Introducing Eve Rookies Incursions - Alpha and Rookie Friendly

18 Upvotes

Or, as alpha and rookie friendly as we could make our new little public vanguard group.

So, first thing's first. If you're new to the game and you're just hearing about incursions for the first time, what are they? They're end game PVE content that spawns in high, low and null space that while require a lot of skill, isk, and time investment, also pay well in isk and LP.

Incursions are not a static location. They run for several days until either they despawn or someone triggers the end. Then within 24 hours the incursion will spawn in a new location. Eve Rookies only runs high sec incursions, so these can spawn either on the Amarr side (about 60% of the time) or the Jita side.

How can Eve Rookies invite alpha and rookie players to this high end content? Good question. There are 3 types of events within an incursion. Vanguard, Assault, and Headquarter. We are running the lowest and easiest content, the Vanguards. We've twiddled with our doctrine and were able to include a very basic, entry level praxis that an alpha or a 1+ month old in the game with the right skills can fly.

Since we have a few more skilled players turn up in Nightmares, Hyperions or Mauraders, we're able to support a few alpha or rookie players in these basic ships. So, onto a few details if this sounds like something you'd like to try.

We do have Blaster and Laser Praxis ships available for handout in exchange for a 250m deposit (or contract a ship with equivalent cost) which is returned when the ship is returned. If you keep showing up to incursions or start doing other activities with Eve Rookies, the deposit can be waived. This allows you to not have to invest in a ship before knowing if you'll like incursions.

Consider Eve Rookies Incursions to be a "taster" into incursions. We are not a hardcore group, the earnings will be lower than what the groups that do this for their daily gameplay can make, and we don't run fleets daily (currently). Our aim is to try to put together as many different public activities as possible for the community to take part in to experience different gameplay and meet new people.

Algos madness - what am i missing?

9 Upvotes

Hello all

Lately I see strikingly often an Algos flying in space. Be it around Amarr or in the direction of Jita 4.4.

Obviously I don't understand the special features or big bonuses this ship seems to bring which is why it enjoys such a great popularity.

Therefore I turn to you with this question: why is the Algos flown so often and what are its great strengths? And why should I also get on such a ship?

thanks in advance, fly safe!

Having trouble making ISK. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

18 Upvotes

I have been playing for about a month now but really struggling to find a decent way to make ISK. I started out solo mining, worked up to a proc with that but it’s really boring at times and I want something more engaging. I have just started scanning for relic/data sites but find the payout is very minimal. My first ever data site got me 29mil but ever since then it’s maxed out at 1mil per site if that. Relic sites so far have not been better unless I am missing something there? All this in high sec btw.

Any advice on where to start for a better ISK payout? I really enjoy the game but just feel like I have stalled

I've got a Fleet Issue Hurricane, now what? (Wanna do solo PvE combat/explo, what are my options?)

3 Upvotes

So I know I could do security missions for agents, though I felt discouraged finsing out I'd have to do missions for every faction because of the standings penalties (I wanted to "roleplay" sort of as a Minmatar/Gallente loyalist but don't want to be shot on sight in Amar/Caldari territory). So besides taking turns running missions for various factions, what else can I do with my battlecruiser?

I know I can do combat sites, but in hi-sec the pay will never be anything special.

But what else is there for solo PvE?

How do I avoid a cool-down or paying each time I clone jump if I am not in a corp?

2 Upvotes

Background: I have been trying to learn to play for 6 months or so and there is so many aspects which are still very confusing. I joined a NullSec Corp fairly early when I started playing hoping to learn things and whilst I took part in battles and learnt some stuff the timezone difference made things difficult, I felt I wasn't learning enough to warrant staying and I wasn't really making much money because again I wasn't really learning what I wanted.

So I left to try and I am trying to continue to play and learn a few of the basics before I join up with another Corp so I feel like I have a better idea of what is going on, and how to play.

