what is the next missle skills or launcher after u upgraded from light missles?
cruise/seige/torpedo/ which is a better one for next ship like cararal or raven or ferox?
*
Frigates = Standard Missile Launchers (level 1 missions)
Cruisers = Assault (level 2 missions) & Heavy (PvP) Missile Launchers
Battlecruisers = Assault & Heavy Missile Launchers (either for level 3 missions)
Battleships = Cruise & Siege Missile Launchers (either for level 4 missions)
smile.gif

And optimum damage for each class of rats:
Standard & Assault => rat frigs
Heavy => rat cruisers & BC
Cruise => rat BC & BS (cruisers recieve about 50% damage only)
Siege (Torpedoes) => rat BS

Aww... Red missed me already?

Yeah, EVE burnout is a common syndrome affecting pod pilots, including yours truly tongue.gif
Better take a break now than suffer total burnout. That'll be bad sad.gif

Fyi my sub just ended, good timing too. Just need a bit change of scene. Don't worry, I'll be back smile.gif

EVE is a long term MMOG, and I know I belonged in EVE smile.gif (but not all the times lah)

hmm... i'm using the trial account at the moment, in my Amarr Punisher.... read up some opinions of users, they fit afterburner to the ship.. and some other stuff which need more skills....arghh..  i'm using armor plate, and armor repairer only..... is it better to have afterburner??

lolz the Amarr agent always provide me with illegal stuff for reward, and even offer me illegal arms in exchange for 200 loyalty points... dunno wth are they thinking... before this, she ask me go collect 30 units of some type of drugs in exchange for 70,000+ isk.... hahahaha....

yeah not to mention some stupid Pax Amarr book (cant remember the name) written by their emperor or somebody.... lolz...

Amarr's specialized in energy turrets which afaik are short range. An afterburner (AB) are needed to get in range either because of impatience or the rats are keeping distance too far for you to hit them shakehead.gif
I remember when ganging an Amarr corpmate in a mission. Me, a true blue Caldarian rails user, sniping happily, while he struggling to get in range just to shoot anything laugh.gif He don't have an AB iirc.

Amarr's are drug junkies.

Another long lost EVE veteren \o/
Old old accounts are retained (I think...)

About a dedicated forum, hmm... better don't imho. It'll be troublesome to maintain. In my experience in MMOG, it'll only be welcomed at the beginning, but later... it'll be nothing more than white elephant.
LYN is good enough already. Anything that is "free" is good enough in my book thumbup.gif (watching out for forum mods)
Also unfortunately and sadly, an average pilots' EVE life are only about 7 months.

Mission tips, basically:
Level 1: Frigates, Destroyers
Level 2: Cruisers
Level 3: Battlecruisers, Battleships
Level 4: Battleships

For newbies, get familiar yourself with tanking. Though level 1s are not that hard yet. In my Caldarian opinion, either get frigs that are good at speed (Condor), damage dealing (Kestrel), or tanking (Merlin). Other races' ships, dunno tongue.gif

Because each races' ships have specific bonuses:

Caldari = Hybrid turrets (Rails/range), Missiles, ECM, and Shield
Gallente = Hybrid turrets (Blasters/damage), drones and (?)
Minmatar = Projectile turrets, and (?)
Amarr = Laser turrets, armour and (?)

Note: (?) means there are more but I know nuts about them tongue.gif

IMO should try to get to lvl3 mission asap since thats where ur isk will start building faster but try to get ur skills (missiles/guns n tanking capability) balance.. Wihtout those u will lose a ship or two but since they can be easily replace then it shuldnt be a problem unless u lose a navy issue ships then that really hurt your wallet. 

Losing ships is part of life in EVE so get use to it..... Lvl4 once u can solo is where the really bucks are in PVE but the jump from lvl3 to lvl4 is a biggie so watch ur self.  But once u can ace lvl4 u get bored pretty soon so then prepare urself for pvp heheehe a totally different ball game. tongue.gif

Haha... quests? Sounds like WoW sweat.gif

The better your standing with the NPC corp you're working with allows you access to better agents.
To know which agents, open up the NPC corp's info. You can open that when you're docked in the NPC corp's station and click the blue info button near the corp's logo. Go to the "Agents" tab. Click to open up which agents' categories you want, for example kill missions category is Command, Surveillance, Internal Security, etc. You'll get list of agents you're allowed and not allowed to.

The more you do missions for an agent, you'll increase "Agent Standing" with that agent. That also increase the agent's corp's standing with you, known as "Corp Standing", but much slower. Then for every 16 (or 18, forgot liao tongue.gif) missions, you'll get Storyline Missions that'll increase "Faction Standing" that the NPC corp affiliated with, a little for the faction's allies, and decrease for the faction's enemies and enemies' allies.

For level 2 missions you'll need at least a cruiser for the job.

Dont go doing lvl2 missions in frigs cause for sure bay tahan unles AF.....Cruisers can do but prolly need some warp out if u have a tough mission ... better bc (rather be safe then pop) .. GE lvl3 bonus room got a BS n usual frigs, cruisers, etc.. but not a problem if u can tank well but then make sure got enuff firepower to bring the bs down (not to mention enuff ammo). 

