SuperMido Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 70	Posted - 2013.04.12 02:32:00 - [1] - Quote Hello people, so I've been following Dust 514 since E3 2011 which was nearly 2 years ago. And been participating in the beta since April of last year, so 1 year so far. Now I'm really interested in trying out EvE Online itself, I know its the world's most complex MMO and the one with the worst learning curve. Thats why I would like to ask for people's help on what I should do to start in EvE. As I type this, I'm downloading the EvE Online Client after signing up for a Trial account. I would really appreciate good tutorials, articles, etc. for beginners.
Valkreena Haederox Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 34	Posted - 2013.04.12 03:54:00 - [2] - Quote EVE University is a pretty decent bunch to check out when you're first getting started. There's a list of things I wish I'd known when I first started playing EVE, but it's so freaking long I don't know where to start. Sadly I can't really offer as much advice as I'd like. I haven't played EVE for quite a few years, but I can probably still do general QnA. Feel free to message me (or Qahnaarin Haederox) in dust if you've got questions.
Casius Hakoke Fenrir's Wolves 63	Posted - 2013.04.12 04:00:00 - [3] - Quote First thing you need to do once you have created your character is to do all of the tutorials. Yes they can be boring but for a new player you get several ships and some nice isk to help you start off with. Don't trust other players with anything, if it sounds to good to be true, then they are most likely trying to scam you. When trying to buy stuff off of the market, don't just click buy from the first screen in the module selection, always click market details then you can select where you want to buy it from and can see where you might get a better deal. Edit: Never buy anything from anybody advertising in local chat. If there 'deal' was really so great, they would not need to advertise it. While I'm not super awesome at EVE, I have played it off and on for about 4 or 5 years now. If you want to link up any let me know.
Ten-Sidhe Osmon Surveillance Caldari State 455	Posted - 2013.04.12 04:03:00 - [4] - Quote After playing dust you should have a little easier time figuring it out, some things are similar. Stay in high sec till you know what you are doing. Don't use autopilot, unless you are carrying nothing of value in hisec.
The Robot Devil BetaMax. CRONOS. 77	Posted - 2013.04.12 04:04:00 - [5] - Quote There are lots of things to do. Mining, mission running and ratting are the usual starting points. Brave Newbies Inc. is a new corp that started in January and makes it in the news. http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/community-spotlight-brave-newbies-inc/ There are training guides and videos if you search for what you want. Eve University is also supposed to be good. I carebeared around for a year learning the ropes and just seeing what's out there. If you want to train faster then implants are a good start, if you like to run missions then there are skills that give you better standings with agents and better payout. Find a corp that does what you want to do and join them, there is so much to do it is hard to decide. Try to stick to one area of game play and focus skill training there. If you do like I did, you will have a lot of skills in places you don't need them to be. Finally, you will be blown up so don't be afraid to try things, keep your speed up, use the directional scanner when in low, null or wormhole space. Good luck. My name is Burl in Faire, drop me an email and if we are close we may be able to fly together. "Yes, there's no safer occupation than mining. Especially when you're perched on a snowball whipping through space at a million miles an hour. [He mimes a snowball whipping through space at a million miles an hour.] Safe!". The Professor

I would go so far as to say never autopilot unless you are in a ship you don't care about. I've seen ganks of ships just because, even with empty cargo holds.

dust badger BetaMax. CRONOS. 295	Posted - 2013.04.12 08:19:00 - [8] - Quote yeah i would go for brave newbies, this is where the action is. also use this link and you will get a plex which is worth 30 days game time or sell it for around 500 mil isk when you subscribe https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=a2c876de-a663-4ca1-9522-bafed2dbad59&action=buddy
Maken Tosch OPERATIVES OF THE GOAT 1964	Posted - 2013.04.12 11:51:00 - [9] - Quote When you are mining in high sec, beware of Hulkageddon when it starts. Google it.

As someone who's loaded and has hauled plenty, if by the time you have enough ISK to be worth ganking you'll also know enough about the game to know how much you can safely haul. Or if you don't learn then you're a scrub mission runner and deserve to lose everything.

Both of these make very important points. Listen to them. You don't have to join EVE Uni, but you should at the very least be reading their wiki online. You SHOULD, however, seriously think about joining a player-run corporation. I know that Dust does a kitten-poor job of facilitating communication inside of corporations, but in both games it is very important. EVE has a lot more tools for it and being in a good corporation you will learn to use them very effectively.

Iron Wolf Saber BetaMax. CRONOS. 3406	Posted - 2013.04.12 13:13:00 - [13] - Quote no no no no the rules are Rule 1# If you cannot afford to do it again, don't do it. Rule 2# Have a plan to kill everyone you meet. Rule 3# If you can't defend it you don't deserve it. Anyways Eve University is a great place to start. Agony Empire if you can afford it and is joined in another corp, get friends at least willing to teach you. If its too good to be true it is.

Agony Empire if you can afford it and is joined in another corp, get friends at least willing to teach you. If its too good to be true it is. Agony Unleashed is THE corp to learn PVP- they offer classes (for a fee) to non-members and you pretty much have to pass those classes to have a chance at joining. However... Those classes cost tens of millions of ISK, plus the cost of ships and equipment. Think of them as a graduate program in Applied Whoopkitten. Right now, focus on the basic undergraduate fundamentals of making money, learning the nuances of the nuances of the nuances of the game. EVE University is a better option for that.
trollsroyce Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 281	Posted - 2013.04.12 13:49:00 - [15] - Quote First learn to just play it. Then learn to study it. Too many miss the first step and fail to actually play the game.

Charizard Zakalwe Immobile Infantry 30	Posted - 2013.04.12 14:38:00 - [18] - Quote 1) Join goonwaffe 2) ride bikes all day long 3) have actual fun playing eve without ever thinking about miners except as potential gank targets
Skillzo Fixo Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.04.12 14:48:00 - [19] - Quote Speaking of Eve, and the Dust-Eve connection, anyone care to link to decent 'Orbital strike' load outs? Bein a complete noobtastic newbro to Eve I am not real great at creating fits in-game, and am really curious what everyone thinks the 'perfect' ship and fit would be for orbital strikes. When an orbital is called for, is it limited to one turret being used to complete the strike? Or if it is from a Destroyer with 6 highs dedicated to the strike would there be greater damage? It looks like it has to be small turrets, right? Thank you
Vermaak Doe SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 695	Posted - 2013.04.12 15:14:00 - [20] - Quote Send "Drake Doe" a message or two, I'll be as much help as I can

It looks like it has to be small turrets, right? Yes, it is small turrets and yes, destroyers get to use all of their guns and are considered the ideal platform for the current iteration of OBs. Basically, you'd fit the destroyer like normal but substitute the "Tactical" ammo for OBs instead of normal ammo. Tactical ammo requires Morphite, so it's a bit pricey, though not insane. Also, get a fleet to cover your back.

That and pumping out Destroyers of various types?

That's heavy speculation but it's possible, though due to the limited size of our initial playground for PC I doubt we'll have much effect if any on the market.

Though I suppose you could probably make a buck if you happened to have a whole lot of ammo for sale in the system. whether it's Molden Heath or ends up being somewhere else is still a possibility. Hush... Stop giving away my industrial corp's SECRET PLANS!!!
