Internet Spaceship Jihad Online - Join f13 posters in Eve

[Kitsune]

Wow, that's a great spy cover, making an account years before the corporation existed.

Maybe even... too great.

Look at the creation dates.  Obviously, it's one of Endie's alts and he is just trying to create a cover for it.

[Nerf]

Yes, you are beating a dead horse.  Go try to infiltrate battlestars, they'll take anyone.

[palmer_eldritch]

Didn't Schild wipe the user list once? (Presumably November 8 2005).

Edit - as my own join date is 2004, I guess not. I'm saying Endie alt.

Just to make it clear, the offer of a buddy code and free game time applies to anyone, spy, join4guild person or long-time poster. Just PM me with your e-mail - as discussed, you can make a gmail account if you don't want to share your real e-mail.

[Endie]

I agree that it's a startling coincidence, but that one's not me.  Schild would mock me.

[CaptainNapkin]

Can you get more than 1 free trial over the years with the same email address?

I ask since I have played half way through the tutorial easily 4 times and would likely be reusing an address I've already done a trial with.
You'd think that would be enough of a sign, but you folks really know how to make this game sound interesting... or successfully point out that I was doing it wrong every other time.

[Gets]

Just use a disposable e-mail account.

Edit: Give it to me first for a 21-day trial. Too many scrubs not taking advantage of the buddy program.

[Slayerik]

It would be nice to join in with you guys tonight.  I am very good at dying a lot in EvE.

Will my application get processed in time ?

Not sure why they are hatin' on ya man. Get in game and hop on the f13 chat channel and hang at least.

This (hugely lengthy) history of the Great Eve War should have been a blog post.  It's been moved here: http://www.endie.net/wordpress/?p=34

[Comstar]

In the 2nd great war I was sitting in 6-24 and an allied cruiser was sitting outside the shields. He didn't have the password but 6-24 was dorment and seemed asleep. I think he blue was afk and just orbiting the guns like a cleaner fish orbits around the teeth of a shark.

BoB warped in a fleet of recons and long range sniper hac's in to get an easy kill. 6-24 had no gunners, but we all watched astonished as it immediately targeted the hostile recon ships and blew them up quicker than the enemy fleet could lock the lone blue AFK cruiser.  Eventually the few remaining ships of the BoB fleet withdrew, leaving a trail of shattered and wrecked ships behind them.


Only then, with the enemies defeated, did 6-24 pod the blue AFK cruiser. Not only was that thing evil, it had a sense of humour.

From the eve forum, on the importance of not staying in Empire.

Please, please. If you're a newb like I am, don't hang out in Empire thinking you need to make ISK. You don't. Come to Delve, get a frigate and earn ISK when it's quiet but more importantly blow shit up. Seriously we blew up a lot of stuff tonight and while my contribution was minimal it was really neat to see - cause major stuff went BBOOOOOOOM. Which is why we play internet spaceships. So forget your reservations. Join up. Get to Delve. Watch shit go Boom. *And* Make ISK.

[Numtini]

I got an email for a five day free activation anytime from now until the end of the year. If you resub during it, you get first three months for 9.95 each.

For those of the Voyager I & II generation who like pretty fly-bys of planets, here is a tour of some of the new planets from the Dominion release in an official CCP video: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/setView/videos/gameID/14/videoId/1578

Ahh 6-24. I actually made a video that showed it in action. Its at 2:45 in this. That was when it had just awoken and people had nievely named it "Witness the awsome firepower of this fully armed and operational battlestation" What you are seeing there is it shooting carriers that are trying to repair its shields back to strenght. Of course people had to try and repair the the carrier which meant that 6-24 turned its rage on them for denying it its kill. They eventually had to spider tank each other just to repair that bloody thing.

That's gorgeous. I did a few flybys of planets like those last night when I bought my gift ship in from empire.

That said, Eve needs some orbitals now.

5 buck Eve subs are back! http://store.steampowered.com/app/8500/

Time for a few months on my mains at $5 a pop and some 51-day jihad alts!

You can use this for your main?  How do you do that?

[IainC]

The accounts come with two months worth of PLEXes, you just give them to your main instead of using them on the new account.

so if I buy one of these, where do I find the plex?  In other words, don't you have to login the game to sell a plex? 

