FoH guide to EVE Online - Page 14

Find a pvp corp in 0.0 that accepts new pilots around the time you have a million SP on top of your learning skills. It is highly probable that they will suck. Fit cheap ships and cheap mods. Get blown up (a lot). Swarm stuff, get used to fleet combat. Blow up stuff in turn. Keep a notebook entry on corps that impressed you and look them up. Don't get stuck in the rut of mission running in empire all day while waiting for your character to be "primed" for the really fun stuff.

EvE isn't a game of digits. It's a game of people. The easiest way to advance in any arena of people is to become exposed.

I'm helping people along in empire. I'm no Eve-University or anything, but I got a couple of friends to play the game and we're all fairly new (I'm only six months old)

I have a friend that is in VI so there is a road to 0.0 if you want it. I'm in the FOH channel (although I never speak) my chars names are Soggybottom and Gaius Capua.

If you're just starting out in the game and want a group of guys you can hang out or someone to chat with as you do mundane activities. Drop me a line.

If anyone is interested in seeing a high res copy of the video they show for the introduction, it's named Eve never fades. You can find it in the videos section of the Eve-O website.

Anyone heard any updated info if Kali is still coming out on the 28th? Got enough money and skill books to pass onto my new main, just waiting on the big day now.

Tirinal · 11-23-2006, 09:34 PM

Yeah, it was confirmend in Tux's latest devblog.

Hachima · 11-23-2006, 10:05 PM

I glanced over the guides here and I didn't notice any mention of insta jumps. Are they still used or are they a thing of the past? I remember having 100s of way points stored for use with instant jumping through systems and were pretty mandatory for 0.0 spec travel.

Wildstone · 11-23-2006, 11:03 PM

I heard that Dev's disliked instas, so in the latest expansion you can "warp to 0km", effectively destroying the point of instas. Could be hyperbole though.

On a different note, is there a more efficient way of hunting rats? I just go from .7/.8 system and check every asteroid field. Usually get one rat per every 2-3 fields I check.

Wodin · 11-23-2006, 11:22 PM

No, instas were bending the server over and assraping it because you need them to function in 0.0 these days. I'm a relatively young player, and I've got about twenty thousand bookmarks. Every time I jump into a system, it searches the entire library of bookmarks for the relevant ones to put in the right-click menu of the UI.

So with Kali any bookmark within 50km of a celestial object will be deleted and warp to 0 is in.

As far as ratting, go to a 0.5 system.

Hachima · 11-23-2006, 11:37 PM

That sounds like a nice change. I've been thinking of trying EVE again. I had 5 mil SP or so when I stopped playing but I think I'm going to have to relearn the game again.

Quick semi-noob question for you all.

I'm currently flying a rifter and having fun getting to grips with PVP in low sec. I think I'd like to aim towards flying a frigate class ship as a scout/tackler for a PVP corp at some point, should I head towards Interceptors or AF's?

Which is more verstaile and which is better in solo (1 vs 1) pvp ?

Cheers

Itzena · 11-24-2006, 06:27 AM

AF are more versatile; however, they're also more expensive and need more skills to fly effectively.

Fucking finally. I hated the whole insta bookmark thing. I can totally understand why they had the system of only being able to warp with 15km of objects, but the ability to simply set a bookmark 15km past was a huge gaping oversight, one that totally fucked with the very fundamental aspects of the game.

I'll have to look into this further, but how exactly are people going to be able to gate camp now that people pop in on top of jump gates etc?

Camping traffic coming through the gate you're sitting at is still the same, only the incoming traffic from another gate in the system changes really. CCP has also mentioned contemplating allowing dictor's to function in low sec similar to 0.0.
