Actually, I am thinking of instead being a producer of some sort.. Lag in fight will probably be bad. Not to mention the difficulty curve in fights.

You can run fine as caldari for the high attributes, then train for gallente ships.Bulletinmybrain said:I am probably going to be starting up a membership this Christmas so see you guys soon.
I am going to be a droner by the way, so I am probably going to be a Gallent. Motherships look too good... 25 drones...
Says the man who has a caldari character in a gallente battleship =)
I am half/half on characters. My computer can't really play it well, so manafacturing/science=awesome. But! Motherships are epic...Theo Samaritan said:You can run fine as caldari for the high attributes, then train for gallente ships.Bulletinmybrain said:I am probably going to be starting up a membership this Christmas so see you guys soon.

Probably going to be a manafacturer/miner/scientist. Incredible HULK.
Sign me up- I've only been a member of the game for around a month, but I'm a fan!
The only problem is that I don't have EVE registered on Steam- I purchased it through the EVE website, so Steam refuses to acknowledge that I even own the thing....

So lets start one! I'll start it when I get home from work. I have been playing for a while now, Champion server, if anyone is interested. my global id is my name here. Anyway, I may take an EVE trial for a spin, it looks interesting.
Get out of my races ships!!!Theo Samaritan said:You can run fine as caldari for the high attributes, then train for gallente ships.Bulletinmybrain said:I am probably going to be starting up a membership this Christmas so see you guys soon.

You can download the EVE client on steam for free y'know.Jamanticus said:
And cousin, NO. I was born before this ship existed!
Really? But, doesn't Steam require that you pay for your subscription through it, as well?Theo Samaritan said:
Nope. Search it, the client is shown as a free download.
I wouldn't though, the hours played is quite disturbing.

I'm In... I'm just not running it through steam.... and It's a trial....that and I fucked up my Amarr already. I'm going back to MinmatarrDanny Ocean said:

Unfortunately, hasn't been this case for many a month. Year even. Nobody takes them seriously anymore, and after my own stint as a lecturer (and associated opening to the public of a few home truths [http://www.eve-search.com/thread/782035/page/1]) I can see why.paulgruberman said:
Deleting my trial and downloading the client through steam. Should still work. And then I have to source myself a pre-paid credit card for more game time.Theo Samaritan said:
Update on my character...
Close range combat Rifter. (Minmatarr here)
2 125mm gatling guns with various ammo types
2 rocket launchers with a lot of rockets
1 1MN afterburner
1 Shield repairer.
I am still sourcing more stuff.. By tomorrow I shall have a Stasis Webifier (I have it just cant equip it)
You can pay with paypal. Give me a poke on steam via the L4D group and I'll link you where needbe.smallharmlesskitten said:
Good man! Rifter is a lovely frigate, very flexible. It's possible to get a medium shield booster on there, although cap is an issue. I spent most of my career in rifters, so feel free to ask for advice.smallharmlesskitten said:
Sad to hear, they helped smooth out the notoriously steep learning curve for a good number of new players over the years. Internal drama seems to be a bigger enemy of corporations and alliances than external hostiles.Theo Samaritan said:
Wow, they really banned the TS' owner from his own server?
I hear that. Damn near every corp I've been in has fallen apart due to that.paulgruberman said:
I'm not on Steam since I'm using the Mac version of EVE. I'm Norjia ingame (there's only one Norjia). Contact me if you're looking to get into the business/industry side of the game.
My combat ships are Abaddon, Dominix, Retribution, and Punisher (for cheap tech 1 frigate 38 dps type stuff). I also use an Amarr cov-ops ship (Anathema I think) for probing, an Iteron V for light hauling, an Obelisk for heavy hauling, a Viator for dangerous hauling, and a Malediction interceptor for travel and trade.
Zealot is next on the list of ships to acquire, and maybe Orca. Weird; I never really noticed how many different ships I have.

It's pretty amazing how you can lose track of the number of ships and random stuff you have across the galaxy, and then open the item menu and see 20 stations with literally hundreds of stacks of different things. I finally made an effort to consolidate and liquidate the excess, but I think I still have 14 systems (aside from my 'real' home bases) where I have stuff at, though most of it is now limited to NPC officer tags or illicit goods. Being a pack rat at heart is tough on logistics.almo said:
One of the more hilarious lines overheard in corp-chat regarding this phenomena: "Clean up your mess, young man, or you can't go out in the galaxy and play with your friends!"
The issue I have is that eventually you get to the point where you stumble across assets you completely forgot about. Its all well and good when its frigates and cruisers, but I keep stumbling onto capital ships I bought years ago =/
Thing is, you need to get aggro of all enemy ships (or atleast the ones you're fighting) before letting your drones loose... else your drones will be dog-food-for-pirates...Bulletinmybrain said:
Oh... and I wouldn't set my hopes too high on attaining a mothership... They're VERY expensive... only high-rankers within big corps and alliances usually use them... And they require loads and loads of skills to be effective too...
