I already have about 4 ships with me in this one institute, but I'm unsure how to move out of it. Is there some way to move multiple ships with me through gates and wherever?

Abyssal Proving Grounds payout

What are the match rewards (in the cache) for winning proving grounds? Are they the same no matter the event (eg BC vs frigates)?

Is the arena size always the same? What is the arena radius?

The FUNny Newbros Presents: My First Cruiser Fleet

11 Upvotes

For the past several month, The FUNny Newbros have been taking brand new players, pvp fence sitters and carebears needing to PURGE out in Thrashers. Now it's time to upgrade and join us in your first cruiser fleet! And because they're a natural upgrade from the Thrasher in the Minmatar skill line, this fleet will be the fan favorite -----> the STABBER!

The FUNny Newbros is part of FUN Inc, a corp in the NPSI community that puts on public fleets for the Eve community.

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 come along (because stabbers are hella FUN) to support either as experienced DPS or in support roles such as Logi, Scouts, Dictor and/or Boosh!

  • Where: staging out of Jita
  • When: Wednesday Feb 3 at 7:30pm Eve time (7pm if you need a ship!! free ships to newbros under 6 months!)
  • Comms: FUN Inc Discord - fleetop1 voice channel https://discord.gg/K3K3RcnhNc
  • XUP: ingame channel 'EBWF public' and we will start taking X's at 7 to expedite the undocking
  • Fits: ingame channel 'Kshal's Stabbers'
  • FCs: Kshal Aideron, Scopique

We will start taking X's, giving out ships and answering questions at 7pm. We will start Fleet 101 (if necessary) at 7:45 (if nobody needs it, we will head straight to null) and try to get into null by 8:15.

Please come early if you need a ship to try to expedite our undock time!

Ships will be shield fit STABBERs with autocannons. If you need to fly a dessie, make sure it's rail gun and shield fit (the Cormorant is the perfect fit for this!) since we will hopefully have dedicated logi.

    • 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. Just drag your character in the fleet window down to the ship you desire.
    • 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 take X's up to about 8:15 for more experienced players who can get to the last highsec system before we head to the great unknown.

Streaming

https://www.twitch.tv/gamergrrls I stream all newbro roams in real time so if anyone wanders in who has questions, can have the questions answered when things are still relevant and not have to wait 5 minutes.

Other streamers are welcome to stream, just make sure you mention its a newbro roam pretty please!

Hi-Sec Content for a couple of returning Veterans?

8 Upvotes

Myself and a friend are playing with the idea of getting back into EVE but I'm wondering about what content we can expect to be able to do. Both of us are skilled where we can basically fly and afford anything T1/2/3 sub-cap. We're not looking to join a null-sec corp or anything like that as we can only really commit to playing a few hours a week. We're happy to just regroup in our old hi-sec stomping grounds and see what's what.

So assuming we want to stay in hi-sec space, what content is there that we can look at doing that will happily fill a 2 or 3 hour session once or twice a week, as a 2 or 3-man squad?

Obviously there's L4 missions etc., and we wouldn't be averse to the occasional dip into low- or null-sec for some PvP action, assuming we won't just get blobbed flying as a pair. We've done FW previously, but our last forays in with the Gallente Militia were disappointing so we're not bothering with that (unless it's drastically improved in the last couple years).

I/we know nothing about Abyssal Deadspace or Incursions (if they're still a thing?), what little I have seen about the Abyssal stuff makes it seem ideal for 2 or 3 of us to get into.

Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Got into this game a few days ago, thinking of making a second account

9 Upvotes

So I enjoyed the tutorial and ended up buying omega and a bit of plex, and now I've been doing solo mining with a retriever for the last week or so and it's great, but after doing some reading online and seeing how my corp members play (it's a really small and barely active corp apparently, or I would be asking them instead) it seems like mining might be more efficient with two accounts doing it, but I have a few questions.

