
-
I'm going to give this game another try.
Maybe I can find you guys.
I have no idea how to do anything yet.
-
After over a month, it's amazing how much I still don't know. ;)

I'm sitting on about 100,000 clams right now, I can't remember what I was going to buy with it (a Bantam maybe?).
Since I wasn't sure how long I'd play (if I would even play past my 2 weeks) I figured I'd focus on mining/refining since it was something I could jump right into.
Right now I just upgraded the mining laser on my rookie ship to speed up my common mineral mining times. I totally suck at getting around (the only hopping I've done was to program the HQ into my computer and turn on the auto pilot lol) but I'm slowly getting the hang of things.
-Sik

I tried to get the game running, all I got was a black screen at first and it locked up. Next time I tried it, the screen kept jumping resolutions around but didn't get past the splash screen. Well, the splash screen kept coming up in diferent resolutions.
I really did want to try it to, maybe after I get back I'll give it another shot.
-
It might not work with your video card.

Here's a wierd one... the game only wants to run in 1024x768, while my desktop is at 1280x1024. So, I end up with EVE running in a small window on my computer. When I was doing the tutorials, I reset windows to 1024x768 but after a while I figured that it was easier to leave it alone as a window, since I was going to be reading the boards while I monkey-humped my way through the solar system doing the mind-numbingly boring, yet strangly adicting asteroid mining.
-Sik
-
SB, I believe ALT-ENTER will change it to full screen.
-
also, hit ESC and under the graphics tab you can change it from running in windowed mode.
-
yeah alt+enter will change it to full screen and then back.
Dont hit the windows key...it will mess up the running game.

Aha! that explains my mystery dump last night. My daughter just loves to hit that Windows key (she's 15 months old, and the windows key is the only one she can hit and constantly have the computer DO something lol).

ill take 5 mill ISK so i can buy my thorax cruiser ;)
will repay 8 mill of course hehe.

Well... it's easier than removing her fingers. :)
-
Names Sayvik in the game, ill give you some $$ while you get the hang of it..
-
Any of you use a USRobotics router?
For the life of me I cannot connect to Tranquility with this PC.
I start the game, I show a connection to the test server, but Tranquility shows, no connection or server doesn't exist.
I have turned off all firewalls, and as far as I can tell my router is wide open....
EVE tech support is trying to help, but so far about all we have established is that I cannot telnet to the server.
Mebbe its a Rogers cable issue, though I doubt that.

Invite me Sandman. Slingshot Jones is the name....I am Caldari.

Same thing with a D-Link DI-604 skurj. Plus when i click create an account the page comes up blank although I would assume I'm doing something wrong.

i think you have to fly to the station in Perimeter and put in an app.?
-
BTW, it's the router for sure, forgot to add it works when I run my cable direct.
I'm I right to assume there is no free trial in this game? As in you will be getting 30 days free but paying $19.99 for the download to get them? Was just wondering if you guys paid the $20 to try it, and if it's worth it.
-
Creamo, there is a 14 day free trial thru MMORPG.com. I am currently in my 3rd day of the trial. Going to give it the full 14 days but I hope it gets a little better (which I assume it will 'cause I ain't got much in terms of equipment). It's painfully boring at the moment IMO.

Good to hear from you old friend. I actually miss these little tit for tats.
-
apache it gets better around day 10 of the trial if you do your training and mining right.
first train Learning and all the other Learning skills (iron will, analytical mind, etc) to level3.
(this takes about 5 days)
Then go for frigate 3.
then go for industrial skill 1 so you can have an industrial ship to haul your mined ore.
then go for Anchoring skill so you can buy and use secure containers.
If you mine while all these train (suggest you team up with others to mine faster) you will have enough money to buy the industrial ship and the container.
When you get all that you can go ahead and mine real good while you train the skills in the ship you want to be flying in (cruiser or interceptor of frigate or industrial).
-
Right on Apache, it worked so far. Now to connect.
Thanks alot.
-
creamo, theres a patch being installed today from 10 am to 2pm est you wont be able to connect till then.
-
That's what it is saying. I'll give it ago when it's up.

Picked up a Bantam last night as soon as I got home from work (and I can NOT remember the last time I ran home to turn on a freakin video game lol) I was really excited, I hopped over a system to get the keys, and it looked like a sweet ride! So I went to take it for a spin, but I couldn't figure out how to get it out of Park!
So, I went over to the book-store and picked up "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Caldari Frigates" but I was all like "damnit! I already know all this crap." So I jumped around a few systems looking for the skill "Caldari Frigates for Dummies (Caldari Frigates II) but couldn't find it anyhwhere! Damnit! Finally I ask on the Corp channel if anyone knows where I can find this skill, and someone pointed out that I had to right click the skill from my Character Sheet.
Good to know!
So I'll get to take my ship out for a spin tonight hopefully.
-Sik
-
The Bantam is nice. If your mining alone, it's not a bad platform. Room for drones and a couple of hardpoints for lasers, unfortunately no weapons. If you're working with a group and have a Badger nearby to do the hauling, the Merlin is better. The cargo hold is smaller, but you'll just be dropping cans so it makes little difference. The chief advantage is the missile rails. With these, you can defend the group and mine at the same time.
-
OIO, thanks alot for the pointers! This should really help. Many thanks.

Doh! I have no idea how to get there. Any help? I dont know if my measly little ship can make it that far. I may have to stop for gas and wings on the way.
-
Open your map. Select search. Type in "Perimeter". Right click the result and select set destination. Warp.

if you bring up the "people and places menue"(second from the top on the left side of the screen iirc) you can search for "Perimeter" once you find it, you can right click, and choose "set as destination"
Then you can click the autopilot (Yellow light to the left of the speed indicator on your ship) and it will take you there one jump at a time.
-Sik

One more thing.....is there an online manual for this somewhere that I can read? I keep seeing stuff about training but have no idea where and how to do this either. Any of you folks going to be on tonight? Maybe we can hook up.

