ryanrs posted:It's also worth noting that GSF is large enough that you can operate a space business and become very wealthy just by offering services to other goons. Whether industry, markets, logistics, contracts, you can become space rich with zero pubbie contact and zero PVE mining/ratting. When I played, I plexed 6 accounts, bought a super, etc, just by doing work for other people in my alliance. GSF is a massive economy unto itself with a lot of neat niches for specialized work. quick reminder that if you are not sure what to do you should consider fitting doctrine ships to sell on contract. running out of ships happens too often and you can make a nice margin doing it. I fit and sell a lot of logi ships i can make upwards of 25% margins if i buy mods from jita, have it hauled in and buy hulls locally. i started with logi ships specifically because they were constantly going out of stock when i was in co2 but the margins are a little bit better than dps ships. i dont know margins for boosters or other specialty ships.

You are always going to have a better time in EVE if you are interacting with other players. That's from a fun and a profitability perspective. PvE activities like mining/ratting/missions/whatever where you are making money by interacting with a game system will always be revenue limited. CCP balances the payouts for rats and missions very carefully, you are only going to make so much. No so when you do something like trading or industry, the only limit there is the size of the market.

Having empathy for the person losing massive amounts of invested time and probably money is not a bad thing, and should not be treated as such. There are some people that can do it. I am not one of them. It is however a necessary part of Eve and I do not in any way feel anyone who can and does scam is a bad person or whatever. With just a small amount of common sense and enough paranoia to enable self preservation people can easily avoid being taken advantage of. You can absolutely enjoy and prosper in Eve without being there to "ruin someone else's game". It's very likely you won't even run into it happening. Unless you count burning NC/PL to the ground. Their games need to be ruined. Everything that happens they asked for in advance. We're only providing the sweet oblivion they crave.

But some of the stories I see about scamming people that just lonely and/or stupid make me feel some sympathy. I appreciate that this is a game with many layers, but thats not one I care to explore personally.

Klyith posted:There are plenty of goons who have played in the alliance and never been mean to anybody, but if you aren't comfortable hanging out with people who do than GSF isn't for you. The overall goal of the alliance is still to fight wars, gank pubbies, and bring misery to our opponents (which is everyone that isn't us). Right now we're destroying an enemy's space just because we can. My bad. I was confusing him with one of them.

Be who you want man, If you dont like to dunk on pubbies, then dont.

On an individual level, there honestly isn't a whole lot of personal fuckery these days. Sure, there are some outliers who spend all their time scamming or gatecamping lowsec or whatever, but the vast majority of the alliance is quite happy to be doin' their own thing--production, ratting, exploration, dropping Blops on idiots in corps we don't like, whatever. The political entities / other alliances we're fighting are mostly all people who we have a long history with: we're not randomly griefing them, we're retaliating for previous injuries.

I've honestly mostly given up scamming simply because the only marks left are the very poor newbies to the game anyone left that has a vague idea of what's going on in the game knows better

I think if boosters had never been illegal and such a pain in the loving rear end to deal with, everyone would use them by now. But because EVE basically hasn't had a new player in five years, everyone has it firmly stuck in their head that boosters are just a pain in the rear end that's not worth dealing with at all.

I find it more easier and much less time consuming to supplement the income with some plex selling. I would rather work 1 hour and not have to actually grind 5 in a game doing something that isn't too fun.

Rookie ship spawning is back! Apparently CCP is adding a button you can press to generate a new rookie ship in Upwell structures. Hooray for free cyno ships. The difference between now and after patch is you don't get the ship automatically; you have to deliberately request one from the server. Also, if you already have one, it'll just board you into it and repair it.

Has anyone tried to get the free starter pack from Steam? I tried to use it, but it created some kind of alt account under my main profile and I can't transfer anything. I was considering trying this game again. Does anyone have any day one starter tips? I'm just making my way through the tutorials right now.

Steam eve accounts are a special class, and steam won't link to existing normal eve accounts. So if you don't already have a steam-eve account it's pretty worthless.

Do the tutorial, the military career missions (optional), then join goons.

Very few people I imagine want to pay tons of money in sub fees for a video game. But one account makes more sense to just pay the sub if you're not great at making isk.
