Support NeoGAF

What ship you're using for salvaging? Im about to finish the skills required for it.

I'm using an Incursus - a Gallente frigate, that seemed to offer the most hi-slots, while still being pilotable at my skill level. It has 3 hi-slots (i've two salvagers and one hybrid blaster equipped).

You don't need a lot of cargo space at all for salvaging..that's the other nice thing compared to mining. Salvage takes up tiny amounts of space, so you can be out salvaging for quite some time before needing to dock.

 

[fallout]

That's what I do for missions. I run my DuraMaller out there and pummel the shit out of everything, then run a Coercer with 3xTractor Beams 4xSalvagers in highs, an AB in the mid, and 4xCPR in the lows out there to salvage everything up.

I only had somewhat of an idea of what a CPR was (figured it was a power booster of some sort), so I decided to go digging. I've run across this problem before with terminology and being a noob, so I present to you, the list I found on the EVE forums:

[Buggy Loop]

What was the corp name we were thinking of making an alliance with? Are we still waiting because they're at war?

 

[Micromegas]

I still haven't applied to the Corp. yet. Still working on the "Cash Flow for Capsuleers" missions. Will joining the corp interfere w/ agent missions? Should I finish all of those first?

 

[Buggy Loop]

No it wont interfere with agent missions.

 

[Wes]

Very close to getting my cruiser now. Skills have been trained, I'm just 1.5m isk away!

 

[Vashile]

What cruiser you getting Wes?

 

[Wes]

Thorax

I must be honest and that I'm already starting lose interest in the game yet again! We need to do some corp group stuff as it's the social aspect of mmo's I like the most and so far it feels like a single player game with people in a chat window I can ask for help when I need it :lol

 

[Vashile]

I'm a bit torn between a Vexxor fitted to mission/rat/salvage and a thorax myself. I like the thorax but the idea of having an all-in-one ship like the Vexxor has me thinking.

That and I'm broke!

Wes, what kind of setup are you planning on using? A 1600mm w/ small hybrid blasters or a setup w/ some medium rails?

 

[Ferrio]

Thorax

We should go hunt pirates. Get a group of us, patrol some bottlenecks in empire space.

 

[kennah]

I'm down, still basically got my starting package though

 

[gofreak]

Anyone else have fairly frequent connection problems? It typically takes multiple attempts to connect, and I get dropped pretty frequently too.

Like right now, I'm about to try for about the tenth time to connect..

 

[Vashile]

I haven't had any problems at all. In fact things have run better then any other MMO I have played.

 

[Buggy Loop]

So, vennt and tek, you guys still play?

Seems like EVE's trinity frenzy didnt even last 2 weeks :lol

 

[Twig]

So, vennt and tek, you guys still play?

Haha, yeah, so few people on now. I still love it, though.

I rerolled because I wasn't happy with my base attributes. Bruce McFruppenheimer. This time I'm Amarr, this time. Got a Punisher, currently training to use a Salvager. So much lost money because I can't salvage yet. ):

 

[kennah]

I'm still around, just in the middle of a move right now and have inconsistant internet - the dependancy is rough.

 

[Teknopathetic]

I still play, actually, I think one of my skill's just finished training.

 

[Ferrio]

So is the corp already dead?

 

[fallout]

I'm still around, but EVE, like every other MMO I've ever played is certainly going to be a casual affair.

 

[Vennt]

So, vennt and tek, you guys still play?

Seems like EVE's trinity frenzy didnt even last 2 weeks :lol

New router didn't like me playing games online, although at least I have a replacement coming.

Until then, no Eve, No Warhawk and no CoD4

Sad panda!

 

[Teknopathetic]

My excuse is I was busying upgrading/reinstalling stuff over the past few days .

 

[Buggy Loop]

Eh, odd coincidence, my d-link 624 died on me and all the problems started with Eve lol, first i had the problem of the client crashing because of no client response, reseting the modem and router fixed that, at the same time i upgraded the firmware to 2.76 and since then, the router keeps resetting every few minutes or so, i said screw it and plugged direction in my modem. Im not sure what happened to my network port either, since the router problems, even plugged direction in the modem, my local area connection in the tray bar has status "limited or no connectivity", even though the speed is fine... /mind boggle

 

[gofreak]

I'm still playing, but really waiitng for some skills to finish up before really exploring more. On a 10-dayer at the moment.

