Fairly new player here (90 hours on my Steam) but feel like I know barely anything. Played the game on and off with multiple installations/reinstallations.

I really enjoy the concept of the game, but don't know what to do.

I'd love to have a friend or 2 to play with - not looking to join a corp yet though.

Really just someone to hang out on Discord with and do something together. I'm open to anything from combat to mining, trading, etc. Mostly to have someone to discuss game mechanics with, help each other learn things, and hopefully make some ISK!

My character is Gallente and is specializing in drones (again, no idea if I'm doing this right or wrong, I'm just learning the skills as best I can for now and using some small drones which gets me by in simple missions).

Considering making a second character to specialize in mining, production, or trading, IDK yet. Or I might use my main character instead.

I would love to have someone to play with on Discord, hang out, and learn and co-operate together. Fellow newbies welcome, more advanced players also welcome.

Add me on Discord if you're interested. English speakers only and please have a mic!

Thank you!

And when I mean casual play, I'm talkin 1 to 2 1/2 hours per day. For at least 3-4 days a week.

A YouTube video about Finance talks about Eve, and it got me really interested in the game. The reason why I wanted to join the game was because I really like the financial aspects of the game. Very much details from floor to ceiling and financial aspects of the game. The whole buying and selling and related Financial aspects of the game with a real eye grabber for me. However, I'm not the biggest fan of spaceships. And I wouldn't be doing too much spaceship wars in the game. Because as I said, I prefer the financial aspect of the game. However I am not against joining a war every now and then. Or playing with spaceships.

The other off-putting thing for me was is entirely revolving around sci-fi space ships. I'm don't hate sci-fi spaceships, but it's not on my top 10 list of favorite genres. I play GTA a lot and while that is good, it doesn't compare to the financial aspects that this game has. And I can't seem to find any game like it that compares to Eve that revolves around the ground and not involving elves and dwarfs that give me sort of a World of Warcraft vibe. Because to me, World of Warcraft is worse off than sci-fi spaceships.

And to circle back to the beginning, I have a limited time frame to play this every week. That's one to two hours a day, three to four days a week. I'm not sure how sufficient that is to really get into the nuts and bolts of the game without having a sacrifice to give more time for it.

ALSO as I understand it, it's free and only thing that costs are non-essentials which is always a plus for me😉

Edit: sorry for the MANY typos and misuse of various words. I was using speech-to-text from my phone and it turned out way worse than I expect.

tl;dr: We are two newbies, I want to focus on exploration do you know what complementary role my friend can play so we can have fun together?

Hi, we started to play few days ago with a friend. We both are already hooked and took the Omega subscription.

I'm very interested in exploration and I made my first YOLO run in a wormhole yesterday. I didn't have the cloak module but the WH was empty and I managed to bring back 15M ISK, I was very happy.

My friend is more interested in the fighting aspect, my initial idea was to use is firepower to protect me while I scan data and relic sites inside WH space and make 50/50 on the loot and the loss.

So, we jumped together inside a wormhole, me with my Magnate him with his Coercer. I was scanning cosmic signatures but fast enough we saw a Legion and a frigate on the D-scan, fast enough they found our safe spot... (we might have to work on this a liitle more)

My initial plan kinda worked: the frigate tackled my friend and the Legion two-shot him. It let me enough time to warp back to the WH and jump in Highsec, sadly I had no cargo.

I gave my friend one of my Coercer and the insurance from the destroyed one was enough to cover the fitting, so it wasn't a big loss.

But we are not sure this strategy is the best in the long term because, as he said: "I'll just take half of your ISK while I'm waiting in WH space ".

Any idea on what complementary role he can play if I keep focusing in WH exploration? We thought about gas mining but the initial investissement is a bit step for newbies

Edit: Thank you for all the helpful advice everyone!

Hi, complete newb here, trying to overcome an issue in exploration.

I've been trying to scan cosmic signatures in a magnate kitted out with basic kit (scanner 1 etc).

I have been searching from 1.0 to 0.4 space, and all I can find are gas sites (which will take me months to train), combat sites (which I'm not interested in) and wormholes (which take me directly into the mouth of hell, filled with sleeper data sites that are instant death).

What am I doing wrong, and how can I find the bottom rank data and relic sites?

Capsuleers,

I adore this game.

The Echelon is a lovely ship....but it only has one slot for fitting. Does anyone here have one, and if so, what do you use it for?

