>Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
If you have to ask, you can't do it.
>I just started, what should I do?
Do the Opportunities then find the Career Agents & run all of their missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp. The game is only as boring as you are.
>Is it too late to start playing EVE?
No.

hey guys there is a new /eog/ channel called Avada's Tears. y'all should check it out, this channel is more of a seriousfag channel, mostly talking about WH life, posting dank frags, and much more.
come chill with Tengoo guys and a few retarded memers like maquari (he behaves in that channel tho).
any way come check it out, kick back, and chillax with some v-bros. I'll catch ya on the flip side.

You don't need to be skilled out the ass
all you need is to fit meta 4 guns on some battleship, get 70%+ resists and 100k tank overall before links.
its barely 2 weeks of training in your racial battleship of choice
>>143915401
WARP TO ME
>>143915513
Is there a basic guide i can follow just to get started? All i know is that incursions give a fuckton of money and that they're sort of raide-esque events.

>Is there a basic guide i can follow just to get started?
Yes, thats also on WTM's website as well.
>>143915778
>>143915523
sorry, you are too stupid for incursions
>>143915778
nigga it's like missions except enemies are bullet sponges so you need logi. All you need to do is shoot who the FC tells you to shoot.

>>143916319
oh I forgot about my 80% EWAR resistance
5*0.2 = 1
1/343 = 0.29% chance of jamming me and they got it fucking twice
this ewar resistance shit especially against ECM is fucking dog shit
>>143916501
Remove ECM
Rename damps to ECM
Give Caldari anti-drone ewar
EVE is fixed
>>143916501
k no one cares
>>143916636
fuck yourself
ecm is fine
>>143916636
I'd rather just chance ECM to a jamming system that reduces the number of targets you can target that isn't based on RNG
>ecm is fine
>>143916684
>RNG is fine
you're fucking retarded, you could have 1000 sensor strength and RNG will still and always fuck you in EVE
>be in my titan
>a slasher comes by and scrams me
>it turns off my MWD, Jump Drive and portal generator
>a dinky little ship barely the size of my guns

So how do you see non-RNG jams?
1% chance of jamming means it jams you on first cycle and then 99 next cycles are guaranteed misses?
It would end up being exactly the same, except no miracle RNG jam fails.
You'd be soundly fucked against a prepared ecm fleet that can jam you on every cycle because they can get enough jammers to bring it up to 100%.
At least the way it is now, RNG is working in your favour.
why do stupid broke ass motherfuckers keep recommending incursions?
you nerds know that shit is poverty-tier income right?
>>143916830
yeah, rng is fine because how potent it is
>>143917298
name something better fora new player
oh wait, filtered
>>143917223
>1% chance of jamming means it jams you on first cycle and then 99 next cycles are guaranteed misses?
thats not how RNG works.
You flip two coins, each coin has a 1/2 chance of being heads
you don't always get heads then a tails or vice versa when you flip two coins, you could get heads-heads, heads-tails, or tails-heads, and if the order matters, tails-heads.
even with a 1% to jam you could get jammed on a fucking fluke and your targetting is disabled for 30 seconds
Remove ecm entirely.
>>143917435
>yeah, rng is fine because how potent it is
No thats fucking stupid, its entirely erroneous and no other EWAR relies on RNG
>>143917435
>name something better
first off incursions aren't for new players
secondly, faction warfare all day every day
or shit just buy plex and stop being a fucking pubbie trying to rat2riches
>>143917596
because other ewar isn't as potent as ecm
>>143917438
How about you don't skip the first sentence.
This was the non-RNG part. To make it a fixed jam/fail.
Which is a bad idea, as exemplified by the rest of the post.
>>143917641
>the cuck who spends irl money to literally blow it up is back
>>143917667
Thats not an argument, you're trying to force potency despite having nothing behind it.
ECM shouldn't work on RNG, its completely skillless and theres no application to it, it either jams or it doesn't Absolutely no guarantee
meanwhile with all the other EWAR, you are guaranteed a certain effect on a ship, 50% to lock range, target speed, tracking disruption etc
>>143917641
>2 weeks to get into
>not for new players
>>143917751
if i wasnt a neet i would spend money on this game all the time. its much better per hr.

