I have been traveling this weekend so my game play has been grinding standing via courier missions to lower the fees for selling in Jita 4-4.

Haha, I wish. Although I did get the email from them advising for a fee I can join them.

No thanks. But I will be in Jita trying to take their loot and shooting them when they go red.

That is a scam. They will take your isk, let you join. Tell you that you can use their jump freighter lines to move your stuff to null, and once you finally do use it with a lot of your possessions, they will boot you from corp and steal it all.

I guess I will sell the next Orca that is done in Amarr instead of Jita, since it finishes cooking on Saturday.

I now have my isk stream working again, time to start risking ships in PVP.

He mentioned Invention. Could be that. I'm working on PI for some income. Should start making a profit tomorrow. Training the last skill I need to get a 5th planet for production of Robotics. Should make about 17mill isk per day.

I don't have EVE yet, but saw it on sale on Steam. Is it worth getting it?? (I noticed Steam had some disclosures about it not being compatible with other EVE versions.....or something like that).

Good reviews on it and really nice graphics etc...

IIRC the Goons legitimately recruit only from the Something Awful forums.

Ok, I HIGHLY suggest you read up on the game first. Eve isn't about the graphics. You don't typically fly your ship (you issue commands like orbit, warp to object at range X, dock, jump, etc.).

The game can become VERY time consuming and in the beginning, VERY hard to know what to do, since there is no story. It is a sandbox game, with thousands of other players, with very complex rules, of which not understanding the rule will result in your death, which means the loss of your ship, and equipment, and cargo. Which as a new player, can be very difficult to replace since you typically do not have very good income.

I'm not trying to tell you not to play the game, I personally LOVE it. But I wanted to give you fair warning in that it is fairly complex, with very real consequences for dying (unlike games like WoW where all you have to do is go back to where you died and get all your stuff again, where all you lost was the 5-10 minutes it takes to get a group and get back there).

I invent and build ships from invention. I also build freighters and orcas. Mining with my alt and look for fun with my main PVP character. Got ganked mining with my alt and via kill rights got my first kill mail in a few years killing and podding one of the gankers.

Have fit up a few expensive ships, will start solo PVPing soon.

Nice kill. Strength on strength. I probably wouldn't have attacked a catalyst with a close range frigate, but the Ishkur does put out a pounding on small ships with all those drones. Was it a close fight?

Haven't been playing since 09 or so, stopped ship spinning some time in 2010. Every time I consider re-joining I'm overcome by a wave of ennui. Helps bunches that I looked and timecodes are 750 mil, which means my 60 bil or so in assets isn't going to go very far with 4 accounts.

They keep mailing me re: I still have a bunch of PLEX on my accounts, but just can't summon up the urge to re-up.

Good to know you're having fun returning though. If I ever work through my backlog of games and give it another shot I might too.

There were three destroyers there. The guy is a multi-boxing ganker. Fight was not close as I caught him by surprise and the ship had zero tank. He logged the other two accounts off to save them.

I agree that a close in frigate is not the best choice against destroyers, but this was a special case.

Oh, you definetly want to read up on the game before even thinking of trying it out.

It's about as cut throat a game as you can get.

I've played it a few times over the years but have never stuck with it, I remember playing it when first released and didn't understand some of the rules about zones at first and lost my first Osprey deep in space when the game was still young.

Have went back a few times later, but the training time on things just killed it for me more or less.

It's certainly not your ordinary, everyday WOW type of thing.

When I first started playing Eve...back in..2005 I think, it wasn't nearly as user friendly as it is now. It just dumped you out somewhere and you were on your own to figure out what to do. This is the most daunting thing about the game. Now though, there are tutorials, etc that kind of help you, but it is still overwhelming at first. Fortunately, in the "newbie" areas, there are lots of similar folks who will help you out and get you on your feet (joining a corp). This is the fastest way to learn the game.

As stated...Eve is an investment in time. It isn't a game you can play for 10-15 minutes then come back to a week later. It isn't that you "couldn't" do that, but you certainly won't want to since you are paying a sub for it and it takes a long time to do anything in it.

You know what is interesting is I always see people talking about how after they quit Eve kept sending them emails and/or free months etc to come back. I never once got anything like that. I would bet my account isn't even there anymore...
