Let's be honest, the EVE new-player experience IS awful. Just don't get into the missioning, ratting and mining thinking those are be-all and end-all of EVE. They're not. Save up some cash and do your level best to get into a 0.0 corp and get SOME kind of equity stake in the player-run EVE universe.

That tutorial stuff is pretty weird. Usually it works fine, no bugs. Must have been related to the server problems.

Fairly confident that it's related to the ISP maintenance problems they warned about. The disconnect/reconnect sounds exactly like what was happening to me lastnight.

did they ever fix the 1 veldspar per roid problem?

Vorph · 04-27-2007, 01:22 PM

I've been thinking about starting up EVE again. I only played for something like 2 months the last time, so I'm curious if a new post-Revelations character is going to have more SPs than I gained through training on my own back then? I was busy and didn't really play the game much, but I was pretty good about keeping the training going all the time.

If you played for 2 months, probably not. The new characters start with 800,000 SP now, which is sure plenty for a newbie, but it's only about a month worth of training.

So long as you didnt fuck your stats or anything on the first char.

No. I got my brother started a few days ago, and he got pissed because he was only getting one. I told him to warp to an asteroid belt, and that passed fine for him.

Definetly something that needs fixing.

Eheh, just out of curiosity, is your brother older or younger? For some reason I have this image of a 20+yr old whipping a poor 12yr old into mining veld for 'the cause'!!! Slavery at it's finest ;P

Hehe, nah, he's two years my younger, we're both in our early 20s. I got him into Eve because he's a BIG group player, and WoW wasn't group/community oriented enough after two years of smashing face into the blizzard design wall.

So, after Battleships where should a mission-runner go once they have some cash? I'm not all 'leet' or such, but with what I understand about the upcoming changes to missions that move them into lower-sec and make them harder, anyone recommend a good path to follow post domi/mega/hyp for a Gallente?

Manticore · 04-28-2007, 04:52 AM

the next step up in mission running/ratting would be carriers imo, if you're in a 0.0 corp they should be able to give you a new direction to train into, usually EWar, Interceptors, Interdictors, Cov Ops, Recons, AF or Command Ships are still in good demand

after BS (and assuming you have all needed support skills) you either choose to go for capitals or specialise into T2 ships, there is no straight route to go like you did at the start with frigates->cruiser->battlecruiser->battleship

Well, the obvious answer is carriers, but thats a long road. Go pewpew some people to pass the time.

People actually use AFs in PvP? I was under the impression that they were all getting large boosts because they generally sucked.
