Don’t worry about it Dave, it’s not a loan, and the same applies to what I’ve given Max, Legit on the other hand…..his name’s written all over that baseball bat :).
I’ve been trying to help you guys out as much as I can because the start of the game can be a drag and I’m hoping that if we skip you all past the really boring part, there’ll be more chance you’ll all stay and help pursue the XDC corp idea : ) I don’t want to give you too much, incase that ruins the game in itself, but I can easily afford a few million here and there, remember I’m out in 0.0 space and just to give you an example, I made 10 mil last night in an hour or two without even trying.
Just make sure you insure all your ships to platinum level, and stop following Legit’s lead 😛
Me too, Legit kindly lent me 5 mill, of which 2, i paid back, but money making is very hard to do.
Im completely addicted to this game, so I will be playing this for a long time yet. Im even sadly setting my skills off, before going to work in the morning. 😀

Lol i do that, trying to be more efficient with my skill training and it pays off, trained up 800,000 sp since i came back into the game. in the space of 2 weeks or so. and i only have 4.8 million sp total!
Anyway I like shooting stuff and learning pvp properly, but its very tense stuff.
Making money is hard in eve. mining is boring so i go around killing stuff! and get the bounties.
Legit will have it esier than you beer with him using missles. you need to train up various gunnery skills to improive your shooting.
And amour tanking is important!
I have set a nice long skill training as its patch day today!
Will be interesting to see how the new code runs as theres alot of stuff to deal with the large number of playters and load balancing.

muhahahahaha hes addicted big time.
i was like that, in fact the only reason im not like that now is that my skills take forever….damn 31 days for battlecruiser lvl 5.
At last I have joined Legit’s corp in Piekura, although at a price, while venturing in to unkown and dangerous teritory, I decided to attack a Navy Cargo ship – mistake! So, wont be doing that again, lost me ship and wad full of cash!
So, Legit, may I suggest we do some rat hunting shortly?
some of us have work lol!
I should be able to buy myself an Assualt Frigate tomorrow, which will be cool as they are very good for ratting!
GIt’s Raven – will take me 3 months to train to equip it but hopefully the end result will be worth it. The main plan is to get my ass over to my enemy as quickly and as closely as possible, lock them into position, paint them up then let rip with Tech II Advanced Anti-Ship missiles (+ BCS II) @ 742.5 dmg per torpedo -_- Cloak for gatecamping maybe or just for general hiding hehe.
1x Raven (duh!)
Low:
1x Ballistic Control System II (10.5% faster launcher, 10% more msl dmg)
1x Reactor Control II (15% more Power grid)
3x Nanofiber Internal Structure II (-45% Inertia & +90 m/s 8) , but -60% structure 😥 )Medium:
1x 100MN Micro Warp Drive II (550% Speed Boost, but -25% Cap and -50% shield)
1x Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I (-90% Webifier)
1x Warp Scrambler IIHigh:
6x Siege Missile Launcher II’s
1x Improved Cloaking Device IIIn addition to the Reactor control I will also need engineering lvl 5 to provide enough power for the beefy launchers -_-
I have a few other ideas for the rest if the mid slots , maybe a shield extender, cap battery and inv field II to make up for the MWD debuffs or justr ack it up with paint Target II’s. Not sure what to do with 75m3 of drones tbh, maybe target dampeners of some kind?
Yeha gank setup hehe – 2 of the torpedos would be emp (because of low emp shield resistances for insta shield pop) and the other 4 torpedos will explosives for instal hull pop 😀
OK i’ll post some useful links for people who don’t know and for re-cap (also be nice to have an EVE forum for XDC)

http://evemon.battleclinic.com/Ultimate Mining Sheet, great for tracking how much money you have in minerals also how much time you need to spend mining to make certain ships if you know whats needed for each ship
i’ve given up playing for a few days……i took on a lvl 2 missions which got me another 4 omens and a maller taken out, and down to my last 2 million, which isn’t going to get me another decent ship……i’m getting my gunny V skill tarined up before i try again.
Bleh 😛 We got 1 million in the corp kitty if you need it and I can help you with a few bucks towards a cruiser 🙂
Note to alzir/hippo – max can fly battlecruisers now – I gave him the cash for the skillbook but nowhere near can afford to buy him the ship, can anyone sort him out a few bucks for a battlecruiser? 😉
Problem is just having the “Skill” to fly a cruiser or battlecruiser is not going to cut it tbh
I i have stopped flying the bigger ships and doing the smaller ones as my skills are better in the smaller stuff.
i have for example small guns trained up to the max and into tech II advanced skills as it makes those things much better.
also alot cheaper to lose a 4 mil cruiser or small frig than a 110 mil BS even though i can fly it!
beer you need to get as many gunnery skills as possible trained up.
Motion prediction is very important skill. same with controlled bursts as it cuts down your cap usage.
also get the mechanic skills training as they booost your armour up. also armour resistance skills which can give you an extra 25% resistance to all dmg types ontop of the std and any mods you have fitted.
When doing missions and ratting you need to fit accordingly.
eg sanshas are best for amarr as they are very weak to em and thermal dmg. they also do only thermal and em dmg. so get some armour harderners on em and thermal dmg types tyhen you wil takje alot less dmg.
Also keep your transversal velosity up. (orbiting) make sure you know the range of your lasers and then orbit at said rate. try putting you ab on if you can. then you will go faster.
Dont ever sit still and not move! your a sitting duck. suprised your doing lvl 2 missions already. I think i have only done one or two of those.
but then i have not done much mission running as i live out in 0.0 space.
Aye just cause you can fly the ship doesn’t mean you’ll do any better, you need the skills to back it up, in a Battlecrusier you need your hardners skill, decent Engineering/Electronic skills and then you got you meduim gunnery skills.
Best idea is getting most skills to level 4. (lvl 5 for some low skills since you need them for high skills) but most skills to level 4 won’t take too long. Rank 1 skills take around 24hrs to do (less if you have your learning up.)
