EVE Online MPN Thread

[LoboCanada]

Made this thread because of the interest i've seen on the Screenshots thread.
I've played the game before but i'd like to get into it and I definitely would if I had you people to help each other out (and me).

Anyone know how to create/manage a Corp/guild? I'd like to get this thing rolling if I had a few of you to help. The game is a bit difficult to get used to so that's another good reason. I've no experience in starting a corp and i'm just getting into playing again for the first time in months for i've forgotten a lot.

There's already a chat group: search MPN

I'f you're interested please post your info so we could buddy up.


Thanks.

Premier Rutte is my Eve-Online name. I'm in a Industrial/Aspiring PvP corp, but I just mission a bit.
You can find me near Amarr.

I was hoping the name would be redundant after 1 or 2 months, It didn't.
Btw, if anybody needs 1 of those 21 (at the moment 30) day trial buddy invites, give me a call.

[ex Strathcona]

an MP.net corp in EVE would be interesting. I have several characters, some are attached to one of the 0.0 power blocks but others are free and able to join a new Corp.
my main is Derriphan so look me up.
I do have experiance starting a Corp, I can also help a new corp get into an established pvp Alliance if there is an interest.

[PEMM]

I played Eve for three years. Afterwards ive been wondering what made me pay for having another job.

[Astaran]

I'm in.

Anyone want to test EVE Online? I have buddy codes to spare, too. Just shoot me a PM

[Warden]

My nick is Kiblete and i set up the MPN channel, unless you have spent time in EVE i wouldn't set up a corp it is an awesome way to see the worst side of EVE when you get Wardecced and pounded into the ground. i idle on the channel when i'm online so feel free to ask questions, if you don't you playing hard mode :)

[T3ngu]

SPeaking of Eve. In any game i play, not matter what time of the day, i get "do you play even tengu".

Then I get a precis on how crap, or good the Tengu is.

[sektor]

You are all noobs.

[Warden]

The T3ngu is a T3 cruiser with many different subsystems and is one of the better (best) ones. I did tell you this once when you asked, we may have both been drunk.

[TheGaffer]

Already scaring the new guys about warning being in a corp, its the best part of the game.

[Warden]

TheGaffer (Premier Rutte) now has permissions on the MPN channel!

being war dec'd is no problem, I do it all the time.

[Skutatos]

I played Eve for three years. Afterwards ive been wondering what made me pay for having another job.

I used to play a few years back when I had a computer that could actually handle games of any sort. Looking back.... I once spent 3 months mining and hauling stuff around for various corps so I could afford bigger and better fighting vessels, research etc. Then I realised I had was actually spending all that money on mining and transporting FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.......! The economy in the game is quite impressive though.

Also I found that you can really gouge the hell out of corps who want/need building materials moved quickly and or secretly rather than posting it and waiting. 250,000 ISK for transporting outpost construction parts to a place just 5-6 systems over with a decent escort through 0.0 space...

[RSone]

Setup a merchant/trading/haulage corp and do some runs for the big guys? From the sounds of it, with purely MPN guys, our corp wouldn't be that big...
Gonna start it soon, but i'm daunted by the insane complexity. Then again, maybe it'll be fun to check all that stuff out.

the "Big guys" do their own logistics using jump freighters. I think we would have more fun taking a cue from the pirates and go ninja looting care bears, bait them into attacking or stealing back their stuff and then... profit

[LoboCanada]

Same here RSone. You can be a corp that does jobs for bigger corps? Sounds good since ya, we'd be a small clan.

Who here has the most experience running/starting a corp? I'd like royalties for coming up with the idea. I'm no Winklevoss ;)

Knowing who you are flying with can be a very good thing when doing pvp ops. It will take years to try everything in the game, so darn big.

I've not played the game, but if you can get hauling jobs as a relative outsider(i.e. neutral party) then why not as a small collective. Ofcourse i'm not saying that it is what a MPN corp should focus one or even do at all, but if it turns out to be profitable, why not?

[TheGaffer]

Astaran is willing to take a leadership role, he had a 2004 account, and he can fly nearly all sub-capital ships of all races. He seems like the right man for the job.

you can certainly make money doing that, and the skills needed would serve your own corp very well too. but having the entire corp focus on that would be dull, beyond words

being able to fly all kinds of ships is not a qualification for leadership, however that said i have no problem with him taking charge.

fine, but i was just checking out his corps kill/death ratio and was a bit shocked

Mining and hauling can be an extremely time consuming process. It can take several weeks before mining begins to turn a real profit and probably just as long to do enough networking to get a job hauling something. Also you are in an extremely vulnerable position while mining some areas so it is best to have even some heavily armed friends to help you out, or offer to share the profits (what I did).

