Your satisfaction depends on your objective. Death is an unpleasant experience. Death hurts your reputation. PvP'ers proud with their killboard and choose stats that benefit them. Some use ISK as indicator to show their performance on big fleet fights while others based on points, to show their expertise in solo and small gang engagement. A death, especially in an expensive ship will often ruin the killboard.

For me, who live in null-sec, each engagement is important. Every fight news you read in either EveNews24 or The Mittani often requires careful preparation. Accident supers tackled? Don't get the heading fools you. What the news does not report is how persistence they watch the supers movement for months. Preparation is necessary as a small mistake leads to the lost of the entire 250-man fleet but the result is priceless. Your killboard is red? Well, if it is red full of logi and ewar, anyone will welcome you. In fact, someone will sponsored you a carrier once you have enough SP points.

Hate being told what to do? Perhaps you might think FC job is glorious because everybody follow his command. You will be celebrated until you make a mistake. You want to be the top damage dealer? I don't think with your 8 mil SP points will get you there.

In null-sec, support ships play the same important role as damage dealer ships. Veterans can also fly 'em but it would be inefficient to use their years of training to just fly ewar. When they lack numbers, they have to sacrifice a few of them for ewar/logistic. Ewar and logistic require less training to be useful. A successful fleet requires ewar and logistic. Damping the enemy logi breaks their tank, target painting helps damage dealer, web and scram catch the FC ships. People usually hate the role because they feel unworthy, not glorious and unpopular.

Not all death are sad experiences. A death because of good fight where your enemy left at 1% hull often brings you smile. Same goes if you know that your death help your fleet win strategic objective. For example, you die in a logi but your enemy pay with 5 tengus. Your death helps your corp obtained the solar system, aids your alliance own the constellation, and supports your coalition foothold on the entire region. You will be rewarded with a system where you get to rat and earn 20 mil per tick (or 60 mil per hour) or mine enough minerals to develop the region. This happen if you are on the winning side. If you are lost, then you need to retreat, revise your strategy and keep trying.

After all, nothing stays the same in Eve. Every change brings opportunity. With a right group, you will reach your opportunity faster.

You need to use Steam to play Eve using Steam account.

It is much cheaper to subscribe it using Steam rather than buying it directly CCP because of Steam policy to give cheaper price for non-developed countries like Southeast Asia. Plus, you get additional items that helps you accelerate your progress. It is much better than playing with trial account.

If you buy PLEX (ingame item), your subscription starts from the moment you activate it. If you buy gametime, your subscription activates once you purchase it.

It's entirely different game than other training-based MMORPG like WoW. No experience grinding required as all skills are train in real-time. The only grinding you'll be doing is to get money to buy items you want or mining asteroid to manufacture your desired items.

In Eve, the more SP you have, the more interesting it gets. The game keeps changing every release so although a person has been playing it since the beginning, he still need to relearn back.

My advice is to simple start the trial first using non-steam account. Contact us in-game through my corp public channel "Tapir Den" or kopitiam channel. If you find it interesting, then you can use steam account. The downside is you will lose the trial time as you need to start back from the beginning.

Yes. It is expired whether you play or not.

Yeah. Feel you bro. Too bad we need young blood in the game but for students in SEA, it is just too expensive.

You may want your cyno alt on different account, because you cannot play any characters that are in the same account.

Join our public channel, "Tapir Den". We are based out in null-sec. If you have total SP less than 2 millions, you will have a hard time in null-sec.

Well, we are regrouping and re-evaluating our activities. Most members are getting busier so they might not online or unsub. Tapir do purge inactive members due to alliance requirement.

It is just the time of the year where people are getting busy. SEA TZ play-style for us more like community gaming. For hardcore people, they are likely to join elite alliance such as PL and NC. Some members in the corp have grow and move into more active pvp style so there's no stopping them. Kenshin, a DARKNESS corporation is one of the good corporation you can join as they are active close to GMT+8. They do got Titan killed few days ago during our GMT+8.

I'm myself not in Tapir at the moment. Moving to somewhere more active region (Querious) with an alliance that can accept my play style. I'm more strictly play during GMT+8. Is just ridiculous for me have to be together in US/EU TZ as it is out of my time. I just happen to meet alliance that can accept my play-style. Well, they do have out of time meeting but at least they are not forcing me to participate in US TZ CTA and sacrifice my real life. During GMT+8, the CTA most likely will be lead by my corporation or the coalition FC.

After all, real life come first.

Always +1 wins.

Well, the usual cycle is:
NZ TZ > AU TZ > SEA TZ > EU TZ > US TZ

I'm not sure what will happened with the upcoming Citadel release.

Just ratting in NS. You can get 43mil to 60mil in 20 minutes. You can get 1b easily.

Having said that, "that guy" has been playing for such a long time. If you are just starting an alpha clone, you can't reach that level with ratting. Even if you decide to start Omega clone, you need at least minimum 2 years of skills (about 15mil SP / 33 skill injector) to reach that level. Not including the cost of buying the right skill book.

In short, you need to let Eve makes money out of you, before you can start playing for free.

But, if you're an alpha, just stick around in ingame chat channel "Kopitiam". Usually there are a few good guys who a re willing to give you some isk for start.

You mean this killmail?

It shows a detailed record when you get killed. Useful information to know what you had lost.

Based on the killmail it shows you are mining in Ouelletta (Ouelletta IV - Asteroid Belt 1).

I think this is your first time mining in low sec (LS). You might think mining there is more profitable due the ore in low sec. What you don't have is the skill to mine safely in such location. You can cleverly choose the best time to mine where you are the only player in a system but getting that condition is usually hard. Your mining activity will be usually disrupted by a pilot entering the system. Once he knows you are in a mining ship, there is a high chance he might stick around to kill you until you log off. You will get angry because someone just disrupt your mining and you had no chance to deal with it.

One of the main pre-requisite to mine safely in LS and NS (null-sec) is to be part of the living entity in the region (player corp who lives in the area). If you are just a lonely character, chances are people would be able to track you and kill you off easily.

I once had the same thinking. Lost a mining barge (retriever) in LS. Took awhile to mine back to buy back the retriever and it is painful because I'm alone. Once I am a part of low sec entity, I could mine more peaceful. Once I had proper skill, I'm able to mine in null-sec. But I guess mining in null-sec might not be suitable for alpha clone player as the rats there can easily blow up a venture.

Be in a corp. I'm sure there are corps out there that could help you.

Well, SEA TZ is always a ghost time. Rarely encounter good fight.

I find the latest expansion does not give me enough interest to be active back.

Hey guys, the next February update is coming.
