The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.02.09 16:35:00 - [4] I was blissfully unaware of the ammo requirements until I found mid-mission that I'd ran out of charges. In a Velator. At the same time I didn't realise I could warp out of an encounter by normal means. D'oh! pop ------------------------------------------------- I'd rather be a jack of all trades than a master of one.

Hockston Axe Amarr HocksCorp	Posted - 2007.02.09 20:07:00 - [44] -Thinking that Zoar & Sons was a player corp because the station I was going to was in low-sec, and that only player corps were in low and no sec, and that player stations were the same as the NPC stations. -It's ok to go through this 0.3 on autopilot.

Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2007.02.09 20:10:00 - [46] Edited by: Andrue on 09/02/2007 20:06:42 On my second day I proudly announced to NPC corp chat that I'd grabbed ore out of some cans just floating in the belt. Someone responded with 'yeah, they're mine'. Luckily this was back in Feb '04 when there was nothing they could do about it but it was the only time I ever stole ore. A couple of days later someone paid me 400k when I arrived in belt. Dunno why. I just warped to the belt and got 400k in my wallet. At the time I thought I was rich. These days I wouldn't blow gas out my arse for 400k -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] Please don't read this signature.

Brutor Shaun Minmatar Freelancers UK Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.09 20:23:00 - [48] Not twigging on for about a week that skills trained when you were offline!

Got company in the belt, but thought I was safe 'cos they weren't flashing red......BOOM Thinking that mining barges were soooooo big they must be 'part of the scenery'.

Fornacis Gallente hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.02.14 22:06:00 - [51] After the tutorial I went to mine in my noob ship and kept getting "This is the property of blah blah" and I thought the rocks belonged to a corporation, and I was going to get in trouble for mininig them so I warped away terrified. Then I realized I was activating the noob gun along with the mining laser. One thing that I miss most of all as a noob is .... FEAR....space was so scarey and cold as a beginner.
Agillious Gallente Inner Circle Helter-Skelter	Posted - 2007.02.14 22:24:00 - [52] Posting in Features and Ideas that Eve needed paint jobs for ships thinking: "Heh! Bet they never thought of THIS idea!" MORE SHINY, PLEASE!!!
Pehova Mindtriq Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2007.02.14 22:26:00 - [53] "Why did concord help him when I shot him" was my first thought when I pvped for the first time. Didn't really understand the difference between empire and 0.0 back then. Celes/Toxin vs BOB

Triana Gallente MMK Design and Logistic	Posted - 2007.02.14 22:44:00 - [56] ahh noob days, making incessant run from belt to station in a navitas because i so wanted to buy a tristan. Got the tristan , ventured in placid (no idea it was choke full of pirate) and taking out a serp cruiser at a gate :) then going for a dual BC spawn.......nuff said. Space was huge, i just couldnt make head or tails of the map, didnt understand that Insta bookmark thing people were talking about. Day i bought my first thorax, god this ship is so freaking huge....just to be met by a megathron outside the station 'frak that ship is huge'.... First travle into 0.0 where my corp had a pos, man this was so scary. -- War is like any other bad relationship. Of course you want out, but at what price? And perhaps more importantly, once you get out, will you be any better off?
Nicocat Caldari New Age Solutions New Age Solutions Amalgamated	Posted - 2007.02.14 22:45:00 - [57] The joys of lowsec ratting: "Why can't I hit this... Crow? What's a Crow?... with my missile ferox?" "What in the hell is that big red beam?" (The Nos beam) "Oh, a Dread Guristas frig. Never saw one of those before." popped without a second thought on what they are And 0.0... "What the ***, that rat did 800 HP of damage on a NORMAL hit!"

Kur'Dekaija Atomic Heroes The OSS	Posted - 2007.02.14 22:53:00 - [59] well just gonna write what I dide. "ffs, why cant I fit a 800mm plate on my Tristan?" "why fit small repper when you can fit a plate, alot more hp" "hmm can I destroy that bilboard?" - found out I couldnt. "OMG I cant find my home" "you can use map to 'set destination'!!?!?!?!?!" "hmm I fit 6 mods on my ship but I can only use 2???" - back then you had to flip between high, mid and lowslots. Loosing a ship in a belt then screaming in noob corp chat "someone come rescue me in my pod" Tryed fitting L AM in my light blasters, then *****es about how much isk I spent on it. "wtf,, I have to buy more skills to use this skill???" I can go on all night about stupid things I did and thought
Enmel Minmatar	Posted - 2007.02.14 23:12:00 - [60] I vaguely remember wondering how I was ever going to afford a bantam whilst mining in an ibis. I remember thinking that 45k isk was riches beyond my wildest dreams.

