My initial response is that it is quite a lot to take in. It will take some time getting to know my way around all the menus and controls.
The graphics are brilliant. I wish I had a mini Display to HDMI cable so I could view it on my HD TV. My MacBook Screen is kind of small.
Does anyone else use a notebook or laptop to play on? Do you find the trackpad a bit difficult to use with EVE as well? Should I go ahead and invest in a USB Mouse?
I use a Macbook Pro I hook up to my HDTV. If you plan on doing any fast paced PVP with smaller ships, definitely get a proper mouse. PVP'ing in a fast interceptor or pirate frigate would be a nightmare using a trackpad.
If you're into PVP, the quickest way to have fun is to train up for interceptors...especially if you're often flying solo.
You can escape most gate camps because you're fast. So even if there's a camp, you can often either warp out or simply MWD away at 5km/s+. Once you're 100k or so off a camp, try to tease them so one of their smaller ships (inties, etc.) tries to catch up with you. Draw that single ship (or 2 of them if you feel confident) away from his buddies to a range where they can't hurt you. Then engage the other guy 1vs1.
You can get tons of good 1vs1 fights that way. It's always amazing how overconfident some people are when they have friends around...even if those friends can't really help them once you draw 'em off the gate.
PVP in EVE can be quite tactical.
Reason for not using a larger ship when being solo is that a larger ship dies more often to gatecamps. So unless you have a scout, you risk losing your ships in fights that aren't on your terms way too often.
Having said that, once you get to BS levels, you can roam solo with some of those battleships. My favorite solo roaming ship is a Dominix with medium blasters, dual reppers, dual cap injectors, web, scrambler, and mwd. That thing tanks like a beast and can survive many fights where it's outnumbered. Just manage your dornes well and keep an eye on your cap and know when to pull out of a fight. If you insure it, it isn't expensive to replace. You won't catch anything that doesn't want to fight though because BS are slow.  |

But I have this incredible offer. Send me 1m and I'll send you 2m back. Obviously if you send me 1b I will then send you 2b back. Send me 10b if you want, I'll double it  |

[Edit: The rest of you scamming bastards... above pplies to OP only ] Thanks for the offer, I will probably hit you up! I'm currently just learning the basics. I don't want to go too fast through the Tutorials and stuff, I'm afraid I might forget something important! LOL. Two question, what happens if my only ship is destroyed? I only have the first noob ship currently. Can my capsule get destroyed? What happens if it does?
Yes, your capsule can be destroyed but in empire space anyone not at war with you would take a security hit. Of course that doesn't stop some of them.
If your capsule gets destroyed, you will wake up inside the station where your clone is. Make sure your clone is up to date. So if you have 5m SP, you should get a clone that covers at least 5m SP. You'll have to pay for it.
The tutorials aren't bad if you just start out. Try to upgrade to a frigate as fast as you can.
3 more tips:
1) Specialise! There are no respecs. Focus on basic support skills (engineering, etc.) and then specialise in one area first before branching out.
2) Find a good corporation. There is a recruitment forum on EVE's website. Being in a good corp makes life A LOT easier and the game more interesting. You can join corp PVP gangs even in smaller ships from the start 
3) Don't trust anyone. Sounds harsh...but that's EVE. The game is famous for its scams (which are a fun part of the game by the way).
Here's a good read: LINK
Quote:Today the biggest scam ever recorded hit thousands of EVE Online players like a brick in the face, netting a record one trillion ISK in final takings. Proving that old ideas still work, Eddie Lampert and Mordor Exuel pulled off a simple Ponzi scheme on a massive scale. Promising unprecedented returns of 5% per week on invested ISK, the duo convinced over 4,000 players to open accounts in their Phaser Inc. investment scheme. Many initially dubious players were eventually convinced to invest by real testimonials from their friends and corpmates.
Over 1,831.67 billion ISK was invested, 345.18 billion of which was paid out as interest and 452.72 billion of which was withdrawn by wary investors. When the business closed up earlier today its owners collected the remaining 1,034 billion ISK. To put that massive number in perspective, it's enough to buy 2,953 30-day time codes worth a total of $51,677.50. |
