Is there a trick to making the mumble overlay work in this? I tried for an hour to pin it down earlier and it just never worked, whether I launched Eve or Mumble first, whether it was in Fullscreen or Windowed, whatever.

Here's a new question. When I get home from work, I usually have about an hour before I gotta get to bed, on account of a "we say 10s but they're more like 12s" work schedule. Is there much that can really be done in this game in an hour or less besides loving around with PI? I guess I could go exploring for cash, but that's not much time. And am I just poo poo out of luck for PvP on such a small timeframe, newbie that I am?

Best bet is to get a stash of frigates in a busy lowsec system or cluster of systems and just go for it.

CTA/Strat ops are pretty much the only things you can't properly do in under an hour. The form up alone is often 30+ minutes.

You have 2 other options if for whatever reason you decide you don't like using mumble-d: 1) You can set eve to just open the game in dx9, but you always have to use the launcher. or 2) You can download and install the 1.3 dev version of mumble, which has an overlay that works with dx11. I haven't had problems with this, but it is a development snapshot, so you might

Should I complete the Career Agent stuff before applying? I already did the military one for the free ships and skillbooks. Exploration looks like it might be worth learning for the very basics of scanners and stuff (and it looks neat). Any of the others particularly important? Also, given that I imagine there's a lot of downtime for a newbie if you don't have a fleet to cart your rear end around at that particular time, should I invest in the stuff to keep a Jump Clone somewhere civilized for times when there's not much going on for an unskilled (in both points and knowledge) player out in the wastelands of null sec? Lastly, like I mentioned before I've already got a goonfleet forum account, but it was never linked to EVE, it was when I was playing MWO. Do I just need to jump down in the application process to adding character APIs and get added to the proper forum group, or do I need to re-go through the rest of the authorization process? If nobody knows, I'll just send an email to the newbies address. It's a bit of an unusual situation relative to the instructions in the wiki/OP.

There is something you have to do if you have an MWO related registration, I just don't remember what it is (since I've never had to do it myself personally). Fire off an email to newbies@goonfleet.com

I would recommend doing all of the career agent things just to get a sense for how they go, before joining GW in game just because of all the war dek stuff in highsec, then taking the pod express to Dek. Some of those tutorials have good information in them (and free skill books)

Thanks for the info guys. I'll clear all the Agents then. Fair point about making sure I finish all my newbie stuff before I join up too. I'm sure plenty of people would enjoy blowing up goons, especially new ones. I already had a warning pop up (briefly) that someone was trying to scramble me on my short trip from Caldari space to Amarr. They weren't successful, but it was surprising to see in a high sec system. I didn't even see anybody lock onto me in my overview, though that is likely because my overview is set up incredibly shittily right now.

EponymousMrYar posted:All the Agents give you free ships and skillbooks and liquidating everything will get you some starting scratch. Industry and Business are kind of one and the same for the most part. You can skip one or the other unless you want both t1 hauler rewards. If for nothing else, all the starter career agents give pretty hefty bonuses to empire/faction standings (with no drawbacks) so running them all once can only help you later when you accidentally pod some poor fucker in a NPC corp and it tanks your standings (at least it will offset the blow a bit).

When doing the Advanced Military mission where they warn you that your ship will blow up, platinum insure whatever ship you're going to be flying. You'll get the insurance money. Also bookmark the can that the station leaves behind and pick it up in another ship, it usually has some nice things in it. Passive Targeters are a thing, which lets someone lock you and scan you without you knowing for however long the passive targeter cycle lasts. Or someone wanted a high sec gank for whatever reason.

Since we are in the HIC vs DIC discussion, i'll go ahead and ask my noob question: what's the difference in fleet tactics? DIC is basically "go to them, bubble them and collect the SRP", but i don't see many HICs in fleets. Is it because they do they exact same but are quite more expensive? Or do they behave differently?

RattiRatto posted:Since we are in the HIC vs DIC discussion, i'll go ahead and ask my noob question: what's the difference in fleet tactics? From: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=221826 (I am not sure how much of this is still relevant tho) Interdictors ('DICs) are disposable (cheaper, and fragile = Destroyer-class). They launch (can fit multiple launchers) area-of-effect Warp Disrupt Probes which creates a bubble that last 2 minutes. Typically they launch, bounce (if they survive), and cloak. Their main defense is a small signature and speed (hence the Minmatar Sabre is the most popular), plus a cloak. Heavy Interdictors (HICs - cruiser-class) can have an impressive tank, especially Devoter and Onyx, and have a dual-purpose Warp Disruption Field Generator (there is a T2 version as well) that can be used as a bubble or infinite point (loaded Focused Warp Disruption script determines) that lasts as long as the module is activated. It is possible to fit two or more generators. Bubbles cannot be used in hisec or lowsec, so 'DICs are only useful for low-level missions there (the new T1 destroyers are arguably better, with more DPS but less tank). Infinite point can be used anywhere. HIC with Infinite point is only way to stop a supercap in lowsec. HICs are often used for fleet cyno ships. They are usually all defense and no offense. HICs cannot be repped when their generator is active (hence more than one in a fleet to take turns), nor can they move very fast. HICs are often used in w-space to close wormholes, as the generators greatly reduce the mass of the ship. Maintaining capacitor is the biggest challenge for a HIC pilot (next to staying alive of course). A random carrier pilot is more likely to throw a few 'DICs into his hangar than a few HICs.

This make me think: they die at the same speed in fleet fights (not small scale i mean), so it's definitely better a DIC since the bubble will still stay up after they start to fill the SRP loss. Obviously HICs are really good for infinite point, but that is the only use i can see so far.
