Eve....again

[Vargen]

Do you start off with a terribad ship that takes 6+ hours to get a better one or is the first ship actually fun to use

Is it a game you can dip in and out of?

You can. Unlike other MMOs, the character progression is realtime, whether you are logged in or not. So you queue up what skills you want your character to learn, and they will continue training even when you are offline. So if you are going away for a month, you put on a skill that takes say 60 days to complete

You progress pretty fast through the first ship types. And the tutorial lets you see a bit of every aspect. Don't expect to get into fancy stuff right away though. Pick a goal/direction and work towards that.

I have been thinking about getting back into Eve again myself actually. I kinda miss the adrenaline rush from proper space combat

You get a new ship within 20 minutes of starting the game. Then it's like most MMO's, you improve your skills and earn money which lets you buy a better ship. It's all about choosing a career path i.e. miner, pirate, bounty hunter, trader etc and training the skill that support that role. The nice thing is that you train even when off line. You can stack 24 hours of training so you do need to log in once a day to stay at maximum training speed.

And if you are familiar with RPGs you can think of the ships as classes, they where all designed to do something specific, theres stealthy ones, tanky types wich can take the hits, fast ones that avoid dmg alltogether due to speed, healers and dmg dealers aswell ofc

Hell sure I'll give it a shot who plays currently?

[Tanales]

So what corp/alliances are people in atm?

[Tanales]

Im in a small corp with Bastet called Inferis corp. theres about 60 members, some alts and dual/tripple accounts counted.
We are part of a larger alliance wich operates out of a C5 Wormhole, Inferis have a C3 wormhole for ourselfs. So theres plenty of PvP and ISK for everyone

Disbanding the deadmen corp in a few days, so might need a new place to troll, now that inferno has launched in all its prettiness

I used to be in FireStar, but I doubt my toons are still in there. I think my biggest issue atm would be to get my carrier out of The Veil. It's parked in a now hostile 0.0 outpost, so once I undock it I need to be gone. Think I would need to spend some time trying to sell stuff before making my exit anyways.

found a nice article about EVE

Ive just started the 14day free trial, and aside from encountering confusion on one mission which wasnt very clear, im enjoying the game immensly, so id recommend for anyone to atleast try the trial, but make sure you listen to the tutorials as my free trial friend didnt and paid the price

The tutorial is really important in this game. Also you should watch some youtube videos of more advanced stuff once you know what you want to do.

I reactivated my accounts today, and started a massive fire sale to get rid of all my stuff I have in hostile space. I'm stuck in a hostile outpost in 0 sec atm, and I've loaded all my most valuable ships into my carrier to be jumped out. Just hope I have enough fuel!

My carrier pilot was still in FireStar Inc. as they did not want to leave a capital ship pilot stranded. They are setting up a small op to get me safely out as soon as possible. I think I may just join them anyways, as they are quite a good bunch of people. Highly recommended if anyone wants some nullsec experience. Though I would advise newcomers to the game to spend some time in highsec learning the ropes first.
