Pings Edition

>Can I make enough ISK for PLEXing?
Actually, training 5M of a selection of 20M SP is F2P now, as is playing with the skills listed here:
community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/clone-states-the-next-steps/

Reminder to never trust anybody in this thread with fits, ever.

>I just started, what should I do?
Do the Opportunities then find the Career Agents & run all of their missions. They give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp.

>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No.

There are various situations in which the change to the slot layout is an improvement.

This is like the first time a ship gets a low moved to mid yeah? let's see how it goes, aviator glasses on.

I have no idea what I am doing in space

its a medium nerf to mach fleets, a huge buff to gangs and solo

Tell me what the fuck to do right now and I will make a character to do it and only that.

Scanning

>toon

meme super dropping

Say a tristan vs tristan (or droneboat vs droneboat?)

Is there some guide about drone vs drone?

Like should I aim for the guy's drone? How fast does a warrior kill a hob and stuff like that.
Should I stay as much still as possible as long as it's light drones?

I'm also thinking a web could help kill the other drones.

Have an ewar alt

you have to guess how fast you'd kill the enemy ship by trying this. if the other guy is good at recalling drones before they die, you might just be throwing the fight by trying to kill his drones

In a asteros battle, each dual rep so it takes at least 20s until hull. If your 5 warriors can kill each of his drone in 3s you'll win (even if he take them back, that means the fight will last 22s)

I just need to know how drones v drones usually goes.

Could also try to get distance from him so that drones takes a bit of time.

if it's retarded dual rep asteros neither of you will break each other ever and you have massive dronebays anyway. and yeah if you want to kill enemy drones, it's best if he's putting them on you when you're some distance off him so it takes time to recall

youtube.com/watch?v=q9lW0BLF4xY
yeah it breaks actually

looks like he's tanking it pretty easily mate

By tanking you mean dying? Not sure

he's sitting there in an astero receiving astero dps and over-repping comfortably

I want to start a solo corp as an alpha clone to avoid mission and bounty tax, does it matter where I put my HQ? Does it cost more in crowded stations than empty ones?

I'm talking about the other asteros obviously.
Seems like it manage to tank without nanite and killing of the guy that had to reload for nanites, or out of cap.

Is solo-play a thing? or is it all gonna be small-gang shit? is it even worth it trying to go soloroaming at all or nah?

is it worth the effort of setting up planetary management shit in a dead end low-sec system or is it just gonna be an unwanted ballache

do you want to talk about solo pvp or do you want to talk about unironic planetary interaction

both

PI = Passive ISK
Literally FREE money

Con or non-con? If the latter just go gank some explorers or find some other way to bait people.

For consensual try solo roaming FW areas, it doesn't take too long to find a fair-ish fight in the Cal/Gal systems around peak time. You'll learn quickly whether it's for you.

It's also pretty easy to whore on kills as a solo inty if you're into that kind of faggotry.

aren't most FW-fights be 2+?
Can you cloak in a FW plex? could always put my cov-ops skills to use outside fucking around WHs

Is there any point to trying and being a hauler? Do people really want shit hauled anymore or is it just scammers putting out contracts?

I'm bored and want to join a pvp corp but I don't have a lot of kills so I've been denied.
I can fly lots of stuff but I don't have any friends in this game so my attempts at pvp have been nothing but meme fights in tama where i get dog pilled on in a complex or die t a gatecamp.
How can I find a group for small gang stuff that will fly with me without leaving my corp?? (how do i make friends in eve)

probably the tristan

How viable is wardeccing corps so that I can pop their abandoned and unfueled highsec control towers and steal their arrays and gun turrets?

Do POS structures leave salvageable wrecks? If so, do they pay well to salvage?

I only played eve for a little bit long ago and the best ships I have are a Horus and a Badger, anything I should work towards other then opportunities?

Also my Horus used to have 3 mining lasers on it and apparently can only fit one now?

Oh its an Ospray I'm stupid.

Holy shit you're ancient.
Osprey was switched to a logistics cruiser a long time ago.

It was quite a while ago. This Osprey seems pretty useless now.

Yes. Join All-Out.

>17k players online

What the fuck happened? Where are all the people?

It's an off peak time during a week day, where do you think they are?

I quit, there's just nothing new to do

Jesus you weren't kidding, after a little bit of grinding i'll be able to get above a tier one, and it isn't even close already.

I'm docked in station waiting out an elite PvP hisec wardec

Servers go down for 15 in 7 mins?

As they do every day.

It's the only viable T1 shield links ship. Literally no other ship can do what it does. Comparing it to BCs meant for pure combat just isnt fair.

How do I join Skill Urself? Are there any corps inside that allows me to kep characters outside of corp? I don't want to entirely quit All-Out but they keep making me feel unwelcome. Why can't they just stop calling me a gook?

>the biggest turbo-autists Eve has ever seen make people feel unwelcome
I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

a hurricane or ferox with 5 guns is better than a cyclone. ccp only giving it 5 launchers is not any kind of advantage

Not if you want to fit XLASB. You can get monster burst tank with Cyclone. It also has no problems with fitting 2 T2 links along with that.

Why gooks specifically?

killing fraternity is like farming a big plebby reddit noob alliance except they aren't reddit scum so I feel bad

I got really drawn into this game by reading up on past wars and watching videos detailing the biggest wars.

Are there still huge scale wars and shit?
I run league at 70 fps on my 2015 Lenovo flex, will I be able to run EVE at decent FPS?

probably. most people set their graphics down to shit mode in giant blob battles so don't be surprised if you have to as well

:(

>Are there still huge scale wars and shit?
Yes.
Big battles are napfests unless you're one of the people in charge.

>I run league at 70 fps on my 2015 Lenovo flex, will I be able to run EVE at decent FPS?
Most people play in potato mode, so yes you should be fine in that regard.

occasional pve is pretty comfy though, just wish eve pve would be better

is tactical shield manipulation 5 worth it?
how about cloaking 5?

no

You're unlikely to get serious responses to this, but I do industry. I'm building various things at the same time, the batches I run take four weeks to finish, and I run two batches staggered two weeks apart. My profit from the last batch was around 10 billion.

>tactical shield manipulation 5
useless, even harmful
>cloaking 5
Not worth it unless you are turbo autistic cloaky hunter.
