>What's EVE Online?
A space-based sci-fi MMORPG known for its steep learning curve, massive scale, and unique depth.

>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.

Is the Tengu good for anything after the changes? I love their look but my corp tells me only Loki is good anymore.

Players usually have the shittiest opinions, do your own research.

Legion confirmed for best waifu.

glad to hear it.

minor thought, would be nice if it auto-scanned wormholes you exited. Still important to bookmark in case of connection loss, but it seems like an okay freebie scandown.

Feels good.

You can't hit shit with a rail moros

unless that battleship is pointing right at or away from you, you'll never hit it even with the slightest angle.

>moros

>he doesn't camp hagilur in his rail moros

Long since unsubbed. Sad state of the game..

Time to look for another corp.

Is no sp fag still alive? He's still wrong.

What clan should I join? I'm just a 9m sp toon with unfocused leveling of stuff

think about what you want to do then find a clan that does the thing you want to do

>Dror

Are there any Veeky Forums corps/alliances?
Carrier pilot here, 30 mil SP.

All of them are dead.

we should merge and form a good one.

on a general with at maximum 50 unique people here, most of whom are in either Horde or Goons?
Nah.

Nighthawk

>Veeky Forums corps

>CCP fucks with NPC aggro and you spend half your ticks on new fighters

How much of a problem is this if you actually pay attention

>Bought a Claymore
>Flew it once
>Sold it
I wish they didn't change the command ship models, Cyclone is my favourite hull. They should've kept the Myrm/Drake/Harb/Cane for a new t2 bc

It isnt a problem if you're paying attention. They'll take damage from the frigs and thats it.

but they never changed the claymore model

Yeah but they changed the Sleip model. I'd be flying a sleip but I don't actually like the hurricane model that much. That's why I picked up a Claymore in the first place.
>Flying a ship you don't like the look of

>liking the cyclone model
biomass

I also like the Osprey model
And the old Moa

Ever wanted to know how to make Isk without doing any work? You're in luck, I'm quitting this game and sharing my secrets.

If you don't have the startup Isk to do this refer to my earlier post: boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/182750986/#183195978

old moa was nice. most people shitting on it never got too familiar with it

>chikage dies in the last 2% of daily boss hp
epic

Yeah it really grew on me. I fell for the ugly moa meme but when they introduced HICs I started flying an Onyx and learnt to appreciate asymmetry.

bellicose buff and remodel when

>it's like a caracal but worse in every way possible, but it has enough slots to fit 1 bonused painter, but it will die instantly and you don't need painters anyway because we're playing rapid cancer/drones online

Is it big balls to drop damage control on sleip for expanded cargohold?

no it's big retard. don't ever fit an expanded cargohold to any combat ship

Give minmatar BC/BBs +250 default cargo

Do I HAVE to talk to people in order to learn? Can't I just play by myself with alts and use the internet to learn?

Depends on how much you want to learn and how fast

...

>no cargohold expander

Yea the stabber is ass and ccp will never fix it

Yea I guess you can but if you're gonna be nothing but solo for your entire play you're gonna have a hard time doing fun shit

Well it's an ewar ship. It's not really good to have the best of both being a light attack cruiser like a caracal and the ewar capability of an ewar ship.

Sure it needs buffing. I'd say give it more speed, a larger drone bay and switch the rate if fire bonus for a damage bonus so rapid lights have more impulse to last longer

Do you masturbate to this glorious idea?

An omen navy issue shits on the orthrus

>Fly Maulus
>Shit on everyone else

>not doing industry

it needs more fitting and it's down a slot compared to normal cruisers, I wouldn't mind a mid or a low

>rapid lights

rapid lights defeat the purpose of the ship. if they exist there is no point in ever flying it

>rapid lights defeat the purpose of the ship. if they exist there is no point in ever flying it
Well you aren't going to fly hams because 20km or less is retarded and you aren't going to use heavy missiles because they apply like ass even with a tp on it

When is the new forum officially going live? That place sucks.

both wrong

>carrier
>30mil SP
Is this a joke?

>lol why couldn't you find this high frequency divit that has 0.000005% signal to noise ratio?

>lose exploration ship to drone site because moron
>finish site with corvette
I mad

fitting expanders is the new meta for solo battleship stuff, if you weren't shit at the game then you'd know this

it's the 'new meta' for people who think ebin twitch streamers aren't shit at eve

>Two sets of equally distinct patterns

I don't get it

?

>forget having good damage and making yourself hard to tackle, just go full tank so you can get dogpiled by morons
>check out my lossmail bro, 100k raw damage tanked

sounds about right for a focused alt but not for a main

dude fuck some of these "transits"

that shit ain't real.

one graph shouldn't take you more than 15 sec, just click "no transits"

I really hope you don't do this.

T2 ships already have skins to make them look different from t1 ships, why make your Retribution look the same as your Punisher.
