EVE Online General /eog/

>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No

>Can I play the full game without paying for it?
Yes, Eve is F2P with some restrictions and you can earn enough money ingame to get a subscription.

>I want to play EVE, what should I do?
Get 250,000 free Skillpoints by using a referral link (chaining them with friends works best)
If you have no friends create two accounts and refer yourself, you'll need an alt anyway.

>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.

We have two threads, what do?

That one has referral cancer, so you can report it and ignore

Use this thread. I might be biased though.

There is literally nothing wrong with weebs

this is now the main thread. stop posting ref links, faggots.

What's so bad about posting ref links?

Everyone else gets butthurt because whoever posts the link gets plex
Even though it benefits the new players too, this is why we cant have nice things

kys

'WORLD WAR WEEB'
wtf is this shit.

How do I convince WoWfags to play EVE?

Do I get them to make alpha accounts then take them on a fleet roam in null?

>Everyone else gets butthurt because whoever posts the link gets plex

>t. refposter

But no, it's because you earn plex when the new users should make their own ref links for themselves.

>Even though it benefits the new players too

Even though it benefits the new players too? Sure. By having them make their own ref links then ONLY the new players get benefitted, and not one single refposter in /eog/

>this is why we cant have nice things

making our own refs is the best thing

You overestimate the level of understanding a typical newfag has for eve and how it works
Making multiple accounts to reffer yourself is too bothersome and illogical for most of them
Clicking a link and proceeding to make an account however, is easy.

Out of cap FC.

Jump drive appreciation society suck bloody, shitty ass.

reflinks are against the rules so stop shilling your jewfest

>pcgamer
biomass irl

Find something fun and share it.

EVE seems to have always been about taking out as much as you can, whether in a BS, cruiser, or frigate.. The latter-most is probably going to be a bunch of Tristans or Merlins, but Gallente is the choice for Alphas..

Also, learn to move by space clicking. It makes the "WoW but ships" argument obvious.

Volley (alpha) fleets exist. Ships that have low rate of fire (~DPS) but high initial damage, like a Talwar.

>no rigs

Should I join Lazerhawks and do wormholey shit, or form/join a pirate group out in lowsec/npc null, and go raiding sovnull mining ops when moongoo gets changed?

>raid mining ops
inb4 you lose your entire fleets to rorquals.

>Light Missile Launcher I

That was made when either meta were expensive, or because of fitting.

Lazerhawks it is then, because nothing that can tank a rorqual is going to be fast enough for that kind of raiding.

I heard there was WEEB war shitposting happening?

Is solo hisec suicide ganking still viable? Can you still warp a cheap battleship into the middle of a pack of ice miners and podkill them all with smartbombs? I haven't played this in years and still have some billions of ISK to blow.

>Is solo hisec suicide ganking still viable?
Yes. Assuming you have an alt ready to scoop loot.
>Can you still warp a cheap battleship into the middle of a pack of ice miners and podkill them all with smartbombs?
No. I don't think this was ever a thing solo. If you've got 4-5 dudes maybe but then you're spending close to a bil per gank.

Just talos to ensure the kill.. 2/3 catalysts can kill T2 barges.

>large fleet battle
>get primaried first

>I don't think this was ever a thing solo
I can assure you it was. Broski Enterprises (old /v/ corp) had someone who did it quite successfully, repeatedly. The only time he had problems was when they'd have drones which intensified the CONCORD response.

>Assuming you have an alt ready to scoop loot.
I would, but the loot wouldn't be the point. Mass miner podkills would be the point, hopefully with lots of implants.

Smartbomb DPS caps out at something like 230 per ship. You could probably hit ventures and covetors, but even a non-retarded hulk can deal with the ~7k damage before concord shows.

Might have been doable in the past, but it's definitely not now.

>I haven't played this game in years but I still want to see it die

Yeah right. You're the kind of bitch who dies to obvious bait.

>EVE with 60k+ online
It's so fun though..

>faction data analyzer
>no faction relic analyzer

is this real life

>yfw 45k out of 60k are in highsec

Pretty sure the faction one is both relic and data in one item.

if you're talking about the 'purloined' weird thing, it's not a real module, it's some kind of event meme thing from years ago

You can still use echelons tho.

