Anyone here play EVE online?

[jumpy]

Had a trial account last year - did some of the first level epic ark missions and some skill level-ups until the two week trial ended.

Was never totally sold on the idea of a subscription to play a game, but I thought I'd give it another go.

Been online with it for about 10 days now. Mooching about in n00b space mostly; mining for the most part so I can buy some better stuff.

Impressions: there's a lot to this one and as such I've barely scratched the surface.
I like the eve radio station and the fact that I can do other stuff whilst mining. Seems to be a wide and varied community to get involved with.

Any other n00bs out there?

It just so happens that I reactivated my 17 mill SP character (Which, despite being about 5 years old, always manages to be completely bankrupt and at the worse end of most single PVP fights) on one of them returning trials. Currently somewhere in Caldari space in an NPC corp, so not doing too much besides missions and some mining.

Just might completely reactivate my account after the trial is over, as I have time to play again now...

[jumpy]

heh I've not ventured out of 0.5 space yet. mostly 0.9.

I recon the learning curve is too steep for me to risk travelling anywhere where another player is likely to fill me in, and will most likely be so for some time yet to come.

I used to go into lowsec regularly when I started out until some gatecamping bastard popped my poor little shuttle and podded me without mercy (I nearly got revenge a while later, though).

As it is, it's much more profitable to mine in high sec than it seems, since for some reason the need for tritanium has completely raised the prices and Veldspar has since become one of the most profitable ores you can mine. So there's no real need to go into lowsec unless you want to kill some cruiser rats or unfortunate miners or innocent bystanders or whatever.

It's still mining - the most ball-achingly boring job in EVE.

Yer, mining (at least at my skill level) is a real pain in the arse. Takes for ever with my sigil and a miner II plus mining upgrade module and expanded cargo II.

Still L1 mission running. Currently have a destroyer (over kill for L1) since my first post

Cap is stable at around 46% depending on what type of turret frequency crystal is used (multifrequency/standard/infrared/radio). I've got a few other high slot bits of kit I can swap out (salvager etc) should the need arise.
Deals with npc pirates quite effectively - kite away from them and kill them out of range, then collect their stuff.

I know it's a bit of a n00b setup - there's no ecm type stuff (mostly I have not trained those skills to any decent level) but it's a good slugger with a reasonable armour tank for what I use it for - anything faster than me gets zapped by the lazorz of plenty.
Though I nearly lost it the first mission I used it for: having loads of weapons is no substitute for sound tactics and evaluation of your enemy threat - kill those guys with stasis webifyers quickly!

Roll on cruiser abilities.

That just about sums up the learning curve

[jumpy]

hehe, that's the one alright

Not really much of an MMO player. Those things are just chock full of internet tough guys. Yes, we have them on the forums too, but give them the ability to kill your character and they take it to a new level. Really just ruins the experience for me.
