Congratulations on breaking the ice in PvP, the first step is always the hardest and definitely the most important. Seeking the answers will definitely help you out more than getting frustrated and remaining confused, so props on that as well.
Your positive attitude combined with your willingness to seek answers and be a little dangerous is what will make you a fantastic pilot, keep it up. Also yes, most of us suck at this game, so trying to learn what you can learn will make you significantly better than most other players.
Good luck out there in space and if you ever want some PvP practice you can always find me in space and duel, I'm not the greatest PvPer out there but we all have lessons we can share.

I find this is a better metaphor:
Highsec is like a hunting preserve. Yeah, there's game, but there's no hunt and you have to pay fees when you're done.
Lowsec is like the woods around a city. You run into the occasional wild animal but need a licence and it isn't free.
Nullsec is like the true wilderness. No rules, and you best be able to hunt, because you aren't on top of the foodchain anymore.

"Not understanding" is pretty much the definition of 'n00b.' But by even trying, and then seeking answers to those things that aren't understood? LIGHT YEARS beyond those who never try at all. Many of whom have been playing for years.
Crapping on a n00b who demonstrates such admirable characteristics, however? D+¬class+¬.

Tah'ris Khlador wrote:Hi there! It was me you aggressed.
You gained the following three timers:
1. Limited Engagement
As soon as you aggress a legal target, you gain a limited engagement timer. This can also be created by accepting a duel request. It essentially just gives you 5 mins to extend the engagement with the target and allows you to shoot freely without goign suspect or criminal yourself.
2. Weapons Timer
Any aggressive action you take will earn you a weapons timer of 1 minute. This timer will prevent you from docking, jumping (except WHs), ejecting, or switching ships. Performing logistics that would generate any timer for you will also earn a weapons timer (I.E. inheriting one for remote repairing someone else)
3. Log-off Timer
Any aggressive action done to you or by you will generate a 15 minute timer that will prevent you from logging off safely in space. If you have to log off in space, you always want to make sure this goes away first or you may find yourself dead. An exception might be logging off in a POS.
I hope you enjoyed the little encounter. I wouldn't have killed you due to your age, but I do like to send newbs scurrying when they aggress. The bounty you pointed out is because I have a tendency to **** people off.

Last I checked two out of those three timers still apply in nullsec and have the same exact effect.

Sadly it usually takes more than one bomb to take out a frigate. And anyone that is clueless enough to bomb themselves probably wouldn't be able to execute a coordinated multi-bomb attack. |

I know pretty well that if you have a hound MWD into its own bomb it will blow up.
If your MWD is not on then the bomb damages you then you will survive.

Guess I was just unlucky and his MWD cycled off before my bomb went off.
Glad the other guy's died, however. :) |

Sort of like that line in the Terminator, eh? "And they absolutely will not stop, EVER, until you are trolled into oblivion!"
So to update this thread with yet another boring nooblet story for anyone interested in the life of a noob.
So yesterday I was flying around and saw a ship I'd never seen before leaving a station. I looked it up and it was some kind of npc convoy ship. In fact, a convoy was apparently forming to shuttle stuff from one station to another. I quickly pulled up some web pages to read about how this all works. It seems that they are only safe to attack under certain conditions, those conditions being they are entering a station vs. leaving one, and the station owner is the 'right one' so to speak.
At any rate I followed this convoy to where it was going. As it was arriving at the destination I wasn't 100% sure the sender wasn't also the receiver, but decided "NO GUTS NO GLORY!" so opened fire with the same destroyer in the first story. No station guns fired on me, I was able to kill all 4 ships.
There was way too much booty to fit into my cargo space (that's what SHE said... when pulling on her pants, heh), so I was making runs back and forth to offload it at a station, when lo and behold I see another ship displaying curiosity in my booty (I mean pirate booty, of course). I didn't like this of course, and since this thread taught me to study and memorize the rules of engagement in hi-sec, I knew that if he tried to touch my booty (pirate booty of course), he'd be flagged suspect. What's a girl to do? Decisions decisions.
First off, didn't want to bite off more than I could chew ("that's what she said!" - oh stop it already!) like I did with the first engagement, so I pulled up info on his ship. It was a Gallente destroyer, so at least I wasn't outmatched on the ship vs. ship side of the equation. Did this guy even know I was watching him from a distance? Didn't know. I locked onto him (does he get a signal when I do that?) and pressed 'keep at distance' to about 25 kilometers, which my guns are ranged to.
I saw a flashing on and off as he was next to one shipwreck. Ah, salvaging. But will he take the next step to stealing? I decided a moving target might be better than stationary, so I changed 'keep at distance' to 'orbit at distance.' My trigger finger was getting itchy. It was then that I thought "I came to chew bubble gum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubble gum."
Unfortunately, this story ends with a whimper rather than a bang. He simply salvaged all the wrecks and then warped out. But hey, at least I tried! |

On another note. What kind of drop did you get from the convoy.

I sent you a small quantity of isk as a leg up once I saw your forum post. People who help themselves, deserve respect. Posting and seeking out the answer early on in your career shows you'll probably go far in EVE.
THIS.. Eve is not about 'being super carefull and creeping around', Eve is about going out there and enjoying yourself, trying whatever tickles your fancy. Sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose everything, but that's part of the game.
Like the intro in the game says, your ability to survive in New Eden rests on your ability to be Bold. Dare to Be Bold, pilot.
And you dear OP noob-cakes, are on that road. The only real experience that matters in Eve is not skillpoints, not wealth, but Player Experience. Something you can't buy or train for. It's attained by DOING things.
Welcome to Eve.
