My name is Mario Mangiapane and I am a fresh pilot in the beautiful world of New Eden. I recently finished my training and decided to dedicate my career to the backbone of the empire: Industry and Logistics. I watched a lot of of cool videos about that game after people told me about it.
I am currently based in Jita and I am looking for a High-Sec Corp that needs a helping hand (and a big cargo hold!).
What I offer:
Dedicated Hauling: I fly a Miasmos and I love moving ore even if i’m really new.
Reliability: I might be new, but I am very active and want to build a solid reputation within a professional group.
Support: Whether it’s clearing out a station hangar or supporting a mining fleet, I’m your man.
What I’m looking for:
A chill, active High-Sec Industry or Mining Corp.
A place where I can learn the advanced ropes of the industry stuff.
Bonus points if there are other Italian-speakers or a friendly international crew!
I don’t have much ISK for huge collaterals yet, but I have plenty of motivation and a fast ship.
Feel free to contact me ingame (Mario Mangiapane) or send me a message on Discord (same name).
Highsec is a fallback position, not the place to play the game. If you want to learn industry and mining, nullsec is where you want to be. You also want to learn the PvP aspect of this game, because there is no place you can escape PvP unless you’re docking in a station. Knowing how to fight will only help you in the long run, even if you don’t ever voluntarily participate in it again. Any good nullsec indy corp will teach you both of these.
Stay far, far, far, far, far, far away from any random highsec courier contracts. 99.99999% of them are scams. They’re easy to spot. If it looks like you’re going to make a whole lot of isk for just a little bit of effort, then it’s a scam.
That’s a lie. Many contracts are not well-rewarding, but at the moment only a handful of contracts are scams. The only real scams at the moment are a few couriers that go beyond the max fleet hangar volume of a DST, every weekend 1-2 contracts to Aridia and 1 weird low sec structure delivery for a JF. If you stay way from delivering to structures and don’t deliver to/through low sec/null sec in non-cloaky ships), almost all couriers are legit contracts. Deliveries to/through low/null sec are not necessarily scams either, they just require more specialized skills and ships.
If you really want to complain about scams, look no further than Freelance jobs for delivering goods, which are going to be the new courier contracts soon enough. Most of these jobs are absolute rip-offs as they make it hard to figure out actual prices for good, the average price indicator is based on the universe average instead of the price that matters (Jita), and in many cases you cannot even check the market price for the requested items at all.
@Mario_Mangiapane, join the ingame chat “Haulers Channel” and you’ll find more legit contracts and helpful advice for all your hauling and other transport questions.
I can’t supply what you are looking for but I can say that I started with a similar attitude.
Explore EVE [Entropia Vincit Emporium] in your own time. There is no rush for an immortal to be a “success” and the failures you will inevitably encounter are the more valuable lesson in any case.
Null is not the end-game it used to be, reputation is - but don’t worry about that yet, just have fun faffing around and finding out!
When I searched this in YouTube, I was honestly expecting one of those “steps to win Eve” videos where step 5 or 6 is burn your computer.
@Uriel_the_Flame I suppose if someone can sit through the speed of that narration, then taking months to train into a ship isn’t that much of a challenge. Good video.
I rather preferred an articulated, normal paced and clean human narration for a new player oriented guide than a fast paced one that might be prone to difficulty understanding for people not native to the English language.
