So today is my first day on the forums. I am having a great laugh out of some of the topics, but there are some terms I do not understand. Ill put a few down now, and will probably add more later that I do not understand.
Ganking:
Scraming:

Ganking:
Scraming:
War Decking:
Ganking: In high-security space (the number in the upper left of the screen by the system name being 0.5 or greater, color coded yellow, green, or blue) there is an inter-capsuleer police force called CONCORD that will lock you down and blow you up if you shoot someone outside of some very restricted situations (basically, they stole some loot from you first).
If you decide "**** it, this guy needs to die anyhow" and just fit enough damage to kill your target before the police show up (and then laugh evilly as they destroy your ship, assumably) then you're ganking.
Scramming: There is a module for mid-slot called a warp scrambler. If you activate it on an opponent (and they're in range, and haven't fitted their own countermeasures) then they cannot activate a Microwarp Drive or their main warp drive, meaning they can't warp away unless they can escape the range of the module first. There is another module called a disruptor that has larger range, but costs more capacitor to use and is easier to counter.
The general term for using either module is "pointing".
War Decking: When your War has a lawn, and it's nice, but you'd really like a place to sit in your rocking chair with a beer and chat with a neighbour, you might want to install some war decking.
War Deccing: If an entire corporation has pissed off your entire corporation, you can file an official declaration of war with CONCORD. The space cops will respect this and will allow members of your corporations to shoot each other in high sec without their usual response of killing everyone. Since only one party has to pay the fees to maintain a declaration of war and it gets less expensive the smaller the target corporation is, a lot of very small, PvE-focused corps regard being war-decced as harassment, because a lot of PvE-focused small corps have a disproportionate number of stupid people, apparently. |

DPS is damage per second (fairly self explanatory)
plexes (short for complex) are combat sites that are found in space
PLEXes are Player License EXtensions which are an in-game item which can be bought for ISK (from other players who buy them from CCP for $) and will add a month of gametime to your account when sold
The differences between different corps depends a lot on the different corps in question, you'll have to be more specific
And bumping is posting an empty response to a thread to bring it back to the top of the forum |

What are incursions:
Bumping is the process by which you collide with a ship at high speed. This does not do damage but can accomplish two things. 1) It can push a ship off alignment, preventing it from going into warp. 2) It can push a ship away from an object,such as a gate or station, preventing the target from jumping /docking.
Incursions are PVE combat. Sanshas Nation NPC show up in a constellation, prevent capital ships from jumping in, nerf bounty rewards and module effectiveness. Players have to work together to force them out. CONCORD pays quite a lot for completing the special PVE sites there. After enough sites are killed, an NPC mothership appears. Killing it means the incursion is over. There is a fine line between a post and a signature. |

What is bumping:
What are incursions:
Bumping: The physics engine is basically a modified system written with the computers of 2000-2002 in mind, so when ships collide it's treated as more or less a completely elastic collision of perfectly spherical billiard balls. Because of how momentum/kinetic energy works, this means that if you get a heavy enough ship going fast enough, ramming into a lighter ship can alter its trajectory pretty significantly.
In theory, this can be a good tool to keep people from warping away (keep bumping them so they can't get that 3/4 speed in the right direction to start warp) or to disrupt the orbital path of a small ship (instant death for frigates, frequently). Since pointing achieves both of these goals much more easily, in effect bumping is much more something that's just done for laughs nowadays, though it's still sometimes used for the usual purpose with ships that can't otherwise be locked down, like capital ships.
Incursions: Most of the NPCs in the game have an AI developed in 2002 or so (or whatever halfway through the development cycle would be) that hasn't been improved much sense. They aggress to the first thing the see/the first thing that shoots them and dumbly keep plugging away whether it works or not.
Sleepers (w-space encounters) have an actual rudimentary AI, but balance it by having rather predictable resistance profiles and limited module use.
Incursions are (mostly) high-sec/low-sec events where NPCs with the sleeper AI (but less restricted ship types/modules) will show up and take over a system for a couple of days, until people fight them off. To encourage people to actually kill them and drive them off, if you don't fight them a meter gradually ticks up that reduces ship stats and so on.
At least, this is what it means mechanically. There's a lore explanation and it's not uninteresting but I'd rather not wall of text too hard. |

