LOL we veteren have gone through many times of patching days headache/heartache you're having now.

Like I said before, set long skills unless you feel very very lucky.

LOOOOONGGGGG SKIIIILLLLLSSSSS!!!!!!!

After every patch be it big or small set long skills until it stabilise ... dragon code ..... wat a weird name!!!!

Got big patch tmr. Time for a lvl 5 skill.

Lucky I got new single player games to keep me occupied for the next few days.

Let's hope this patch does more good than harm.

Ahhh, patch agan sien.................. Now i am damn busy with EXAM and GF , so wont see me always online , have to wait till end of the month... Good luck to u guys!!

Haha

"Patch deployment finished early."

I think CCP got sick of the forum whining and allocated 4 hours for a 2 hour patch just to shut them up

Let's hope this early deployment doesn't mean extended remedial work.

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)


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

Check out the Missile Guide on the main website. It explains a lot, especially the more difficult concepts like sig radius and explosion velocity. It'll basically explain why cruise and siege (torpedo) launchers are relatively ineffective vs small and fast rats.

We now have alot of new ppl in eve.......until i lose track oredi....but some veterans are logging in less .... which i attribute to Eve burnout.. i hope they will come back someday.

Missiles.......yummy good... kestrels, caracasl, ravens n gila (not mad but the name of the ship)

Adding this post so we will be back to page1 ler in LYN post more guys

cya in eve later

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...

Aww... Red missed me already?

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

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

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

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
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 He don't have an AB iirc.

Amarr's are drug junkies.

whoa... i see... lolz, now i get the idea. thx

on veterans not being on and not being able to keep tab of the msian/singaporean eve community.. i think its time that we start to think of organising our own forum board/site rather than piggy back on lowyat.

Flying around in my Executioner equipped with 2 Railgun (since im not a miner) looking for missions.

What's the next ship that you all can recommend me to buy? or should i pump up my ISK first... ?

Plates and repairers are lowslot things, so it won't get in the way of a midslot AB. You'd probably need some capacitor mods to keep the AB/repper/hardeners going.

Ignore and refuse the druggy offers... Save the LP for nicer shinier things. Damn Pax Amarr books.. I got 30 as a bonus. I'd much rather the isk.

Executioner is an amarr ship, so you should equip with laser turrets (pulse or beam) , not rail guns...

And if u planning to be a fully combat pilot, then u should progress to the next frigate, Punisher,that will make your Level 1 missions easier.

wow..it's been a while

*sigh* i can't play any game rite now..always tired after work but really looking forward to play EVE again but dunno when..

oh..forget bout my account already closed but they not delete my account rite? too tired for lvling skills which take a lot of times

aarghh..miss EVE world so bad lah..top up card still available?

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 (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

Can i actually buy the cards in Johor.. Batu Pahat? Doesn't see it anywhere


And why Laser over Railguns ??

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.
