Kinda--im finding it hard understanding what our role is ... i logged on today to start a skill off and read the email about "would people (noobs) not enter 0.4 without an escort" ..was kinda funny but not terribly realistic.
i mean, who is gonna want to stop what they are doing and escort a noob somewhere;better yet ..i doubt people would actually ask for an escort as the good ole british reserve ensures people do not like to be a burden.
So, what do we have left to avoid losing our cruisers ? well theres the lvl 1 agent missions.... or mining in say, 0.6 or above.
oh wait we are at war! So really we can get destroyed absolutley anywhere.
iwill be on tonight so im sure ill get all the latest from dan or maybe tozmeister........
Well your role will become more substantial the more you play the the higher your skills become. We are not asking that you do not go into 0.4 for a couple of weeks, when you have had a little more experience of the game and how to use all tools necessary to prevent being ganked.
Its not a terribly unrealistic thing to ask because if the players dont gank you the npcs in the belts will chew your cruiser up in about 30 seconds, that is until you get active shield/armour hardners, even then it will be close. So its really for your own good, i dont mean to sound condecending in saying this but your not going to be able to gank anyone solo, your not going to be able to kill the npcs without serious difficulty, what is there left for you to do in 0.4?
As for the escort, there is nothing wrong with asking for an escort, personally i cant wait to get out of empire its driving me nutz. If you ever need an escort gimmie a shout and il come along.
Your right technically we can be ganked anywhere due to the wardecc, in reality there is about a 0.1% chance of you getting ganked as the war targets have either left their corp or havent logged in since it started.
Due to your charachters age, you both are kinda stuck in limbo at the moment, you dont have the experience to go into low sec confidently and you dont want to do missions, so your kinda leaving yourself at a loose end. yes missions suck and yes they are tedious, but they can teach you valuable information regarding your ships capabilities, tanking, offensive and damage, until you know those limits your going to struggle tbh. Im probably going to move back up to 0.0 by the end of the week, your more than welcome to come, but im sure you will find it even more of a chore, until you can get your skills up and start ratting on your own, sure you could do pvp but until you have a decent skill set there is no way you can pvp effectively as the hostiles come enmass and in tech 2 ships.
If you have any further concerns could you please post them on our internal forums, as that is the place that all members read and can offer advice different from mine, and a different point of view. il be on tonight so we can have a natter and find out where you guys want to be going in your eve career. Im sure most of the old heads in this thread will agree with the majority of stuff that i have said.
