So... I got back in EVE. But... I'm starting from scratch :p Made some bad decisions took my character down the wrong path and I might as well start over specially now that I got a lot of time to play EVE during office hours :p
What is the TL Corp up to? What are the joining requirements? Do you have to be a PvP pilot to join?
I'm focusing on the market aspect of EVE now, I tried the PvP approach but playing with only 2 friends was not cool. I'll get to Tech II frigates as soon as I can but ISK is what I'm going after. I flew a fully Tech II Thorax and had the skills to fly a Tech I fitted Mega but I couldn't make enough money pirating and if something went wrong.. Well grinding it was.
I'm trying to get into R&D with Lai Dai as soon as possible but in the process I will be getting ready to fly Tech II fitted Tech II frigates.
I love the PvP aspect of EVE but I am willing to sacrifice a little bit of time be able to support myself and really feel useful.
How can I get in contact with you guys in-game? Preferably a way that is not adding 100 friends :p If there is a way I can interact with some of you guys without moving to nullsec just let me know and since I'm focusing on market and trading if you have a contract that requires market skills hit me up, even if it's risky business.
Edit: Woops! My avatar name is JP Bear

I've always heard about eve but never played. I might get into it. Can anyone point me to a ship creation guide? I want to know the play styles of the different ships before I start my trial 
|
Well yes.. We are a PvP corp that lives in hostile terrain.
As for joining requirements it depends but we mostly take anyone from TL that wants to learn PvP with no reqs. We have requirements for non tl members however.
And for indy advice, i have no idea. And i suspect pretty much our whole corp has no idea.
|
Amnes who can I talk to about joining the TL corp, and yeah don't worry about my indy en-devours I got my advisers, I want to fly with TL people to make stuff go BOOM.
Also, even thou I hate doing this, any financial help would be appreciated since both of the guys that "tutor" me don't play anymore, and you need money to make money when you talk about trading goods.

Guys, get in contact with me so that I can rejoin as Apturan. School is over.

Don't play this game. I spent 8 years playing this game and its the best MMO ever created. I almost ruined my life. To do anything involves HOURs of play. I used to be 2nd in command of BoB and I owned BLAST for a long time.
The game is amazing but unless you are willing to be single, poor, and unhappy for the rest of your life. Don't play it.

I'm gonna start a daily report of anything interesting that happens in EVE trading!
Days 1-3
Total assets: 240m isk
Total Liabilities: 135m isk (owed to Liquid Inc. or members of Liquid Inc.)
Wallet isk: 20m
Things are going well. On Friday, I installed the game with a sense of foreboding (this was the game that had ruined my life, after all) and created a 14 day trial account. After 30 minutes struggling with EVE's UI, I got in contact with Liquid Inc. and received some starting capital to begin trading. I tried getting into a new market, Caldari BPOs, but this turned out to be a disaster, since the market for Caldari BPOs is very weak outside of Caldari space. It will be a long time before I can sell the BPOs that I purchased (though when I do, they will be sold at a considerable profit.)
On Saturday I decided that waiting for revo would be counterproductive (apparently he hasn't logged in in a month) and tried my old password on my old account. It worked. I clone jumped to Jita, undocked ready to trade like a motherfucker, lagged out, and got podded because I forgot that Gentlemen's Club is (probably) always wardecced. Oops.
I got on an alt and started training trade skills. There aren't too many of those, and I should be done within a week.
Reech had 40 mil on him, and I used most of that to buy Caldari BPOs, which, again, I'm going to be selling far into the future because they sell so slowly. What I did was buy four BPOs of every Caldari frig, and put those BPOs up for sale in Dodixie, Ourslaert, Rens, and Amarr -- the four biggest trade hubs outside of Caldari space (I think.) From then on it was all about playing the .01 game... my competitor in Dodixie was so pissed at me constantly undercutting him that he bought out all of my BPOs. Success! One less hub to have to visit.
Meanwhile, I secured additional funding to pursue lucrative contract deals. Some dumbass sold 2 researched Caldari cruiser BPOs at below their NPC price, and I was able to make a quick 40 mil (although half of that went to my financier.) Another idiot sold a faction MWD for 15 mil below Jita price, and I was lucky enough to be in the region where it was being sold.
With the funding from those two deals, I decided that the time was right to get back into The Trade Route. I can't fully describe The Route because it's so incredibly lucrative and brainless that every noob player in EVE would get on it if I made it public. Suffice it to say that it involves an easy-to-move, popular item (2-30 sales per day per region), a reliable supplier, 2-9m isk per sale, and 12 regions that I can easily access to sell to. The scary thing is that it used to be much more lucrative... one year ago, most sales were at around 9m profit per... now, the average is about 3m per.
Right now I am kind of annoyed with my situation. My Minmatar alt cannot fly a frigate that a) has enough cap to get to >60 AU stargates in one shot and b) has respectable agility, which is really really important for getting through low-sec with 50m worth of cargo, which I do a lot. As my character's skills increase, this problem will likely subside, whether it's by me researching cap skills or a different race's frigate skill. I miss my Caldari Navy Hookbill, which had seemingly infinite agility and all the cap space I needed.
I feel like the best solution would be to pull Reech out of corp for the summer. However, that is not my decision to make... although I do have some say in the matter now that I'm paying for the character. The game time ran out for him on Sunday, and I ponied up.
Things are looking good. Look for much shorter reports in the future.

Just read the descriptions for the ships in the EVE Wiki, for once in a game the description mostly match the role.
You can play the trial as many times as you like, there's nothing stopping you from just getting on and trying it

Mot is there anyway you can get me involved in your trading ventures other than financing you? I'm looking on going down a similar route. Even if it is doing some risky hauling for you. I can fly a Badger II and I don't have expensive implants or clones.
I'm also in Caldari space at the moment and I don't have a problem with flying down to you and moving something to a better market. Not to mention I am not in TL Inc so I'm not at war with anyone.

Hang around in the SCBW channel and we'll talk about trading. I don't see any potential for a joint venture, but I can explain how you can make isk.
