Guys you're overlooking the most important part: dongs. I mean for real, dongs.
Also, newbies should be less worrying about making money their first couple weeks, and more spoonfed until they can make their own. We know making money sucks shit early on in regards to making money. (ps: merch fags how about you toss your newbies some money so the game is far far more enjoyable to them)
Why do you think my forum and game names are different? No one will know who the spy is, so they'll be forced to accuse every new player over and over!!

MerchI is the only corp in Eve comprised entirely of spies
gallente covops (helios) blows donkey balls. Anyone who says otherwise is a moron
oh, and for those you don't already know, sonelon is our loveable asshole of berating people. Also most likely to cause a diplomatic incident sooner or later

Mining is very boring unless you are doing it in a group while drinking while talking to people on TS.
Sadly the same can be said for alot of PVP ops.

So while I said I didn't like the general SA attitude, there were some really helpful people in the game. unfortunately, the only person I remembered from my first time playing was Endlos Null, and he outright said he didn't like me at one point, and that's when I lost interest. I kind of picked the wrong guy to bug.
With that said, yeah... that was a little more abrasive of an initiation than usual, but I have gotten that in every online game I've played. It goes with the territory, and you shouldn't let it bug you. The PA guys were alright. I just thought SA was rubbing off of them. Plus, WANG is a complete misnomer.

I'm one of the most helpful people you'll find normally, and I'm also one of the biggest assholes, so I totally fail to see what is wrong with the SA stuff :x:x

So thats why people say I remind them of you!
Except you're not helpful at all?
I actually help new people to merchi. Other then that I'm really not.

I usually give newbies 5-10M each depending on how much I have at the time. For some reason, Merch newbies are really timid about asking for handouts, or actually for anything - there was one guy who asked whether he was allowed to use the stargates, and some of them take like half an hour to cajole into salvaging wrecks because they don't want to offend people :shobon:

I just threw a newbie 15m a couple days ago because he was asking where to get frigates and being all :shobon: as fuck, and I didn't feel like walking him step by step through the processes :v

I buy their salv so they don't get ripped off by the buy orders on the market. It gets expensive sometimes when they get 150 alloyed trit bars and such.

So that's who I keep selling salvage too.

hey a new ship
it's like 5 million times better than the newbie ship
Long time PA reader, off-and-on forum lurker. The EVE threads have gotten me interested in giving the game another shot (did a 14-day trial about a year ago). I've setup another trial and am just through the tutorial. Last time I gave up on the game because I was very lost and the combat seemed pretty boring. The more I play other MMOs, the more I'm drawn back to the openness of EVE even if the combat I've personally seen wasn't that exciting.
I'm off to find a station to apply to MerchI. I am hoping you guys can help me get a better view of the game.
Well I'm going to give Eve a shot. Just rolled up a Minmatar named Yathrin D. I really like Earth and Beyond, not sure why I've never given Eve a shot.
I think we should make it a note in the OP that there really are spies out there looking to get into your corp and steal all your stuff. Merchi gets around this by not having anything of value, and being full of spies.
Since it's the top of the page, I'm going to re-iterate something important.
First, join MerchI. Or the fleet proper if you're already a goon. Either way, we are the way to go. DO NOT stay in empire and train, just get yourself some basic skills. Ask for a couple million and buy/train EVERYTHING YOU CAN, don't even train it to level 1, just cram your character full of things like prop jamming, and survey/salvaging. Just plug in as many as you can. Get salvaging to 1, then pod yourself out to e-pr0s.
The biggest reason being that the experience is totally different than running missions in empire space. Why? Because you're going to be doing things that empire players will likely never see or do, and only hear about through totally mis-informed second hand stories. We take things like hiding in pos', using jumpbridges (our beloved, jewel encrusted jewper highway), getting jump bridged, opening cynos, and seeing a cornucopia of ships in fleets and gangs in sizes that most would consider a 'fleet', while to us 30+ pilots is a small gang. Then, Shrike appears in local, 0km from the gate.
Take last night. It was Daveydweebs' birthday, so we hop in some ships and head out on a suicide op. After flying 20+ jumps to catch up with them, I overshoot since hurr I forgot ts, and sit in a system waiting, get a tackle on a hostile interdictor. I end up blowing apart by the time reinforcements get in, but they kill the guy anyways. We're composed of some vets, and several newbies. I keep listening on TS, and a couple jumps later a cyno opens in system.
Even that alone is something most players will never see, let alone doing things like getting to see/be assigned fighters by carriers and go fighter bombing, or dread fleets taking down a pos or if you're lucky, cyno'ing in ontop of a mothership or titan, or being able to go on combat ops on a daily basis.
I was at a lan, and everyone had difficulty understanding that a couple day old player can be a useful asset in a fleet - no grinding to 20 or 70, no need for the best gear, you can be flying with the rest of us within days. And if you want to be another Hrin (the MerchI pilot that decloaked GoonFleet's first titan kill), you can fly interdictors relatively quickly.
Besides, who doesn't love the ability to bubble your own fleet?
But, yes, you are flying with goons. If you're the sensitive type, or can't take harsh (yet generally good natured) joking and trolling, don't bother flying out. You're going to be living in goon country, flying on goon ops, and relying on them for a lot of various things.
And several of us here are already goons, so we're already used to the master culture.
what should I train first? I've never been a soldier before. Just rolling out with my startup crapship and WeakFuckingGun#38855907
also i promise not to ask what to train every 5 minutes
lets just hope the first thing you learn is to not roll amarr :P
Syk0 > Lets see. First I got invaded by the goons. Then I became allied with the goons. Then betrayed the goons. Then fought the goons, then betrayed the people I was with against the goons to partner with a goon friendly, and now a goon.
Now, I need about two million to afford my clones and about 8 more million to fit a functional arbi. Anyone willing to loan some isk?

basic skills and what they do

but very good.
Either way, im going to play more later, i have to do other shit now.
No really, we are full of spies.
Zhynn will be played again...THE BAD SPY RETURNS!
(well, damn. Seems my account ran out)
If so post what you know or where I can go look it up. And if you say google I cut you, I tried it already.
Black ops Battleships and, uh, heavy interdictors was it?
just applied
