thanks for the link, came to the forum to ask this very question and was pleasantly surprised to find it already answered. (Now posting from Ubuntu :D )

though I would have put it differently, I agree. Been hooked on eve for over a year now. Though, admittedly, it's not for everyone.

What I find really interesting is that we changed these viruses to basically act like nanobots for us. While they weren't completely assembled by us, they do serve the same function, little machines that build something on a nanoscopic scale.

to answer your question, nope. Shot Online

100 million would get you just a battleship, no insurance or guns or any mods, so you'd basically just be a flying lump of hitpoints, and I would put a pretty penny on you losing it very quickly, especially without any supporting skills. My advice would be to not take the easy way out and "get your hands on" 100m isk. Just because you have the money to buy a ship and the basic skill requirements doesn't mean you can fly it well. Just play the game starting from scratch and be a "noob" for a little while, that's where a lot of my best Eve memories lie. also keep in mind this game isn't about who has the biggest ship, but about who knows how to fly their ship well. I've played the game for over 9 months and I've never flown a battleship, not because I don't have the money or skills, but because I'm having a blast flying tech 2 frigates with 1/10th the hit points of a battleship and can be just as useful as a battleship even if I don't have 1400mm guns.

I won a free copy of that game in a drawing and played it all of 10 minutes before I got bored and quit :wink:

they didn't take it out, use "french military victories"

between Eve and Oblivion and this I may never be able to peel my eyes away from my computer screen.

nope, most of the people on there actually are real players, the Salvador guy is the only "fake" one i know of. If you want, next time you're in a station click on the missions button on the right then go to the bounty tab, then the most wanted tab and you can see all the people with huge bounties on their heads.

that Salvador Serpati guy is just a guy the devs use for events and stuff, not too long ago there was an event where he stole a gallente titan. According to the storyline he is the head of the Serpentis npc pirate faction (who you may or may not have run into yet depending on your area). As for what to train first, I would say get comfortable with using the best frigate of your race then go for all the learning skills to 3 or 4 except for the charisma one, at this point in time it's pretty useless. In the end sometimes it's just best to take a look through some of the skills in the market and see which ones you think you'd benefit most from. Engineering and Electronics are also nice to get up, as they increase the power grid and cpu of your ship making it a bit easier to fit what you want on it.

someone showed me this in IRC once and it is pretty dang addicting Ninja Game it's a little puzzle/platform game with over a hundred levels. another link, think it's a bit bigger.

trial key sent to indy, have fun :D

a little advice on the ship setup for Nadril's new punisher It's a general rule to stick to either shield tanking or armor tanking, not both, and since amarrian ships generally have few mid slots for shield tanking stuff, it's best to go with armor tanking and put maybe an afterburner and some electronic warfare mod in the mid slots, Webifiers work nicely here to slow down your enemy and make it easier to hit and catch up with. In the low slots I would suggest an armor repairer and an armor plate, with maybe a capacitor power relay to speed up capacitor regen or some resistance plating (depending on which type of npcs you are fighting) to reduce the damage you take. In the high slots a few lasers obviously, and since there is a slot that is neither launcher nor turret you could stick a nosferatu to drain energy from your oponents and add it to your own capacitor, very useful if you run out of cap fast. This is all being said without ever having flown the ship and on second thought it is probably impossible to fit all that without good fitting skills, some of the stuff you probably can't even use yet, but it's really just to give you a few ideas. like Nadril said, there really is no restriction on what you can be, if you find yourself getting bored with something, you can just stop training those skills and start training other ones. This isn't a game where you choose a class and then are stuck with it forever. You really can be anything you want to be in this game, in-game there are pirates, ninjas, mercenaries, mob bosses, drug smugglers, all within the context of outer space of course, but it is pretty much as open ended as it gets.

in-game I'm Ten'ketel if anybody wants help or just someone to talk to

I've been absolutely hooked too for 9 months or so. And to anybody looking for a game and wouldn't mind putting their $15 to work every month, I would definitely suggest trying it out. I can email anyone interested a 14 day buddy trial account, I wouldn't suggest posting your email here, but if you can pm it to me or enable it in your profile I can get one to you. A few awesome videos for you guys to check out of you are interested Eve Never Fades trailer (Hi Res, 118 MB) Eve Never Fades trailer (Lo Res, 30 MB) A great player-made trailer (34 MB, right click -> save as)

he might also want to find a more secure webhost, may cost a tad more, but to keep crap like this from happening it'd be worth it.

I'm currently following a game being developed in Denmark. Not too long ago there was a thread on the forums called something along the lines of "you will regret this . . . just wait for the attacks" and all it contained were a bunch of links to images with explosions, guns, and Denmark, with short phrases about how there would be retaliation. The pics were hosted on a site with arabic-looking letters and the posters name was just qqqqqqq. The thread was obviously quickly deleted and the poster banned, but it's still kind of a scary thing to think the next major terrorist attacks could very well be there. It's even more ridiculous that this was just some game forum. It's not like every single citizen of Denmark got together and decided to piss off an entire religion. I can still probably find the pics in my history but don't think it would be too appropriate to post them.

right before I moved to the town I now live in I went to visit the school to get my new schedule and find my way around. Just my luck that very day they had a bomb threat in the school. Kind of a bad coincedence.

sorry, but it wouldn't get the same effect, the sound has to be pretty much going directly into the ear canal. It has to do with the way they record it, basically sticking microphones inside a replica of a human head to emulate the way something sounds after it passes through your ear canal. more info

Found a thread with this on another forum and it is just amazing (in my opinion). You must be wearing headphones when listening to it to get the full effect, but it sounds more realistic than any 5.1 surround sound system. You can hear sounds in any direction and above and below you with any regular pair of headphones. (I find it works a bit better with earbuds) http://www.2loop.com/hsound.html I found myself actually tracking the box of matches with my eyes as it moved. Enjoy

holy crap, i was wondering what happened to you guys. Also that was awesome, never stop, never

i'm satisfied now, shifty bot if ya ask me.

Well i have run into a bit of a problem with my computer. A couple days ago i opened it up to dust it off and tidy it up a bit. I dusted it off with one of those can of air things and reconnected several wires, especially everything from the power supply to make it at least pseudo-neat. After reconnecting everything and attempting to boot it up it doesn't work. The cpu fan spins and the hard drive spins and all the case fans spin but nothing happens. The cpu fan doesn't slow down to a normal rate and my monitor gets no signal. I disconnected the hard drive and CD drive and got no POST. What did i fry? what should I look into replacing? MoBo or CPU or video card? Did i do something stupid? Any other forums or sites i should praticularly look on for help? I need some help before i go into withdrawal. I built the computer myself and it has worked fine until now so i'm decent with computers but i know there are some people on this board that know a hell of a lot more than me.

until a cure or even treatment comes out for the millions of people who don't have this weaker strain or don't have brick wall immune systems then it isn't anything that special.

it's an adrenaline rush from putting all your stuff at risk. While it may be "just a game" he probably spent hours upon hours getting his equipment, he sunk his own time into it, therefore it is important to him because his time is important. Also an adrenaline rush isn't a bad thing, it's exciting and invigorating. To actually answer your question, practice calm, steady breathing. The more you try and kill that monster, the better at it you'll become, the less nervous you will be.
