Would we need to hide the fact that we prefer gaming on a different platform? if you play the victim in EVE you'll be treated as one. if you go announcing you're a new pilot from dust, then yes. some eve nerd will make his mission to grief you. if you keep from running your mouth you will probably be fine. all it takes is one message in a chat channel to get someone to hunt you. so making some small talk like "i'm a dust play who loves to mine in sector XYZ" = you're going to have a problem. |

You will have the good people, but as soon as you warp out of hisec you're going to find yourself ganked in short order by people who only really do it to be jerks or are trying to pad out their bounty profile. And there's not much you can do about it, either, if you don't have the backup of a real corporation. And getting anywhere in the game sadly requires forays into the wilds of lowsec, especially if you want to actually make any kind of isk. It's this that's kept me from playing the game, I really hate PVP in MMOs. Nothing breaks my immersion worse than that. Is it like proto stomping or is there always a risk of it but mostly you can get in and get out fast enough? I would like that sort of tension but if it was constant non stop grinding stomping every time i left high sec for a mission then that would be annoying
with a lot of thinking involved and the right fit yes you can run blockades known as gate camps. the carebare above doesn't know what he's talking about. the gate camps exist right on the border of low sec high sec before you enter into vast sections of un claimed space with few players because they are too lazy to go that far into null sec, most people just PVP on the border of low sec/high sec because an ideal trading station is close by. by studying your map and learning to recognize and predict player pirate patterns you can go in and out of null sec with ease (you have to go back to high sec to sell your stuff from null sec, and run the one main gate camp that will be 1 sector outside of high sec, so you use a disposable ship for this)
EVE isn't a game where you get proto stomped it's a game where you mess up because you don't fully know what your doing. if you get stomped it's because you missed a step somewhere. EVE allows you to out think your opponent on many levels. |

it can be but once you go for ot ever so long without ever joining a corp you screw yourself out of ever joining one because not ever joining a corp shows on your history that you've been playing for so long and have no history of joining a corp, if you do decide to finally join one most doors will be shut to you because of your history of never joining a corp they suspect your some kind of spy or griefer. i made this mistake. and you'll eventually want to join a corp because the game is severely limited without other players to band with. |

My two month old alt was ganked by one of their gate-camps, and two minutes later I received an apology from their fleet commander explaining that they weren't supposed to kill newbies, and would I like a reimbursement? And lowsec really isn't as bad as people say. You just have to know which systems to avoid. Once you're out there and past the gate-camps, it's pretty much deserted. I've been playing solo in lowsec for two years, and have been ganked a grand total of one time (other than the Eve-Uni camp), and that was because I wasn't paying attention. Lovely thats the pace i want
this is true.. i've lost a total of maybe 4 battlecruisers going in and out of null sec for about a years time. those lost ships i learned what to do next time to keep from loosing them again, they were not PVP ships and were used to blow up and loot NPCs in null sec (which is technically more dangerous than low sec) i would go for hours killing NPCs and maybe see 1 player every 3 hours come and check me out, i would cloak up, watch youtube and then he leaves after about 10 minutes and i go back to my business of looting NPCs. |
