Yep. It's the name of a comic book character I made a long time ago.

A part of me wants to start playing again, but it bugs me that I'd have to wait a couple months at least to partake in any large fleet battle. Well.. at least well enough to stand a chance and actually do a little damage. I had a mining barge with my last character, even though I made some nice $$$.. it got really boring quickly. Maybe I'll pick this up and play again, I don't know.. I just don't want to start from scratch on my combat skills which is something I'd have to do even with my miner.. well I think my miner has *some* combat skills, but not many.

The time skill system is something I really like about EVE, and something I also really dislike. You can't grind, which is good, and bad.. depending I guess. It's like your looking at your timer and say.. "GO FASTER YOU, MUSH MUSH!!" *snaps whip* ... but nope, nothing. Only thing you can improve is your attributes or whatever that decrease the amount of time it takes to learn something, but even that can take a considerable amount of time.

I have been not playing, just logging in to level my skills, but I'm down to hook up with any Los guildies. Ingame name is Saint Rage. And I really have no clue what im doing. so any help would be cool.

Just traveled 17 jumps to reaccquire my Ferox. NASTY ship IMO. But I'll simply eb using it to mine for now. 1 Turret laser, 2 Launchers, and 2 Mining lasers currently.

I was in-game for maybe 10 minutes and had my first NPC pirate attack lol. 3 of them in .05 space. I was amazed how much I still remember about the game after being out of the loop for a bit over a year now. Wasted those 3 fairly fast, with VERY minimal damage to my ship.

Yeah, I'll have to remember today when I get home and in-game to send an eve-mail to you Ganijhitsu. May be attempting to join a Corp. that resides in 0.0 spacve soon. Had one offer from one already. That's where the REAL excitment is!

I know that's where the excitement is, one reason why I wished I did something else then pure mining. Sure that was a lucrative venture.. I made a ton of money with my barge, but that's about it. If I could get just enough of a boost to jump online and start doing the 0.0 systems and participate in the universal struggle for corporate domination, I'd probably do it. But I know it takes about 3 months to have any sort of "good" PvP ship to withstand any of the more powerful ships that roam the 0.0 systems. Sure I can start over and venture there in my frigate.. but heh.. I'd be killed in what 1-2 shots max? lol. It's one thing I like about the skill system, another thing I dislike about it. If you want to jump into the heat of the action in huge corporate fleet battles, it would take you some time to get there and there really isn't much of a way to speed that time up besides.. well working on your attributes, but even that takes time and only shaves off a marginal amount of time for the skills you train.

I might join in again and just play a little here and there, I don't know yet.

It's a fascinating game, the graphics look really nice. I've pretty much avoided it, because even though you can let it play when your offline... stills seems like you need to really commit to it (with monthly fees if nothing else). I guess sometimes I worry I'll get hooked on it. Kinda funny really....

[Orm Sunnhet]

Well, it's probably easier for me to jump right back in because as I've said before, I DID play awhile ago.

Came back to my character having a Ferox (Battle Cruiser). NICE ship, TONS of available weapons slots, etc. I also have the two top models of Mining Barges (Conveter and Retriever), I just can't fly them yet, but close. Also a Bantam and a well equipped Merlin I use for PvP that I appropriately named "Kamakazi" since I stand little chance in some situations. But they are inexpensive and it's a rush to fly into a situation where I have a 95% death possibility lol.


I had a friend who played for a long time that quit. He gave me all his stuff fairly cheap. So I am stacked in the ship department, as well as starting out with nearly 13 million ISK, and a bunch of gear in various space stations in a bunch of systems. I'm almost at 900,000SP as well.

Naz and Me are playing this daily. I'm not sure when you all played last but they've made some changes that helps younger players jump in quicker.

1. newbies start out with 1million SP instead of nothing
2. Frigates (newbie ships) are capable of being very effective in fleet battles. And they are very cheap.

I've been playing for like 1.5 months now and I'm in a Raven (battleship) with some pretty sweet pvp setups. It doesn't take as long as you might think. At least not compared to what it used to be.

If enough people from this guild start playing I'd like to get in a corp with you all. The one we are in now is mostly EU players and they are never on the same time we are. sucks. But they are very very friendly.