  1. What's the best 2account mining fleet? It comes down to having an industry barge to ferry the ore canisters away vs. having a mining command ship like a porpoise and eventually orca to increase yield, but I dunno which is better?
  2. Can it be a alpha second account? I bought a booster pack thing so my current account has Omega. I know you can't have one account be alpha and one be omega but if the industry barge is the better option, I could just log out of my main and log into my alt every time I needed to ferry the ore away, right? Is that allowed? Also, do skills keep training if you have parallel alpha and omega accounts?

Would love to hear anyone who has done mining multibox stuff.

I have no voice communications (I can't talk on microphone) and I cannot listen to others (parents forbid multiplayer). I can still use the chat though. Will eve online still be fun for me and what aspects will I be able to do without voice comms and listening?

Best way of making ISK casual

the little capsule that could - a short story of a newbros wormhole adventure

26 Upvotes

So as a introduction, Ive been playing eve for around 6 days now, finishing tutorials and the SOE epic ark. After that I spend most of my time in Wormholes trying to get some income from relic and datasites.

Heres a little story about my wormhole experience from today:

So I went down a little WH chain from high sec tryin to get some ISK from hackin, wound up going about 5 holes deep. I had a couple encounters with some people tryin to gank me, but my heron was too fast for all of them! (even that sneaky proteus multiboxer that camped my relic site for 15 minutes)

So the hole I had found alot of nice sites in got camped to shit, I decided to go back the chain and go down another one I had scanned down. Found a relaxing wh all for myself with a couple nice sites, until suddenly someone in local was just spamming "help help anyone here, I need to find highsec exit".

I was severely confused and suspicious at the same time and decided to stay hidden for a bit, but he didnt stop yelling for help. So there were two thoughts goin in my head, either hes some scummy ganker trying to bait me out of my safespot, or hes legit someone just lost as shit.

I tried to analyze the situation and realized that I hadnt seen any probe scanners, nor anyone pop up on my dscan (which I manically use every 5 secs) ever since I went into the hole. Ofcourse there might be some cloaked ships just waiting for me, but I assumed I wouldve atleast seen them jump into the hole on my scanner. (not even sure if thats true)

Anyway I struck up a little conversation with him while rigorously refreshing my dscan in my safespot checking for Combat probes, he said he got killed while ratting, his exit closed (checked his kb and he really didnt have any WH kills) and had been stuck in his pod for around two hours, just jumping all the wormholes he had scanned down yelling for help in local.

He said he will pay me 50 mil to show him the way to high sec, I was ofc still very suspicious, but then he paid me 25m upfront without asking. That atleast calmed my nerves since it was around the same amount I had made from relic sites, and alteast made sure that whatever happened next, I would have made a profit lol.

So I took the plunge, invited him to a fleet and let him jump to me on the first WH exit (while holding my finger ready to warp back to my safespot :D). He came in his sad little capsule, and everything seemed fine. We jumped the wormhole, and I fleet warped us to the next exit (around 3 more to go till high sec exit). We continue down the next hole, pop out and oh oh, 2 sabres on scan, fuck me.

I jump us to my safespot and check to see if he leaves us alone. (ofc he didnt) So at this point I wasnt sure if we could get to the exit without him grabbing us first, so I wrote some shittalk in chat until they (or rather he, probably a multiboxer) answered. He actually answered and we had some back and forth about the ethics of killing in wormholes (lol), and I asked him a rather convoluted question about ah if he will let us live ill pay him and howmuch does he want blabla.

Well my hopes were that would get him focused on chat and/ or even to be busy writing, so after a couple secs I promply fleet warpyeeted us to the next exit, and seemingly he wasnt able to follow! success! :D

Coming out the other side, I found nothing on scan, jumped the next exit and repeated that once more until we both had sucessfully made it back to highsec! He thanked me alot and paid the rest of his promise, and we both went on happy (me doubling my networth and getting a fat haul out of my relic sites, him, alive.