Or you can be an asshole and destroy the vulnerable miners and freighters and take their goods lol. Or steal the containers full of ore/minerals that miners drop for freighters. Forgot what they are called..

Been years since I played though, things might be different now.

[Skutatos]

fine, but i was just checking out his corps kill/death ratio and was a bit shocked

Good shocked or bad?

[TheGaffer]

Still the same really.

[ex Strathcona]

Good shocked or bad?

bad, though they don't seem active since 09. it was very "care bearish"

[TheGaffer]

Astaran isn't his ingame nick though. So you could be looking at someone else's killboard.

then disregard my last. what is his in game name?

[TheGaffer]

Can't remember actually, unless chatlogs can be found somewhere.

[ex Strathcona]

Can't remember actually, unless chatlogs can be found somewhere.

ok well no matter, in the early stage of a new corp the "leaderships" main job is just to get epople to log on and fleet up and say "ok were going to do some bla bla bla tonight guys" so actually anyone can take on that role.
all you need right now is some one to form a new corp and pay the bills as the CEO. which if no one else is able to do I can do on one of my alt characters.

[TheGaffer]

Its just to help some of the new guys anyway. And perhaps it will evolve into more.

[LoboCanada]

I like that sound of that.^

[ex Strathcona]

we need a good corp name, something with BDP in it ;)

[sektor]

just go pirate guys.

[Warden]

being war dec'd is no problem, I do it all the time.

Wardeccs are a problem if you are straight out of the tutorial.

I would highly recomend that you all join a Corp before you start one.

My corp has an open channel BTC Public even just ask questions.

[Bedhead]

Having thrilled to gaming mag descriptions of some of the bigger corporate take-downs in Eve, can someone give me an estimate of the minimum amount of real life time needed to have a good time in the game? I know the learning curve is immense, and that there's years worth of content in it. Just wondering....

[Zorro C9]

If I can get my monitor fixed and the internet going on my PC (we're wireless) I'll reinstall and start a new one up. If this get going properly we should ask for a private forum on here maybe so we do all secret **** and ****.

[Orocairion]

Personal recommendation would be to get more experience in the game before starting a corp, to avoid getting wardecced into submission just for ****s and giggles(remember that griefing is allowed, and at some point, even encouraged in EvE), since we don't have the numbers to go around waging blob warfare on anyone(and disregard anyone if they whine about blob warfare).p-)

We are probably better off with either a pirate/contractors corp with small mining/trading/manufacturing branches, at least for the time being.

You can fly a tackler frig about 4 hours (less actually).

lol Min i remember you from the last time still. what systems do you fly all that shiny faction stuff in anyway ;)

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Nah. It wont end well for you if I did. Lets just say my alliance has no dramas hot dropping motherships to kill battleships.

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Osti for my piracy. And a wormhole for my isk making.

[Warden]

So your Alliance is full of botters then? RA or PL?

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Nope. Just a small time pirate alliance with serious hotdropping power. Mostly Australians

since Eve allows your character to skill up while your off line the amount of time you need to invest is about 1 min every day or so to fill up your training que. the real issue is making isk so you can fly nice ships. that can either be done by spending time in game (it only takes.. 30 min? to run a level 4 mission?) or to warp around killing rats. so you dont need to spend much time at all in game. you may choose to spend hours, and hours... setting alarm clocks to wake your self up at 3am to go help your friends but that is your option

war decs are a great chance to think outside the box and very easy to deal with. as for them joining other corps before they start their own i don't think that is the best option. all you need is one or two people with experiance (and we seem to have that) and off you go missioning or pvping or what ever you care to do.
if they get war dec'd i can guide them through it (it's a sepcialty of mine) and if the Corp takes off and prospers I can offer them a place in one of several alliances.

[Astaran]

Just to clarify: I said I could create a corp and be there with advices for our new players, not that I necessarily take leadership ;)

My ingame name is Corven Garn. My kills are spread out over tons of different killboards, so it might look a bit low. I'm surely not the best PvP'er out there, but over the years I have learned to hold my ground.