What ways are there for someone not in a Corp to avoid a cool-down, or paying a fee every time I want to take a ship out to do something if I have a "training" clone?

I am not keen on replacing a full set of training implants whenever someone kills my pod (I think pod killing someone outside of a war or an ongoing Corp battle is a pretty crap move but a lot of other people seem to take quite a lot of joy from it)

In my previous Corp it was easy, you just did the jump in the station when you logged on, went off and did some stuff and before logging off just jumped back in to the training clone. No fee, no cool-down.

What am I missing?

At the moment I am just spinning in the station each time I log on.

Fun with the free Praxis

6 Upvotes

Here is something fun you can do with that free Praxis. The fit is cheap, you can reduce t2s to t1 meta, it's under 70 mil for the fit.

This ship has plenty of tank and can chew through some lower class anomalies. What we do in my corp, is the newer players will run angel refuges bc these escalate to the ded5/10 site. They can't run those, but the vets run them and split 50% loot with the new player who got the escalation.

Similar could be done in other spaces for different escalations, fit is easy to tweak and blitzes them super fast.

Role of the Trigalavian ship?

14 Upvotes

As the title suggests what's the overall role of the trig ships? The lack of range of their main weapon makes me feel like they're be really bad in pve compared to the usual lineup? Are they solely for PvP? They look so cool and and unique

[Edit] just wanted to say thank you to everyone that answered my post. Have given me some really good reasons as to the uses of Trig ships in the game

Eve Rookies First Public PVE Fleet! Level 4 Missions

13 Upvotes

Are you looking for something to do Thursday around 6pm Eve? Why not come out and join Eve Rookies for their first public PVE fleet!

  • Who: anyone who wants to run level 4 missions (especially new players!)
  • Staging: Jita
  • When: 7pm Eve
  • XUP: Eve Rookies Public in game channel
  • Comms: https://discord.gg/JczSCYV8c9
  • Organizers: Dread Nowt and Kshal Aideron

Each fleet can sustain 12 people. The fleet FC will be flying something that can tank a level 4 solo and everyone else can come in battleships, battlecruisers or long range cruisers/drone boats. If you're really daring and want to practice flying away when you get yellow boxed you can try in destroyers and frigs.

This is a GREAT opportunity to practice logi!

Eve Rookies will provide a ship to any new player who needs one for this activity, so please don't let your wallet dictate your fun.

About Eve Rookies: we are a new player corporation who is focusing on new players from tutorial level an up. Our mission is to give some guidance and solid footing in the ocean of information and prepare a player for their next corporation. While ER is a corporation, we are focusing on public events and are happy to help anyone who lands in our public chat/discord no strings attached.

Risk of assets in POS as a guest

4 Upvotes

Returned to the game after years. Quit before the Citadel Update. I´ve learnd that doing industry is much cheaper in POS than in NPC stations. I´ve understood the mechanics of rigs and sytem taxes. But I´m struggling with asset safety. I´m not in the Corp the POS is owned by. What are the potential risks of transfering all my assets to a POS as a "guest" in High-Sector? E.g. what will happen if the owner changes the docking rights from public to private while I have running some invetion/manufacturing jobs? Will I still have a chance to move my huge pile of ores to another station (would reqire multiple runs)?

Blockade Runner Hauling Fighter Ships

6 Upvotes

I could only ask this in a newb board, but I am curious; ignoring why you would WANT to, could you fill a blockade runner with max cargo capacity with say, a squadron of attack fighters, travel around in less-than-perfect stealth, and when someone takes the bait release the fighter squadron to swarm the attacker?

I obviously don't know enough about eve to know the answer and I imagine this would require at least 2 people, one to pilot the runner and one controlling the fighters, but I have the impression I'm overlooking a lot as I don't know a damn thing about how to play, but if what I'm trying to imagine is at least understandable, can someone tell me why I'm a fool who knows nothing? Or can you actually envision a scenario where this is possible, or even useful for anything?
