You're out of date, actually. The newbie agent (the one the tutorial agent points you to) actually has a really awesome series of newbie missions now, and as rewards he'll give you useful skillbooks and a real frigate, among other things.

The foh channel is nice - so far we've avoided eve-drama.

Since Frigate L3 takes about a day I've got that going while I sleep, then switching to shorter skills during the day. =D

I schedule my training around life. there was this one point where I had like 6 skills that were 4 hour skills and no time to train them up so I had to stick with 8 hour+ skills (working, nights out, sleeping). sucked having to wait, but I'm not going to let any time go to waste!

backseat handjobs ftw.

I do the same thing when it comes to skills, I slowly grind away at long ones while im asleep, but when im gonna be around to set a new one, I get the short ones trained. working on drone skills now.

Oh man it is good times being a newbie and having all those short skills to train. It's ultimate instant-gratification when you spend fifteen minutes and hey, you're 5% faster! 5% more cap! 10% missle range! 5% damage!

Now I have to wait five days...then 3% extra something. 5 days...then a prereq for a skill I want later.

15 fucking days for astrogeology V is liquid ass.

Friendly reminder that despite the talk of the big dawgs and their capital armadas and such, there's still plenty of action to be had when you're piloting a battleship or less:

Come to Syndicate, All are welcome!

gavinrad · 04-16-2007, 08:28 AM

colored dots are ship losses right?

looks pretty vicious down there.

Kazgrim · 04-16-2007, 08:48 AM

that was ships lost in the last 24 hours. ships lost in the last 1 hour and pods killed in last 1 hour was even more vicious but you couldn't see half the universe since most 0.0 wasn't even lit up at all.
that big red dot is from a single system btw:

Lorrac · 04-16-2007, 09:32 AM

Syndicate is the hellhole of EVE.

If a place in the EVE map merits the "here be dragons" tag, that'd be it.

Kazgrim · 04-16-2007, 09:54 AM

and by hellhole Lorrac means, "come on in, the water is fine."

There's a certain honesty to life in syndicate, where someone trying to pod you is just their way of saying hello, where the concept of having to go look for pvp action is a strange and foreign concept, where POSes mean nothing to territory control and all that matters is your guy's ability to kill the other guys.

Hehe, that was my Alliances doing in Syndicate. BruCE (Brutally Clever Empire) holds that area and OSS launched a major attack to fuck with them.

I wasn't there, but it was 90+ players on both sides duking it out and Bruce brought in Carriers. OSS hesitance to bring in their own caps is aggravating, but it sounds like OSS killed more then they lost, but as it was Bruce territory they kept getting new ships and held the field.

It's nice to see the Eve universe is big enough that it doesn't entirely revolve around Alliance versus Coalition.

I'm digging my time in Syndicate, good place for newbs to learn 0.0 as well (despite the npc stations).

Larion · 04-16-2007, 10:03 AM

Not everything is about the coalition vs alliance anyways. We are currently "saving venal" from npcers and "D² resisdents" and it is quite fun. Although the ammount of resistance is rather ridiculous =)