Thank you, and I would assure you, I am not trolling, if you notice, I'm still in the beginner faction and alliance. Also, I usually find it better to have an actual person tell me what something is about, instead of searching through tons of sites.
People so far such as lost grey beard seem truely intelligent about what they are saying, and are giving me an easy to the point way of explaining things. |

Are people talking about actual thing in the intergalactic summit thread:
Wormholes come in two flavors:
Inter-system: you go into a wormhole in normal space and you come out somewhere else.
w-space: you go into a wormhole and come out in an uncharted system with no jump gates.
In the case of w-space, there are still resources to be extracted, etc, but the only way in or out is through the wormholes, which occasionally disappear and reform in a different place in the system, and lead back to a different, randomly-selected other system that may be in normal-space or another w-space system.
Thus, if you want to really set up an industrial operation in such a wormhole, you can't rely on the stations or bringing things in through jump gates, and have to set up your own manufacturing and so on using PoSes, planetary interaction, standing fleets, and so on, and constantly be ready to defend if someone else in whatever random system you're connected to that day thinks your resources look tasty.
This is further complicated by the fact that you can only move a certain amount of mass through a WH before it collapses and resets, meaning that the usual blob/capital fleet tactics of 0.0 space don't apply.
I guess the short way to say it is that WH corps are end-game for small-gang PvP and self-sufficiency enthusiasts. |

Unknown Space is only reachable via wormholes. Wormholes are temporary random connections between systems; they have a time limit and a mass limit before they collapse.
Unknown Space is called w-space (wormhole space). Known space (hisec, lowsec, and nulsec) is called k-space.
W-Space is -1.0 security. Sovereignty cannot be claimed. Neither ship jump engines nor jumpclones can be used to enter/leave w-space, only wormholes. W-space contains no stations, and is populated by NPC known as Sleepers, which are the toughest NPC in EVE.
A wormhole corp or w-space corp is a corp that has taken-up residence in a w-space system. |

Kind of odd not to know what DPS is.

Heh, I'm going to keep answering, and then save a link to this thread somewhere and just post that when there's a jargon question.
Room: A mission often is in sections separated by acceleration gates, primarily so that ship size restrictions can be enforced (so you can't bring a capital ship into a L4 mission, can't use a T2 cruiser to do level 1s, etc) and also to make it slightly harder for someone who wants to steal your mission loot to find you.
If you've gone through a mission acceleration gate, you're in a room.
Scanning: Can't really be explained without a huge wall of text. For a practical demonstration of what it is, look it up on youtube, there are several quite excellent scanning tutorials. For a theoretical explanation, look up quadrangulation on wikipedia or something.
There are two basic types of probes, generic scanning probes which will help you find exploration sites, and combat scanning probes that let you find people.
Training: Go to the market window, make sure it's set to show things in the entire region, and type the skill you're looking for into the search box. Right-click one of the results, choose "set destination". Your autopilot can now take you to where the relevant book is being sold.
More generally, you'll want to search in a caldari region to look for caldari skills, etc. At least yo buy them from NPCs, nice folks will also sometimes cart some books over and resell them in other regions (for a profit, of course). |

Quick question,
I know mining ships have a greater hull space, but when two ships are mining, one mining and one bringing back to a station, shouldnt the one with greater slots do it, and do mining ships have more slots or something?
Also, are regular items more effective that civilian items, I know it is a stupid question but are they? |