>its completely skillless

>>143917824
>everyone can go fly a blaster rokh for wtm
>its a deal thats lasts forever! so easy!
>spending money on games
This isn't a mobile pewpew garbage.
>>143918025
There is no determinant with ECM, it jams or it doesn't jam
Every other ECM is guaranteed effect.
>>143918027
it is easy, in the time it takes you to train minimally into incursions you can do level 3's in a dinky cruiser and save money
>>143918148
yeah, and again, the difference is the potency
>>143918467
Potency isn't even an argument, you're just saying "potency" as if it means anything when it certainly doesn't
>>143918539
the whole argument around ecm is that its too fucking strong dipshit
>>143918627
No its not, it was never about strength it was about bullshit RNG
No one said anything about strength, you could have 1 jam strength and still jam a titan despite it having 500+ sensor strength regardless
>>143918757
>you could have 1 jam strength and still jam a titan despite it having 500+ sensor strength
>>143918627
god damn, looks like i'm right again
>>143918904
that has nothing to do with strength its about the fucking RNG you can't read for shit
>>143918904
>1 jam strength is STRONG
>despite it being about RNG
>no guys its all about strength it has nothing to do with RNG I swear

Reduce the size of FW zones
Have only a single constellation be contested every week. Players are pressed down to this zone, meaning nowhere to hide and plenty of targets. Both sides of the conflict have a staging system where they have a station with clone services.
Ensure more even fights
FW Plexes now have both a size limit and a numerical limit of ships. There exist solo plexes, small group plexes, and fleet plexes. Another change to plexes is that capturing a plex requires the player to be within a short distance and hits all players with an infini-point like a HIC. The plex also prevents targets from D-scanning in or out, so players never know what or who they'll be engaging.
Reduce refit/return time
Home stations within contested stations have a new service that allows players to purchase modular, pre-fit ships. The fitted modules can be chosen through a menu, and once the ship is purchased, the fittings cannot be removed without being destroyed, like rigs.
Ships can either be purchased with raw ISK or loyalty points. By doing faction warfare, most players, even ones on the losing side, should make enough loyalty points to cover replacement ships for rapid engagements.
Inclusion for non-combat players
In addition to rapid combat deployment, more industrial minded players also have an avanue to help their compatriots. New logistic corps exist and give players objectives to deliver goods to the current contested home station of their faction. For every item delivery order completed, the price of replacement ships for the faction's milita is reduced. Thus, guarding the logistic supply chain throughout the contested constellation's various zones becomes an activity of itself, with larger fleets hoping to guard valuable industrial vessels through space.
>>143921954
>join date
good one anon but i'm too salty an oldfag for that
>>143922030
In addition, high density asteroid fields regularly spawn within the constellation, guarded with a light faction navy presence, hostile to all players not in the militia or logistics corp which denies access to non-militia miners. The asteroids that spawn are extra dense versions of themselves (Resulting in faster overall mining) and include all types needed to build the modules and ships requested for drop off. In this way, the contested zone of FW becomes a complete ecosystem where minerals are mined and ships are built and destroyed, like a super compact version of New Eden.
Remove FW. Most people in the zone don't even belong to militia and are just there for fights.

mining is the backbone of eve economy i am insuly by fact that the player killers in this game would even dare to try to compare their unserious proffesion to the truly thinking mans life dream eve is the has beeen in the forefront of advanced simulation of market data and thanks to countles studies we all know that eve is the best game for this i think ccp should just remove shooting players all together it adds nothing to the game and just generates lost minerals instead we should all just keep building ships forver and make vast loads of them in order to have them this is what i did when i was in all-out but since they stole my medium gun machariel i realize they trylu do not share my dream thus i am also i think that we need to remove system security since concord do not respond in null when my svipul gets ganked by the noctis player using such a ship for a dirty job is truly not pallatable and i thunk u all should reconsider your careeers in eve but that is just my tought even thought i am right so just so you know so stop arguing and lets discuss the best mining setups for players with low amounts of isk okay guys but do not forget that i need some so please send in case i need it but i can t afford to pay back since i am poor and lose svipul in lowsec also do not ever stop mining my friends mining is truly the best i really enjoy it i think ccp needs to buff it rhough since i only earn 2 million isk per cycle can anyone help i think since it is clearly bugged i do not know what to do and i am kind of tired so do not come of as snarky or i will report u to the mdoeratos and they will ban you because i know them irl and know they hate you all sicne they are truly secret miners as well but i think yoi call know this since i essentially control this baord and do not ever forget this just so you know but anyway lets also kill white stag since they are so bad at the game i truly wish goosn would come back so i could use my main to farm guirsatas pirates in deklin.

They need something, faction frigates just out do them in almost every way, they dont have a use at the moment.

