Give him three months. He ought to be in a good ship that can do something by then.

You still haven't given us your thoughts on EVE...

I really love DUST 514. It is honestly a great game, even with its few bugs and what not. I have been getting more and more intrigued by New Eden in general. I went out and picked up Templar One, which I'm about to start reading presently.

I started a 14 day trial just to see what all this EVE hype was about. I'm not a PC gamer per se, so I went and looked up the system requirements. Turns out my lil ol' Mac Book Unibody is sufficient to run it. So, I'm currently downloading the client.

CCP, you have made a fanboy out of me! I guess, with my love for RPG gaming, it wasn't that difficult to reel me in though! Next step, begin working on the neckbeard

So, does anybody have any pointers for an EVE noob?

Let the trolling begin!

I'm 5 months in and it can be really addictively fun when you get fleet ops going, a bit heart pounding when you get hot dropped, and oh so satisfying when you make a kill.

Lol you guys. Unless he has great teachers and true vets really pointing him in the right direction for EVERYHING, 5 months ain't gonna make him jack **** in the eve universe and you know that's true.

Even if by some miracle he does everything right , there are many systems to learn and master. In eve skills mean a lot more than they do in DUST.

However good luck spacemarine guy, dont be put off by early setbacks and ALWAYS only run what you can afford to lose.

EDIT - After thinking about this more, assuming he gets in with a good crowd and gets taught the tight knit ways of semi decent or better pvpers then yea he might make a few tears.

LOLLOLLOL!

Ultramarines in EVE! Na on a serious note buddy good luck, dont expect rewards to come easy or fast. A year into EVE and you are still considered by most to be a noob.

I played for about 4 years before I took a break to play dust. I still felt like I only ever got half way to where I wanted to be. (I.E Supers and other things)

She actually plainly stated that she doesn't believe in god, or the faith to her mother.

She is genetically engineered from her Amarr Ancestors, and artificially inseminated into her mother.

She is under the mind control drugs administered by Falek Grange. She is completely under his control.

Grange engineered her DNA, plotted to hide her from the True Amarr Heirs, until he could elevate her to Empress, then just before he did, he gave her the slaver drug.

She is Empress in name only...

Yup I happen to have a good crowd and in PC the majority of combat at the moment Minmatar vs Amarr is being done sub Cruiser, all modules for which I have to tech 2, which makes me competitive enough to fight in fleets and solo.

You can do a lot in 5 months, not enough to make you some godly player but enough that will make you passable enough to enter corporations.

Is PC FW doing anything in EVE? Last I was playing FW was a red headed step child of craptacular proportions.

I bestow upon you your 1000th like.

HaHa! This sound familiar

Indeed.
Once upon a time you did the same to me in a certain threadnaught.
Funny, that's responsible for nearly a thousand of my likes on its own atm.

For those following this thread, I finally got started with the Tutorials in EVE.

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?

mail me your eve character name in-game (i.e. i won't be back in this thread lol) if you need some starting isk. mining or missioning early on to pay for skill books is boring.

[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?

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.

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.

2 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

So far, I have frigate to 3, and is training to 4 as per tutorial.

I think I'm flying a low level frigate as well. It's the 1st ship you have to go get in the tutorial.

I also put armor and shield in the que, but i think it only let me que armor, not sure.

How many skills can you have qued at once. Does it depend on another skill or something like that? I think currently it will only let me have 1 skill in que.

yer sure, ill just walk you through the entire eve experience via the dust forums...

get ur character in -u- pub, and stop being a loner, me and wraith are waiting for you :)
