EPT2.probe down and kill the russian drake who threatened to pos bash me
What class WH is it? Against a POS manager that is paying attention I don't see how you'd be feeling threatened by a drake of all things.

It's pretty difficult to POS bash in anything less than a class 5 anyway. It's hard to get the requisite number of battleships to take down a POS in C3-4. In a C5....you have to worry somewhat about Dreads so it's different there. | ||

Blame Dex for the Roden thingy iirc. He used to do their lvl4s in Alentene back in TCSI and infected us with it. =P | ||

I haven't really played a lot of MMORPGs, I simply grew tired of all the senseless grinding and non existant atmosphere, is EVE Online really worth playing to someone who doesn't simply like to spend 9 hours a day grinding? How much worth is it for someone who also wants to enjoy some kind of (interactive) story and atmosphere? Also I played BW and Wc3 (and a bit of SC2, I don't really like the game that much) and I eventually always grew tired of (parts of) Gaming communities behaving immature and just plain rude, how's the community and the general behaviour in EVE? I know you will probably never get rid of shitkids and trolls, but of course I hope the amount of those ones is low/moderate. | ||

Since everything is done in real time in EVE, there is virtually no grinding. You don't go and kill creeps to gain experience, you just add skills to the training queue, and go salvage or do missions to earn yourself some money. Even while you're offline, your skills will continue to level up as long as you plan them correctly. It's a different playstyle than that of WoW, that much I can say for sure. | ||

Also , you can pay your game with ingame money? That sounds incredibly awesome, given that you are a good player. | ||

Probably more hours than there are in a week. | ||

What happened was I was doing missions, but when the WT logged I returned to Emol to get a Punisher and help in tracking him down and stuff. When I jumped in to Eystur the target was in Local so I called it on TS and Kwark told me to get out of local ASAP. I warped to the Pator gate and stayed there for a few sec and the WT turned up there. My ship was at like 50% hull, 70% shield and 50% armor so it was quite red. I thought it would be best to get out there ASAP, so I jumped. Enter panic mode where you don't think but instead just do something stupid. Of course the WT jumped right after me and managed to get a point on me on the Pator side.. Everything you need to do in a situation like that is explained perfectly in the bulletins but if you manage to get into that situation, it's a bit different. Of course Kwark was a bit pissed off for making such a mistake, since if I would've let him aggress me first and then jump, it would almost certainly be a kill on that WT, and he wouldn't have been able to jump after me either... And instead of winning the war we are now losing the war. Yeah... A fine was issued and justified.. | ||

We have corp bulletins explaining this theory stuff and the first thing we tell new members to do is read them. While I don't expect new guys to understand all the above and have experience at it I do expect them to remember something when I tell them it's important and to read it. They might not have the initiative and experience to react correctly in new situations but when it's something I've explained to them how to deal with all I ask is that they follow the instructions laid out for them. | ||

EVE is, for better or worse, focused heavily around player interaction. You just set your own goals and do things to achieve them, with/without/in-opposition-to others. Also, there isn't really anything I would call an endgame, though I'm sure others would call nullsec alliance wars and such endgame. That's more of a lategame than an endgame, though. There really isn't an "I guess I'm done!" or "I've reached the end!" stage in EVE. More of a "Fuck it, I'm tired." I have played nearly all the major pay-to-play MMO's and I can definitely say that EVE is a unique experience in the set. It's a very different game in some senses and very familiar in others. Moreso different, though. Definitely at least try it. EDIT: Btw, the Pedobears retracted their wardec on me. lolololololol | ||

KwarK: Best speeding, 2j out, everyone lets take a second and work out what's what and do this right, tofu, what do you have? do you have a longpoint Tofu thinks: *I'm just 1j out in my ship with no tank and no disruptor so I'll check if he's in Eystur and tell kwark if he's there so he'll be happy with my initiative* Tofu says: He's in Eystur Tofu says: I died KwarK: -_- For those who don't know there is absolutely nothing tofu could contribute by being there. His ship was completely useless for this situation, it's the kind of ship that he should be running away from as fast as he could. His options were Jump in Is WT there -> yes -> die Is WT there -> no -> nothing is happening yet he still felt the need to join in and actively sabotage the op with his suicide. | ||

Also I encourage everyone to try this game out. It might seem complicated and harsh at first but that is exactly the essence of being in space, I think. The Hatchery is really amazing and sure, Kwark fines people all the time or blows their Noctis up, but it's almost always fair. I never mind because it's essential to learn from your mistakes in Eve online, and you will certainly learn.. | ||

Okay, so I just lost on Omen to an Ishkur... Quite shameful, even though I've been only playing for a week or so but I was at a gate.. The stupidest thing ever so we actually lost an almost certain kill on a WT and instead lost a Cruiser.. Omen is an awful ship unless you have the piloting ability to fly the zero-tank nano-style that Adolf Ehrnrooth uses (point/MWD/cap injector, FMP, 3/1 or 2/2 TE/HS), to be honest. And even then unless you're an absolutely godly pilot, the shield rupture is a better choice when you inevitably make a mistake flying, as its far more forgiving, has full flight of light drones, and actually has neuting power vs frigs. If you want to humiliate people (kill t2 frigs/drams while flying "crappy" ships), I would really suggest the Exequeror over the Omen. Its better for close range brawling (dual web scram AB or MWD + neuting faggotry sup) and you get more style points for using a mining ship. As a starter combat cruiser I'd really suggest the armor 1600mm rupture (MWD scram web for frig killing or suicide tackling) or, if you have more refined tastes, the Arbitrator (arbi is best of the top-tier t1 cruiser for solo, slightly edging out armor Vexor and Rupture imo, when done right it will kill deimos/vaga, and if you're really good, BCs not named drake). I say best because of several underrated traits--one being the fact that the Arbitrator has equivalent drone bonuses and a larger drone bay than the Vexor. If you're creative you can make people do absolutely stupid shit using the extra drones. | ||

Nano Omen or bust. Everything is better at brawling. | ||
