Scarface Virpio	Posted - 2011.07.05 03:14:00 - [1] Hi there! I am new to eve (Did try the trial in 2005, not really worth mentionning) and I am looking for a mentor to point me in the right direction and the ask toooons of questions. =) No I didnt do the tutorial, I do play MMO to interact with people, not to play alone with a computer voice... If this irritate you, please don't apply to be my mentor. =) I started the game 3 days ago and, well I am a little lost. I browsed a little the Item Database and found out a website (battleclinic) to have and idea of what I needed to do. I just bought myself a Comorant that I fitted with 7x 75mm + 1 Malkuth Standard Missile. I also added 2 Small Azeotropic Shield and 1x Braced Multispectral Shield. With my 3 Small Capacitor rig, I can maintain power with everything active, but start to loose some when I run the Afterburner. (That said, I don't loose power fast, no big deal here...) So I went ahead and try to find something to blow up. Now, In combat it was quite pathetic. I didnt loose, but Half of the time I wasnt able to target the ennemy, I got a message saying I already targetted the boss (but didnt) or I had a message saying that my maximum target (of 0) was reached... When I manage to fired, then thing did blow up. My problem is being inactive for 95% of the fight. When I face the target, I am unable to attack but when I leave the area (target behind me) I am able to target and attack. Is there a specific position I need to keep for me to attack? Also, I have this 'Jamming' progression bar that loops, even when I am not in combat. Someone or something is jamming my signal? Is this what may me loose my target?
K'iran	Posted - 2011.07.05 03:52:00 - [2] Why put in effort to help someone who just stated he can't be bothered to put in some of his own effort to get ahead?

This is not the best attitude. Mate join a newbie corp / alliance Eve uni is one of the best known they will help you out a lot.

Did you took the time to read the entire post, or just the line where you could troll it? Having a fully gear cormoran, doing my loadout on battleclinic, using rig to create a stable capacitor fitting and buying item on the market after three day isnt enough "putting effort in it"? Yeah sure, I could still be stuck in the tutorial. No need to reply if your not interested.

Here is my loadout btw: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/54075-Cormorant-Cormoran-PVE-Introduction.html I noticed this similar loadout: http://eve.battleclinic.com/loadout/31137-Cormorant-125mm-Railgun-Level-1-Mission-Cormorant.html Isnt the Screen Reinforcer rig remove the ability to leave the multispectral shield online?
Jose Black Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2011.07.05 09:09:00 - [6] I enjoy mentoring people, but there's always the risk of destroying the fun of finding stuff out themselves. Also judging by the times of your posts our time zones differ quite a lot. Maybe you should add information about your online time to your request. Check Mentors and HelpMyMissions ingame channels for help and maybe a mentor. I know is a lot more channels that possibly would be helpful, but I know these two examples. One thing about your fit catched my eye: The assault missile launcher is a medium sized module and meant to be fit onto cruisers and battlecruisers only. If you use a standard missile launcher - which is the same thing just with a slower rate of fire - you'd save a lot of power grid for other stuff. If you have that weird progress bar showing and are getting messages about 0 target count you're encountering Gurista pirates. Within missions they're called pithi, pithum and the like. They do electronic warfare called jamming which disables your sensors. It is chance based so you can get around it by just waiting. You could fit (a) eccm module(s) to raise your sensor strength, which lowers their chance to successfully jam you. You could also team up with someone else so that one of you can happily shoot them while the other one is getting jammed.
Antario T'nar	Posted - 2011.07.05 11:02:00 - [7] 1. DO THE TUTORIAL if not for the learning, do it for the isk and ships you get 2. apply to eve-uni 3. ??? 4. profit

Yeah sure, I could still be stuck in the tutorial. This means nothing. Good luck. You're probably going to quit the game within a week, though.

Lady Go Diveher	Posted - 2011.07.05 11:58:00 - [10] Originally by: Scarface Virpio No I didnt do the tutorial Stopped reading here. As does everyone who values their time. If you can't be ****ed to learn the basics, why should we bother to help? There is NOTHING more frustrating than being being asked questions that are easily answered by looking at the tools already given to you to learn. "RTFM" as they say. Also? I just tricked you into reading my signature.
gfldex	Posted - 2011.07.05 12:21:00 - [11] Originally by: Scarface Virpio Also, I have this 'Jamming' progression bar that loops, even when I am not in combat. Someone or something is jamming my signal? Is this what may me loose my target? The jamming message is bugged (for years). Ignore it. Have a look at your overview. If an NPC is jamming you it got a small circle at the right side of the overview. A comorant is quite easy to jam and you don't really got much options to counter that with fittings. You can contact me in game if you have further questions. -- IF YOU PLAY WITH SONY YOU PLAY WITH ******!
Scarface Virpio	Posted - 2011.07.05 12:37:00 - [12] Originally by: Lady Go Diveher Stopped reading here. As does everyone who values their time. Yet you time is "valuable" enough to come ***ing it my post. Please. don't just drop by to derail my post like newbie. Go spent you so valuable time elsewhere. Originally by:** Jose Black I enjoy mentoring people, but there's always the risk of destroying the fun of finding stuff out themselves. ... Ahhhhhhhh, thank you thank you and thank you! I agree with you, I am looking more for specific question about Loadout, website to do research, place I should explore first... Jamming: Yes, I did some research to figure out I was doing pirate run in 0.5 sector, and my very first encounter happend to be with electronic warfare. As I am a Caldari, I discover I needed to go with ECCM - Gaussian (or something like that) so I will fit one tonight. For the missile launcher, thanks for the tips, didnt knew that! As for 'raising money' that someone suggested, I bought the game then bought 2 plex (thinking they where game time) but, quickly understood they where in-game items that sell very well also. So I am a noob with 600 millions isk. Looking forward to improve that coromoran! =)

So I am a noob with 600 millions isk. Looking forward to improve that coromoran! =) After all it's the same with that 600m as with too much guidance: You lose out on some fun - in my opinion. I once made a second character. I could have transferred hundrets of millions of ISK to him to have him start easy mode. But I didn't and it was fun seeing him grow by itself.

