Hello Summit,
My name is Caldun of Everyshore, recently moved into Amarr. I've only just started my life as a capsuleer - an opportunity that was presented to me due to a conflict that tore my home and family from me as a child. Long story. The reason I am here is because I see no way to be successful out in space if I am not keeping up with the events of New Eden.
Sadly due to my lack of reason to follow any politics prior to my entry into space a matter of months ago, I have no background knowledge nor experience in the field. What resources have those of you who keep ontop of the politics of New Eden found that would help me get up to speed with recent events - especially those that affect the Amarr region and neighboring regions. Also where can one tune to to hear the latest news in the universe?
I hope my introduction has not intruded upon the flow of your interactions - I hope to play a better contributing role in the years to come. Safe flying.

Welcome, pilot Caldun!
Most pilots get their daily news from a source like New Eden Today
Also, let me point you at a good source of historical material to bring you up to speed.

Luckily you won't find much in the way of political drama in Amarr. The Empress speaks, we obey. Pretty simple. Being the oldest spacefaring civilization, we tend to favor planning and patience instead of rash action, so our troubles are few. We also have the best techno music scene in New Eden (trance music and laser effects, pretty obvious who's going to be #1 in that department).
The day CCP codes together a bot program that slaps 30 day forum bans on anyone who says "can I have your stuff?" the overall average IQ of the EvE forums will quintuple overnight. |

I don't know much about formal education, and I'm sure captain Akahoshi's links will give you more than enough ground for that. If you are interesting in debating those materials, and discussing about it, we in PIE Public are usually glad to participate in such debates.

Welcome to space, ms. Caldun of Everyshore.
I have to say it's heart warming to see a polite newcomer like yourself, for a change.
The links provided should keep you occupied for long enough; if you'd like to discuss politics and such however, I'd be willing to hear you out and rather, help you out.
Safe travels.

First practial lesson on capsuleer politics:
Leopold Caine is an Angel, member of an illegal cartel. Don't trust what he says, don't do as he says. He's a dangerous captain in combat, so better stay away from him.
Silas Vitalia and Bai'xao are Blood Raiders/Sani Sabik (only they care for the difference between both things) and, as such, dangerous heretics. Again, they are dangerous captains, so steer away from them if you see them in local.
There are many more captains to be cautious about in the IGS, but these three are those that more easily can be mistaken for loyal amarrians, and hide the serpents inside their hearts.

Well before anyone says avoid me for whatever reasons, welcome to the verse. Do yourself a favor and try not to ruminate over the news too much. You might get yourself jaded before you even really start your career.
Aside from that, welcome.
Oh, a few other tips. Never go to Rancer, don't look bouncers in the eye when clubbing in Hek, try the kebabs in Dam Torsad (doesn't matter where in the city, just get one), if someone offers you a blue sphere saying it's candy DO NOT TAKE IT, try not to get anything remotely RESEMBLING a Minmatar tattoo, always bring a towel (trust me), never bring up politics with nationalists of any ethnicity in the room, don't trust Silas Vitalia at all, I-RED Lounge has the best tea around, and most IMPORTANT OF ALL: Always respect the bearded ones. ALWAYS. You'll know them when you meet them.
Let me know if you need more help!

Thank you for the kind words, and likewise to the rest of you. My entry into the world of New Eden has been made simpler by your assistance. I must say the history of this Amarr empire are astounding, the things I am reading - which I would assume are true - are like the legends that me and my friends used to make up in Priscadina. I am however plagued by war already - despite the supposedly peaceful state of the Amarr region, the corporation that I fly for has been targeted by a group of well trained ex-military mercenaries. Despite my attempts at earning myself clemency the mercenaries simply laughed in my face and forced me into the body of my alpha clone. I couldn't sleep all night, and cried for the first time in 8 years.
I'll be posting a notice looking for a more adequate corporation to work for that will allow me to grow my skills more appropriately to my goals - I may end up working with one of the universities but I need to do a bit more reading.

If your corp has a fleet, fleet up and fly together to kill de mercs.
A good corp has fleet commanders (fc's) and some idea how their pilots should replace their assets. A /great/ corp has some kind of ship replacement scheme. Dese are questions you should ask before you join "Do you have FC's, what is your corp combat record, how do members replace der assets in wartime."
If dey have no fleet and no plan, den it's just some yoyo taxin his members.
For a new pilot I highly recommend the corp "Brave Newbies" or "Eve University."
Good luck |

Thank you for the feedback, captain Cipher. [AIRHO] does provide asset replacement and they fly with some very well organized fleet commanders. The corporation itself seems to be able to hold it's own weight. My contributions are in the negative and I can't say the dedication to a war that could last weeks is exactly what I want to be worrying myself about this early into my career. This is why I am seeking a corporation which attempts to maintain the most peaceful relations with others and abides by the standards put forth by CONCORD.

