Got into the game not long ago.... in with IAC, roommate is too.

Jack Forge is the in game name

7/3/2006 8:31:21 AM

I'm playing this as well.

Demitreus (zomg im original) is in game name though I'm enlisted with GoonFleet.

7/3/2006 10:15:34 AM

I loaded into the game for the first time and was completely overwhelmed by how much I didint know what to do

7/3/2006 6:01:26 PM

in this game the tutorial is key. then find a good agent with 15+ quality, run missions, get connections, join a corp, profit

what's your in game name? I have some friends and I can kinda help you get started...

do the learning skills first until you figure out what you want to do job/ship wise...

7/3/2006 6:29:20 PM

if anyone wants some help you can contact me in game if you wish.

7/8/2006 10:50:19 PM

IAC for the tourny win!

7/14/2006 9:18:34 PM

well they are launching a new cluster that would be perfect for me to start over, but guess what, its in china, and all chinese. damnit.

7/16/2006 2:04:48 AM

im Bolck, in game.


In a corp (DPG) out in 0.0 space.

they dont fuck around out there. heh, you get used to going through ships fairly quickly

7/16/2006 2:40:32 AM

lol yeah i gathered that watching my roommates bs get popped twice in 4 days

7/16/2006 4:18:51 AM

the most fun I had in eve was back during the SE vs Xetic war (I was SE, we stomp xetics ass). I would take my good ol' bomber raven with 8 large smartbombs and fully stabbed out and sit it in the HED-GP corridor somewhere (usually hed itself, sometimes I would go up to where IAC currently resides) and pop Xetic ships as they tried to make a run for it. I got so many Tech2 BPC's and faction gear it was retarded. I remember the very first ship I popped was an inty carrying a corp's entire BPC stock and about 10 Domination faction items, about 400 BPC's in all, and about 700mil isk worth of modules. Then I think they nerfed gate bombing after I left the game, dunno why, lolz.

7/16/2006 11:58:36 AM

I took a two month hiatus from WoW to play this, and I have to admit it was fun. The most appealing thing was the depth, however it got boring after a while. I tried trading, and while I made a lot of money(to me) I got tired of constantly going between systems. Seems a lot like tradewars.

7/16/2006 2:02:18 PM

So I just tried this for the first time tonight, and they were all talking about fat girls and sex in the Corp channel. Is this what the final frontier is about?

7/18/2006 12:09:54 AM

dont worry, the noob corps are by no means = to player corps. its like barrens chat in wow...err..i mean LFG chan now in wow.

Treb, stay out of general chats... if you need some help i can hook you up with a Team Speak server so as to facilitate your addiction to EVE

7/25/2006 10:35:40 PM

pvp is awesome.... pwning multi-million isk ships with a 87 thousand frigate freakin rocks

8/7/2006 12:57:00 PM

ok..im new...just got it..what do i do

8/7/2006 4:44:52 PM

go do a few missions, go buy a better frig than what you have, do alot more missions, buy a better ship, do missions.

or go mine.

or go kill rats in belts.

or trade.

or do more missions.

or join a player corp and follow their lead.

Seems with ECM being chance based now the way it is a frig gank squad is the most bang for the buck, IE everyone fit 1 multiracial jammer and you can pretty much take out any ship in the game with a few frigs. I mean dont get me wrong the chance based thing is ok, especially in a scorp and your able to jam 6 targets at the same time with one ECM each, but thats overpowered and unbalanced.

8/7/2006 5:30:21 PM

so are all fights essential point and click and then wait to either win or lose

8/7/2006 9:23:44 PM

not really, it depends how you decide to stagger your weapons fire, what ammo you are using, range, speed of your ship relative to his/her's (velocity), what sort of weapons you are using, and ecm or eccm, drones, and what modules you have installed and how/when you use them

ill be in game later tonight....

8/8/2006 8:49:12 AM

so any good corps recruiting

8/10/2006 12:31:33 AM

shit you can probably join mine/ours if you want... ill have to talk to some of the other guys but im sure it wont be a problem, you might have to talk with them too and such but other than you actually getting to an outpost where we have an office you're pretty much in...

as you found yesterday i'm pretty much available... well most of the time...

8/10/2006 11:23:15 AM

I find it funny that they do their major updates usually on Tuesdays to coincide with WoW's downtime as well.

8/22/2006 11:29:42 AM

i get my battlecruiser tonight! still on level I missions..how long before I get level II

8/22/2006 11:34:20 AM

level II's can be handled with good cruiser skills or a BC pretty easy, if i recall.... damn i need to get you 2 on teamspeak, do you both have mics? things go alot faster communication wise that way....

level II combat missions usually have a cruiser and some destroyers and frigates, so you will need either some small guns, missiles, or drones (to take out frigates), cruisers you should be able to take out with regular medium guns. The rest of the level II missions are pretty much the same but use more cargo space and such....

getting to level II missions requires having high enough standing with a level II agent. after a long enough time (loong time) with a level I they might refer you to a level II. the trick is doing these missions for good quality level agents in a region that will give you loyalty point or standing bonuses.

you can trade loyalty points for very nice things later on. (save them)

I think i sent you the EVE explorer link for finding agents and what system/station they are in....

if not googling it should bring it up.

