>Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
If you have to ask, you can't do it.

>I just started, what should I do?
Do the Opportunities then all the Career Agent missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp. The game is only as boring as you are.

>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No.

i guess the blackbird looks cool too though

in fact all the symmetrical remodels are superior, i take it back

Daily reminder that the moros is the worst dread and the nag is better than the moros in every field of the world

ayo Reyni

what a garbage fit

do you also complain about t3s being op instead of flying them

>not using expanded cargo in pvp

>hey you know A is worse than B in virtually every field
>do you complain about all ships of a particular order being OP
How the fuck is this even relevant you daft cunt? this isn't some inherent difference between ships like T3C's have

The moros is heavily outclassed by the nag in virtually every vector.

The nag and moros do virtually the same damage except the nag's guns get flavor damage so they technically can do more in ANY situation. They have longer optimal, longer fall off and virtually the same tracking. In fact the moros's guns have barely 5% better tracking. Like it matters because you're totally gonna sig tank against a moros right?

The moros's guns will cap it out easily especially after jumping into battle at low cap. The nag has NONE of these problems

the nag also gets better capacitor regen which doesn't make any sense at all.

The ONLY thing the moros has over the nag is slightly better locking range and sensor strength like who the fuck cares.

there is NO reason to use the moros ever anymore

>flying t3s

This isn't saying that dreads are OP as a whole its showing how one has literally nothing over another

wow m8 like u kno wow m8 like dont fly it u know m8 wow

>hey this balance is bad, ccp should fix it
>just don't use it that will fix it

>Grouping your weapons
>Not spreading your guns out to maximise the chance of getting the KM

have fun whoring and not contributing to the fleet's objective

that does not increase your chances at all

>widely known fact that ccp has glacial tempo when it comes to balance
>bitch like a faggot on chinese imageboards instead of flying an obvious superior alternative

I didn't mean shoot different targets with each gun, I meant staggering their timing. My bad.

>just stop complaining and use the other one that'll fix it

that still does not increase your chance of final blow

that doesn't increase your chances at all, you apply the same you hit the same you do the same damage and dps, nothing changes

nigga you can get on the mail by shooting a 200mm AC on a target 100k away

Lorentz fluid

Any idea how long the update will take ? Its slated for 6 am local time. Haven't played in years looking forward to playing again.

usually a couple of hours added onto regular downtime

>Eve general
>a bunch of 1 line meme hidden bumps
Do you faggots actually play the game or are these "19,840" people playing just bots and AFK?

yee

TRISTAN BUFFS WHEN

SERIOUSLY

BUFF TRISTAN

PLEASE CCP.

After they bring the Rifter back to its former glory.

New player looking to start with the Ascension update. I know that your choice of ships is limited to your initial race selection for free players, but how much of a difference does this actually make in terms of playstyles?

Just pick anything other than Amarr and you'll be fine.

Amarr is literally the best, anyone telling you otherwise is just memeing you.

I rolled caldari what's a good mission running ship I should be aiming for as a complete newbie to get started?

one of the destroyers.

It already got nerfed like 8 months ago, it's super slow now

New player again... what level insurance should I buy for my comorant? basic, plat, what?

Speaking of drone boats, is there any guaranteed way to make NPCs not target your drones? I've tried keeping them in my drone bay until all enemies are locked on to me, then launching them, but even then some rats will switch to targetting my drones instead, making me have to constantly replace them.

>enemy AI is smart

Does this game have walking in stations yet?

In case this is a serious question, no, it doesn't. Don't hold your breath.

So can I use throwaway alphas to post scat porn gifs in Jita?

It was half serious I guess? That was the answer I was expecting though.

(I haven't played in like six years)

Sure.

They will, of course, be buried under an avalanche of scams.

Tfwno stork gf too double link, mjd, scram and fit tripple prop for you

I'm also a complete newbie Caldari. I think it depends on the mission, and it's also important to consider what you fit your ship with.

For the first basic missions where combat is likely, I'm currently using a Merlin frigate with 3 small electron blasters, micro power core (or whatever it's called), 5mn microwarpdrive and small and medium shield extenders. It means I have to get in super close to hit anything, but that's what the microwarpdrive is for. The shield extenders were a game changer for me btw. I won't engage without at least one on board, but you do need the micro power core.

It also means I can get unexpectedly blown up and take the loss on the chin, since the whole setup only cost about 800k-1m ISK IIRC. Shop around for the bits. Jita IV is a good place to buy shit.

I thought this WAS the rookie chat channel :)

I look forward to the day when I can decipher this post.

Is there any reason to fly a Huginn over a Rapier? The only advantage I can see is more damage at closer range, but if I want to stay out at 30-40km missiles seem to be better than long range projectile ammo. The Rapier can even fit the same tank so it's not even squishier.

Its stats are all a touch better.

They are entirely differrent ships.

I've never flown either, which is the main reason I'm asking. What makes them so different? Being undetectable on d-scan just seems like a weaker version of the cov-ops cloak and the Rapier only seems to be slightly weaker in terms of health and speed so I'm not sure what the Huginn does to make it worth using over the Rapier.

oneiros

he is lamenting about the fact that he is lonely and has no girlfriend who plays eve with him

What happens if you're in a non-alpha ship and log off in space, later to log in as an alpha clone?

you won't be able to use the ship for other than flying it around I think.
And when you dock it will be locked.

>Being undetectable on d-scan just seems like a weaker version of the cov-ops cloak
Maybe in nigger k-space but in w-space this can lead to amazing ganks that would be otherwise impossible against very careful dscan spammers.

I know what you're saying tho, I used to think the same thing about the falcon/rook.
But you have to understand how some people work and how much trust they put on certain tools like d-scan, many even base their entire system awareness and navigation with dscan, once you take that away from them, they simply die.

>w-space calling other niggers
>at the same time they fart into their dead and dying ~elite pvp~ zone

you mean mars

You mean fleet.

>nobody wants to live in this amazing small gang pvp utopia if they can't make 2 bil per hour exploiting capital escalations
>ccp pls fix

Daily reminder that the moros is the worst dread and the nag is better than the moros in every field of the world

Ccp nerfed them so hard that C5 space went from being the most popular led to the least populated. The escalations became so pointless they were a huge waste of time, effort and risk. Now Russians just bot in rattlesnakes and whenever a new sig opens they mjd and warp off and you never get them

Is it actually possible to solo in a Huginn? I just started living in a wh about a week ago and I'm still learning the ropes. We've done a good amount of small gang pvp but I'd like to start learning how to solo and I'm not interested in the neutboats.

No not really, a curse/pilgrim is better for solo because it gets a big drone damage bonus

The huginn gets what? A missile bonus or an autocannons bonus it's pretty shit with only 4 guns you get like 200dps maybe

Super long webs are pretty meh for solo because you still have to get to point range. Also >medium ACs.

If you want to super fuck with people, use a HIC.

No recon is good for solo.
Some can if they directly counter their target but there is no point, you use them for support or initial tackle and then to control the field.

The pilgrim and rock at pretty dope for solo because they actually get good bonuses to damage and get plenty of weapons to do it

>rock
Rook

Daily reminder that the tormentor and executioner have the same bonus and no other ship class' ships share this redundancy

Daily reminder that you're a shitter redditor who steals his meme from that faggot rhiload
