Peace/Electro: what are your plans for me? (I'm going to subscribe for a few months at least.) I took Fighter as my starting career, but your money scheme sounds like you need miners and industrial types. Am I flying escort? Gimme a character build plan to follow. I started last night so the ONLY thing I have is Caldari Frigate Rank(2) and I'm working on rank 3.

[Peacemaker]

Thats fine Giga. We will decide who is doing what soon. Possibly tonight. You might be in a defensive role that protects us while we are mineing. It all depends on how good you are in combat. That will be decided in a few days during fleet testing and training. For example I know full well who is going to be one of our defenders, squeeky. Squeeky is an excelent combat pilot and a natural at this. He definatly will be one of our fighters. Electro is going to be because of pure fighter skills. I on the other hand wont be doing much fighting because I am the best miner we have right now. It just all depends on how good you are.

[NightWalker XI]

How do you plan on testing people?

Especially people like me who are newbs, I only start tomorrow around about 1pm or so GMT....

[Peacemaker]

Combat trials can be carried out by anyone in the same corp. I.E. if squeeky angers me I can slam a scourge up his ass and watch the fireworks.
But we wont be destroying eachothers ships. Only down to 50% armor. After that the winner is declared.

Edit: I wont even do that much damage to you nubs seeing as you have to spend money to repair. I on the otherhand will let you beat down on my ship untill I have 10% armor. At that point ill say you won... but you wont get that far.

I want to mount a Cruise Launcher on my Stabber. Will be a tight fit, but I think I can do it. Just need Cruise Missiles now hehe.

[Peacemaker]

I dont think you can do it.... btw Electro has a kessie with 4 standard missle launchers, loaded with havoc heavy missles

[Baneblade]

With engineering 5 and 3 Reactor Control Unit IIs, I can get 1235.7109375 Grid. CL is 1000, so that leaves 235 for lasers, another launcher and shields.

[NightWalker XI]

riiight...well I dunno if I'll be able to be a good combat pilot or what not but I'll keep practising anyway.....heh I haven't even doen tut...ah I'm such a newb...loving it..

[Doppler]

Is there any skill involved in mining in eve or is all pure stat based like it was in E&B both systems have their merits. Jumpgate gave you a bonus to your mining depending on how fast you could circle the rock. Grantted you could just float there and collect but it made a big difrence between us veteran rock lickers and others.

[Baneblade]

It's all stat based. Modifiers based on skills and which laser you have equipped.

Same as pretty much everything in Eve really, weapons do it the same way.

[Doppler]

Yes but isnt the rest of Eves model mostly based on actual skill in dogfighting etc? Or not so much?

[Baneblade]

Not really, it is target and shoot, but that is because a more hands on one would be a lot more laggy.

But when you think about it, it is pretty accurate as a SIM. You are the guy in the ship, not the ship itself. So if you think about it like that, the controls get less frustrating.

[Rayder]

It's about 70:30 skills:equipment. Just because you have the strongest ship in the game and all the best equipment doesn't mean you can save yourself against that interceptor with an MWD.
