EVE has a lot of problems, but CCP completely nailed the balance of being immediately useful but also progressing over time.

You know when you think about it, pretty much. I mean the high end is completely out of wack in terms of balance, but when caps and supers aren't involved, most ships from the smallest to the biggest are useful.

@that new guy - frigate pilots are as valuable as the DPS ships, thanks for holding the kills down and popping drones

Also, gently caress You Fleet is the best you can get out of EVE. Period.

Because I love explaining things -- gently caress You Fleet is a fleet that specializes in electronic warfare. It uses newbie-accessible ships to inflict massed EWAR on hostile ships, neutering their ability to deal damage or heal other ships. It's hilarious because it allows fresh-faced, :shobon: newbies to shut down people who have been playing this game for more than a decade.

Positive: Managed to scavenge some PVP wrecks for about 2M ISK of loot.
Negative: Flew to nullsec with 10M, down to 5M in ISK now.


This makes me sad. One of the trillionaires itt should give this guy some space monies.

I still remember the first time I hero tackled somebody in a Slasher but did no damage because my guns weren’t loaded. Some bittervet gave me 300M.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I'm with you bud, except I'm two weeks in and haven't had much time to play. How does one get into fleets? I see the pings but its only for ships I can't afford/fly yet.

I'm reading through the wiki and have joined the Scientology squad hoping for Tom Cruiser-money :angel:

The vast majority of fleets (not all fleets, notably Clawfleet) are always happy to accept newbies in frigates, and we hand those out for free. It may seem like a small role but like Pomp said the small ships can do great work, and it'll familiarize you with fleet combat without putting anything on the line.

Good news! Crashing into other ships is called "bumping" and is a oseful tactic in some situations, as doing so can change the velocity of the impacted ships.

Doing this to a friendly supercapital ship may get you primaried by your own fleet, which results in laughter all around if they determine you're just an earnest newbie and not a spy.
