EVE Online: A study in internet spaceships and bad posts

The scanner probe thing is really cool.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
but mining sucks until you break 3+ accounts
i want to do that

Why is an imicus better than a tristan?

if it stays interesting for the next three weeks i can see subbing potentially
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.
Now what?

How so/why is that? I want my guddam space lasers
(edit) Also is there any way I can get the client in steam if I already have an account and don't want to buy it (again) through steam
Do missions or sell your shit and suicide to 0.0

*edit*
what quality/level agents should I be looking at, how do I find them, and finally, is this Sisters of EVE thing worth doing?
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
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
literally all of this can be found on the goon wiki (it is also more complicated than I care to type out/explain right now)
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
We're getting hazy on that part.
*edit*
A lot of pages in goonwiki are login-restricted and the login page is an invalid page.

Because empire is for carebare pubbies who smell funny and ride bikes

ask a director for a fleshreaper skill pack
it is a fitted rifter with a billion skill books in the hold
There's plenty of stupid shit to do with a ship (like anything I've done, ever)
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?
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
Oh, I also got the shuttle full of skill books. But that sounds like a good plan.
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).

But you can't be useful if you don't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trya1ETd9Hs&feature=related (0.0 space)

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).
or stay in empire space and join merchi, then get raped by anyone that's wardecd
but eventually become very good money
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.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
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'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.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
do what you want
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.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
only poopsock in space
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.
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
yes I did that last thing
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
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.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
although you may not be able to finish the later parts
MerchI has been getting newbies set up from step 1 for years now and we will shower you with more information and money than you'll know what to do with.
