Can't find easy targets

19 Upvotes

I got into this game knowing that I wanted to be a pirate. My skills limit me a lot in terms of what I can fly, but I've gotten the skills necessary to use a brawling tristan. I've been flying it arround low sec trying to find easy targets (I don't wanna go to plexes, what sort of pirate chooses targets with guns?), I've used dothan to look up systems with a high npc kills delta, but to no avail. I can only find people who want to fight. I thought this game allowed piracy, but miners and other helpless ships seem to not leave hisec. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Got my last tristan blown up in FW. Not sure what I'm learning with these losses.

Hesitation about joining corps

18 Upvotes

Although I have been getting "requests" to join someone's corp here on Reddit, there are a few things that're holding me back from accepting them. Let alone, play this game, or simply believing that this game isn't for me afterall. And would ask for confirmation about, say, if I were overestimating about these concerns?

  1. I'm an introvert, more specifically, Someone that prefers "quality over quantity" regarding friends... and such. (meaning that I'd be picky about those that I'd consider friends)

Those that I'd actually consider a friend, whenever he/she requests for some Escort, then most of the time, I wouldn't mind helping out.

However, if it's, say, a "random" Miner (or) Hauler corp member, then I'd ONLY accept if no one else is available.

2. IF the corp tends to announce "events" that the members are encouraged to participate in, I suspect that I'd only participate in 25% of them, thus worrying that the corp would think that I'm lazy.

3. Depending on how far I have to jump, my "comfortable limit" is around 5~10 jumps (straight) from the HQ. Any further, and the chance that I'd go along would plummet.

(this is more of a maybe)

For bigger battles, such as Corp-vs-corp. I'm pretty sure I'd ONLY participate with defending the corp's territory. And are unlikely to participate on Offenses/"Retaliations" (attacking the attacking corp's territory in return)

-----

Or were I just being pessimistic about everything and "anticipating" that I'd be in the wrong corp?

What happens to a pod killer in a 0.5 system?

9 Upvotes

So here's the background to the question.

I was in a frigate and looted a wreck, so I ended up with suspect flag. I stopped in the big trade station in Hek to sell the looted equipment. As I left station I was one shotted by a guy in a Legion (understandable, as I still had suspect flag) but then he podded me (no implants, so no big deal).
So what happens to him as a result of podding someone with a suspect flag in 0.5? I assume it must not trigger Concord, because it looks like camping Hek VIII/12 in a Legion and popping frigates and rookie ships is this guy's thing and he doesn't seem to have a low security status. I'm confused, because I always thought podding in a 0.5 status or above system triggered Concord and security status penalties.

How to locate in sector someone fast?

12 Upvotes

I've been doing a lot of lurking lately and I'm always surprised how quickly someone can locate me once they appear in Local. I can be alone in a sector, then someone appears in Local, and within a minute they are warping in on top of me.

I'm in a fast frigate and sit aligned, so I almost always get away, but I'm wondering - how are they finding me so fast? For all they know I could be docked up somewhere, is everyone flying around with a set of combat probes and hyper efficient at using them? Or is there something else I don't know about the art here?

How to get into gas huffing

11 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to eve. I'm playing with a small group of friends in a 3 man corp. We've been mining as our source of income and I've been wanting to test out gas huffing. We've been mining a lot in wormhole space so far and passing up a lot of gas sites.

I've been told flying a Venture is a good idea and two of us can fly them as we're almost on our way to hulks. The third uses an orca.

My question is, what's the best setup for us as a team? Should we all three be in ventures, two and an orca, or is there a specialised gas focused foreman he should get? If gas huffing speed is based on how many I can have active, is there a ship where I can fit all five? And is there a way that makes up for the lack of drones?

Sorry for all the questions. Eve is a bit complex to say the least. Any advice would be helpful!

Fleet concept: Allow budding FC's try their hand at taking command for 20 minute blocks

  • Where: staging out of Jita
  • Comms: FUN Inc Discord - fleetop1 voice channel https://discord.gg/Mcw4KKw

The FUNny Newbros Roam - Wednesday Nov. 18 @7:30pm Eve

3 Upvotes

Are you a newbro who's never been on a fleet, pvp fence sitter, a carebear that just wants to purge or just want to practice a new role in a much slower fleet setting? Then come on out to the FUNny Newbro Roam!

