1) don't fly what you can't afford to lose.
2) trust nobody.

righty with those two sage pieces of advice out of the way, as you were.

welcome to the only MMO where other players care for you , even when they blow up your ship first

my advice , learn what the game has to offer and choose your career path you want to follow and do not let others tell you , you need to play the game their way

have fun

The first thing that popped up in my my chat, the second one, I do take a lot of advice from other players, but I usually think it over before I bo anything that might be stupid. And the "don't fly what you can't afford to lose" one is pretty obvious, I would never want to risk my most valuable equipment, or fly around in lowsec with 1000 plex... But thanks for the reminder!

If something looks too good to be true... its worse, a lot worse. Be it an item on the market, or a short cut... prepare for the worse and then remember theres prob something you've forgotten.

I think we should keep this one.

agreed. OP, you'll do alright here. Might even go far and be one of the "big names" with that attitude. (and yes, you got the salute right -- though no need for a capital 'o' or the exclamation mark )

Good luck new bro, and welcome to EVE!

Should you ever feel the urge to try out the darker side of EVE, give me, or anyone in CODE. a buzz. We'll be more than happy to take you under wing, and teach the fine art of suicide ganking and tear extraction!

Don't forget, if you mine, buy a permit!

Will do!

for your sake, i hope this is sarcasm.

Will do!

Also, since you seem to be watching dis thread, I made yo wallet go blink blink. Make sure to lose that in a glorious and fun way!

Clearly deluded...

They only seem friendly now, before you know it, your shiny Nightmare Battleship, your crownjewl, either..

1.Get blown up by one of your trusted friends
2.Change ownership, without your knowledge or consent while you sleep
3.Gets sold through a contract in Jita by misstake for 2.000.000.00 isk

It's just a matter of time...

Enjoy, and I hope you become bitter soon.

I think we should keep this one.

I hope to god that I won't get bitter, as bitterness usually is the result of something bad happening..

"Bad" things will happen to you during your EVE play.

But the more expensive the lesson, the better it is learned.

Agreed.

Come to Providence, join the good fight!




[Gotta recruit em young, dont judge me!]

I disagree, he's obviously not EVE material as he did not instantly do stupid things that were his own ignorant fault then come here and post multiple threads about how the GAME stinks and should be changed.

We have standards here in New Eden damn it.

(once again, screw your sarcasm meters and yo couch, playa).

What did I do wrong?

You didn't complain about anything or throw a tantrum or threaten to unsub 70 accounts so CCP will go bankrupt unless they turn the game into your own personal theme park. That'show we do things around here son and we don't like your kind, you know the "smart" and"reasonable" kind, y'all don't belong here, EVE is a trailer park in space.

On the bright side, you sure do got a pretty mouth, so based on that I guess you can stay.

(also, train sarcasm detection to 5, it's an important skill).

welcome aboard!
Enjoy your stay in New Eden, we like fresh blood^^^^^^^^^ new recruits here... :)

Bur seriously, go explore, talk to others (even when they blow you up.. especially then), ask for pointers, get involved.

And most importantly - have fun with whatever you are doing!

Good points, and believe me, I am almost having too much fun already!

stuff.... I think that all in all EVE gets a lot less credits as a game than it actually deserves...stuff

1) don't fly what you can't afford to lose.
2) trust nobody.

righty with those two sage pieces of advice out of the way, as you were.

The space part of the game is okay, but the real fun is here in the forum.

This is where you'll spend most of your time while mining, waiting for the fleet to form up, gate camping, waiting out a COSMOS spawn, etc.

It can be a dangerous place here with real consequences for what you say. Best to dedicate an alt for it as a mistake here often gets you blown up in game.

A few general rules:
1) Never assume any post is serious.
2) Never start a thread unless you like abuse.
3) A quality troll is often rewarded but a bad one gets the locator agents working.
4) Never argue with Tippia unless you have a full day to waste.
5) Likes mean nothing. You need to learn who's a **** or not through exposure and experience.

Mr Epeen

While Danni's first point is spot on (of course), the second point is a bit misleading.

Many players live by the credo "Trust no one" and that's fine.

However if you want to eventually become a mover and a shaker in the EvE universe the focus should instead be on "Learn to sort out the few people you CAN trust, and how far you can trust each one."

Unless you master this skill you'll have great difficulty making a large impact in game (if that is your goal). You'll learn the names of those who have soon enough.

Everyone will say that you can't trust anyone.
You can, however, trust me, as far as you can spit me

Will do! I have no plans of any pvp action just yet, as I am still working on getting familiar with the game, but I'll give you a buzz when I am getting to that! Thanks for the offer!

When you undock, and some times even in station, you are already PvP'ing. Just because you don't seek it out, doesn't mean it won't seek you out. Remember that you always be PvP'ing and you'll be much happier in New Eden.

My spider sense is tingling, are you telling the truth?

"Bad" things will happen to you during your EVE play.

Thanks for the advice! I will eventually choose one path, but right now I'm all about trying different stuff. It's a little like elementary school, where you try all kinds of stuff before you go on to specializing in one thing.. (at least that's how I like to think about it) I also realized that I posted this with my first character, which I halfway abandoned so I could make a new one another place to play with my friends, but it does not really matter that much.

....Snip...

There are a great deal of players who will give you advice, even after they've blown you up

Start PVPing as soon as you can reliably afford to lose frig's over and over.

I was always fond of the saying: -ö-+-¦-¦-Ç-Å-¦, -+-+ -+-Ç-+-¦-¦-Ç-Å-¦

Trust, but verify

I am also a new players and quite enjoying the game. Only joined 2 months ago. I actually am thinking of writing a guide (while all that is still fresh for me) on stuff that new players might need to know and that are not explained clear enough anywhere - i just don't have the time right now.

Right now I am using my spare time to give feedback on new features aimed at new players.

Don't whinge about it on the fora - that only attracts trolls. Unless you*like* troll-baiting. In which case, have t it!

Good stuff.

And for God's sake - KEEP YOUR CLONE UP TO DATE!!!

Not sure what you are referring to here, is it like an actual gameplay feature that I completely missed?
(Yesh, I haz noobdom)

When you train, you accumulate skill points, after a while you have more skill points then your clone can hold.
If you get podded (someone killed your pod), you end up in the station your medical clone is set.
You should always upgrade your medical clone to hold more than enough skill points.

If you get podded and your medical clone doesn't have enough skill point capacity, you will lose a level 5 skill i believe, at least a fair amount of skillpoints you didn't want to lose.
So always update your clone, and don't forget to do so again when you get podded.

Posting is stealth begging scam thread.

...but welcome to EvE.

In a year you'll read your post and you'll get where I'm coming from.

Of course... by then you'll be hooked. ...and it will be too late.

I'm a new EVE citizen - less than three weeks into it. In a purely practical sense, I recommend doing ALL of the tutorial missions. One the key things you'll get from them is a fair grasp of game mechanics and 'how do I do X'. The life of your ship will often hang on how well you are able to manage your weapons load-outs, their associated ammunition and the general fit of your ship.

Maneuver is vital. It's easy to warp into a location, get fascinated by what's going on and realize too late that you're not moving and have thus become a sitting duck. There's a fine art to kiting - keeping your ship at a certain distance that favors your weapons load-out and capabilities versus over your opponents. And then there's the lesson of learning NOT to orbit one opponent only to orbit into range of another.

I get the impression that mastering these essentials will allow you to punch well above your weight, a premise I have yet to really test.

Good luck with your endeavors in this remarkable universe. It's your story to tell.
