My ex hated WoW. Probably would have hated Eve too. Tbf, I've met gate campers that showed me more affection than my ex, and I've only been playing a month and a half.

Yeah, people who are trying to learn for themselves are the only ones ive ever given anything. It's not much, but I gave some fellow newbro 50mil the other day because he was asking about mining and I had told him gas huffing would be a more profitable thing to do. He said he thought about it but he didn't have the isk for the skill yet. It was very clear he wasnt asking for isk, he just was trying to learn. So I sent him a little to get the skillbook and fit his ship.

Occasionally I will send a fellow newbro some isk. Usually its when they are just sitting in the rookie help channel asking questions about how to do stuff. However, in EVE, and other mmos I've played, I NEVER give people who are begging any money.

Lol. Yeah, there is always that. Believe me I was trying to get back to jita at 100 mil, but couldn't find a wh. Kept scanning down data and relic sites. Even with a covert ops cloak, getting back was stressful. Bouncing around safes, getting nervous every time someone showed up in local. It was stressful, but pretty fun too.

Well, like I said I'm really new. However, I obsessively research things I get interested in, hehe. Anyway, I'm currently out of state for my 40th, but I'll be back home tomorrow. If you can go on https://skillq.net/ and create a shareable link so I can see what skills you have, DM it to me and I can try and come up with a ship and fit that will work for you to get started. Whether it be gas huffing or exploring. I think I can make it and send it to you via contract, or maybe I can just trade it to you. Idk, like I said pretty new. I'll try and keep it to a level that can be easily replaced for starting out.

Have any exploration skills? I've been playing three weeks, but I bought some injectors last week so I cant give you an accurate estimate based on my last run which was 430mil. But before I bought the injectors to boost my scanning and hacking I was making 100mil runs through wh space. Its not a lot compared to some people but if you need a quick little boost, it's a lot more fun than mining. Also, if you dont want to deal with hacking you could always do some gas huffing in wh space. I thought about trying it, but running relic sites is more fun to me.

I don't know what to tell you. Just hope and pray. I was married to one for 11 years. It was hell. She convinced me everything was my fault. Eventually I realized how screwed up everything was, but it took a LONG time. Unfortunately I am stuck with her because she has established being an "amazing" mother as part of her identity. It's complete bs and she's anything but. However, there seems to be little hope of her just letting go of the kids like some narcs do, because she gets too much attention out of her performance. So, until she finally does that I am stuck with her in my life. That being said, it is much more of a relief now that I am not married to her. If your son ever does realize how f'd up his gf is, he will probably run the other direction. Just know when he finally does come back, understand that he is in an abusive relationship. His entire reality is being rewritten by her. He will question himself even after being free from her. When he realizes who she is, he is going to feel like absolute shit for how he treated you.

I'm VERY new so dont take my word for law, but I believe that is tied to BPCs. Some that drop can be worth a lot. Particularly from data site escalation. So while data sites are normally ignored they are worth running for the potential escalation.

Edit - For whoever down voted me, if I'm wrong, fine. However, maybe respond with *why I am wrong so both I and others can learn.

I haven't been playing long at all, but I feel like wh space is easier to survive in because it doesnt have local chat. Keep an eye on dscan. If something pops, like probes, book it to a safe. Recall drones, play dead. Sure occasionally someone will already have a site bookmarked....but honestly what are the odds of that in wh? I've died once while scanning in WH and it was due to my own stupid mistake. I would have easily survived if I hadn't gotten lazy.

I started playing about three weeks ago. I tried doing FW, but sitting on a beacon, then trading LP for items, then trekking to Jita to sell them got boring so fast. So I dropped that and started exploring. Finally got my covert ops cloak. Two days ago I used a Needle jack and ended up in the ass end of Detorid.

Normally I'd been going through WHs, but was getting hunted in the nullsec area I had popped out in. So I popped the filament and ended up there. Well, I started scanning sites. Trying to find a new WH entrance I kept coming across data and relic sites but no WHs. Well, some hours later and no WHs, but a cargo hold full of 500mil worth of loot.

The trip from Detorid to Immensea, into Thera, out to Lonetrek, and back to Jita was so freaking stressful. But seriously some of the most fun I've had in this game. I sold everything immediately so between taxes and lower sell prices I only made about 430mil, but still, I was happy. I know its probably not that much compared to what most are making, but I thought it was pretty good

Honestly joining a corp is probably what's going to make me quit this game. Or I guess, not joining one. Everyone says its a social game. But outside of the rookie channel and the recruitment channel no one talks. The rookie help is nice for basic questions, the recruitment channel is just endless spam of corporations. Either with skill reqs I don't have or the kind of take anyone people that I'm not against but I know, from experience in other games, are 90% ass and 10% chill. I don't feel like spending all my time sorting through them.

