I’ve been thinking of trying eve but have a couple questions?

Is this game actually free to play or do I have to have the subscription?or will I run into a paywall that will stop me from progressing?

Good chance I will be playing solo, would that be a dealbreaker? Could I stay solo or would I have to join an corp to do anything?

Does the game require you to play daily or can I play can take breaks from it and return to not chaos?

Dear Eva players. Could you please tell me where I can download an excel form to calculate the materials needed to make fuel blocks. Thanks in advance.

I had been using two armor repairers in the top slots, but after a few missions realized I never used them.
I was thinking of adding 425mm I Railguns since thats the highest I can use.
Anything else yall can think of?

I tried installing EVE through steam. I pressed play and tried installing the game. I accidentally clicked through the install folder prompts and it keeps giving me the error there isn't enough space. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it on the other drive. Delete the shared cache and other things. No matter how many times I launch it. It keeps installing to my C:\ drive. How can I change the install directory?

The station, the ship and the character - just couldn't help myself

Fill your Prospect with certain ores found in Thera, bring it to Station: 'Thera XIV - The Sanctuary Fullerene Loom' and accept the contract.

Will cost you no ISK and only 2% of your laser-firing time.

Uses the in-game contract mechanism for your peace of mind.

(Use SHIFT+CLICK+DRAG to split your quantities if needed)

Happy Mining

Post says it all. Was curious if this was still a thing.

The Incursion of Gulmorogod of the Angel Cartel affected alot of different systems and lot of different constellations. With Vangaurd having a heavier affect on the outcome of different systems this time there were some systems that actually were flipped, due to vanguard activity on the supression or pirate site.

I'm asking the community and folks who may have played vangaurd how do you feel about this? There were obviosuly efforts on the Minmatar Side to keep that region suppressed but there very much was a percentage increase via vangaurd (like there was on the guristas side earlier)

For those that were actually fighting in space, did you notice? For those fighting the 9v9's (which is what won the supression) what influenced you to pick X faction over the other? What would make you care about whats happening on the ground/space? Also, when CCP says "Your impact will shape actions in EVE" what does that mean to you? Does this give you any incentive to help/hinder faction warfare elements? I don't think anything happened on the null sec side of things, but what would you all want to see happen on that front?

There were lore mentions here
Vanguard Deployments Recede After Two Weeks of Intense Activity | EVE Universe

Something else, How do people feel about the loop of getting geared via the *Extraction Shooter* then going into the 9v9 for the outcome of suppression vs insurgency gain? Really more of a vangaurd question but I'd figure I'd ask anyway.

Personally, right now suppression isn't something thats really fought for on the space side of things for EVE unless it affects the space you live in. I like fact that ground battles matter in a way and this first iteration of that tested some functionality I feel is key inorder to iterate in the future. I'm not really sure on the values that it did if that was balanced perse, but I don't remember seeing any systems actually flip due to supression on the ground (could be wrong though) Biggest thing to me, if the cycle of spawns keep flipping every insurgency on the FW side and keeping the nullsec side of things constant stays, and there is some kind of reward/incentive for EVE players to interact with this system from the space side (like an item or something that generates, or if EVE players really are able to make contracts that are sent to Vangaurd players that they can complete, it may certain high sec systems worth living in again that are closer to the warzone or potentially able to be affected by the insurgency.

Basically I liked what I got to experience, and for sure see the potential, but I want to know what you all think about the implementation that has actually affected EVE.

Spent a strait hour opening 180 odd event mining crates last night.

Some of that time could be attributed to me trying to open them in Jita, but still reallllly grindy to get your rewards for doing something already really grindy. you actually have to consider the time spent doing this when considering isk/hour vs the other forms of event stuff.

my hand hurts now.

Well I was kicked out from my corporation due to afk, and I am wondering in null sec pointlessly thinking about my future.

I like the Dominix navy issue very much so I made a pve build personally for ratting, and I also do PI, which is the most profitable activity for me.

I am looking for a place to do both of them, pve and PI. High and low sec is poor for PI as I know and I am choosing from null and wormhole space. I’m looking for wormhole space actually however I do worry about the combat sites being too difficult, having no support from corp and the logistics problems, I do afraid getting lost lol.

Maybe I should join a corp with both null and wormhole activity? But where should I set my base in as getting from wh to pocket could be tricky.

My question may seem to be pointless whinging to you, but I do really need some opinions, thank you for reading.

Just bought the weekend fleet pack, never bought anything before. It’s an epic integrated account, and I was just wondering if I had to do something to transfer the purchase to the account or if I just have to wait and I will be able to redeem it to one of the characters when it does show up. I’m just impatient, thanks in advance.

Hello all,

I have pop_os, I want to install eve online, I don't want to use steam proton.

I prefer wine or lutris.

I tested with lutris, when I click in lutris to play eve online, I saw he start and stop 3/4 seconds after, I don't see launcher eve online, just on lutris.

