Support NeoGAF

[Flunkie]

I really, really want to get into this, but my backlog and life in general won't allow it.

This is a world I want to be apart of, especially with DUST coming.

Nice thing about EVE is that there's rarely any grinding. If it's skills you're worried about, all you need to do is wait. It gives you plenty of time to play other games.

 

[remnant]

Are you guys even that active? I haven't touched Eve for over two years and don't have the urge to get back to mining day and night while gazing at the Fenrir parked in the station.

I'm on almost every day for atleast an hour or two, and ever since I've got this corp together i haven't played without seeing one of them on. We aren't goonswarm or anything, but we are probably the most active MMO group on GAF right now.

Here's a link to the alliance tournament 9 stream if anyone cares:

Edit:
PL just offered Hydra Reloaded 20B if they self destruct lol
....it looks like PL paid them but Hydra didn't self destruct LOL

 

[remnant]

Just got an email on EVE from someone named Lang Drovotet. If that is you, send me a PM so we can get you into the corp.

 

[JWong]

Almost out of the tutorial... not sure what to do after it.

I don't feel like running missions, but that's the quickest way for cash, right?

I'm trying to figure out how to make quick cash with mining, but not sure what's the best method of selling. Selling ores? Refine then sell? Damn too many options.

I'm really tempted to resub now.

Back in the day, Ice harvesting was decently profitable for the beginner.

PVP in low spec space and salvaging the wrecks is probably the quickest way to make cash. However to do that would require time and a lot of skills.

 

[Nemic77]

So I decided to buy EVE a few days ago, following the Dust reveal at E3... Great experience so far, even if I'm a bit overwhelmed at the moment... (making the jump to the SoE epic arc starting point while I'm writing this)

I wouldn't mind joining the gaf corp, but seeing that it is in a low sec zone, I don't think It's wise to go there right away.

Reading how ruthless things can be out there, I've been doing stuff solo. Had a few private convos inviting me to gain easy isk doing missions, asking me to warp to them, etc... But I dodged those - looked like a trap to me, dunno...

I am still undecided on what to do though? I enjoy combat, and salvaging / archeology sound like fun too. Can any good isk be made from those last 2?

I take it it's better to focus on something eventually? My skill training has been a bit all over the place since I had to train some skills to finish the agent's quests at the starting area.

Anyway, hope to see some of you ingame some time!

 

[Drkirby]

For the people who got ganked before trying to get to the GAF base, did they just blow you up, or did they first jam your warp drives? It may be a good idea to put a warp core stabilizer if they are just jamming you.

And did anyone else besides the one guy have a problem?

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Anyone online right now that can send me a 21-day trial so I can activate what will be my main account? I PMed oktarb but he/she is either slow or on a radically different time zone and hasn't responded yet. PM me if interested and I'll send details shortly.

 

[∀ Narayan]

PM sent.

 

[Apath]

You do not need to be at the 0.4sec station to join the corp. I've been in the N-GAF corp for ~2-3days and have yet to even come close to where the headquarters are.

 

[Man]

I don't think I can go back to EVE honestly, but the Dust trailer really got me amped for the possibilities in the connected universe. I want to get hired as a GAF merc once it's all set up

I believe you will end up being a highly sought one with your competitive skills.

 

[MedIC86]

expansion coming tuesday right? anything else beside walking in station ?

 

[Mailman 007]

New Turret animations and new tutorials... can't think of anything else

 

[BattleMonkey]

It's not really walking in station, pretty much just walking around in confined areas like quarters and such. Full stations you can walk around and such are a ways off.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Maybe new nebulae. I think they're adding the vanity shop and Aurum as well. As far as ambulation goes, we're just getting the Captain's Quarters. Walking in stations will be added later.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Account activated! 50 days of game time at the moment, and I get the +3 to all stats implant as well.

I'm going to end up spending an hour in the character creator though...

 

[Man]

Just got my first new ship. The Executioner oh yeah! Drastic jump in stats.

 

[Man]

I almost feel dirty for jumping in straight before the Incarna update and getting it all on a silver platter.

This is what got me into Incarna.

[Man]

The character creation engine/modeling is the best I have ever seen. Are they using a third-party solution or is it self-made? It looks *amazing*.
If the above cloth physics make it into Incarna then it will be an amazing platform for character-driven material.