I'll be on later tonight.

I'd probably like to invite both of you to join my corp at some point, (we are involved in a war atm so joining (with out an alt) would probably not be in your best interests at the moment.... shit, my alt isnt even in the corp yet due to that....

8/22/2006 1:00:19 PM

a BC for level II's is way overkill, you can do them in a destroyer with decent skills or with a cruiser with crap skillsk. For instance a caracal with just enough skills to fly it can do all lvl 2's easy. Also, it shouldnt take you very long to get to lvl 2's if your doing a good number of lvl 1's. The trick to lvl 1s is to find a station that has 2 high quality lvl 1 agents and run missions at the same time. Or just train up connections to IV and you will have lvl 2's and prolly lvl 3's.

I was running lvl 2's within a few days with a caracal with like 500k skillpoints. 5 assault launchers, 2 large shield extenders, a medium shield booster, afterburner, some dmg mods and I could do all lvl 2's in my sleep.

Level 1: Frigate/Destroyer
Level 2: Destroyer/Cruiser
Level 3: Battlecruiser/Battleship
Level 4: Battleship

For mission references:

http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=347028

Oh yeah one last thing, you may be able to get lvl 2's if you have been doing I's for this long. Just open up your People and Places window, type in the NPC corp your doing missions for (Such as Caldari Navy), right click on them for Show Info, and go to the agents tab. Search through it and you will prolly find some lvl 2's you can use.

Jesus

We have found a bug will be fixed in 30 min

30 min later


Oh shit, um give us an hour


an hour later

Uh how about 90 minutes.

8/22/2006 4:39:27 PM

Welcome to patch day. Dont worry, this only happens with real big patches. Same way with WoW, they try to fix something major and fuck up 10 more things. Hell I think the wow servers are down too right now....

8/22/2006 4:52:31 PM

Do our skill counters still go when the server is down?

8/22/2006 4:56:47 PM

yup, thats why you ALWAYS set a LONG LONG LONG 100000day skill the night before patch day.

8/22/2006 4:57:26 PM

I just want my battlecruiser dammit

8/22/2006 5:03:12 PM

where is this?

8/22/2006 5:07:25 PM

Inside one of the 10/10 complexes in 0.0 space.

A BC is cool and all to mess around with, but when you move to lvl 2's you will want a cruiser. a BC just doenst have much of a tank, and you will get bored with lvl 1's with it quickly.

[Edited on August 22, 2006 at 5:40 PM. Reason : asdf]

8/22/2006 5:38:00 PM

whats a 10/10 complex

8/22/2006 5:39:45 PM

complex's are sorta like instanced dungeons in wow, cept anyone can go in at any time with the appropriate ship. To find them open your map and click the option that says "DED Deadspace Report". Hover over the dots to find a suitable complex. Right now you could go do a Training 1/10 or maybe a 2/10. However, low lvl complexes are a waste of time, mid range ones are camped 23/7, and high lvl are owned by alliances. They are farmable however, as the ships just keep respawning, and there is a very very very very low chance at faction gear in 3/10 and above.

8/22/2006 5:43:32 PM

any cool environment effect areas with the space storms that arn't in 0 space

8/22/2006 6:59:20 PM

Not that I have seen. They are supposed to introduce things like Comets (that you can mine, that travel through systems), gas clouds and the ability to land and do stuff on planets.

8/22/2006 7:03:20 PM

whats new for this patch...I can't read the notes

8/22/2006 9:42:07 PM

not much tbh. just minor bug fixes and some optimizations. nothing that should take this long to fix.

8/22/2006 10:13:16 PM

True Sansha l00t!! yeah there is a level 7 complex in our space, but like Tai said it's pretty much camped out and run constantly.... though we don't 'own' it and theoretically anyone can come in and do it. but it isnt worth it without a few BS's and the overseer spawning back (24 hour timer usually) you can sell the overseers affects for crazy money.... (100 mill each or more)

8/23/2006 8:30:54 AM

yeah this one is pretty tame, the next 2 (last one in march or so I think) will have the rest of the Kali content. hopefully the new BC's and BS's will come out in the next patch


am I the only one really disappointed in the tech II ships? they are tech I models with different skins....

LAME

8/23/2006 8:32:54 AM

The tech 2 frigs are bad ass looking. But yes the tech 2 cruisers blow. as far as looks go.

8/23/2006 8:48:20 AM

sigh, some of these skills take forever.... good thing about my corp is lots of skill books available...

i need to haul my drone skill books down pretty soon....

8/23/2006 9:31:56 AM

The Titan skill I think takes like 260+days to train.

8/23/2006 3:21:10 PM

FUCKING CHRIST.... that's the better part of a year....

talk about a loong ass skill

8/23/2006 3:33:51 PM

8/23/2006 8:50:21 PM

your missing all the rank V learning skills btw, cant really train the advanced with just lvl IV, so add another 20-30 days for those.

8/23/2006 9:12:13 PM

thats the quickest way to get to Titan..why would you need other learning sills

8/23/2006 9:27:15 PM

so when your trained up for it your not sitting in dock for another 6 months learning the skills needed to equip anything on it.

I guess fly effectively wasnt what you were going for.
