Well I read the entire original post and many of the others, and at this point I think I dont really care if the original post was faulty or not. I dont even really like PvP, but suddenly I have the urge to pick up EVE again. I tried the 14 day trial once, and I even bought an extra month of play, but then I stopped playing because everything felt too slow and I felt like I was always behind. And after reading this thread I can now remember how I never tried any PvP at all, and how the only thing I remember that was even remotely fun in EVE is the time I went to a lower security zone and I was thinking about how I might get attacked. That being the only rememberable part of my former EVE experience, I think I now realize that that is the exact part I should be aiming for, and I'm going to resubscribe for another month and give the game a try, PvP style this time. So... Thanks. Play as your favorite retro characters: www.cnd-online.net and read my blog: creatingaworld.blogspot.com/ |

Does this post/guide still hold true after the release of Revelations 1?

Originally posted by Stratus8Some of the mechanics have changed slightly, but in reality, yes it still holds true. Space is pretty saturated with noobling pirates it seems though now days. |

Originally posted by Stratus8 The guide is still good. Revelations character creation made things much better. You can now start with a character that has most or all of the needed skills. So training is no longer an issue. Have fun. Be prepared to die. |

The noobling pirate gang experience get's my official macaroni and paste star of approval.
 Gang damp a bufuzzled RavenBear to poverty today! Remember kids: Rifter gets a *free* extra mid. The gang needs at least one ECM for potshotting the guy's sensors. A damp or three to make the ECM painful. And only one webber to keep him from getting to the gate. As stated in the guide, don't forget to kill the drones and don't forget to remind your friends to bring ammo. |

Great post to read. As soon as I get my Trial key I'll see if I think the game is fun. Can't wait!
Update: Just started playing and... WOW! What a load of info on screen! It makes me dizzy! I don't know how to play the game or what to do, but I think that's over when I did the tutorials... Didn't know the learning curve for this game was so high. This is gonna be a long night. current game: |

i found the trial to be very tedious and complex to which i didn't have the pations for at the time. 2 hour tutorial really set me off.

Hey everyone Just signed up here, as I did with the EVE 14 day trial. I had heard of EVE before, but never really took a look into it. Now my friend came up with this game out of nowhere and I feel myself kinda draged to this game, reminding me of good old Homeworld.
Anyway, I’m going to play together with my friend and am now wondering in what direction I should head. Problem is, he’s like chaotic evil and I’m more like lawful good. So of course he want’s to be a pirate and have a huuuuge bounty on him and being feared across the universe and the likes. Maybe I could bring him to play just a mercanary or even a bountyhunter. I always liked playing supporters, buffing and healing allies and maybe disturbing the enemy a little. As for a living, the market and business is really appealing to me. So, being the total newb I am, I need some advice on how I could build my toon up. Friend’s started out as some rogue-thingy (he likes having ultra-DPS ;D). So I’d have to be decent in combating/surviving and having some social skills to do the talk and selling some things on the market. Or maybe I really don’t know how this game runs and should just play it for two weeks now and come back again later :D |

So you're saying EVE does not have any supporter-like ship set ups but only head-on fighters, packed with as many weapons and shields as they can possibly carry?
Come on  |

Yes there is an entire line of ships which would be considered support, they are called logistics ships in game. They 'heal' shields, armor, boost eccm, boost tracking, boost sensors, etc. Drones can also do all of the above, so you can increase your power. Sadly, this profession is not very well implemented except when you get into extremely organized gangs or mission runners. You don't find too many people that specialize in these skills as a primary skill set unless they are an alt. Actually it is very much like the buffbots and dual-boxed toons in some of the more traditional fantasy mmorpgs.

For a true idea of the game do not bother to use their voice/emulated demo, that computer voice is only to make you believe their is something more to Eve than there is....overall the game sucks and isn't worth playing...... Try the game at face value and you'll quickly realize its nothing more than a fancy chat screen/spreedsheet and poorly implemented ELITE wannabe....

Originally posted by daeandor yes, I did have millions of skill points and months of paying for this game...and I know what sucked me into it, it was the voice overs in the tutorial.... I'd strongly suggest anyone interested in trying this game try the game without the tutorial, and look at the game for its face value, and does it seem like fun...do you think you'll have fun in 4 or 5 months or when the latest cheat/modification or lag destroys your hard work and customer support tells you its "working as designed". I probably gave Eve too much credit when I said what I did above..... ========================== |
