    So it's really not even better for specialized mining? That's disappointing.


    The scanner probe thing is really cool.

    exploration can lead to good mining sites,

    but mining sucks until you break 3+ accounts

    Exploring in caldari/amarr high sec for radar exploration sites are not only doable in a Heron, with 1 account, but actually generate 5-20m per site. It's how I made money before joining Merch. Train hacking, hop in a heron/vigil/magnate/imicus, and your set (with a codebreaker).

    thats a lot. i only have two million. and I just got an Imicus.

    Why is an imicus better than a tristan?

    Imicus gets scanning bonus, which will be necessary to augment your puny newbie skills. You should try to train towards probe-enhancing t1 rigs as well. Most of the scanning skills and hacking will take a couple days to learn max.

    they require really good capacitor skills and fitting skills to use
    you need to understand traversal and how tracking works
    their ships aren't very good for solo/small gang pvp until WAY higher skills
    their mission running ability sucks dick until you get to bses and t2 gear
    they can't really rat guristas for shit

    a 50 jump journey that you absolutely will NOT survive by the way

    hell, even if it was just 10 jumps from empire space you would almost certainly get raped by gate campers and high sec space won't save you if they're in an alliance that is officially at war with our alliance because security will NOT respond

    you'll just be dead and out a ship

    So if I join the corp, there is a reasonable expectation that some ship belonging to me will be remotely useful in some activity at any given point?

    Where is the Corp at? Is the corp *actually* in 0 sec space, or is it just in a high sec area that is far away from me?

    The corp really is actually in 0.0 space; UEJX and MZ1E if I remember correctly.

    And yes, you can be remotely useful in some activity if you can at least fly a Rifter and use a web and warp disruptor (and if you can't, it doesn't take long to train up to all of that).

    I'm pretty sure they still give out free (or almost free) Rifters to people and newbies get lots of money thrown at them. Plus they can help you with knowing what skills to train to get into other, bigger ships that you want to fly (whichever ones those happen to be).

    So are the immediate merch HQ areas fairly safe?

    You make it sound like joining merch and staying in empire space still is pretty risky.

    Most of my playing, particularly on weekdays while i work, will mostly be mining and other stuff I don't have to keep my eye on every waking second.

    I don't know why we should try so hard to convince you of something you seem very against doing
    if you don't want to join merchi and would rather stay in empire space even though everyone that's played the game is telling you otherwise, then just ignore our advice and do what you want

    I dont know what you're talking about.

    I'm asking pretty fair questions and I get a lot half answers and esoteric babble. It's really compelling.


    "Sell all your stuff and suicide run to remote space" requires some qualification other than "just do it you idiot". Sorry.

    He just doesn't understand that losing a frigate is not that big of a deal

    Jasconius frigates like rifters and shit are a dime a dozen and that stuff you got from the missions is easily replaceable. You're money will stay with you so just sell all your stuff, set a clone to the nearest outpost and blow up your pod. Believe me this is what everyone does.

    basically

    Step 1) get into the corp

    Step 2) set your clone to one of the suggested outposts

    Step 3) blow yourself up

    Step 4) ask for the usual newbie stuff, you will get about 20 mil + skill books and maybe a ship

    Step 5) ????

    Step 6) Profit



    Doing step 1 and trying to stay in empire space is just asking to get blown up, apparently.

    This is literally it.

    You will be joining a corp of people that are completely self-sustaining, ask around and you will be able to get new ships and parts for a mere fraction of the price compared to Jita. Newbees are the future, and I'm sure you can make an easy 300mil isk by singing on TS

    Thank you Waffle Mous. It makes sense now. That was very helpful.

    I will do it soon. I want to finish this quest thing I am on. It says it is "epic".

    I submitted an application in the meantime. My character name is Jasc O'Nius because I lack creativity and wit.
