It is a sandbox game so it is what you make it.

In PvP you actually stand to lose your ship. This gives more of an adrenaline boost than any other MMO that I have played.

Where do people get ships that they put on the market? Like the massive massive ships, how do you come by them/replace them?

All ships are built by players except the free Ibis

You get a blueprint you get the materials listed you place them all in a factory slot a certain time later the ship appears fully built in your hangar.

The scales and complexities of building increase through the size and tech levels.

A Tier III cruiser has a massively more complex production chain than say a T1 battleship.

I'm thinking of purchasing eve, what's the learning curve like?

I won't lie, the learning curve is very steep, but if you do the tutorials then drop by the public ocuk channel, we're more than happy to help you along the rest of the way.

This.

I was helped for around an hour or two last night along with general chat, game is sucking me in now.

Anyone with AAA docking rights want to buy a thanny full of mods and ships in 5-N? Looking for 2b (probably worth nearer 3b), can provide a full list of everything.

Dazzy_G · 30 Jan 2011 at 20:22

How'd you manage lose that!

King4aDay · 30 Jan 2011 at 22:00

Heh, went afk for about 3 months shortly after corp relocated, came back to find all my assets in stations controlled by red dudes and no docking rights.

Dazzy_G · 30 Jan 2011 at 22:41

Ah that sucks! good luck selling it

King4aDay · 30 Jan 2011 at 22:54

Got a fully fitted/fueled/loaded/drugged/droned moros in X-7 in the north as well, 1.2b to anyone that wants it.

Dazzy_G · 30 Jan 2011 at 23:38

I've still got a Mega in X-7 not going to be seeing that again i think

Rroff · 30 Jan 2011 at 23:43

I'd have thought you'd be able to sell both of those (possibly at a slight loss) to the current occupants (or neighbours in this case?), especially a moros.

Drugs in cargo are going to make it impossible to make a contract, dunno how you will get round that without actualy being in the station....

Vimanis · 31 Jan 2011 at 13:51

Everyone uses drugs in null, i don't think there's much in terms of custom officers out there either?

Also moros doesn't use gates, so it would be hard to get caught.

King4aDay · 31 Jan 2011 at 14:17

Yeah the moros is in NPC space and I have a JC there so no issues getting it contracted. Contacted PL who are mainly living there to see if they wanted it for corp, but no answer from Viper Shizzle.

Sorry, but I feel this needs a :rolleyes:

"Calamari" response. The might Impairor is also free, and better than you crappy lolrailguns ibis. I solo killed another impairor in my own impairor last night. (granted, it was empty, and I was extremely bored, but hey!)

I have an Apoc with 2 full sets of fittings in cargo in the ass-end of eve somewhere. Somewhere even BoB didn't want to keep :s

King4aDay · 31 Jan 2011 at 17:02

Killed a crow in my velator once

I had a domi in 0.0 with drugs in the cargo, couldn't make a contract because of this.

Dunno, maybe its just a bug I was getting.

Kosmiche · 1 Feb 2011 at 12:50

Havent played this game for about 6 months

Whats changed, anything to make me resub?

-Laser- · 2 Feb 2011 at 11:11

Only major changes afaik are Incursions (mass PvE events in hisec), and the fancy new character creator:

matt1 · 2 Feb 2011 at 11:19

Additionally PI has had an overhaul, if that takes your fancy.

Looking forward to Neocom changes, hope they won't be too long.