We shouldn't be afraid of war decs. I see them as an opportunity to show our new guys some pvp. If the **** hits the fan Min will rescue us all with his mighty Ibis of Doom p-)

That reminds me of my old times as a Merc. During a contract with Cruel Intentions we used to reinforce our camp in PF-346 with the mothership of one SAS guy. Brigitte or so was his name. It was in the early days of capital ships (2007?) and was the total overkill. :lol:

By the way: Think of a name guys. I'm currently skilling the corporation skills and can found the corp this evening.

Don't go mining unless you have a real mining barge, Its boring and makes hardly any ISK, untill you have a retriever.

i am justt curious why he called it a drake blob when nc only had like 8 of them.....

[LoboCanada]

Would you guys mind posting some of your more important assets? To get an idea of what kind of resources our corp will start off with and what you would like to bring to it.

Would like to get a list of who would help us set this up/has experience setting up a corp.

Also, name submissions, I think BDP Inc.

[Orocairion]

SEAL Team 6p-)


I support the BDP Inc. one

BDP Inc. is good
as for assets i will toss in at least one pvp character to join with skills in covert ops, intercepters, electronic attack ships and recons. offer intel through a small army of alt spies and scouts. donate isk i make out in 0.0 on my carebear character. and offer the corp a place in a low sec pirate alliance, or 0.0 renter alliance.
also access to jump frieghters when needed

[ex Strathcona]

oh and loads of advice

None, yet. As I said, gonna start in the morning. Been a long day today, and I need some Zs. Basically, i'm familiar with the basic premises of the game, but not much more than that.

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Word of advice. For Pew Pew go Minimitar.

For mission whoring go Caldari

Amarr and Gallente kinda suck in general.

You can always start off learning the Basic Core skills, you will see them ingame in the certificate tab.

I've only lost one ship this year to pvp. I'm not a kill board whore so I don't lock on a point just for the sake of getting a kill if you know what I mean.

You all should go to 0.0.

[ex Strathcona]

You all should go to 0.0.

have to see where everyones interests are, i think to start maybe just putzing around in empire gain some faction standings and join some faction warfare flying around in rifter swarms till people get their space legs.

[ex Strathcona]

course ninja looting and mission runner baiting might bring out the fun factor quicker

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

You all should go to 0.0.

0.0 is for chumps who's only claim to fame is that they can bring in 300 drakes and hot drop 50 motherships. No tactics, brains or intelligence needed

steam? you know downloading the client is free right? and you can get a 14day trial account

[Quakecry]

No i didn't, thanks for the tip ) . But, making a 14 day trial - if i can't pay for more gametime on the account after the trial is over, is not something i want to do. So, if i can continue on the trial account, if pay for more game time, then sure ;)

[Spiritbreaker]

steam? you know downloading the client is free right? and you can get a 14day trial account

Is there something like i wow,where if your friend invites you and you start playing you get bonuses?Is the credit card only mean of paying?

[ex Strathcona]

Is there something like i wow,where if your friend invites you and you start playing you get bonuses?Is the credit card only mean of paying?

not sure, i know they have had things like that in the past but at the moment i can't say for sure. it doesnt help that the site is down right now :p

[Quakecry]

And repeating myself,can you continue on the trial account after the 14 days is over - or do you have to buy the game with a new account, or can you just pay for gametime on the trial account?

[Orocairion]

You activate the trial account once the time's up, so you don't really lose your characters. As for other means of paying, there are people who play for free, by basically making around 300m ISKs per month and purchasing an Eve Time Card who gives you 30(or 60) days of playing time.

So yeah, your account can be self-sustainable.

[Quakecry]

Thanks for the tip:) Well, guess i'm gonna start playing the game, with what a guy i know said fresh in mind "the game takes about a year to fully learn" :p

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

For those people who are starting the game from new.

Get one of the regulars to invite you to the game. This way that person gets free game time for month which can be sold as PLEX in game which gives people more money.

@Ex Strathcona

I took part in the Faeythbolis campaign. Yeah the first few battles are interesting and fun but eventually it becomes and even bigger bore then ****ing mining.