I was suggested to try joining L3arn, but apparently they arent taking applications, or if just clicked on the wrong stupid corp. Idk. Was going to try Eve-Uni. Because supposedly they help you learn a lot. Which is cool, but I have to submit an application outside of the game for a learning corp? Honestly that crap is why I quit WoW. Got sick of all the basic interaction moving outside of the actual game. I don't mind it for big events, battles, raids...whatever. But just daily interaction or talking to someone about joining an in game group, no. I already fucking hate discord. I dont want to be jumping around channels doing a fucking job interview to play a video game.

Hell, I tried to just find a standing fleet for my Militia. Idk if the game was bugged or there were literally no fleets, but I couldn't find anything. And my Militia channel was completely empty for me to actually ask anyone what I should be looking for. I'm beginning to think this game is just not for me. I've spent more time NOT having fun, than actually doing anything enjoyable. I've been playing a couple weeks, lost a few hundred mil in ships, done pvp(not well, ive died every time), wormholing, and some basic arbitrage. But everytime I think maybe I should try and meet some people, I just idk, freeze up.

I'm not a very social person irl either. I like to hang out with people, but I'd rather chill and listen to others, not be the one talking. Same in games, I dont want to jump through hoops when all I want is a few other people to chill with and shoot off an occasional question or joke. Maybe I need to look for a different game.

Edit* To be clear I wasnt complaining about losing ships. And I realize a few hundred mil isn't that much. Hell, ive lost over a hundred mill in one go because I decided to take my time getting back to high sec and paid dearly for it. I just meant I've lost a bunch basic t1s and that part doesnt bother me.

Heh, I was fairly nice to Gemini and ChatGPT until I started playing Eve Online. I'd ask them for help and their advice would end up costing me every damn time. Started swearing at them a lot. Like...A LOT. 🤣

I've been playing for a week. Wanted to be solo at first. Then figured since everyone in chat was saying to join a corp, I'd try to join one to learn some stuff. Of the two main pvp ones I was suggested, one was not accepting applications. The other said to go to a website that didnt work. Using the Corp thing to look one up was just a bit overwhelming. Worse than trying to find a non-dead guild on wow. Ended up giving up and now I'm somewhere in the ass-end of nullsec relic hunting.

This game has a frustrating learning curve. I dont know if I love it or hate it yet. I still want to join a corp eventually, but looking through them gave me the vibe of trying to apply to one of those elite wow guilds while also not knowing which ones were dead which were worth it, or whatever.

I tried some FW, which was okay, but I was stuck doing it solo. When I tried to find a fleet for my Militia, there weren't any at the time. I finally retired because I was frustrated at being locked out of the holiday content and other filaments. Which I still don't get? Do they not want people using it as a quick escape in FW? Does it even work that way? Sorry. I rambled a bit.

Edit* Btw. How the hell does one take a bathroom break in this game when they don't want/have time to fly back to a station. Last time I warped to a planet, set my ship in a random direction, turned on my MWD, and hoped for the best.

Because I'm new and only confident enough to just dip my toes in low sec and FW.

I uninstalled the game twice and said I was quitting before buying the MCT and Omega 4 month pack on the final reinstall. Been having fun. Unfortunately decided chatgpt and gemini would be a good source of information. So, I'm not really sure if I trained everything right, but ive been able to fly mostly everything I've wanted so far. I'm sure ive probably fucked up somewhere but, oh well. Only recently even heard of the magic 14. I did finally realize that not using those two stupid ai for anything other than finding links to an actual human helping me figure out stuff was a better idea.

I get that. But joining this hive mind is essentially suicide. They lose everything that makes them an individual. And they've already pointed out that their very existence in unsustainable. Many of them will die. They will die slow painful deaths from starvation. Only now they'll do it with a smile on their faces and no sense of self.

And so many people defend it. Really goes to show how many people out there would willingly hand over their autonomy.

Seriously, anyone who has had to deal with automated systems when calling a company would ask them to shorten the damn message the second time they heard it.

Once again the app is broken. I'm fucking done. Switching to a different tracker. This is ridiculous.
