In this thread we talk about Eve.
*NEWSFLASH*
Last night, January 22nd 2007, Merch Industrial formed an alliance, with uh...itself.
Welcome the new allaince, We Are Nice Guys, or <WANG> as our alliance ticker so proudly states.
Torwards the end of 2006, Kali 1, known as Revelations, was introduced on Tranquility, the single shard shared by all Eve players. Kali 2 and 3 will follow throughout the year, bringing even more eagerly awaited additions to the game.
They also dropped a brilliant new game trailer on us with the newest expansion, showcasing many of the new ships and really setting the tone for the current atmosphere in alliance controlled territories.
Revelations trailer
Never played Eve before? Tried it before and didn't quit "get it"? Join Merch Industrial! A fine blend of manufacturing ability and combat prowess, we have expanded out from our original home in low-sec space and now maintain a presence in Alliance controlled 0.0 space.
You want to mine and build ships?
We got it.
You want to use your shrewd market sniping skills to make untold millions, even billions?
We got it.
You want to make pew pew?
We got it.
And on that note, these last few months have been a period of great change in 0.0. I present, the latest alliance map. Ascendant Frontier fell to the great Band of Brothers Advance. Interstellar Starbase Syndicate is being sacked from all sides, their once open and free outposts being annexed by the crack fleets of Dusk and Dawn and the IAC.
Current alliance control map
And now for some screencaps!
Fight the NPC hordes!
Join the industrial machine!
Trade at player built and controlled outposts!
And just rokh out in general.

Torwards the end of 2006, Kali 1, known as Revelations, was introduced on Tranquility, the single shard shared by all Eve players. Kali 2 and 3 will follow throughout the year, bringing even more eagerly awaited additions to the game.
REVELATIONS is the first of three installments in EVE Online’s second major game expansion. The first expansion, EXODUS, revealed the escalating tensions between the Empires of EVE with its first installment, Cold War. In the second installment, Red Moon Rising, a galactic arms race forged the most powerful weapons ever constructed by man.
Enter REVELATIONS, in which the empires make their final push towards the brink of war. Uncharted regions of space shall open for pilots to explore, yielding vast wealth and the untapped resources needed to feed a hungry war machine. New innovations in weapons technology will provide pilots with the means to wage the battle for supremacy in the universe of EVE.

Fixed.
They've stated they are looking into allowing people to queue ONE extra skill. Nothing is final. They are also working on web browser and cell-phone apps for changing skills.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Short version, ASCN had really disorganized leadership and wasn't even remotely prepared for a war of any size.
Long version, check this: http://www.eve-tribune.com/index.php?no=2_1&page=1
BTW, these EVE threads got me into the game in the first place, and have now inspired me to register and delurk here on the forums. Well done, all.

How about now?

it's goonfleet shit but, cmon. MI live in goonfleet controlled space >_>
My sweet, untouched Miranda
And while the seagulls are crying
We fall but our souls are flying
YES
Also that was a rad goon video
The maker's in game name is Stahlregen, and his youtube name is ChristianEthic, so if you want to say "hey thanks" or whatever, there you go. Also there's a new one out lemme find it.

Hey, why don't you play EVE god damnit.
I just end up wishing for more pirates to attack our hauler convoys, so I can go pew pew some people. :twisted:
As soon as someone was stupid enough to touch his can... pop. Hah, no good money in it but it amused the hell out of me.
My sweet, untouched Miranda

shutupshutupshutup
Not cool
most good pirates wouldn't attack a hauler convoy because a. normally the loot is terrible, b. theres gunna be enough people around to make it virtually impossible, and c. well...i actually don't have a c.
besides nothing gets your heart pumping like engaging someone who could very well kill you. Then when you make their ship go boom you feel like god
Man, I don't actually macro mine. But having a fresh trial account alt do it is the perfect bait for those suckers in empire who think they are hot shit.

I fucking hate you.
edit: That's you sneak.
Probably 10-20 of us total, I see 5 or 6 in Goonspace at any given time.
Anyone looking for pewpew, go to the official MerchI forums and find the post with the shared Goon channel (not the defense one). I haven't checked yet, but I have a feeeling we'd be welcome to pewpew some LV or whoever when Goons go messin' with suckahs.
No, I'm not posting the channel name here.
We've already had guys come on both offensive fleet ops and defense gangs. No one's going to object to having more pilots in their gang.

Awesome.
Also, that goon video was cool.
I presume Merch has their own guides for newbie character creation, but all ofyou should feel welcome to look over the Goonfleet guides as well:
http://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Basic_Character_Creation
http://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Your_Character_Portrait
http://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Recommended_Base_Stat_Builds
Those are intended for people who want to PvP heavily, they aren't industrial/commercial guides, but you still might get some use out of them.
Giganticus also posted some pretty decent guides but I have no idea what the fuck happened to them.
Man, I was loading it up and everything.
Sneak: I really enjoy the game, but if you want me to talk you out of it...
It doesn't really have much of a learning curve, it's more like a learning cliff. There is very little info available in game about the game mechanics, and even then that isn't what you need to worry about. The inter-player relationships are what will kill you, and the only way to learn how that stuff works is to figure it out for youwself.
But I think trying the 14 day trial wont kill you...

Wow. I must say the new GoonSwarm video is wicked as hell. There are some seriously amazing panned shots of POS sieges that made my jaw drop a little. I fucking LOVE the way the Naglfar looks floating around in a big fleet--just a huge monolith sticking out there looking menacing as all holy hell. Video really made me want to get in on this Great Southern War clusterfuck.
That we do. I am however working on our very own MerchI FAQ and will be stealing a lot of info straight from the GoonFleet wiki since its so uber useful.
