All about EVE
Verergoca:
Been a while since I posted here.
Not much happened actually, im now a director of the corp, and about a week away from a covvie. Ill actually start making some money :)
Also, hitting naughty ore thiefs in a 0.4 system, within 100ish km from a station results in the sentry guns shooting you... I found out the hard way :)
Switchblade:
Woohoo! Just broke 100 million ISK for the first time ever!
Time to buy a Raven, thinks I.
Currently working on tech 2 light missiles. Should be done in about eight days. After that it's back to my quest for a Zealot, going by way of an Armageddon. and I need to put a month aside for a Covetor, somewhere.
Verergoca:
100m? Oh that... Broke that ages ago :) Yay for lotterys:p
Oh and to make this post be constructive, id say, wait a little longer. You dont want to have a raven and no monies for insurance, equipment and other goodies. I could be in a domi for like, a month now, but well, just not effective enough yet.
Kana:
I haven't bothered to check the site really, but this game sounds a bit like Earth & Beyond... apparently its not bombing out like EA's creation, but I'm wondering how similiar the games are? I tried E&B demo, then started the real thing and discovered I really didn't care for real-time 1 hour+ transportations and what not.
Switchblade:
Already got my Raven. all the modules came out of stuff I already had (four limos and 2 malkuth cruise launchers plus all named shield hardeners, boosters and ECM modules ftw), leaving me with enough left over to insure it.
Admittedly, I now only have 3 million ISK to my name but it feels good to have such a potent engine of death in my personal fleet now. I took it through a level 4 mission and it acquitted itself quite well.
EDIT:

Having never played E&B, I can't really compare, but EVE isn't that slow - the ships basically have two speeds, namely impulse and warp. At impulse speeds, you're typically travelling somewhere between 100 and 600 metres per second (and with the right gear and modules, you can rack up several thousand meters per second), and the distances you have to travel are rarely greater than about 100 Km. For larger (interplanetary) distances, the ships warp, usually at three Astronomical Units per second (that's about 1,440 times the speed of light) but some lighter ones move at six AU/s (2,880 times the speed of light) or even 9 AU/s (4,320 times the speed of light). interstellar travel is via artificial stargates.
The game IS true to stellar scale, but the sheer speed of the ships when warping serves to mitigate the huge distances.
typically, in a fast ship, you can be in the next star system within two minutes at most, and a trip of 20 jumps can take anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour (or longer), depending on the ship you're flying for the journey
the only way to truly understand what EVE's like, though, is to try it out. if you're willing to PM me your email adress, I'm quite happy to sign you up for a 14-day free trial under the "buddy" system.