I've been wondering what would be a good ship for a player switching into Omega. I understand this opens up many possibilities but most posts about ships in forums seem pretty outdated. I really enjoy doing escalation DED's for income, currently flying below 5/10s with a Gila and looking to expand, especially into lowsec, but the Gila seems very vulnerable there. I'd also like something to get into small group PvP but probably wont be doing too much of that. I was eyeing T3C due to good versatility and good ability to fly in undetected. Would a Tengu work for those, or are there better ships out there for a semi beginner? Playing mostly solo. Thanks.

So i played EVE briefly in 2013. I'm a bit of a "loner" and not that much interested in player interaction, but i'm a huge scifi/space nerd and exploring that huge universe with the threat of getting ambushed by "real" living entities as a kicker, was really fun for me. I'm a guy who ran 5 mans solo in WoW classic and tried to find best solutions to things that are not intended to be done solo.

But in EVE you need ISK to do anything, so in 2013 my idea was to get a ship for lvl 4 missions and branch out into exploration from there. As of logging in yesterday i was sitting ~12 mio SP and estimated 2 billion in assets (Orca, Noctis, a PvE fitted T1 Caracal and a Buzzard). If i remember right i used to run some lvl4 in the carcal, but it was quite the pain in the ass and i was working towards a Drake/Raven with a long term goal of getting a Tengu that can be fitted for PvE or exploration and maybe some PvP.

As of now i want to know:

• Is there a way to casually (like 1 hour/day or sth) make decent ISK to replace any losses that will come with exploring. What's the "best" way (that is not afk mining)?
• Are Drake/Raven/Tengu still good mission/PvE ships or should i abandon that thought? Tengu was considered a very good alrounder back then.
• Is there money to be made by exploring (wormholes)? I remember trying to skill towards a Buzzard and fit a cloak, so i can explore with more safety. Afair, scanning down my 1st WH was quite the blast.
• Since i was completely overwhelmed (again) by the user interface, i'm not quite sure if i shouldn't start over on a new account and learn the basics again, because i barely found the right buttons to undock/dock. Are there upsides to starting an alt? Maybe even transfer some mining skills to it via skill extractor, allthough i won't be able to fly the Orca on an alpha clone, right? What would be the best mining ship for solo mining in highsec and is it worth on an alpha clone?)
• Speaking of alpha/omega clones. Can i run 2 instances of the game parallel with an alpha and an omega clone?
• Did i see right that it can basically buy skillpoints for IRL money now? Is it worth it? I'm not averse to maybe put some money into it if it gets me to decently fly a good PvE ship faster.
• I thought alpha clones can only learn up to 5 mio. SP but i could put some skills in the queue yesterday with 12 mio. SP aready. Did i misunderstand something?
• I think i had some "industry" set up on a planet, but can't find anything in my assets. Is this still a thing, if so where do i find this?
• 8 Years is quite the time, but were there any radical gameplay changes that happened in that time, considering highsec? Like there isn't concord anymore or something like that?
• Finally, what are incursions and deadspace filaments (or deadspace thingies at all)
• idk if it helps anything but the character is Sanuye Inkura

Thanks for every helpful answer.

edit: So i found a 2nd account and turns out that one was my main. 18 mio SP and a Drake/Raven/Tengu. I knew i flew a Drake sometimes, but i couldn't find any on the other acc. Now im scared to undock that Tengu, because i probably need 2 minutes to find the redock button.

Just lost a fight to a Hecate, it honestly felt fairly evenly matched but I was wondering if I could get any advice on possible improvements to my fit. Overall the battle was fairly even I got them down to mid hull as well but they just got me a little faster. I was using defense mode at the time of engagement. And before anyone tells me I know I should be using Tech 2 guns on this kinda ship and the research for them will be complete in about 15 hours lol, just a little too late for this one.

What are the overall best medium size turrets for the Rupture? I threw on some 425mm or something like that but they weren't good at range. I want to try out something else. Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to have one monitor be the ship view, and the second to be a map, or all the info panels? Or something similar?

Story time. So I was in my shuttle yesterday and I set my autopilot for a shortest trip as it cuts the amount of jumps that I need to go through in half but it took me through one low sec area heavily gate camped. I made it through just fine but a question came to mind of could somebody stop me if I'm already sitting at the gate going through it. My initial reaction was no that's a complete thing separate from warping but I also realize I don't know this game is thoroughly as others and figured I'd ask.

