Thanks, after hearing that from a few people in game and yourself I went ahead and subbed. However it did not add the days left from my trial sad. I am currently talking with a GM about it though, so will let you know how it turns out for future reference.

You registered on 06-21, you redeemed your 30-day code on 06-24, and now your account expiration is 08-05.

If it were not added, the expiration now would be 07-24, so yeah it works smile

Ah alright lol, missed that somehow. Just saw the 30 day account code, thanks!

Seems like it wasn't answered here:

Yes, you keep your trial days + gain the 30 days.
By subbing (and with every new subscription) the gametime is added to the existent one, the only thing that changes immediately after your first subscription is the change from trial to full account. Though if you do that while being ingame you will have to relogg for it to be applied.

Edit: for grammar

I ran into that as well, if you go a ways north from alpha there is some unguarded titan as well.

Wow great information! Learned quite a few things from that smile. The guy from that corp did contact me back, I was just impatient and he was afk lol. So far I have the the Yagel and it seems to be doing well against what I have been running across in missions, and is a lot of fun being really fast along with packing a hard punch with 3 EM guns fitted(cant quite fit 4 yet as my reactor is to low). I love how you can use cover like that in combat and have been taking advantage of that as well. I will look over those guides as well, thanks again!

Thanks a lot for all the help, I was trying to join a small corp that just started a few days ago. He said he was looking for new and vets alike, and I thought it might be fun to join a corp starting in alpha and helping them move to beta/gamma down the road. He is online atm, I sent a msg and one last(via the forums) maybe he's just afk mining or something. Oh well, I am sure there are plenty of other corps that might take me under their wing smile.

One more question, then hopefully I am done for a while cool.

Are the bots all pretty balanced? As a close range bot, I could see it maybe being a problem against longer range bots like yours especially as I start out since I will need to get within 100m to start shooting(on the EM weapon I have so far).

Never mind about the gun question, it's a bit different than Eve in the information windows guess you have to have the gun actually fitted to see the difference from your abilities. The EM gun seems much better after figuring that out, still curious about the sub question though.

Thanks for the post Macavity, I tried joining a small corp already but he wont reply so assuming they don't recruit trial accounts. If I go ahead and sub in the next few days will I keep the rest of my trial time as well as gain the 30 days? Also I was told EM guns are better than firearms yesterday, however the Light EM-GUN seems worse on dmg and cycle time compared to the light autocannon? However it does have a higher optimal range, is that because I just need start putting points into my weapon usage for EM weapons now as a Nimquol I assume?

Sorry for all the questions tongue

Well most people dual-box in pvp by using a "boost-bot" with remote sensor amps, remote reppers and sometimes nexus modules etc. Most people only control only one pew-pew bot at a time.

Since this boost robots are almost always industrial bots you can train for them as pvp-support and still do some mining.

I myself do not use them and have to rely on corp-mates but that is not a big problem. They are mostly used for larger engagements anyway.

Player build structures are very nice, but you have be very rich and powerful to actually use them as intended. The entry-level is high for the current playerbase.

Edit: i have an edit button wink

Sounds good, wasn't sure if getting an indy bots training up for combat would take long. I would probably try to not use it for that however, as it just seems unfair to me in a way for someone who can't afford it but that's another topic. I assumed the player structures would be pretty expensive, but it is a goal I can look forward to some day which helps in motivation.

lol about the edit button, guess trial members are out of luck on that feature! Look forward to seeing people in game and thanks again for all the quick help.

If you're legitimately seeking out a tackle role, you can do fine solo as a tackler, while a follow bot would help a little it's much less pronounced then on the larger heavy mechs who have an innate ability to chew through energy and in general benefit more from the stacking effects of mods in their heads.

If you stick with ewar  you'll find that in larger fleet fights you'll end up pairing up with another ewar to give each other remote amps as your head slots are important and arm slots are largely useless (where RSA's go).

So for a single account, i'd say, you're on the correct path for what you want and what you're willing to invest.

grr no edit button strikes again lol, accidentally hit post instead of quoting your post too. Thanks for the tip and glad I chose the right path with ewar smile.

Kelron when you played eve, did you ever purchase Plex with in game currency, seeing how you said $ was tightk?

I never quite up a high enough daily income to be able to purchase plex unfortunately, though I was getting close. I ended up leaving Eve because money was tight as that was around the time I got laid off ironically.

Odd, I wanted to edit some grammar errors but there is no edit button for posts? This has to be the only forum I have not seen an edit but which is somewhat annoying lol.

Yes they have and it is quite awesome.

Good to hear, one more question before I take my leave to play smile.

I have been reading about multiboxing being rampant in PvP which intimidates me. I don't mind people using it for mining and pvp, but I do have a problem with using multiple accounts for PvP. I am currently low on cash will be for the foreseeable future as I am going to school and out of work(though looking for a part-time job). I don't mind subbing two accounts in the future when I need to since the game is only $10 a month, however more than that would be out of the question. The only thing I would want to use the other account for would be making money via mining/playing the market though and not PvP. Will this be a problem or if I join a corp would they care if I PvP solo in general?

Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the reply Syndic and the help in-game last night! Even with a smaller player-base I suppose the community is probably much better, and glad to hear I wont run into issues finding PvP. I may have to sub after my trial big_smile.

Also I have read something about player built structures and housing, have those been implemented yet?

(26 replies, posted in General discussion)

Well I became interested and just found out about Perpetuum(man this game needs some ads I think it came out over a year ago?). I have been playing Eve Online a lot in the past(played over 6 month's) so am pretty familiar with this setup, which is refreshing after coming from swtor(forgot how much I disliked theme-park games and gave that a shot lol, been on mmo hiatus since I left that 2 months after it launched).

Anyways so far I have a couple of questions if anyone is kind enough to answer smile.

1. The tutorial explains the different zones like alpha, and beta and explains what the yellow bars mean as they are beta zones and you can pvp. However it does not explain what the red lines on some of them means?

2. The player base seems very small compared to Eve, with only 42 players online right now. I read in the thread below mine peak is usually around 200 players(is that US time)? Also after checking the "Most Deadly Agents" the player with the most kills this month has only 30, and I am primarily a PvP player. So does this mean I will have a lot of trouble finding PvP when I start doing it daily?

3. How long does it take to get viable in PvP? In Eve it took about two month's to become pretty viable and for me to start getting kills, however you could play a small roll in pvp very quick after starting if you wanted.

4. I just got my first mission and the tutorial says these missions are not intended to solo? Can I solo any of them, is it like Eve where you can solo up to around level 3 easily? I plan to join a corp if I stick with the game, but being so new and unsure if I want to sub I would like to wait a bit and see if I plan to stick around so I don't join a corp and then leave them within a week.

Thanks for any help!
