These agent missions or whatever theyre called should keep me busy for the next couple of days. The business dude has 10 of them and I'm just now finished up my 2nd. I think there were like 5 different people offering me missions. Browser is handy while auto-piloting.

Edit: is there anyway to move about freely with wasd or anything? Or is it all context menu and right click based?

true but auto piloting is a lot slower than manually flying. not to mention its a death wish if you are hauling around valueable cargo or dare travel out of highsec (or in highsec if wardec'd)

right click gate and you can either

warp to zero then jump when you get to gate OR

just right click select jump.

autopiloting puts you 15km away from gate so you ship slowly has to fly to 2500m from the gate before you can jump. if you use the above method youll warp on top of the gate everytime and jump. basically it saves you alot of time.

god forbid you are in a slow ship, autopiloting will literally take FOREVER because ships will take a full minute or two to get to the gate before every jump. so ya basically every time you warp into a new system, right click the next gate you want to goto and select jump.

I'm in my starting ship "Velator" or whatever. Seems like the top speed is 3000km/s

Edit: Just got a "venture" but its taking 16 minutes to train "mining frigate" so i can make it active and use it.

Downloaded that PDF, this might well be worth a look... as a fan of Homeworld I think I could get into it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

because its not linked in this thread, here are the two videos that got me to try eve. first, possibly the most epic pvp video ive ever seen. not only does it show the fights but it builds up the story. dont fuck with these guys.

I recommend you watch the rooks and kings video LAST. its hella long and honestly a lot of it wont make any sense to you.

Rooks and Kings Worm Hole Corp Story - warning 37 minutes long, this isnt just a battle but an epic story. they have other videos as well if you like their work

CCP Dominion Trailer - next is one of ccps trailers. it is pretty fucking cool and i recommend you watch it. less than 4 minutes long. its basically a battle between two alliances, however it ends with both sides getting fucked [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rQ9_3DckAQ

CCP Butterfly Effect - an honorable mention is another ccp video that basically shows how you can impact the eve universe by a simple action (butter fly effect.) pretty cool even if you dont like the game.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq2oxt7Nrxo

Cheesy CCP "I was there trailer" - based on a real story. semi-cheesy but worth a watch. Basically one of the ship types in eve is an intercepter. they are pretty fuckin fast. his job was to fly his interceptor to the middle of the attacking fleet. this would allow his fleet to warp to him meaning they would warp right on top of the enemy fleet. since the enemy fleet was fitted for long range, once the other fleet was on top of them it was over.
