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.

Previous

Ah shit, I guess I finally decided to jump on this boat.
Does it really matter which race I pick?
Any tips/things I should know?
pls no bully

unless you sub you will be stuck with that races ships and weapon type

race changes how you look and what ships you can use unless you get the game
Give me your lunch money kid

in your opinion, which has the most A E S T H E T I C ships?

minmatar

Are there any corps/alliances based out of Thera who are there because they can strike anywhere on the map from there?

minmatar or caldari
desu id go minmatar so you can live your wewuz fantasy and ontop of that minmatar ships are prob the most versatile

Amarr, in most people's opinions, has the best looking ships, but their alpha clone ship selection is pretty poor. If you're looking to play as a non-subscriber for a while I'd suggest picking either Caldari or Gallente. Of those two Caldari has the better looking ships.

EvE-Scout maps Thera.
But I think if you're looking for a PvP based WH corp stick with Hardknocks, Holecontrol, Holesales, LAZERHAWKS, Wingspan etc.
Pretty much every c5, c6 corp can strike anywhere on the map. those guys are deep enough down inside the grid --

Pick Gallente / Caldari, those races got really good alpha ships, Minmatar are good too but ugly asfck & Amarr while shiny are just fcking bricks.

amarr or gallente

Amarr has best paint job and the ships look good all around but none look amazing except the Avatar which looks like it's a giant suicide ship. Shits bretty gud.

Gallaente has tristan and incursus which are literally the best looking ships in the game and they are just frigs

can someone give me a quick rubdown on FW

I just did a novice capture and now I'm doing a small one in my frig. I sorta enjoy getting 300k per npc destroyer kill and they spawn pretty often to make a couple mill just afk orbiting for 15 minutes.

What should I be focusing on though in terms of fun

Everyday until you like it

also why are the npcs that spawn and defend from my own faction? Am I killing my own bros? Am I scoring a goal for the enemy team?

Can I kill a Skiff or Procurer with my exploration frigate?

not in high security space (0.5 to 1.0)
and i guess a procurer got enough drones to defend himself, so attacking it with anything else than minimum an astero might not work...

Fighting other T1 frigs is a lot of fun

Because you're clearly a treasonous faggot

>solo videos
>they deal with small groups without getting fucked
>I try to 1v1
>barely survive if I'm lucky
>anything beyond that is die trying to take someone else with me
Help, I dont know how to git gud.

>tfw I just died to a catalyst in FW

we just have to blob our shitty T1's together and kamikaze into the enemy bro

>what fits are you using
>what are you trying to fight
>how are you flying
?

how many tracking disrupts should I have for PvP. Should I use two on one enemy for maximum no range?

How do I use the tracking speed part properly?

>what are staged fights

>300k per destroyer kill
The tags for destroyers are 30 not 300 k
Its the LP where most of your income comes from anyways, keep track of that

Fuck around for a couple of days in shitty t1 frigs
Once you get to know the area pretty well for navigating without having to look up the map or routes, and once you meet the local gankers farmers and pirstes, so you know who to avoid, get a decent frig fit and try fighting

they are listed as 300k in the tool tips so maybe someone is messing with the market? But I had a couple million from killing a few npc destroyers.

yea double checked. Even in history at their lowest they sold for 150k.

no wait actually there is a small drop for a few days where it went to 70 but that was for 15 days like last month.

It moves at around 20-30 units a day lul.

>Is it too late to start playing EVE? No
Thats a blatant lie and you know it.

>lying about lying

>ywn nut on Jamyll's face

I have 1.5m sp and ive killed 3 guys who have played for several years today
One of them talked to me, he says he has 75m sp
Ive also earned about 1.5 billion last week

Its not too late if you arent a shitter

Is the planetary management stuff still useful? I started again recently, and had completely forgotten that it was something they added.

>set destination without paying much attention to the actual route
>realise one jump before it's too late that I'm heading into a bubble camp
>close one heh
>turn around and get smartbombed on gate

Ofc

mid-grade nomad epsilon

>being lulsec cuck to fill the time
>other lowsec pirates invite me to chat
>turn out to be total bros
>join fleet
>spend rest of day ganking lazy whales

Wew, I thought it would be a lot more unfun than this.

>not having AT LEAST 6 bookmarks around every gate in low/null
thats why you got smartbombed scrub

>tfw I thought /dog/ did the reply-without-giving-yous thing a lot but now I check /poeg/ and I find they do it a lot more but without reaching /sc2/'s levels of off-topic posts and IRL blogging
Every general is a country.

Stabber Fleet Issue

>calling it you
>being a newfag

I could call them light blue clovers with red exclamation marks if it appeases your autism.

Can anyone suggest some decent alpha clone dragoon or arbitrator fits for doing some missions? I love drones but i absolutely hate the looks and lore of gallente.

