newb question... faster?

in EVE Online

hey guys, so i've played to trial before and really it, but i just couldn't get into it, now a month or so later i'm getting the feeling to try it again.

the one thing that i wish i could do though, is move faster (not in combat, not to be leet...) but so that i can do things like board stations and use warp gates easier, i was wondering what the best way to do this was, and how soon it would take to aquire it.

i've only playedd the trial once before, and so i'm still really new to the game, so any advice using the actual terms.. and not ahbreviations would be cool image

 

thanks in advance image

    CCP are releasing a major update around November 28th that will include many improvements for new players.

    one of which is reducing the warp distance from 15km to 0km (so you can jump/dock instantly after warping).

    Another improvement is character generation.  You will be able to start with upwards of 900k in skillpoints and some skills trained to level 5 already.

    Enjoy!

    28th you say? cool! thanks so much for the tip-off :)

     

    i never minded having to skill up very much... but the warp 15k away deal really was lame >_> thanks!

    Yea for some time now bookmarks have been providing quite a load on the servers so to fix it all bookamrks are being made useless [you can still make new ones] and station and gate bookmarks are now obselete due to new warp in distance.

    Ok well i already have the trial up, before i posted this, so if i make a character now, before the 28th, he willnot receive the extra sp.

    but what if i make a new char on the 29th? even if it's on a pre-exisitng account, will he get the starter improvements?

    Yeah there will still be people making tactical bookmarks (like instaundocks, instascans, instasnipes, safe spots, etc.) so I think there will be a lot of BMs out there in the database soon enough, but the travel BMs, which were clearly the most numerous, will be disallowed (you won't be able to create one within 15km of a station or gate).

    1) To *fly* faster train the navigation skill and use things like nanofibers, overdrives, afterburners and/or Micro Warp drives.

    2) To travel faster betweeen gates/stations use "Instas" for the time being but when Kali comes out you won't need those any longer because you'll be able to warp to 0km.

    are they lowering warp distances to 0km? or is this just a test server "feature" for easier testing?

    It's definitely coming, as announced at the fanfest.  Travel BMs are being deleted (all BMs within 15km of stations and gates) and a reliable WTZ is coming in, as you can see on Test.

    I believe its all bm's within 40km of stations and gates are being deleted. But then thats pulling at straws. =P Bookmarks will still be in the game, and you'll be able to make tacticals. They will just majorly clear up the database.

    Partially correct

    All Bookmarks within 40km of any celestial object (Celestial object is anything visible on overview from > 1,000km away that is able to be warped to) are being removed.  Once removed you will not be able to make a BM within 40km of a celestial object.

    At the same time you will be able to *manually* warp to 0km from any celestial object.  Autopilot will, however, still warp to 15km.

    Short answer is any charecters made after kali 1 goes live [for now we shall assume it wont slip from the 28th], they will get the 800thousand bonus.

    They are making the game too easy.  It is going to turn into WoW, which mean little kids will start playing.  The game was fine they just should of done graphics.

    Only problem I see now will be the POS BM's that will be destroyed... I would hate to have to go and set them up again...

        afaik POS arent Celestial Objects, but yes, as they are set to the warp-ins of planets, they could be destroyed.
        but i think they wont put it like that.
        Removing the Travel BMs is a good step from my view, i am just curious about they will change lowSec then,
        to ensure insecurity, rumors are telling you will be able to set of interdictor probes then there.
