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.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.

      Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.

      Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!

      Depends on what you need. Might be a bit clearer on what you plan to do with it. Sort of a waste if you get the newest and greatest, but don't know how to use it.