0.0, sov-warfare are severely broken

yes yes, been in several "great wars" as well. but you avoid showing me anything to back up your earlier war dec threats. so at this point I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you're not a threat.
all the kill boards seem to be missing huge amounts of kills at the moment anyway though so it's just as well

[sektor]

0.0 is for chumps who's only claim to fame is that they can bring in 300 drakes and hot drop 50 motherships. No tactics, brains or intelligence needed


u mad bro :p

[Spiritbreaker]

Site is finally up...does any of you guys want to invite me for trial?

[Zorro C9]

Is there ISK in manufacturing and smuggling drugs?

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

u mad bro :p

Nah. Just mentioning how ****ing lame 0.0 is now. When i first started in eve 0.0 was actually fun. It took considerable effort to take space, seeing a capital ship was rare and fleet fights were quite awesome.

Now it's nothing but blob fest after blob fest. I'd wager that 90% of people who take part in sov warfare wouldn't have a ****ing clue and be able to survive in low sec.

some yes some no. I did everything - small gang warfare, capital gangs, pirating, wh's, highsec, lowsec, 0.0, blobs, grieving and so on... So stop generalizing so much Anastasiya. :)

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

It's not the only toon I have :D

[Astaran]

I have 9 buddy codes left. You are free to shoot me (or anyone else with an active EVE account) a PM with your E-Mail.

Since I have some important RL issues today, it might take some hours for me to reply to your PMs. I'll be back this afternoon/evening (European time zone).

--

Well, what do I bring into the Corp? Advice, a helpful hand and a little bit of knowledge about nearly every aspect of EVE. I can help you to haul stuff through the galaxy, give you advice about fittings. I am also about to skill for a Fenrir freighter or a carrier (need some moar money first :( ), so I can support the Corp logistics, too.

[Dossbag]

I played for about two years on an off, Caldari char, could fly up to Battlecruisers and Mining Barges. Stopped last year mainly due to getting fed up with the amount of time you have to put into it, it's most definitely not a pick up and play game! I reinstalled last night just to have a go with the new character creator, which is fun, although i have zero money and ships left after splurging it all last time i stopped playing. Might Ebay my character, 6 million odd skill points is got to be worth something!

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Selling a toon for real money is against the EULA

[TheGaffer]

6m SP isn't really going to do a lot of good if I may add.

[Dossbag]

Yeah, a quick check of Ebay and then a quick research as to why there were no Chars on there anymore revealed that to me! :D

And i know 6mill ain't all that compared to alot of players, but it's still a decent investment of my time and effort.

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

Dude the only people interested in buying toons are the guys who are serious at eve. Even then the character would need to be dedicated to a particular field. Carrier pilot, dread pilot, PVP, PVE, mining ect.

[Zorro C9]

What's the difference between PVE and mining? Isn't mining "the environment" by definition?

[Astaran]

What's the difference between PVE and mining? Isn't mining "the environment" by definition?

PvE means mainly Missions and killing belt rats/anomalies and the like.

Mining is just sitting all day long in a belt, sucking on rocks.

[Zorro C9]

I knew what mining was, I just wasn't sure why PVE was considered something different. But it looks like I took the term too literally. Thanks for the explanation! (I've played it before but I was rather direction-less).

My mate is lending me/I might be buying a monitor so hopefully I'll be up and running by the end of next week. Could I just go back to my original question (re drugs) and add another:

Is there profit in smuggling drugs in game?

Is there scope in the room for someone dedicated to intelligence gathering on behalf of the corp?

[Astaran]

Tbh, I never tried to smuggle drugs, so I don't know if it's worth the risk of getting caught my NPCs.


Yes, there is always a place for some sort of "intelligence officer" in a corp. It's just like in RL: "Knowledge is ammunition." You can either work as a scout in a cloaked ship (Covert Ops, Force/Fleet Recon) to scout ahead of a friendly fleet or you join a hostile corp/alliance as a spy (metagaming sucks). There are plenty of ways and fields to gather information for a corp: markets prices in various regions, wormholes and complexes, hostile movement. scouting for a friendly freighter pilot to avoid suicide ganks etc.

[Spiritbreaker]

Omg,omg,omg im in yay...

Great, thanks for the reply mate. Food for thought.

[Orocairion]

You can smuggle drugs but it involves having to use blockade runners or fast ships with the hability to cloak, which are not exactly cheap. You get caught and you lose standing with the faction in whose space you are in and get fined, plus you get asked to hand the drugs over. If you don't, you get shot at, which is where the need for fast or cloaking ships come in.

