This is actually a really good idea for an article series and it's pretty well written. While some parts aren't completely accurate, I don't think that's important for this series. What's important is seeing how a new player approaches the game and …

How did you come up with $40k???
I think they must have assumed the 40k figure was in the original announcement and neglected to say where it came from. I came up with the 40k figure in Massively.com's c…

*Sigh* No, the evidence shows bugger all, as I've explained due to the fact CCP refuse to release the active subscriptions. As you must be aware of, when the record gets high, everyone logs on their alts. All the high n…

Well done Nyphor, excellent article. The big problem with short articles on tanking in Eve, you are just scratching the surface of the topic, but you get too in depth and you lose most of your readers.

I felt so bad for people having to read that article that I felt compelled to start a series of articles on tanking. Part 1 is a bit of an intro and talks about armour tanking. Part 2 will look at shield tanking and I think part 3 will cover alterna…

I don't think it's a bad article, it's just a badly titled and badly focused one. While remaining informative it misses the thing it needed to explain the most.
It wasn't informative. It was blatantly incorrect …

I'm just noting here. That if I have skills trained in engineering I be better of with shield tanking and so picking a ship that are fit to shield tank. As opposed to "only" look at the ship and then decide. That coul…
I don't want to insult the writer but this article is terrible. It's like it actually goes out of its way to be incorrect. A cursory search on google turns up much better results. And so everyone knows I'm not just being critical, I'll pick the arti…

Would that be you, Nyphur?
p.s. Those are some great articles, by the way!
Yeah, that's me. It's sad that people plagiarise…
Mining? Quit.
The income from mining is so pathetic that you can make more running level 3 missions with a 2 month old combat character than you can mining with a 1+ year old maxed out mining character.

Actually, I suggest a covert ops ship because they can warp while cloaked. You can warp in at 100km to bookmark wrecks, then warp out. Then you can warp to each wreck in turn while cloaked, decloak, salvage it and warp out. your alternatives are usi…

EQ 2, a game that is solo friendly should be duo friendly right ? :P
I've played eq2 to level 30 duo before and it is very good if you pick two classes that compliment each other. We went with a tank and a damage …
