EveMon makes me happy - slap in your API key and then work out what you want to fly.

As Goat mentioned I am often in the EVE NEWBS channel in game - so join it and say hi if I am in there - Mangala Solaris is the character I am in there the most on.  Or a variety of other characters with Solaris as a surname, with one or two exceptions.

I have 2 corps one is Ma'adim Logisitics. My main and all my alts bar one sit in it. The other is staying unnamed as is the alt in it. That one holds access to my major isk faucet and its all mine I tells ya!!!

Mang started out as an industrialist, then went missioner, now she shoots things - then missions a little more to keep my sec above (way above if I can help it) 0 :) Although I'm increasingly tempted to send her to under zero - to become a Pirate!

My alts are a mix of RnD characters, miners, haulers and a couple of bait alts as well as a potential carrier pilot in there should I decide to go that route (his drone skills rock and well the thanatos is nice on the eyes too...) and my trader guy too of course.

Certificates look a great way to make sure you have coverage of skills.

An often overlooked facet in Eve is using the right ammo for the target.  They go down much quicker if you spec it right.  Just don't go smart-bombing in Jita when you're bored :)
Drones are a great way to dish out dmg - esp if you're in a cruiser with decent drone space.

Grab all the look from the ships and salvage when you can - people like Beo put up buy orders on the market - so you can always sell. It all mounts up pretty quickly.

Watch out for the Worlds Collide mission - speed + tank is the key in the first couple of deadspace zones.

This feature is growing on me, in a "pokemon, collect em all" sort of way. Even if some of the things do make me go all head scratchy at why a skill is included in a certificate when its reasonable to say its unrelated.

Only got 2 elite ones myself on Mangala, rest are a hodge podge of improved, standard and even some basic. My rnd alts are all now approaching Elite in relevant ones there, which is nice if very very niche for them!

You'll be back - anyone who passes 6 months or so in eve, never really leaves :)

Ambulation is possibly next winters expansion (t3 is the spring/summer one along with the new box release) so you have a year of me and others showing how good eve is constantly!

its just 3 online games, life and all the other good games that arise take up soooo much time, if only each day had 40 hours :)

Why dont we just dismantle HoJ and all go play just EVE, as everyone is so enthusiastic about it     :D

Spaceships of Justice?

Small hybrid railguns of Justice?

Oh my god there's too many options of Justice?

You are already halfway in, the other half will take about 9 more seconds... of Justice?

Sounds good.

EvE's a great game, but it's not the type of 'join a guild, go do stuff' game that many other MMOs are.

It's more the type of game you play over months and years and people have distinct playstyles:

- Carebears
  - Mission Runner
  - Industrialist
  - Miner

- PVPers
  - Low sec pirate
  - 0.0 PVPer
 
- Empire builder
  - 0.0 Legionairre <--- me
  - 0.0 Fleet Commander
  - 0.0 Industrialist
  - 0.0 Miner

To that end, I'm still keeping my WH sub going, and at some point soon you'll probably see more of me.

FWIW, my 'newbies get 10M ISK' offer stands to any member of HoJ who joins EvE, and if a group of people do want to join, then sticking together and learning the game as a group will make life much easier for you. Beos and I will (and I hope he doesn't mind me saying) sub you guys the cash for your first battleships and gear (when you get the skills) - as long as you ALWAYS KEEP THEM INSURED.
