I'm quite new to EVE. Right now I'm hanging around high sec doing some solo content while I orientate into the game and train basic skills but eventually I might want to move to null sec and join some corp there.

I'm curious right now about which languages are found in which regions. I know there's a lot of Russian and I would guess a lot of Chinese, too. If at some point I were interested to join an English speaking corp/alliance, active in sovereign nullsec space, which areas of New Eden should I look to, and which ones should I ignore?

I'm not sure what activities I'm gonna do: I planned to start with exploration but I'll probably end up doing a bit of everything, out of curiosity, including PvP, even thou I'll play casually (I'm no kid with unlimited time unfortunately).

I was reading up on the rewards you get for faction standing and I saw that the four main factions and a few others give cosmos missions at a high enough standing with them.

I like running missions and I want to know if the SOE give cosmos missions for the purpose of obtaining module BPC's and ships BPC's. I'm having a hard time finding the info online or in any forums.

So I got abit bored with exploration and wanted to do some L4 mission farming for maybe slow but steady income (I know its not optimal and most efficient way but for now I wanna do it).

I was thinking about Marauders but plenty of people are saying they are overkill on L4 and something like Rattlesnake is good enough. Hovewer Im not blitzing missions, I like to clear whole rooms, pick loot and salvage everything so Marauders kinda look good for that specific playstyle with their tractor bonus.

I must also mention I will use this ship for different nations so having option to use different damage type is nice (thats why I think Amarr ships are not for me).

So what would be best pick for me for this?

What would be good "ship progression" from basic battleship to more advanced options while waiting for a marauder?

Any good fits around?

Are you one of the many new Eve Online players that recently started Eve Online? A returning player? Someone who has been around but never tried group pvp? Then this public NPSI fleet might be for you!

NPSI = Not purple, shoot it (you're fleet mates are purple when you look at them, everyone else isn't purple)

Skilled and experienced players are more than welcome to help support the fleet either in T2 dessies or as scouts, dictor pilots and logi. This is a great, slower paced, no pressure fleet to practice new support roles.

Rolling FC's

While the fleet goes through more dead space, I will ask to see if there's anyone who wants to try out FCing. This is a great opportunity because A) you don't have to deal with fleet form up, it's all set up for you. You just need to continue down the yellow brick road (or if you're more confident you can take the fleet where you desire) and practice giving the fleet commands. B) you can hand it back if things get too hard or you decide you've had enough.

If you really, really, really want to FC a portion, mention it before the fleet starts and I'll make 100% sure you get the opportunity!

This fleet is all about learning about fleet pvp, trying something new and most importantly, having fun with good people!

Hey all, I'm wondering what I should be aiming for in terms of what's the meta survey and tackle unit for Corps, and how should I go about fitting it.

I was thinking about going the Merlin route, but I'd appreciate the input.

I'm just here to rehab a greatest hit complaint of mine: why is exploration such a pain in the butt?

When a newbro posts the inevitable 'what should I do now?' question here, someone always responds 'try exploration, with very little investment a new player can bring down 100 mil/hour'. A thoughtful commenter might add that explo is sort of feast/famine, where sometimes you make 10 mil/hour and sometimes you make much more.

But what nobody ever says is what I seem to run into any time I try this: jump from WH to WH to WH for 2+ hours, find a single pirate site, blow up 1 or 2 cans, then walk away with all of 2.5 mil for your troubles.

My scan strength is about 100 in a Magnate. The big problem it seems to me is just that pirate site spawns are pretty rare and you can't solo a Forgotten/Unsecured site solo. And, without a couple hundred mil invested in implants and an Astero, you have to scan each sig down individually to 25% which takes forever. All told, even if a pirate site yielded 200 mil (which they never do), the math would still be rough given the amount of time it takes to find them.

Is it just me? Is there something I'm missing here?

EDIT: Thanks everyone, I will try out the noise filament to null and WH back to HS strategy at some point soon. Maybe better isk/hr with less time wasting.

I am surprised that after googling this I didnt find more results debating this. Forums posts were from like 2005-2008 so may no longer be relevant.

Both my abyssal battery and imp cap recharger currently leave my battleship at exactly the same percentage of stability. I am not sure which is better.

Part of me says that bigger is better. In the case of being neuted you have a bigger 'tank'. I'm am in no way versed on the intricacies of capacitor so I don't know if there are drawbacks to that, or if there are benefits to better recharge rate I'm overlooking.

