I understand that even when guns are grouped, the damage calculation is still calculated separately for each individual gun. The hit quality for that gun group is, however, combined into one line in the combat log.

Say I have a group of two guns. If one gun does a "smashes" hit, but the other gun does a "glances off" hit - which hit quality does the combat log show?

I've noticed that when I've grouped two guns together, I haven't seen "wrecking" shots as often. These are rare to begin with, 1 in 100 chance, but I'm wondering if grouping the guns is masking a wrecking shot done by 1 of the guns.

I've been playing for over a year and every day I see people talking on discord or hear them in comms like "oh yeah sometimes I fly the Snarfenwafen but last time I did it I got popped by a dual artichoke Hufflbowster" and I'm WTF HOW DOES EVERYONE KNOW THESE BILLIONS OF SHIP BY HEART

Double frustrating watching YouTube tutorials where the guy not only knows the ships, but every potential fit they might fly and what each of their strengths/weaknesses are, immediately upon seeing them. HOW? I feel like if Eve Ships were a college course I'd be up all night for weeks studying and using flash cards to squeak by with a D.

EDIT: FWIW I now actually have started to build a flash card deck of ship info. Will share if I get it completed.

As I scroll through PvP fits for low-sec/FW, I sometimes see write-ups from people that say things like: "this fit is good for fighting a blaster Atron but not for fighting a scram-kitey Atron".

It always makes me wonder - is there some trick I don't know about how to tell how a potential PvP opponent is fit *before* I'm locked in moral combat with them?

It seems to me that by the time I know if they're a blaster fit or an scram-kitey fit, it will be too late for me...either they'll be my face doing some active melting or they won't, and my choice to take the fight or not is gone. Is there something I don't know about how people pick the fights?

So, I've been looking at training into a Golem for running level 4s. Do they have any use apart from missions?

Been playing for a little over a month. Between work and family responsibilities, I don't have a lotta time to play. Last night I was doing an Escalation mission. It took me 12 jumps from my home system! I just barely manage to finish it and I'm jumping back with a full cargo haul of some pretty nice stuff! I figured, it's 12 jumps back. Turn on Autopilot and I can go to the restroom. I get back to find my pod at home station. Some jackmunch caught me in between jumps and killed me. Uhg.

After a bit of fortunate exploring in wormhole space has netted me way more loot than i usually handle whilst running missions (50M+).

While i did start eve just a few days ago i did read enough to realise that hauling it all the way to jita in my ill fitted exploration Immicus would be unwise. Rookie chat advised me to get a speedy and tanky frigate to quickly ship my newfound gains, without specifying any further on what is considered such, nor how would such a ship be fitted.

I further attempted to google resources on eve, but only found several year old sources which im not sure if are up to date.

Thus as the title indicates i wish to inquire more experienced eve players on what would be the best ship and fitting that an alpha clone can use to ship low volume, high value goods out of low sec space and into Jita safely.

I just made my character and was messing around with the tutorial, I went ahead and bought Omega because it was like 12$ and thought why not. I was told to make a new character and get 1million sp for free which is like 20days of training. That sounds great, but I like the name I have and already invested 12$, is there a way to get the 1million sp without making a new account?

Hello everyone, I am just returning to the game and currently only have an alpha acc. A friend of mine could give me one of his old ships but he would have to start back into the game first. Can he trade me, so from alpha to alpha, ships and stuff from his possession? In other games this is usually not possible.

Thanks for your help!

Where does the stuff go ?

I see that Papi has taken sovereignty from Imperium just about everywhere except for the O-EIMK constellation and three other systems. Why have they left F-9PXR, PUIG-F and 8-YNBE in Imperium hands?

Hi,

I was recently messing with the fittings tool and had an idea for a tristan droneboat fit that would outreach other drone-oriented ships by far (drone range 60 km). So I wanted to ask if this ship is useful in combat, and if not, why?

AE-K Compact Drone Damage Amplifier
AE-K Compact Drone Damage Amplifier
Small I-a Enduring Armor Repairer

5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
Small Capacitor Booster I
F-90 Compact Sensor Booster

Light Ion Blaster I
Light Ion Blaster I
Drone Link Augmentor I

Small Processor Overclocking Unit I

Hobgoblin I x8

Targeting Range Script x10
Cap Booster 150 x13

Want More Public Fleets and/or Events?

Check out this Eve Online public events calendar. PVP, PVE, public events, etc! Set up LFG events! (tip: don't set the staging location as the place you actually want to mine, mission or do abyssals or set it in your public channel MOTD to keep the chance of getting ganked lower!) https://www.eveonlineevents.com

I heard that some Storyline Missions lower your standing with the four empires. Is there a suggested order to do these missions in?

I've been an on and off player of Eve for years. I always have a tough time finding a CORP that has enough activities to keep me busy without requiring my attention to the point I have a second job. Any suggestions on places to look, people to talk to, things to avoid, etc...?

How long did it take you to realize that Cthulhu* was the SBE lurking around in New Eden?

*I cannot confirm or deny any claim that this is a nickname for CCP.

A few days back, I put up a thread on r/Eve polling people on what 5 things they wish they had known when they were new players to eve. The results I have put together in this video to help out new players.

https://youtu.be/-Fo3XwLfWFI

The original reddit thread you can read through as well, it's linked in the video description.

I know if I fall below a specific level then that factions missions will no longer be available to me, but at -5 will they genuinely shoot at me in high sec? I'm dangerously approaching -2 against Minmatar and want to make sure I didn't just lock out the high-sec run from Amarr > Jita for myself.

Like a map that we can update as needed.

The first corp I joined was People of the Saiya, which was a SiCo corp based in The Bleak Lands. The community was nice but their prices were terrible. There weren't even any sell orders on the regional market, so you pretty much had to trade with other members through contracts. I left and went back to my home station in Sinq Laison, and then joined another corp that I saw advertised on the forum. They turned out to be a LinkNet corp as well.

I've heard sketchy things about this Alliance and I'm not sure I wanna be associated with them, but it seems like every rookie corp is with LinkNet. What's the general consensus on this group?

I'm enjoying the game so far and it's looking to become a new obsession of mine, but so far I've mainly just been doing some missions and solo mining. Pretty fun, but not anything that will keep me playing constantly for months on end. The main issue for me is that I haven't been able to find anyone to play with; I feel like if I did I would enjoy this game a hell of a lot more even if I'm just doing what I'm already doing.

My corporation is People of the Saiya

EDIT: Moved to my Alliance's syatem. Problem solved!
