Really want to get into this game but find it pretty overwhelming. Any good guides you could give a newbie?

Also finding a good Corp that shares similar interests to yourself is very worthwhile. Starting off you're probably unsure of what direction you'd like to go in but don't be afraid to check out a few out until you're happy, makes the game very enjoyable.

hey colinuk I sent you an in-game mail but is it "ColinUC" it keeps defaulting to that.

Yeah finding a good corp helps a lot, just ask in the recruiment channel. jonnybase what style of play you into?

 

[JonnyBase]

Thanks for the responses guys.

In response to:

jonnybase what style of play you into?

I would say unsure - for obvious reasons. I like the idea of trading on the market, but obviously i first need some cash/assets to trade!

 

[hegemon]

The avenue I found most interesting was Exploration, scanning and finding hidden belts and complexes, can be very profitable too

I'd like to know why you payed 450M for it, when i can get one for 170M...

 

[WotDa]

what did you buy it for?

To sit in the station waiting for the right moment like he normally buys ships for.

 

[Fuzz]

Bit like my Anathema then, owned it probably 6 months, still haven't trained skills to fly it.

You're doing it wrong, you need to spend time doing the skills, then buy and fit it, and then let it sit there waiting for the right moment!

Ah yes but this one is full of shiny things.

oh plus the skills.

 

[Tachyon]

Ah yes but this one is full of shiny things.

In other words you're using it to haul Metal Scraps.

 

[V4NT0M]

Something has made me want to start playing eve again... But I sold my char so I'd have to start all over again

What's the in thing now? Blasters? Lasers?

 

[VaderDSL]

You lot seen the Quantum Rise trailer? You have to admit the trailers CCP do are impressive, if slightly skewed to the theatrical rather than in game shots.

It doesn't really provide much info but cool none the less, maybe proves that "hundreds maybe thousands" ships will be in space at once. 64 bit technology for the win.

I think there have been some 1000 player battles recently that haven't lagged all that much, but as they increase the capabilities and capacities of the server there will be the numbers to saturate the performance, until you can have millions on grid you'll always exceed server performance faster than they can increase it

Saying that, imagine 5000 versus 5000 with no lag :drool:
