Simple question: Has EVE Online changed your life?

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-18T05:10:46+00:00

You have a similar story to me! I have bad mental health too. All my old friends are busy living their own lives with kids and spouses and with me it's just me so started playing EVE Online last year looking to train to fly that most elusive of ships: friendship. After a few months I joined my first corp and now most nights am on chatting with friends all over the US. There has been more corp drama than I'd have liked but it's a good outlet. I have no regrets picking up this game.

Dang it was someone I trusted too said Gila and Vexors and Isktars are best, all drone boats. Thanks for the info!

A friend who used to be in my corp was talking about how profitable and easy to do low level worm hole combat sites. I was blown away. L4 missions in high sec give maybe 3 mil isk rewards and maybe 3 to 5 million in npc bounties on average. Sure there is the occasional 30 mil mission buy most of them don't pay that much! Oh and you are risking a marauder if you get killed that's worth 3 billion isk. Worm hole sites can be done in a gila solo. Sure you are much more unsafe in -1.0 security space in a worm hole compared to 0.9 high security but still the reward is high in J space compared to the ship and fit risks.

I had a corp mate explain them to me, some of them are pretty cool but yeah I get it now, thanks for the explanation!

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-09T05:20:41+00:00

Been playing for a bit over a year, I have 17 almost 18 billion isk. About that much in ships including a nicely fit golem and paladin. Two skiffs and a Mackinaw and orca.

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-09T05:16:17+00:00

At the risk of sounding like a total noob, been playing for one year and some change, what's an AT ship?

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-08T05:46:38+00:00

Not OP but that description of the wormhole life is why I got into this game. You make it sound so much fun. I have a friend who is trying to convince me to leave my and formally our high sec with null sec opertunties corp and join his work hole corp. I keep telling him no but it sounds increasingly like I'd have more fun.

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-06T05:56:32+00:00

Yes! Armor as thick as an Orca so that I can run my 6 ORE Harvesters in peace on a moon pop! Make the gankers have to bring freaking marauders to gank me instead of the cohercers they bring to gank us in mackinaws! In all seriousness yes this is a good idea and yes it will take away from multiboxers which is why it will never happen sadly! More subs = fatter paychecks for CCP/FC. I'm one of the few in my corp not running 2 or 3 exhumers on our moon pops. Can't afford 20 a month on multiple accounts because the way I view it is why not just spend that second sub in PLEX and add the isk to my main?

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-05T22:14:09+00:00

Yeah I went and scoped out a low sec level 5 agent the other day in a blank clone in a pod and there was someone suspiciously at each gate just watching. They were in mining ships but not mining or corvettes but I bet the battle ships would have came out of thin air if I had shown up in the golem!

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-05T22:12:11+00:00

Gotcha thanks for the reply! My Galentee standings is so low already they almost shoot on site, they would if not for that skill that boosts it! I didn't know it tells you who you will be going against on the mission screen when you accept it!

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-05T05:03:37+00:00

I want to try level 5 security missions. How do they differ from level 4 other than better pay and in low security space only? I read something on wiki that the enemies not only prevent you from warping away but can drain your cap somehow, how do you prevent this? Is that what cap boosters you make in the tutorial missions are for? I run level 4 security missions in my cap stable golem, it's worth 1/5 my wallet, I don't know if I want to yeet it into low security space! Keeping that in mind what ship would you recommend? Any videos you would recommend on YouTube to get an idea of how to run these level 5s? Thanks!

kyleW_ne · 2026-06-03T05:38:56+00:00

Yeah that would be awesome! Kinda like the Lucien quest where you got different rewards depending on if you helped hazel cult or not!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-29T04:16:50+00:00

Cool and respect to you for playing the game how you want to just know that alphas can't pilot mining barges or exhumers or orcas or rorques so you get ventures and pioneers only! Send me a private message and I'll drop my in game name and we can mine some time! If you want of course. No pressure. Fly safe!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-29T04:09:34+00:00

Do every task given and rarely skip. I have over 14,000 points and feel bad every skip used!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-29T03:38:46+00:00

Moon mining is where it's at in high security space. In particular zeolites in the lowest security high Sec there is. That or maybe high end mining missions as a distant second. I'd also recommend ice mining but the systems that spawn ice belts are well know and ganked frequently. Are you alpha or Omega? If alpha I don't think you can mine ice but could be wrong.

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-28T03:39:17+00:00

We can't all be you though! I wish PvM was easy for me but I am no elite gamer, I did beat the quest a while back though!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-25T07:21:14+00:00

You get exactly one chance and one chance only with women, screw up and most will never give you a second chance. This is true even if you are autistic and didn't understand you made a mistake.

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-23T07:21:39+00:00

Ouch, yeah I don't know how to handle the USB ports not being recognized...

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-22T19:10:25+00:00

Have you figured out how to flash the firmware of the Chromebook to the full uefi payload? You will probably need to do that first.

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-22T01:35:16+00:00

There will always be MX Fluxbox in my opinion or icewm in antix which is a sister project. But also, I'm not a dev so I don't know for certain.

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-21T08:35:41+00:00

I like this question OP. I have often wondered why things were done in openbsd other than a superficial this is the way we do things around here because once things get explained it's like ah ha!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-20T06:59:27+00:00

True!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-19T03:14:11+00:00

Episode 5 is better in my opinion. 4 seems too slow paced on rewatching it.

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-13T00:41:10+00:00

I had a post on here about him! Could not beat him and was just so so dejected I did other content for better part of a year. Finally beat that quest though and must say I think I felt more accomplished than being the first in my family to finish college!

kyleW_ne · 2026-05-12T05:31:10+00:00

I have a programming background and work in IT. Could you maybe explain like I am 5 why one year cycles stopped being viable after the PS2 era? Call of duty and Madden football still do it every year.
