I know it was posted to an another topic, but there is a big guide called ISK out there, Massively just wrote a nice article about it: Eve evolved: The Industrial-Sized Knowledgebase It's more than 400 pages, contains almost everything about eve!
The "original" thread is here: Industrial-Sized Knowledgebase 2.01 ENG
For beginners : Must have!
URL to the guide is:
www.isktheguide.com
It's more than 400 pages. Shocked It's massive, would love to see it in Paper format.Razz

I was coming here to post this too!
The more publicity this gets, the more users, the better.
It really is a superlative guide to this game.

Edited by: Tranka Verrane on 02/09/2010 00:44:12 This guide tries to be both an informal guide and a repository of information, and fails on at least one count. It's beautifully laid out but unfortunately some of the translated English fails in its translation, so the thing reads stilted and awkward to a native speaker, and probably indecipherably to anyone else. Its a grand attempt but I suggest getting support from those with more experience of such Guides, Like Akita, next time.
Also the pushing of PayPal 'Donations' make me feel this is spam wrapped up as charity.
There are great guides around already. Don't try and overwhelm yourself with too much at once. Find a single niche and get good at that using specific guides, written and live, before moving on.

As stated, the English is a bit broken, but not to badly.
Excellent guide, even if the author's native language is not english.

Thank you for your honest words, in the case of translation (in partially) you have right. We will try to improve our (grammar, English etc.) skills and the whole guide too.
But what quoted: i never "pushed a donation button to anyone face".
On the page there is a little button (with not too bright colors) and i never asked / forced nobody to use.
So when somebody / anybody "spamming with that", thatĘs wasn't me, and i ask you please: report to me and to the ccp when somebody trying to get money with my name (or with the guide name).

It is an excellent guide that I wish I had when I started EVE.
I think others may be a bit too critical of it. Sure it isn't perfect, or 100% complete, but it offers a wealth of information in one place. Let's face it, no one guide will ever cover everything in EVE.

I already spotted mistakes and I wonder about copyright issues, but other than that this is a gorgeous and huge guide. Sol: A microwarp drive? In a battleship? Are you insane? They arenĘt built for this! Clear Skies - The Movie

If you start a thread and post several replies to it, or have just the text available separately, you can paste in the text of the guide (minus the images) there for people like myself to edit for you, which you can either choose to take up or not. As I said, it's a great attempt that falls a little short at present, but I wouldn't want to discourage you from trying.
The donation bit was just the prominence of the button on the main page. It has an aura of 'too good to be true' and the button just confirms prejudices. I would suggest moving it to an 'About' page or something, if you must have it. Or at least making the button something other than paypal, e.g.:

I like reading through guides like this when I see them, as there are usually 2-3 fundamentals that I didn't pickup somewhere else along the way.

Finally getting a chance to read through this.
It's definitely a great guide and I wouldn't be surprised if CCP bought the rights to this and improve upon it.
A couple of pieces of feedback;
The section on mining/manufacturing definitely had alot of grammar issues and as it progressed, it did become more difficult to understand what the author was communicating.
Since this is an ebook and people should print it out, I thought you could've gone done away with some of the heavy graphics since that takes up ink from our printers. That maybe too tough to go back and change now, but it's just a thought. I can certainly appreciate the design regardless. But just speaking from a standpoint of functionality.
Either way, great work!

Nice guide, I support this initiative.
However, it seems that the author(s) is not very well-versed in 0.0 and fleet warfare, no offense intended. The sections on 0.0 and especially on POSes have quite a few errors and outdated information.
Feel free to convo me in game, I can go through it with you if I have the time. ___________ EVE is dying! Now for real! |

Truth here.
One of Eve's CORE strengths is that it IS NOT just one game. A lot of vets only player a few narrow aspects of Eve (and if they are having fun, then they are playing Eve correctly...), so the guide gives good insight on the stuff they don't mess with much. If you don't think that matters, you are wrong.
And even when the guide talks of an area where a vet is well versed, it is detailed enough it might offer an insight or two.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

Ran it through the default//standard settings AdobePro9 PDF optimization cycle and it got reduced to 32.9 MB (win XP default zipped, 30.6 MB)... that's about half the size, and it matters... and can't tell any differences reading on a computer screen at 1600x1200 with 200% zoom, if there are any differences at all they probably only barely show up if you try to print it. I could upload it and post the link in here, but it would probably mess with your "download counter", and you guys probably also have the needed tools to make the exact same optimizations. If you don't, and you want to have full control over the counters too, please let me know, and I'll upload itto evefiles under a nondescript name and send you the link in an evemail or somesuch.

Read it in one sitting. Very pedagogical. Nice layout, great tables. Very detailed. Maybe you should try to put in a "dedicated" pvp section as well. All men are prepared to accomplish the incredible if their ideals are threatened. |

The PDF is awesome, have you thought about using Calibre Ebook (http://calibre-ebook.com/) to convert it to an ePub format for us iPhone/iPad users? I converted it myself so I have it on my phone to read at work, but an official version would be amazing!