As for profits, they aren't much buyers in empire space, NPC or players. I believe most of them are in low sec. So, besides dealing with custom agents(if you are moving through empire), you'll have to deal with low sec gate camps.

[TheGaffer]

Just to repeat, There is a mpn chat on eve, just search "mpn"

[Ivan le Fou]

Some of you said Gallentes sucked, why that?

[Astaran]

Some of you said Gallentes sucked, why that?

Railguns are useless and the range of blasters is too short. But the drones are excellent. I used an Ishtar for 0.0 anomalies and belt ratting (Guristas) and it was great. Dominix with heavy neuts and a ****load of Tech II heavy drones can be a nasty encounter, too.

[xav]

In EVE, are there only "in space combats" or can you fight on planets as well? Plan landing operations, occupy it, defend it (on the ground i mean) ?

[TheGaffer]

In EVE, are there only "in space combats" or can you fight on planets as well? Plan landing operations, occupy it, defend it (on the ground i mean) ?

For now only Space combatants, but in the future with Dust integration, you will be able to play on the ground. (on your Xbox or PS3)

[Orocairion]

Space combat only at the moment. They are working on a Battlefield-style FPS, though, which will be integrated into the EvE Online universe later on.

So you basically want to Han Solo the **** out of EVE?

Me too actually, LOL.

EDIT: Fvck, a 700mb update, after the initial 7.5 gigs of client i downloaded yesterday. Awesome.

[ex Strathcona]

this is a good time to get into EVE lots of stuff in the pipe.

[RSone]

Got into playing, and with a lot of help from the guys in the MPN chat am making my first steps. Fun, but the game definitely expects a certain level of independence from the player.

[MaDuce]

I haven't played in awhile. I think I must just start up again. I miss selling my soul my soul for ISK.

[Spiritbreaker]

Just to repeat, There is a mpn chat on eve, just search "mpn"

Found it,unfortunately my enter key isnt working so i cant talk to anyone

[MaDuce]

Is insurance fruad still a viable way to get ISK?

[sektor]

Is insurance fruad still a viable way to get ISK?

nope.....................

[Orocairion]

Also, since it would a corp based on a military board, having ships names or ship name's prefix could be an option. Either compiling a list of name available for the corp's ships or just coming up with a prefix to give the member more freedom regarding the naming of the ships.

For example, MPN "PM Macs" or something along those lines.

[LoboCanada]

Sounds cool^.

Hope errbody here has joined or applied to the corp. If you haven't already, just PM Macs.

[Quakecry]

Does he give you a big mac for doing it ?

[Quakecry]

Installing EVE now. Any tips for a n00b?

[Dossbag]

Definitely play the tutorial through, EVE can be very daunting at first so get your head round the basics.

[Quakecry]

Ok. A friend says i should be the race minmatar, because they have the best ships. Is that true?

[Dossbag]

I havent played the game for a while so can't really say, but it's all relative and depends on what you want to do. Somebody more experienced in the game than me would be best to answer that question.

[PEMM]

Yeah, you need to get that advancing in this game takes lots of time and is as interesting as watching grass to grow. It gets interesting after like half year when you can actually do something.

Then there is mining. To be able to mine effectively you need booze and some other activity like movie. You can practice mining by pressing the start button every 30 seconds.

[number nine]

I have buddy invites too, just PM me, and give me your email if you wanna try it (you get 21 day trial instead of 14 day trial, if you subscribe, I get one month of free game time). Win-win for both of us!

[Quakecry]

Well, a friend already sent me a invite. That's the one i'm installing the game with now...

[RSone]

Damn it, just lost my first ship.... My slasher got fvcked up on a PvE mission where i had to take on a bunch of pirates. Agent sent me to a small asteroid field with an accell gate, and three rookies. I smoke the rookies, mission is not completed, so i take the accelleration gate and end up in the middle of a pirate camp.....Traded some shots, then warped out. Warped back in, took out two pirates, but the ship got destroyed when i tried to warp out for repairs again.... Boy am I glad i got the insurance earlier.
First instance where i've been harshly confronted with the game not babying the player. Ship destroyed? Your problem, homeslice.

[PEMM]

Maybe i could play this game too for a while... How about MP.net corp?

[Astaran]

Already done :) BDP Inc. is our mp.net name there ;)

Almost happened to me yesterday, my thrasher was SO close to being kaboomed. Join the Corp chat and we'll help each other out. Have finished some hard quests with other noobs in the Corp before.

