like $5. they are too cowardly to use their expensive ships, which is why they are running away.

they can use those ships to bully newbies elsewhere

Hello. Yep, I still think Atlantis is Bolivia, yep, I'm still a giant idiot, yep, I'm still a huge racist. Some things never change!

I just sent you 150mil.

Buy a cheap ship, fit it however you can according to your skill levels and go try and tackle/kill a bad guy. Link your killmail or lossmail and I will give you another 150m.
An important thing in EVE is to learn that losing ships is okay and to not be fearful. Have your first loss on my dime.

I'm just kicking around in my Venture mining Azure plagioclase in super hi-sec. Apparently I have a Covetor and now I'm just seriously considering going Omega just to get back into that big sucker. I should stop pretending I'm not going to go Omega and just do it lol.

i mean when you are a trader you make more money when you have more on the market. if you spend 5b on PLEX that is 5b that is not making you more money.

you can start buying PLEX when you run out of things to invest in. once you reach 50b isk or so you can safely just buy whatever you want, so long as you never spend your 50b investing money. i never pay real money for eve

I’m actually surprised that I really enjoyed playing the tutorial. I thought it was going to be super spreadsheet mania (there some of that, but not bad) and it’s actually enjoyable.

"Jump freighters" are a capital-class ship (huge, massive, very expensive) that can essentially teleport, skipping wide swaths of space in a single jump.

Aside from these Jump Freighters, space-trucks aren't allowed to have such abilities, and must take the long route stargate-by-stargate to get to where they need to go.

Standard freighters can't teleport, but are also a huge and massive capital ship, and still pretty expensive for a new player. They find use mostly in High Security space - they're basically deathtraps and expensive loot pinatas in our region of Null Security space.

Sub-capital class space-trucks have a significantly lower-capacity cargo-hold. They're much riskier but MUCH less expensive. Absolutely purchasable by a week old player.

The one I saw with my own eyes was Oxygen Isotopes - usually going for about 2,500 isk/tope, were being sold for 3,500,000 isk/tope

Yes, 2.5 thousand up to 3.5 million - and people bought it. They had to.

Usually we tell our capital pilots to have 100,000 isotopes for move ops. There's some math porn there if you're only semi.

are you talking about someone buying all the fuel in the game, or some kind of local shortage? because buying all the fuel in jita sounds impossible, there is too much of it. it would be like a billionaire trying to buy all the oil in the world

That in particular were our agents inside T5ZI and other PAPI-controlled Delve systems setting those prices, buying up enemy fuel and relisting for the cost of gently caress-you.

I know that fuel prices are up through-out the entire game right now, but not to that extent.

So what happened? I looked at the sov map and it appears goons took all their space back. I don't know what the names of all these other alliances mean. I'm assuming Reddit declared victory and hosed off.
