Katlyn Koreth Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 3	Posted - 2014.11.20 15:49:39 - [1] - Quote Alright, so I got into Eve mainly because it's supposed to be the most realistic game out there.. and so far, it appears to be pretty authentic with regards to the economic system. However, it's also supposed to be famous for the sense of constant danger, the meaningful death penalty, the possibility of being attacked at any moment, etc... but I've played on and off for about 2 months, and I haven't seen a single battle. I haven't been attacked even once. I haven't even SEEN another player except for the occasional (afk!) miner, or person using the jump-gate ahead of me. I mine mostly in 0.5/0.6, and have also taken a peek in low sec on several occasions (with a relatively weak ship). No danger, no problems, nothing at all. I've also read that nullsec is a snooze fest lately because one alliance controls most of it (not sure of this, just what I have read from other players). So, what gives? Has the game been changed over the years to cater to people who complained about it being too unpredictable? Have I just been "lucky"? Where's the EVE I've read so much about?
Kendra Katana Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 67	Posted - 2014.11.20 15:59:42 - [2] - Quote That's your problem really. You reside in High-sec that is (theoretically) safest part of known space. Game mechanics are rather tricky when it comes to actual pew-pewing so it's very unlikely you will witness any actual space-battle there. Most of high-sec PvP content is generated through Wardecs (official wars between corporations/alliances) or Suicide ganking where bunch of players with cheap, high dps ships will suicide gank a miner or freighter resulting in loss of their entire fleet, but with some luck, also their target's ship. If you joined EvE for PvP content, space battles and in general - fun, I would advise to look for a corporation based in Low/Null-sec space where combat content is the primary activity. Cheers.

I know highsec is meant to be "safer", but it feels downright boring so far. Def want to get into low sec and nulsec, but so few skills right now I couldn't contribute much. Maybe in a few weeks.

Kendra Katana Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 74	Posted - 2014.11.20 16:40:28 - [7] - Quote To be extremely honest, your approach to the game is far more important than SP you have. If you are willing to undock and fight, you're far more valuable than many other high SP pilots that are too scared to undock. Even small frigate with few webs can make a significant difference in a fleet vs fleet scenario.

I will echo what Ralph has already said. This is the biggest lie new players get told, and the biggest reason so few of them stick around. I cannot stress enough that as a new player, the absolutely worst thing you can do is start off playing the "just one more skill game". That's how I started, and it took me 3 years to discover the real fun in Eve. Train these skills: Racial frigate 3 (You may even start with this one, I forget) Propulsion Jamming 3 Highspeed Maneuvering 3 Racial Weapon 3 You can now fly a very cheap frigate with a microwarp drive, some guns, a warp scrambler, and a webber. You are now useful in any fleet, and it will take you less than a day. You will die, gloriously, but as a newbro tackle frigate your job is to tie pinning down the target while your gang delivers the fatal blow. You will be the reason they got that kill - they will celebrate your existence within their corp, and the insurance will cover most of what you lost on the ship. A bitter vet trying to start anew.

Haedonism Bot Glorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Highsec CODE. 1582	Posted - 2014.11.20 17:30:30 - [12] - Quote You are doing it wrong, that's why you are bored. If you stay in highsec and isolate yourself from the community as a miner then you are obviously not going to have much fun. Sure, a random suicide ganker may get you - much more likely if you live in a high population system - but aside from that you will be ignored. If you really want to make yourself a target it's pretty easy. But the better option is to reach out to other players yourself. You seem to be just waiting for someone to come and blow you up. It also sounds like you aren't a target worth going out of the way for. Wouldn't it be better to proactively blow other people up instead?

Def want to get into low sec and nulsec, but so few skills right now I couldn't contribute much. Maybe in a few weeks. No amount of mining or industry skills will further prepare you for low sec. If you find mining boring and dull, stop immediately. The tutorials lead new players to believe that mining is a good way to make money. It's not. Unless you actually enjoy it there are far more efficient ways to make isk (missions, combat sites, FW plexes) which will allow you to train combat skills. Don't let yourself get in a rut. Join a corp. Fit some combat frigates and get them blown up. Find something to do which exposes you to more of Eve. Maybe you don't prefer direct combat. Try exploration or hauling in dangerous space. See if you can amass some wealth from trading or production. Basically, do anything that requires some brainpower. It'll keep you interested, teach you new things about the game, and help you meet people with similar interests. Eve is all about interaction with others. Interacting with rocks and Netflix is a recipe for boredom. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com New player with questions? Just want to chat? Join my public channel in game: House Forelli
Thanatos Marathon Phoibe Enterprises 357	Posted - 2014.11.20 18:11:55 - [15] - Quote Go do some mining in Black Rise/Placid lowsec. Once your miner is destroyed fit some Frigs and go blow up other peoples stuff.

Azda Ja BUMP POW 397	Posted - 2014.11.20 19:19:25 - [19] - Quote Pretty much everything has been covered. I'd like to underline the following advice, leave the NPC corp yesterday. Don't listen to the "vets" that live in them telling you you can't do stuff. The game opened up a LOT for me when I left the default corp. Another thing to keep in mind is that EVE is a game that rewards being proactive and assertive with finding content. EVE is a hell of a lot of fun when you start out since you get new toys to try out faster than you can master them, but with curiosity, trial and error, some guidance and some naive bravado, you can do some pretty cool stuff just days (hours in too) into the game.

Check out NightCrawler 85's thread, How to find the corp that is right for you. It's a bit of a read, but she's already compiled a lot of good info on the topic. To add to that, if you're interested in PvP, I would also advise to look into the NPSI groups (Not Purple, Shoot It) (aka, if you aren't in our fleet, we'll shoot at you). Spectre Fleet and RvB Ganked are the two big ones right now. Fly with them, chat with them, learn from them, and you might find yourself receiving an offer to join someone's corp. Even if you don't, it's a lot of good experience flying with them. Join the channel *Thera Industries* in-game for a general public channel for Thera-based industrialists.

You can trust me with your stuff. OP - I also made your mistake as a rookie, of not thinking I was ready for PVP. My first fights came from getting into a cheap PVP fitted ship (with a warp scrambler), flagging myself as suspect in highsec by stealing, then warping to anomolies (the things in the alt-P interface that you don't have to scan down). Sometimes someone else is already there, and sometimes they shoot you. When they do, shoot back. I then started flying fast ships and hunting lowsec for targets of opportunity. Whatever you do, stop mining now. It's miserably boring. www.minerbumping.com - Mining accidents are increasing. Get your permit now. Ganking doesn't need a purpose, the gank is its own purpose.

I just had to look this up on the urban dictionary before i got to this comment. I have never heard someone say that before I believe it's mostly a British saying. Along with a lot oif really other great expressions, such as gormless, that are far more fun to use than our contemporary American slang. A bitter vet trying to start anew.

Jur Tissant The TERRA Guardians of Serenity 327	Posted - 2014.11.21 22:14:49 - [47] - Quote Don't ask for realism. Realism in games sucks. EVE is by no means realistic. In general, high-sec is not conducive to the shooty-blowy-upy stuff you're looking for - and when you do find it, you'll often be on the receiving end. If you want some action, fly a freighter through Uedama at peak hours and see what happens. Also, join a corp.

It's a great way to make ISK if you don't like PVE because you can do it while doing things you'd otherwise still be doing, be it house chores or PVP even. I've heard of players who gank miners while mining

When you have died enough to understand the basics and lose the shakes then go find a low or null corp.
