/eog/ - EVE Online General

>What's EVE Online?
A space-based sci-fi MMORPG known for its steep learning curve, massive scale, and unique depth. It's also known as "Space Spreadsheet Simulator", "A Tale of Menus and Lost Dreams", "Warp Logistics and Trust Issues", and "NEET Space Gods".

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

>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 you can easily create two accounts and refer yourself, you'll need an alt anyway:
secure.eveonline.com/recruit/

If you buy a subscription on the referred account, then the account used to create the referral link will receive in-game money. Therefore some people will ask you to click their referral links, with the promise of monetary returns. There is no guarantee that you will actually get your share, if you click other people's referral links.

>Now what?
Do the Tutorial then the Career Agent missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and consider finding a corp. Corporations are a great way to connect with people and learn the game properly. The game is only as boring as you are.

feels bad

just fall for the exploration meme and hope you get some good loot and escape that astero behind you

Gallente.

>collecting bounty every 20 minutes

pls explain

Anoms.

That's a pretty shitty rate though. If nothing else, my drone skills could probably add 30 DPS, or there's better application.

It's cap stable without the auto-locker.

Welp, shit happens. At least I hadn't ship my stuff out to staging yet.

Belt ratting pay is awful.

>mfw can't remember what the fuck I did in those 7 days of the trial

Should I just make a new character or something, because I literally can't do anything as an alpha clone and the mission payouts are worse than 5 seconds of doing a Project Discovery slide

Are you fucking retarded? Just buy a PLEX to turn into omega mode.

Making a new character accomplishes nothing other than giving a new name.

>Just buy a PLEX
>a PLEX
Haven't played in awhile, I see.

How do i get isk as an alpha famalan

Join All-Out and kill Germans and NPCs in a Gnosis.

>he doesn't know how to earn a plex ingame
>he doesn't have disposable income to just put a subscription on a credit card

>taxes

That's a lot of millions for me rn

>have 160 mil sp
>2006 character
>50 bil in isk and assets
>refuse to give random shitters my API
>pariah for 6 years
I'm never coming back, it's just full of retards now + it's dying for real.

FW.

delete shit setup please

Scrams stop medium rats from going like 3k

Thanks famalan, what's a good location to hunt rats?

if it's only for shooting rats then ok

>API
>meaning any thing

FW is not hunting rats and will make much more money until you get a VNI and do it AFK.. by that point, it's probably incursions.

>and do it AFK
Actual rat hunting BTW.. anoms

what is FW and where can i do it fampai, i'm a newfag

I would probably go to Gallente space, dock up, and click the FW tab.

There should exist another way to earn mission status.

Anybody wanna 1v1 on Sisi?

All ships now have an extra slot specifically for propulsion. How do you feel?

That seems criticized-worthy.

All ships now have 1 reduced slot and 2 extra slots just for prop.

>Anybody wanna 1v1 on Sisi?

RORQUALS SHOULD REQUIRE EXHUMERS V

What's up with the NPC miners?

They're just there to be killed by outside factions?

they're a ccp meme where you attack them and they hotdrop you, I think everyone just stopped paying attention a couple of days after they were added

>not using the missile destroyer

>missile destroyer

bil in isk and assets
Thats it?

>I'm not giving my API to anyone they're retarded
good luck getting into NO corp

I don't think anyone even bothered the day they were added

Good luck with the DPS.

What's the best destroyer i can purchase as an alpha faggot to like go ratting?

algos

Gnosis

Gnosis

the one with 8 turrets

Why not use a cruiser?

The cost difference is minimal. Then after a little bit you can get a gnosis.

>destroyers 1m
>cruiser 8-10m
>gnosis 45m

fucking rich fags not understanding our alpha plight. Can't you see we are fucking PLEBS.

So gnosis i htink i can get 47 million in one day for the ship , any recommended fittings?

Hack some data sites and sell the goodies, now you can buy your gnossis.

it depends on what race you are
seeing as the gnosis can do literally any thing

Is the ferox only good as a blob ship or can it work well solo/small gang?

Caldari

I pulled this out of the corp fittings if you cant use rails you can use RLMLs with not a horribly gimped DPS

Upgrade to the Caracal as soon as you can afford it.

Thank you for your advice will check the prices and well will go with the cheapest one

it's great for missions, sacrifices tracking for more damage and range,

Is ratting null sec only activity?

we mine all day, come join the party!

Its my understand I will get skills faster if I get an Omega account, originally I planned on capping the alpha skills i wanted then upgrading but that seems like a waste of time

I'm asking for pvp mate

So far i'm liking the game i'm still an alpha scrub, should i sub or wait till ih have shekels to buy ingame plex?

>unironically using gnosis
Don't fall for the meme. It's just one guy shilling them because he bought all from the market before alpha started but ccp introduced more hulls so his bulk was worthless.

nullsec has ratting, mining, 10/10s, better PI

If you're asking if ratting is a nullsec only activity then yes, the anoms in hisec arent worth ratting and you cant chain them to do them all day unlike in null where they'll keep respawning provided your null corp has sovereignty over the system and its Infrastructure Hub is upgraded enough.

That's actually true in some pockets though

>Horde is just spy and awoxer galore these days
I want to go, but I can't be bothered to move all my assets.

Wht corp should i join?

>(never remove this from the OP because it is always true)

What happened to you /dog/?

>/dog/

no one even posts dogs anymore

>no one even posts dogs anymore

>mfw I spend more time being a speshul snowflake buying cosmetics and trying to write a snowflake backstory than dorfing it up by mining

Some progressive faggot happened.

nice try ccp

What's it like living in NPC null? I heard there were groups in Stain, Venal, Curse and Great Wildlands that make life hell for sovnullers around them, and I want to give it a try.

>Great Wildlands

>no one even posts dogs anymore
Nice bait. Yeah, I didn't post here in past couple weeks

Oneiros.

Neutral.

>high sec pvp

What's wrong with Great Wildlands?

>not exploring in a 4 stab magnate

>went from 50mil to 2b since friday to right now just ratting anoms
>not a single faction spawn
that user several threads ago was right, they must have nerfed the fucking spawn rate

>Caldari alpha
>Hammerhead I

Caldari Alphas can't use medium drones, and their drone skills are so shit, you're probably better off with a third hybrid damage mod rather than the drone damage mod.

>40hrs to make 20$
wut
You could do so even before

>buying skins