Hehe i just bought a wireless router thingy so i can play away in another room once my baby girl is born...wife complain say my lappy screen radiation will affect baby so go buy wireless then she say wireless"wave" will also affect baby.. so we get into argument  sad.gif  so sian..

anyways back to eve  biggrin.gif

In GE level 3 (or any level 3s), where got BS? shocking.gif
I see the lappie radiation already affected Red, brain "shorted" liao laugh.gif

Yep, starting level 2s is to learn how to tank.

fuzzybear:
Just decline the mission. Keep in mind that you can only decline a mission for every 4 hours without penalty on the standing with that agent. You should get a pop-up window telling you if you're declining mission again before the 4 hours cooldown is over.
Also you can fail your mission that you are doing/accepted by telling the agent you quit the mission, but you get penalty hit on your agent standing.
I believe Caldari Navy (CN) have all types of kill missions agents (Command, Internal Security, Surveillance, etc).

Btw, fuzzybear, you're not in the "Kopitiam" chat channel?

Get a cruiser for level 2s. You'll get enough ISK for a BC, and the skills for the BC by the time you can do level 3s.

After finding an 8-char macro operation in Charra, I was just thinking...

Why don't a bunch of us start new alts, train for the biggest ships we can, and do a raid, find a particularly large op, preferably after the ebil macroers have had some time to rape those 'roids.

We go in, bump them around, establish who the guards are. We flip a can, try to get aggro. If none, continue with others... If the guard(s) aggros, he goes pop.

When all the cans are flipped, a couple of us start getting out haulers. The rest of us can then happily suicide pop the rets and covs and score some strip miners (hopefully)...

Minimal isk outlay, and some fun to be had doing some PvM... It'll break the regular PvE or PvRoid cycle we got going.
*
Flip you mean take something out of the can? If that is what you meant, they have kill rights on us.

Or... We all use tanked haulers and raid all the cans and run and pray we have minimal or none casualty and profitable raids icon_rolleyes.gif

Or... One of us aggro and tank the guard(s). While the rest of us use haulers, and raid the cans.

I got a specially alt char made last time to kacau somebody. Kena halau by the locals for... inappropriate hassling tongue.gif
If more people join this op and strictly raid AFK macroers only, I can train this alt smile.gif
Yeah, this char is perfect for local chat smacktalk... but I rather not get into the alt's character too much blink.gif

NEED TO KNOW ONLY

Stacking penalty
1st Mod: x1
2nd Mod: x0.87
3rd Mod: x0.57
4th Mod: x0.28
5th Mod: x0.11
6th Mod: x0.03

IIRC, mods that mentioned stacking penalty use this formula. As you can see, it is recommended to use up to 3 mods of same type. More than that it is a waste.

For shield and armour resistance, it has their own calculation and the above stacking penalty as well.
For example, shield's thermal resistance:

Base resistance = 20%
At 20% resist, the shield is vulnerable to 80% damage.

1st mod, a thermal shield resistance amplifier = 32.5%
The hardener will negate 32.5% of from 80% of the damage
Ship resistance
= {Base resist.} + {1st mod resist.)
= {20%} + {32.5/100 x 80%}
= 20% + 26%
= 46% or vulnerable to 54% of damage

If fit in a same mod, 2nd mod = 32.5%
Being a 2nd mod, it'll have a penalty of 0.87 efficiency. So
= 32.5% x 0.87
= 28.275%

Total ship's thermal resistance
= {Base resist} + {1st mod resist.} + {2nd mod resist}
= 20% + 26% + {28.275/100 x 54%}
= 46% + 15.27%
= 61.27%

Notes:
1. Mods that give the best resistance are calculated first.
2. Ship's resistances bonus are calculated last and do not suffer from stacking penalty.
3. Damage Control mod is similar to ship's, that is it is calculated last and do not suffer from stacking penalty.

I think that's all for another fact of EVE. Fly safe smile.gif

You mean Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane? Yep, as long as the second mod (and third and so on) that gives the same resistance type as the first mod, the stacking penalty will apply.
If 3 mods are of different resistance type, then there are no stacking penalty.

Well, as long you know how to survive in EVE, that's the most important thing thumbup.gif

Working person I am. I don't smoke, drink and clubbing. Only occasional eating out and yamcha with friends. TV bored me.
I don't have the time to grind level in today's typical MMORPGs.
So I end up in EVE smile.gif
Worth to mention is the maturity of EVE's players, not all but mostly it is there. Well... except a few occasions of D*n**l T**/H*rn*t### bashing whistling.gif

Welcome, Grimwrath. Your in-game name? Joined the nice in-game Kopitiam channel yet? See you there smile.gif
Normally it is advisable to skip Destroyer and directly train for Cruiser. Level 1 missions are easy for frigates, except World Collides (mass killing wise). Destroyer may make life easier but it'll worth your while to train your supporting skills instead.
Unless you aim to be an Interdictor pilot, yeah, train that Destroyer skill smile.gif
