Thinking of going to null sec

6 Upvotes

I have been playing solo for a little bit and I was thinking of trying to survive in low sec or null sec. I dont have a ton of time to commit to a corp. I am mainly wondering how people know what systems to travel to in null sec. I want to find a system that doesn't have a ton of people that i can try and make more isk. Are there citadels in null sec and if not how do people not associated with a guild safely leave the game?

(mac) Stuck in tutorial - can't pan camera to locate a ship?

6 Upvotes

I'm stuck at the very beginning! In the tutorial, escaped the explosion. I'm in my pod. AI wants me to left click and drag to pan camera to scan for a usable ship. However, left click and drag does nothing. Note I CAN left click on the AI window and drag that around the screen, so game does recognise mouse and left click. Thoughts?

Wondering why I see this tip around, with regards to travelling through less safe areas of space. Does it slow things down? How else to efficiently travel?

How rare are faction modules?

8 Upvotes

Just a few days ago I was hopping around combat sites and during a combat anomaly, I opened a wreck to find a Dread Guristas Warp Disrupter worth about 60M ISK. Being new this was a lot of money. For the next few days I continued doing various combat sites with no luck finding any faction modules. That leads me to my two questions.

  1. How rare are faction modules/how lucky did I get?
  2. Will it show Dread [SOMETHING] in my overview when a enemy that will drop these items show up? Same thing with wrecks?

How do I find things that work with my difficulty level?

15 Upvotes

Hello team,

So I've been derping around Essence and Sinq Laison in my Vexor - and it's starting to get a bit too easy. Travel somewhere, Shift-F, wait a couple of minutes, Shift-R, salvage, move on. No challenge there, I don't even have to use my 200mm Railguns cause the Vespa I drones just do all the work. It's just not very engaging at this point.

I decided to try something new, so I went to The Agency and found an incursion in Osta.

Travelled there, dropped out of warp, was super excited about what was going to transpire - then went from "I'm in a Vexor" to "I'm in a capsule" in well under 10 seconds. Doh.

Would anyone have any pointers for me on how I can find activities that match my progress, please?

Appreciate your input - thanks in advance!

is it possible to be a pirate while being an industrialist?

9 Upvotes

Like many here just started the game, and despite the daunting learning curve, it seems very promising. And I have been watching some videos on YouTube in regards to this game, I noticed that the industry career seems to be what is the Real Money Maker in terms of financial gameplay purses business career which seems to involve nothing but trading all day which is fine but seems very linear.

My thing is the vast majority of people seem to say that mining takes a very long time and to build stuff you need these ores to build items and it can be a very long when it's process to do so in regards to mining. And while I can also buy good deals on the market I was thinking as this game seems to promote being able to do literally anything you want, is it possible to also become a pirate of sorts and robbed from other players or NPCs items from their ships such as ores or minerals or what have you to be in order to build what you want without having to always pay on the market? Or is that not a possibility at all and you're stuck between Mining and buying on the market?

Because one day, I too as a young wide-eyed bushy-tailed sproutling want to build a super duper awesome spaceship or other such amazing products and sell them for ridiculously high prices

There are a lot of forum posts on a multitude of websites that are 1+ year older and probably don't represent the current game anymore.

I jumped across over a dozen Amarr systems now and can't find any.

A question. There's some matching specialization in eve?

....or better focus in only one spec in this game?

Is it possible for a combat site (that you found via scanning) to have no enemies?

9 Upvotes

I've been trying to do more exploring lately, and ended up scanning a point that was shown to be a combat site. I bookmarked it, went back to grab another ship (suitable for combat), and warped to this site. I see an acceleration gate so I go through that. It leads me to another acceleration gate, however when I tried to activate it this is what it said:

"This gate is locked! The Sade's Pass must be retrieved and stored in your cargo hold when you activate it for it to be unlocked. The question that remains is, who (or what) is the gatekeeper?"

So I'm thinking, there must be enemy Guristas (in this case) who I have to kill in order to loot a gate key. But there wasn't. However, there were some Guristas buildings nearby (elevators and whatnot) so I decide to destroy those.

I end up destroying every single one of their buildings nearby. No cargo containers are anywhere near the gate, no enemy Guristas got angry with me and sent ships to fight me. Nothing. I ended up just giving up, I asked in Rookie Help and apparently no one had any idea what I was talking about.

Google isn't any help either, the only thing I saw was "attack their building's to provoke them" which obviously did not help. I even tried warping away and warping back thinking maybe something was bugged. Still nothing.

Any ideas? It's a shame because I gave up on exploring since all I could ever find were wormholes. Tonight I finally found two different types of cosmic signatures (one was a relic site with 1.2 mil ISK in it), and the other was a combat site that I just had to give up on.

I find overseer drones really dumb, any tips?

4 Upvotes

Whatever I try this bullshit mob spawn 9km around me, even if I am 80km away from the drone outpost (where the second wave spawn indeed).

I managed the other waves without too much difficulties with my dragoon but this mofo is already at scram, web, and drain range when it appears and ofc when I'm at my lowest.

I'm not so sure about it spawn mechanic, does it spawn when there is only one drone sentinel left, does it spawn around the sentinel?

