What are /r/evenewbies' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

If you use cruisers for the abyss you can only go in solo. For the first tiers you can try one of the fits here. For frigates that's also possible, but needs a blinged fit (faction/assault frig).

The Triglavian incursions are a group activity, you can't do much solo in there (well you can ninja loot and salvage, but not fight them)

at that point its still worth it to restart for the 1million free skillpoints I would say, you can freely inject them into any skill to instantly skip the timegate for it. Just be wise on what you spend them. You can just create a new account with an invitation, you can use mine if you want to :)

https://www.eveonline.com/article/qh7pp7/resource-distribution-update this and some follow-up rebalance updates.

The ingame Agency window should already have the correct data for the "new" ore distribution but I fully understand if that's not the case; It's CCP after all

The massive reductions and deletions of several mineral types in some belts means that in some cases no ore actually spawns, and in the case where it does spawn but not that much, other players or NPC mining fleets may mine it out quickly.

btw, lowsec mining is generally not recommended - mining moon goo in Null is both safer and more convenient.

Agreed on the above.

Note that when you use a referral link, that link points back to someone else's account. If you do upgrade to Omega account, that person will get a little bonus thing (some skill-boosters and some other stuff).

In other words, if you have some friends who play, get a referral link from their accounts.

(There's a couple restrictions to this, so read through https://www.eveonline.com/recruit if you want the whole scoop.)

Maybe go through the career agent starter missions to dip your toes back in the water. Might ignite some interest in something you enjoyed before. The agency window is nice for local content too. I have been running abyssal sites as it works for my limited play time.

actually if your in the US, get the Starter pack off Amazon, gives you 30days of game time and some other stuff. Its on sale right now for 99cents

Convocation of Empyreans is here to maximize player engagement with EVE Online and is happy to help you!

In addition, there are several good groups listed on EVE Acadamy

1. turn off gatekeeper
2. download Eve client
3. Launch Eve, wait for updates to happen
4. turn Gatekeeper back on afterwards if you really want to

Ok, while steam is great, for most games it's better to use the dedicated launcher (link) if it's available and free (had similar issues with PoE).

In case you have invested some time/ money in a steam account already, you should reach out to support to see if they can transfer the same.

Empire choice does not matter for anything but the looks of your character and the starting skills which are hardly relevant.

You can get your own link from your main account here: https://www.eveonline.com/recruit

I've never heard of that myself but you can always try and send a support ticket.

As for the brief rundown of new stuff in eve go and read here https://www.eveonline.com/articles/patch-notes

Over the years a lot of new stuff happened so you'll just have to read and experience the changes yourself. Biggest new thing is probably the new pirate faction called Triglavians, that has a completely new type of weapon system that starts with fairly low dps but spools up on every cycle to get ungodly amounts of dps. They have 12 ships (frig, assault frig, dessie, hac, command dessies, cruiser, logi, bc battleship and a dread). At max spool the battleship (Leshak) can push carrier level dps. There are also new pve sites where you can go solo in a cruiser (except t3c's) or 3 frigates. There are 3 rooms to clear, you have 20min to complete the site or your ship and pod dies. There's 5 levels of difficulty with t5 being the highest and requires to use blinged out ships and expensive implants

If you recruit yourself you get a bonus should you switch to omega.

Also be aware that you can't log in an alpha and an omega at the same time. Needs multiple omegas for that.

EVE is probably not for you. Check out Elite: Dangerous

https://www.elitedangerous.com/

Though this probably won't run nicely on a 5yr old Macbook Pro.

Edit:

Elite is played from the perspective of the pilot and has much more of that Wing Commander feel to it. They've also proceduraly generated star systems for (I think) all the known stars in the Milky Way.

Not that you shouldn't try EVE. It is a lot of fun but definitely plays different from Wing Commander. You can grab a free trial of EVE if you want to just see what it is like.

Is EVE in Windowed mode? Not sure why that would matter, tbh.

If you want to make sure u get good screenshots, use ShareX. Its amazing. And uploads directly to your Imgr account if you link it. I LOVE IT.

Check it out https://getsharex.com/

Amazon is also selling the EVE Online Core Starter Pack for $5.00 and the add-ons for $1.25 each.

That seems to be the way to go, now that Mad Orc is sold out.

Premium edition, you get a month of time, a plex and a buttload of starter goodies...not bad

Also be aware that if you're on a 'buddy invite'...it will not apply, so the buddy that gave you the invite won't get the plex/rewards for the invite...and it also only available in the US

You can buy a 6 month sub on Amazon and have it linked to your account. http://www.amazon.com/Month-Subscription-Online-Instant-Access/dp/B00GDHD3LW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460561869&sr=8-1&keywords=EVE+sub in the us.

Microsoft's Freelancer title was made by the same guy that made WC, and its from like 06-07 so yes would run on mac.
