Errr.... 10M like in 10 million? Isn't that quite a lot?

From the newbie perspective, yes, it's enough to keep you going for a couple of weeks.
Look up the cost of the skill "Advanced Spaceship Command" or "Capital Ships".

Newbie alert: And where is XorX?

XorX is my main character. Take a look at your 'People & Places' and add me to your buddy list.

Ok, thanks Vac   I'll log in and add you then

Ok, decided to make Safran Foer a triggerhappy pilot, so just spent 3M on books.

Still thinking to make a hauler alt, but if anyone else wants to fill that niche, be my guest. Getting Safran up and running is my priority to be honest.

i know form experiences Beos toon Thera has nice refining skills, plus flies a freighter to get stuff about ,and she also has some mining foreman ability (not sure if this has improved since she defected from me to Beo  )

and im sure other have nastier ships than my stealth tackler type

She hasnt changed much, although is on path (40 days left) to become my 2nd Jump Freighter pilot.  May eventually move her into a Rorqual though  - although Achura learning command skills HURTS!

Beo, mebbe time to make EVE-dedicated directory? Next to WAR and LOTRO I mean...

Although, wouldnt be HoJ of course... But it's convenient  

Shall be done soon. I'm also going to reconfigure my personal killboard so anyone with permission can post on it and link it in said section too

Orca? is it any good sure she has most of the skills for that just an idea

[Jarkko]

I tried to start a discussion with Safran and Kumatachi, but I get a warning screen and get told I am not "whitelisted". Err, uhm?

Ammik's flying one of those now, so I'd sooner have its low sec big bro in the family too.  Compression services to offer to the marketplace via a rorqual are always good and profitable from a quick bit of research

They need to friendlist you or you get told that - and have to pay a fee to speak to them.

Or all of you just join EVE NEWBS channel and do it that way.

Go to the little image of two blokes talking on your Neocom (about 3/4's of the way down it) and then it should bring up a list of channels. Click the tab marked JOIN at the bottom and type EVE NEWBS into that box.

I'll add you to my Buddies Jere

Also for those thinking on EVE, let me buddy program you:

  » Eligible subscription activations can be funded by any payment method except EVE Time Codes.
  » Trial accounts must subscribe within one week following the trial expiration to qualify for the promotion.
  » Please note that once your friend purchases an EVE Online subscription, your 30 free days may take up to 24 hours to be applied.

[Goatboy]

Buddy program has been extended to 30 days hasn't it?

EVE NEWBS rocks! Join it.

Eve is much nicer with friendly feces faces around.

Thank's to XorX's money, I've been able to outfit my Merlin class frigate pretty well (I think). Altough I do not seem to be able to figure out what to place in the slots called "Hardpoint upgrades", any advice please?



Heard so many nice words about Salvaging last night, so I decided to go for it first. I've already succeeded to spend most of the money XorX sent, so I guess I need to earn some cash myself. And as I find mining dull beyond belief, I thought I'd try this thing called "ratting" and see how fast I can get my butt handed to me

You need to train "Jury Rigging" to 3 then the appropriate hardware rigging skill to use them. Rigs are *incredibly expensive* (20-30M per Rig often) so don't bother until you're fully min-maxing your ships.
