I know there have been several eve threads, and I am sorry to make a new one. I just have a few things to say.
Could everyone who plays eve or wants to get started in eve please post here with your in game screen name.
Also, all PSU members that play Eve should have the PSU chat channel open at all times. To do this, go to the channel tab on on the menu bar on the right. Search for PSU and join the channel.
If you are in need of an excelent corp (clan) the unofficial PSU corp is Xaeon Traders and Miners. Me, Rayder and Darksim are all members and I belive a few other PSU members have applied. To join go to the otalieto system and dock at the bottom station on the list. Find the clan under the offices tab and click apply.
Btw, if you want to try eve, go to mmorpg.com. There is a free trial.... somewhere on that site.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I almost forgot.
Limited time offer: All PSU members who join eve will get one free condor (or ship of similar value) and 20 thousand ISK ($$). To receive, contact me in game under the name Jaged and bitch untill you get your stuff. Offer valid until I say it ends.
Edit2: If the stars align correctly and I feel nice. You may get a better ship like a kestrel or merlin. I fly a merlin, and Rayder flys a Kestrel. They are good ships. If I do give you a better ship there is no 20 thousand bucks involved though. (This is still a far better deal.)

The Condor sucks! I suggest insuring it with all you have, getting a clone that covers all your skills, and then getting raped by a bunch of pirates.

Alright, you've sucked me into this little deal. I'll try the free trial.
Jaged
2004-07-04, 06:37 AM
yeah condors blow, but I cant buy everyone megathrons can I?
Condors are still better then the POS ship you get at the start. They are not bad for noobs.
Edit: I changed the deal a little bit.
Rayder
2004-07-04, 06:40 AM
Meh, my plan gets you money for a new ship + skills and/or mods.

Dreadnaughts? WTF when were they announced?
Well they aren't official yet, but should hear soon when they can be expected.
Methinks CCP would like to get the current Castor thing working 'right' though.
Destroyers and Battlecruisers are definately in though, and we should see the rest of the Elite Frigates and some Elite Cruisers. As well as the Tier 4s and some new ships in what we already have...
Dunno the latest on all this yet though.

The free trials are free, otherwise it's 15 USD or 15 euro/pound or whatever the hell they use. Gamecards are totally gay though, for 30 bucks you can get a subscription for 60 days, and for 30 bucks you can get a gamecard for 50.

Dude, I am not rich in game. I have only been playing for a week. And the Corp is awsome. It has just started and is kindof small, but we are growing rapidly. All the players are really nice. There is a good mix of hig level players and lower lvl player. Pluss you get to play with alot of PSU people. Give us a try.

Well... god knows I wanna play with yas... but it doesn't look like thats going to happen for a while... atleast 4 weeks. EVE no likey me sound card...
EDIT: EVE UPDATE: SOMETHING GOOD FOR ALL PSU EVE PLAYERS! Luck pending...
Well... I have refound my old EVE account, and luckily both of my characters are there and well... the only problem is that I don't know whats on them... for all I know i decided to get generous when I left the game ( :scared: ) and gave my megathron away... I should still have the money though... maybe... although I did say i would never return to EVE so it was a waste of 100,000,000 ISK.
Anyway... I am working on a oneday only deal (depending on wether or not I still have the cash and such)... tomorrow beginning at 12 noon EST (5PM GMT, 9AM PST) I shall be being generous to my PSU buddies... any PSU member that comes to me seeking aid (Financially) shall receive it so long as the money is going towards a frigate... established EVE players shalnt apply...
note: There is also a 'specialer' deal in the works for certain 'special' people...

And yeah I bought them Condors, thats the only other frig they can USE right now and it gets them out of a newbie ship! If I was rich I'd STILL be buying them Condor ships! Ok so cool your heels. Christ. I'm in-game helping ppl out as best I can. I myself don't even have a cruiser yet!

Does anyone understand the EVE gamecard dealie? It says that when activated, 20 days get deducted from the initial amount that the gamecard holds. Does this mean that you only get 30 days of playing time from a 50-day gamecard? Or do you get the full 50, but the first 20 are "free?"
Hezzy

*Yawn* Don't try to get me interested in EVE again. Don't waste my time.
Darksim
2004-07-05, 06:12 AM
That when you make a new account, 20 days are deducted because its like your "Buying" the game. After that its 50 and 100 day. But they deduct days off when you first make accnt.
Rayder
2004-07-05, 06:13 AM
Sooooo, I lose 20 days even though I already have an account, and buying the game and getting the 30 days for 10 bucks less would be cheaper?
Also, Hezzy, when the 2nd of November rolls around, you're going to be opening some mail containing a box of poisonous scorpions.

2004-07-05, 09:09 AM
It's just like planetside where you have to buy the game to get a full account. However, if you buy it with a credit card you get 30 days free.... which means you end up buying EVE for less than a tenner.
Rayder
2004-07-05, 10:08 AM
But the whole -20 days thing is fucking stupid. Do we get 30 or 50 days from the 50-day card? Because if it's the former, then I'm just buying a 3-month subscription.

