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..

If you aren't Kwark, then you don't want to tab out in a case where there is a possibility of something suddenly happening before you will have tabbed back in. Usually you will be fine if you alt tab frequently, even in lowsec, as long as you check local and your dscan every time. If you are mining in lowsec (dont do that) you will want to be aligned, but really there's always the chance of suddenly rapier, or anything else cloaky, and if you arent tabbed in to hit the warp button before they can lock, you will die.

I've been playing Faction-mod minecraft for a while, and I've been looking for something more. Is it possible to be a merchant who rolls around in an apocalyptic battlecruiser, destroying all who buy my product from the wrong source with a fist of steel? Because that is what I wish to do.

Personally I would rather kill those who bought from me, so that they have to buy even more from me.

That would not be beneficial to business... IF I were to do that, it could only be infrequently, and only on big-ticket deals, while also being done by mercenaries hired by a rival company who I would then attack. Is that how things work?

Can't help but feel like this is one of those schemes were we're playing just to benefit the higher few.

I hear this game is pretty hard to start without rich friends to support you? Looks like this would be a good opportunity.

I tried out EVE about half a year ago - it didn't turn out to be my cup of tea, but the TL members were extremely helpful and (mostly) patient with getting newbies started. I'd highly recommend anyone interested in the game to take advantage of the opportunity these guys are offering, working through the steep learning curve and unforgiving nature of the game is way more enjoyable when you have help.
If you ban me, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Really really easy to learn, hard to master. There are a lot of mechanics that affect damage output in different ways and generally quite a bit of math in that respect, but you can fly reasonably well (80+% possible damage output) i think by just orbiting things and hitting f1 once in a while.


In terms of actual war, roaming, or finding pvp targets, things can get a whole lot more complicated though

You mean you play to benefit us, the 'veterans'? Nope.

We don't gain much by have you join. It would take most of us only about an hour or two to 'farm' the money that we save by having you join via the buddy program. We are truly just trying to make more people aware of this game.

Sure we also love having more rifters with us, but we also train those rifters up. We fully expect every rifter pilot to be flying a drake or whatever (one of them bigger ships) by about two months after they start playing. That time frame is primarily because of the time taken to train the necessary skills to fly a proper drake, not because 'we want more suicide tackle'.

If you are proactive and looking for action, you will find plenty of action in your rifter. The Spawning Pool is great for that because they have so many new people that they regularly roam in their cheap ships and have great fun while doing so. Sometimes they kill shit, sometimes they don't. Who cares? They're learning while doing it and we give the ships out for free.

Do you mean is it easy enough to learn? Technically combat could just involve clicking on a target and pressing f1. But it takes a while to figure out what is going on when the fleet commander is giving orders. At the beginning you may just feel 'lost' during fleet fights, without a clue what is going on. That is normal. Eventually though you'll get a hang for it. For me I'd say it took about a month and a half before I could get my head around all the fleet fights. That's why we put you in a rifter for that month and a half - gives you time to figure out shit before you start flying bigger and more expensive ships. That's not to say you don't have an important role - we still will order you to do things for us. Just that the first few times you try to do it you probably will screw up.

Or do you mean is it easy to find fights? Well, this is one of the differences of EVE. It's not like WOW where you can just queue up for a battleground or arena and start PvPing within a couple minutes. In EVE it varies. We could roam one day, come across another huge fleet and have an amazing fight. The next day we could roam in the same area at the same time, find absolutely nothing and go home feeling rather blue-balled. Up to you whether this is a plus or minus point.

Last time I played one thing that amazed me were capital ships (a.k.a. titans). Did you guys have anything to do with any of them recently?

I've played EVE for almost 9 years now, although unfortunately not with The Hatchery. [We've actually fought a couple of your fleets from time to time ] I started where anyone does, in a rifter tackling enemy battleships and dying a lot. From there, the sky is the limit - I've flown every class of ship in the game, from interceptors to titans, and fought in every region in the game. Every time something else gets in the way, it's never long before I'm back to EVE for something important.

The one thing I would stress about EVE as it compares to other MMO's is how much it relies on player interaction. There isn't a story, or a main quest line. There is an empty world, and there are hundreds of thousands of players who live in that world and create / drive the game to where it is today. There isn't any other game on the market that can drive people to set their alarm clock for the middle of the night, simply because that's when the fight will be; or get together with 1500 of their alliance mates and invade an entire regions worth of space some Sunday afternoon.

I highly encourage anyone who is interested to try it out - the first couple of weeks are by no means the most interesting or fun, but if you can find a gem or two of exciting combat in those first weeks you'll be hooked forever.

Wow a titan pilot, that's something. How long did it take you to train the necessary skills?

Hey, this sounds really cool, i was wondering if you could talk a little more about the in-game game-time economey. How realistic is it that you will be able to pay your subscription with in game money? I dont have alot of money to spend, so if i can't support my account in game, i probably won't be able to play. How much time per week do you think you would have to spend to make enough to not pay the monthly fees?

I really appreciate you guys helping the community out like this, team liquid is really such a great site.

At the start you will need about 45hours per month to pay for the subscription. Of course this gets less and less as you get more skillpoints and are able to do better missions/exploration. I need 2 hours per month to pay for one account (i have 10 currently though )
