The *Official* Eve Online Thread

Normally when you warp to a gate, if you use an instajump and end up actually right in the gate, you get ejected (bounced) out. I warped to a gate earlier and ended up right smack in the middle of one of the hoops. The ship bounced around for about 30 seconds and then stabilised.



How good is that, right in the middle of the gate - You can see that someone else was jumping as I captured the second one :)

we turn up with 15 people and PA still stay docked, so now we are killing off every pos they have
 
Hey guys

Finally decided to try this game out. How long are the trials? Can you get longer ones using a buddy invite? (If these exist!?).

I take it the usual tips and hints apply - work your way through tutorials etc etc?

See you soon :)
 
Hiya, the trials are all 14 days and theres no other way to get a longer one as far as I know. Your best bet is to play around and learn the ropes, do take care over character creation as it can affect you down the line in terms of time spent training. Combat characters need good perception and willpower starting with 10+ in these is good and thats not only for PVP. Your navigation and spaceship skills all use those attributes.

A good tip might be to play one trial, have a go at mining, missioning, buy a clone and insurance, fly around low sec, explore! and then make another, transfer over your isk and ships and to start another one with the attributes which suit the style of game you prefer.

I'm always wishing i didnt select the miner starting character , good job memory is the attribute for drones :p
 
There is a buddy trial that is 14 days. Leave your email addy and im sure someone will sort you out with one.

As for hints and tips, there is a good tutorial however the real learning doesn't come until you get into space yourself and fly around for a few weeks. Get the jist of things, who likes who, who shoots who, where you can and can't go etc.
 
Just tried to log onto the Eve site but it appears to be down to me. Maybe due to the downtime or the fact that my internet is playing up. Will try again soon.
 
11am-12 is just for maintenance. 1 hour every day prevents going down for say half a day every week. :)

I imagine they clean up the database etc during the down time. Also things like outposts appear etc.