I couldn't figure out how to be certain my "special delivery" didn't get into the wrong hands. I was stumped which resulted in mission failure.
scabbsssjr Gallente M'8'S	Posted - 2007.02.14 23:54:00 - [68] Were to begin? Shield tanking a mega with passive shield hardners and no skills to help them. Lows filled with BCUs to help the two heavy missile launchers and a few damage mods for the projectile guns I had in the highs. That was a ship I thought up and tried before I discovered tanking :) Mining veldspar thinking I would be rich if I did it with an indy while I watched the telly. --------------------------- Originally by: Ductoris At this rate I'm going to ask for a BOB sub-forum.
Nero Scuro Caldari Jejaikaro Corporation	Posted - 2007.02.14 23:55:00 - [69] Being terrified of flying into stations, planets and gates because I thought I'd crash and explode. Planning to head towards Guristas space in my condor (I didn't know that 0.0 even existed at the time) with the plan of single handedly toppling them all. I was actually half-way to 0.0 when I was saved by my first corp, who recruited me on the spot after hearing what I was planning on doing. (on a side note, space felt so much bigger and unique back then - I can remember more about the systems I was in during my first month than I can in the entire time I've spent in eve since, even that stupid system I was recruited in that I only ever entered once (to my knowledge)). Quitting my first corp because they were joining an alliance that had a policy whereby if you popped a roid mining in 0.0 they'd pod you (superstition to do with roid respawning I believe) - I wasn't having anything to do with anyone who would POD another player! That's griefing! :S Thinking that all 0.0 was in the east, because that's the direction you had to head in to reach my first alliance's territory. Thinking I was invincible because my Caracal I took on my first roam into 0.0 had about 2.5k shields. Despite not having any instas, MWDs, ABs, WCS' or a clue, I actually managed to survive for about half a week (although that had more to do with being lucky and not running foul of any hostiles than my godly 2.5k shields). ___ "have u seen my employ history? u better go as i have more friends in thisgame then in my real life"
Ka Mi Thanos and Killjoy Productions Soldiers of the Forgotten Abyss	Posted - 2007.02.15 00:13:00 - [70] On the first night I played I set the alarm clock and got up in the middle of the night just to change skill. I thought I would have to redo it if I changed to something else before the skill was completed.

Ruah Piskonit Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.02.15 00:52:00 - [71] "Once I get into the Maller, I will be complete" Funney, I still think like this. . . ----
Kesh McCall Caldari Malkalen Enterprises	Posted - 2007.02.15 01:02:00 - [72] Edited by: Kesh McCall on 15/02/2007 01:02:00 1. Mining in Amsen ( starter system 1.0 ) When that guy gets any closer to ( un-anchored ) secure can iam going to blast him out of the sky. 2. Sitting in a pod in Amsen ( starter system 1.0 ) iam quiting this game. That guy and his 20 friends were shooting me right out of space and i will never be able to recover from this loss 3. Sitting in a new Bantam in Amsen at the gate ( starter system 1.0 ) HA !!! i remember that guy, now hes alone and i will have my payback... I still did not understand how his friends knew i would be coming and how they cloaked. And what do you mean with CONCORDED ???? 4. What do you mean i have to ACTIVATE my shieldbooster ????? 5. Blackbirds are the ultimate ships. They look like a prehistoric Millenium Falcon and can fit Cruise Missle launcher's. 6. Kestrels can fit cruise missle launchers aswell ... 7. 2 Kestrels own a Blackbird when fitted with cruise missle launchers 8. OMG i will never recover from this loss of my CM fitted Blackbird 9. ECM / ECCCM ??? Useless junk .. i have no place for that on my new Blackbird .. because i need the slots for my 3 Shield boosters ( what do you mean i need to activate it )
Deschenus Maximus Amarr Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2007.02.15 01:12:00 - [73] Thinking that shield-tanking Amarr ships made sense Thinking that Beams > Pulses Thinking that 1M ISK was a lot of money Being devastated after losing my first dessy to a war target in empire Putting at least 2 stabs on everything Thinking that drones were ghey because I thought you had to select each one individually to assigne them targets Using shield + armor + hull reppers on the same ship Thinking that putting 2 heat sinks was dumb because of the stacking penalties Thinking that DCUs were a useless mod Hmm... lots of fitting-related stuff Anyways, IBTL Originally by: Glenntwo You should be an anti pirate because you enjoy giving a player who is looking for an unfair fight an extremely unfair fight
Teemu Rihianen Gallente DaHOOD Communication	Posted - 2007.02.15 01:18:00 - [74] Went mining right after the tutorial. Warped to a belt and saw a covetor for the first time in my life "Woooow!

