So.. Eve


Blog Code
  • Reading: Eve skill guides
  • Eating: Jaffa cakes!

Okay, I just reactivated my Eve account. I don't feel to dirty, but I am still horribly confused. I also think I cocked up when I made the character, I want to go the route of combat pilot (Bounty hunter plzk) and think I made a bit of a boo-boo, from what I'm reading anyway..

Also, Why the chuff must the download be so big? :(

      I'm not sure I have fucked up entirely, the primary and secondary skills for combat pilots are still quite high on my stat sheet, so.. Might not be a total loss :B

          Spent a few hours talking to people in game, mainly through shock that most of them typed properly, and seemed to know what they were talking about.

            My 14 day trial was pretty fun, but I still have the hang-up of paying for a monthly sub.

    Eve has a very steep learning curve. That's why there's practically no retarded ass holes like those that run rampant in WoW. And yeah it's very difficult to learn the ropes of Eve, I've been playing about 2 months and man let me tell you I know very little. You might be 5-6 months in and still learning. You'll always be learning as you play this game. If you don't mind continually learning and growing than you'll enjoy this game.

      I actually enjoy not knowing a damned thing, gives me something to do within the game, rather than meandering around grinding the same shit without learning anything about the game I'm playing.

      You're not wrong about the learning curve, it's killing me :D

      My main question right now is, what ship should I be aiming at?

      I'm using.. Err, whatever the starting ship is for the Minmitar, Slasher or something?

      I need something with enough firepower to kill things, because of the way I play games (Brute force and ignorance), half decent shields might be a good plan, but looking through the ship listings, it all means a fat lot of nothing to me. I'm just about getting the hand of fitting my ships weapons, and that's pretty confusing :B

        Minmatar ships are pretty fragile but I think you'll be fine. If you're running missions right now to get a feel for the game, then heading toward a Destroyer (the Thrasher) would be a good idea. If you're PVP'ing the Rifter is one of the best frigates to PVP with in the game.

        Either way, after Destroyers and a bit of skill training in guns, power grid etc, a good place to go is Cruisers. The Rupture and Stabber are great Minmatar cruiser ships for both PVP and Missions.

        I don't fly Minmatar but I'll try to answer any other questions you have. It all depends on what you're doing really. As for fitting your ship the EVE Fitting Tool is a great program. I think it can be found in the Ships & Modules forum for the EVE site. You can probably find some more useful Minmatar information there as well.

          Ideally, I want to cruise around in 0.0, because it sounds fun.

          Though, for money, mining seems to be the way forwards. I mean, seriously, I'm not doing badly, even with my pathetic mining laser and small-ass cargo hold.

          Oh, and the other thing. I want to train in the engineer levels so I can use power boosters (The newer of the two accounts has power issues if there's a second weapon fitted), but I don't seem to be able to select anything but show info. I'm guessing I've missed out on something in terms of training to take the skill?

            For skills you can learn you need to buy the books off the market. NPC corporations sell them for a base price, usually a School of some sort.
