So I talked a friend into getting the game the other night and 5 minutes into the game he has already become a pirate.
He had no idea of how anything in this game works, nothing, but as sson as he's born, he undocks and goes straight for an asteroid belt. He comes over the comm and asks me what a little yellow diamond shape on the overview means and I told him that it was a cargo can, he says ok and goes silent.
About 40 minutes later he asks me how much Veldspar is worth and what to do with it. I assumed he used the miner on his ship to go mine a roid, so I ask him how much he has. H erattles of some number and says it has a "k" next to the number. Now I'm intrigued because I'm sure he has mined thousands of units worht of Veldspar already. I told him to just sell it and tell me how much he made. He sells all he has and comes over comm and says "Around 200,000 isk, plus I got some more stuff out of that can outside".
Now we are an anti-pirate corp so of course I say "what can? what did you do". I warp to his system and out into the asteroid belt where he is, he was taking ore from a can with the miner right next to it. Apparantly he had found some other stuff in a can next to a station and apparantly this "can" was actually a Battleship wreck. Needless to say, within his first hour of the game, he was already a pirate and made 2.3 million isk off the BS wreck loot and from raiding a miners can, who was obviously afk, for over 2 hours.
later that evening he was killed 3 times outside of a station for trying to loot a bait can and didn't understand the whole "aggression countdown" concept. However, he did finally manage to dock with the goods, and since he was in a rookie ship the whole time he technically didn't lose any capital. Of course, being full of himself he just has to send the guy a message over local saying " consider this tax for my rookie ship b****!".
Huzzah to new beginnings.

People are STILL doing that at rookie stations? Petition that as an exploit. Not because your buddy was harmed but baiting newbs just really is lame.
Other than that funny story...looking forward to the day he convoes you asking where those gate guns came from.

no it was a wreck...thats legit...if it was a can then its baiting...if its a wreck its espesh a BS wreck..it was battle loot :)
Glad to see a newb to the game not whining that he is 'behind' or other crap...and getting on top....
He will go far in this game if he continues...
YAY to him --------------------

Tell him to train for a rifter and tell him GL in his future adventures, sounds fun.

We're both Amarrian, so I got him trained up and into a Punisher last night. I also taught him how to bait can people. He's already tried, albeit unsuccessfully, on an 8 day old pilot, but alas the pilot didn't bite.
Yes, Rancer should have a new resident soon.

Just like when you set children free into the world with no supervision, more often than not, they won't do the right thing. But that what I like about EVE, it gives everyon... oooohhh Candy