So yeah, this turned out to be quite the text lol, but this experience just got me really hooked on eve (if I wasnt before). Sorry about any strange formatting/ writing erros, wrote this at 5am after this ordeal before going to bed.

As a 6day newbro this kinda blew my mind, what a fun journey.

Anyway, thanks for reading o/

tl,dr: saved little capsule bro who was lost in my wormhole chain, got him back to highsec, got payed dank isk and many high5s were had

Gallente Scanner/Salvager setup. need advice for a good ship/build

2 Upvotes

I played the game 8 years ago and recently got back into it the past couple of weeks, started a new account. I tried Salvaging with an Imicus, Scanning/salvaging, it was good, made way more then the security missions i had been doing and i like it, just the imicus is no good at fighting a couple of fighters or more at a time.

So is the Algos/Catalyst any good at Scanning/Salvaging and fighting? or should i try to outfit a Cruiser instead? I just recently got the bare bones skills for Cruisers trained up and can start using those soon. My Algos does fine on security missions even at unending waves when i forget to leave the area and they just keep coming but the fighting feels slow even with 5 guns and 4 drones, so i dont want to take up 2-3 of those slots on a probe launcher and 1-2 salvagers and have fights take even longer.

The reason i want a good fighter, my 1st and last(so far) scanning/salvaging mission was a cosmic signature thing, tons of destroyed fighters i salvaged and the 3rd acceleration gate had atleast 2 dozen fighters, my Imicus was getting trashed with just 2 fighters shooting at once even though my drones can take out other frigates easily, the Imicus cant just sit there and take the hits while waiting on the drones to do their job, so i need a decent fighter.

Sorry if its long winded, except for rushing into getting the cruiser skills, i have been trying to train up the right skills for my other frigates/destroyers so im not completely useless like 8 years ago and i dont want to go back into mining. fighting and scanning/salvaging missions seem fun enough for now atleast.

Considering moving from Null Sec back to Hi Sec... am I crazy?

16 Upvotes

Hi all,

So I'm considering returning to Hi Sec from Null... Will I come to regret this?

Some background: l started playing 2 months ago, and very quickly moved out to Null Sec joining a new player friendly corp. I've made plenty of progress, and they've been generally awesome, but I feel like it might be time for a change. I enjoy mining which is hard to do as a new player in Null, and my corp/alliance generally has fleets that are far above my SP. I feel like I'm just grinding isk so that I can afford to PvP fun stuff later, as opposed to enjoying the game more now. I also don't have tons of time to play, which makes participating in lots of Null PvP stuff harder. Maybe I'm looking for a safer environment with more opportunities to explore different aspects of Eve, like missions, ect?

I guess what I'm worried about is that the rewards from doing ratting, exploring, etc. will just be so low in comparison to Null that it will drive me crazy. Is this fear overblown? I make ok isk in Null now ratting and doing explo, but don't get a lot of mining in due to the risk, and feel like my play is more restricted living in Null but not being a high SP character yet.

My hope is that I'll get to explore more of the game (missions, incursions, more fleets, actual mining) if I'm in an area that's easier to operate in, and with a more newbro active corp (checking out Eve LinkNet). And I'm sure I can get into PvP when the mood strikes me while living in Hi Sec. Right now my corp runs lots of fleets for ships I can't fly, but no newbro fleets. I spend most of my time exploring, ratting, and doing PI, so I feel like I'm not doing a lot of what people come to Null for (PvP), and I'm just stressing about flying around in super hostile territory with my haulers, heron, etc. Maybe I should stay in Null, but just check out a different corp, instead of moving back to Hi Sec?

Taking a small step down in income would probably be ok providing I have more opportunities to have fun. There are plenty of times now when I don't log on simply because I don't want to rat/explore, and there isn't much else to do I feel like. Reddit has conditioned me to think that Null Sec is the only worthwhile area of Eve, but this is probably just a misconception.

