EvE Online Tutorial - Starter - Ratting [Eve Co Pilot]

[Radmann916]

awesome tutorial.....thanks



[BalthazzarCH]

noob question: (i have the trial since yesterday) are the favorites globally saved or depending on the current system?

i other words: if i name my favortites belt 1,2,3 aso. in one system and go to another system will the favorites still be there? and if no: will they be back when i return to the system?

[EvECoPilot]

@BalthazzarCH Bookmarks(favorites) are unique to each system.

You are basically storing a single location within a system. So NO it will not be the same in a different system.

But Yes it will still be there when you go back to the system.

[BalthazzarCH]

@EvECoPilot thanks.... an other question if i may... is there a way to bookmark my home system & station (so i can set a route back without searching my homesystem on the galaxy map?

[darwish2k8]

Can any one send me a Buddy invite. I really want to play this game for 21 days :D

[knurlykneed]

It really works. Can flippers can be confused: Continuously jettisoning 1 unit of Velspar to leave behind garbage cans (dang appropriate name) , while mining for your own full shipboard load of any ore, has proven to be a nice payback for can flipper rats as evidenced by the grape vine and personal observation and chat channels.

[AC8Gambler]

Good tutorial but there are parts missing. When orbiting you have to calculate that your rat is trying to orbit you to. Especially when your guns are bellow 1km you usually want to orbit at 500 or just orbit, if you check your optimal is 1km and your falloff is 2km, this makes keeping closer to your opponent more viable then orbiting at 1km while he is too, add his speed and yours and you have 3km of distance often. Just something to consider, exact orbiting range works at +20km

[AC8Gambler]

@AC8Gambler I meant to orbit at 500 or just approach*

[McBlemmen]

I have spend 3 hours non stop mining (mining with an industrial with 1 lazor ftw?)

and i never saw any NPC enemies D: i was mining in 1.0 and 0.9 so maybe that was the reason

[EvECoPilot]

@McBlemmen that is correct, NPC Rat's dont spawn in 0.9 or 1.0

[Lengi123]

First time I ratted was in ahala which is 0.5.... Yay me! :3

[KingAfterDark]

Laughed at you saying that you managed to win the fight, when you obviously warped back to the station, and then fitted a second gun because you were getting your ass kicked.

Decent tutorial, though.

[anspaughnato]

If anyone wants a 21-day free trial, send me a message.

[Nikko3001]

Wow, for a .08 security system, ur taking a CRAPLOAD of damage. Im new as well but ive never taken that much in a .07 system...just sayin :S

[anonymouswastaken]

4:44 ... I see what you did there.... haha

[moofymoo]

should set bookmarks some 1000m above or below asteroid belt. warping right into space rocks is bad for warping quickly out.

[thc024]

@bluesmoke21 some npcs are worth 500k isk or more

[bluesmoke21]

@thc024 yeah... like how many? you have to kill a lot to get one worth that much, I don't know anyone to do that these days... I prefer ninja salvaging

[asfadasfa1234]

Lol i didnt know about checking services of the station so when i wanted to rat in 0.5 sec (before i watched this obviously) and i had to keep flying to different stations so that i could find one that had a repairshop lol.

[asfadasfa1234]

the copper tags from the rats sell for 50,000 ISK where i am. which owns. because my ship is a frigate (not noob ship) its a navidas (the biggest gallente frigate) which holds about 220 m3 space so this is a lot more effective than mining. thanks

[SparkMan527]

How do I find a lower level security system?

[Abband0n]

This was a nice vid. I wish you had mentioned the next step in PVE after random belt searching.

[asidonhopo53]

well done.

this is a good batch of information presented quickly and clearly.

thank you for putting it together.

[TheXordinary]

I have 861M isk ( got from my friend..) and only about 270k SP.. i advanced too quickly i think at the starting missions and cant realy complete the remaining!!...

I use railguns at the price of 4.5M each.. but some targets they just keep on missing! also i get webified all the time so i cant move out in optimal RANGE ITS FRUSTRATING..

also i dont have enough drone skills

I pretty much only use capacitor and powergrid boosting things in my low and mid power slots.. o.o

- i have played for 5d

[LoadedFront]

What would be a good sec level for a thrasher? I have a feeling 0.8 will be too easy, I was thinking of a 0.6 or 0.5 but im not sure what kinda rats I would find there.

[LIFESaREALLYlongGAME]

good video mate, really clear and covers all the basic elements that an advanced player often misses out in tutorials because most of it becomes second nature. Please make some more!"

[liberty211662]

What is the highest security in eve online and what kind of traffic goes on there.

[xampx2k7]

Damn good video, Thanks for making this

[Thedarksnw]

Ratting in empire on a noob shit is a horrible way of making profit. To succeed at ratting you need to level up your system, means only you should be the one flying around belts so noone ocasionally kills whole good pack and you lose leveled belt. Check out my guides for an alternative ;p.

[EvECoPilot]

@Thedarksnw please keep in mind this video is for new players. If you want to make money, level 5 different accounts, move them all out to mine in you lvl 5 mining null sec system, create alts on the account with maxed trade skills and power trade all the market hubs, and on the 3rd alt slot level super cap producers, and pump out 5moms a month..... an easy 30bill a month profit... but thats not really relevant to a 3 day old character now is it ?

