Must say, I'm tempted to re-sub now, given how the universe has changed. However, every time I play I end up either salvaging, ratting, or involved in some massive fleet op where I feel useless. As it is, I can fly BCs, Stealth Bombers (I know, I know) and I'm pretty close to field command ships iirc. What I'd like to do would be flying with a small gang into enemy territory to find targets of opportunity. No one else ever seemed interested, though - it was mine/rat or giant fleet ops. Has this changed, since we're not at war with a massive alliance now?
Actually it sounds like you'd like Black Ops. Although they operate mostly solo. I'd recommend getting a few disposable ships and seeing what kind of havoc you can go cause while training up other skills to get into T2 ships like the vaga.
Hell one guy with your mindset can fuck up an entire solar system of enemies. You'll die... a lot, but after awhile you'll get the hang of it, and with the T2 ships, it'll be that much more fulfilling.
What is not awesome? Forgetting to bump the clone back up after podjumping, and then getting gangbanged by a 15-man inty/hac gang that was waiting one system over. Bye bye 1,024,000 sp off Gallente BS V

So i reactivated my account a week or so ago and I'm looking to join up with Merch industrials. I checked the old thread but are the stations outdated as far as offices which you can apply at? I'm in Slays VII atm and I dont see an office here.
Also the name is Rephern Muare in eve.

Well so far everything in Apocrypha seems pretty awesome. Loving the new graphics and animations, especially jumping through gates. Even salvaging has an animation now!
so now that I'm done with the tutorial(s), (I only did the military one) what should I do now? also I want to use my rifter now so I'm training up for it. jesus I going through this before but I can't remember what I did differently.

Find agents and do more missions. It's boring, but also the best way to make isk when you are a new character. Also, start shopping around for corps to join. That will provide some entertainment and (hopefully) other people to do missions with.
join merch industrial, send deadly sherpa a message or just chat in the corp chatroom and ask if someone can toss you newbie isk
Then play around with the toys you can buy and lose a few ships flying around delve/empire/period basis. That's the best way you can get a feel for what you'd like to do in game.
Unfortuately I don't know what to do... I suppose I shall wait and only be able to see one message on the Merch Industrial forums until I have learned.

The only advice you need about EVE is to not be a little bitch. Get ready to die a lot and don't be afraid to jump in head first.
Also don't fly T2 ships unless you love throwing away ISK.

Yep, just wait for your acceptance to corp, then pod jump to our new home. And tell folks you're a broke newbie, you'll get money. Then buy and learn the skills to at least fly our throwaway rifters while you work on more skills to make money.

Just to be clear, Black Ops flys in small gangs(5-20), not solo.

Yeah, make sure to repeatedly tell people you're a broke newbie. They'll throw tons of cash at you (tons of cash for a newbie anyways, it apparently doesn't phase them one bit) and you'll be able to fly rifters for forever and ever. Also, don't ever be afraid to ask questions. Most of the time these guys are patient as hell and will take the time to explain everything to you until you completely understand.
I'm Caldari and the only thing i seem to be able to buy/fly out of C3 is a Kestrel. The moment I undocked about 2 minutes of just checking what other ships look like in-game outside of the station, I get jumped by an enemy sitting like 8km from the station! he two shots me and I'm just like "uh... I guess this is EVE."
except - christ what a waste of money. If i literally stand no chance out in 0.0 sec space, why should I even be here? Shouldn't I be trying to earn newbie money in empire space, if not for getting a feel for reaction times and battle situations through missions?

Because
1. You will learn a LOT faster in 0.0 than you will anywhere else - you will only learn pvp effectively by doing pvp, not missions,
2. You will get a LOT more money just following a battleship around salvaging for them in a rifter or Kestrel, which you can be able to do in about a day maximum, and \
3. losing rifters or any frigate is effectively free. The corp subsidizes them since they are so cheap anyway, so if you insure at platinum, when it gets blown up it will give you enough money to buy another one and insure it.
Losing frigates is a badge of honor. Go out and get as many blown up as it takes to learn how to fly them effectively.
so there are tech I ships... which ships are these? Are there tech I ships with identical tech II versions that are more powerful/role changing?
Are there ships that are exclusively tech II? What is tech III? Is it new or something?
Tech2 ships are based off of Tech1 ship hulls, so they all look just about the same (Usually a tech2 ship has a different colored hull). Tech 3 ships are a completely different type of ship. More info here.
As for the caldari frigs, drop the kestrel for now. Pick up a merlin, then train propulsion jamming and high speed maneuvering (you only need them trained to level 1). That will give you a decent "tackler" that you can use within fleets.

actually insuring it, subtracting what i seem to pay down on the kestrel (60k) versus my payout (a little above 250k), really only gets me just under 200k isk back from a THREE MILLION DOLLAR ship purchase from c3
the newbie ships are expensive at c3, but, I'm sure there are people that are aware of that.

This makes me very sad. I HAD a merlin way back in empire space and i was highly urged to leave it and kill myself to respawn out in 0.0 sec.
I really miss that merlin - it was the first ship i earned myself that really felt like "yea I can actually do a few things with this baby."

That was the best way to get you out to no sec. Chances are that if you tried to travel out there with the merlin you would have been ganked along the way anyways. Just get one from the corp (if they have a free ship program) or off of the market.

there does seem to be some sort of flesh reaper pvp free ship program... but learning about it requires access to the merchi forums, which though I have messaged who I am supposed to in-game, have yet to be given forum access.
The learning curve picture is accurate. It's a sheer cliff.
3 million for a rifter is someone relisting to be an ass. Don't buy it.
If you are on trial account, ask in corp chat for someone to give you a ship. If you are paying player, Open Contracts and search by My Corporation. They are cheap contracts, like 196,000 isk (free after insurance) instead of 3million.

So, if I WERE to re-sub, would I be screwed due to the fact that I think I'm docked in e-pros? Can't really remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure all my junk was there/around there. This was... last summer.

Yes and no. You can easily get out in US prime time during the week as most of the russians are asleep. If you have a clone there and can get everything you want on 1 or 2 cloaking ships, you should be able to make it to goonspace through paragon soul without too much issue, just be careful, use the map statistics to see pilots in space and ships destroyed, and burn through.
If you've got massive stockpiles of ships and fittings, sorry, you ain't gettin all that out.

I downloaded EvEmon about 2 weeks ago, put in API key, but it seems unable to get my character data.
Now it CAN tell me server status, so some level of connection must exist.
I can only assume that my firewall is the issue, or my router (less likely?). I wondered if anyone could tell me the list of things I should check are allowed in zonealarm for evemon to work? If not, any ideas on the router possibility? It is a wrtgs54 or somesuch. Linksys.

A Goon buddy of mine are patching, debating resubbing this evening and trying to come out and app to Merch. In the mean time, I just noticed that you can now reset your attributes once a year. What do you have to do to accomplish this, and can someone link me a guide for which attributes most influence which skill trees so I can rethink everything? (16,000,000 SP or so in might be a bit late, but meh.)
so how's this space in apocrypha work- it's a couple hundred systems whose entrances randomly shift around, huh? Can you jump between systems in the apocrypha space? Could a player concievably go into apocrypha space and lie in wait, attacking nubs who decide to enter when the wormhole shifts? Could you totally send a fleet in, wait until the entrance shifts into an enemy system, and then funnel through?
