Humble Daily: Eve Online

What's that Prototype Cerebral Accelerator? Any good? Do you know the content of the BTA, is that worth getting or is it actually just a skin?

That's pretty much been the story for their Daily Bundles. Like the HammerWatch bundle, which was just a HammerWatch sale. (It was truly just a HammerWatch sale. Top tier was priced at 75% off for a four pack, which was the same price the Humble store was selling it both before and after the daily bundle.)

What Humble is thinking is likely "People like bundles more than sales, so we can claim higher sales numbers if we just put a game or two together and sell them at regular sale prices."

Either that, or someone had the bright idea of doing two weeks of daily bundles without anyone bothering to find out if they could actually put together 14 decent different one day bundles.

Excellent, i will get it then, thanks for the info

Hyup.

Honestly I'm surprised the upper-tear is so expensive on this one. EVE Online is an OK MMO, but... it's an MMO. ;)

I love the model, they're essentially making people pay for a trial really lol.

It can be enjoyable to play solo. Both pvp and pve, tough pvp can be tricky and would prolly need cloaking ships to prey on lone sheep :>

You can mine to make money, you can shoot npcs that are availible for everyone to make money, you can make game spawn npc only for you (almost). You can produce stuff and sell it for money, You can explore wormholes and make money

Since i played i hear you can earn money on planets cooperating with dust 514 players as well

While I'd recommend finding a corp of like-minded players for support and the social aspect, %40 of players who subscribe after a trial go into missioning or an otherwise solo playstyle (mining, exploration, ect.)

Yes, there are many different playstyles. I was a miner/manufacturer for over a year living in the orange area in the middle-bottom area. CVA After mining ore you can sell it, refine it into minerals and sell it, or refine it into minerals and manufacture something for sale (ships, ammo, ect)

You can also solo exploration sites. Use scan probes to locate randomly generated sites (like a derelict ship for instance) after doing the hacking minigame, you will collect what's inside for sale or for your own use.

Another profession you can start from day 1 is called Faction Warfare, where you sign up to fight for one of the four empires against players who are aligned with another empire. It's an environment where its easy for 'small gang' warfare to take place and where new players can contribute meaningfully. Here's an example from last year. Leave annotations on for explanations. Battle for OICX Have some mood music since there's no sound

Other ways to make money which may not be immediately accessible are scamming (allowed in game,) suicide ganking (scan the cargo hold of a ship and if its valuable enough, kill him before the police kill you, your corpmates will scoop the loot,) some players who control popular chat channels charge money for advertising space in the MOTD. There is a mining corp that will write school papers for you in exchange for in-game money. There is a corp that will buy scrapmetal and other loot for a profit from people who run missions because they have good reprocessing skills. There is another corp that will put bounties on people's heads for you so that you will not risk receiving a retaliatory bounty from them (for a fee of course.) There are a ton of players who actually just sit inside a trade hub and will buy and sell things for a profit and never undock.