If you have idea to resolve problem, I really appreciate your help.

Have a good day pilot!

My husband and I are looking for a new corp to join. Preferences/Requirements:

-A fun respectful atmosphere -USTZ -Players willing to hop on and PVP, and room for an FC (my husband loves to FC) -Room for someone who isn't an expert (me) -Did I mention fun? This is a game, afterall. :)

We can offer a pair of good-humored players, and one FC who is always up to try new things, and loves building fits. He's also a great mentor and good with pilots of all levels.

It seems like everywhere I go that has ice is the "fading volatile ice" which is way less rewarding than the regular ice anomalies to mine...Is there an easy way to find them? It seems like everywhere I look when using the resource harvesting agency it will say "unkown ice belt" and when I go there it's the event ice.

Hi! I can't afford Omega (and as well don't wanna make EVE a full-time job to pay for it with ISK) but I really like exploration. Currently I'm just scanning stuff in high-sec near Jita with random raids to adjacent low-sec. What are the possibilities for solo noob explorer and what kind of stuff I can do to increase my profits as poor Heron or other T1 ship?

I was in jita last night and some dude was spamming local with a contract " urgent want to buy 1000 Plex for 6.7B"

I had a look at the market and you can buy 1000 Plex for about 6.6 B in jita so it makes me wonder, is this guy just fucking dumb, especially if it's as urgent as he says or is there some hidden scam I'm not seeing. The contract looked legit, give him 1000 Plex and he gives you 6.7B.

Or is this a bot created to drive the price of Plex up?

AAR: got word that we had a friendly azbel coming out of anchoring, was given orders to take CFI and go do what we could 

we got to t-r and got on the fortizar, the azbel anchored but there was a 70 man barghest fleet in u-l heading our way. i got our feet on the 7md gate and kept bubbles up. we popped small tackle and some cynos on the gate. HTP managed to get a cyno into system and brought a phoenix into system. we went for the cyno, killed it right as a carrier conduited raven fleet in.

 We disengaged and got back on the 7MD gate with the hopes of killing some barghests. stalemate at the gate neither fleet wanting to jump in.

FL33T finally jumped in and we engaged. reasoning for engagement was we had bubbles between us and them, and the route to the fortizar was clear. once we got engaged, synergy of steel, init, and sib squad fleets jumped in and they jumped in taking us from even numbers on the gate to out numbered 3-1 on gate, 4-1 in system. i got immediately tackled, tried to get my fleet out, but the trap was perfectly executed and there was nothing we could do.

I made the call NOT to core the Azbel when RC came in with ravens, knowing we could not defend the structure. i had no intel on Syn, init, or sibsquad and they caught us completely by surprise with them coming in.

Took the fight knowing how it would end, got caught in trap and paid for it

We knew that FL33T had Barghests in about equal numbers to our CFI, I knew going in we couldnt trade with them. I also knew that RC was formed in Ravens and caps, and that we couldnt fight both groups at all. Knowing this I formed and took the fight hoping to kill some barghest before getting my fleet out. I had no intel on Syn, init, or SibSquad, but in hindsight i should have expected them RC cant fight us in EU timezone without bringing in massive support.

NYG FCs love to fight, and backing down is not an option, but the trap was set and executed perfectly. We would have loved to trade with FL33T on the gate in even numbers- a tear of skill and ability, but RC wont ever allow a fair fight they know they’d lose. Thus we were deceived and paid the price.

GF to FL33T, Sad we couldnt throw down like i had hoped. GF to SibSquad, Init, and Synergy of Steel that was perfectly executed.

NYG is Recruiting - come help even the odds and get some good fights

I just had a shower thought even though I haven't showered in weeks.

Whenever CCP implements a change that was requested by players and the CSM, such as:

- dragging multiple skills around in the skill queue

- PI templates

- one click ore compression

players like the change and praise CCP.

Whenever CCP comes up with changes that no one asked for, such as:

- new ship info window

- rats warping into havens

- daily quests and their endless reworks

the change ends up doing more harm than good and players hate it.

I have played Eve on and off over a few years, and wanted to get back into it to have some relaxing off time.

Just got an omega sub and logged in and its just so overwhelming. Its 5 years ago since I played last and I dont really remember anything

I have 3 pilots ranging from 10M-80M, and net worth of about 40B ISK..

What should I do? Im just looking for 2-3 hours per week of relaxed fun

It's my first time in Eve Online and to be honest, I want to be Caldari or Amarr, however their skins are a bit too old-fashioned for me, and really the looks and styles that I like the most are from Minmatar, if I create a Minmatar character can I become Caldari? Or Amarr?

I say this because I know that people sometimes take roleplaying too seriously, and I don't want to get on bad terms with the Caldari or I also want to fight Caldari battles and do Caldari things basically.

PS: Will others even know that I'm from Minmatar?