[Quakecry]

Making a guy in the minmatar race now. Friend is that race, so we can play together.

[Quakecry]

So, here i am warping to a friend - because i was gonna meet him. And, just when i have 2 warps remaining i get attacked, and unfortunately by that time my game was minimized and i was surfing the internetz (was on auto-pilot) well, nothing of value except a canon was lost. But next time, if i have a another ship and something like that ever happens. Well, then i am gonna self-destruct the ship, and remember to have insurance to.

[Astaran]

Our little corp growths and flourishes.

Yesterday I bought some Rifters from our corp wallet and put them into our corp hangar in Gyng. You should be able to take one, if you need a new ship. Later today I will put some Thrashers and new modules into the hangar, too.

I think I could buy some of the basic skill books as well for you. We have enough money on the corp wallet at the moment, so we can afford some extra expanses. If anyone of you has some special need (Mining, research, production etc.), feel free to shoot me a PM or post here, so we can talk about factory/laboratory slots or some general help with more complex topics of EVE. You know, EVE has more to offer than warping into a mission and hitting F1 to F4 until nothing moves anymore p-)

There are still plenty of Buddy Codes left, so anyone who wants to join us is still welcome p-) Oh, and it's not retarded to play a game that takes months to understand completely. There is still some challenging gaming left, beside the easymode MW crap :lol:

[LoboCanada]

Thanks Astaran, you're running this show.

1) Think we should try and just build our corp up then find a niche or two and then work on long term stuff like raids or whatnot.

2) Try to hand out or have people in set positions in the corp for experienced members like you so new members will know who to talk to answer questions.

3) Rank names (other than Diva, thanks for that)

I'm sending Corrupt a buddy code in a bit.
Also: I dumped some 200mm autocannons, afterburners and other assorted modules in the corp hangar. I'll look into some production, so I can keep up a steady stock of autocannon munition for corporation use.
EDIT: Just sent Corrupt a buddy invite, he's going to dl it this evening/tonight.

[Astaran]

3) Rank names (other than Diva, thanks for that)


to 1) We will find our niche automatically, when our new players figure out what they like most. Right at the moment you are learning only the basics of EVE: How to navigate without getting lost, shooting things, buying stuff etc. Later you might want to specialize in Trading, Mining, Mission Running, Belt Ratting, Small scale PvP (like Piracy) or Large Scale PvP (like 0.0 Warfare with hundreds of players). There are so many different ways to play EVE, that it is impossible to tell in which direction we will head. Maybe we go for PvP, maybe we will enter Wormhole Space and claim our very own Wormhole. Maybe we move into 0.0 space and join an Alliance to participate in epic fleet battles between hundreds of players. Or maybe we'll receive a declaration of war next week and getting screwed like a virgin on prom night.

to 2) Good idea. Maybe some sort of title to mark the more experienced members would do.

to 3) actually we have to different ranks at the moment: "BDP laundress" for the rookies and "BDP wearer" for the more senior members. But that was just some sort of placeholder until I have the time to work out a more detailed ranking system with criteria for promotions etc.
Your "Diva" is just a custom user title, since you wanted to have a special rank within the corp p-) There are no rights or privileges connected to it.

[Ohtar1985]

There is downtime right now, right? Game told be that I have old version too, so I pressed few buttons on steam and it re-downloads itself. :/

[Corrupt]

RSone gave me a buddy invite so I'l hop in for 21 days and see what I think. I'l join the corps when it's downloaded. He also reliably informed me and I can borrow a corps frigate ;)

[Astaran]

There was a patch today. Normally EVE downloads just the patch and not a complete new client, but I never used EVE together with Steam, so I can't say if it's due to your steam account.

Seem like steam version is just like normal one. I learned it the hard way, because I have to do a 1.5 update now instead of 1.6 :P

[Ivan le Fou]

The 1.6 version is not on EVE website.

[B_706K]

Was actually looking forward to spending sometime playing Eve today, on my day off.

But oh-f*cking-no.... :(

Stupid updates (grumble, mutter).

[Quakecry]

Yeah same here... And, when the games comes online again. Can one of you grant me access to our hangar? I am in the corp, but i can't access the hangar.

[PEMM]

Hope something good comes out of this.

[Astaran]

Finally I can download the update: 500mb for a new UI code. I just hope it works and isn't a huge ****up.

