YOU can do it!

All over the Internet i see guys complaining that EVE is too complex, or too boring or "spreadsheet simulator". I can agree if the game bores you but i can't agree that it's too complex, you need to watch some videos, do the fucking tutorial and use the thing that is called "brain" (i said this earlier too). With almost no help (of course, i asked here and there but most time i was by myself), i made 1bil in my first 3 weeks, solo, and i had a hell lot of fun.

At the moment i don't think there is any game like EVE, in which you can do whatever the fuck you want. If you want to make ISK and don't have time, you can: spend like 1h a day (like croda) and play the markets or go explore solo. If you have time, you can do incursions, ratting. If you want a bit more technical, you do industry, and if you have a lot of time but you need to afk, you mine. That's it, you can make a lot of money in a lot of ways, you need to use your fucking brain and (like markeedragon said) if you can succeed in EVE you can succeed in life.

I will write some tutorials on how you can make money, just need to think at them. More to come!

When you help somebody...

I am new to EVE compared to guys that play from the beggining so i ask a lot of questions, what i should fit here?, should i go there? etc but also i am a bit more experienced than newbros and i have a lot of fun teaching them.

Yesterday, a guy that joined AirHogs a day ago (ISKHogs - FW part of AirHogs) and that didn't knew what FW involve (he was poded in hisec with most of his items), wanted to quit the corp. I asked him why and he said that those things (PvP) are far more late in game than he is (he has like 1.5mil sp).

We then begun a conversation about how to get money and have fun doing FW, a conversation that lasted almost 3 hours! But it was my best time in EVE so far, i brought him to Rens, explained how to fit a ship for PvP (an Incursus for the moment), how to choose what system to do plexes as a noob and at the end of conversation i gave him like 30mil for future fits and he was very thankful.

The feeling that you helped somebody is just awesome and i say that all veterans should help the noobs if they have time to do it properly.

Do you barge, bro?

Some guys like to break the meta and to be creative about PvP, one of those guys is Leo07 that came with a Procurer (yes, a Procurer) fit which pretty much fucked anything that you will encounter in a FW battle. Below are some of his best preys (and two loses, but the fit pays of in my opinion), really impresive!

In the end here is Leo's message for newbros in PVP: "anything is possible when you believe in yourself". Thanks Leo!

Scan Pierre, scan!

In EVE, especially when you explore, fw or in almost any thing that requires to undock and go to a less safe place. I did a hell lot of exploration and now i am dancing with fw so d-scan is mandatory in both of them. Usually, i don't d-scan if i am alone in the system (or with friends) but i am starting to scan even if i am solo in the system, the paranoia is strong when you know you can't hit back most of the times. Even if i am starting to be paranoid, d-scan is a really good method to see what's coming to you and if you can/want to fight it.

Smashing rats for fun

I said in early post that i hate to do missions, or even rat for a longer time than 10 minutes, because i am bored to look at some lasers or missiles that shoots some (mostly) static target and to get like 1mil ISK.

As i moved my most business to null sec, i started to rat in a Vexor Navy Issue with a t1/meta 4 fit with a mate. It was fun, i did it like 3 times until now and i got like 30mil per hour + loot price that i will get at the end of the month, a good income if you have free time.

We run the sites in about 10 minutes if we are just two (a battleship and my VNY) and way less if we are three or more, so more guys, faster clean, more ISK. I can tank pretty OK any anomalies (we don't run combat sites, not me at least) in Providence with the fit on the bottom of the post, sadly i can't go in expeditions as they have way more damage.

I will do more ratting when i will have free time and nothing to do but for the the early future (is that even an expression?) i will try to explore so i can fund my PLEX (and maybe fill a bit of my goal, i don't think i can do it in 2 days as i am lazy as fuck).

Here's the fit i use, cost me like 90mil but in Jita you can get it cheaper, also it's really easy to fly by a noob (as me) in PVE. You can use all modules but repairer and afterburner without running off capacitor and the sentryes can bring a good junk of damage to any rats in anomalies. This fit is meant to be used with a friend that has at least a battleship and can tank most of the damage, just don't try to rat in this in null without a friend, you can try in hisec and maybe in null with t2 things but i recommend getting a battleship as fast as posible (i will do it too).
