Hi
So I insured my ship a while back whilst in a different sector (can't remember which). I just got blown up and want a new ship from my insurance. How do I get it?

OMG, after 2 hours I have finally made it back to Arnon and equipped a Rifter. Feeling a little bit safer.

Youre in an NPC corp at the moment and you have an opportunity to tell them "Good fight. Im new, can I join you guys and learn whats up?"
I can do this?

One other thing that has gone wrong tonight that I don't know how to recify is the Drone tracking device I was trying to deliver as part of the Sisters of Eve mission. During one of the several ship losses I've had tonight I have lost the device and I have no idea where. What can I do to complete the mission without it?
I am not even sure which system I was in when I lost it :( it wasn't the mission system though

I am not even sure which system I was in when I lost it :( it wasn't the mission system though File a petition and ask a GM for help. GM's love to help new people, plus they can reset a mission so you can acquire lost items (normally only done for beginner missions).
How do I file a petition? sorry if thats a dumb question.
lol I foolishly thought I was starting to feel comfortable in Eden. It kicked me up the backside to teach me a lesson haha

There's usually two ways people end up flying with bloodthirsty savages. By referral or by getting shot in the face and taking it well. Generally speaking we tend to look favourablely on plucky newbros willing to take it on the chin. There's something of a tradition amongst the veterans of inflicting losses on newbies as a sort of litmus test. If they rage and spit vial you can laugh at them , if they take it well you shower them with advice (some of us have been known for replacing ships/reimbursing isk) The people who've blasted you will most likely (though not necessarily) fairly easy going and willing to chat with you.
I'm feeling a little better now but earlier was was fuming haha. Lesson learnt

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
omg I've been destroyed again. this time on the SOE mission. Thats the 4th Rifter I have gotten through in as many hours. What am I doing wrong? Up until tonight I could manage hostiles fairly easily, then all of a sudden BAM. I can't even last 30 seconds against these guys :(
I want to cry

You need to dump the data in the can and get out quick if your not combat capable.

Fit short range autocannons: High slots: 3x 125mm Gatling Autocannon I 2. Whether it's long range or short range, you need propulsion to control the range: Med slots: 1mn Afterburner I 3. Fit defenses. You're a frigate, so the defenses are your speed and agility. And maybe a shield booster or armor repairer. Because of the energy neutralizing issue with the one boss mentioned above, try a passive shield defense. This means you want to extend your shield as much as possible, and then increase the natural regeneration rate of your ship's shield. It uses no cap at all. So: Med slots: Medium Shield Extender I (this is a cruiser-sized module, oversized for the Rifter) Low slots: Shield Power Relay I x3 (these will recharge your bigger shield) Remaining slots: Med slot: Explosive Deflection Amplifier I (shield resistance module) High slot: if you have the powergrid skills to fit a rocket launcher, go ahead. You can try to replace one of the Shield Power Relay I's in the low slots with a Micro Auxiliary Power Core to create more power to fit the rocket launcher, but your defenses will be lower. I copied this fitting from the EVE University wiki, and a lot of people say they have some pretty bad fittings there, but it's better than what you have. You can google "Rifter PVE Fittings" if you want, but the basic idea is the same: - start with the weapons and figure out what range you want to fight at - make all other slots enhance the weapons or provide appropriate defenses (including speed as a defense) You typically want all the slots on a ship to be fitted for a purpose, rather than with random crap that you have in your hangar from previous missions.
Oh thank you so much. I can't express how humbled I am by all your advice. You guys really are like a giant family

Solecist Project wrote:If you run missions, I suggest not using ACs, but going long range instead.
It makes it far less tedius. A thrasher with 280s works wonders for lvl1s and lvl2s.
I suggest you go read guides on fitting ships, instead of copying fittings of others.
You know how it works. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day ... ... and annoy you the next day again, because he wants another fish ... ... so he'll just get killed, because he's an annoying, self entitled ****.
Instead, teach him how to fish so you don't have to kill him.
:)
Oh and ... it looks like you did not do all tutorials ...
I thought I had. but to be honest I was so confused at the beginning I may have accidentally missed doing something
Great analogy of the fish.

It's like you either completely ignored it, or didn't do them at all.
Do them. Read guides. It's not hard, really.
Just take your time. In EVE, everything takes time. :)
You would make a great school mistress, I feel like I've just been reprimanded lol. I'll bring you in an apple tomorrow ;)

Luke Skywalking wrote:Hi I'm a new player too.. about 12 days old.. also around Arnon sector so hit me up if you wanna fleet up and do stuff together. Anyway.. in regards to your question about insurance and ships.. don't expect too much.. they pay you some ISK when you get your ship destroyed but most probably won't cover your costs anyway... Have you done career agent missions? Those missions serves as introductory tutorials and you can get a few million ISK and a bunch of frigates, mining barge and destroyer.. so perhaps that will solve your problem and make you happier. Just press F12 and start... See ya around.
Hello Luke,
I'll ping you when I'm online and in system. I must admit having working together would be useful.

Shrug, based on the linked fitting, I thought you needed basic advice. Apparently that's not the case. Oh well.
Oh trust me I do need your help :D

thanks for this Memphis. Now looking through this and figuring a way forward. Guess my understanding of the tutorials wasn't so great

A note for PvP, if you plan on killing another player you need to stop them from simply warping away, warp disruptors/scrambles will do this.
How do I use rigs?
thumbs up; I have a warp disrupter :)

Memphis Baas wrote:Yeah, we'll answer questions here; I don't think we're posting any mind-blowing revelations or anything, it's just stuff we've googled in the past and remember the answer to. No need for extra thanks. Especially since in-game we won't hesitate to shoot, if presented with a favorable situation where shooting you (PVP) and looting your stuff is profitable.
The game has some depth to it. You have to consider how you fit your ship, so that the ship's purpose and listed bonuses are maximized. CCP devs have balanced the game and the ships assuming that you're fitting correctly; a ship without proper modules and weapons is like a naked dwarf trying to solo a dragon (it'll go down in flames).
Well thanks where thanks is due. A lot of the time I am wandering aimlessly about so all help is appreciated, and the info here for me is a revelation. There is so much guidance on Google, some good and some bad, and I could spend time researching it all (and I do) but these bits of advice allow me to hit the ground running so to speak.
Every day is a school day and I am slowly gaining confidence in interacting with others in Eden. Hopefully one day I will be able to ladle advice onto others in the same helpful way.

I see where you are coming from Sol :)
Would you go shield relays or capacitor relays? What boosters should I supplement with them?
Do I get rigs on the regional market?
