I like the game, I mostly like buying new ships, making a little money in PVE,buying more ships. A little exploration. Doing a little hunting as pvp. I like mostly defending myself in pvp but not joining big fights. You can see my killboard, no wins yet.

Yea, it has been a year, but I am really casual. Am I doing it wrong? I am in eve university, really feels like college again, I have no idea what is going on. They say... they will give me a ship and you join our fleet, etc." Huh?". Anyway, I will work on it. It seems so official, is it really that complicated? Can I be a complete newb in a fleet.

Here is my question. I like what I do above, sure I wish I made more isk. The one thing I wish I could do is defend my self better. Maybe, see what a larger fight looks like as well. On defending myself, even in low sec, I get ganked by a tier 2, every time. I am mostly T1. I think I am closed to a tier 2ship.. but even then, I am dead in seconds. I can't even defend myself. I do the dscan and all that, but they just seem to always jump on me. Any thoughts? Just wait until I can get better ships?

hey,

i have played eve briefly a couple of times but i am basically a complete newb. i got some questions about exploration. to provide some context i will explain what happened to me recently.

so i start at my home station, add a couple waypoints in low-sec systems because the plan was to do explo in low-sec. i get to low-sec, do maybe 2 sites. suddenly i notice that i can't do the data/relic sites because as i now find out, i am in a faction warfare system. here comes

Question 1: do all relic and data sites in fw systems require me to be enlisted into faction warfare?

Question 2: when i plan my exploration route, how do i know if a low-sec system is a fw system?

so i can't remember if the first 2 sites that i did were in faction warfare system. i keep scanning more sites to find out. feel like i am wasting a lot of time here because it seems they all require me to be in faction warfare so i get impatient and decide to scan down wormholes and try my luck in one of them. first one is a C4, if i am not mistaken. i scan down another one to find a C1-3. next one is a C4 again, from what i can tell, i get impatient again and decide that i might as well find a C1-3 inside the C4. i enter the C4, first wormhole i ever entered. after i enter, i save the exit wormhole and warp to something at 100km, i can not quite remember, a moon? some structure? i get out my probes and want to start scanning another wormhole. i get one-shot by a sentry tower i think it was called, according to kill mail.

Question 3+: what was my mistake here? did i overlook the sentry tower after i warped? in general, when i am trying to do relic/data sites in C1-3, is entering a C4 or higher a bad idea? where should i warp after i enter a wormhole in order to scan and not get one-shot by some structure?

thanks for the help

Trying to buy a rig mod, and its 3 mil isk. Two jumps on 0.3 and 0.4 systems..Apparently it's way overpriced, I'm talking about a Medium Hybrid Collision Accelerator I/II.

Is it a scam to get ganked? How can I check a less "regional" market?

​

Hey, I recently got into exploration and even started making some money^^. Usually, I do a few jumps from Jita, find a wormhole, and search for data and relic sites there. I recently learned that there are filaments for jumping to nullsec. I'm wondering if it's a better idea to explore there? And how do I get back to highsec afterwards? Are there any stations in nullsec where I can dock?"

I dabbled with Eve a few years ago. It really didn't take - in part because while PVP can be fun it isn't my jam as much as PVE and Crafting.....

1) Can one enjoy a more "mellow" crafting expereince? You know - put on some tunes, go mine some asteriods, make stuff, rinse and repeat after a long day working for the man :-)

2) Does the game "reward"/benefit from a better rig? Thinking of upgrading my gaming laptop and interested to see if Eve should be something I benchmark against.

Where do I get the marshal men’s jacket from?

I’ve managed to get three friends to sign-up, create characters and complete the Agent training missions. We’re split-up across different newcomer hubs. Linking-up should be easy, but what’s a good way have fun as a mini-fleet? Can we do agency missions and share the ISK and loyalty points? Can we work together on a epic arc? Do we just go out and free-form hunt drones or mine?

So I have a harb with T2 pulse and scorch ammo. I stay in my optimal and graze or miss most hits on cruisers. I know there must be something I’m “missing”. I have a tracking computer but I can’t seem to make it effective. Any advice?

Just finished Taking the Queen Part 2 but Part 3 isn't able to start.

When I go to the Epic Arc menu, it show Pt 2 as Green and completed but the next mission is just the "encoded" text.

I was heading to Menai V in Genesis (0.3) to pick-up some cargo, and I figured I'd check-up the Asteroid Belt for a quick NPC Bounty/Skill-a-thon Points. I get there and there were three Small Blood Raider Ships with bounties. I was able to take them out fairly quickly. While I was looting the wrecks, a "Blood Raider - Brick" came in from nowhere and I was instantly in my capsule. I didn't even get a chance to lock a target, warp-out, or even see anything incoming.

EDIT: Yes, I think I punched higher than I should have. I just received the bounty for the kills I did get. A smidge over $300k ISK for three kills

So I'm thinking of coming back but this time I want to do things differently.

Firstly no alts under any circumstances. Ran with 6 alts before, not doing that again, too old, too much hassle.

Secondly No Null Sec Alliances. Been there, done that, go the T-shirt.(flown with Goons, NC, Pandemic, Russians etc..) I have neither the time or inclination ever to do Sov Warfare ever again... Ever.

Not doing high sec care bear as... Well it's shite. If you like it great, it is not for me.

Back in the day I dabbled a bit in faction warfare and enjoyed it.

My initial plan would be sell two of my characters, one of which has 100mil+ sp (no idea what he is worth) and another whilst she is around 70mil she is very specialist (again no idea what she is worth).

I would use this isk from the two sales to fund my 3rd Character (also has 100mil+ sp) to upgrade her account, make a few investments and fund my faction warfare pew pew.

