f13.net

I hadnt played for very long before, I was completely lost and without guidance. I think i could have really gotten into it back then if i had more people to chat with. Is the f13 Channel Private or public and how does one join a channel to talk to people?


Edit: Holy crap i know nothing about this game, I have assets spread out everywhere, I got no Idea what i was trying to do before i quit a year or so ago hehe

Name is Moruc Durtrey

Im in a Cormorant with some 150 MM compressed coil guns, 5 of them with some hybrid ammo Guardian Iron Charge S, Ive got no idea what to do with this ship hehe.

You're flying a destroyer. They're ok, but most people who can't afford much use them to salvage large amounts of wrecks in instances. Best bet is to move up to cruisers or perfect the art of frigates.

Since you have skill with Caldari you have two options:

Kestrel for PvE (High DPS missile boat. Used to fly one, hella fun popping shit at 15KM+ out.

Merlin for PvP. Only other choice in Caldari really. Don't know much about it, so I have no idea if it's a gun boat or missile boat. I do know it's better for PVP cause the Kestrel has THE shittiest shit capacitor.

I'm sure the vets will pop in with their wisdom.

I need somebody or anybody to take me under their wing. I still need to find out how to join the channel you all talk about.

Edit: I am currently running around picking up various things i had purchased in different stations, Mostly skills, I have no idea what i was shooting for. Ive been reading up and I think I was trying to learn how to build a newb sniper cormorant.

I'm blanking on the name of the button. Left side closer to the bottom I believe it's Channels and.. something else. It'll have channels in the name. Chat & Channels maybe. Once you open that it'll have a "Join" button. Just click that and type "F13" and hit ok. Soon you'll be connected to a room full of faggots.

Thanks man

Look at this noob, making threads and shit.

Is that bad?

Haha, nah. That's more the culture around Goons, they jokingly ridicule newbs, but foster them cause they know they're what can make them stronger. Not that they need to be any stronger. Also, that's why I said "room full of faggots."

Have I not been helpful in-game?  Don't let my terrible posting sway you to thinking that I'm anything other than a great dude.

You'd be even greater without that dirty 'stache.

Youve been awesome.

Apparently, that tache is lifechanging ...

Channels & Mailing Lists. :-)

No one uses the latter half because it's basically worthless.

I was on a mailing list once, in Providence.  It was underutilized.

Our alliance uses mailing lists for logistics stuff, market requests and industry. It's better than forums and doesn't choke up the important stuff from Alliance mail.

We're getting soft, no accusations of "spy" yet.

Damnit Thrawn, I just saw the thread and was going to say

"obligatory spy remark here"

I dunno, Samson's very goony posting above makes this thread worth it IMO.


Would read again

I can say, no matter what is said here you all are the best when it comes to help in game.

That's what we'd expect you to say ... you fell into our trap a bit too easily there ... as only a real spy would!

We should torture him.. IN SPAAAAAACE!

I meant to say, no matter how you all act like asses here, your nice in game.....

LOL

Fuck you! And when you get in game, I'll tell you that again!

Probably apologize later, but it's the principle of the matter.

I love when you show your sensitive side  :heart:

He's my bitch, step....the fuck.....off

:drillf: :pedobear:

Man, things can swing in crazy directions in this place, this thread went from newbie needs help to prisonesque ownership between one man and another.

Welcome to EVE!

I just got Penn popped by a gate camp convincing him to come join me. Yay!

Was it a blue gatecamp?  He's not in the alliance yet.

It wasnt so bad, I got to give a smart ass one liner before i was podded.

Could get him to check his Killmail on it.

That was like having a knife at a nuke fight.LOL

That's where things went wrong.
Set your autopilot navigation to avoid Rancer and never touch it again.

I'm surprised they risked a rapier in lowsec, those things can get chewed up by gate sentries.

Fucking Rancer. My last corp had their home base in lowsec about 2 jumps from there.

Noobs leading noobs to their death. This is Eve at its finest, baby!

Embrace your first loss. It won't be your last. And without the sour, the sweet just ain't as sweet.

Yep. Rancer is a fucking hellhole teeming with pirates. That was where I lost my first ship ever! Poor little Tristan...

I wonder how many people were podded for the first time in Rancer?  That's where I got podded the first time, less than a week into the game trying to transport all my worldly goods from Minmatar territory to Korsiki.  Who got me?  Ginger Magician.

Heh. I had him chase me through a few systems (or maybe he was just traveling!) once upon a time.

I, too, once died in Rancer, in a Minmatar Rookie ship (I'm Amarr and had stolen the boat) - fell to a smartbombing Aeon and some battleships.
the united. keep their supercaps off gates since the introduction of HICs, though.