All right, one more wall of text, then I'm going to stop bumping this thread before it starts getting annoying and you can use the search bar to your upper right instead.
Aggression mechanics: when you jettison something, it goes into a can that floats in space. If someone takes something from it and they're not a member of your corporation, you're allowed to attack them without CONCORD coming to arrest you. Same if you take something from a wreck that they own. There should be a pop-up warning if you're about to take something you don't own, plus the container will be yellow (as opposed to white = it's yours, blue = it's anyone's).
Stocks: You don't buy them, shares exist solely as a way to apportion voting rights in a corporation or alliance, essentially used only when you need to get rid of a CEO who's gone AWOL for a few months and elect a new one. They're not a financial instrument in the sense or real-world stock.
Captain's Quarters: Don't bother, there's a "science and planets" option on the left-bar menu in space or in the hangar that works better than the awkward walking in station stuff. Most everyone I know has disabled captain's quarter's entirely, at this point int he game it's quite pointless.
Rigs: As a week-old or younger player, don't bother. When you do bother, just read the descriptions. The majority of rigs give a 10% bonus to something and create a 10% penalty for something else. The most frequently used rigs for new players are energy grid rigs, both because running low on power grid or capacitor is a common problem and because energy grid rigs have no drawback.
Ships: As a _really_ new player, you need about two ships: the ship you're flying, and the identical ship you'll replace it with when the ship you're flying blows up. As a moderately new player, you'll probably have an industrial flying around, a destroyer for salvaging, and ether a destroyer or a cruiser as your main mission ship, plus as many frigates as you bloody well please. There's no set number, and if you feel you're getting to have too many just sell some of them. (Right click, sell item)
HACs, dec, facemelting, poping, and tackleing: a type of ship you don't need to worry about yet, short for "war declaration" discussed previously, colloquialism for doing a lot of damage esp. with lasers, your ship or pod blowing up, and another way to say "pointing" or "scramming".
In the last case, people sometimes use "tackle" to refer to the process of flying a ship that's primarily dedicated to preventing a target from escaping and use pointing to refer to the specific module.
Jita: It's a system which is a high-sec trade hub, possibly the largest of the high-sec trade hub depending on the day of the week, the phase of the moon, and which runes the bones show inverted. Because there's no such thing as a "set price" for any item (well, exception: skill books for lower-tier skills are sold by NPCs and thus have mostly set prices) the majority of people sort of treat what something is selling for in Jita as a standard price by which they normalize their data to figure profit margins and so one.
Research and industry: These are the two things you can do with blueprints. Industry means taking the blueprint and making whatever the blueprint says it makes. You do this from a manufacturing station, which can only handle so many jobs (slots) at a time. Research involves a similar setup in terms of finding a station and putting the blueprint in a slot until the job is done, but the outcome is a new blueprint with different (better) characteristics than the one you put in. In terms of the lowest level of technology, it's as simple as sticking just the blueprint in and then getting basically the same thing back out with a shorter manufacture time (or efficiency). In terms of the higher level of technology (T2) you have to sort of throw a bunch of components in there and cross your fingers.
You can do manufacturing and research at either NPC stations, or player-owned starbases with a manufacturing/research module attached.
OK, I think that's about all I've got. Hopefully this thread will make up for the fiddling with the forums over the last year destroying a lot of the old reference material's accessibility. |

HAC is short for "Heavy Assault Cruiser" officially it's "Heavy Assault Ship"
The frigate counterpart is the AF, short for "Assault Frigate", officially "Assault Ship"
As a preemptive: Logi is referring to logistics. Sometimes this refers to the logistics of bringing in fuel for a starbase or getting things to and from market hubs but it usually refers to Logistics ships liek the Guardian, Scimitar, Basilisk, and Onerios and these ships are you basic healer type class that you might see in other MMORPGs
There is a plantaey interaction tutorial on CCP's youtube page that should explain just about everything.
As for Captains Quarters as it stands right now it's just an alternative to the hanger view. Most people prefer the hanger view as it feels easier to navigate and Captains Quarters isn't very well optimized so it slows computers down. The eventual goal of Captain's Quarters is to give people a way of being able to see their character and walk around with it as up until the time CQ came out in Summer of 2011 we only ever had just the character picture we use in chat and on the forums here.
As CCP continues working on the project we will eventually be able to go out to the station and hang out with other people and maybe even be able to hang out with them in our own quarters, but in the mean time CQ doesn't add any extra functionality over the hanger view. The Drake is a Lie |

Stuff you ask here are either explained in the tutorials or easily searched on Google.
So stop wasting our time, which is better spent on New players that have genuine questions.
And before you start but I'm in the newb corp / alliance, so is my 2 year old Alt as it never moved corporations, means you stay with the new player corp.

I have to ask, is it worth mining even though I don't have a mining ship, or running missions.

Also, is it normal for my launcher to take about 20 minutes to update? He says "You've already had breakfast." I ask "But what about second breakfast?" |

do what you find fun.
edit-- if you have a Bantam, Burst, Navitas, or Tormentor, then you have a mining frigate (they all have bonuses to mining yield). Upgrades would include the Osprey, Vexor, Scythe or Arbitrator (cruisers with bonuses to mining or drone mining yields), and then the ORE barges (skip the Procurer though).