Baneblade
2004-07-05, 12:43 PM
I think the whole gamecard deal is because CCP doesn't directly have anything to do with it...it is supposed to be a 'universal' gamecard.
Anyway, I would reccommend PayByCash if you have a bank account and no credit card.

i am caanan and i fly a thorax atm, but ive go the isk for a a megathron and will be buying one soon, so ill see you guys in empire, btw where is everyone based?
im in xetic space which is the far bottom right corner of the map
god damn downtime
btw for all you newcomers i suggest training all your learning skills to decent levels so that your skills train faster, you'll have to buy some at a university or something, check the market
for quick money when starting out agent missions are best, you dont get much but after you have a couple hundred thousand isk get a good frigate
i guess you can keep doing agent missions, the kill ones are a bit fun but you need more than a frigate, but to get some shit join a good corp and theyll help you out

i am caanan and i fly a thorax atm, but ive go the isk for a a megathron and will be buying one soon, so ill see you guys in empire, btw where is everyone based?
im in xetic space which is the far bottom right corner of the map
god damn downtime
btw for all you newcomers i suggest training all your learning skills to decent levels so that your skills train faster, you'll have to buy some at a university or something, check the market
for quick money when starting out agent missions are best, you dont get much but after you have a couple hundred thousand isk get a good frigate
i guess you can keep doing agent missions, the kill ones are a bit fun but you need more than a frigate, but to get some shit join a good corp and theyll help you out
however the quickest way to make money in mine in alliance space mining for the rare expensive asteroids, I can make 60 mil in a good day of mining
Ja... I would take them out to allaince space... but theres that in between factor and I can't hold off to many m0o people... and then there's the mining rights thing...
And the megathron is a great ship... you'll love it, I garuntee that you will love the thing... I miss mine... :(

Open map, search for where you wanna go, set destination, turn on auto pilot, go to work :)
Lartnev
2004-07-06, 12:12 PM
I could have sworn that's all in the tutorial.
But yeah, search for the place you want to go to, right click on it and chose "set destination", come out of the map, at the bottom left corner of your info display is a yellow button, this is the autopilot. Press it and it will take you where you need to go.
Be warned that if someone targets you, autopilot will be disabled.

But yeah, pirates can hang around jumpgates and as I've said earlier, if ANYTHING targets you, your autopilot WILL TURN OFF. So be careful if you're stepping into 0.6 space and below. (0.8 and 0.7 tend to have a heavy concord presence around the jumpgates).

woa dude.A battle ship? jesus your a freaking beast lol.Also anyway to elarn skills faster? I heard you gotta buy learning things but i dont know how.plz clarify
Neon Apocalypse
2004-07-07, 06:52 PM
ok to learn faster
each skill fits into a category
each category has an attribute
your character has attributes
the higher an attribute is, the faster the skills in the category that has that attribute will train
to train faster you simply need to make your attribute higher, there are two ways to do this
you can get implants and install them, they make your attributes higher, but you need science level 3 and cybernetics level 1 trained, plus implants are expensive
the other way is to train learning skills, learning is the category name, you have to buy these skills, they are learning(actual skill name) reduces) 2% of all skill learning, empathy makes charisma attribute higher, spatial awareness makes perception attribute higher, iron will makes willpower higher, analytical mind makes intelligence higher, instant recall makes memory higher
each time you train these except for learning they make their attribute go up 1 point
Rayder
2004-07-07, 07:29 PM
You also have the option of choosing which attributes are higher than the others at the start if you choose to make your own build. Also, if you choose to make your own, you can give yourself far more starting skills than normal, at the cost of skill levels, which isn't a bad tradeoff at all.

to become a pirate you need to play for atleast 3 months to get your skills and decent ship up
but i think that the devs are trying to change the game so that newer players can get into pvp by making each ship type on work on itself, battleships can only do major damage and hits on other battleships, but go hunting with infernus and eine its fun

I won't even pretend I gave this game a fair shot. Played through the tutorial and a little beyond, maybe 90 minutes in all. I don't even see potential for it being fun. The lack of control, the interface which I loathed, the fact that the tutorial doesn't even hint towards fun things later on in the game, just an overall ugh. My gaming time is way too scarce lately to keep trying a game and hope that it gets fun later.

Yeah I don't like that.
Alot of people buy other accounts so they have more than 1 character, and theres a way to run two eves at a time so you could control them both as a window.
Its handy in mining. You have a char mining, and another hauling.

Multi-boxing is a technique well versed in the MMORPG world. Personally I think it defies the whole point of the game but some people just like being alone.
Although 3 would be better, 1 mining, 1 protecting and 1 hauling :)

Basic Mining drones aren't really much, but they're good for learning the basics of using drones and will teach you to pick them up before you warp instead of leaving more valuable combat drones behind later :)

Now C4 is hiding out with CA and stain and xif are about to over run them... see what happens when i make investments... they start to lose...
Neon Apocalypse
2004-07-10, 09:43 PM
ill tell you exactly why CA is failing
first of all XIF are called carebears, they think that we are more intent on saving ships rather than advancing
we kill their ships not many tho, but enough
eventually CA lose ships due to hit and run mission, their mining ops are disrupted and they can't rebuild ships fast enough, and we kill faster than they can replace, but only by a small margin
since XIF was intent on saving ships at the beginning of the war, our losses don't add up as much and we are still standing while they are rebuilding, this allows us to roam free and keep attacking CA
the carebear strategy pays off
during all this SA comes and backs up XIF in large offensives and CA is taking heavy losses
eventually CA will dwell in empire, our ships that log off in deep CA just sitting there and the lines are getting pushed for them to come out
CA haven't pushed pass immensea in 2 months
