With this type of game there are no pre-defined scripts to follow - you make your own game within the world of EVE. All MMORPG's are like this to some extent.
In EVE you're free to choose your own path, be it a pirate, trader, assassin, bounty hunter, or miner. Granted the games not perfect and some aspects don't work yet, but you need to remember EVE is still in its infancy. Given another year I think alot of its teething problems will be gone and there'll be a lot more content and 'things to do'.
As for being killed 7 times, I don't know what systems you hang out in but I'm yet to lose a ship in 6 months game play and I've been through almost every region.
The game needs pirates/risk otherwise whats the point?
A single player game may be more to your liking. Good luck

maybe you should be less yawning and pay more attention to the systems you fly in

The point of any game is to have fun, sorry you didn't. Eve is unfortunately not for everyone, sorry that you didn't figure out how to move around without dying and didn't get hooked up with a good corp, Eve is not as accepting of mistakes as other games. That one time you forget to insure your new cruiser is the time you CTD in the middle of a giant rat spawn. Not everyone can learn from these little lessons, hope you have fun with your next game.
Sure, everyone supports saving Einstein's brain, but when you put it in the body of a Great White Shark, suddenly you've "gone too far". |

I always thought Eve was a good concept that's why I signed up for Beta. But it has always been hard work for solo newbies to get anywhere, that's why I stopped playing the game.
I've now come back to see how it is. Still lots of mining but at least there are loads of player corps eager to recruit you and break you into the game.

Let's see killed 7 times in 30 days, ok I'll give you three times, but by the third, most mentally challenged might get a clue that they're doing something wrong.
So you were playing Mr. explorer in your newbie ship, 3 mining runs and you could have bought a shuttle ( I like Gallente they do 600 m/s); then you could have just flown arround in .4 or higher space picking up small things, out of containers.
You could have done anything, hell you could have been an ore theif, and with some training a scammer. Whatever.
Stop griping about server instability and go buy an EVE mug!
Additionally with the purchase of each mug you will receive two(2) invisible Elves.

I don't want to offend anyone, but it makes it sad that so many just don't seem to or want to "get it". I mean you say that what most CEOs do is sell their isk on Ebay. Eh, hello, really? I haven't met one like that myself. Most corps don't even earn good money. If you don't plan to make a very powerful corp you can quite easily make perhaps a few billions by just being a few members and playing say a few hours a day. For example in our corp the directors has put in a lot of cash for getting good positions, gettin cruisers for new players, we think it's more fun to be many friends, even when it costs us isk.
Some of you think it's too hard for being a solo player, i would say the problem is that it's too boring, since you are alone and there is little of complexity you can do yourself. Sure you can trade, ming, hunt pirates, be a pirate yourself but much less is happening. Try organizing a team of 20 people online at one time with scouts, defenders, miners, haulers and try to split the share refine it and either build expensive items and get someone to sell them. That kind of actions is pretty much what Eve is about, or at least could be about.
I'm also depressed that some people think the game will only be fun if they have a battleship. Eh, hello, what are you going to do in a battleship that you can't really do in a cruiser or even frig? It's the same game, you just have a little more complex tools under your fingertips. My suggesting is that you do fun things in your new ships, in your frigats, if you just can't have fun with them how do you expect to have fun with the other ships. And find a good corp, but I do not recommend the CEO is mine enimie approach, this is a err game after all and most people I find in it actually just want to hang out and have fun with interesting people.

One less whiner in this game WOHO, party time.
For dying 7 times in the 30 days, stop going to those systems, keep in high security til you get a decent ship to fight back.
For the ceo's selling isk on ebay. I sure as HELL hope you don't think every CEO is that shallow. Some cases it's not even a CEO that is selling the isk online, it's a solo miner in a BS wanting to make money. Stop thinking everyone is out to get you.
As for your retarded BETA comment, just shut up. You said this was your first online game you've played that you have to pay-to-play. Go check out the rest of the pay-to-play games and tell me they are finalized. If you find one, look at the player base, it should be ZERO since an MMOG is never finalized. It'll always have some bug and content being added.
Too many ppl read the boards too much when they start playing and see all the morons posting stupid shi like you did and get burned into their heads that everybody in Eve are evil and that CCP hates it's players.
Good riddence to bad rubbish.

The idea with this game is to make money.
And what are you gonna do with all that money?
You invest them to make more money.
And the money you get out of that?
Use that to make more money.
And that money?
More money.
And that money?
More money.
When are you gonna get it?
The idea is to make Money! To make More Money AND MAKE MORE MONEY!!
How much is enough?
It's not a question of enough, pal. It's never enough! It's about winning and losing. Somebody wins, somebody loses, that's what it's all about.
-- I won't not promise to avoid refraining from harming you! .... What? |

I've seen a few (and heard of a few others) who become instant wimps when they get a battleship. Yes, they are big and bad and cool ships. However, unless you are exceedingly rich most people tend to become verycareful with it. While being carefuk isn't a bad thing in and of itself these people seem to have lost some of the gung-ho, charge in and have fun attitude cruiser and frig pilots enjoy. It always sucks to get your ship vaporized but when that ship cost 80-90 million thing are a bit different. Add in a person with a few implants in their head (worth another 20 million or so...maybe more) and I think you have found someone who will hardly dare to venture into deep space/hostile territory.
Of course, that does not apply to all battleship owners but there are a fair number of those guys/gals about. That said I too will certainky get a BS someday (at least I hope to) but I doubt I'll bother till I figure I can really afford it (read 'afford to lose it).

Say you want to buy a Battleship rather than work to get one (which is a LOT of work). Someone may be willing to sell (say) 100 million ISK. Go on to EBay and let it be known you are willing to sell that money for a minimum of (say) $50 and let the bidding begin. Some people are willing to pay to get into a battleship immediately (assuming necessary skills are in place) than spend the weeks of effort it takes to earn the cash or material in-game.
Once the EBay trade has been made simply go in-game and transfer the ISK to the player who bought it.
Easy.

Sorry...not my inetention to do something bad but I didn't think it was hard to figure out for anyone who actually wanted to bother doing this. In some fashion the more people who try to do this the less worthwhile it will be as competition lowers prices for ISK through EBay to the point where it isn't worth the effort. At least, one can only hope.
I'll report this thread to the Mods and let them decide.

Remember that if you have a bs you can actually still fly cruisers and frigs if you are too afraid to loose it. Say if you want to go hunt some pirates and just don't want to risk your bs. The implants are another matter. I use my bs to do quite dangerous things, passing blockades, always mining in 0.0 sec with pc pirates about. If you know what you are doing you are ok 95% of the time. Bah, I just lost it to rates though, didn't know that in this area they not only warp scrambled you but also webbed the engines, so i couldn't fly away with 3mwd or warp away or shoot them since they were too close. Well, a good lesson to know :) (too bad it cost me 40mil).
