Haih the price is really tempting but too lazy to start new toon. What's the downside of having the account on steam though?

down side? access via steam and if you wanna sell the account or the toon you might face difficulty

Oh not really that bad la, thought something like terrible connection or so.
Hopefully black friday will have good offers to current subcriber on CCP page.

the t3 dessies still broken in test server. mode does not even work

Well for some of us who already have accounts directly with CCP, having steam meant we might have to download twice during patch day >.< I haven't really experimented the suggested methods to overcome this so if anyone knows, please share.

For those of you who are new or thinking of joining this game, don't worry too much and just subs from steam. The gist of it is, steam is currently cheaper plex wise and subs wise so no point worrying about the future (selling chars). Even if you want to sell characters, just use steam, start a new char with trial account directly with CCP and use your steam account to buy plex to train. It'll still be cheaper and you'll still need a steam account (to buy cheap plex).

Anyway fly safe.

PS: Veterans of Eve, please consider joining HNL to help us out, just give me/Occitane/Sinie a holler if you want to join.

OMG this is brilliant, in fact with the plex pricing in our currency it's cheaper to continue our subs for CCP account with plex (for long term subscription plan). No wonder the plex price are dropping now.

if you have steam account, can you sell me the PLEX? it is only rm32 now.

Lol just get a sub hulk, RM10 only and get 12 plex for 1 year. Cheaper by rm50 even with Amazon Black Friday Sales last year (USD100)

This I copied from Steam Eve Online forum found via Google. It should work hopefully for vets who wanted a Steam account.

based on the EVE sales history, 6 plex is enough to get discount sub until the next sale on eve.

Hi there. Because of the sale, I'm gonna buy an EVE subscription on Steam. Probably going to start with Minmatar. Not gonna be playing til like mid December though (exams), so what should I set to train since I have about 15-20 days of training to fill before I can really start playing?

Looking forward to playing with you guys in future, hahah.

Not sure how steam works but I think the subs countdown work immediately on the day you bought it. Maybe others can clarify

I'll suggest focus on the core skills, these skills applies to any ships you'll pilot. (this would be on the assumption you'll be doing PVE/PVP combat, mining/industry/trading would require different skill set)

Core skills:
- Powergrid management
- CPU management
- Capacitor management, capacitor emission system
- Navigation
- Targeting management, signature analysis
- (Any other advance skills from "Engineering, Navigation, Targeting" skill-group, order them in a way you think which will be more useful to you first)

Weapon skills: (Assuming you're using minmatar ships with emphasis on projectile weapons)
- Small projectile turret (for enhancing autocannon/artillery turrets)
- Any skills that affects "turret" weapons from the Gunnery skill-group

Defense skills:
- Look into Armor and Shield skill-group. Focus only on one of them in the early stage. (Calling for Minmatar vets to guide him on this, I'm no Min pilot)

Skill training tips:
- DO NOT rush to pilot big badass ships like Battleships until you have the core/support skills trained up. Rushing for big ships is equivalent to upgrading your "real life" fishing ship into aircraft carrier ship, but that aircraft carrier has no radar, no fighters, no combat boat, etc. Just a useless aircraft carrier hull floating in the sea waiting to be sunk by others.
- There's no need to rush for max each skill (Level 5) unless you're very sure you want it to be. It only takes about 20% of total time to train for 80% skill efficiency (Level 4).

the sub will start on the day you bought them.

as for useful skilz to train - depend on your play style. but getting them to 4 is enough in most cases but getting them to 5 is highly encourage as they unlock additional new skill to learn and also unlock the t2 items which is better (mainly ammo)

if you are just started find a way to make isk that is fun to you that does not feel like a grind or better still join a corp.

BEWARE OF SCAMMER AND AWOXER.

joining a corp will help you tremendously (get a ts3 client for voice com - typing can be tedious).

you can look for same TZ corp or those that has presence 23/7 in all TZ.

Ahhh. Thanks for all the advice, mrhulk, sumjs and Z1gy. I set my skills to train for about 20+ days, hahaha. Got about 80% of what you guys mentioned down. Thanks, I'll see you guys in a couple weeks.

I'm Koda Sandeval in game, if you're interested.

anyone play eve through steam? need help buying plex from steam. thanks !