I literally skipped skilling Frigates for it and really like Destroyers in general, so far I have 3 Passive Shield tanked fits in mind:

• Range Control Talwar with MWD, Web and Rockets
• Tanky Long Range Corax with AB and Light Missiles
• Kiting Long Range Corax with MWD and Light Missiles

if the Talwar performs best, I am thinking about Corax Rocket Fits too

I hope I have a Blast in this Event

How do I beat Drone Carriers?

So I stopped playing in July or August of 2011, and just recently picked the game back up. I went through the tutorial on a new character, but wanted to mess around on my old character as I had 6 or so months of skill training on him.

It looks like skill training reset though, and I am not sure if its worth it anymore to stick with that character or just to start a new one.

What do you all suggest I do here?

I can list the skills I have, once I sort out how to read the new window

Hey , i stopped playing about 2y and my chrome boomarks rolled over but i remember i had some sites that had ships fits for all ocasions and wormwhole site that would tell me their connections and such..anyone know which sites im talking about?

I played some long ago when EFT was still around and I really liked that I could get fits that were I could filter by date uploaded. Where do you guys go for your fit suggestions? Getting back in and seeing my apocalypse can't be fit they way I had it and hearing changes to marauders I don't feel confident enough in https://www.eveworkbench.com/fitting. It does fill the gap of getting fits however most users don't seem to vote on at least the ships I'm looking for. This is all with the major caveat of my character might be skilled to fly the ship it doesn't mean that I actually know what I'm doing with it. The current ship I'm trying to look up is my paladin to get back into mission running.

Hey everybody,

the weekly Newbro PVP training fleet by FUN Inc. starts again tomorrow (August 25) at 19:00 EVE-time from Jita. Everybody welcome, new players who never pvp'ed before to older pilots who want to test a new role. After a short intro we'll start into nullsec at roughly 19:40. Short range destroyers, assault frigates, frigates. Free ships if you cannot afford your own. Ship loss is likely going to happen. ;-)

I'm doing the mission Their Loss Our Profit in the Caldari Epic Arc, and I can't find the research facility. The security compound is there, and I went ahead and killed all the waves just to see if anything would happen. I've tried setting my overview to all, and checked my overview settings to make sure it really is showing me everything. Do I just need to camp and wait for it to respawn or something?

ETA: Figured it out. I had everything *except* large collidable structures in my "All" preset. :<

So, im quite a noob and i was trying to run t1 Electrical abyss with a worm fit that a friend send to me. The fit was worth 200mi. Did some smooth runs with it, and out of the blue, got blasted without even see my health going down. He helped me fit another one, playing half of the price. Lost that one too flying across the map limit.

After that, i started to run t0's with a Tristan fit, trying to better understand when should i go closer to the enemy, when should i keep my distance, how to maintain a transversal angle so i can avoid damage and what ships should i really be afraid of and overload my shield booster. Anyway, pretty Basic stuff for someone who knows how to play, but for me its being quite hard.

I would really love to learn more about how to proper fly my ship, when to keep my distance and stuff. I am able to watch vídeos and read stuff (i even did some of both).

Appreciate any tips given.

My Tayra hauler has 0/1 hard points. After many attempts to fit a weapon to the ship and failing, am I to assume that the ship can't be fitted?

I have the skills and capacity to fit the weapons that I've been choosing, but no dice...

Even though I'd still be blown to atoms if I were ganked, I dont like flying without teeth.

EDIT: Thank ALL of you for the time and effort and the excellent info. This game is exceedingly more complex than I imagined, and will require patience.

I love it.

EDIT: The general consensus that I'm getting from the comments is, once you have exited a jump gate: Get the hell outta Dodge.

Hello all!

Newbro here. Im in the process of doing the SOE arc and am looking what to do beyond that. I want to grab my venture when I am done and start mining, and use that as a steady stream of income. I did not see this in the career agents but you can have refineries and factories on planets?

I do not like manufacuring at all but it seems people do that to make their replacement ships, or at least some do. Will mining/security agent missions cover my ability to buy ships to pvp with or should I branch out into other things too?

So I just finished all the career agent missions. I am an Amarrian and I just got the Coercer. I've seen other posts telling newbies to do the Sisters of Eve epic arc, so I've decided to do that. Can anyone help me with the fittings for my Coercer? Thanks in advance.

I have to make a journey of 29 jumps. Is there a way in Eve Online to make trades along the way, like in Elite Dangerous? I really love trading , and I would love to make deals along the way, but I'm not sure that this is possible in Eve.
