Has any faction attempted to take on the role of a state? eg. providing assured business transactions, stamps of approval that sort of thing? "Do your business deals through us, and we will punish anyone who breaks the terms of those deals - here are our laws" That'd be interesting.

This (and the other Eve threads there) http://www.fohguild.org/forums/mmorpg-general-discussion/27167-eve-bob-lv-vs-south-east.html were what got me interested in the game.
I still haven't got into it as much I would like to, need more time dammit

I think with Sovereignty http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Sovereignty_Guide it *may* be possible. But what actually happens is that if you're not allied they just PvP you if you're not welcome.

You have time to read a 503 page thread and you need more?!?!
ok its easy
you have been given the mission i expect by your trainor. if you are doing the tutorial if you check your diary there will be a missions tab.
there you will find info and the warp in co ordinates to your mission.
i and one of my corperation mates have just spent 90 mins travelling 12 jumps from low security space to hi sec.
we had to hide cloaked for 70 of those mins and wait for a gang to leave. and we spent some more time hiding 150 km off of a bunch of ten guys with a warp scrambling bubble who were waiting for us.
they got bored and we made it home. never been so happy to see concorde police before hehe.

My guys are a little bit dodgy (we are mercenaries) we have been told we have until friday to leave the area or we will be hunted down and killed like rats. for different political reasons. as far as i can gather its about whos garden you can piss in. our piss stinks to much so they want us out . he
shame really becuase i was making an absolute fortune killing the rats. getting nice bounties and then soe of the loot was pretty too.
sorry babbling a bit. neways glad to be in safe space again. i just need to have my smaller ships and equipments carrier jumped now.

i have got to say as well. the suspense and then the success of not losing my ship with all of its tech 2 cargo and salvage was brilliant.
i have some very expensive equipment fitted and chose to carry all of my best stuff back myself.
if i would have gotten into a fight and gotten kiled i would have lost the best part of a billion isk (gam currency)
and wouldnt have been best pleased. so all in all very happy. heh

The "Journal" said the coordinates are in the "Journal"
mad so I never even thought to look in "People & Places". Which is a shame because I could easily have received the bonus if I'd found that in time. That is something I'm finding with EVE, it is not the most intuitive interface. Oh well, the mission was a success, thanks for your help.

I know my weaknesses, and will not submit to them!
i played it for a while, horribly good and addictive - only thing that saved me was playing on my brothers computer and i had to stop!
Basicly my alliance is in the process of taking over a neigbouring bit of space that is much better than what we have now. It used to belong to some guys who we fought for months a while back and then had an uneasy truce. They became unreasonable over a trifling issue so war broke out. We have pretty much won now and most corporations belonging to our enemy have left, leaving a few people who are carrying out guerrilla type operations against us.
Rik's lot had an agreement with our enemy to live in their space. When we won, they started making demands for the space we had gained rather than just asking and negotiating for it. Thats not a very clever idea with us
I believe we gave them safe passage out of the area, but I havent been on for a couple of days.We also have a fundamental philosophical difference from them, in that they will kill anyone who isnt allied to them on sight, whereas we do not attack neutrals, only those we consider to be enemies.
TAE: The interface is the worst part of the game unfortunately. You will get used to it soon though. Make sure you do all the missions that your starter agent gives you. They should then refer you to a "storyline" agent. Do that mission and you should be given an implant you can sell for quite a lot. If you stick with it then make sure you join a player corporation because they are what make the game worth playing. A good one to start with is "Eve University" who will teach you about most aspects of the game for nothing. Griefers tend to declare war on eve uni regularly, but they usually fight back very sucessfully.
BTW, theres a shiny new graphics engine about a month away from release for Eve. It looks fairly nice atm, but it currently doesnt use the GPU to do any of the high end stuff, so in really big fleets lag is a problem. The new engine will use the GPU properly, so it should not only look better but run faster.

I just had to give it up, though both my accounts are still active. The 'grind' really does my head in though.
Switching to mac helped as I have to reboot into Bootcamp to play which I don't like to do. I'm not looking forward to the Cider Mac Client as teh addiction may restart.
It's works soooo sweeet on a bootcamped iMac though
(The game uses processors rather than graphics card to generate graphics until the imminent graphics overhaul).

Man, if they can make my Raven look good then I might start playing again. The current Las Vegas Casino look is horrible.
