I can't believe you made it to a safe spot (not intentionally) and then warped to a gate at 15km where you knew he would be. That's nothing to do with skill points that's brain power unfortuantely.
How did you get 38 mill with 800k SP? If its that easy should be easy enough to do it again.

its not just help me.. its more about help a new player transition to be more smooth. Very few people have time to spend in game. And if they gonna pay 3 months of game subscription to get pwoned everytime or stay at no fun zone. Lots of them will get bored. I worked ina an MMO that died form that same reason. Evew was lucky to grow fast enough to hold its feet and not have same doom.
I have to disagree with you there. EVE has been around for more than three years and its easier now than its ever been. Population is still growing and 'the sky will fall unless you help the weak' threads have been a feature of the forums since they grace the internet.

I wouldn't advise anyone to fly a BS under 5 mill SPs. Some of the others are correct you don't even have enough SPs to fit a cruiser. I can't stress enough how important engineering, navigation and electronics skills are.
But besides the skill points thing it was your error in judgement that killed you. You took the wrong decisions. I can fly a hauler in and out of Syndicate at will with an alt that can't even fire a gun. Granted its a bit dicy but if I can get out in a couple of hours on a Friday night then you should have no difficulty with low sec. What you need is to join a corp that you can learn from.
I'm not sure if I read correctly but you lost two cruisers and went from 38 mill to 1/2 mill. They're expensive fittings it maybe worth sorting by price on the market.
A least you made 40 mill in a month. Took our entire corp 2 weeks to make 50. The game itself isn't complicated its what you can do with the game.

Oh yeh and for the new guys who don't have instas. Log an alt make safe spots in a shuttle in line with the exit of the station. When you get a chance bolt and safe spot. Don't stay in the spot too long. Get your alt to make an insta or put the 15km beyond the gate and jump to them. Only place you will be vulnerable is the other side of the gate.

Originally by: Gavin Kineli I think a lot of you are missing the point.
Most people replying here have played the game a while, and we know how it works. This guy has an 800k SP character. Does he know the ins and outs of the game? How to slip past gate campers? Probably not.
So rather than be critical and call him a whiner, help this guy out.
Yes but istead of saying I don't really know what I'm doing and I got podded. He's come along saying you're all wrong and the game is crap because I got podded.
Slight difference in attitude. I've seen new guys have similar issues. I've sent them an eve-mail giving advice and enough isk to replace their ship.

Edited by: Valan on 17/11/2006 13:30:55 You can offer all the help in the world but some people just don't get it. A work mate of mine played for a while but he was useless. We repeatedly told him what not to do and he would still get popped on a weekly basis making the same mistake.
Now you could say he was stupid but he's one of the smartest blokes I've met. There is just no helping some people, you have to be crap at something for some its EVE. You have to draw the tutorial line somewhere you cna't hold their hand all the way through.
