I did not know that. Next time I need screenshots I will use that option instead of inadvertently taking my coffee cup, my ash tray and my lighter into the picture
I don’t have a “print screen” button but I’m on Steam so F12 should work.
Thank you!
Windows
Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. Default save location:
C:\Users%USERNAME%\Documents\EVE\capture\Screenshots
If using steam, you can also take a screenshot by pressing F12 on your keyboard.
Screenshots will be visible in Steam by navigating to:
View → Screenshots → EVE Online
This is a PvP game. When you play CoD do you expect people to give you a free pass because you’re a noob? Of course not. It’s a game about killing as many people as possible. Similarly, Eve is about killing as many spaceships as possible. If you’re expecting to PvE by yourself in a PvP M Multiplayer O you’re just being entitled.
Well that’s just rude. I offer my insights and experience and get met with toxicity. ISDs don’t close threads on the whims of users who the thread wasn’t even started by. This is a public forum, everyone is allowed to reply to your posts.
Oh hey, are my experiences still wrong now that Josie came back with similar results?
Thank you.
I usually have fun when I play EVE but today it was more than fun, it was exciting. Of course the idea of my ship replaced eased the tension so I can say it wasn’t a full EVE experience but you can bet I will go back to Null ( maybe not that system specifically ) and this time I will be ready to lose my ship and eat the cost.
Which brings us back to The number 1 rule when playing eve: don’t fly what you can’t afford to lose.
Or perhaps better in other words: make sure you figure out a way to make your isk, preferably a way that you enjoy (not necessarily the most isk/hr, fun is the healthy way to keep you hooked). Whether that is mining or missioning, manufacturing or ganking is not important as long as it makes you feel good about playing this game and makes you feel you’re making at least some progress in your understanding of how to control that beast called risk
As soon as you know how to make isk comfortably for your needs (which will happen very soon if not already if you’re realistic about what you should fly at any player skill level) most of that stress of losing a ship will be gone. It will still be annoying, because you’ll have to work to replace it, but it will no longer be a chasm to cross.
That’s the gist of our number 1 rule
P.S. If you like mining, perhaps one day you’ll do gas huffing - hint hint. It requires more from you as a player, so give it some time. And it will be sufficiently dangerous to keep it interesting.
@Josie_McMiner
First off, congratulations are in order. I didn’t believe you’d make it past Lowsec but you did, and well beyond and beyond my expectations, so I congratulate you for having the courage and fortitude to take up a challenge that you had no idea what the end result would be.
Congratulations.
You have proven to me that Nullsec isn’t off-limits. Hat’s off to you!
Look in your Contract window in the next couple hours. I’m sending you some stuff to thank and reward you. You didn’t have to do it but you did. You deserve it.
@Malak_Starfire
First I would like to extend my apologies to you, sir.
I didn’t have to treat you the way I did with my words in my replies to you. It was bad of me. Especially when I was mad at someone else and couldn’t take my frustration on the person who really deserves it.
But that’s no excuse, because I have no excuse. I’m ashamed of how I treated you. You have my sincere apologies.
Second. You, and a few others who replied to me, were absolutely right while I was absolutely wrong.
I also have no excuse for it so I won’t try to find one.
I was haughty, selfish, rebellious and plainly wrong.
You were correct. I was incorrect.
It’s as somple as that.
I am grateful for it though because it taught me a good lesson in humility so I thank you, Malak and you Josie, for proving me wrong all the way.
Indeed. That is why I bought those BPO’s to replace my mining tool, my Venture. My dad always said “having the right tool is half the job”. My dad was a great man. He was a real miner, his father was a miner too and his father’s father as well.
I figure if I enjoy what I do, it will not be a chore. I chose to mine in space because every time mining is mentioned I think about the great men in my family and also, I will make isk regardless but making isk while enjoying the play is cherry on the cake.
I can rebuild my mining ship and all its modules in a day That is why I’m going back to Nullsec tomorrow and see how long it will take until someone blows me up. If it happens I take a shortcut home and if doesn’t then I take ore home.
I looked into it. It looks interesting but I will have to wait for that as it requires Omega and I am not yet in a good place to spend money while I’m still learning the ropes. I feel it would be a waste. Otherwise later of course I will take Omega. I want to try the Omega Ventures ( sorry I don’t have the names off the top my head ) and mine 'til I drop, lol.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, Wadiest. I really appreciate that.
Thank you very much.
To be real tho, I did it more to convince myself than anyone else. When it looked like I was going to be able to stay and mine I was really surprised. It was eerie. And when it looked liked I was going to fill my cargo and leave I couldn’t wait to come here and tell you. I think “giddy” is the correct word.
You might have made it out of null sec in one piece this time, but you can bet your boots I’ll be landing on grid guns blazing the next time you try a stunt like that.
You will not know which part of Nullsec I’ll go to next. New Eden is huge, finding me will be like looking for a needle in a stack of needles. And I know about locator agents so I will act accordingly.
But let’s say you did find me and explode me. It would not be something I wouldn’t expect. I didn’t expect to make it out in one piece this time.
You blow me up and I will rebuild and be back out there within 24h, with more experience and more knowledge.
Bring it on!
It’s rare to see someone on the internet admit that they were wrong. I accept your apology and congratulate your integrity. I hope more people can self reflect and accept the advice and knowledge of others when presented with evidence.
I’m grateful you do. Thank you. I wouldn’t have been peeved if you hadn’t. Should you have chosen to give me contempt instead, I would’ve accepted it as deserved.
I’m leaving those bad posts up as a finger pointed at me, and also so I can re-read them and to remember that I should pour my wrath on the right person and not willy-nilly everywhere around me like an angry dog.
They say that EvE is toxic. The only toxicity that is bad for anyone is people like me who convince themselves that something is true just because they want it to be true.
I learned a good lesson today. I will remember it.
Nonsense. I’ve regularly roamed through nullsec. More often than not there is nobody there ! Only recently I had to fly an Eagle home from nullsec…with the trip involving 8 jumps through nullsec. There was not a single person in any of those systems.
That is why I’m going back to Nullsec tomorrow and see how long it will take until someone blows me up. If it happens I take a shortcut home and if doesn’t then I take ore home.