Not looking for anything amazing, just stuff that will work.

>stabs in lows
>oversized prop
>warp speed rigs

That should get you out of highsec as fast as possible.

>recommending shitfits

Just play with the simulation a bit or download pyfa or EFT.

The gist of the fits should be damage control, small armor repairer for dragoon/medium armor repairer for arbitrator, cap recharger mids, energized adaptive nano membrane, explosive and maybe kinetic armor hardener. 1mn and 10mn afterburner respectively.

is that thing even decent at brawling?

Daily reminder that All-Out has been reformed.

If you're a newbie and you have an interest in wormhole space, you should contact us. We're tailoring this to be accessible for alpha (f2p) characters, as insane as that sounds.

Apply or join our public channel OwO What's this?.

what wh are you guys basing out of

>shilling reddit corps

C2 with C3/hisec static this time around. We're gonna take it by force from its current loner resident.

No redditors allowed.

>No redditors allowed.
Why won't you leave white stag then?

>hisec static
that's just asking for trouble...

what's the J number?

Give me the rundown on ShekelSquad.

But we did.

j01N4110U7

I'm not interesting in joining unless I know the J number

What does it mean when the womrhole screams HAAA HAAA HAAA?

>haha just tell me ur homesystem haha :^D

We're not even moving to j-space until we have enough tax revenue to buy a keepstar.

...

>5'

It means your FC thinks you have a shitfit.

...

I want to know if the system has good planets before I make a commitment

Alphas can't do PI, neck yourself.

Yes

>Shad
Are you trying to put people off on purpose?

This null life is pretty lame. It's all ratting and gate bubbles. I'm really thinking about dropping corp. Is WH any better?

Do something else then, Produce, mine (LOL), FC, go on small roams with your corpfags and no F1 blobbers. and who knows else.

Or fuck the nullbearing f1 blobbing faggotry and go WH/lowsec and become the solo god that you truly want to be or join with other intelligent god-tier pilots and forget the sheep life.

WH is love
WH is life

desu im thinking about getting into WH stuff too but im not sure what corp to join

I am second guessing even linking this but here goes
Maybe learn to breath with your mouths closed before applying.
It will be fun desu.

What can one even do im wormholes?
Highsec-mission running, incursions, carebear mining, trading and industry for marginal profity
Lowsec-fw, pvp small gang/solo skirmishes, mission running again, piracy
Nullsec-bluespace carebear mining, ratting, industry for jewing out your fellow blues, mandatory fleets where nothing exciting really happens since its just blobfests and superdrops
Wh-sleeper sites exploration PI....what else is there besides that?

I assumed All-Out was more tailored for Alpha clones and new dudes
iv been playing on an off for 5ish years now

Wormhole brawling
Evictions
Roaming gangs all over null
Black Ops
Ganking ratters, both in W-space and K-space
PI
Sleeper sites
Exploration
Gas huffing
Industry and capital ship production

>Oh my god an artist I personally dislike

The picture looks fine. I really dont get this attitude. You do realize half of the actors in america are utter fucking tools and the other are religious nuts or leftist morons, right? Yet I bet you still watch the movies they make.

Or is separating the author and the artwork too much to ask?

>tfw you realize that you are flying for hours absolutely alone and doing nothing and you like it

I heard there's a war going on because of smug anime girls or some shit? What's wrong with you people

It's just discord drama. Ignore.

If i fill my training queue to last for years and then drop to alpha clone will the queue clear as soon as i become alpha while im offline, or when i next log in?

wot you gonna do when the new scanning system comes in

>clearly a pvp fit
>core scan probes
u wot m8

I'm cloak camping provi so hard they've all stopped ratting and sometimes even logging on. They simply won't undocumented to defend, rattle or anything. Now I'm taking their sov and they're getting even more discouraged

>What's wrong with you people
We are all anally ravaged that this game is dying while pretending that it's doing just fine. This causes a lot of frustration and passive aggressiveness in all of us.

You can still turn it off

>he doesn't know

Expanded launchers are a fucking meme. Nerf the cpu fitting cost.

>mfw t3ds have a fitting free ticket for probe launchers

Phoneposting best posting

I'm plugged into the buttplug web xDD

>Not squatting on your chair at the local internet cafe that you practically live in

they are permanently removing the old one on may 9th

a procurer can solo everything under a cruiser

your fit is garbage and will die to everything

>tgis game is dying
>doing way better than it was 2 years ago

>except it isnt
>its a fact look it up urself

>player count is up from 2 years ago
>more content, quality of life changes and tons of shit
Yea m8 I looked it up

No.

It's doing well financially because of microtransactions in SKINs and skill injectors, but the overall player number is dwindling, rapidly.

There are less concurrent players now than right before alpha clones were released. Not even "free to play" was able to revitalize the game.