[Kitsune]

Could you enlighten the masses about how to use the Steam version to gather $5 PLEX codes?  That's something of a fair l'il bit of interest to me.

[EDIT: Okay, I threw five bucks at the problem to solve it myself, and now understand Nerf's scam.  Here's the deal:]

Step 1: Have an active EVE account.
Step 2: Make a free 'Buddy' account with 21 days of playtime, registered under a different mail address.
Step 3: Buy EVE on Steam for $5.
Step 4: Right-click on EVE in your game listing in Steam, select Properties.  You'll see a window with a note saying that you need an account.
Step 5: Click on the 'Go to account website' button.
Step 6: The EVE website will ask whether you want to make a new account (you don't), or add the thirty days of play to an existing trial account (you do).
Step 7: Put in the username and password of the buddy account from step 2.
Step 8: 30 days playtime will be added to the buddy account.  In addition, since the buddy account is now a 'paying' account, you get 30 days added to the main account, too.
Step 9: (Optional) Use the 51 days to train the buddy account up as high as you can in some useful trade.
Step 10: (Optional) Pay $20 to transfer the buddy character into your main account when the 51 days are up.
Step 10a: (Other optional) Sell the buddy character to someone else for in-game cash.

So in the end here, $25 gets you an extra month of playtime on your main account, and a decently-trained alt who can be off doing something money-making like research while your main character pew-pews.  Not a bad bargain.  Alternately, if you don't give a damn about having a research mule making you money, you can just take the month of playtime for $5 and consider yourself ahead on the bargain.

We spent a few hours in highsec tonight.

https://killboard.goonfleet.com/km/441204 - This is a pricy loss for the target, but we just did it for fun after...

https://killboard.goonfleet.com/km/441177 - This made us more money each than if we'd just spent the entire time with every single one of us doing PvE.

Now we have to go try and win a war 

[Endie]

For those interested in the scale of ths ships we fly, here is a short video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOJIyTHgwGQ

It starts off with rifters and kestrels, which newbies fly.  They're the sive of large houses.  Then through cruisers up to vast battleships that dwarf tower-blocks.

I hope that a spin-off of incarna is the ability to walk through your ship some time.

[Numtini]

Gods you people are evil. Can you set a clone out there or is it travel by suicide?

[Gets]

You can podjump or fly manually if you want to bring a few things with you. In the latter case you need a scout though, but it's easy and only a handful of jumps from Empire using bridges.

Jumpclone installations also cost nothing if you want to save time travelling in the future.

Though there rarely any need to bring stuff with you.

Delve is as well stocked any secondary market hub, and either you are a new player who doesn't own anything worth hauling, or you are a vet who can afford to pay a hauler.

[Kageru]

Delve is the best place in Eve to make money, but that can be tricky for the first couple of weeks or so, and you'd be dependent on others while you do so.  But if you sign up you'll be given ships, money and advice.  If you are a keen PvPer you'll sign on with Homeland Defence and find tons of gangs, camps and roams going on in your timezone.  You will not need money for ages, because if you are killing anything we'll know you're already addicted and we'll give you all the free shit you need.

How quickly things change.

Still, I intend to give Eve a try at some point.. so once the dust has settled and you are not in "lockdown for war" maybe make a recruitment thread with the new reality.

Well, we're going to be space-poor pvping types now, but I would suggest to the rest of the corp that now is a very good time to be more liberal in accepting F13 posters again.  After all, we're no longer fighting The Great Struggle, and spies don't matter a fuck when we hold no sov!

[Mnemon]

not sure if the offer still stands, but if somebody has a buddy trial I'd love to give EVE a serious shot.

  Woo, I knew there was a reason I was still lurking this thread!

  If my still super-low post count qualifies me, I'm interested.  I've been playing since last December, and have most recently been dividing my time between doing level 4s while bored out of my tree and doing level 4s while losing drakes, in about equal proportions.

[Phildo]

I'm also inclined to say welcome aboard more freely now, but that's not official policy yet.  I'll have a word with the important folks.

You have six posts in two months and every single one is in this thread.  I wouldn't hold my breath.

  lol, hopes stymied again!  FWIW, I read the war thread incessantly, I'm just not a forum-posting kind of guy.  But I understand that the focus is F13, and just reading does not an F13-er make.  Not to worry, thanks anyway.  :)