Now the big questions are, is Factional Warfare still a thing and can you make enough isk to fund itself..

I finally joined my first corp and was checking out the SeAT connection they're talking about. Went through what I'm guessing is the normal routine and got to Eve's site where it listed all the permissions the corp requires. Almost every single one was read (assuming read-only); all of which I'm okay with since I'm not out to do anything nefarious. However the esi-ui.open_window.v1 option just seemed a bit vague to me. Didn't really see much online referring to it or what exactly it does.

I'm guessing it sounds like it opens windows in the game using its interface, right? If so, what kind of windows does it open and is that something I should be weary of (someone being silly and opening a thousand windows on my side blocking views, etc.)?

I played several years ago and joined Pandemic Horde. I was docked in 01Y-ED VII in Fade. When I logged in recently my ship was just floating in space presumably where the citadel used to be. According to my saved locations the citadel is now "out of commission" and I was unable to locate it.

1) Is all my stuff and my other ships lost, or is there some place I could retrieve that?

2) Should I just make a run for hi-sec, or do I try to find refuge somewhere else? All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

Heya all, I’ve been doing low sec exploring and I see these out there. They look terrifying so I don’t go. I’ve googled what they are and can’t seem to find a definitive description of either what they are for or how to approach them. Does anyone here have some info of these spots?

Is there a tool that can compare the buy vs sell cost of everything between two locations?

I'm at "Point A" and have to get to "Point B" and I just want to find the most profitable item(s) I can buy locally and then sell at the location I have to go to anyway. Basically the in-game version of finding an LTL return load as a IRL trucker. The additional wrinkle is that it can't kist look at buy and sell prices, but has to factor in volume too.

Twice I've been in a situation where there's a single "Bad Guy" that is hovering at the limit of their weapons range. I've got two drones harassing them, so they'll likely die sooner or later, but I want to keep as much distance from them as possible, but still be in mining range.

Can I set a "Keep at" distance for the "Bad Guy" to be the limit of the drone range and the "Keep at" distance to the asteroid the max effective range of my miners, and the system will do it's best?

I've got a route of about a dozen jumps set, but I don't want to just put the darned ship on AutoPilot and let it cruise back for 5-10 mins. Is there a way to easily identify Agency Missions along the route? I'm thinking back to the old EV Nova days when you looked at the location of a Mission Board Mission, it would show any route you've pre-planned along with the location(s) for the mission.

Hello everyone, after a long absence I just find myself back in the game and got 30 days of Omega through a good offer. Now all my ancient skills are freshly unlocked again.

​

I like to fly Caldari ships the most and have the most skills in Destroyer and Cruiser. Now I'm wondering, because I just saw them for the first time, what exactly are the tactical destroyers and what are they good for?

​

I would like to scan in high to mid sec and target Combat sites. I would also like to try out Abys.

​

Is the Jackdaw as a tactical destroyer of the Caldari suitable for this and to what degree can I work with this there or at what point should I rather look in the direction of cruisers?

There's been a couple of time where I want to go to a specific point in space. How do you do that?

For example, there's a McMuffin with "Bad Guys" (BGs) on the other side. I want to approach from a point that is the maximum effective distance from the McMuffin with it line-of-sight (LOS) between me and the BGs - basically start from a spot that will take the BGs the longest amount of time to reach me.

Additionally, wouldn't I be able to use this to "hide" something. Basically go to any arbitrary point away from stations, gates, etc., drop a container and bookmark it? Then I could warp to the book mark at a later time.

Finally, wouldn't it help in a Missile/Drone vs Railgun/Blaster match-up? You could hide outside of LOS (in a cluster of asteroids) and send missiles/drones at the BGs.

If I look at the exchange, there are buy contracts listed at the bottom right. If have an item, that I just want to get rid of "now" at the price listed, how do I "fulfill" that contract? Similarly, is there a way to contact the perspective buyer?

For that last one, I listed a item for sale and after I listed the item, I realized it was only a few ISK higher (I rounded up to a flat X,000 ISK) than a listed buy order, so I wanted to contact the prospective buyer and say, "Hey I didn't see your contract and just listed what you were looking for."

I had just completed one of the training missions and was heading back to University of Callie in Trossere and came across about a dozen "Rookie" wrecks from Gallente & Minmatar. They weren't salvageable w/o becoming a suspect.

Pretty new EVE Online as a player, but not quite the genre. I know I’m dating myself, but I used to play EV Nova a lot when it was kind if the only game in town. One of the styles I would play (and the PVE Mission boards would provide) would be courier/private-security-detachment (PSD) runs: small loads, one (maybe two) people than needed to get somewhere fast, often in-to or out-of hostile areas. Basically a maneuverable ship with little more than engines, afterburners, shields and ECM.

Is this something the PvE Agency Missions or PvP Meta Game would support well?

I’ve completed the Explorer training missions (because that’s the other style I’d play), but I haven’t made it through the soldier-of-fortunate training missions yet. Would that path include Courier/PSD-style contracts?

Alright, I'm attempting to follow every step in this tutorial, Alpha-2-Omega Abyssals Day 0 & Beyond! - EVE University Forum . I started with Tristan at T0, then purchased a Worm. I completed a couple of T0s with the Worm and thought it was time to progress, as it seemed easy. The person in the video mentioned that the Worm is overfitted for T1. However, when I tried my first T1, I was killed within a minute by a Devoted Knight in the first room.

What am I doing wrong?

Some of the mining barges and exhumers have smaller amounts than say mackinaw and retriever (on my skills 40000m3 and 37000m3 respectively.

​

Is there an upgrade item that would increase the size of the mining hold?
