    Building a Titan ? Good luck with it <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Don't expect it to last for long if you're hell-bent on destruction.

    My friend and I were talking about Eve the other day. We decided that if we ever played, our ultimate goal would be to build a Titan class ship (possibly 2), get a support fleet, and move from sector to sector destroying everything. Cleansing the entire galaxy, one system at a time.

    You might actually be able to kill things with 3 titans.

    Downloading the client right now (95%), and going to give EVE a go. Anyone has any tips/advice?

    I've also compiled a list of NS Forumites playing EVE. (Updated frequently.)

    <u><b>Active</b></u>
    [WHO]Them = "Dirk Swizzler"
    Confused = "Wilhelm Beck"
    Stakhanov = "Stakhanov" (Gallente)
    Spinviper = Anodyr
    Epidemic = "Epidemis" (Minimatar)
    ZupiCo = Kop Parberg (Gallente)

    <u><b>Status Unknown</u></b>
    NeonSpyder = Michus Danether (CEO-bad***, and Caldari to boot)
    Voogru = Voogru (Gallente)
    maxmaxx = F2C MadMaxx (Caldari)
    BlackMage = Alex Eimin (Caldari)


    <u><b>Inactive</b></u>
    Scythe = "Scytheford"
    Antifreeze = "Apollo Volton"
    Paranoia2MB = "Rainyer"
    Rellix = "Rellix"
    pip1 = sekrit


    Edit 2: Re-ordered list.

    Edit : Fixed [WHO]Them's , Stakhanov's and Spinviper's names.

    Added: Voogru, Blackmage, Maxmaxx and ZupiCo. (6:37 PM, GMT +8, 14/11/06)

    Note: Please add on to the list by telling me your faction/race as well.

    That's D<b>ir</b>k Swizzler, and anyone that needs cheap ammo can feel free to contact me in-game. So far I make just about every Light Missile, Rocket, and Small Projectile ammo there is. Starting to move into medium projectiles now.
    Small amounts for free, larger amounts at cost.


    The biggest tips I can give....
    -Make sure that any of your autopilot routes that go through less than 0.5 space don't go through a system that's a giant blip on the map when you switch to "Pod Kills in the last 24 hours".
    -Don't attempt a L2 mission in anything you're not willing to lose, because the difficulty curve is extreme.
    -Assume everything on escrow is a scam.
    -If you're going to stay with the game, learn your learning skills asap. They make a huge difference in the longer run.
    -If you're going to do commodity trading. Make sure you read up on "instas", and make sure you've got access to an automatic trade finding program, otherwise the profits are dismal.

    I doubt I'll go into commodity trading but, do you know of any "automatic trade finding" programs?

    I know I saw one around after google'ing a while, but that did some kind of automatic upload crap I didn't want. So I wrote my own.

    Correction , Stakhanov = Stakhanov (Gallente) now flying Minmatar (going to need projectile ammo again)
    Boukharine was my previous char , this one is definitive. Don't gang me up out of high sec though - my new friends may find your ship yummy <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skulk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::skulk::" border="0" alt="skulk.gif" />

    I'm tempted to try this. Unfortunately, the net connection at this apartment is unreliable and generally pretty bad. I've complained and it gets better (or not) for a while then back to the hours long lag spikes of sometimes over 1000ms ping times. to the hop an extra step past my router. They say somebody is putting out a bunch of bad traffic, it worked best when the firewalled it out, don't know why they changed back.

    If I get that fixed we'll see. I have thoughts of starting small, short term businesses by way of IPOs.

    I just thought I would check in and see what was shaking here, I talked to spinviper in game and so far he seems to be having a good time. If any one ends up in genesis look me up.

    I would come up and say hi to all you guys who started, but I'm a bad and ebil pirate. Some how this prevents me form entering safe space. But if you like I'm sure that you can swing through my area and hang out. should you need it i usually have enough prodcution capacity sitting idle to throw a few frigs and cruisers on the Barbie.

    If you are in the neighborhood of noranim, feel free and swing by the station and I'm sure an arrangements can be made.

    Finally, I'm looking for some new blood in my corp so if you feel like braving the depths of low sec, and generally having a good time, Let me know.

    Edit: gwahir, eve tends to be rather connection friendly, very few packets a minute, even in combat.

    Thus far, I've yet to see NeonSpyder online. As a matter of fact, I've only met [WHO]Them, Stakhanov, Confused and Epidemic in-game.

    heh, I think enough nsplayers have contacted him ;p ..

    I guess you could call him an eve-celeb, as he has an Opus Luxury Yacht, of which only 2 are in game. Iirc the one he has was stolen in an event when the actor ejected from it.

    My char is mini (ftw) btw, but race doesn't matter that much imo ;o

    I'm active, I was just gone the past few days due to power outage. So anyone trying to contact me in game is plum out of luck. I'm back around now though, and being naughty and political down in Catch and Immensea regions. It's going to get hot down there, hotter then it already is really.

    I've been playing EVE for past few years off and on, as "voogru".

    .. Nice to see the NS forums back, when did that happen? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":0" border="0" alt="wow.gif" />

    Oh, and I have ISK coming out my ears, so if your new and need a little startup cash, don't be afraid to ask.


    The high CSPA charge when you try to convo me is to stop ISK seller spam mails.

    always wondered whether I should give this game a try. always sounded like the learning curve was steep, it's easy to lose everything you've worked to earn, and the idea of taking real-life weeks and months for your character to 'learn' something or acquire a license or however it works sounds like too much trouble... but darn, is it pretty.

    #1: Learning curve is steep. True. But luckily there are a lot of people to help, who want to.
    #2: No, its not very easy to lose everything. If you buy proper insurance on your ships, you'll never lose them completely, and if someone tries to rob you of your ISK you can always refuse...and have to put that insurance to use.
    #3: It only takes weeks and months once you're in the truly high up stuff- and its nice that its doing something when you aren't around, to be honest.
    #4: Yeah its pretty. And its getting even better next patch.

    I've played this game twice now. The first time I left because I got very bored with it. The solo gamer content is practically nil. Mine asteroids, run (essentially the same 2 or 3) missions, or haul cargo across trade routes. I took the mission route in general and got pretty bored with the same kill missions over and over.

    I came back when I found a large group to play with. That was okay for a while, until I found out that fleet battles are massive lag festivals where 2 fps was the norm. Apparently the game isn't built to handle what is supposed to be one of the best parts of the game. Seems to me that Eve is just waiting for someone to come along and do an mmo space sim correctly, at which point we'll never hear another peep about it. The only problem is no one has bothered to do a good mmo space sim in all these years.

Thus its very imporatn to have as much of number 4 as number 3. Also, having a badger 2 filled entirely with shuttles is also a a good choice.

    Any word on Kali's first release?
