I'll be Gottaa when I get around to re-activating the old account, which I'm not rushing to do until it looks like something is gonna be organised for us to do together. Space on your own is pretty dull I found before.

found an annoyance last night, pirate hunting with a friend.

If you are ganged, you can't get both of you through locked Acceleration gates.... Annoying :(

Cadfiel is out there and doing the tutorial, i re signed up as i had a 7 day trial and cheekly saw the 14 day trails.

I have a caldari something begining with d, made it, trained a skill, came back and it was already bitching that i needed to update my clone. Nearly finished the tutorial and saving for my next ship.

Ill start sending out some evemails later just to say hello in game.

Not sure what to train next. Was thinking of getting mining, small hybrid turrets to 2 or 3 but open to suggestions, whats the best "Core" package of skills to get before spreading out.

Yes you can. You probably tried a gate where its restricted to the size of your ship.

nope.

2 rifters. one with the key can warp, one without the key can't warp. tried it on several "Ancient acceleration gates". Did they break it maybe in the latest patch ?

The stats which help the training speed of everything else first, I think go back a page and me and Tai have both posted links on guides/suggestsions for starting out.

I think from memory it's int/perception/recall (something like that, check the links though)

Dead Again, I need a Rez
I just downloaded the 500mb client and didnt need to patch at all, btw anyone know how to save windows positions when i close them, they always open where i dont want them too. like over my control panel, and in the middle of the screen which is anoying when i have all this space on a widescreen
 
Ancient acceleration gates sound like gates that are scenary rather then useable. Get a few missions in with gates that you cant use and are just part of the decor.

no.... ancient acceleration gates are the ones that fling you off to different parts of the deadspace complex. the locked ones require keys, as chick says. i assumed from the lack of recent complaints that the problem with not being able to use them to follow gangmates had been fixed, but maybe its just that 95% of people have all the keys by now :p
 
Some skills worth getting in the first 6 weeks...

Electronics IV
Enginering IV
Energy Management IV
Energy System Operations IV
Shield Operations IV
Shield Management IV
Shield Upgrades IV
Weapon Upgrades IV
Learning IV
Analytical Mind IV
Iron Will IV
Instant Recall IV
Spatial Awarenes IV
Mechanic IV
Hull Upgrades IV
Spaceship Command IV
*Racial* Frigate IV
*Racial* Cruiser IV
Navigation IV

This doesn't include guns/missiles. Some ships give boni to different things for example, Caldari are typically Missile and Railgun whores where as Minmatar are projectile whores.

3 things worth changing in Eve to make it run smoother..

Eve>Cache>Prefs.ini

Change buffer size to half your total Ram
Change Desktop height/width to w/e your desktop is. Stops alot of crash issues in game when the heigh/width match your in game reso.

So that's fairly lucrative although I did spend some time finding a good place to sell the unrefined ore (which sold for more for some reason).

keep seeing this, and thought i'd tell you why it is :)

as a noob, you've got fairly basic refining skills and faction standings. thus, you lose a sizable chunk of the ore as waste, and another chunk as tax to the corp that owns the station. an older player is likely to have maxed out refining skills, even specialisations to the individual ore types, as well as having picked a station that he's got a high standing with.

Right i have frigate 4, cos i followed one of the guides to create a character, how do i train racial frigate?

Is this some limitation of being on trial or do i need to achieve some pre requisite?

If there are pre requisites, is there a nice poster or web page that has them all layed out?

Got Wood?
Buy the racial skill you want to train from the market mate . You will need to fly to the station that sells it cheapest to pick it up .
 
By *racial* i mean Caldari, Amar, Minmatar and Gallante so you probably have 1 of those 4 at IV.

Trial accounts dont have access to haulers, battlships and a few other bits. Basically you cant learn the skill so you wont be able to use the module/ship.
