When I was dicking around in W-space, I ended up in some corps back yard. They destroyed my ship, and said they would pod me unless I gave them 50 mil. I laughed at em and told them to go for it, there was no way I could afford it and I didn't have any valuable implants anyway. I got a quick trip back home.

Uhh.. so if I can't train for an industrial ship... how else can I get a ship woth 500m3+ cargo space? I tried the gallente variations on all other types of ship and they're either too much for a newbie or don't have enough cargo. The minute I try to accept the mission it tells me I require more than 500m3 space.

sigh, i'm giving it another shot but look!

Just make 2-3 trips. If it's a tutorial mission they shouldn't have you making too many jumps.

Let me send you some expanded cargo space. What's your current ship/number of low slots.

EVE ONLINE does not hold your hand. It does not give you everything, or anything except the freedom to do some great things. But nothing great comes easy, Calleja. It is not simple, or linear, or gentle. It is player against player, and in the respect very human. It takes effort, determination, and cooperation to play, but being part of a coordinated war, it's the real thing closest we can get to actual military maneuvers. It is sooo worth it if you have the will to stick it through, but the UI/beginning can definitely shake down those who are expecting something that caters to their needs instead of giving them a world without rules.

For that mission you don't actually need to deliver the ship you are building anywhere, it just gets stored in your ships tab at the station, and then you turn the quest in. I'm not sure why it tells you that you need the cargo space, seems like a useless message if you don't have to deliver it anywhere.

Yeah, I remember that one confusing me a long time ago on my older trial account. Never in the tutorials do you NEED a large cargo capacity, it either puts the item directly in the hangar it's supposed to be or you can accomplish the mission making multiple trips. I think the message is there by design to warn you when you need a mission objective which is larger than your ships cargo altogether, not necessarily that you'll have to fit it in your cargo all at once.

I'm still having fun with this, still only going through the military tutorials (part 8 of 10 now).

I think I will buy this game at some point in time
Click to expand...
When I exited from STEAM I got an offer which was 19.99 for the game + all (current) expansions which sounds pretty cheap if you're interested. It sure is pretty.

I'm doing that same military tutorial as it was recommended to do that one first.
I'm still horrible confused but I'll get the hang of it. : )[/QUOTE]

Expansions are included in any of the clients. Due to the nature of the game its impossible for them to provide a client to some players with more or less functionality than others. Would totally bone the design.

That said, the 20$ for the full game is, I believe, the standard price (as it includes 1 month game time as well.)

Straker, fucking awesome you got into the guardian. That is mad tits. I'm about a week away from a stealth bomber myself, and just pulled in enough money to buy a couple more HACs. I think at this point we need to start doing low sec gank roams as a group. Put people in frigates and cruisers with one of the older players flying something a bit more substantial (BC+).

What we really need at this point is someone who can fly ewar/ECM. In the fight I had with yall that was the single most disruptive thing yall did to me, when you jammed me, and in pvp its no different. I know Mal just trained up for a Griffin, which is ok, but we really need someone to get into a blackbird (its bigger brother).[/QUOTE]

I've adjusting my training plan; I'll be in a blackbird in 3 days 17 hours.

Ok so, quickest path to being able to kill someone solo, anyone?

Shit hit the fan with Cryptic today, may not be continuing with STO.
Click to expand...
I don't know if I have a good answer for that. Quickest path would probably be a T1 fitted rifter, a trip to lowsec, good skills at using the scanner, a lot of patience finding someone solo, a number of horrible fiery deaths while you learn what you can't kill, and finally a little bit of luck where you find someone in a garbage fit cruiser or frig and then...boom goes the dynamite.

Seriously, if you like sci-fi just gtfo STO, game is a joke compared to eve. You seem to be a fan of PvP and there is no more a serious pvp mmo experience out there. Problem is that a lot of people want good PvP and don't want to work for it. If you want easy to pick up pvp go play TF2. Its a fantastic game and offers that quick adrenaline rush. In EvE the PvP is much more in depth. Strategy, tactics, bluffs and double bluffs. Spys. Everything. It is the ultimate form of competition in an MMO. Fuck, I trade and I can honestly say that the trading is some of the most gruelling pvp I have ever participated in.

