Do the Tutorial then 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. No, really. Find a corp. You don't want to be that guy.

Daily reminder that the moros is the worst dread and the nag is better than the moros in everyfield of the world
William Gomez
Ah yes, well done, HOWEVER
Brayden Roberts
are there any in game events that all different types of players (hc, casuals, wh peeps) come out for? I remember reading about some tournament for a princess?
Nolan Parker
ERP
Carson Rogers
So what's your opinion on the defender missile changes?
Justin Gonzalez
actually giving them a purpose will definitely boost them.
Gives battleships a real defense to bombs
Dominic Jones
It's just that having t3d's with insane tanks for anti-small anti-bomb duty is kinda broken. They're too good already.
Kayden Watson
You mean Command Destroyers?
William Bell
tfw you pretended to be a girl in mmo's when you where 12 and this perv took advantage of it
Tyler Clark
I fit a curse and a pilgrim, and my curse fit seems to be absolutely crap. I plan to do some wormhole ganking in them and my pilgrim fit worked out really well but the curse is just hard as hell for me. I mainly do an armor tank but I guess that's not really an option. Am I meant to do an ancillary shield for self rep, or shield buffer?
John Brown
Have you ever met any underage people in EVE othher than benjo? I have hard time meeting anyone under 20yo.
Gabriel Hall
No, I mean Svipul and 'fessor.
Adrian Roberts
Curse is ewar boat, you can ignore the bonus and go for shield tank if you want though.
Adam Price
...
Juan Perry
the curse gets less powergrid and less lows so its armor tank is absolute ass. It works better as a shield tank because 6 mids but its kind of cheesy
you can do a good active tanked pilgrim though.
They can't fit the new defender missiles only command destroyers. CCP put this in their description
Angel Perez

There's a 14 year old in my corp who does nothing but spew memes all day, pretty obnoxious.
Noah James
I'll try this out and adapt for purpose/skills
Are small neutralizers effective at all against cruisers/battlecruisers? I feel like they'd be next to useless in a relatively short battle.
Aaron Lopez
the small neuts get the same bonus from the curse so yea they work pretty well although I would strive to get medium neuts due to the extra amount
Dominic Fisher
The bigger neuts suck their cap dry. Small neuts keep their cap dry with smaller but faster cycles.
Nicholas Robinson
You can put and ancil rig and fit another medium, but idk, the size combinations and bling depends on you.
Cameron Torres
>damn meme spouting kids! >... >joins pupper
Parker Nguyen
The small are NOS so you get some cap back. Tbh I'd drop the isk on the A-types. They are only like 30(?)M each or so.
Juan Ward

Alexander Gonzalez
>Escalating Entropy
Wyatt Ramirez
>extra money Bitch please. I tried to make a living as a spess trucker. My ideal fucking profession in this game is literally hauling shit around. But people do that shit for peanuts. Less than peanuts, at least you can live on peanuts. Haulers are literally below the "minerals I mine are free" shitters on the effectively-earning-money totem pole. Throw them pennies and they'll haul shit across the entire goddamned galaxy for you, with billions as collateral.
Carter Allen
Is there any activity in eve that a young pilot like myself can do for some decent isk that isn't a meme?
Adrian Rogers
Exploration and market jewing. Say goodbye to high sec as soon as you can.
Brayden Evans
what relic / data sites will not have any rats to deal with? I remember last time I was playing ~6 mos ago there was certain names each signature had and they said to avoid names such as angel, etc. can anyone provide that? gonna try my hand at wh/null sec exploration again in my tin can