Scarface Virpio	Posted - 2011.07.05 23:00:00 - [15] Originally by: gfldex Please _do_not_ contact me in game. My god, just DONT offer help... is this really that hard? There is really good medication out there for ADD. Originally by: Jose Black After all it's the same with that 600m as with too much guidance: You lose out on some fun - in my opinion. You are absolutely right, I will probably invest the extra ISK I have, thanks to my mistake with the PLEX system, in a corp or something like that. Will do some research to better understand the option but I am sure there is plenty of larger project player are working on for wich my ISK can be usefull. At that stage, they are useless for me as I don't have any skill to buy stuff anyway related to that. I have to say in game people where really nice and fun to play with, looking forward for my next mission run! =) Thanks for the help!

I would join "helpmymission" and I would look up Eve university, two great places for help. Now just make sure to use everyone's time wisely, but don't hesitate to ask. Also feel free to message me in game, Best AG Originally by: CCP Soundwave I'll tell you what I believe we should never sell; Anything that messes with the competitive balance of the game. No + stat ammo, no + stat ships and anything of that type.

Also feel free to message me in game, Thank you, you'r really kind! =) I will take a look at EVE University, I glance at it and it seem pretty solid source of information and I just found out that in it: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?feature=iv&p=PLB9A647F3121DFC21&annotation_id=annotation_32613 Now that's a tutorial I was looking for! Thank you a thousand times.

You're probably going to quit the game within a week, though. Eve lesson 1, the forum is full of trolls who don't actually play the game. So you admit that you are one of these? I'm an Iteron v pilot. Do you have any useful skills? Just curious.
Fechsie	Posted - 2011.07.06 04:54:00 - [19] To the troll . . . I mean OP. Cormorant is spelled very much like it looks. If you had one, you could do a show info to see that. Your grasp of the English language seems rather shaky, but still . . . .

I made a mistake on the third time. And my loadout on battle clinic was clear on what ship I trying to fit. Now, sorry for you if you never dealt with foreign player around the world but at the very least, I do try to talk English and not *****ing in other's forum. Especially in the "support and welcome forum" for new player. Please someone, ban this moron. Except just turning players away, I have no clue what the guy's is useful at here. There is many othersÆs responses that helped me a lot and was right on the target. I'm halfway to the Incarna video tutorial, it's pure gold. And thanks to all player who are serious about helping otherÆs one. Now my next target is try multiboxing the game. If I have created a Calderi Fighter Pilot, a good second class would be a Trader? Miner? Industrial? Is it legal to do multiboxing (2 accounts) in this game? I see it's discuss a lot, but officially supported?

It's about the same as with getting corrected about your spelling: If multiboxing was discussed while not being allowed someone would've shown up and mentioned it was against the TOS .
Ashgoz Kouvo	Posted - 2011.07.06 13:04:00 - [22] Is it really that hard to go out and inform yourself? Or are you just lazy?

I still suspect that you don't have one.
Drykor Minmatar Aperture Harmonics K162	Posted - 2011.07.06 16:22:00 - [24] Meh, I love explaining stuff and have done so to many people, but saying you didn't do the tutorial just because it's an MMO will really put off most people. Just because it's an MMO doesn't mean you can't take a few hours to learn the very basics. You come across as very arrogant for not taking the 'trouble' of helping yourself before asking for help. --- Drykor - AHARM
Coruso Malefactor	Posted - 2011.07.06 19:04:00 - [25] Originally by: Scarface Virpio No I didnt do the tutorial Alright, fair enough, you got a little impatient to get started. That's fine. But don't post on the forums when all your questions can be answered here, here, here, or potentially here. Once you have gone through all that information you should be ready... or... you can just do the tutorial
Scarface Virpio	Posted - 2011.07.06 20:53:00 - [26] Originally by: Drykor You come across as very arrogant for not taking the 'trouble' of helping yourself before asking for help. Well thatÆs unfair. I probably did twice the research any newbie has done. I did the trial and all introductions back when I played in 2005. I spend many hours doing my research, enough to build my skill properly, find my components, bought my first rig, test it out in combat and I came here with clear question about fitting, jamming and combat issue I had in my early exploration. And if it is not enough to prove I am serious or interested about playing the game, too bad mate. If my research and my level of English left you feel desecrated, attack, abuse, insult, horrified, disgraced, dishonored, violated, disobliged, offended, really I canÆt help you. I wonÆt change anything; I have a too much fun so far. The pace at which I am discovering the game is fun, the video tutorial is awesome, the mood and ambiance is addictive, the market trading is a real market system, with depth of trade - region supply and so much moreà And when IÆll have finish playing with the basic I will move on mission, corp and such. Then maybe the Incarna tutorial will be relevant at the point, will see! Originally by: Fechsie Sorry, you didn't spell it right the first time either. I still suspect that you don't have one. hum, yeahà so your theory is that I am new & clueless player, but built a working Cormorant loadout out of nowhere and come here to ask question about jamming combat problem in 0.5 sector, again, out of the blue as anyway I am still flying in circle at my initial station in a Caldari Shuttle gazing at the space with nothing else to do.
A Frost	Posted - 2011.07.06 22:10:00 - [27] Send me a mail in game and if your play time coincides with mine I may be able to help you.
