Hey guys
I been playing eve since late August and so far i been enjoying everything the game has to offer. It is the most complex game i have ever stumbled upon and i always wondered to myself, why havent i started earlier?! There is soo much content in this game its ridiculous! (in a good way) no other game can match its quality.
I began the game as a simple miner, however after a while i realised mining isnt something i wanted to do anymore, the isk i made isnt great and above all, paying to play a game just to mine? Not my cup of tea :P
Eventually i started to get better at the games mechanics and during this time i started to experiment, from pvp to pve and good ol exploration. First time i ever dueled someone was at Jita and thats when i realised that you lose your ship even in duels.. pod was destroyed and my clone was 30 jumps away.. good times
Afterwards i joined a industry based corporation with decent folks, learned more about the game itself while trying my best not to fall for common noobie mistakes. The only disclaimer they never mentioned is that the corp is heavily wardecced.. and i mean heavily :)
Never understood how the wardec mechanics work until i lost my ship outside jita :( after that i came to an understanding that Highsec isnt really that safe as advertised :P
For nearly 2 months i had to deal with the biggest mercs out there, it was scary at first because these guys dont mess around.. they fly the best ships in the game, and i did try my best to defeat them when isee them camping at gates..never ever managed to take them down or even scratch their shields, and after losing my ships many times i get the usual uninstall eve mails or go back to playing hello kitty island adventures, all fun and games.
Eventually i did leave my corp because industry isnt really my thing, said my goodbyes and we still keep in contact. So i roamed solo again for a while deciding what i really wanted to do, and that is PvP. Fighting another pilot gets your heart pumping win or lose, and its a great feeling. Only problem is that i suck at pvp, and most pvp corps require a huge amount of skillpoints for new recruits, which i completely understand because having a noob in a major pvp corp can be a liability. But at the same time im trying my best to perform pvp activities so i can be useful to corps, but im getting my ass kicked all the time and having private convos with my enemies telling me the same repetitive phrases again and again.. *uninstall newb* Lol
I dont hold grudges with people that are better than me ingame nor do i start unnecessary drama that goes in circles. But at this point i just dont know what i should do. I want to be better at pvp and i really really wish i had an idea how to win. seeing enemies with super expensive ships almost crushed my spirit in pvp many many times but i aint giving up just yet. I have thought about joining a nullsec/lowsec corp and i looked at their advertisements ingame and in forums, only problem again is the skillpoint requirements.
Im not asking for an easier experience. im very happy with how things are going in EVE and i certainly dont want any of it changed because of new players like me, its the reason im subscribed in the first place :) If i have to lose my favourite ship 1 billion times just to get ONE good kill. ill gladly do it.
Can anyone help me out with useful information to get me started in pvp? Apologies if this sounded like a rant because it kinda is... i dont have friends that play eve unfortunately and i been quiet about this for a long time. I like my missiles and drones, and i want to use them to vaporise enemy ships :)
Thanks!
Mick