Chronus26 Gallente Vale Heavy Industries SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.02.15 01:21:00 - [76] First time I saw my Brother playing eve I thought a station was attacking his Velator. On my first night avoiding anything that moved because I didn't I was protected in 1.0 space. Also on my first night, being affraid to leave the starter system to complete a newbie mission because my Velator might get blown up. Eventualy plucking up the courage to go to the next door system and complete the newbie mission, and getting lost doing so, so I opened my map and chose a system with a cool name to go live in.

Hari Sel'don Gallente Terminus Reborn	Posted - 2007.02.15 01:57:00 - [80] Ahhh what an excellent thread!! Back in May 2003...[on my original character not this one] Born in Cistuvaert, Verge Vendor, took me 5 days to figure out how to leave the system and join my m8 down in Heimater. No autopilot in those days, it was a long trip. Ninja mining 'all' the high end roids in 0.5 > 0.1 in my Probe frigate, dodging the rats, eyes glued on local and anyone dodgy looking, scraping together the odd refine of something nice. Then they nerfed the roids to hell I quit for 6 months. When i came back i mined Omber for 3 months straight and, not satisfied with the pathetic cargo capacity of my hauler, i used to painstakingly position giant secure containers in the belts, precisely the correct distance from the roids so that i could sit there in my thorax 5km from the roids and transfer to these cans. The precise positioning took nearly as long as the mining but of course i justified it to myself by saying that no bugger ore thief would steal my omber. Then a m8 told me that if you jettisoned your cargo hold you could transfer 27,500m3 of ore into it instead of 6x3900m3 per can. I wasn't paticularly pleased with this revelation as i should have been...i was bloody furious at all the wasted hours i had spent with those damn giant cans! There was much gnashing of teeth! In fact i'm still pist off about it!

I thought the belt is the 'belt looking stars' in the space background, and got full speed flying to it. yes, it took me forever to that belt and failed up the mission. i was so happy that our corp had a POS, and ran into it, wondering, ok, how can i use it? when and how can i use what made by whom at where?

"hmm I want my character to be a cool leader, so Ill put alot of charisma" lol yeah i made that mistake on my first character as well, didn't on (this) my second character and i still find myself amazed that thsi character now has more SPs. although the charisma based skills does help me get more cash for rewards when i actually bother to do missions, which is rare.

Some of the things I remember thinking. 0.0 is a big dark scary place overrun by and evil force called bob(hey, all I ever saw anywhere was "bob this. bob that" never knowing what "bob" was until atleast a month or two later) and evil pirates and scary people... and that I'd never ever ever be able to nor ever want to venture into it. Then there's the time I realized "omg I don't NEED to keep a mining laser on my ship when I use it to shoot rats" 1 crappy AC and basic miner on a vigil = my first "combat ship"... oh boy. when I thought I needed long and short range turrets on my ship at all times to be effective... lead to poor thrasher performance. when I thought my thrasher was tough enough to take on dual angel cruiser spawns by itself in .3 :/ I lost a lot of thrashers, and destroyers in general for that matter, that way. someone reminded me, put a lot of charisma into my attributes cause I thought it'd give me better market deals and communication options(wtf was I thinking) also ignored the learning skills for several months cause I though they took too long...big mistake. Fearful of leaving my starter station that I'd get lost and never find my way home. Making 1 jump a large voyage for me. Hey, I thought I'd get lost.

As previously mentioned fitting long and short range guns to my ships, so I was effective at all ranges, 3. Taking my first Scythe in to my first lvl 2 (I still have the Scythe, but I **** myself when I warped in!) 4. Finding systems were unreachable (didn't realise you can change the auto pilot settings) 5. Wtf are drones for then. I want more guns on my ship. (Also not realising that frigates can have drone bays) 6. A friend who also plays as Minmatar advised me to shield tank my ships. 7. Fitting an afterburner to ALL my ships. Probably more to follow if / when I remember Akkarin <3 - Immy

Aero089 Hunters Agency Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.02.15 15:18:00 - [119] Here's several for ya... First day I got lost after one jump, couldn't remember the name of the system I started at, lost my gear. Got along with it. I fitted lasers on my Rifter and kept on using lasers until my Rupture era. I then decided that Minmatar sucks (big mistake, truthfully) and went Gallente. I was running missions but I had never heard of anything damage-reducing. Needless to say I couldn't get anything done without the help of my corpies. I learned about hardeners when I was already in 0.0 .... Where, on one of my first days, we were about to take over FAT-6P. We assembled in 9CG6-H at a POS, and I thought we were at the gates. Found it weird to see all those turrets in one row, backed up by hardeners and EW stuff :)

