FoH guide to EVE Online

so 8x6x7=336mill of passive income a month.

Which is OK, but an invention character is going to make 10-20x that. Ofc it's also not free to start.

That's going to be heavily item specific, I do caldari and minmatar invention and there are few items that I can sell that outpace my ability to produce and their profit margin is dropping considerably as the datacore prices drop with them.

Invention items take quite a long time to build as well, so I can also run into issues where I'm out pacing my build speed vs invention.

Lucrative market access is always a plus, if you can hit up a high traffic system in 0.0 space you can mark up your invention production enough to make some serious profit. It won't be long till most major markets are going to be barely profitable with some trade hub areas being profitable enough to make a 20-30% markup over production+invention costs.

So I've been playing this game and at the moment I'm building my skills up to get a cruiser so I can do some agent missions (thank you my friends in goonfleet for helping me out!). The only problem I'm having right now is I dont know what else to do. I cant do agent missions out in 0,0 space and I cant do any ratting because all I have is an Incursus or whatever it's called. Any idea's what I can do other than picking up other peoples trash to sell for money?

You can do lvl 1 missions in a frigate w/o any problems, even in 0.0 (except courier missions, as there's a good chance you'll be blown by a gatecamp during your travels).

It should take you 24 hours at most to get into a ghetto cruiser, assuming you went the military path.

Anyway, I'd just randomly flame Burn Eden/MC/Rise/etc. on the forums while you wait and claim you're the alt of someone with 60m SP. Half the game is EvE-O trolling anyway. Might as well learn the ropes.

Hop into a cheapy frigate for PvP. A Kestrel loaded with 4 rocket launchers (will require a micro auxillary power core-- MAPC for short) will tear apart other t1 frigates. Load up your Incursus with weapons and go start shooting other frigates in low-sec space.

If anyone wants to make 180 mil, post a GTC offer for "Seitoko". Thanks <3

I may well do that tonight if i don't forget Sidhe

(this being xel)


Also, does anyone know if faction gain is still borked? any word from CCP about fixing it if it is?

[Itzena]

They say that they've fixed it, but people still say it's broken.

[Gwen Rockpounder]

On the ingame character select newslist :

Standing bug - fix deployed tomorrow the 23rd
reported by: GM Ender | 2007.06.22 17:20:42

Greetings dear player, As you may have experienced, we have been dealing with a bug after the Revelations II launch causing no standings to be conferred upon players following missions. The cause has been found and a fix made which will be deployed during downtime tomorrow, the 23rd of June. The bad news is that we will unfortunately not be able to retroactively correct any standings following the fix, as our programmers tell us this is not possible for technical reasons. While unfortunate, we hope that our players will meet this news with the stoic composure and relaxed acceptance we have come to expect from them in the past. Best Regards, The EVE Online Team!

amusing sarcasm at the end

[Ashes Emberblade]

This just in: Mission runners are still gay.

[Gwen Rockpounder]

Bah, silly Ashes Emberblade!

Without mission runners there'd be umm, well errr, there'd be something lacking from Eve indeed!

To be slightly more serious, mission runner and other empire hugger types (which i presume is more the crux of your banality) bring in a metrick fuckton of subs on top of all the cool types who only ever pvp like real spartan men. With all that sub money, ccp can keep all the dev going to concentrate on all facets of the game. And pay for all the sekret messaging/irc servers etc as well (put in to appease the conspiracy types.)

Eve is a sandbox that everyone can play in, stop trying to piss in the sand

[Draegan]

Damn sand pissers get you every time.

[Gwen Rockpounder]

Think of the mud it would make, ack!

nothing wrong with grinding up a faction to get research agents started. ticking away RP while you're doing other things
