Are there any specific abbreviations that you are struggling with? If they aren't in the guide, just post here asking about them and I'm sure someone will come along and help

On a related note, this may be kind of a noob question here, but someone in chat called me 'such an alt', wondering what that means? In other gameworlds, 'alt' meant alternate character for the same player, is that what it means here?
Thanks!

Here are some off the top of my head:
BCU/BCS: Ballistic Control System CPR: Capacitor Power Relay SAR/MAR/LAR: Small/Medium/Large Armor Repairer PDU/PDS: Power Diagnostic System SPR: Shield Power Relay AB: Afterburner MWD: Microwarp Drive HS: Heat Sink CCC (rig): Capacitor Control Circuit
Long ago, anything that ends in "System" (BCS) used to end in "Unit" so some people still refer to them as BCU, PDU, etc.
Post any other specifics you are not sure of and someone will clear it up for you.

In EVE, probably 95% of the new, unskilled characters are just alts of other players, used for spying and scouting with little to no risk. Without knowing the context, the pilot who called you an alt probably assumed you were in the 95% instead of the 5% of truly new players.

It's a bunch of ships packed into a small space. Kinda like zebras, ships congregate for defensive and offensive purposes. It is, apparently, quite typical of fleet battles in EVE today.

To a certain extent, if the blob is large enough, it strains the server's capacity, induces lag and can even make the server crash or prevent more users from entering the system.
Some consider this an exploit.

From my guide.
The slang guide is here, it includes terms like these:
anti-pie: Anti-(player)pirate AU: Astronomical Unit- the distance from Sol to Earth is one AU, about 150 million km autopest: A Tempest(ship) that uses autocannons as its primary offensive weaponry BC: Battlecruiser
The weapon and module guide is here, it explains terms like:
Istab: Inertia stabilizers PDU: Power Diagnostic System RCU: Reactor control unit LAR: Large armor repair -
