Yeah, I had a little look on the Wiki and the ship I was using was a Wreathe it was easily my favorite ship, I loved the way it looked.

Ah Minmatar. For the most part, their ships look like the Reaver ships from Firefly.

One of the better ships the Minmatar use is the Hurricane BC. Absolutely amazing ship, love mine to pieces. Great artillery platform, or if you want, an autocannon ripper!

Oooo I've always wanted to try this game, so glad they did this. Now for a PC upgrade

If anyone would like, I've created a Corporation for the UFP to use. Its called UFPlanets Ltd, and is currently based out of Jaschercis.

Anyone interested in joining up, please let me know, and I'll arrange an invite.

I should say that at the moment, its only me in the corporation, and you may do better joining a full-fledged corp if you're after full-time action.

Love the Hurricane ship and the firefly reference.

Then please disregard my above.

This game. It's been so long since I have played it wow.
I just can't get into it or I don't feel like paying for it. So I stop playing.

Yes, mining is *very* dull on your own. Its more enjoyable if you go out in a group though.

Someone once said to me that EVE is effectively a full time career that you pay for by having a full time career. They're not kidding, everything happens in real-time. Skill training is measured in hours, days, weeks even months!

You need ISK to get the ships, and that's just the start. You can get the ship, but it has NOTHING on it. You need certain skills to even fly the ship in the first place (which btw you have to buy the skills!), then you need even more skills to use the equipment you want to use, which you also have to buy and fit. Then some teenager from Scandinaiva comes along and blows you up, which destroys your ship and he can loot your gear, and you get not much back, unless you insure the ship - which shock of shocks - costs more ISK.

Not really selling it, am I?

I tried to make a comeback a year or two ago (after a 2 year break) and everything was just so far overpriced that I just didn't want to make the time commitment lol.

Gallente drone boats were my thing, and towards the end I recall training for some type of repair ship - Logistics maybe? I forget the names.

Not at the moment I don't think, but you never know, people here will definitely return to EVE once FTP is active

I have played EvE for many years but currently I am unsubbed as I didn't like the way the game was going. I have three account and have invested a lot of money and time into EvE but I'll not return to play for free given the limitations that are imposed on an ex-member (veteran?). Given that two of my characters are 100K plus in skills and if I play free I cannot use any of my big ships. I cannot use any thing above a T1 cruiser is ridiculous. If they had said you can play at your current skill level and go no further then I would return.

I have play for years, and like mining resource with out lose a mining ship and try to figure out the market for trade in EVE Online.
Trade is mining resource to sell or make ships, ammo for market, etc. or Trade iSK to PLEX and then buy Clothing.Turn over to ISK, all with out undocking from station. I as do trade by traveling around moving good in EVE.