>>143925771
so just fix their stats so they aren't shitty. I don't want to see more meme modules or retarded bullshit immunities
alternatively just pretend they don't exist, and put a big warning for new players saying they're garbage and not to train for them. AFs being useless doesn't do much bad for the game. nerfing the overpowered stuff would be way more beneficial and easy
>>143925962
no but you are
>>143925771
they sure do have a use, T1 logi, T1 ewar and hell T1 dps frigs as a whole have a use purely because they're miles cheaper
>>143925994
Not arguing, they just need to be buffed in some way or given a useful role
>>143926274
its more faction frigs that outclass them often for cheaper
>>143925994
>nerfing the overpowered stuff would be way more beneficial and easy
No it wouldn't
The AF's haven't been touched in 6 years, the rest of the game moved forward and they stayed behind
repurposing and rebalancing AF's is miles easier than nerfing literally everything else. the AF's are such fucking garbage no one uses them, they have wonky stats and bonuses, hell the Wolf is fucking garbage and so is the jaguar. The only remotely useful ones are the harpy and ishkur and maybe the vengeance but the others are extremely lack luster. The Enyo despite all its tank has no fucking cap and is SLOW as garbage
>>143926471
>t1 frig
>a few hundred thousand isk plus a few million in fitting
>Faction frig
>17m for the hull, few million in fitting
>>143926501
AFs being effectively not in the game is not a massive problem. all it means is you can't fly AFs, and to be honest, you probably want them to make some kind of cancerous tanky all-T2 frigate gang with logistics frigates and be gay as fuck, so no big loss
svipuls killing everything all the time is a massive problem, because it prevents people from using most small ships
>>143926642
yeah then you have the AF thats 40m for the hull and worse than most faction frigs
>>143926771
uh, sorry 20m*
>>143926135
what
>>143926769
No, AF's need to be like heavy assault cruisers are to cruisers
they need to niche while not having stupid fucked up stats
They need to not be so fucking massive, they have this weird ass huge mass for no reason
they need to not have such fucking shit capacitor, the ishkur has less cap and half as much cap regen as a fucking tristan. Why? where does that make sense?
They need to not have such awful agility and speed, where does it make sense that it takes 5 seconds for a retribution to align to anything? thats before putting on a 400 plate.
>>143926771
AF's are 20-22m, same as T2 ewar frigs
>>143927010
what? heavy assault cruisers are not niche at all though. they're just an all-around improvement faggotry version of T1
>>143927109
No they aren't
the Sacrilege is a slow missile maller that can project missils up to 40km
the zealot is even slower than the regular
the omen as a long range beam platform
the vagabond is a fast and heavy shield tank that the fucking stabber or rupture wish it was
the muninn is a similar ship to a zealot as a long range artillery platform while not being fast either.
The Eagle is SUPER long range railguns fills the niche of a heavy railgun platofmr
the Cerb is a fast kiter that excels at super long range missiles.
Ishtar is a heavy drone specialist and the deimos is a hyper tanky brawler
Friendly reminder that the cost of losing a T2-fit platinum insured carrier is 137 million ISK at Jita prices right now
So is Reyni Mandelore's slut then?
>>143927437
ok so some of them are probably slightly slower, fine
they're still generalist combat ships though, and none of their T1 versions are better than them in any situation. having a load of range bonuses doesn't mean you're somehow worse when you aren't doing massive sniping. you can load antimatter in an eagle
do you have to enlist in fw to do fw missions? i would assume so but i dunno
also do you get paid more for doing missions in contested/unowned space or is there no mechanic like that
>>143925364
I think they're fine as high speed, low sig tough frigates. It's just right now they're not as great at avoiding larger fire as they should be and smaller ships are more popular than large for PvP anyway, meaning that they don't really get to take advantage of their bonus.
The biggest buff to AF would be larger ships being more viable in small gangs, or perhaps a reduction to drone damage taken.
>>143927874
a long range eagle will never engage at less than 40km because railgun tracking
>>143927921

that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. do you think rail moa fleets have to use iron all the time and stay really really far away from everything
do you think battleships just self-destruct all the time because nobody can hit anything

Highsec should have current local. Concord carefully keeps track of every ship in space they control and puts the list of local pilots in an easily accessible place.
Lowsec should have delayed local, where someone sitting system having come in through a gate is put into local after 5 minutes until they leave. Those entering a lowsec system through a wormhole are not displayed on local until they use a gate and sit in a system for 5 minutes.
Nullsec should have upgradeable sov structures that create a delayed or highsec-like local, depending on how much you want to invest into the system.
This honestly should have been done a decade ago, but all of K-space is for carebears with local in it's current implementation and it needs to be adjusted
>>143935270
that seems pretty cool at first glance, but i haven't thought through the implications yet. presumably wormhole would just have no ability to be upgraded from their current behavior?

except that makes no sense, you shit-for-brains.
>>143936810
ill just be honest for a moment. right now im just a high sec mission runner that doesnt know much about eve, so i dont really know how things need to be balanced out in unconcord. but i do love pvp, and ill go out there one of these days.
it allows me to give an unbiased view, but i dont know enough to say anything specific. speaking generally, i always thought the idea of local chats in a big game where location and knowlege matters a lot would be a bad idea in the first place. im surprised they actually didnt think about this from the beginning and work things around that.