No one makes a better enemy than a human. But. BUT. There are no shortcuts. There's no perfect builds (although there are lots of lolfits). There's no "Train this, get in this, ????, Profit!" (with the exception of the falcon). That's because the balance is good enough that you really are playing against a human. Not playing against the game.

Anyways, we need ECM pilots. Bad. Griffin -> Blackbird -> Scorpion.

Edit: Just saw dave's post, scratch the ECM thing. Although....we could always use more ECM pilots.

How good are ECM drones? I was wondering whether they could be useful if I got attacked in a mining fit in low-sec (or even .5 or .6 space). My Arbitrator carries a stash of acolytes and hammerheads just in case, but they won't help much if someone in a BC/BS attacks me.

Isn't there perma death? I never have played more than a day or two so I always assumed there was perma death, one of the things that peaked my interest in the game as well as its open pvp system

no, there is no permadeath, but there certainly are very painful consequences if you lose a ship that took a year or two to build, and uninsured skillpoints and implants. Eve doesn't kill it's subscription pool, but it doesn't pull any punches either.

ECM drones are nasty enough that a lot of people say "use them while you can".

Also, did anyone else just get booted from the game? I can't log in

Yup, I closed the game due to nonresponsiveness and can't get back in. I was worried it was just me.

I may take advantage of the $9.99 steam deal, maybe. Gonna mull it over the weekend. I'd jump in head first I just hate to abandon a mmo so easily, one I've only begun beginning to play.

Does everyone in a corps have to be the same race / faction? I like the Gallente as a whole, rather than Amarr.

we're all over the place. To be honest, race has very little to do with the game beyond the first couple of weeks. Unless you plan on roleplaying. Before you start, while you are mulling it over, I would suggest you read some beginners guides about the game to get an idea what you are getting into.

also, some of yall may have noticed that the refining facilities are down. As of right now I don't have the time to do that, and there isn't any profit to speak of for me to do it. I'll do my best to make sure everyone gets paid out on any remaining items soon (you will get it eventually.)

The good news is that there is really easy way for you new guys to make cash. My trade empire focuses around regional buy orders. This leaves a lot of goods scattered all over the damned place. I have decided to stop hauling that shit myself and make contracts for members of the corp to haul it for me. Since, for the most part, I know yall and can trust you, there won't be any collateral required. That said, if someone steals from me I will kick you from the corp after I pod you. Anyways, each of these runs will pay between 2-5 mil isk and will be roughly 2-5 jumps, all centered around tash murkon. Most of the hauls will be between 5 and 25k m3, so it may take you more than one trip. I'll do my best to make the hauling jobs in the right size range for you.

Anyways, easy money. Just need to get an industrial and some cargo expanders, and there's an easy couple mil a night. To find the contracts go to your contracts tab. You will see a line that says that there are contracts assigned to the corp. open it up and pick one that you feel like doing.

If you want to get back to Hal Industries space, open the map, search for Tew, and plot a course for Tew Vii using destinations. Make sure to use safe space routes, even if it means going on autpilot. Dont go below 0.5

Ok, all. Just registared here from the OOTS forum. I managed to get my main character back and I'm way over in Caladari space in Hek. I've got to take my several Haulers and Retriever from that area of space over to Tew....which I have no idea how far away it is.

In the mean time I'm skilling up Mining Barge to 4 and I'm going to have to look into the research thing again. I noticed that I have several Tech I BPOs for small blasters and several data cores which means at one time I was going to try and research a Tech II gun.

I'll just dump my ore and minerals for now and pack up my Rifters and cruisers and head on over...its going to take a several days and I'm going TDY next week and I'm not sure their wireless connection will be fast enought to play EvE.

In all, I'm getting excited to play again.
