The *Official* Eve Online Thread

Yeah i think you used to have to try and triangulate for scanning signatures, but the process has been greatly simplified, or so i've heard as i never actually did scanning before the apoc expansion.

There are some youtube vids out there of how to scan, which prove very helpful including some tips and tricks to help speed things up. Sometimes scanning can be laborious when you have like 40 sigs or something ridiculous, and sometimes it's very exciting, like when you have targets in your system and you have to combat scan them down without being seen.

Combat scanning of course is pretty much the same, except you use different probes and most experienced combat scanners only use them at the very last minute to maintain the element of surprise, which is essential in wormhole warfare.

And yeah drop by the ocuk channel, there should be some alliance members there. I won't be on much this weekend, but will be on sunday at some point, at which i would really like to have a chat with you, shadowman if you're resubbing this week, if not it can wait no problems.

Oh also, i'm sure one of you is Utatil? who's been basically climbing up the learning cliff of eve, it's always nice to have new people join this game.
 
You still need to triangulate (or quadrangulate (sp?)). Hence why you need a minimum of 4 probes. If you get 99.9% strength, it means you have a strong enough signal, but haven't triangulated properly. Old style probes came in just as I left eve, and were gone by the time i got back but sound damn confusing!

Best probing advice - watch the CCP youtube tutorial.

I am hoping to resub on Sunday but have a wedding to attend on Saturday + picking up my dad from EMA at 4:30 am so will be awake for about 20 odd hours and driving 300 miles in 1 day too.

Assuming I am awake at all on Sunday I should be on in the evening. Shame I didnt take CCP up on the 5 day resub for free as looking through asset lists I will need to sub both accounts for at least 1 month to get everything I need transferred and assuming its still there I will need to dismantle my research POS.
 
Client downloaded last night and managed to sort out getting my Tengu back this week. Should get the sub sorted shortly and get online tonight/tomorrow. Depends when I can find the time and not worth wasting a day of sub when I cannot play.
 
No worries mate, looks like you've got most of the things done. I've got fellow corpies to look out for you on arrival, just let them know who you are.

Will be looking forward to giving you the low down on all things ocuk alliance wise.
 
I've just installed the client again too, any OCUK corps around that don't mind a -6 sec character? Too much time fighting in lo-sec:D

Not played much in over a year so just trying to get back up to speed...

Nice work lol :D
TXSI doesn't have any rules against players with negative sec status, although I don't think we have anyone as low as -6!

What sort of stuff do you spend your time doing other than pvping in low sec?

Well I've been playing on and off since 2003, currently at about 50mill SP. Tried most things really, my last forray was into low sec fighting hence the -6;) I have been positive sec for the other 6 or so years. My main interest is really pvp as I'm not too excited by mining and production, at least not any more!

Currently I can fly most Minnie and Amarr up to BS's. Last thing I was messing around with was a few Pilgrims. Oh and I also have a couple of alts including a maxed out Damnation pilot but I may sell them off seeing as how much subs are these days:eek:
 
Subs arent too bad. 300mil for a 30day PLEX when I was playing last and I cannot see them going much higher. Make 10mil a day and you should be sorted.

Still not had a chance to get my chars online. Still hoping for this week and the Mrs is working Sunday night so will 99% be on a lot of that.

Hi folks. I want to get back into EVE but I've totally forgotten the mechanics of the game, and would to get a refresh from somewhere before I start. Any suggestions please?

(I was a novice when I started but I didnt play much simply due to lack of time, but I would like to start up again).

Play through the in-game tutorials again, they're apparantly pretty good these days.
 
zomg how true is this...
