Safety & Security : One should never fully rely on Concord to be the absolute protectors of High Sec. Especially those who are starting mining ,salvaging and hauling careers - NEVER should you go AFK for long periods of time. PVP players will notice this easily and will time their attack with precision and often will have Destroyers, [Battle]/Cruisers or even Battleships with cheap but efficient fittings that can rip a mining ship apart within seconds. Have your GÇÿOverview set so you can see these particular ship types in the system you are in so when one warps into the field, youGÇÖll know it right away. Concord should never be relied upon to protect you. Always be on alert and have an escape root planned when you come face to face with them targeting your ship. As quoted from the movie Zombieland When in doubt, know your way out!
Flying Your Ship : Keep this in mind GÇô Just because you can fly a particular ship doesnGÇÖt necessarily mean you can operate it to its fullest potential. A battleship is not what every new capsuleer should aim for. Go for a frigate or cruiser and make sure you can fly it well. Buying a battleship and then losing it because you canGÇÖt operate it is a stupid way to lose ISK.
Trust : As someone said before in this forum post... Never put your full trust on anyone, in particular - strangers. In this case; should someone randomly ask you for >RR< (Remote Repair) -- Do not accept it. Accepting a fleet invite or inviting them to fleet to remote repair them with drones or a module fitted to your ship to repair them is a bad move. Should the person who is asking to be RR'd and they happen to have a friend with an aggression count down on - RRing them is an act that will grant the person who has this aggressive stance with them to attack you without the reaction of Concord.
Demands of ISK : Everyone on EVE will find themselves in a situation one day where they are faced in a situation of involuntary combat with another player. At some point, you will be warp scrambled and trapped from escaping and he or she who is attacking you will open a conversation window with you (the victim) and will demand a certain amount for your release. This option is entirely yours to decide what the outcome is however there are two main ones to consider.
Lose your ship GÇô Lose your ISK GÇô or GÇô Lose your ship and Keep your ISK. ThereGÇÖs no guarantee that when you pay them their demands that they will let you go. Not everyone on EVE honors his/her word.
Know Your Enemies & Allies : At some point in your EVE experience you will encounter griefers, ganks, trolls, etcGǪ They could or could not be following you but if it concerns your mission or what you are doing and they start picking on you one day GÇô Keep them tabbed! Cause without doubt they will be watching you. Add them and their corp to a particular standing you deem appropriate. Look up their corp history, their background, and their alliances and mark those too! Chances are they will have friends and alts in those corps for scouting and planning attack strategies against you. However when you have these corps marked you will know whether or not if they are in the system by keeping an eye on local. ItGÇÖs a safety precaution that could save your ship. Always know who youGÇÖre dealing with.
Expect the Worst : The hardest part to explain through words but probably the most important point anyone can tell you whoGÇÖs had experience in EVE. GÇ£Never fly what you cannot afford to loseGÇ¥. This expression relates not just to ships but to your assets (loot, cargo, etcGǪ) Never can you be truly certain about keeping it. Keep this notion in your head that, GÇÿWhat you might have today can get destroyed/stolen tomorrow or wheneverGÇÖ. Be prepared to lose and youGÇÖll be prepared for the expenses consequent the loss. Keep going, donGÇÖt give up and youGÇÖll get back on your feet in no time.
Good Luck! |
