Well, I think EvE is so much more worth it than WoW or anything else. EvE is worth it, trust me (and the 250,000 other ppl that play EvE).

Ohhh... I've been lied to. So you can dock dreds, that's nice to know.Theo Samaritan post=9.69970.677940 said:
Heh, guess there aren't many cap ships left in high sec after they moved all the big shipyards into low sec.
Mining in one...
That must scare the willies out of anyone mining in anything short of a Rorqual.
...which you can't get in high sec either. Man I need to get my cap ship knowledge up to scratch.
Ah, you're doing it SO wrong, my friend. Behold, the easy way to get to those tasty, tasty floating rocks:Copter400 post=9.69970.679368 said:
- Bring a mining craft and a quick scout craft to a good mining system with a hauler
- Dock at a station that has ore processing facilities; make sure that it has a good return rate and you have good reputation with them
- Fly the scout craft out to several of the belts in a row
- Bookmark any good-looking rocks you happen across
- Return to station; get in your mining craft
- Do a warp-to-zero on any of your bookmarked asteroids
- Nibble those rocks to oblivion
If you're just warping a mining ship (especially one of the ORE ones) into a belt and flying towards the rocks manually... sheesh, that's like trying to win the <a href=http://www.lemans.org/accueil/index_gb.html>Le Mans in a garbage truck.
Also, why are you autopiloting anywhere? Warp to zero! The autopilot is DESIGNED to make trips longer- they don't want people walking away from the computer for 45 minutes while their ship cruises the cosmos.
You're doing it all wrong.
Getting a Rokh and outfitting it with tech 2 modules: about 200 million ISK
Getting all the skills for a Leviathan and its modules: about 500 million ISK
Getting a fully outfitted Caldari Leviathan: about 1.5 billion ISK
Flying your leviathan and its corporate issued fleet randomly around your enemy's star systems: Priceless

Rorquals dont mine...Singing Gremlin post=9.69970.679433 said:
As for people saying that EVE would be better if your ship wasn't destroyed thats fair enough it's your view, but if CCP did that they would lose alot of its community.
How about mining with a titan? With a full fleet of battlecrusiers guarding him.Singing Gremlin post=9.69970.679433 said:
And many companys would go bankrupt because of their goods/services woudn't be needed much.Theo Samaritan post=9.69970.679968 said:
No, ok. But they head mining ops, so which not physically mining it's the only verb really applicable to em.Theo Samaritan post=9.69970.679968 said:
As far as I'm aware.
I might be really digging myself into a hole here.
And Battlecruisers? Tier 3 battleships! With 8 mining lasers each! And hordes of drones!
Or highest tier possible, (Best)ORE ships with strip mining lasers+(Can drone bays be upgraded?) Drones.Singing Gremlin post=9.69970.679983 said:
I played it for about half an hour, and even after the tutorial bit I was still horribly confused as how to do anything
Dronebays cannot be upgraded, a Titan mining would be a fatal mistake (although they can get about 360m3/min) and the verb for a rorqual is commandingBulletinmybrain post=9.69970.679990 said:
Or foreman if hes geared to provide bonuses to miners..Theo Samaritan post=9.69970.680003 said:Dronebays cannot be upgraded, a Titan mining would be a fatal mistake (although they can get about 360m3/min) and the verb for a rorqual is commandingBulletinmybrain post=9.69970.679990 said:
I tried EVE on one of my buddies two accounts, and now my character is around 12,000,000 skill points. He's doing well. We've just been mining whores lately, he mines with and I haul, and it works out pretty well, at least so far as to be able to buy skills/ships/outfit them. I do enjoy the game as is, but I can see some things where it could be better:
EVE using a Freelancer style combat would be much more preferrable.
Tweaking the skill system so that you don't learn at the same rate offline as online. I would rather it be less of a "time based" game. I would like skills I used, if I had them activated, would go up at a faster rate or some such thing. Or a mentor program where someone could "teach me" the skill, making the skill go up at a higher rate than normal. Or implement multiple systems. There should be something done to improve skill learning rate.
I would like to be able to customize the ships, at the very least having a paint scheme and you corps logo on the side with the name of the ship would be nice. Optimally I would like to be able to "design" ships, using parts that differentiate the races, so that you can make your own class of battlecruiser or some such thing.
Other than that, I'd have to say that EVE has come the closest to being a "perfect" MMO. I wish more MMOs would take a few chances to try something different for a change rather than all emulating WoW and trying to steal the same customers...

Two years and counting here. I love the backstory and RP scene. Factional warfare is great, too.
Matar victor!

I think everyone in EvE would like to be able to customize the paint job of ships and even create your own ships from scratch, but CCP is busy with Ambulation for the time being.
First point - No no no. That would lead to grinding. Which is whatmakes EVE so unique, nowadays, it's grindless.Lord_Jaroh post=9.69970.682485 said:
Second point - Also no. Porn and moderation. I'd much prefer some skinning competitions, where you design a skin for a ship,and it might get put in the game. (Obvious)
