BTW can you be killed without respawn? how can you prevent that? any kind of save, or "insurance" like in the X games?
In the tutorials it is said that no PVE character will kill your capsule but PVP can, so when your capsule is killed, and you with it, then you have to begin from a cold start?
The way 'dying' works in this game is essentially same as with any MMO's out there with the exception that you lose all the stuff that you happen to be carrying with you (in the ship); even if you might be able to run without losing the pod (and thus not 'really' dying).
You can pick your stuff later as from the ship wreck but usually any PvP-wreck will be picked clean by the time you're able to salvage anything from it.
Anyway "respawn point" is any station that you happen to have you 'medical clone' stationed which in your case is the station in n00b system where you started the game.
You can change the medical station anytime you like provided that you have proper standings and all for the corp who owns the station.
When you lose your pod you die for real (and also leave a corpse behind to be sold in auction or to be kept as personal trof+¬+¬ ...) and you have to buy (update) a new medical clone which is free of charge until you have 900 000 SP.
The more you get SP the more it costs to keep your clone up to date.
If your clone is not up to date you lose SP's from highest rank skill that you have learned so far, hence keeping your clone updated is always a highest priority for any capsuleer.
You can insure you ship but it only covers your ship and not the fittings or vice versa and often not even that if you happen to have a taste T2 or faction ships.

It really depends on what you prefer as basic, i have an alt steadily ticking towards 30mil SP all in science & industry, only guns he can use are those that were needed to pass the epic arch in arnon (destroyers et al.)
So if you plan on staying in high sec or even in null you don't need guns per se but if the push comes to shove it feels good to be able to do at least something about it. |

Now it doesn't matter at all aside from looks and where you start at. Quote:How about PVP? I'm safe while exploring or I can find some PVP player with UBER ships just to kill me as soon as I strand to far from the home base? Can I join PVP fights? (are there "arenas" like in fantasy MMO?)
Actually in 2007 you race, ancestry and occupation meant EVERYTHING as we didn't have that nice cuddly remapping back then so if you happened to make choices that meant you had all points in charisma ... well tough luck make a new char or suck it up ... which obviously was bad when you also were told absolutely nothing about attributes and skills when making your first character. 
Though I would still like to have that original career stats distribution available as character option, the new system is far better then old one that we used to have. |
