- READ THIS SHIT NEWBROS:
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- First off, ask for a trial invite in the thread and include an email address.
- You get a 30 day trial whether or not you use an invite - but if you use an
- invite and subscribe, your inviter gets a PLEX, which he can sell and split
- with you (significant cash for a newbro).
- But remember! There is no way to track down who invited you unless he tells
- you in the invite email - so don't accept an invite unless the email includes
- a contact name!
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- Join the in-game chat channel "/v/ bros". There is no official /v/vg/ corp,
- though there are a few corps/alliances with a decent number of /v/vg/ players.
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- >Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
- If you have to ask, you can't do it.
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- >I just started, what should I do?
- Mess with the Opportunities, then find the Career Agents and run ALL of their
- missions (yes, run the mining missions even if you're planning to pvp, the
- industry missions even if you're planning to explore, etc); they give you ISK,
- ships, skillbooks and teach you the basics.
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- >Is it too late to get into EVE?
- No.
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- >You have to have high SP to play EVE, so it's too late.
- This is incorrect on many levels.
- 1) Anyone can be useful with even under 1M SP, and there is nothing stopping
- you from doing some cheap T1 frig solo pvp, which some argue is some of the
- most fun to be had in the game. A tackler and scout is a necessary addition to
- any small, medium or large sized gang, and you can scout in a rookie ship.
- Specializing 1M SP in the right place can beat 100M SP in the wrong place. Not
- to mention that new players can get into very useful (and arguably
- overpowered) ewar and logistics frigates/cruisers very fast.
- 2) SP does NOT equate skill. Skill comes through experience, not having
- overpowered ships, characters and implants. Someone with 100M+ SP, a high
- grade slave set and a full officer fit can be killed by a new player under the
- right circumstances. And easily by a group of new players. 3) If you are so
- concerned about SP, you can simply buy a high SP character on the bazaar. P2W?
- Just make enough isk to afford it.
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- >What is a PLEX?
- PLEX is short for 30 Day Concord Pilot License Extension. It's an in-game item
- that can be used to pay for your subscription without using more traditional
- payment methods.
- EVE players can pay for their account with in-game money, ISK, by buying
- PLEXes off the market. When you sign up for a trial via an invite link, the
- person who invited you can get transferred a PLEX if you upgrade to a paying
- subscription, and he can then sell it and transfer funds to you, which can be
- a great asset for a new player.
- _______________________________________________________________________________
- >A primer as to why /eog/ does not need tripcodes, -fags and -friends
- In EVE online, the meta of who you are, your corp, what alliance you belong
- to, your history, and what you personally have done is important. Therefore,
- each post will never be judged on its weight alone, but on who posted it. Each
- post will have needless amounts of meta which will throw off actual game
- discussion. Say a hisec carebear has an opinion? Yell at him for mining.
- Someone in nullsec? Make fun of him for being a nullbabby. Someone in X shitty
- alliance? Make fun of them and disregard their post.
- In addition to the fact that in earlier threads (like last year) 90% of the
- posts would be only 3-4 people, it would magnify the shitposting to a grand
- degree. People would simply post to rile people up (hello mr. unclaimed) and
- to ignite shitposting (we already have enough of this with race).
- So it goes beyond the whole '4chan hates trips' thing. It doesn't matter
- whether in this particular thread *you* make some 'quality' posts. We've
- consistently yelled at trips until they stop, because without this we descend
- to become the tripfag circlejerk that plagues /vg/ (though apparently
- moderation is kicking up, I don't know since this is the only /vg/ thread I
- visit on a regular basis)
- So, in short, that's why. If you want to post with your name, there is kugu,
- FHC, hell the fucking news sites and god forbid eve-o

- Starter PvP guide:
- There's close-range play (for frigates, some 1km-14km); and there's keeping
- range (with the option for disengage and for mitigating damage through
- proximity and powerful modules).
- It's probably best starting out with videos of one of the most interesting
- playstyles, manual piloting. Here's a video discussing real flight techniques
- and their relevance in-game.

- Extras:
- [YouTube] Kiting Frigate Solo PVP (feat. Comet & Slicer)
- https://youtu.be/WGYxkSz7HFI
- (After the basics from the first video, it's helpful watching the mouse on the
- range-rulers for an idea of the angle that its producing. Spoiler: it's
- double-clicking in space, like a 3D ARPG.)
- [YouTube] The Encore (Scorchlight)

- This is a video on one of those "powerful modules" which can even out the
- learning experience, just like figuring how to approach (increasing
- transversal, how "click-approach" ships act, where to click the orbit button),
- and knowing which ships it effects most.
- [YouTube] Tracking Disruption 101 (Slasher and Condor solo PvP)
- https://youtu.be/5O9kcinTEbE
- ----
- Here are some trial-account PvP videos. They are mostly nullsec play, where
- many of the frigates are Interceptors - less tanky / gimmicky / blingy fit
- than frigates from faction-warfare space.

- [YouTube] Eve is Easy - 20 Day Old Amarr Character Executioner PvP
- https://youtu.be/BvOB4KXYk-o?t=23m23s

- Lastly, this video shows the flow of manual flight and discusses how the
- light-tackle role is one of the most over-suggested playstyles.

- >What do I train / fly?
- Here's a fit & skillqueue to complete through faction warfare small complexes:
- Fitting: 5MN Stab/Scram Blaster Catalyst ~ 2mil

- >Where do I find fights?
- If you are looking for PvP, you will find people most places in lowsec, but
- faction warfare space (use dotlan / the faction warfare windows in-client)
- will have more people and more places for you to hide.
- If you are wanting to make money, a defensive plex (in your own faction's
- space) is at best (99.9% contest) 3/4 the value of the equivalently sized
- offensive plex and at worst (0% contest) has no payout at all. Offensive
- plexes have a flat payout based on size; contest level doesn't matter.
