You'll pick it up; pretty soon you'll be scanning down your own confused targets and showing them your new-found experience at the helm.

Just lost my rifter due to an 'intel-hiccup'. *facepalm*
Two assault frigates from the same corp do not fight one another.

Had quite the short skirmish earlier versus a Thorax (a gallente cruiser of great reknown), I was sorely outclassed in my rifter but I did manage to pull away just before I was vaporized by a squad of Valkyrie IIs. (I think in my ignorance I forgot to turn on my afterburner which is why I got torn up by medium drones?)
Survived with 1/3rd hull remaining on the ship, with a corp mate arriving just in time to bail me out.

I have to admit my heart was about to fucking burst from adrenaline in that battle.

I were out roaming with 10 alliance members yesternight when we found a comparably sized gatecamp we decided to attack. When we entered the scene they escaped. We started killing their bubbles then prepared to leave when one of our scouts engaged a battleship on another gate in the same system. We quickly warped to his aid killed the BS and they started pouring in with reinforcements. Our FC decided to run.

I tried overloading my Deimos to get out of warp disrupt range, but the bastards kept draining my cap. Got shot up. Lost a 150 million ISK ship, but it was a good fight. Nothing like EVE.

On the last mission from the first Mission Chain you get after the Tutorial now (killing Wolf). Very enjoyable so far. Any recommendations on what kinda Ship i should get next? Got the Atron (i think) now, the one you get after the 2nd Mission. Railguns are friggin nice aswell, but i need a bigger Ship first, they require a lot of CPU Power Wink

I rolled a trial account for giggles earlier and ive been in atron with 2 rails or 2 blasters for a long time now, no deaths,, im currently past that wolf tutorial thing and on the new epic arc missions for sistsers of eve.. atron is a good ship, if u want to have some giggles, aim for training the Taranis interceptor sometime (atrons bigger brother) and you can have some fun hulk killing in that running circles around the mining barges...

Moving to blaster for now, the 150MM Railguns are insanely nice, but 40 Shots only? Ran out of ammo in the last Tutorial Mission, just glad that Ammo is cheap. Since the Rookie Chan is currently overcrowded with Gold Spammers and just too many People, i hope someone can answer me two things that i couldnt find any Info about in the Wiki Razz

Im playing for Gallante, should i join the Navy? I saw that they get some kinda special Ships and Equipment, so they get Missions aswell or is that the first step to Faction PvP? (Which i try to avoid for now till i found a good Setup)


Any Way to increase the Ammo-Capacity for certain Weapons? The bigger Railguns are nice, but seriously lack in Ammo.

Guess im gonna get myself a full Account next Month, so if anyone needs a new Member for his Corp.....Smile

AFAIK the navies are for RvR warfare. So if you don't want to PvP yet, I would say don't join.

As for ammo, well, buy a few thousand raounds and you're set. They take up insanely little amount of cargo space and are just as cheap. Reloading gun supposed to be quite fast so with enough rounds, you can easily do several missions before you would need to restock.

Oh getting the Ammo aint the Issue, but the 150MMs only hold 40 Rounds each, and i dont think you can reload them if you have the Ammo in your Cargo?

Err, yes you can. You're able to set the thing to auto-reaload so you don't have to do it manually, heck, you can even swap ammo types mid-combat if you have to deal with multiple faction ships. Just right click on the weapon's icon and you'll get all the necessary options. The game is wonderfully complex. Smile

Where do I get this so called chain mission to kill Wolf? Also, the new system is awkward. I started a new game, and I couldn't choose my attributes or starting skills or anything. Also, not having 800k in SP at the start is heartbreaking Sad Though the 100% learning rate is nice, I do like it this way more, but it took awhile to get used to.

Here's the thing, I did the beginning tutorial (even though I knew how to fly and how to dock and shit, the free skill books were nice). That led me to a station with a tutorial agent that offered 2 missions. Then I went back and did the Military 10 mission chain netting a few more books and ships. I skipped the other two, as the first mining mission looked boring and the courier ones are just duuuuuullllll. They probably give you more skills though so I should probably do them, right?

After all that, I got sent to a lvl 1 ql -11 agent and I've just been doing missions for him. I guess I'm out of the tutorial now? Do I get more storyline missions later as my standings go up? Will story agents contact me or do I have to go find them?

Last but not least, is there an nForce in game chat channel?


i can has computar?!

This new skill system is pretty neat.

It seems that every character gets 2 attribute respec option at start. Obviously a max INT and MEM will give a consierable boost to the learning skills so they can be dealt with much more quickly than before. After they are done, we can spec towards the path we want the character to take.

Really handy...

Its ok i tested it out earlier and said 2 times remaining.,., i altered my stats only by 2 or so somewhere and bam I now have no more to use Smile Im wondering if 2 times means 2 diff skills to change lol.. No biggie the allowable changes are minimum when ur really young in the game.. stats are pretty much even for me across the board all but charm or whatever that last one was, never remember it lol not even after 4 years with eve lol.

I altered much more than 2 points and I still have one use (it says "NOW" which means I can alter it...well...now).

It seems that every character gets a respec every 12 months so not even a completely screwed up build is hopless. I'm really glad they didn't choose to go with the retarded item-shop approach with this one.

I wonder if old characters got their respective respecs for their years of playing.

New creations get two complete remaps. The only restriction is you have to have a minimum of 5 attribute points in each category, otherwise, you can remap the character entirely.

My 2004 character only had one remap.

Yep, old characters get no special benefits. It is assumed that the people owning them actually have a clue, whereas new people will screw up.

I prefer an Incursus. 3 turret slots fitted with 125mm Blasters. The 150mm take just a bit too much CPU, esp when stuffing in the rest of my fitting. Did me a lot of good and managed to tackle all missions (mostly) easily.

Have barely been able to play anything for the last three days, EVE included. Oh well, back to bed. -_-

Same here. Sad

About the game - sounds like this is the best MMO out there. Gonna try it soon when I have enough time and nothing else to play. (:

Just got my Thorax. It's a nice boat but, despite the fact that it's ugly as hell, I think I'll switch to a battlecruiser soon. Not much extra training and a lot more tank and fitting space.

Join a PVP corp and they'll most likely take you to skirmishes. Lone wolves are easy pickings, you'll never experience the real PVP without a decent group to back you up. Until then, you'll always get blown out of your capsule because others are always hunting in groups.

I agree but a BS is fairly attainable with a minimum of training. It'll take a bloody age before I can fly a HAC. I will tho, BSes are just a nice mission boat in between Smile