>>143937071

Stop. You're falling into the biggest trap in EVE. New players think "I haven't got [STUFF] so I'll stay in Highsec until I get it".
Then when they have [STUFF] they think "Well I don't want to lose my [STUFF]" so they never leave High sec.
You want to get into Lowsec? Pick a system in a space you like, take a few T1 frigates and Cruisers there, and learn to live without all the high sec conveniences.
>>143937232
the game doesn't favor attackers. At the end of the day you are a miner who knows jack shit about how the game works, you have no position to talk. I suggest you be quiet while adults are speaking, son.
>>143937071
basically if you want to have enjoyable pvp, avoid lowsec like the plague and only do small gang in null
>>143937351
actually im aware of it. i just came back from quitting in 2009 because i got two friends to (hopefully) play with. im waiting for them to get some basic skills and then off we go

oh, thanks for the advice. could you explain why? just curious. lowsec much more populated?

>>143936952
>>143937339
let's see if i can clear this up
the original here >>143936317 said a thing.
this guy >>143936810 agrees with the post he quoted, but he's rephrasing half of it to make the wormbears sound like shit eating cowards who are afraid of pvp
I, here, >>143936886 also agree with the orginal post, but I am rephrasing the other half of it to make the nullbears sound like shit eating cowards who are afraid of pvp. The point of my post is to highlight the purpose of the guy who hates wormholers.
to rephrase my post with less pronouns, the people who want local to stay in null are the carebears who want to be able to pos up when neuts enter system.
>to rephrase my post with less pronouns, the people who want local to stay in null are the carebears who want to be able to pos up when neuts enter system.
this is why local needs to be gone
>>143937815
>the people who want local to stay in null are the carebears who want to be able to pos up when neuts enter system
Nigga pls. Not everybody is out there looking for fights. If I'm not in a combat shit or in a ratting ship it's obvious I want to hide.
cant miners just spam dscan anyway?
>>143938006
>Not everybody is out there looking for fights.
in this game you are either the prey or the predator, there is no "PvE only server".
Don't want to get killed? go play elite dangerous
>>143938006
I should also add that people are dying anyway, local or not. So idk what are you complaining about.
>>143938006
>If I'm not in a combat shit
If you're not in a combat ship you should be fit so that you can get away.
>or in a ratting ship
Are you for fucking real?
>>143938006
of course. no one said otherwise.
i think the purpose underlying the idea of more limited intel from local is to force people to be more prepared for hostile action. for instance, both hisec and lowsec incursions are run - but the fits are very different, because in losec the fleets know they have to be prepared to defend themselves. Your ratting fit would change if you were in an alliance without the infrastructure to put up instant local structures.
>>143938068
you are correct, and that is why wormholers are so scornful of null players. "why do they cry so hard at the thought of removing local? we've been getting along fine with only dscan" they say.
it's not a complete equivalence, though, because in null the map topology never changes.
>>143938130
Just like you are "entitled" to kill me. I'm entitled to hide.
>>143938192
warpstabs are shit and instalockers exist
>ratting ship
Wow people do pve in this game. What a surprise.
>>143938250
Lowsec incursion are a fleet op. entirely differrent from solo pve. And if I wanted to fit a ship for both it's often some hybrid that won't work for any situation.
Refitting in depot might work, but the attacker can scan your depot first and wait for you there or if you deply it in site you might not have enough time to refit before they arrive.
>>143932771
minmatar all they do is weapon tracking disrupt
you won't be able to do L4s on a solo bonber anymore tho, they recently added some new frigs that insta web with very long range
>>143938485
if you are not already aligned while you are jewing it up you deserve to die. Don't use local as a crutch to be safe.
>>143938485
im sorry but, i was on your side in the beginning, and now im on their side. dscan exists.
however, maybe dscan should have the option to auto update. i feel like this is something that was probably discussed before and rejected. maybe make it a module or something?
>>143938485
bruh
I'm not saying the new ratting fits you would probably use if there were no local in null would be the same isk/hr as before. That would be silly. But I do know that i'm perfectly willing to risk two 600m ratting ships in wormholes with no local.
>inb4 crit holes
nah, three open connections are fine. dscan, align, and mjd are all great tools.
>>143938729
>aligned
Not every ship sits in once place aligned.
>>143938786
Recons and cloaks exists. also a lot of systems are bigger than dscan range.
>>143938818
>dscan, align, and mjd are all great tools.
>Started playing 2 days ago
>Trying to make some cash, someone suggest wormhole Data/Relic sites
>Get in