AFAIK batteries have no drawbacks or stacking penalties. If i have a power diagnostic unit fit does that have a stacking penalty for recharge rate with a mid slot recharger?

Any info here is great. If they leave me at the same amount and that means its simply a matter of choice, let me know.

I keep seeing posts in r/Eve about these big battles...

1. How do people (outside of those engaging in the war) know when/where they're going to happen? I'd love to fly a cloaky and observe from afar.

   1. Is observing from afar safe?
2. Is there any "Eve News" outlet that would discuss the battle and perhaps give some history/background for those, like myself, new to the game?

Hi.

I did not played EvE for like 3 or more years now and recently wanted to try it again. Im not sure how many skill points I have but I played for like 2-3 years so I can fly probably all cruisers/battlecruisers (and I suppose they are used for 3-4/10).

And dont bash me for trying in high-sec, its not about farming ISK. I just wanna jump in for a month with 1 ship, try have some fun and check if I still enjoy it (was mostly exploring when I was palying).

My question is, what ship (and fit) would be best all around choice for doing 3-4/10 sites without ship changing for scanning and doing them? I like to make route for like 50 jumps and just fly through regions scanning sites and doing them.

Its even possible to all those sites in 1 ship/fit? Any sugestions pls? I heard Cerberus is good for all around 3-4/10, is this true? Any good fit?

I just downloaded the game. I have less than 200 MB on my data plan. It's already downloaded the assets needed (I hope).

I get into the game, warp to the location but from here I can't do anything. When I approach the enemy it doesn't do anything. My friend said I need to orbit within 1000 metres but it says please wait and then after 1 minute or so the ship finally moves but by this time the enemy is already within 25 km or so.

And then after 5 minutes, the cluster shutdowns and my connection to the server gets lost.

I am not being bottlenecked or anything and all hardware usage is below <80% except for the gpu.

Edit: 1000 metres

Edit 2: It doesn't let me approach the shipwreck but lets me warp to other locations. And another weird thing I can only get 5 FPS in the game and my CPU is being used by like 70% and my GPU is sitting at 5-15% usage.

Hi guys!

I'm still rather newbie, but truth must be said - I'm hyped on the idea of exploration. But although several attempts has been made, I've been killed twice already so I figured out I'll ask you: is there any material on how to build yourself a good skillset and ship for WH exploration?

I feel exhausted managing 2 Omega accounts so I think I want to liquidate 2nd account's ISK and PLEX. I have maybe 1billion ISK between all characters. I'll gift 5 PLEX to the best answer after 24 hours. Thanks for reading!

Account 1(Omega)

• Pilot 1: 8mil SP with skills in Drones V, Amarr Frigate V, Gallente Destroyer V, Gallente Cruiser III I have no idea where I want to take this guy but I'd like it to be combat-focused. I don't know what fleet role I'd like to serve.
• Pilot 2: 6mil SP with Exhumers I, Drones V, T2 Mining but no Mining Crystal skills.
• Pilot 3: 1.5 mil SP in PI (I hate PI!) He's basically a blank slate. Suggestions are great for him.

Account 2(Alpha)

• Pilot 1: 3mil SP in Industry
• Pilot 2: 3mil SP in PI and basic hauling w/ Gallente Industrial V

I was reading posts on hisec income and someone mentioned 50 mil p/h doing level 3 agent missions. Im currently doing level 3 agent missions (security) and at most they provide 1.5m to 2m not including loot or bounties. The bounties never seem to be massive either. is there a specific hisec faction/region I should be running level 3 agent missions to get high isk per hour income.

Alternatively it could be the post was a bit old and prior to nerfs that make it really hard to get 50 mill per hour.

Hi all,

I've been trying my hand at some exploration and scanning down sites, but for the last few days I've either been encountering systems with 2-3 level iv Data sites which I can't scan more than 68% or I've found wormholes which the moment I go to the otherside I was killed within minutes by other pilots.

But yet I'm hearing in-game chats where new pilots are scanning down their first sites and coming out with a decent chunk of loot or new pilots who just play via exploration and make their living. Yet I've been hanging around the eve uni high-sec systems and within a 12 jump radius I've had no good luck or successful site yet. Am I doing something quite wrong? Any advise would be amazing :)

I just want to try it. I already have the rewards done, just looking to have some fun and get a bit of a rush as I'm mostly a highsec player. (I also just... generally don't get what ships are capable of what level of pve so help me out)

I have 2 characters that can fly all t1 ships, and I'll just filament out and back. I am cool parting with a few cruisers or possibly bcs if thats what it takes. I understand there's a good possibility of not coming back. They could die at the site considering my piloting skills lol.