[Thesilverstar1]

Thanks for the info. i'm downloading the 14 day trail right now. hopefully this comes in use.

[Halciett]

I plan on starting my Eve career soon, if anyone wants to use their recruit a buddy, just let me know.

[hwj943]

thanks for the vid

[MrWooaa]

i am wondering, do all off your turrets allwas shoot at your target? in otherwords, are there any positions were your target could only be hit by 1 or two of your wepons?

[ChenAnMw2]

No you can always shoot with all your weapons if you fit 1 gun module and then it exist 2 guns only 1 can shoot and another position other gun shoots so its 8/4

[blackhawk2442]

could have used a better ship....

[EvECoPilot]

@blackhawk2442 new players dont have a nbetter ship... I could of used my carrier and thrown 15 fighters at them, but thats not really goign to help newer players now is it

[blackhawk2442]

@EvECoPilot well said... actually i had no idea what i was doing in eve a last year anyway so yeah sorry heh heh... but that is very true

[kessaheve]

all that bookmarking the asteroid belts is completely not needed.

[HrMadsen]

good guide, thanks :)

[TomChair]

This was very helpful. Thank you.

[af1000]

to locate cosmos sites go to map and select the DED Deadspace Report Tab. Look for the cluster of Orangey Yellow star systems. These are cosmos systems. There is one cosmos constellation in each factions space.

[CityHunter84]

isnt doing combat missions more rewarding?

[af1000]

What our friend fails to mention is that the is % chance that a faction rat can spawn in the belt. Faction rats will have a name such as domination, guristas, dread guristas, shadow serpentis. They are tech 2 rats that can drop tech II salvage (u need salvage skill level 3) They can also drop faction modules and augmentations that are worth a hell of a lot. I have had high sec rats drop augs worth 70 - 80 million.

[af1000]

Rats in 0.5 cosmos systems that drop unique items needed to complete certain cosmos missions. Cosmos agents give one off story mods and blue prints that can sell for 100's of mill depending on type.

[skip8619]

I've been playing for a while, and I never knew you could set a default orbiting distance. Thanks for making these videos.

[ktnxbye]

Yeah these tutorials are well done, nice and easy to understand. You talk at a slow clear pace and cover all the basics. Hope to see some advanced videos from you soon ! keep up the good work, subscribing :)

[NickHey]

Hey Eve Copilot, been playing for a couple of months now, and found this very usefull, especially the bookmarks. Thanks for making it! :D

[identas]

EvECoPilot could you tell me your eve nick please?

[EvECoPilot]

@identas you can get me on " Puppy UK "

[shgjlsfg]

really? really? who the hell is the noob that made this?

[EvECoPilot]

@shgjlsfg im the noob that made this. your point ?

[SybilianShade]

@EvECoPilot

lol giv'em hell.. thanks for the video man, i'm new to EvE and us new players need these kind of videos, I love the game and I thirst for knowledge on how to be better at it.

[acr08807]

Yes, he changed the ship setup in the station, then he won the fight. That's not a fail, F473d.  The fail is yours.

[F473d]

Yes but the video suggested that you can win the fight with the setup shown at the start of the video, then goes on to change it and make it easy without telling the user how or why.

...

[EvECoPilot]

@F473d you can win that fight you idiot, If you must no why I cut the vid it was because I was ill and began to choke.

[LuciencesDeath]

nvm, i watched like half a minute of video and figured it out. i feel like a dumbass.

[LuciencesDeath]

im still a huge newbie cuase i only played a 14 day trial, and even that was over half a year ago so can some1 explain real quick. WTF IS RATTING!?!?!?!?!!? or a rat. i hav no idea wat either of those r, but i keep hearing the words used in these types of vids. Help????

[vett3l0l]

rattng is the act of killing rats, wich are the criminal npc's attacking miners in asteroid belts

[VarykGerai]

rat is short of piRATE, npc pirate i believe. Player pirates are the actual pirates. Ratting is grinding of those npc pirates.

[Qh3]

I'm a wow'er and the more I play wow the more I feel like such a dumbass compaired to the people who play this game. I'm about to shit myself to play this. I think my PC is good enough.

[VarykGerai]

im playing it for like 3 momths now and im pretty sure i dont know / understand 10% of what it is there. Applying the knowledge is a diferent story though. This game is def a retard check.

[Undeadspiral]

Yea, I know what you mean, but some of the stuff in the game is kind of worthless, so you don't need to know it. Well its not literally worthless, but you don't need to know how to tackle as a miner. So my 10% of knowledge is suiting me well :D

[agentdark12322]

honestly the best thing to do is do missions at lower skill level... ratting is only any good at low sectors...

[Smeddog1]

Wow! Thanks for the info. This helps me a lot. Keep up the good work!!

[EvECoPilot]

The video is cut out of many different clips, most fo them merge quite well, however you will get the odd hicup like this.

[jenjess12]

lol as a newbie (which i still am coz i only played trial) i went though 0.2 areas to get to the eve portal thingy

[TetsuoIidabashi]

I guess you are a merchant. Who teaches to just right click and sell. Dont look at the market. ^^ Hehe

However nice vid.

[EvECoPilot]

I will be plannign a market video, due to the time limits on the video's, and the focus of this vid, I did not have time to go into detail about the market orders without passing the time for the upload.

[cleanestair]

Nice, clear guide, much appreciated!

[DarkGokid]

great vid!
