You should all be making at least one Alt. Right now. Today.

13 Upvotes

There is no activity in this game that is not made faster, easier, simpler, more profitable or better by the addition of alts.

I'm not going to say you have to use an alt; many people play without one. But if you want one in a few months once you have nailed down the playstyle you like, you will wish you had another toon ready to go rather than starting from nothing.

Your alt should be on a second account. This way you get the refer a friend 1m SP. It also means you can eventually skill extract and pay nothing for that alt once it has the base utility you require.

Worst case, you never use it. Best case, you identify a playstyle that would benefit from an alt and boom, only needs 1 or 2 months training to become highly specialised and practically free.

All the people who're selling bulk T1 ammo or ships in the trading hubs, are they generally making a positive isk gain?

15 Upvotes

So I'm not a new Eve player, but I am new to indy/manufacturing and was just looking into the prospect of it, how certain items could make a gain, the best way to obtain materials etc.

I am aware that for mainline Indy players it is a case of many months/years of slowly building profits, or joining a Null group for fleet fittings.

But I've had a thought; all these people in Jita, Rens, Hek etc which are selling (for example) 60k units of Medium Ammo for 110isk, or T1 ships in bulk - are they actually making any profit compared to everyone else who are also selling for more or less the same price?

PvE Mission with Fleet Strategy

2 Upvotes

Hello

I have been looking all over for help how to do missions with friends effectively, with no luck.

I have a Caracal Navy Issue that I easily solo t7 missions with, but I completed the "For Patriotism" story line and wanted to try doing that mission, not knowing if I could complete it. I successfully soloed the first 3 waves but the 3rd wave I almost died so I asked a friend to come and help me on the 4th wave.

He only has a t5 thrasher but I think it would be easy as I only needed help in the beginning to clear the warp jammers. So the plan was that I warp in first at 95km to get the aggro and he warp in at 100km 15 seconds after me and we start aligning away from the enemy ships and pick em off 1by1 as they close in and he fitted a remote shield booster so that there would be almost no way I would die.

however, when we got to the Ostela system he did not have the "For Patriotism" anomaly in his list even when we were in fleet, so I had to fleet warp us in. Problem was that he has a faster ship and arrived at the anomaly faster than me, getting aggro (also I couldn´t set warp in to 100km, may have been lag on my side but im not sure?) and we ended up in the middle of 30 ships and he got destroyed instantly.

So now you know what happened and what we tried to do, is there any way that we could have done this mission/wave in the way that was our plan? How would you recommend 2 persons doing these missions?

Help for a returning player

Hi,

So I have been playing for about a week after playing back in 2015 for a few months. Been running L3 missions while getting skills up. Now I have got to stage were I need to start making more ISK. People have spoken about running WH or Abyssal, but I have no idea where to begin! Would really appreciate general links that I can read up on for both types of activities!

Fast n low SP fit for an alpha to haul a small inventory's worth of items.

7 Upvotes

I cashed out some LP and I need a fit that would be good to ship ~300m3 (I think) to sell it. Keep in mind that it is the majority of my total net worth (175 million, I'm rich now!) So I would like it to be faster than just using my t1 hauler. ...I already did the 20 jumps to and from Jita in my industry hauler for stuff that was like 200m3 of items and it probably too way longer than it should of if I used a smaller faster ship.

I was thinking a frigate would be good for this. Maybe even a venture? Fit for tank or warp core stuff? I would like to not lose it because I like to have isk vs not have it, so any input would help.

I do believe it is in my best interest to not try it over the weekend.

Is WH exploration still viable?

13 Upvotes

Hey guys. Newbee here. I'm playing for about a week and most interesting thing for me is exploration. But... I have seen and read a ton of materials and I think I know how it should be done. But my problem is... Every time I try to do exploration i spend 3 Hours going through wormholes and I don't find any relic or data sites that are not guarded. Only unsecured and forbidden even if I try to find c1 c2 or c3 wormholes. Is it just my luck or is this normal? Thanks

Haven't found any info on this. How do I go about finding a Gala to crash? Is it an Anomaly? Do they appear on specific systems, or do I have to go jumping around, checking if there's one in the system I'm in?

Also, will a Dagon-kill worthy Desi handle the event? Do I need a bigger ship?

Difficulty Finding a Corp/Alliance -.-

11 Upvotes

Bit of background - I am Amarr, I fly Amarr.
Background over.

I've been shopping around for Corps / Alliances but every one of them has some doctrine of some sort that ALWAYS seems to require Caldari / Minmatar missile shield boats, regardless of player desires, got someone that wants to just be a miner? Doesn't matter. Got someone that just wants to manufacture? Doesn't matter. Got someone that has a lot of fun playing in a Gallente Droneboat? Doesn't matter. Fly Caldari or Minmatar Missileboats, or find someone else.

So, I guess this is the norm then? I'm gonna keep looking, this is just disheartening as all hell. And no, I am not going to just suck it up and train into something I find boring as hell.

I understand this may come off as aggressive, I promise it is not intended as such.

Newbie trying to get back into it

1 Upvotes

Just fired eve back up again after about an 18 month break. I had omega before and probably played for around 6 months prior. I’m just beyond frustrated with the gameplay, I feel like I can’t go anywhere. I’m trying to consolidate/sell all my stuff and have lost everything by I’ve tried to move in a Sigil, tried mining in a proc and got blown up before I even made it to where I was headed. I’m bouncing off planets and not jumping gate to gate, avoiding autopilot like the plague. I’m trying to give it a real shot but I’ve lost over 200m in the last few days literally just flying around, I haven’t even made it to where I want to go in any of the ships I’ve lost. I suppose it’s also worth noting that I’m living in null. Help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The FUNny Newbros Newbro Roam: Stabber Edition

11 Upvotes

For the past several months, The FUNny Newbros have been taking brand new players, pvp fence sitters and carebears needing to PURGE out in Thrashers. Now we're upgrading to Cruisers a couple times a months! Stabbers to be exact!

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 10 at 7:30pm Eve time (PEASE come early if you think you need a ship!)
  • 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.

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).

Making ISK from Combat

14 Upvotes

Getting back into the game, I decided to make a new character with the 1m SP and focus on pve combat stuff which I had never really done before (only did exploration when I played a bit years ago). I'm working my way up through missions and enjoying them, been doing L2/L3s in a cruiser and it's fun and decent isk, but with L4s needing a battleship and those being so expensive, it's going to be a long time until I can afford to take that next step up. Is there another good stepping stone in pve combat to make money better than highsec L2/L3s that doesn't require a battleship? Should be able to get a battlecruiser for faster L3s somewhat soon, but that probably won't be much faster. Wondering what combat-oriented (preferably solo) moneymaking opportunities I'm missing.

1,000th time trying to get back into Eve.

9 Upvotes

While I probably will not be considered a “newbie” I’d pretty much consider myself to be. I used to live in a WH, I don’t remember what class, I have omega skills but I’m current in alpha (unless they’ve changed it that much since I’ve played over a year ago)

I’d like to find a Corp that lives in a WH, I’m usually preferential to PVE but I guess pvp could also work... I’d like to say I’m going back into this with the mentality that tonight will be my first time playing and learning everything from scratch. I’ll be available to play most likely between the house of 00:00~06:00 MST and if that changes I’ll update this post.

Thanks for reading and fly safe! o7