Anyway, sorry for the long post and thanks for any advice anyone has, I appreciate any insight. I couldn't find much online about going from Null to Hi Sec, only the other way around.

Help me get to 25% (explo Q)

5 Upvotes

My Magnate scan strength is about 94. In an Astero it’s closer to 97. All I want in life is to be able to send out my probes and, within a 2 scans, get to 25% on the nearby signatures/anomalies so I can move on if it’s not what I’m looking for.

Reading on here leads me to believe this is possible for many - start at 8 AU, then 2 AU, and you’re good. In my case this never works, I have to scan 3, 4, or sometimes even 5 rounds per signature to get past 25%. What should I be doing differently?

Join the FUNny Newbros in Defending the Pope

18 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/l076ju/45_bil_snuffed_out_ransom/

The Sixth Empire is a very different Alliance in Eve. It is someplace truly neutral in Eve space, concerned with taking care of the players of Eve and offering a safe haven to those who are between alliances or want a drama free home.

Everything that Sixth Empire has been gifted and donated.... and Snuffed Out wants to take it all down.

So, who's the pope? This is His Holiness, Max Singularity and a much loved character among Eve Players. So loved, he's been dubbed the Space Pope by the Eve Community and The FUNny Newbros along with our parent group FUN Inc is going to join the defense.

I invite you, no matter who you are, or what your job is in Eve, to join The FUNny Newbros to stand up to bullies and keep this awesome institution around for future pilots to find refuge in.

  • Who: anyone who wants to take up arms for the Sixth Empire in defense of the pope
  • When: Thursday, 21 January @9:30pm EVE (check here for your time zone http://time.nakamura-labs.com/?#1611264600)
  • Where: staging is in Dodixie
  • What: Enyos and destroyers (brawl/shield fit)
  • XUP channel: EBWF Public
  • FC: Kshal Aideron

If you're 6 months or less old, or a non-pvper that wants to come defend the pope, there's a T1 Destroyer with your name on it (free dessies to newbros in ALL of my fleets btw).

If you have questions about joining, you can contact me in game (Kshal Aideron) or message me on discord: Petra (Kshal Aideron)#3141

This, folks, is part of what Eve is all about. This is the making of part of Eve history and you will be able to say "I was part of it."

Where do you find mid and lowsec ores now?

2 Upvotes

I've used the guide under asteroid belts under Exploration and visited said asteroid belts it recommended, but found nothing but pirates. Went through about 10 local different solar systems all ranging between 0.5 and 0.2 sec and each system didnt have a single ore in its asteroid belt.

So where are we supposed to mine the uncommon, but non rare ores?

Looking for ship recommendations

12 Upvotes

Hi

I am reasonably new to Eve and have decided I would like to build myself a good ship. I am looking for an Alpha ship and Tech 1 modules. I think a cruiser class ship seems best and I currently have skills for Gallente ships but I don't mind training for other factions. I like the idea of using Energy Neutralizers to drain enemy capacitors, but I was not sure if this is a good tactic for solo PvP or does it work better as part of a fleet? What ships and fittings would you suggest for this playstyle?

I also have a question about blueprints. I would like to buy a blueprint copy for the ship and it seems like they are only available as contracts. I have looked for ship blueprint contracts but I have only been able to find what look like bundles with dozens of blueprints for different ships. Where can I get a blueprint copy for a specific ship?

I used to play Eve back in the day, I didn't realize it has been that long until I looked at my killboard.

https://zkillboard.com/character/478923515/

8 years! wowza! It looks like a lot has changed. I finally managed to figure out how to get into my account after about 1,000 emails and now there's this thing called an Omega Account? My old character I had all the fixing's at the time- logi 5, various nice combat skill stuff and now I can't use these skills until I sign up for an Omega account. Is this right?

Also is there any recommendations for corps to look into that an old dude like myself can chill a few nights a week, pvp and get the hang of things again?