I'm sick of mining but it's all I know so I'm gonna keep mining.
What's the best way to make megaisk for an Omega? Exploration?
Charles Diaz
Exploration can be very good if you can stand the scanning and the minigame. Not only is there decent money in it, but you can do it in a very cheap ship, and it's a great way to get over your fear of non-highsec because all the money's in low/null/wh.
Just start looking for data and relic sites, especially relic. Learn to scan, you'll be doing it a lot, especially if you're going through wormholes. It may sound strange, but not only are the sites a lot more rewarding, you're actually safer the farther you get from highsec. Systems bordering highsec and wormholes with HS connections are highly likely to get you hunted down. Holes with low, null or w-space connections, and sleepy deep-sov or npc null systems are often extremely quiet and save while you rack up the loot.
Even as an alpha you can make good money with exploration, though you have to learn to live without a cloak (mostly just means making lots of safespots), and you'll expect to fail the minigames quite a bit. I went from all V's related to exploration to an alpha, and I'm still doing fine, I just make cans explode sometimes, where before I virtually never failed.
Look up the names of ghost sites (it's generally somethingerother "covert" something) and avoid those, and then just avoid anything that doesn't have a pirate faction name. You'll be fine if you do that. You can do the ghost sites, but they'll spawn rats in a little while, and if you fail the can it might blow you up. I usually just hack the first can asap and gtfo when I see them.
C4-C6 holes can only spawn sleeper sites and ghost sites, never the "normal" data/relic sites. That said, it's sometimes still worth diving into a high-class wormhole just to find more holes. They'll have connections to multiple other holes and some are practically made of swiss cheese.
Chase Jenkins
awox him.
Sebastian Rivera
>be in horde >be in m-o >shit is laggy as fuck >fc says "yo lets disconnect so it lags less and we finish it faster" bravo, fantastic game, ccp
Dominic Collins
All they need to do is reduce the pop cap to 2k.
Dominic Rogers
You knew what you were getting in to. Don't show up if you're just going to bitch about it.
Gavin Lopez
FRIENDS
The answer to almost everything in Eve is MAKE FRIENDS
JOIN A CORPORATION, MAKE FRIENDS, HAVE THEM HELP YOU MAKE ISK
I don't know how you're even mining if you're not in a decent corp. Mining in Eve is basically "press F1, open a beer, talk bullshit in comms"
Andrew White
No because the system had 4k people in it with no tidi
Chase Robinson
interesting opinion, but no. being in there doesnt mean i should stop bitching about it and vice versa
Wyatt Allen
how can i tell what class of wormhole im in?
Carson Ramirez
Easy way: check the hole before going in, it'll say "unknown space". If it's C4 or higher it'll be "dangerous unknown space" or "deadly unknown space".
Otherwise, there are various sites like wh.pasta.gg where you can look up the system name and it'll tell you the class, static connections, and some other shit.
Alexander Hernandez
More like press F1, alt tab to media player and fap to furrys.
Isaac Brown
you can also look at the region name. region beginning with A is C1, B is C2 etc.
Caleb Powell
It's that simple? Hu-h.
Jackson Gutierrez
well it's easier to just ask a website than remember all this stuff, when it comes to statics and shit
Jeremiah Ross
You calculate your location by the position of stars, duh. Ez.
Cameron Nelson
Didn't CCP literally change the stars specifically to fuck this over?
Chase Smith
It was denied from ingame by concord.
Ryan Lopez
>whfags
Samuel Taylor
do they only spawn once ive looted the stuff so i can gtfo or do they spawn once i go into the relic site? I just scanned down a a "forgotten frontier quarantine" site and want that phat loot
Gavin Cook
That's a sleeper site, and it will have sleepers inside, and they will try to gank you as soon as you exit warp. And probably succeed.
Even if they somehow aren't there or someone clears them out or something, hacking a can is generally a trigger for another wave of sleepers, so you'd still get your shit pushed in.
Just ignore it, it's a combat site, not a relic/data site. Yeah it sucks that they label it like that in the scanner, but what are ya gonna do?
Ryan Taylor
Why are amarr battleships such shit?
Lincoln Brooks
>Why are amarr ships such shit? Fixed.
Jacob Evans
Because you haven't quad plated that shit.
Jacob Turner
armageddon is good
abaddon is ok at blobbing, it's just not fashionable right now because everyone is flying other stuff. pirate battleships are too cheap not to use. also beams are too hard to fit, and blobs love long range guns
apocalypse has bad bonuses and again long range guns will never fit
Aaron Flores
what kind of ship would i need to eventually take that on?
Gabriel Gonzalez
>archon >'fessor >geddon
Say that again to my face, heathen.

same cap regen as the thorax but the guns use gobs more cap. Has contradictory bonuses that go against each other

Jordan Powell
>a single machariel the keepstar has nothing that can get through 400k+ EHP
Isaac Clark
THERE IT GOES KEEPSTAR DOWN BABY
Daniel Ortiz
the role of a keepstar is to have a place where supercap pilots can hang out and talk about their supers
