Edited by: Cybele Lanier on 04/05/2008 21:46:44 Some silver rules, from my own experience:
In missions, always kill the interceptors first. Even if you're 100% sure you won't need to warp out, kill them first to be sure.
A quick way of checking the quality of an item is to rightclick on it, Show Info and then check the Meta Level. Higher the better.
To find other agents for a corporation, check their information. You can get this by looking for them in People & Places, or clicking on the (i) icon at the top right in one of their stations. Pick the Agents tab, check the map to see where they are. Ideally, you want to make sure you have a good-quality agent for every level, in a department that does the sort of missions you're after. Check perodically to see if a better quality agent has become avaliable. Also, you probably want to make sure they're in high-sec, with all high-sec systems within one jump.
Buy Blueprints of the ammo type you use the most often, and manufacture it from reprocessed loot. It might not be as cost-effective as buying the stuff yourself, but the convenience is often worth it. When your manufacturing skills are up to speed, you can sell any surplus.
Move around, check out different regions before you put down roots. Some of the sparsely populated regions can have surprisingly good resources (agents, asteroids) that people miss out on because they never leave Caldari space. --------------- ""Minimum collateral damage" and "Entire star system" do not belong in the same sentence." |

Ok, so what if he IS out to get me? What if some immoral jerk and his buddies in their killer ships are out to get me, not for ISK or glory but just for the fun of shooting down an easy target and annoying me, cause they have more fun doing that than something that I would consider mature and reasonable... what do I do?
Thanks for all the great advice Akita and everybody!!

Options (in no particular order): * bore him/them to death : stay docked, stay logged-off, clonejump to the other side of the universe daily * use uber-cheap setups to harass him/them or their friends * bring "friends" : hire mercenaries * bring more friends / join a larger corp * bring even more friends / join a larger alliance
You get the idea

Put in the effort to become less of an easy target
Learn more about the game, be prepared better and engage your brain. Most of the time the one that does the killing is simply better prepared and was paying attention. No more, no less.

Edited by: Nethras on 16/06/2008 22:43:15 Based on recent local, fleet, and militia chat I've seen, I thought I really should add this... just because someone is flashing red, does not mean you should attack them. Firstly of course, there's always the chance they can kick your ass.
More importantly perhaps though is that it doesn't automatically mean they're an enemy. Especially if you're in a fleet or otherwise working with other people, the fact that they have low standings, or have somehow invoked one of the many aggro flags in EVE towards you, has no effect on whether or not they're a helpful ally - and being paranoid applies with people that AREN'T flashing just as equally :P
Bottom line - the overview can't always tell you who's an enemy, who's a potential target, and who's an ally that has reason to believe you're friendly.
I believe FW (Factional Warfare) has made this much worse though... firstly, you have to turn on the setting to flag friendly and enemy militia members in your overview (and even then, it only shows your militia and the 2 you're at war with not the 4th militia that you're friendly with). Secondly... the militias can't set standings cause there's no player mechanism for managing them, and from what I hear there's problems setting standings towards the militias for corps and alliances as well. Which leads me to what triggered this post... at least once an Ushra'Khan (Minmatar RP alliance that has basically been fighting factional warfare against other similar alliances WAAAY before official FW came out) ship has been blown up by Minmatar militia pilots, who as far as I know thought they were shooting a pirate or Amarr militia member... and a Minmatar militia pilot flying an Amarr ship has been blown up by other Minmatar militia pilots because they saw an Amarr ship on the overview... and I highly doubt this is limited to just our militia.
If you're not a solo pirate attacking all comers, and aren't defending yourself, make sure you know who you're attacking... if you're TRYING to be a pirate, backstabber, or whatever, go ahead, this is EVE after all, but don't blow someone up without knowing who you're going to **** off and how big a dumbass you're going to look - and to know these things requires both a thorough knowledge of what the overview indicators actually mean (the overview settings can actually explain a fair bit if you read them, though there's bound to be guides out there), and knowing when you need to use show info and possibly even ask questions in corp/alliance/militia/fleet chat
Sadly, I don't know how this could be condensed into a few bullet points that would get the point across (or this post would be much shorter).

I read this on the C&P forum this evening, and I think it's appropriate. This is the best paraphrase I can think of to convey what I think it means. Or at least, what it means to me.
Pardon if it's harsh though...
"Getting ganked by someone builds character. That is, provided that you have any. Either way, your character is exposed first, and if [people] don't like what they see, then chances are EVE is not for you."

Dont forget the best rule of all---if you are a scammer or pirate--you cant be touched. No rules for retribution and remember--the bottom feeders are protected in game. :)
