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.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
