Ulysses Knapse Knapse and Co. Mercenary Firm 1069	Posted - 2014.01.14 02:29:00 - [1] - Quote Teriffic! EVE Online is a great game, but getting into it can be somewhat challenging. As such, I offer my assistance. Click here for a 21-Day Free Trial, as opposed to the standard 14-Day Free Trial. More time means more time to get acquainted with your life as a capsuleer and as such this is important. Additionally, while jumping into something headfirst is always a perfectly logical approach, some might prefer reading up on the subject first. ISK the Guide is a great place to start as it contains almost anything you need to know about EVE. If you can't find what you need, or didn't understand it, there are numerous other guides out there as well. EVElopedia contains quite a bit of knowledge, though some of it might be slightly outdated. And finally, once you've gotten the gist of EVE, you'll want to optimize your performance. For that, I recommend three amazing tools that even I use on a regular basis. Not strictly necessary, but the following will make your life in EVE much easier: EVEMon is a nifty tool that allows you to plan your skill training and check on it out-of-game. It allows you to quickly and easily optimize your skill training. PYFA is a neat tool that allows you to create fittings and see how they perform statistically without having to create them in-game, and with numerous variables that would be hard to replicate otherwise. ISK Per Hour is a cool tool that allows you to optimize your industrial output quickly and effectively. Who says you need to use spreadsheets to make money?

For privacy reasons, I will not reveal my main character's idendity. What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage? The pile of garbage is more lethal.

I made a spreadsheet once, but it didn't take long for me to notice that it was a wasted effort because 1. spreadsheets aren't necessary, and 2. other people have already made the spreadsheets for you in the form of simple-to-use programs that are actually quite enjoyable to use and which are completely optional. This misconception that EVE is spreadsheets in space is really starting to irritate me. What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?

Before engaging a target I cloak up and prepare a spreadsheet detailing all possible fits and tactics of my opponent. I then create a pie graph comparing the ISK value of ammunition I would need to fire vs the possible drops of my PVP opponent. If the encounter is likely to be profitable I use sources such as killboards to determine the amount of skillpoints the enemy pilot has. I then compare these skillpoints to my own, and add them to my spreadsheet of pilots. After one final combat simulation in Excel, I prepare to engage. Unfortunately, by this time the target warps off.

That's not what spreadsheets are meant for... ThePrinceOfNigeria wrote: I then create a pie graph comparing the ISK value of ammunition I would need to fire vs the possible drops of my PVP opponent. The kill is worth more than the ammunition. Unless you're using a bomb. ThePrinceOfNigeria wrote: If the encounter is likely to be profitable PVPing for profit? That never happens. Ever. While I admire your sense of humor, perhaps you could try not to make jokes that don't portray EVE Online as something it's not in a serious thread about EVE Online? That would be very helpful, please and thank you. What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage? The pile of garbage is more lethal.

Though I am quite generous so if someone needs something in EVE that's not too expensive I could probably help with it. What's the difference between an immobile Minmatar ship and a pile of garbage?

Kristoff Atruin Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1536	Posted - 2014.01.14 19:16:00 - [11] - Quote Pvping for profit is a thing, it's called suicide ganking. The most well known version is where people scan the cargo of freighters and find some dude who is carrying a load that is far too valuable. Then they catch him coming through a gate with a gang of tornado battlecruisers and kill him. They all die to CONCORD, but as long as half of the cargo was worth more than the ships used to gank him they profit. The more accessible version is finding mission runners in highsec who put officer modules and stuff on their pve ships. These guys you can gank with a small gang of cheap destroyers and make a huge profit, though it's more luck based since you never know if the shiny modules will be destroyed or drop as loot.