One more thing, and maybe you already know this:
To navigate "in-system" you don't have to look around for the station/field/planet icon. Instead you can just right-click on empty space, and it will bring up a list of destinations: Asteriod Fields, Stargates, Stations, Planets. You select any of those, and it will bring up a list of those types of destinations within the system. So when you get to "Perimeter" you just right click, select "stations" then find the "Perimeter II Caldari Navy Assembly Plant" and click "warp to"
Poof, you're there.
-Sik
-
Or... you can use the scanner.
-
AHH
I cant login!
When I select my character, it says 'Activating Cedric Hawke...... Failed' and just blackscreens.
What the hell?
-
There's a patch.
-
patch is already finished... i was playing for about an hour and it booted me back out.. reboot is coming at 5pm EST
-
another good way to get from system to system is to open your map... and do a search for Perimeter then right click on perimeter and click "set destination" then click out of map and hit the warp button. It will take you to the Perimeter system.
-
Well the end result from EVE tech support about my inability to connect...
Call yer ISP...
WHat total utter crap... never had this issue with any other app....
Oh well, saves me spending more money/month
SKurj
-
onther good thing to do 1st thing is train all learning skills to level 4. there are 6 they are learning, iron will, instant recall, analytical mind, spatial awareness and empathy. this will greatly reduce your time for learning new skills
-
Mine worked after the new patch skurj, might wanna retry it.
This game is very odd. I did the training, then delivered some small arms via my only agent mission available. Kinda tedious, but interesting. Now i have no idea what to do.
-
Either directx 9c or updated nvidia drivers fixed this. Read on if interested, otherwise ignore.
Nightmare trying to get this game going so far. Can anybody identify this error?

P.S. I can't post on the Eve forums until I have a character even though they already have my money.:rolleyes:
-
Sandman,
I'm starting to get the hang of this I game (I think). Would you guys mind another player in your corp? I haven't played AH in about a year. If thats an issue, I understand.
My Eve handle is Apachesan.
-
Mind? Not at all. We're open to all. C'mon in!
-
Sandman,
Be advised that Apache is a...................
POST potato!!!
-
Creamo,
A firmware update to my router has at least permitted me to telnet to the server as per their support instructions yay!
But of course my 14 day trial expired in the meantime...
I am trying to get a trial key and I will try the game out
SKurj
-
Bought a condor and have been killing the easy rats in 0.8 and running missions. I will try to look you guys up tomorrow and join the corp. I wouldn't mind getting involved with mining teamwork if we have any advanced miners running the show.
Gorskii <- Eve and AH handle
P.S. I picked caldori for race
-
Heyas
Got it working, got in the game last night.
Found HQ, how do I join the corp?
SKurj
-
I put in an app last nite to join the corp. There is a menu on the right hand side of the screen that you can click on CORPS and then scroll thru them and apply to join.
The training thing still confuses me a little. I found it under the character screen but someone was saying earlier in this thread that you should train Learning and Learning skills first but I didnt see those in my options for training. I just had stuff like engineering, mining, etc. Am I looking in the wrong place?
By the way my in game name is Slingshot Jones.

For any skill that you don't already have, you must purchase the textbook. You can find these for sale in the Market under the "Skills" tab.
-Sik
-
I thought I checked the market for skills also, but I still didnt see any that had anything to do with Learning. Most of the stuff I saw was high dollar high tech skills.
-
Skurj, I should have added I did my firmware upgrade too, but I'm almost sure I couldn't connect until after that last patch. At least I saw you online a bit ago, so seems like were both in.
I put in an app with the local AH Corp, no responce yet though.
This is pretty addicting stuff, even at the boring stages so I'm just going to subscribe, and give it a month or two.
-
I saw you on last nite Creamo....I tried to send you a message but my computer farted and I got kicked out before I could get a reply from you.
-
Sorry bout the the application. I wasn't on last night to approve. I'll have an offer letter on the way tonight, Creamo. Welcome!
Sling, you can do a search for skill books... the radio button at the top right of the market screen allows you to limit your searching/browsing to the station, the system, the constellation, and the region. If you can't find a particular book in the region, your only option is to move to another region and search again.
-
Thanks Sandman, I'm mining Scordite or whatever it is off Perimiter II-1, and being extra entertained watching my wallet increase, and being more confused.
I saw Sling, but I tried to dock and let my skills increase as I was at work, but appearently that doesn't work. Farts.
I'll save the AH BBS Political Forum much asked questions, and join your BBS site. This learning curve is something else.

Did you get my application last nite too Sandman?
I am an idiot...I didnt even think about enlarging my search to the region.....I was just checking that station.

I applied as well.

This sucks.
Ripsnore would have approved all our applications, and slept with all our wives while we were in battle, while putting in an in- ground pool his Ripler youth will swim and become Olympic Champions by 7th grade, or else.
Damn it Sandman, can't you be a proper C/O?!
-
Is there an approval that needs to be done to join the BBS also? Been waiting all day for a confirmation email.
-
You should have received an email (almost immediately).

Damn yahoo.....it was in my junk email box. Guess they thought you were a purveyor of porn.

I could be. Want some? ;)

Sandman, I haven't received the approval email yet. i subscribed to the AHSF BBS this (Thursday) morning.
Also, I submitted an app to the corp. Do I have to quit the default corp before I can join AHSF?

1. The email message was probably rejected as spam by your mail service. I've updated your account as active. Try it. If it doesn't work, I'll have to delete the account and shut off the email verification to get you in.
2. No, you don't have to quit the default corp.