Economy is in a state of flux right now. They just removed 40% (estimated) of the sources of minerals today (drone alloys, and Meta0 trash loot), so there's a bit of speculation going on there... and it's driving the prices up on everything.

The part of that your friend said that market is FUBAR gave you away. Why ask such stupid questions when you have a friend who plays.

Fed up with it, reported as trolling. Not the best way to show the genuine new player game community how EVE is and works.
As for OP again, go annoy that imaginary friend you keep talking about. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

Again, EVE requires you to do stuff yourself. If you don't like to do that and are just a lazy little teenager go play another game which is made by Blizzard Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

Dam you spoiled it, I confirm that you should mine in a hulk during Hulkageddon.

Have you played any other MMOS? Have you ever been on any forums on the internet? OP is a standard forum term not particular to EVE. I saw earlier you don't know what DPS is. Please. |

No. But you can fit a AB and a MWD at the same time but you can't use them at the same time. This is known as dual prop. The Drake is a Lie |

What do people mean when they drop a container, and then suddenly are allowed to attack someone?
If someone steal from your can, you are allowed to fire at him. It's often a noob trap because if you fire at him he can fire back. Those guys are called "can flippers"
How do you buy stocks?
You can't. A corp administrator, or an actual share older give it to you(they can ask money for). But there is no market
Also, how do you use the mining planetary thing that is found in the captains quarters?
Read the wiki about planetary interaction and planetary production. Will be easier.
Can I also get some info about rigging, the wiki doesn't give good info on it in my opinion.
Rigs are modules that can't be uninstalled from a ship without destroying them(like implants from your brain).
Just adding this on, how many ships does the average noob have? The reason I'm asking is because I have 7
There is no ship limit. You can get as much ship as you want and have either 1 or 100 is not a problem. There is no "normal" amount like "after 3 days I should have 2 ships, after 2 weeks 23 ships..." etc. buy the ships you need. |

Neither Eve or it community will take you by the hand. Most of your questions are VERY obvious and most people figured it in a few hours or so.
Even more than 8 months in the game, I still use google every day, for things that I'm not sure or don't know. Yeah, eve is that complicated. So if you are not ready to do some research by yourself to understand this game, you should stop to play right now.
To be fair, with the old forums gone there hasn't been a good "here's what the hell the jargon means" thread in the new search index. Figured that, whether the OP is serious or not, sticking all this **** in one thread means the "search forums" box is slightly less completely useless.
I'm big on in-game (yes, the official forums count) help being available without resorting to Google, which gives you half irrelevant answers and half troll answers. Especially regarding fitting, oh lord the battleclinic fits. |

We found his main I think
Old forums are still available through
www.eve-search.com (thanks to the Veldspar King) general google will also find you a lot of player made blogs about almost everything. And last but not least (and already mentioned like 4 times) there is the Glossary page on the EVE wiki explaining about 95% of the terms used in EVE Inject your skillbook before you leave the station.

I agree with that, but most of the OP's questions could have been found easily in Evelopedia -DPS, Incursions, crosstraining, WH, and the OP definition- It doesnt requiere very hard research to find those info by yourself and most of his question would have been answered by tutorial, pedia, or forum search, without using google. There is also a (new I think) forum category named "Wormhole", which would have also answered some questions with a very little search since it is accessible from the forum main page and is the second category on top.
Obviously the OP don't want to search by himself, and this, mean that he is not ready for EVE(to me). Like I said, players can't take him by the hand every time he face a problem. Plus he is in that game for more than 6 weeks, he should have figured some things now, not post less-than-one-week-old-newbies questions.
At this point I think the best way to help him is to say "look at the item attribute", "look on Evelopedia". Giving him free answer like this do not help him, as he will always refer to this tread or start a new one and he will never be autonomous.
My point is not to not helping him, it's that he should and must do some work by himself. |

To reply to your question about the Intergalactic Summit, it's a roleplay forum. Not everything in it is true. Some people even claim things that just can't happen within the confines of the game (Because, hey, its Roleplay!)
We have fun, though. |
