EVEMon

It uses the API from the client, which you can get from www.eve-online.com\api\ iirc.

The planner is pretty powerful, tells you what skills to get if you want to use say a tractor beam, calculates the time it will take, and shows you what skills to get to increase the learning speed

How much is the subscription - someone actually told me about it a while ago, but I didn't have an internet connection back then, so I put it out of my mind.

Then, I need to get hold of the client as well. Unfortunately, I'm on a 3G connection, so I definitely can't download.

R116 a month. There are different payment plans though.
 
The really weird thing is how small u feel. I mean ive interacted with 1 other person who wanted me to join a corp. I see other players but want to feel comfortable before i venture into pvp.

R116 too much for u? How much is wow? I dont even know. Nice little touch, make enough ingame money and u can buy subscriptions with ingame currency.

I don't play WoW either.

Just Guildwars - and as with lilDeath - that keeps me plenty busy.

And, as I said, getting the client for Eve is also a problem - for me anyways.
 
If ur CPT based and wanted i could put it on a dvd and mail it to u. But yes. Im sure 1 mmo at a time is more than enough.

Gallente as well...

The thorax is apparently insane with 5x Heavy Ion Blasters II (optimal range - 3km)... I prefer the range of railguns myself

Close quarter combat means you take more damage :o

My Current Ship - for fighting.
800px-Tristan1.jpg


I have 2 railguns that i decided to replace with Light Electron Blaster with antimatter rounds. I have 2 shield booster and a repair kit and something else fitted, an after burner. My capacitor depletes in 37 seconds if i have them all active. I normally have just one shield booster going so my capacitor is stable then i fire after burner till in optimal range and let rip with the blasters. I have to be pretty close to account for the fallout, 1100m, but i wait till i get below 900m. 2, 3 direct hits and the other guy is caput. Granted these are only mission specific NPC's so propably not overly hard. but if i do a few upgrades i have a feeling i would stand a fair chance is a straight up fight with 1 other guy. Ill possible be ok if there are 2 but more ill propably wake up in a new body.
 
Here is my baby; my trusty old Raven.

I cannot remember what fittings I have. I'll have to look for them (Shield tanking and torpedos)

Very Nice. I might eventually try for a covert ops frigate also as that sounds like a possible avenue for profit. That and bounty hunting.

Have you watched the Ambulation update video? THEN you'll feel small once you realise just how big the starter ship is!

Anyway, I'm getting back into it too :) Mining is my calling.

Mining is fun on the side. Jump from station to astriod flied. Fill up my hold, war back, unload jump back. Did that for an hour lastnight and then refined it all before going on a 6 jump there, 6 jump back cargo run to sell the refined ore for almost 100k. Sat reading gametm while it was going. I think trading, like buying cheap here, selling expensive there could also make good money but u need some start up capital for that. So i think for now anyways im going to focus on combat. First finish the mining career advancement track then focus solely on combat type missions while i save up and train up for my cruiser.
 
I quite enjoy mining solely. Making mining buddies is fun. The same ol' people mining the same ol' belts day after day...you bond ya know? :p
