I joined a new player friendly corperation, called The Green Mouse. I meet experienced players who has helped me alot, and I think I have a good grasp of the game so far. I'd consider myself a fairly good player, I'm now able to help other new players in my corp with various tasks that they havent learned about yet. I've been running missions and anomalies most of my time in Eve, both solo and with my corporation members, which has been fun.
This is your problem, right here. You've been duped. Your six days old, and you are now teaching your newbies. Doesn't something about that sound a little wrong to you? Basically, your teachers skimped on the training, and you don't know enough yet to realise how they completely screwed you.
I was 'recruited' in my first day by a training corp. Actually, they didn't invite folks to the corp, they let you join their mailing list of useful pvp-tips, and join their public channel, exactly so the sort of thing thats happening to you didn't happen to me and similar people like me. The very first things I was taught had nothing to do with missioning, exploration, any of that ****. The first things they taught me was how to avoid and mitigate unwanted pvp situations. Frankly, your 'issues' would be resolved by just a few tips that if your CEO had half a brain, he could have told you in minutes. Some have already been mentioned, but I'll reiterate anyway.
- Jump clones. Get them. I don't know if Estel Arrador is still running his corp, but he used to run a way for new guy to get jump clones without running the standing hoops. You have 2-3 jump clones littered ~20 jumps apart, no-one is camping you in anywhere. Even if your persuer can be bothered to move once to chase you (chances he cant), after the second or third jump, he'll definitly forget it.
- Just pod out. It is impossible to be camped into a highsec station. When you undock, you have an invulnerability timer, so you don't get killed before you load in system. Pods warp virtually instantly. Between those two things, no-one is locking your pod. Might he chase you? He might, but you warp instantly, he doesn't, you warp faster. Chae you all he likes, he wont catch you.
- Why don't you have an insta-undock? That was the first thing I was taught, always, always, have an insta-undock or three at all stations you base in. An insta-undock is a bookmark greater than 150km (most go for considerably further, 150 is risky, go for at least 200-250 to get yourself off station grid) from the undock point of the station, in line with the undock direction. Easy to make. Undock in a mwd frig, burn til your chosen distance, right-click, make bookmark. In order to warp, you need to be at minimum 2/3rds speed. You undock at full speed. So you right-click, select your insta bookmark, and you can be in the fattest-assed battleship you like, you are still warping instantly as you are already at speed (remember that invulnerability timer above, he can't stop you).
See, as people have pointed out, the tools are there, you just need to be aware of them. |
