Its certainly easy for someone who's been playing for a while to say. I'm just getting extremely tired of "Ok, just these skills and now I can actually start ratting... wait, now I need this... wait, now I need this... "
Ravens are a fine ship for ratting -- maybe not quite as good as the Amarr ships, but still fine. You want to be doing EM or Thermal damage against the Blood Raiders, and tanking EM/Thermal.
If you're interested in fleet fights Ravens aren't so good, but I think that both the two other Caldari BS are useful.

Problem is that your missile skills that need training for ravens are of no use to a fleet sniper Rokh. If you have them, fine, but training them on a PvP character is slowing your development*.

Yes, but they do such deliciously nasty things to any vaga or recon pilot who thinks he can solo gank a ratting raven.

not anymore more. cruise missiles to shit all damage to cruiser hulls.

Besides, even before you were still counting on the mark being both stupid. Admittedly there's a lot of stupid to go around in EVE but you're betting on him being dumber then you, which is never a good bet so far as this game is concerned.
I don't understand why a separate corporation is needed. MerchI is already very casual, doesn't require PvP, and has no requirements other than "member of PA community". Assuming Deep Crow gains any significant membership, they will be people who somehow manage to fail that meager test.
This not entirely true, it also requires that you not do anything to raise suspicion with the Goonfleet Higher Ups.
This includes, logging on to the forums with different ip addresses, being afk, using the corp channel in teamspeak for ratting, and generally being a newbie apparently. Plenty of people will fail that just by logging in.
MERCHI was a lot of fun and so was Goonswarm, however, there is a lot of paranoia and meta-gaming, and it doesn't take much to raise suspicion and be booted for being a "spy"
Don't expect MERCHI to side with you either, they do as GF dictates, as do most of the Swarm.

Shouldn't "being enthusiastic about having assigned roles" be on that list?

I do pretty much all those things*, welp....
*cept use corp TS channel, I mean fuck that place is silent as the grave.
I log on from lots of places. Home, work (which load balances over 5 outgoing lines), and various friends/relatives houses.
Haven't been bothered about it once.
Also, I finally have the ability to fly a harbinger, and being the stupid newbie that I am, I'm gonna go fly it around before I can fit the T2 hardeners. Takes 11 days before I have Hull Upgrades V and I can afford to buy a new one if it dies.
Gonna name it Comedy Lossmail just because that's probably what it will end up being.

T1 hardeners are fine for ratting (I assume that's what you're talking about). I rat with N-type hardeners, and I only have problems with neuting rats (where T2 would be worse), and some of the very high end spawns (triple Popes), where overheating my lows usually pulls me through long enough to kill one of the rats to get damage down to a more manageable level.

Yeah but I'm also bad at internet spaceships and am the kind of person who fails to notice the 15 reds who just entered local.

Comedy Lossmail indeed.
Seriously though, T1 harbinger is still excellent, just be wary on the triple BS spawns. Avoid the neuting rats, watch local, run to a POS if necessary, make large amounts of cash to buy another Harbinger. It's all good.

i have this problem
also I lost my first Retriever last night approximately an hour after climbing into it for the first time.
rats that you thought were going to be aggro'd and then turned out not to be suck.
Don't worry so bad about the neuting rats, but know which ones they are and orbit further out than they can reach. Fit beams instead of pulse and your radio will have an optimal of 33km - neuts don't reach that far, but you'll still do reasonable damage, save on cap (compared to multifreqs, anyway), and kick a fair amount of ass.
Apping in game as Steadman Lumos and on the Merch boards as Steadman. Been playing on and off for quite a while, mostly soloing missons and exploration sites, and well... it gets lonely out there. Still haven't even flown in a fleet... Just lookin for some ppl to play with that don't suck... too much...

You're clearly a spy, you signed your post, think we're competent, and you're using an inactive account.
I have already downloaded the EVE client and played the 14-day trial, and now Steam has EVE on sale for $5. If I buy through Steam, do I have to re-download the client? Can I use my character from the trial account?
Me too, which is why i finally said something. I keep seeing this thread and the title bugs the shit out of me every time i see it. It is not witty at all when it is using a word in the completely wrong context.

Hey, I've been playing internet spaceships for awhile now and want a corp to alleviate the soul-crushing lonliness of eve. I've read penny arcade for years but never bothered to create a forum acount until now, so MerchI is out, but can someone tell me how to contact Deepcrows ingame?

That's why the word is being used, because it's in the wrong context. Also because stupid dipshits will see it and think it means domination and the title will make sense to them and if they say something about it we get to mock them for being retards.
So Steam is having EVE Online for 5 bucks, and said that it includes 30 days of game time. Does this mean that I can essentially get one month for less?

With a new account or a converted trial one. I don't think you can use it to add time to an existing account.

Refer yourself a 21 day trial.
Activate it with your steam account.
You get 30 free days, and a 51 day account, all for $5

Wow this is a really good post. Also, sweet sig. I just played through Riven again for the first time in 11 years. Only took me about 5 hours (got one hint online)
Posting cause I still got buddy codes to give out PM your email if you want one. If you get in MerchI then I will give you a fitted destroyer to salvage wrecks, terrible advice and plenty of opportunities to lose your ships in hilarious ways.

How may I obtain myself a 21 day trial? My current trial is running out rapidly, but the character inside is already in MERCH. Would it be alright if I left this character, establish a new account and rejoin MERCH using that character? Are there policies against that?

Pretty sure you have to have a full account to be able to buddy referral 21-day trials, that said, I've still got one such referral this month if you want it, just PM me an email address.
No clue if retrialing gets you fucked for MerchI, though I figure someone who knows the policy will show up in the thread sooner or later.

Just did it twice. Now i've got 60 days to decide if I want to keep playing eve or not. Or 60 days to wait for the goonfleet auth app to start working again.