I guess that's the nice thing about eve..you can leave it for some days, and still be making progress so that you have new stuff to play with later.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Anyone know what the language options actually do in eve? I doubt any of you tried it since 99.9% are problably english, but i tried to change it to french since a couple of my buds will join next week and they asked if it was in french. Anyway i select it, apply, asks to restart to take effect, i restart... and there's absolutely no difference, still in english. I tried other languages just for the heck of it, doesnt work either.

What's that option for? >_<

 

[besada]

My excuse is that my fourteen days ran out, so I went on a shooting spree and destoryed all my ships before the game eats my soul. I didn't play anything but Eve for those fourteen days. I was right to avoid MMOs.

It was fun, though. Too much fun.

 

[HotByCold]

Where can I download the trial version?

EDIT Nvm, I found it.

 

[gofreak]

Uff. So the time it says it'll take to do skill training is actually the time it takes without taking into account your learning bonuses etc? Cos I left a skill training for what I thought was 10 days, but turned out to be maybe a day or so. Or maybe I'm just not reading the skill ETAs correctly at all!

 

[Buggy Loop]

Most peoples often consuse 1D with 10 in the game due to the font

The time it says for the skill learning is exactly how long it'll take, and yes it takes into account learning skills.

Im currently on minmatar industrial ship rank 4 learning, still over 2 days left, been on it since the start of the week sigh. My mammoth is already waiting at some station.


Got a 2.5m stabber ordered, if i dont have a seller by the end of the weekend, i guess i'll go buy it at 4m, but it seems like a nice cruiser. Then i somehow have to get 50+ M for my hurricane BC, 30m for the ship, i guess at least a 15+m to deck it with a good mix of tech 2.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh........now I see. :lol Thanks.

 

[Hammer]

So I finally decided to check out the 2 week trial pass as I've been putting it off for quite some time. I used to hear and read accounts of these massive battles, cheap tactics and espionage from members of the goonsquad (I think they're thats what theyre called in eve) and I have always been very intrigued. Well, after finally giving it a go, I must say I am amazed. This game is by far the deepest and most involving MMO I have had the pleasure in experiencing, and the design is nothing short of brilliant. Though I swore off monthly charges years ago, I'm fairly certain Eve has changed that. Now I just need to figure out wtf is going on. :lol

Once this account expires I think I'll start over, and hopefully be applying shortly thereafter.

 

[Ferrio]

Well, the corp lasted a good half a week.. guess that's longer than most GAF things last.

Guess I'll have to find a new corp soon as I get my skills up to par.

 

[Icy]

If any of you guys need a vent to use, 50 slot I own. Feel free to jump on anytime. I added an Eve Online Channel.

;_;

I'm still playing. Oh well, my friend has a stupid 2-person corp.

 

[Icy]

I've been running neogaf servers since September for TF2.. NeoGAF record

TF2 is an exception because it's the best multiplayer game in the history of video games.

 

[tehbear]

Well, the corp lasted a good half a week.. guess that's longer than most GAF things last.

lol right when I was about to try this game out... This is probably the first game ever that intimidates me.

 

[kennah]

Well, if anyone cares, I'm back online, and playing again, wouldn't mind doing some stuff with other GAFers since pretty much all I know how to do so far is mine, would sure like to learn some exciting things to do!

 

[JoeMartin]

Any gaffer EVE pilots left?

 

[kennah]

I'm still on damn near every day, still in the NeoGAF corp though I've never seen anyone else log in! Would love for everyone else to get more active.

 

[ShadyMilkman]

Just hopped on to Eve randomly without realizing there was a (limited) GAF presence.

Glenn Ingraham ingame.

Anyone?

 

[Buggy Loop]

On a 18 days skill training, i dont log on much during those times, sucks to see a bar fill up so slowly, might log on next weekend.

 

[JoeMartin]

I'm (rather unsurprisingly) Joe Martin in-game. Working my way through making assault frigs outrageously tankable (not skilling for anything else until I hit 90% resists across the board). You can find me ratting out in Sansha 0.0.

 

[pix]

Just started out this game about a week ago. This game has so much depth compared to any other MMO on the market. I got 2 accounts, one im making a miner the other is a mission runner/manufacturer.

Some guy who has been playing the game for over a year started his own corp with me. the guy has made an incentive program for recruiting new players to help them get started. He basically has things for you to do and if you do them correctly you get items or isk. Good way to run new players through the basics.

If you are interested in joining look me up in game, im on either Pix Sirius or Pixxen.

 

[Onemic]

So is the GAF corp still active?