Then when he logged off he left abou 3km3 of pyroxerxes in his can. so i spent like 3 hours hauling it back to station before warp to zero (or instas) a few hundred m3 at a time Then i refined the ore without skills, and sold the minerals in station, for what i later learned was a very bad price I thought i was rich, and then i looked at the market and saw about 5-6 more digits for alot of ships so for a few months i thought mining in high sec was where the BIG isk was, so i bought a bantom and mined my heart out in bantom/osprey for a few weeks until i realized i wasnt making jack edit: proofreading FTW
ErazorHead FrenchWing's War Academy	Posted - 2007.02.15 17:16:00 - [126] - Jumping back to my station in my brand new ibis to validate my mission, the warp end me up near a Raven, I didnt understand why I couldnt dock in the "station"... "Oh wait its a ship ! omfg its huge ! I wonder how many players actually pilot that thing ?!" - Few months later, first trip in 0.0 exploring belts with my leet Vigil fitted with a mwd, then pop a 750k Megathron with 2 frigs 40km away from me... I got a heart attack when I saw the frigs approaching me at 2000m/s thinking wisely that they had to be scamblers, so I activate my Mwd and start orbiting the mega thinking nothing could happen to me at 3000 m/s. then I see big balls of light approching me with high speed and decide to warp out (big mistake, I think RmR was released few weeks before) I still had the signature radius of a Titan but the speed of a freighter when those cruise missile hit me right before warping. 10% structure was a bit scary travelling back to home, specially through Y9G-KS where an inty finished the job and ransomed me for 1337 isk to let my pod live (pilot name was lolerskate or something like that, funny guy :p )
Alumion Amarr Dragons of the Twilight Sun	Posted - 2007.02.15 17:24:00 - [127] Some 2 weeks before RMR I remember when I opened my first loot can in the training complex. It contained a Fleeting Warp Scrambler and I though YESS!! With this ultra rare thing I'm gonna be the best pirate ever It also contained a Guristas ship log which mentioned a hidden supply depot in a system 10 jumps away. I though I've hit the jackpot and traveled there immediately. The description said something like "behind planet III" so naturally I warped to planet III. No sign of the hidden treasure. Then I set course next to the moon and left for 10 minutes, I was unhappy that I still haven't found it when I got back. Then I realized that it's BEHIND the planet, so I had to warp in from the opposite direction! After that plan failed too I asked my corpmates and then I was the laughing stock for half an hour... My friend who gave me the trial key said that he's doing a mission. I thought missions must be good so I asked if I can come. He formed a gang and initiated a gang warp, I was shocked that somehow he gained control of my ship. Then we started the mission he went in first to get aggro. I think he was in a cruiser. He told me to just start shooting so I unleashed the full power of the civilian gatling railgun on my Ibis. When we finished the mission he looked at my ship and said OMG you're in an Ibis?! I felt offended that he mocked my uber ship When he urged me non-stop to buy a "real ship" and also provided me with 500k ISK I've bought a Heron because it looked cool ---

So like I would spend time nudging attributes in the character setup trying to find the perfect industrial, or miner, or combat pilot only to find on login the friggin skills were the same lvl as before!? Then of course, I would start all over again because obviously I made some mistake. After days going back and forth like this, I figured I needed to get some help. It took like an hour argueing with older FNA players for me to finally get it. "uh... so you're telling me skill ranks are the same across the board? no matter what attributes you have!?" I still refused to believe them in that surely they must have misunderstood my questions. dag'nabbit! my signature never wo

Thinking another friend was the richest guy alive because he could afford to give me 5mill, and could buy a megathron. Sensor boosting a caracal to do lvl 1s because the lock time was too long :D

Accidentally stole someone's ore because I thought that the can that was floating near the roid I was mining was the result of the mining I was doing and I was supposed to collect the ore from it. He was cool about it though and said he'd done the same thing the day before The first time I saw a bestower (June 2003 while mining in my noob ship) I couldn't believe how huge it was and thought it had to be indestructible. Saved isk for WEEKS to buy an Omen and after I picked it up I thought I was an unstoppable mining juggernaut. --- CCP : Save my mousewheel!
Taran Summers The Merovingians	Posted - 2007.02.16 15:22:00 - [143] I spent several hours sticking all the stats of the industrials in a spreadsheet to see which was going to be the most efficient mining juggernaut that I could use until I got my barges up. Three and a half hours for 2m iskies of ore. Man, I was teh s***z. Mad money baby! The Merovingians ALWAYS get the last word.
Reachok Amarr Low Grade Ore	Posted - 2007.02.16 15:24:00 - [144] One of my n00b thoughts that I remember quite well was thinking that the term "Ninja Mining" meant evading NPC rats in a .5 system in the belts.
