>Now what?
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.

You were about to be raped desu senpai

What's a nice braindead task I can give a new friend while ratting?
Orbit me and remote tracking boost?

Salvage

Have him send you encouraging messages as you fight baddies.

They would have had to have been ready to probe him out in order to land near his insta-undock but no-one thought to fit a long point or bring a vexor instead of fucking 7 catalysts.

Salvage, and target paint the rats.

>Join corp
>3 days later CEO rage quits alliance
>People in alliance TS and pub chat trying to figure out what happened through me
>I have no fucking clue but I'm the only active member in my 20 man corp so I'm getting grilled
>CEO is nowhere to be seen

Just once in my life I'd like to join a corp that isn't shit.

>falling for the corp meme

corps = content
There's only so many times you can whelp BCs and run sites

Should have joined one of the bigger corps, I guess except for TEST, they're about to disband

>corps=content

Join Pupper.

>playing an MMO by yourself

karma or ph?

>Lowsec is full of people
>then I get killed despite having an empty hold
This isn't what I was promised

If you're outside of high sec you will be killed just for being there. Why would you expect anyone to leave you alone if they could catch you?

Lowsec is the PVP grounds of other MMOs. If you want to be safe, go to sov null.

1 more hour until we get some more lore gifts

Should I keep the box with lore gifts are try to hawk it down the line?

literally worthless senpai
over 50,000 of every gift has been claimed

I wish I could start playing EVE again, but my character is stuck in nullspace far away from the empires, I used all my money to buy a Drake and there's no way I can get it back home to sell it safely.. And no one's gonna buy it in nullspace.

I sure done goofd.

make an alt and use that account to farm them dank anom bounties

Keep using it until it blows up.

>set home station to high sec
>pod self
>buy and sell a plex
>???
Has there literally ever been any instance of any of the lore gifts being worth anything ever

karma. PH doesn't offer reimbursement.

What region, and are you docked?

If you've been unsubbed for a while, file a stuck petition. CCP will usually move you and one ship out of null.

PH, obviously. Unless you like being hated/laughed at by pretty much everyone. Oh, and if you enjoy mining, yes.

Not getting on with exploring

What are the other options for someone just getting into the game? Gotta few hundred mill to outfit whatever but I'm not sure what I can do for that

Daily Reminder that the moros is the worst dread and the nag is better than the moros in every fucking way

Daily check to see if Banjo is back yet

join a large null corp since they like using alphas as junkyard dogs on gates to deal with lone travellers.
Or amass some more millions to plex up and try out omega

>ratting in VNI

This is really afk

The most exciting time of the day has finally arrived! I sure hope it isn't lore items again.

These lore items aren't even new. I got these days ago. CCPLZ

literlaly what the fuck

I got a ship model..
maybe it will be like pinochio and turn into a real boy on christmas

The game is telling you to take the shit and fuck off.

Got my first corp invite

...fucking hell

whoops

>ponies in 2016

>forget about my skill queue when I logged off last night
>lost 8 hours of skill training today

How will I ever recover?

file a ticket and someone will give you free XP as comp

This is due to killboard ISK efficiency culture.

or it's due to pvp being fun

Did you type that with a straight face?

...

Phew, I thought I was gonna get baited.

>implying pvp isn't always fun

>fly with a fleet
>find some guy in a Sabre
>he runs away
>continue flying with the fleet for an hour
>return back
>that Sabre still sits on a gate
damn, must be very fun for him

The killmails are pretty fun desu.
I often camp gates in blap thrashers looking for new people heading to/from null in pods or shuttles.

Is there a guide to which faction of pirates spawn in which regions of null?

Hold up newbros! Here are a few things that will NOT make you isk, they include:
>mining
>rating
>exploration
>pvp
>missions

Hope you have fun pvping in that rifter until you get bored, and hey, thanks for playing EVE and supporting your local corp as feeder tackle!

...

I need a good level 1-2 Thrasher fit. The one on eveuni is super old.

No, PVP isn't always fun. The one two instances in which PVP is actually fun is solo PVP, and massive battles without TiDi, and both are rare nowadays. The game outgrew the developer.

I think you are simply not autistic enough to enjoy this game.

Train light missiles, use talwar instead. Done.

Fuck.
Did I fuck up? What should I change for running PvE and ratting?


[Thrasher, Thrasher]
Gyrostabilizer I
Fourier Compact Tracking Enhancer

1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner
Upgraded Thermal Dissipation Amplifier I
Medium C5-L Emergency Shield Overload I

200mm Light Galium Machine Gun x7

Small Semiconductor Memory Cell I
Small Anti-Kinetic Screen Reinforcer I
Small Projectile Collision Accelerator I
Phased Plasma S x50000

>Talwar
>PvE

He wants to live longer than 3 minutes, I'm sure.

a talwar will out last a fucking thrasher with missiles from 50km

I don't think you need a tracking enhancer, drop it for tank or something.

If you're trying to pvp with it, swap the AF for an MWD and add a scram and web, then just burn towards them and melt them with your autocannons. Dont go up against fast AB frigates or any frigate with an MWD. Also you will lose it.

If it's for pve you can keep the AB but it'll be kinda slow. Just shield tank it and fit either 2 gyros for more guns, or a gyro and damage control for more tank. For rigs you can either tank it harder or make it hit harder with shield or projectile weapon rigs. Even a shit fit thrasher will breeze through t1 missions up until the SoE arc final boss.

IF YOU FIT AN MWD, TURN IT OFF ONCE YOU'RE IN BRAWLING RANGE.

Thanks Veeky Forumsbro

How would a rocket talwar fare against a close range MWD thrasher?

>rocket talware
fuck that use light missiles

A thrasher would rape a talware at sub 10km, the talware doesn't do nearly as much DPS

As the other guy said, the caldari nova light missles wreck shit up.

>explosive damage
>in a shield tank meta

Is there anything better than drinking and mining?

>implying people don't fly armor at all

its situational nigger just bring multiple ammo types

There are no good Talwar fits anywhere for pve :(

Drinking and running level 3 when you warp in, accidentally leave your drones behind at the station since you launched them too early, and enter right into the middle of 10 frigates when all your guns are only half loaded.
6mil in loot and I don't even remember getting the kills.

yea there are

Micro Auxiliary Power Core II
IFFA Compact Damage Control
Ballistic Control System II

5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
Medium Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender
Initiated Compact Warp Disruptor


Arbalest Compact Light Missile Launcher, Caldari Navy Nova Light Missile x7

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer II
Small Core Defense Field Extender I
Small Core Defense Field Extender I

fit it how ever you like

Would take 3 months to get the tier 2 stuff, tier one versions ok?

yea T1 stuff is ok

3 months to get T2 stuff? what are you missing?

Newbros are missing everything.

I mean what takes 3 months for that fit?

Micro Power Core 2 is like 17 days,
Ballistic is around that.

you don't need that if you use a compact shield extender, use the T1 microaux instead

This is a PvP fit, not PvE.

then drop the disruptor for a TP or something

...

Thats a lot of gas

Hooray!

>buy injector
>get all shield skills you need

You'd get them to what level 2 with an injector?

So buy more of them. They're only like 700,000,000 each

>Following some fit on some random website

Are people this fucking stupid, and why?

>5mil rigs

oh man that must break the bank right there m8