Quake, I will update your status as soon as I can login. Sorry, seems that I forgot to put your rank to "BDP laundress". You should have access to all hangars including the ships hangar with the Rifters :)

[PEMM]

Do i get rights too?

[Ivan le Fou]

Just to be sure, latest build is 264377 right?

[Ohtar1985]

Yeah. 123456

[Astaran]

Just to be sure, latest build is 264377 right?

Just start your EVE client. It will start the update automatically.

@PEMM:
Yes, you will get the standard rank, too. We will work out a more sophisticated ranking system later.

[Quakecry]

Speaking of that. A very good friend of mine, have played the game for a while to. And i wondered if he could join the corp, even tho he is not a member of mp.net. He wants to join, and i want him to join to. Its booring being a "lone-wolf"

[Quakecry]

I am already in gyng, or atleast near it ;)

[Astaran]

Server is back online

[Quakecry]

Good. You gonna update my status ? so i can access the hangar ;) ?

[B_706K]

Damn it, lost two ships to other players last night one was just gate camping and then podded me which is just ghey and annoyed me. The second smashed me while I was mining but they were good enough not to pod me (they could have easily but didn't) and then gave me 1,000,000 ISK after, so I didnt really care... lol

only in so far as the basic skills you start with, but you are free to skill for any races ships and all are pretty much equil when it comes right down to it.
race choice is pretty much about what you think looks better for your character and the location of the starting system for you. which in your case Minmattar would be the closest for you to join us

[WolverineBlue]

OK -- Minmatar it is :)

[LoboCanada]

Most new players in BDP are Minmatar anyways, so if you wanna link up to do some of the harder missions just give someone a shout in the MPN channel.

[Astaran]

Don't take the 14 day trial, but let someone send you a buddy code. You can play 21 days and if you extend to a "full account", the player who sent you the buddy code, will receive additional 30 days of game time for free. p-)

How are "ship collisions" handled by the game engine? Are there any? If so does it depends on the ships size, their shields etc ?

You just do a massive **** off emergency stop in about 9 feet, despite travveling at like 500m/s.

Well, you can "bump" other ships. It's a common tactic to deny careless hostiles from jumping through stargates or docking at stations. But it doesn't cause any damage.

Where the hell are you mining? If its in a 0.4 or below system ill come and kill you. Always stay aligned and keep and eye on local.

Where I got gate camped was 0.3, I thought it was risky so I was only in a sh*tty cheap frigate just in case. Good thing as it turned out - the guy who killed me was in a Hurricane with 425mm autocannons. Mad skillz on display right there.

The mining death was in 0.4, now i just mine 0.6 plenty of half decent stuff with only the odd NPC pirate to worry about (well, not really 'worry' per se).

I always stay aligned now though, I didn't know about it before or I may have made it away from the mining incident..

Thanks for the info re the free days, gents. I've left it downloading (at 98kbs, FML) and will attend to it tomorrow when I get home and set up a character etc. I think I'll go the intel/covert ops route.

So Min's decided to be an asshole huh? Can't even enjoy my newbie fun in peace. I'll remember this.

Don't worry, we'll be fine. Just stick to the advice we give to you, and you won't even lose a Rifter ;) More in corp chat/mail :)

Edit: Oh, btw: PvP is the most fun part of the game. Grinding through mission after mission gets boring as hell after a short while. To say it with the words of Generation Kill "Peace sucks an hairy asshole. War is the mother****ing answer" ;)

That's not the point. I just wanted to get to grips with the game in peace, and now because Min's a retard(who apparently meant what he said when he tried to threaten him into giving him ISK, another thing I won't forget)I have to go fight some douchebag Australians for no good reason.

just one guy in the corp that war dec'd us, i will watch this closly to see if anyone else joins. the pilot in that corp has 6 losses and no kills so far, you wont be bothered and should be able to get to grips with eve in peace.

[ex Strathcona]

looking at voice comms for the corp. best options are
Team Speak 3
http://www.teamspeak.com/

hosting cost for a 15 user server is aprox $5 US per month

and

Ventrilo
http://www.ventrilo.com/

15 user server rental is $6 US per month

there is also the option if we can find a seller in game to rent a server using ISKfor anywhere between 50-100 Mil ISK per month. if we went this way we could pay for it through corp tax and running corp ops on missions or mining.

Do we really need one yet?
