The *Official* Eve Online Thread

True enough, id have had a good look at the setup if i thought id be in it for more than a weekend, but my mate is eyeing up a thorax now lol...

But i do like the Punisher.... i think armour tank for me, will go check ta net, and see what is good to use as such...

Next ship - halbinger :) hehe...
 
I was about to ditch this game after the trial about a month ago, figured the sub rate is in fact reasonable so carried on. Our alliance got war decced a few days back and I've not had so much fun in a PC Game before....
We hit the WT's high sec POS in Irjunen last night / this morning at 22:00 (POS into reinforced) and 03:00 (POS popping). Approx 40 ship fleet, was awesome, never thought I'd see, let alone be part of, anything like that especially in high sec.
 
yay, finally had a mish last night that tested the armor and reppers properly.

I agro'd the main man which in turn agro'd all three spawns at once.

I think I counted 16 caracels all lobbing missiles at me, a pile of BS all sat at around 60k and god knows how many little waspy things. :D

Trust me though, I've forgotten the name of the mission (it was all rogue drone orientated though)
 
Jim is a star, and a great help <3

Actually everyone is the OCUK channel is tbh. Couple of the other "ocuk" grouped games have turned out to be quite... difficult to get in with, unless you're some kind of elite. Eve is the opposite, and i really appreciate that!
 
Oh i did one of those missions last night where you're meant to warp into the area, grab the goods and warp out before you get owned by the 80 guys that appear when you get the goods... except i killed them all (although the named guy with the bounty took sodding ages). Does that mean is hould be doing level 3? :/

Not sure how missions have changed, I haven't played in about 1/2 a year.

But missions to ships tended to be:

lvl 1 - easy in frigate
lvl 2 - very tough in frigate but some missions doable (cruiser recommended, battlecruiser very easy)
lvl 3 - battlecruiser struggles on some missions (some exections ie. drake is a walk in park), heavy assault ships easy
lvl 4 - battleship recommended

It all really depends on which race of ship you fly too and the damage types you do and resistances you have vs the npcs. I flew Amarr and the above is what ratio I would apply to Amarr/Gallente/Minmatar but Caldari will probably find missions easier, so you may get away with trying harder missions in a smaller class ship.

Best bet is to check the mission guide sites to see what difficulty they rate and then you can judge as to whether you might be able to do a higher lvl misssion (Be aware they go out of date regularly):

Ah, i'm in a battlecruiser (ferox) with a Drake ready to go! Ah well. Good money from these level 2's until my standing increases so im in no rush to challenge myself.
 
at what point do you get to use lvl 2 agents????

im mainly a miner, quiet good at mining really, but for a change i went mission hunting, normaly help a corp mate out with lvl4's in a abbandon. But when i tried to get missions, all i get are lvl 1's lol.. now got his standing to 4.2 but the lvl2 agent in the same staion has me at 0.35, and it has not moved no matter how high i get the lvl1 agent..... maybe im doing it all wrong lol, still, the amount of salvage im getting, im happy to stay with lvl 1's lol..

then again, i do miss the bounties and agent money from lvl 4's :)

The EVE-Survival website is a god send, it's helped me through loads of missions :)

Also, level 3's and 4's are do-able in a properly fitted BC :) I can do L4's and rat in 0.0 with a Myrm that is properly fitted:

High: 5x Heavy Neutron II, 1x DLA (replace DLA with Improved Cloak II in 0.0)
Mid: 5x Cap Recharger II, 1x 10MN AB II
Low: 2x MAR II, 4x Mission/Rat specific Armor Hardener II
Rig: 3x CCC I
Drones: 4x Hammerhead II, 3x Ogre II

That spec eat's L3's and can do L4's pretty well :)

Depends on the quality of the agent. I needed 1.3 to get Level two's from a -18 quality agent.

Edit:
And yeah i use the mission guide. It is helpful. i chop and change my missile types depending on what i'm facing in the mission. I'm not worried about changing my shield set-up just yet since i dont take enough damage anyway, but by level 3 i'll probably pay mor attention.

I called it a night at 1am last night... I remember why I don't bother mining now.

Quick check on the omber I did manage to mine and it's worth only 2.5 MIL..

Thanks for the IG chat, it kept me awake :)
 
Well I've signed back up for a month to see what it's like after about 2 years out of the game. Fingers crossed some of my old corp mates are still around

Sold the Bhaalgorn and now I'm quite rich again :)
 
Nokinidea - if your going to mine anything, get veld. Its the best payer - also - dont sell in rock form, get it refined and sell on...

Are you using a hulk yet?

lvl2 agent for me is lvl2 Qual 16 hehe... maybe why i need more rep, still 4.2 with a lvl 1 agent i thought would be enough and the fact it isnt even moving his rep up is a bit alarming... moved to a trading npc corp now to do missions, this is a lvl 1 qual 16, such a big difference in rewards!

love this game, although i only play weekends mind... keeps it fresh.
 
I am not a miner and don't intend mining anything for a loooooooooooong time, so no, I have not got a hulk and don't intend buying one either.

I refitted the BS. :D