My dear,
Every corp is subject to wardec, der is no "peace corp". If dey provide ships, then I suggest you take it as a learning experience. Der will be plenty of time to mine, trade, politic and do other tings. Do not waste a precious opportunity, take de ships provided and tackle your heart out.
Your clones will only get more expensive in the future, learn while der still cheap. Make liberal use of platinum insurance, if you can get on some killmails you will be entitled to bounties. If you have an extra hi-slot you can fit a salvager, and salvage der wrecks. Alot of little tricks like dis.
Combat experience - check
Equipment provided - check
Can make cash - check
I'm not seeing a downside.
You will be lucky if dis war lasts for more dan 1 week. |

If you are looking for a good chance to learn and to fly in a peacefull surrounding, probably EVE University is indeed the best corporation for you. I've never flown with them, but all I hear about them is good.

While there is truth in this fact - my only quarrel is that I don't want to be learning my skills without abundant peers. While belonging to this smaller corporation I can see a greater deal of inter-communication, and things get done as a team. On the other hand my time at the university was extremely segregated, and few pilots if any ever kept close contact with others or flew in fleets. The sense of belonging just doesn't exist within the universities.
Sadly I think I need to take things in stride. There are many a pirate lurking around beyond the reach of the empire that hold a pretty high bounty. Stay away from trade route systems and the threat of capsuleer interference falls off. I am sure I can meet some loyal colleagues within Hedion to keep me company. Perhaps the best decision would be to join the university, at worst I can get in some more studying on New Eden's history. Thanks for your advice captain's.

I've had the personal pleasure of witnessing an EVE University fleet 300 strong. A large amount of Frigate sized vessels, with the majority fielding Cruisers. However, Destroyers, Battleships and Battlecruisers and specialized Attack Battlecruisers made showings, along with a small Logistics contingent and a support fleet of no less than 20 Blackbirds.
I hung some 300KM out in my Crusader class Interceptor observing their movements. Occasionally I would drift closer for a better view, but the E-UNI fleet were keen to fire warning shots if I strayed too close.
Their opponents were fielding a much less lofty fleet; two Rifters, a Rupture and an Oracle to be precise if I recall correctly. 4 versus 300.
After the smoke cleared the EVE University fleet had lost several Ruptures and a mixture of some dozen Frigates. The pirate fleet suffered precisely 0 losses and during the skirmishing (which lasted over an hour) the E-UNI Fleet Commanders showed extreme cowardice, eventually becoming 'camped' into a single station by the pitifully small red fleet.
Needless to say, I have an extremely low amount of confidence in E-UNI for it's ability to teach it's students combat preparedness against other Capsuleer combatants.

I believe you, yet it boggles my mind how this might be possible.
That said, I have one solo engagement under my belt and that was against an E-UNI student. They won. I suppose I am in no position to judge.

I have been victorious in one-on-one combat with Unistas. I have also lost a ship to a student. Though it is not my intention to undermine any individual member of the University. It is their FCs and leadership that strike me as troublesome.

An interest in politics yet an adversity to conflict? Not quite sure how that's going to work out in the long run, but warmest welcome.
I can't offer any guidance in regards to politics, I work hard in fact to avoid the goings-on in Empire rather than immerse myself. Solitude has it's virtues, sometimes. But regards the current topic, if E-UNI doesn't sound like your thing then why not ask your superiors to sponsor some training with the fine pilots at Agony Unleashed? From first hand experience I can recommend their training, you'll learn a lot as well as have a fantastic time doing so.
*forwards you a digital referral!* http://www.agony-unleashed.com/wiki/index.php?title=PVP_Classes
It may not help you win this war, but you might find yourself actually looking forward to the next one!
Good luck, fly safe, and don't let the politic'n corrupt you, ahh.

Well well greetings to you Caldun. I am not sure how things are in the Amarr regions, but in the Federation, just watch the news for a day. That will give you enough taste of politics.
In terms of corporations, I highly suggest Eve University. I myself am a student and recently flew into the voids of space as a capsuleer. The knowledge gained from the university will help greatly in the long run. Knowledge is a powerful tool.

Forgive me Captain Caldun, but your pilot's license seems to be all of eleven days old and you're already in your second corporation.
Might I suggest taking a breather?
Build up your core skills. Try your hand at a number of things. Make some friends. Make a small nest egg for yourself.
Then after researching the corporation and making sure it's a good fit join a capsuleer owned corp.

This is especially true for an opponent that not only refuses to accept evidence, refuses to listen to first hand testimony and has the nerve to demand that you submit evidence to prove your point, offering none in return regardless of how they're pressed.
Nationites should be dealt with by ignoring their mewling.
As to meeting them at their own establishments, I would expressly advise you; Do not under any circumstances. They're to be trusted less then the man that tells you 'putting an active toaster in your bubble bath is great for your health and well being!' |
