What are the time card exactly? you can earn credits in the game to continue play instead of purchasing them?
Grawsith:
What is it about MMO's? I play the trial, never make up my mind, and by the time it's over, some other gaming event (HL2:EP 1, Wii, Garry's Mod) takes me over and forces me to ditch the MMO and continue playing the usual stuff.

I loved my 5 months in eve... but now... meh..
what made it so great was my corp, we had some killer trade runs going on.. doing deadspaces, building ships and gear... getting imba at our own pace..
till a stupidly huge corp turns up, declares war on us for no reason, destroys everything -then- demands money.. my corpmates didnt tell me we were at war when i undocked from our station in .8 space in my brandnew megathron... only to see it blown to pieces..
So there I am, several million skill points invested... my best ships trashed, cash pretty much drained.. so meh.. I'll stick with raiding in Warcraft for now.
Fabio:
Downloading the client now, got my free trail code, but i will play it no more than the trail allows.

To be fair mate, that's what corporation mail is there for - the war announcement is displayed for everyone to see.
I'm now a Fleet Commander for the Freelancer Alliance. We have two empire wars going on right now, with OMEN corp and E X I L E, but it's not hard to avoid being caught if you know what you're doing.
a few pointers for survival
1: warp core stabilizers make you FAR less susceptible to warp jamming, at the expense of totally nerfing your sensors. For running errands in empire, I tend to use an interceptor with one of those fitted and a couple of nanofibre mods - you align and warp almost impossible fast anyway, and even if they do lock you, they can't scramble you.
2: they can't get you if you dock. if you undock and see unfriendly war-dec type people around, just wait thirty seconds and dock again. don't move, don't fire a shot, just sit calmly in front of the station and keep trying to dock. you're invulnerable after undocking until you actually do anything. if you deny them kills, they'll just get bored and go find somebody else
3: if you have to go somewhere, do it as a team. moving stuff in a hauler or freighter? escort it with four battleships.
4: Smack talk in local is the weapon of the gods. Use it sparingly but to devastating effect.
5: insurance is your friend. that said, it's only worth it on battlecruisers, battleships, and capital ships. if that 'Thron had had platinum grade insurance, you could have just purchased a new one.