 

[∀ Narayan]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrtwESnTOwY&hd=1

I'm pretty sure the material in that video is for their World of Darkness MMO. Of course, I expect the same kind of stuff in Incarna.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Is there a way to check where your character is docked if the account is inactive? I would be up for giving Eve another go for a Neogaf corp but if I'm on the other side of the galaxy then...eek. I imagine I'm not too far from Jita.

 

[JWong]

Ugh, a day and 14 hours to get to my Osprey.

I need to miiiiiine!

 

[Apath]

I just got a Destroyer.

Doing the tutorial missions really puts you on the right track. I've received over eight ships from doing the tutorial missions; all of the normal Amarr frigates as well as a destroyer, and many of the core skill books to boot.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Alright, applied to the N-GAF corp with my new character.

The Destoryer is fun, you can put like 8 guns on it

 

[∀ Narayan]

You ought to fit your destroyers out as sniping boats or salvagers. I have a Catalyst fitted as a salvager. Poor man's Noctis! Hell yeah!

 

[JWong]

And the mission where it gives you the destroyer is like, "This mission is so hard, you're gonna have to pull out all the tactics in the book. Prepare for death!"

8 rail guns makes it easy.

What makes it more suited? I tend to not use the thing to often since it is slow and I have it in the station you got it (Should drag it out)

How do you have it decked out?

 

[remnant]

Just added 4 more people to the Corp. Remember please send me a PM before you apply or bump the thread with the name of your EVE character. Thanks

 

[JWong]

Does the epic arc mission have any salavaging or jamming or anything like that?

Can I just load out weapons?

 

[Ferrio]

So what's the best missions to run in high sec space for isk?

 

[Mr_Appleby]

well a salvager seems kind of handy to get extra stuff out of missions. or maybe i'm just a compulsive scavanger

 

[JWong]

I thought salvager only works on specific derelict ships or wrecks. That's what the tutorial taught me anyways.

 

[BattleMonkey]

You should always have a salvager equipped on your ship. It greatly increases the amount of money you make on missions.

You can salvage pretty much any npc wreck. What you get is a bit random, but you can get usually crap that worth more than all the loot you would get from the kills.

Anyway to make it salvage faster? I guessing there isn't any Salvaging drones.

The base skill increases chance of salvage, which basically can speed up the process. Better salvaging modules also increases the chance to find stuff. What takes the longest is when you get stuck on a wreck that you keep failing to find, so increasing the chance to salvage is helpful for speeding up the process.

 

[Drkirby]

Ok, just dump train up the Salvaging Skill got it. Anything else besides the one skill help it?

And is there any other Salvagers other then the main one and the Tech 2 Equivalent?

Salvaging tips http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Salvage

Salvage tackles are also nice, but this kind of is more oriented to dedicated salvage boats. If you are playing a regular mission running ship in PVE, you will probably not want to go crazy on salvage, but its always good to have at least the basic salvage module because it greatly increases mission income.

 

[shintoki]

I got into Eve U. My quest for knowledge begins anew!

Still have not much clue what to do yet, but I'm enjoying it.

 

[Oblivionmancer]

As far as salvaging is concerned, keep in mind that your ultimate consideration should be isk/hour (or isk/unit of time, you get the point) not isk per mission. If you can do it efficiently while still killing remaining enemies, it can definitely give a nice boost to income, but it's often better to rely on the bounties from missions to make isk. This is especially true early on for a couple of reasons; first, the most valuable salvage comes mostly from battleship wrecks, which you only see in level 4 missions. Secondly, completing missions faster results in more standings increases, which gets you to higher level missions at a faster rate, and that is by far the quickest way to boost your income. I personally don't bother to salvage or loot anything; by the by, once I get a mission ship for my character in the gaf corp, I'm happy to let anyone who wants to tag along to loot/salvage my missions.

I was just gonna do all the Eve U missions in order to sort of break myself in, but do you mean something else? Like Help > Tutorials > Tutorial Missions or something?

 

[Mr_Appleby]

i think he means the career funnel: help -> find career agents

doing them all will net you a few mil and the above mentioned ships and skill books.

 

[MedIC86]

I saw a compilation vid of EVE once were they build factory's on a planet. Can anyone explain me how this works, what the benefits are? dont link to a guide please, i need some player experience on this.

Thanks!

Meh, I did it in my Punisher.

Yeah, I did all of the tutorial mission save the last one which is like business or something?

Sounds like Planetary Interaction.