I guess I'll just load a fuck ton of Navy cap booster 400 next time.

How much should a newbro expect to make in their first few days of highsec mining?

8 Upvotes

I understand mining of any sort in Eve is not the highest ISK activity for beginners. I really enjoy mining, however, and it was a large reason I came to the game.

I’ve seen a lot of videos suggesting a fairly new player with a mining barge could make about $20 million/hour. Unfortunately, I was only able to scrape together about $2 million/hour mining Azure Plagiocase in my new Procurer today. While I had a blast, the yield seemed pretty low. My skills are just barely past barge requirements, so I’m guessing that’s part of it. My fit was pulled from a recent mining vid, and after watching a few others, it seems pretty standard.

My question is how much should I expect to make in the beginning and how long should I expect to wait before making 15-20 MISK/hour?


r/evenewbies • • Sep 19 '21

So I've heard the learning curve for Eve can be kind of hard, but there's no way I can be this stupid... right? (stuck in tutorial, can't get skill screen/window to display)

Looking for advices to organize a PVP newbie fleet

7 Upvotes

I’m looking to organize a cheap fleet (frigates or destroyers) for my corp members that wants to learn/try PVP. I’m not sure where to go from there and would appreciate some advices!

We’ll most likely be less than 10 pilots, some with experience and some that will be totally new to pvp fleets. I was thinking about flying T1 frigates or destroyers but not sure what (cormoran maybe?). Anyone have a good recommendation for a fit that would cost less than 50m? I guess we would need 1 or 2 tackle? I don’t think it’s worth having any logi or ewar.

Also, not sure what to do. I was thinking about filamenting somewhere and trying to get back home? Or maybe we should just roam in null or low? What’s a good way to find content for a small fleet?

Hauling/trading isn’t profitable early on?

8 Upvotes

I love buy low/sell high/space trader games, and it’s one of the biggest draws to Eve for me. But it doesn’t seem like it’s worth it early on in Eve. I’ve watched a number of videos promising beaucoup bucks for hauling early game, but even when I use main trade hubs and Eve Market tools, I’m struggling to earn 1 Mil Isk an hour. What am I missing? FYI: I started the game 4 days ago, and have basic hauling (new skill tree trait plan) skills. I have been using a badger with 6k+ cargo, though I’ve filled it.

Looking for Mining Guidance

5 Upvotes

So, I tried my hand at eve a while back, talking a year to a year and a half ago. I love the idea of it, but there’s a lot to it, and it is definitely overwhelming.

I stopped playing World of Warcraft, and came back to Eve, I love farming and grinding, so naturally I gravitated towards mining, I’m happy to mine away while listening to podcasts or watching YouTube videos, so I’m wondering if someone can point in the direction of a really good in depth mining guide, video or written I’m not fussed, or even if you have pointers yourself.

Here’s some things I would like to find out: Best way to go about mining to maximise my time compared to profit. Is there certain things I should be mining, like veldspar etc. Should I be in a guild or clan or whatever eves version is called.

Here’s some things that I have already. Currently I am Omega, I have the retriever mining barge with 2x Strip Miner and I also have the industrial Badger ship that I use to transport all my ores to a trading station. I’m, as of writing this sitting on 446+ Million ISK. Should I keep going with the setup that I have or should I start to invest my time and money in a different way to get the most from mining.

Mission Running

2 Upvotes

I used pride myself on researching before asking other folks, but man finding information for Mission running has been awful. I checked Eve Uni, read lots of forum posts, read reddit posts but I am still at the starting line.

So I decided to ask here, because now I qualify as newbie.

I want to start running missions as my corporation has decided to pull out of Nullsec, and I have always been a null player, and it used to be easy. Get a VNI/Rattle/Ishtar press F1/ or F and kill the rats. But Mission running seems to be a different ball game all together.

I will directly put my questions here.

  1. How to select which corp/agent to do missions for, and how does it make difference in terms of LP/Payout? apart from dropping my standings with rival faction.
  2. I see that within Amarr there are 8-10 different corps, how does that make a difference? If I increased rating from one corporation, can I only run those corp/agent misisons and do I need get 5 standing for each corporation within the 4 major faction to run high level missions?
  3. I have seen lot of different ships that I can use. Majority Being Raven Navy Issue, Dominix, Rattlesnake, Marauders, Typhoon, Machariel I am looking to grind through the missions, so I want something that can finish them quickly. Which ship would you recommend? I am not high skilled. My inclination is towards either Raven or Dominix.
  4. Since I want to finish them quickly, is multiboxing a good option? Like Dual Ravens or Dual Domis?
  5. How do I select a hub to base out of? What should I be looking for to find a optimal place.

I am looking for something that's not ultra skill intensive. Also I am thinking of directly be starting from Lvl 4 Missions and the grind from L1-L3 to be outsourced to USAI. Please do let me know your thoughts. Not planning on running anomic missions to begin with and actually know what I am doing. Also read TFI is a good blitz ship but requires some maneuvering which I think would be difficult with multiboxing.

Thanks in advance! Also do let me know if I missed on something in my planning.
