Industrials are boring and there has to be a limitation on it to stop abuse. If not being able to fly a transport ship and move space goods around on a trial is too restricted, despite all the PvP being open to you, you're a strange person.

I wonder, what do you do except for PvP? I have played EvE for two years, a few months at a time, but actually never PvPed. Except those times I thought I should save some time to go through low sec and got killed by a gate camper. Or when I was exploring and got owned by a curse... But none that I picked myself. I am a bit intressted in EVE PvP but other then that, do you guys go WH exploring, missioning or anyting similar?

We PvP as a corp. We do anything else we want to do in our own spare time. There are some of us that mission, some of us that market pvp, some that watch the contract screen 24/7, some that scam, some that infiltrate other corps to steal their stuff, some that do exploration, etc etc. And we do most of it better than 95% of EVE.

god, i wish i had the time for this...

I am sure alot of people already mentioned it in the start, but this has got to be one of the best Thread names ever

Sadly I don't think anyone has, but we've known all along.

Sounds good, I love exploring, but PvP with a corp sounds awesome aswell.

Industrials are the only true limit to the trial, and it is mandatory to prevent abuse as someone said a few posts back.
The tutorials are relatively new, dont worry about them - It gave me a shield booster in like the second mission on my newer alt and told me to equip it even though i needed to buy the skill for more than ten times what i had in my wallet, and then train it for 20 minutes or so.
Shit like that happens when they constantly update the tutorials to keep newer players happy, but almost nobody wants to test them

People spamming trial accounts to get a bunch of t1 haulers makes no sense.

You do have the time for it.
I'm working a full time job, a part time job, and I just started playing a month and a half ago. I just made accounts 2 and 3 today, because I actually need them to do what I want to do. And I can quite easily pay for them already (through the use of the market and industry), even though I'm still a month away from a decent ship capable of giving me a stable income from missioning.....
You'd be surprised how little time you actually need for this game. And all I've invested is just purchasing my first account (was sick of not being able to use industrials during the trial).

Eve is the one game that sounds really cool in concept to me, but when I play, I'm generally pretty bored. I do however, have a deep respect for ccp's ability to make clips on youtube, they have some gorgeous videos on their channel.

Wow I definitely have missed the last 5 pages of this thread O.o
There were like 3 chances to bash kwark too, I am very sad now.
And to answer a general question, yes, salvaging on the second day of your trial will make you more isk/hour than most people will be making in their 2nd-3rd month, maybe more, (if they do something besides mine) of playing. I think its pretty comparable to the best mining you could ever do.

CCP does indeed make amazing videos.

I tried playing this game using my 14 day trial, had no flippin clue on what to do LOL. Pity that was quite some time ago, and that time i didn't know about TL >.<

Is there an option/mod that lets you turn off all sound, but an alarm will go off if an enemy is within range? I find myself alt tabbing a lot in this game when farming, but it would be annoying if you alt tab back to suddenly find yourself dead..

By the sound of it you don't think this is a problem. And I don't have any experience to tell otherwise. But I would think for instance, if you're mining in a low security area, someone else jumps in and frags you, and you don't even notice it because you're alt tabbed could be a problem?

Was trying to figure out what you meant by within range. Range could be on grid, on dscan, within 100km, wasn't sure.
But no, there is no such thing. Best you can do is set your shield alert sound to alarm at 95% so you can be alerted upon any damage. But by then you usually can't escape.
I am trying very hard not to roll my eyes at you but honestly best advice I can give is...don't mine in lowsec and don't alt-tab in lowsec.

Better advice is Don't Mine.
