It's actually pretty funny how often people screw up contracts. I look through them every day because sometimes you nab some thing for ridiculous prices. One of my XL X-type gist boosters was on contract for 24 mil isk. | ||

I put out a buy order for quite a bit more than the highest buy order currently on the market and I plan to make quite a nice profit since the lasers sell pretty well according to the market data I got. If this works I will be amazed :p if it doesn't I only lost 19k. | ||

Total assets: 1.25b isk Total Liabilities: 0m isk Wallet isk: 900m Not much happened today. I paid everyone in Liquid back and sold my carrier. I trained Contracts, finally, so now I can sell more than one faction item at a time.

1) With the free trial, is there any restrictions? Someone mentioned some on the EVE website but I don't know if that is old info, or if they are misinformed... 2) Do you know of any particular sites / guides I should visit before I start my trial so that I can maximize my free EVE time? 3) How quickly do you think I can get into 0.0 space as a more gunship type oriented pilot (most likely frigate -> capital -> BC... is the tech route im looking at... probably going to go for some ratting -> merc work if its availiable...) 4) Do established accounts still get 21 day free trials to offer to new players? | ||

You can play the trial for as many times as you wish. EDIT: Forgot to mention learning skills. You will hear alot about these, my advice to you is, ignore them. They are SUPER important but it totally ruins the new player experience. 3) You are valuable in 0.0 PvP in just a frigate. Interceptors and Interdictors, which are advanced frigates are useful to any fleet for holding the enemy in place while the bigger ships deal out the hurt. If you want to rat with some bigger ships, common sense can take you very far. Listen to your corpmates, be prepared to die and most importantly ASK QUESTIONS! People who assume something works one way will often learn the hard way that it doesn't. EVE Players are often willing to help, even strangers. 4) Yes, they do. Worth to note, if an account sends you a 21 day trial and you activate this trial into a full account, the account that sent you the invite gets a full month of game time for free. PM me if you are interested and I can hook you up :3 | ||

Glad to help. Another common question is about gametime, it always stacks no matter how you do it or when you do it. Just figured I should tell you that | ||

My advice is to choose a race, do the tutorial up and down. Read all the welcome pages and that is probably going to use up your trial time but you will end up with some pocket money and some mods to sell. Now the progression to get to Battlecruisers (which is what you hear everyone talking about) is Frigate->Destroyers (arguable but good if you plan to run mission)->Cruisers->Battleships->Battlecrusiers. Now since you are planing to do PvP, Minmitar is the way to go. What you should do is plan your skill program so that you can fly Battlecuirsers with Tech II Autocanons asap. There is a nifty program called EVEMon that an help you out with that, ask in the SCBW Channel for the standard "Nanostructure fitted Hurricane a.k.a. Nanocane" and copy that into evemon to see what is the fastest route to train the required skills. As for ways to make ISK before you get to 0.0 and can farm the pirates and complexes, run missions for a Minmitar corporation. Look for the Minmitar Navy or Federation Navy (I can't remember what its called) and look for the agents tab. Find the highest Quality Level 1 agent and right click Set Destination, dock at the station he's in and start a conversation with him so that he gives you a mission. Just keep doing missions for him until you have the skills to fly something better than a frig. After repeat what you did to find your current agent but now look for the highest Quality Level 2 agent at your disposal. P.S. the division the agent is in only determines what type of missions you are going to get, as in Killing mission, Hauling or Mining. So try to do missions for someone in security or something that sounds like you can kill stuff because killing missions usually give you more ISK than any other type. --- On another note about frigs in 0.0: Frigs in 0.0 can do damage but you have to know how to PvP properly and have a nice set of skills, training the minimum level allowed to fit the frig how you want is not enough, plus a frig is limited to making money only by killing other frigs so even thou they are useful for gang PvP they are not good for a solo pilot to be flying around in 0.0. | ||

i played for a few months but never really joined a decent corp, would like to give it a go. can fly covops and not much else except a punisher, but i had a brief stint as a pirate so im not that bad at pvp :p also i can scan people down pretty fast. best kill i ever had was a 1v1 with me in a frig them in a stealth bomber, but i know that's not really an achievement, i just like that his ship costed a lot more than mine. | ||

If you can fly cov ops you can fly interceptors too assuming you have Evasive Manuvering V done, which you should. A good scout is always needed over a prober, and a fast tackler is welcomed in any roam. Edit: Its easy to become good at blob warfare! And yet so many still fail =_= i've only evasive manuvering IV atm, but i could learn it within a week. couldn't decide between malediction and crusader tho  crusader is so much higher dps and slightly faster but male's bonus range on scram is just awesome, and i can't afford both. what do you think? | ||

J4s: Crusader is more of a solo inty (and an extremely good one at that), malediction is the best/one of the best fleet/tackler inties depending on who you ask. What do you mean you can't afford both, they both require Amarr Frigate V. | ||

That being said the Malediction/Crusader are both very good interceptors...The malediction can do some good things. I think he meant can't afford both as in he doesn't have the isk for both, just one or the other. If you want to help a fleet get a malediction...if you want to solo a bit more get a crusader. | ||
