No I mean like right now. I started working on missiles. The in game guide says repair but it's a red skill.

The career agents are fantastic for isk and knowledge, I would do the mining one and get the basic skills for a Venture mining frig. They give them out at home base and it’s a nice and easy set of skills to have.

Alright I'll do that!

Someone contacted me and gave me a ton of useful advice and even offered me a 9 million isk mission ship. I told him that I might move in with some friends in Delve some time in the future. He instantly left the conversation. This is the third time this has happened.

So, do you need isk to buy the skillbooks? Whats your ingame name

It's the same as here but it's fine. It's more about knowing what specific books are useful since they're around 100k each. The game is also trying get me to buy books that aren't useful at the moment.

A new eve goon being excited about a ship worth 9m makes jaded veterans reflexively send you a hundred times that in isk because to some players a billion isk is pocket change.

When I started a year and a half ago I was incredibly nervous flying my $100m asteros around, but now I casually gate things worth ten or twenty times that much.

A guy in delta sqad has 500B isk just in plex and another 500B in super caps and then like 5 rorqs. Some people in this game are insanely rich.

I was genuinely worried because I couldn't afford insurance for my frigate. These missions were rough and I didn't want to lose it. (I'm fine now though thanks!)

I was wondering why my ship had no shield and I think it was because it cost 22.000 isk which was too much.

Join a goon spaceship guild. Ask in gs_frigates for a free frigate of your choice (unlimited quantities seriously just ask). Go on a op pinged out on jabber. Mention that you are brand new to the game and trying to learn how to tackle in your t1 frigate. Bask in the glory that is free isk in your wallet.

That does sound like fun. I'll be going around east of Amarr while they work on my application in the meantime.

Agreed. I've been patrolling around the south east looking for things to shot (killed one thing, forget to loot it, died twice, fun over all). Returning to Amarr is the most depressing part. I almost got myself exploded by the police by reflexively targeting and almost shooting a ship that came too close in highsec. This is going to happen sooner or later.

Playing cat and mouse with a saber and his friend was probably a hundred times more interesting than mission running.

I'm just hanging around Amarr while my application is being processed. I applied pretty early so I'm not dragging out this stay in high sec.

People have been really helpful so far so things have been fun.

If you want to make a relative boatload of isk (for a newbie) and have some fun with competition for the sites, roam around in a cheap T1 scanning frigate with a data analyzer and scanning skills, and start scanning down and running the Crimson Harvest and Tetrimon network node cosmic signatures Data Sites(hide the "anomalies" and ignore combat sites, relic sites, gas sites, wormholes, and Data sites with a 'difficulty' of I or II). Scanning is a bit of an advanced skill, but there are guides on the Eve University wiki that can you can get started on it, before you get accepted into the alliance and see our internal resources for newbies. And if you get good at them, the more difficult sites in Derelik pay out about 45-120 mil isk per site.(ends November 10)

You might find scanning boring, and if you do just skip it. If there's one good thing about this game, it's that there is plenty of variety in the options and playstyles available to you. T1 abyssals are also decent and newbie friendly, would recommend looking into that as well if blowing up ships is more your style :shobon:

This is a lot of good advice thanks and I'm going to save this. I have some starting funds (thanks you know who you are) which will last several dozen replacement ships. I think I'll be using those funds up first on war ships before I try exploring ways to make more money.

Know that you don't get a notification or change of corp membership when buttons have been pushed, you gotta go into the corp menu and see if the "accept invitation" button has become available to you. If so, push button.

Buttons may have been pushed, you gotta look for evidence of it.

Maybe i misunderstood the process. I emailed all my info and I thought that an invite would be sent to my pilot when everything was ready. I didn't apply in game until I got confirmation.

Am i supposed to apply in game right away?

Okay because I'm reading this article

After I receive and accept that invite. I'm then supposed to register on the website.

you just look up the corporation in-game and then there's a place where you can apply to it, and someone on the recruitment team will approve it. you go back to the same place you applied to check the status of your application.

Maneck fixed it for me which was very nice of them. And thank you for helping out. Otherwise I'd still be in Amarr just causing trouble for people.

Svanse was the FC. He was really nice and patient with me. Way more than I had earned.

I think the filament teleports are affected by the safety? My safety has been red for a while now. But if it hadn't been I would never have figured out what made the fleets spontaneously teleport across space. Or why I would have been left behind.

It was great. I learned a lot. Tackling by slingshotting at the other ship in an arc made a huge difference in damage taken.



Logi anchor practise was very difficult, and I wasn't even close to nailing that. But I'm practising in Delve by stalking random ships and then pretending the stuff they're interacting with is the enemy, and then manually piloting to keep the right distance.

Add logi anchor to your watchlist, then right click on the name and select "orbit [select specified distance]" if in fleet.

Always add FC to your watchlist as well.

To add someone to watchlist: right click their names in fleet, and select "add to watchlist"

At least AFAIK I don't have logi skills trained, and also assuming we are talking about the same thing

Learning how to spiral approach a target for point/scram/web is something everyone should learn early though

No I mean acting logi anchor and manually piloting to keep the fleet between us and the bad guys.

Mederlock was acting the part of the fleet. Burning around in a Jackdaw while I was supposed to keep him at around 20 km and then stay on the opposite side of him of the enemy (in this case played by the 1DQ keepstar) while doing manual piloting.

Is was very difficult. But maybe I could do it with a Cruiser?
