You mean besides the million updates it needs? ;)
Well that's for the key. I think Omega is still playing the trial so if he buys this then it costs a lot less for that first month. :)
hmmm, i've been think long time to play this game. but too much on my plate atmo, lotsa friends of mine play it though...
I've got the same problem. I don't really have the time for an MMO and when playing an MMO it feels like I'm missing out on good single player games. I don't have the time for both. :)
But yeah lots of my friends also play EVE. It looks awesome, I got to give it that.
I bought EVE on steam yesterday and just downloaded it via Steam on local only bandwidth. IS runs a local steam content server :P
No, they're not gone...you have to buy them now. They're not that expensive, but it's best to train the main three to at least level 3 in order to minimise training time of other skills...even before you start training your first skills. The learning skills don't take too long to train thankfully.
To reinforce what Lydon said, a quote from the EVE Battle Clinic beginners guide.

"Your first priority in game should be to get all 6 basic Learning skills. Get them all to at least level 3 before you do ANYTHING else. This will also give you time to choose a direction you want to go in the game. ~ Llanthas Freedark"
when I get home tonight I'll get started on the learning skillz then. EVE seems to have changed quite a bit since I last played!
Biggest change is no more BoB :)
Hmmm well that sucks. It's the same client though. It may just be in different folders. For instance when I buy a game on Steam I stop the download and download an illegal version from the news servers. The I delete the crack, install to where it would have downloaded and it works. Isn't it the same with the EVE client?
I don't know. :) Oh well it's a cheap offer for people who are starting new.
On a forum which I may not speak of. Decided EVE was a good thing to test it on. Bought EVE, started the download and the paused it. switched from my international to local only account and the download ran at a steady 330kbps the whole way through.
What kills me is two weeks back I downloaded TF2 and CS:Source via international bandwidth :eek: wish I had've known that then
Lies Triv, Lies. Just asked my bud @ IS, he says u talkin BS :p
That's a proxy what you talking about :p
*same thing happens with the PSN
*u need international to connect to server, add download
*change 2 local account
*and d/l
thats interesting......
I haven't setup any specific proxy though. Found these links though, obviously can't link to the other forums but:

Google Eve Battle Clinic, click on the guides tab and d/l the beginners guide (77pages in pdf format).
Pretty nifty.
On another note, woop, Explosive Shield Compensation IV completed. It only took 9days +change.
I keep remembering things along the way.

Mining IV finishes today which means I'll hopefully be able to fit a better miner to my Iteron
Got my Cruiser this weekend, spent a good 5mil on it alone and another 5 fitting it. So practically broke now but the Awesomeness is reward enough.
4X 250mm Railguns with Antimatter charges.
1X Salvager.
1X EM Shield Hardner
1X Medium Shield Booster
1X Medium Shield Extended
1X Damage Control which grant a +10% to all dam res for Shield & Armor
1X Warp Core Stabalizer
1X 200mm Rolled Tungstun plates
1X Quantum CPU
and the 2 other things but i forgot what they are.
All and all a slow monster but damn she packs a punch.
Busy training Tactical Shield manipulation. That 0% Change of damage getting through once the shield hits 25% or less is mighty appealing. But doesn't that make u invulnerable?
Almost forgot Effective HP almost 8K
Nice going Omega :)
Ive only had a chance to test he against 2 NPC destroyers. Which was fine barley dented my shields. I was surprised that i could fit the medium shield booster and still have over a minute before my cap drains. Going to take 4 days to get Tactical Shield Manipulation up to lv 5. :( Good thing this is going to be a hectic week for me
Ahh such is the life of an Eve player, never finished studying!
I'll be home at the end of this week and I'll be on next week. I'll try pop through to Tash-Murkon. It's around an 18 point jump into your system then a few more to TM prime. but the problem lay in those 18 jumps through Providence.
Swap the 200mm plates with a Power Diagnostic System (bit more shields + cap)/Magnetic Stabilizer(damage mod)? You seem to be heading toward the shield tanking route. AFAIK the biggest plates you can put on a cruiser = 800mm
By default when your shields hit 25% you start taking armor damage, tactical shield manip lowers the % before you start taking that armor damage
Out of interest with the rails loaded with anti matter and the warp core stabilizer, whats your range on the guns?
I spent the weekend finally starting level 2s, they're quite a bit more difficult than level 1s :p
I think i have a power Diagnostic system in there.
The guns optimal Range is 15km but u have an acc falloff of 12km. I can hit from 20km. forsome reason i though the optimal range for the 250mm was 26km. dont know why i though that. I want to go up to 400mm armor plates. First need to make back the money i spent kitting out the Thorax.
With the EM shield hardner on my shield EM res is 51%, if i then switch on damage control its 61%. That means it shrugs off a good portion of the em damage that PVPers deam with their lasers, Projectile Charges or Missiles. Gives me enough time to warp away of blast the bugger to kingdom come. Im working on a pvp set up for my Destroyer, the 2 medium slots are killing me though.
wow dude! Great layout, something I can currently only dream of :)
You flying the Myrm Omega?
OC is right im flying a Thorax Currently. Also have a Catalyst, Tristan and a Galante Shuttle.
That would explain it but they have the best damage of all the rounds. Think after the Tactical Shield Manipulation i will go after Rail Gun Specialization.
Antimatter
14HP Kinetic Damage
10HP Thermal Damage
Iridium
8HP Kinetic Damage
6HP Thermal Damage
Thats almost double, for half the range. I think ill take damage.
n00b question....
what is AB/MWD ?
