QUOTE(exshige @ Jul 11 2006, 10:51 AM)
retired from WoW and was recommended by my fren to EVE when talking about the upcoming Darkstar One, privateer-like game. So do some reading.
The gameplay seem not bad.. i like the idea of able to hurt other corporation and the cost of dying which is absent in WoW. Give u thrill and suspense.
After reading for few days, i still have some confusion,
1. Can i jump profession easily? Say I start to be a miner so i focus on mining skill, then later on i want to train my gunnery and become fighter, is tat okay?
2. Is joining a corporation rili crucial in further advance ur career and character?
3. U lost the ship if it get destroyed.. i like it. But will it make the game hard coz u lose all ur mods and ship? Coz i die thousand of times in WoW due to PVP.. lol..
4. Wat is the ultimate goal? Is there an ultimate storyline or just get a corp out and be the richesh biggest most influencial corp?
5. So wat you do daily mostly?
6. I read about mission, can we do mission in group or only solo?
7. Is the server stable after so many years?
8. How come Gamespot rate it 6++ score only...?
Hope you don't mind my long list of question..
Thanks.
1. Yep, it's up to you what skills you want to train. In the end of the day, it's what you do is what you are.
You can specialize, mix-n-match or be Jack-of-all-trade if you want. Just plan out what skills you'll need for your career(s). Like me, as a Mission Runner and small part-time Miner, have a lot of combat related skills and least of (useful) mining skills. And there's chances you might not like the career you had in mind you would like it to be and want to try other careers. That won't hurt you much to train other skills, it's just that you'll spend the ISK (EVE monetory) on the skill books and don't train too much on it.
2. Corps could be solely a mining/manufacturing corp, PvE corp, PvP corp, pirate corp, or mixed.
Join a corp if you want more interactions, such as chatting
, corp activities/operations (mining, mission, complexes, ratting, gatecamping(PvP only), etc), or access to 0.0 space (not that you can't go in alone, but you'll end up dead sooner
either in neutral or Alliance owned).
3. There're chances you can recover some mods and your cargo, well only in PvE. There's very little or no chance in that in PvP
Yeah, it's hard, but you get to insure your ship though. At highest insurance price you get full ship price (market standard price). Just prepare to replace the mods with the ISK from your own wallet :|
4. Like Red said, EVE is pretty much open ended. My current goal is to own a few of them T2 ships
5. Mission running, hanging out in either in my corp or Kopitiam
6. Both and like what Red said.
7. Pretty much stable... only occasional lag. Normally i'll get 300~400 ms'ish ping (yes, i check ping before i go into mission
). Not sure if it's Screamyx or the server side
8. Like Throk said: Old news. The review stated 5000~6000 people online, 3 years ago. Now, at least 13k. Weekend 19k.
Just a few warning for you. EVE Online's learning curve is steep. It takes patient to learn EVE. We have "kaki-kaki lepak" in Kopitiam to help you if you need it
Afterwards, prepare for EVE addiction.
Also, if already you know about the character's attributes and how it'll affect your gameplay, it's all good.
If not, make a temporary char (it takes about 10 hours to permenantly delete a char, a safety feature), join Kopitiam channel and we can explain it to you

. train more skill (tech 2 laser & range enhancement for turret) or buy some implant will do the trick. the problem then is money which is always not very welcomed. 
..... that takes longer then 14D
