------
i have a confession tho- before i came back (been on wow forever) i thought to try EVE ---
man- big mistake- point with your mouse where u wanna go- and click-
annnnnnd.. thats all the excitement- no real time- no twitch- no control-
BLAH!

There's no shame in trying EVE - we all did. I was even in the beta. I think we all came to the same conclusion that you have.

This is an exciting time to return. Many of the things that were always going to happen "Soon" (but didn't due to a variety of unforseeable issues) are now going into place.

A lot of faction and economy infrastructure is being added in now. The ships are pretty much the same, but now the devs have the tools to quickly and easily tweak their performance and to make variants. There is no new weapon art, but the devs can also tweak them easily and make variants.

It is still possible to both chill and to find a fight when you want it.

Does it matter? Money is so easy to earn now!

(Though, that will change soon! Best get it now!)

Also, a point of order: Its still possible to to purchase the Axia-variant Wraith, rather than the newer "Revenant" models, if you so desire (this in intentional, not an oversight).

Whistler, I deny your unfair accusations of my succumbing to EVE's wiles. I don't remember mikmouse though, must have been after I became inactive.
Nov 10, 2008 mikmouse24 link
well i still see who?, TM and calder posting?
i guess i mean the accounts- not the in game names-
forgive me if i troll here at work too-
i actually went by mikmouse24 (because i didnt knwo i could change names at the time) i played for about 6-8 months i think- then all my friends went to wow- and im still havin a blast there- but im more of a sci-fi spaceship guy and needed to come back-
-i had left off at corvus and finally made it back to itani space- after gettin shot up - all monies and ships gone- yay for ec-89 i guess- time to start all back! but hey at least i didnt lose my licenses-
here's to the $ grind again!
Nov 11, 2008 Forboding_Angel link
heh, $ grind? Quicktip, take an ec89 equip a mining beam (I believe you can with ec's), find the first rock you see closest to the station. Mine the crap out of it while jettisoning all the cargo. do this to several roids, pick up as mcuh as you can hold, land, sel, take off, pick up land sell. etc.

You can make enough money to buy a bigger ship fairly quickly, like a rev. Mine with it, etc. in an hour or so you should have enough money for the necessities.

(that's pretty much the way I did it)
Nov 11, 2008 mikmouse24 link
thanks for the tip! sound like what ill be doin with a bigger ship-
so i found that i had left all my expensive goodies scattered throughout itani space- and it was like christmas morning when i figured out they were all still there!
SO- im ahead of the game- now to make more$ so i can afford to get blowd up!

Yeah, that excitement will be short lived.