I really wanted a 80/40 relic tho so I can button mash my way through everything

:(

WHAT DID THEY DO

We currently have a small ~10 man group in Uemon, and are looking for more pilots. So far we are all a loose collection of pilots from different corps, although some of us have flown together in the past.

We offer free Thrashers, Slashers and Griffins. And Bubble Camp in Etherium Reach.

We Stage in Uemon, and JF services from Jita are super cheap with blackfrog, like 110 mil for 320km3 and 2 bill in assets.

We also are looking to get more pilots for BLOPS, Cloaky Camping, and maybe some otheir doctrines.

PM Prize Bot in game for more info. Minmatar Alpha Clones Welcome as well..

Fug you. I'm gunna blob dumbos in 1.5 mil thrashers until I can retire.

>in irl

in irl life

is this the real rl?

>want to run unironic maller fleets
>can't be bothered putting the effort in
>nobody would join anyway

Reminder that cloaky camping doesn't work if people know you don't have a cyno.

...

IIRC, it's still there somehow.

There are other in-game browsers supposedly.

because everyone living in low, wh or nullsec has alts in empire

your in the club when this guy warps within 13km of your girl and locks on to her ass

what do you do?

kill him

Laugh at the 163 dps trying to break her tank

Is this an indication on how low the game's gone?

Could a no SP toggle come without issue?

Do enlighten me. Alt-tabbing is the bane of explorer lifestyle.

>want to get dank killmails in lowsec

>have less than 80 million SP
>have less than 4 alts
>have less than 20 bil saved
>play in AU timezone

How do I build "Eleet PVP" experience without a way to get started? The only ones offering a foot in the door are so retarded it would be a stumbling block trying to go anywhere else.
I can fly and know what I am doing, but don't have the connections to live the Lowsec life, should I just go solo and make friends by being a honoribru gfer?

yes, or go to nullsec

>community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/bidding-farewell-to-the-in-game-browser/

Just found this. Apparently theres a thirdparty app called 'overwolf' that works well with EVE.

>no mtu but for salvaging
>can't use my 3 small drone slots for salvage drone because alpha

This is fucked up. Salvage drone and mining drones should be alpha reee.

I got an exploration imicus for low/null/wh.

should I go with stabs or nanos?

stab
>more likely to be able to warp if pointed
>it will take longer for me to initiate warp
>50% less scan resolution per unit, making it slower to lock targets and hack

nano
>unlikely, or impossible, to be able to warp if pointed
>it will be faster for me to initiate warp
>can make it through sites and warp bubbles faster
>weaker ship structure

so I guess the question is:
am I more likely to get blapped before I can warp away?
or
am I more likely to die from getting pointed/killed in warp bubbles?

I guess I could have one stab and two nanos

if you run a data and relic analyzer I'd say drop the data anylyzer for the biggest shield you can fit then run stabs.

desu you should just fly a 4 stab magnate tho b

>most efficient ships for the job are destroyers and the noctis
>destroyers cant use drones anyway

>The dragoon and algos don't exist

I like to pretend they doesnt exist.

>shit fitting says 15/hp shield regen
>heals like 3-4 hp a second in space

what the fuck

Shield regen isn't consistent. Both your shields and capacitor regen more the closer to 30% you are and less the further away you are from it, so if you're at 99% shields it could take a long time to reach 100% from base regen.

what the difference between security and millitary missions

anyone wanna toss me a referral? I am too broke to buy member right now but I wanna check it out. I'll wait a few mins and if not I'll just make two accounts.

secure.eveonline.com/signup/?invc=95c1dbd7-5505-488e-bdcf-2ed798772452&action=buddy

Military is just the term used for the tutorial career agent missions. They're basically the same thing, just that security missions are "the real deal."

well is the shield regen shown in fitting the median regen or is that its maximum?

youtube.com/watch?v=0ojR7E8Xymk
What went wrong?

Thats the maximum at the ideal recharge rate.

thanks bro

>people have to use discord

why doesn't eve just run it's own voip ingame like wtf lel

It has its own voip, but its shit and doesn't support a wide array of shit