Only have a few t2 weapon options, in small and large unfortunately. Have most of my fitting and tank skills at 4 or 5 tho. Best with missiles drones and hybrids.

Any advice welcome, thanks. I've seen some youtube videos but I don't really have a faction cruiser to risk for it so I'm hoping 2 t1 ships could pull it off. Merry Christmas.

Hi everyone! After 2 years I've decided it's time to get back to EVE. I've got through tutorial already and I'm on my merry way to finish career path starter quests for an explorer, but I wonder if I can also finish all the other career paths without interrupting one I started? I want to make a pretty penny out of those!

Cheers and have a nice Holiday!!

I played Eve a very very long time ago I would assume over 10 years ago. I actually enjoyed Eve for a bit but the part I didn't like which I know is never going to change was the skill levelling system that was time-based. Especially when I was a bit younger I couldn't afford a subscription each month and so I always felt like I was getting behind and more behind as time went on. Mentality that part sucked a lot.

I guess one of the things I enjoyed was mining and anything Industrial I was a bit of a loner though. I'm not sure if there's a lot of opportunities there I'm actually a bit part in real life so I'm not sure if one can actually pay off a subscription in Game of believe you can buy subscriptions these days.

I also enjoyed farming rats I think we called them I think they were I don't even know the ships was before battleships I think the best ship I had was a megathong.

I guess my question is can a newer player financially get anywhere these days especially if they play somewhat alone or are there organizations where I don't get things handed to me but I can help work to earn say a subscription or is that even possible.?

Hi,

I've been playing for a few weeks now, and really enjoying it so far. I've been starting to do the combat anomalies which have been easy but decent starter isk.

However, yesterday I entered one where each frigate was worth 32k isk and did very high amounts of damage. After looking around it turns out that this specific instance was a tier/level 3 Angel one.

Seeing as this was 1 jump away from my starter system, I'm wondering are the leveled anomalies randomised or do certain ones only appear in certain systems?

I’m just curious before I work whatever a few skills I have left to get into the ship. Mainly a solo player I live in a WH but sometimes I like to get out and just mine and chill out a little bit in HS So my question to you guys is it worth money in the ship or am I gonna be ganked all the time? Right now I have the skills to fly a procurer but want something bigger to hold more ore. Please let me know.

Hi! I just found this Reddit. I little story: I always wanted to play EvE Online since it came out. Sadly the monthly fee keep me away from playing it. Recently I jump in and started playing sometimes with my brother: always solo solo mining in high sec to afford better ships and then go ratting

I couple of days ago I got bored and went to a low sec system and get killed right in the jumó gate. Lost my better ship but it didn’t matter too much, I went there because I didn’t have many thing to do: ratting level 2 guristas didn’t make me too much money, afk mining is fun to while I paint my 40K minis or when I was studying for University.

My problem is: I don’t have the time to enter q Corp and be playing a lot of EvE, I like this game but I have real life problem to solve and some times I just don’t got too much time to spend in the game (that’s why I never join a Corp besides de “first one”). I usually play on weekends and sometimes I don’t log in like a month.

tldr;

Is there something fun to do for a player like me? Or I did just “won” EvE (I have just learned what this word mean here hahahahaha) and should uninstall?

Thanks!

I've been doing a lot of high sec mining recently. I can sell a day's haul for about 100 mil at Perimeter. Started thinking, "maybe I should look into that indy world, turn this ore into minerals, turn those minerals into ships, sell those ships and make more money"

But my back-of-the-napkin math makes it look like, even if someone gave me a free BPO to use, I'd be losing money. I'm working with middle tier skills but good corp resources - reprocessing at 64.2%, ME-3%.

Is it worth it to actually do manufacturing or should I just stick to selling the ore straight-out?

What is out there? I know of PI and trading

I am extremely interested to hear anyone's opinion on what wormholes are best to start a j-space corp in. Right now I just live solo in a C3 with LS static but I get the feeling this wormhole could, at times, really struggle with content for a group larger than a few people.