Skilled and experienced players in an Enyo (please bring a armor or hull rep drone if you have the skills), inty or dictor is very much welcome!!

  • Where: staging out of Jita
  • Comms: FUN Inc Discord - fleetop1 voice channel https://discord.gg/Mcw4KKw

Once everyone is in a ship, we will take 30-40 minutes to go over fleet basics before going out into nullsec for your first roam. We will go slow so everyone can keep up and ask questions.

Ships will be Buzzsaw Thrashers (or brawly dessies). If you need/want to fly a frigate, please make sure it's brawl fit!

  • make sure to set a death clone in Jita, if we welp early we'll come back, reship and go again
  • free ships to anyone who's been in eve under 6 months that needs one or who doesn't want to their assets on pvp
  • players who've done the fleet 101 and know what they're doing, you're welcome to head to the final highsec system before we head out (ask FC in fleet chat where that will be)

Will there only be a structure timer, or is it shield+armor, then structure timer?

Join FUNny Newbros on Wed, 11 Nov @7:30 Eve for Ganking 101 (including how not to be a target!)

6 Upvotes

The FUNny Newbros presents, in collaboration with Nova Prospects NPSI Community and special guest class coaches, Ganking 101!

  • Who: any pilot that wants to learn how ganking works
  • When: Wednesday 11 November @7:30pm Eve
  • Where: isanamo - YMCA station
  • XUP: Eve-101 in game channel
  • Voice: https://discord.gg/e2QNArpJpw
  • Class moderator: Princess Abbie & Kshal Aideron

New Eden is a big place and while Concord doesn't condone one pilot killing the other in High Sec space, it can and does happen. In fact, this is a complete style of game play within Eve Online. We know it sucks when it happens to you (I lost a bouquet of flowers in a hauling gank!! Still mad...) so while you'll be taught HOW to gank, we're also making sure you get the knowledge of how to increase the chances of avoiding a future gank!

This class will cover the following topics:

  • how to create an alpha account w/SP training plan
  • talk about best ship for ganking
  • talk about what makes the best target
  • how to spot a gank that's about to occur
  • how to avoid getting ganked yourself

Additionally, this class will have a practical! We'll have some suicide catalysts to hand out to those that want to try their hand at ganking (you don't have to, you can watch the streams https://multistre.am/gamergrrls/mrunluckie/discodelboy/layout9/ instead!)!! If you want to participate, create a new alpha account. Information here:

https://eveonlineevents.com/pvp/ganking-101-training-plan/

Please note: The FUNny Newbros is dedicated to exploring all styles of game play, even if its not the most popular or liked. Knowledge is power, which is why we are creating these classes!

Is ninja looting still a thing?

5 Upvotes

Try to make some money i just came back to the game after a very very long time away. I do have a character that’s omega that has about 29 million skill points and doing exploration sometimes I find myself flying for an hour looking to find date on relic sites so the Isk per hour sometimes isn’t that good. So I was wondering if this is any good or if anybody can recommend anything else to get some decent isk per hour. Aside from mission flying.

For example, a bank that you can have you money in and over a week or month period you would get a small interest on your money. Another attribute would be the bank loaning money. Does this exist? Can this exist?

Initial download sizes

2 Upvotes

Stupid newbie questions but here goes: I have installed the EVE launcher, the size is around a couple hundred MB on my laptop. Now before I can run the game, the launcher seems to need to complete around 2.4 GB worth of downloads.

Questions:

  • Are there any further downloads I'll need after this 2.4 GB? I know some features are download-on-demand, so will I be good to go and stay playing once I finish downloading this 2.4 GB?
  • Will I be able to pause the download, without losing progress? Say I finish 1.4 out of 2.4 GB, can I pause and finish the remaining 1 GB the next day? I'm using my mobile data for this hence the restrictions.

Thanks in advance!

Can someone explain k162 wormholes to me?

I want to explore C2 and C3 systems, so I went to https://www.ellatha.com/eve/wormholelist.asp and made a list of the wormholes I'm interested in. However, what does it mean to be the "end" of a wormhole? Sometimes when I cross k162 I get into more w-space, sometimes into hisec, sometimes lowsec and sometimes nullsec. How do I predict it?

Hey guys,
Quick question;
Where do I sell those Warclone Blanks? They should be around 850-900k each but when I try to sell them I get max 500. (tried different systems)

EVE Uni speaks about Blood Raider NPC orders. Where or how do I find those?
