There’s still a lot of things that only subscribed players can do. More specialized and powerful ships that Alpha Clones can’t fly. Read more

You got me, it’s all a ruse. :P Read more

Yes, Battleship and Battlecruisers, Tech 2 small and medium guns, some of the drone skills, and a handful of other stuff is all usable as an Alpha, just not trainable. Read more

Still can not. Mining barges are not available to Alpha Clones, to prevent things just like this I imagine. The best way for an Alpha Clone to mine is actually in a battleship.. Read more

Give it a shot! If you can dedicate a few hours to getting through the new player experience, and really give the game a good shot, you might like it. Read more

Alpha Clones are pretty well defended against botting. You can only have one logged in at a time, so it becomes an additional layer of pain for someone to get a bot fleet going. Plus they can’t fly mining barges. Read more

“You’ll probably then immediately get swindled out of your newfound spacebucks by a machiavellian trickster who’s spent the past half-decade plotting your downfall.”

Don’t tell them, that ruins the surprise! Read more

Starting from scratch really isn’t that bad. As long as you can fly a ship and pay attention to your surroundings you can play the game and be effective. Read more

Resource Wars sounds like it could be a lot of fun for people who enjoy PvE, try it out when the expansion launches. Read more

EVE is a great game if you’re willing to give it the time. It’s not a theme park MMO, it requires a bit of grit to really get into. There’s an expansion coming in about two weeks that is going to add a little bit more ‘pick up and play’ as an option. Short session content that’s accessible to new players. Read more

It’s absolutely huge, almost every major Nullsec alliance has a main line Battlecruiser Doctrine. Read more

This update is targeting players like you, so you can log in and have those skills back and fly those ships. It should be great! Read more

Hey, it’s you. What’s your take on all this? On purpose or not, you started the ball rolling on the only other thing that comes close to this. Arguably surpasses even. Read more

I’m sure Aryth would love to help me write one. He’s basically a Bond villain. He told me he self-identifies as Lex Luthor. Read more

This war should be really easy to find your way into. Look into the player corporations KarmaFleet or Pandemic Horde. Read more

Try this one instead.

Yes, play EVE. It’s free to try so you’ve got nothing to lose really, and maybe you will have some fun. Go through the introduction scenario, then the “Career Agents” missions and after that, look into joining one of the new player friendly corporations. KarmaFleet (my alma mater) or Pandemic Horde are both heavily… Read more

http://empiresofeve.com/ This guy wrote a book on it. I’ve been to a presentation of his, and can honestly say, I would take that class. Read more

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the feedback. Who do you fly with in-game? Read more

The barrier of entry that exists to new players is one of them. There is not-insignificant lead up time to get into the game, a core set of skills that needs to be trained by almost every pilot. They’re doing a lot to fix this, but it still exists. The new version of the New Player Experience is a huge step in the… Read more