>As I'm opening the can some asshole in an invisible ship appears next to me and kills my Heron then pods me
At least I was only a 600k isk kill lol
another thing to consider when reading >>143938485's arguments (why the fuck are you making me mention these things in your defense?) is that blops are thing that ratters in kspace have to worry about that people in wormholes don't.

no shit Sherlock
you are either an extremely new player, in which case, why are you arguing with vets about shit they know more than you about?
Or you must be legitimately retarded.
>>143938932
>Recons and cloaks exists. also a lot of systems are bigger than dscan range.
i know that. but a cloak ships purpose is to not be seen. if an unseen is known about, hes not very unseen. if cloak ships are too overpowered after local is removed, you would then nerf cloaking.
about dscan range, perhaps we can simply buff it, or make it a module that will buff it, or make it a module completely that will always have a very strong scan range, and even update automatically. theres tons of things we can do.
>>143935270
>all of K-space is for carebears
>implying w-space isn't also filled with carebears
>>143939029
people need to scan down explo sites, that's one more barrier inbetween you and the hunter. Also most ships have a 6 second locking reactivation after decloaking, which if you fit your explorer right, should be able to warp out as soon as he decloacks.
so really, it's on you for not playing attention.
>>143939029
there are many things that you could probably have done to avoid that death which you probably didn't do because you are a new player and haven't learned them yet.
>were there force fields in that wormhole?
>if there were, did they belong to hunting corps or carebear corps? (hard to determine without a covops cloak, admittedly)
>did the wormhole have a hisec static?
>how far from a tradehub was the entrance to the chain?
>how far into the chain were you?
>were there any missing cans in the site?
etc
I'm not saying you're bad, just that there are things that can be learned and performed to help reduce risks besides relying on local (since you posted in a comment chain discussing local)
>>143939454
It was an empty C3 with a C4 static according to Dotlan. Admittedly I never thought about how far from a hub it was, I found a hole to the C4 3 jumps out of Amarr then scanned down the C3 connection.
Was a decent learning experience anyway.
>>143939745
just dont take it hard, realize you made mistakes, become ever the wiser and youre on the way to becoming one of the better personality eve players
>>143939745
sounds like you're doing some right things m8 keep it up
>>143939141
I mean that ships move/orbit around the site.
>>143939918
you know that, the guy you're responding to knows that, i know that
what none of us know is how that supports your argument.
maybe your point is that some ratting ships, like the classical newbro null ratting oversized prop VNI, can't sit in place aligned and ready to warp out if there were no local and suddenly a stratios decloaks on grid with them.
>>143937232
>wah we ONLY have dscan and local, local being 100% perfect intel of who is in the system, and in neighboring systems, with no delay, at all times
You're just a retard if you're going to afk mine somewhere in low/high, or do it solo. Intel channels exist and are pure cancer. This is less about dunking miners and more about your small gang being constantly monitored and eventually sat on by nullblob babies
>>143938006
As someone else already said, there is no PVE server. If you are undocking, you are entering into PVP space, and should prepare accordingly. I rat and mine just fine in wormhole space because I can use dscan, and can get better intel than dscan if I put in effort or get more friends involved and in the space we want scouted.
>mfw omen
>mfw beams
>mfw top damage
all i know is that there is a ton of reasons to get rid of local, and the only real drawback, and emphasis on the word real, is that cloak ships might be too easy to get away with shit in after that. but putting local back just for that would be silly.
instead it would be time to just nerf cloaking, like i said was a possibility before. there are many ways to do this.
>>143939192
or you can get friends who can scout gates for you, you already get the benefit of gates not being different every day
>>143941232
i mean, i agree, but you have to rule out friends here. this guy that loves local obviously has no friends, or this is exactly what he would have done before.
maybe he should actually use local for once to find some before we take it away.
>>143941105
>top damage
link?
>>143941439
There is literally no reason to join corps or having friends in this game.
>>143941439
Maybe he doesn't realize just how awful local is because he has no friends, so he doesn't know that intel channels exist to notify carebears when someone with a green KB jumps into a pipe 20 jumps from them

>>143949015
the problem with joining a player corp is that you, then, become responsible for making content for other people. It's a huge pain in the ass. I'd rather solo and just do whatever the fuck I want without having to also please some jackass who can't find his own content.
