You can train about 22 million SP per year if you plan wisely and use your remaps. But the upside is you can get into useful and fun ships with relative little training these days.

If your name happens to be a swear word in any language or something racist or rude, you can get someone to petition your name to get it changed.

If it doesn't just don't bother even if you're named something incredibly stupid. My main character is named Dream Raven. When I post on GF dot com it says Dream Raven.

I tried to get the one called "Twilight Moon" renamed, on the basis that I created this character in 2005 and that while it is still a terrible name originally, it has become exponentially more so since that god awful series of tweeny vampire stories were written. I tried the angle that it had become offensive for me to play due to the sheer amount of harassment I suffered in game when I tried it for the free week. Whoever I was dealing with wasn't feeling sympathetic at all, and I have the feeling he was laughing while typing out the reply.

Ok I'm not going to lie; that's a pretty bad name. But just roll with it. Think of all the jerks that'll have that name on their lossmail.

If you hate your names so much I'm sure you could sell your characters on the EVE-O forums and buy another. Fake edit: Hell, I am in the market for a higher SP character then my 20msp main. I would probably buy your 50msp character if it isn't complete poo poo. PM me on GF.com or in game if there is any interest in exploring this option.

I could be seriously wrong on that number, that was just a rough one pulled from some old eve skill planner .txt I found while searching to see if I even still had the EVE client on my PC on the old hard drive. I highly doubt I finished that skill plan, this was from before you could queue a bunch of skills up, and I know I lost interest logging in. Anyway, once I have access and find out what character has what, I'll fire you a PM if I intend to sell.

Guy with the horrible name could sell his charcter on eve-o for isk and buy a similar SP character with the isk. It'll be named by a random pubbie though. Personally I'd just learn to live with your lovely name.

The Locator posted:PI is easy isk, but you need to spend a couple weeks (or three?) training the skills to level 4 in order to run 5 planets (1 character) and that brings in about 7m isk per character per day after POCO taxes (before broker/sales tax). If it's set up right you only need to touch it about once per 3 days (figure 30 minutes or so) to reset things, and then every couple weeks you need to haul the stuff somewhere to sell it. Starting from scratch, it will take you just under two weeks to get the skills for PI (CCU IV, IPC IV, Planetology IV - includes Remote Sensing III has a prereq, and Gallent Industrial I to fly an Epithal). It will go quicker if you have your stats in the right configuration already or have implants plugged (you should have implants plugged on your main, at least). This means that if you take a month out of your training, you can train up two additional PI alts on your account - although I am not sure that is the best use of the character space. One of my alts is industry and also does PI (because why not) and the other is an alpha-clone scout/tackle/t1 gank catalyst pilot who also has PI skills. This works out for me right now, but not if you want an out-of-alliance alt to do highsec hauling or something. Running multiple alts on PI really isn't too bad, especially if you consolidate them into the same system - then each character just has to bring their poo poo into station, and you can use your main to ferry it to a freighter pickup to take to jita for sale. You can choose to either stagger your timers so you are logging in every couple days for a little while, or line them up so you are logging in once every 3-4 days and reseting everything.

mikey posted:I'm still amazed at how many people don't understand this. Anyone who thinks the CFC would 'take over nullsec' if PL and N3 weren't valiantly holding them off with their wrecking ball seems to have forgotten that B-R happened. The CFC is held together by necessity, not by some kind of galaxy-conquering bloodlust. The majority of the members of the CFC would happily reset each other if they didn't need to band together to counter the supercap fleet of one 2000-person alliance. Thus, death to all supers. Confirming there are many in the CFC whom I would happily shoot Klyith posted:Holy poo poo this CVA guy is SO MAD that the job costs for research are going into an isk sink instead of his wallet. To be fair, it is kind of dumb that the station owner doesn't get the revenue from jobs run in that station. ------- Re: names, my main is the same as my forum name since that's something I've done since I was 15 on every game I've ever played (yes it's dumb) but what's worse is that I went out and bought a character named Sergant Cornhole since his skills were perfect for what I needed and I had been looking for months.

Anyone advocating that ccp needs to add more 0.0 space is insane, their needs to be a hell of alot less space. right now the tow major blocks have a poo poo ton of room so much so that the largest 0.0 alliances are renter alliances. The current population of eve needs 0.0 to be reduced by half (in number of systems not physical space). Cram as many people as close together as possible without over crowding too bad and you will get wars and content again

When CCP did their name trawl for the monument they forced a name change on one of my industry alts Fagballs McGinty. That was the name his parents gave him and he had been using it with no issues for 4 years  Now I have an Amarr Citizen34353343 character like all the cool kids.

Yes, there is a lot of empty (or very lightly populated) null-sec, but it's pretty poo poo space. Note that this is my experience in GSF, and may not hold true across all of null-sec.

I think that they should add an npc null pocket somewhere in the East, even if it's only like five systems that expand a current region like Outer Passage.

Low sec needs a serious shake up. By low sec I mean the non faction warfare stuff. Gate guns ignoring sig and speed would be a good start. He'll just remove gate guns entirely. Such a dumb idea. I don't see why we can't bubble either. Would help to purge some supers in the game since low sec systems are the best place to park them.

I've lived in Deklein, Pure Blind, Fountain, Malpais, Scalding Pass, and Paragon Soul. In all cases, lovely true-sec systems (like 7X-02R -0.09) were empty compared to the -0.8 and -0.9 systems, even if there was some unique/redeeming feature about it.

People should carrier rat because getting tackled and having 40 people shoot you is a way more manly way to die than to get killed by two maledictions in your Ishtar. It is also a lot more exciting when bad guys come into system and you start your 30 align and start praying. I lost a carrier the other day with like less than 2 or 3 seconds left before I escaped. Also you can have the joy of accidentally warping off and leaving 200m in drones on a despawned anom.