That's funny, all my times in Rancer were quite pleasant.  Just a few friends hanging around (on the gate) with our weapons live and reppers going.   :drill:

I honestly cannot think of a more lame way to spend my time then popping unexpecting shit ships repeatedly. Besides, well, suicide ganking.

Oh, good pre-emptive save  ;D

I would love to spend my time jumping into gatecamps setup for shit ships with a nice fleet. No one expects to get raped on a shitty gatecamp.

IAC got pretty used to it in Doril.  :grin:

Reactivated my old acc from 2006:

:heartbreak:

Now I know why I left EVE... Oh well, at least I can fly my Badger II, gotta clean up my bookmarks tho, got a whole lot of obsolete gate to gate waypoints... Whoever suggested to new guys they should train to 3/5 advanced learning first should be shot.

Spending your first month on the stupid learning skills is almost a guarantee of early boredom and burnout.

Hmm. EVEMon is depressing. Basically, all I can do now is pewpew rocks in an Osprey and haul stuff with the Badger II. Got cruisers but I doubt that will do any good.

What skills are useful for a carebear-pve newbie? I think I was training my way to a mining barge before I left, with 5 days worth of books left before getting the Procurer according to the planner. That's the easiest route forward as far as I can see.

As for pvp, I'd love to try some, but I don't think anyone but f13 and the goons have a use for a newbie in a frigate. I could drive a cruiser, but I don't think I can fly it effectively yet, and it just makes you easier to blow up. At least I somehow managed to train for MWD / Web / Disruptor, not that I ever fitted any EW. Hmm...

For Level 1 missions, you can easily hop in a kestrel (frigate) and blow stuff up with standard missiles. I'm pretty sure all Caldari start with basic missile skills.

For Level 2s, since you have Caldari Cruiser already, you could work towards a Caracal and get the Heavy Missiles skill, which will pretty much clean out all L2s with little effort.

For Level 3s, you could get the Battlecruisers skill and use the Drake in combination with your aforementioned Heavy Missiles skill to dominate pretty much all L3s with okay shield tanking skills.

For all of these, you'll want decent fitting skills (engineering/electronics, the various Upgrades skills) and tanking skills (the Shield ones under Engineering). These are all achievable goals for your basic PVE Newbie, although I personally find missioning to be dreadfully, dreadfully boring.

>  EVEMon is depressing.
So true.  It's so useful but at the same time you see exactly how many months away you are from were you want to be.   :heartbreak:

Propulsion Jamming I
High Speed Maneuvering I  (sub in Afterburner I until you get HSM trained)
Frigate of your choice IV

You are now useful in PvP.

Yea, these 3 skills aren't the problem. Being in the right place at the right time is. I've got a few taxi frigs all over the place with MWD's fitted (from the time when you had to make your own gate to gate waypoints, no warp to 0km) and got the basic jamming skills, but you're totally dependent on a corp taking care of you as a newbie.

Just catching up on the "new newbie skills" atm, working my way to Salvaging in 8h. It's a good thing I got a little retirement fund of 15M, 900k for that book alone would mean a lot of grinding otherwise, but as it doubles the mission income, you can't live without it.

If you just want to pve for a bit while you get up to speed training a battlecruiser and medium guns and equip worked well for me.

A battlecruiser poorly fit can do lvl 3 missions pretty easily and as you work the skills up (skills that you will need eventually for pvp fits as well) you will be able to move into the easier lvl 4s, which can be a pretty significant source of cash if you are willing to run a salvaging op after the mission.

This is pretty much exactly what I did, and missions were EZ. Add salvaging and a little bit of buying and selling, and you make money pretty quickly.

But, I also think that shit is boring as hell. How do the people who live in 0.0 make their money? Just ratting/mining?

Exploration, running static plexes if you have a group, importing and exporting also.

Exploration?

You do the same stuff in 0.0 to make money as you do low-sec/hi-sec.  You just make more of it faster.

Lvl 4 missions get you, what?  10 Mil ISK an hour with good skills and a good setup?  Ratting in a good true sec system in 0.0 can more than double or triple that with a random chance at some really big bucks.  Same for the other ways of making cash.  I've seen Endie throw around figures like 50 mil ISK an hour mining in 0.0.

I guess the real reason why 0.0 is better though is that you only have to pve a little bit to support your pvp habit.

The controversial thing about lvl 4 missions is that they net you 20mill upwards on -average-, factoring in rewards, time bonus, bounties, loot, salvage and loyality points.
And that's in the relative safety of empire space.
