I have always wanted to play Eve properly, but I could never stomach the EXTREME death penalties involved, even with insurance and clones etc etc, the downside of dying and running around getting back to the same state etc you were in before just killed the experince for me. I tried the trial twice, and both times I deinstalled it because of the penalty involved.

I can't stand PvP, but I love space sims so you can see my quandry.

I'd be interested to hear the best way to enjoy Eve fully, without much death risk and enjoy as its meant to be?

Can a PvP hater ever enjoy this game?

Anyone is same boat as me and plays Eve.....how have you gotten over that hurdle?

you don't HAVE to PvP

you can break the Eve universe down into 2 areas:

High Security space (hi-sec) where space is policed by CONCORD. if someone tries to shoot you, they come and blow up that guy's ship

and then there's Low Security space (lo-sec) where you're on your own. you can kill anyone and anyone can kill you

you can stay in hi sec, do missions, mine asteroids, find trade routes, do complexes (like dungeons in fantasy mmos), explore and find worm holes and exploration sites.... just that in lo sec the asteroids are more valuable and the complexes/worm holes have more valuable minerals... basically the greater the risk the greater the reward.

but you can totally stick around in hi sec space, there's lots of stuff to do there.

there's also non combat content like research and manufacturing that doesn't require you to go to lo sec

Titoist is now a member of a corporation in EVE with myself, we enjoy mission running, some pvp and mining, as for PVP it is easy to avoid if you learn the mechanics which to be honest does not require that much time and effort as "some" people make out.

The problem is that it is fun to PvP, but not fun to lose everything just because you want to PvP. It is a choice, but the cons almost entirely outweigh the pros.

Indeed, and correct me if I am wrong, but aren't some of the best areas, such as in the newer expansions in low sec space?

If I recall high sec space is extremely limited. I realise some ppl would say that's the whole point of Eve, but you can not

say with any semblance of sincerity that the imposed extreme death penalty in Eve is in any way enjoyable or justified.

I've played EVE on and off for the past 5 or so years (since launch), and I would have to say my best memories took place in low sec not a month in from starting my most recent account. I joined a small pirate corp and we did our best to menace about 20 or so low-sec systems. We were not as well outfitted as many of the larger pirate corps in the area, and we had a large number of extremely new players, so we mainly did frigate wolf packs with perhaps a vegabond as support. The sense of danger coupled with pulling off the perfect gank or bait kill made for some of the best MMO experiences I have ever had.

Of course the drop from 0.0 to -9.7 sec rating within a month pretty much crippled that character from many high-sec oppertunities, so I rerolled a gallente and ran a corp of a few friends in caldari (care-bear) space for a few months before stopping this past fall due to time restrictions placed on me by college (senior year).

EVE is a bit of a marmite game, I really hate to coin it into such a phrase but it does suit it well. You can either love it's unique style of play where death is punished or hate it.

I personally enjoy EVE, I live in high sec mainly, I have made lots of ISK, and I fly some of the best ships in EVE to date, as for low sec and null sec, well get yourself into an alliance, many corps in high sector space have low/null sec systems, once you are in one of these, you only have to make the trip once, and install a jump clone. You can then enjoy the best of both worlds.

To finish, one simple saying is predominant in EVE.

"Don't fly what you cannot afford to loose twice over"

I would really like to play but evertime i do and follow them tutorials i get lost at the end get lost jumping through star gates etc then can't find my way back to the start does anyone have any tips i can follow or something?

You mission journal has all the locations for anything you are doing. Just right click and set destination to where you need to go, then hit autopilot. Autopilot is slower than manual, but at least you can be at ease till you start to learn the game some more.

IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it.

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
