I need help in Eve Online, basically - understanding the new esi, legacy, api system, and google sheets. I just feel kinda stupid here, all the changes and new tech, I barely have a grasp of the basics, nothing specialized.

I need to know what I need to learn to have an adequate understanding of how eve and spreadhseets work, also help to make apps would be nice... apps that are to use the esi system...

I need to better understand the legacy interface. I havent been able to have a discussion or hear a podcast or watch many guides because there arent many out there atm. I feel so behind in Eve because of my lack in ability to write basic python and understand the concepts of api pulls, spreadsheets, the math involved with spreadsheets, how spreadsheet functions work. and I just mean the basic concepts. which could be summed up in a few sentences.

If anyone know what I mean, I would love if you could help me out. I need to just have a basic discussion about these topics, and listen basically as a lecture, maybe where I can ask questions. Im learning along the way. I made my own corporation in Eve and have been playing a few years. I have a corp sheet that has a basic pull of items, so I got that figured out. I also have a copied but customized price pull from the four hubs in game. I love it! but learning is slow and I have no teacher. If you even know of sources of info that is free and on youtube, but relate to what I need and can identify them, please post them. I feel kinda overwhelmed because of the scope of computers together. I love them, but there is just SOO much to them. even spreadsheets.

Some basic math I lack, I never took calculus, or trig, or much past algebra... if that helps much. thanks if you can help.

I know @Oni and @Jiggly play EVE. Maybe they'd be willing to show you around and get you into a corporation.

Well to be honest Im not looking to get into another corp. I want to make my own more successful. Im willing to collaborate though. But again, Im really looking for help with mentioned above specifically. cheers


edit: do you think theyd still be interested?

Nice to hear others play. Don't really know much about the new ESI system. AFAIK they only began using it fully this year, so I'm sure there's limited information.

I can only recommend The Imperium.

Yeah it's the same for me. It's not that easy to get into some of the corps, but we do enjoy Imperium. I quite like some of their twitch feed too.

I am also getting into EVE online. I am a complete beginner though, and you look like you have some experience in the game. Do you think I should buy alpha (or whatever it is called) time? I am capable of renewing the membership every month, but it will likely take quite a bit of my gaming budget.

[singlehandlogic]

Sorry for delayed response. I just kinda quit getting involved with people socially online, and even in person I suppose.

Umm, tbh I dont play Eve that much anymore. I had run up to 7 accounts and played for almost ten years. I recently pulled all the skill points from 21 characters and made a ton of isk to invest in a new project. that said my previous operation is now retired. I have however setup a new operation but I just play whenever now. and its not very often.

Id say, go play star citizen tbh. I think its much better than Eve Online as a general, space immersion experience. Eve is unique though and has few competitors imo, as far as game design is concerned. Granted Im not a huge gamer... but Ive been playing since Atari. So yea Im kinda old school.

with the alpha changes, idk. Coming from the perspective of a NEW TO EVE player, you may not notice much difference, and Id say go for it! and keep it Alpha. You can now play for free... and do as you wish to feel the game out and I think Alpha does great at getting players feet wet.

If you LOVE it... then of course you need Omega. and that either takes real money or you being able to make a few billion isk a month to fund your habits. Personally, I have given enough thousands of dollars to play Eve Online. lol. Its time for me to move on. I payed one time fee for Star Citizen when 2.0 came out, and I have been playing here or there, as it develops. Its just more "worth it" imo, coming from what am I spending vs what am I getting - from the product. That aside, Maybe you create friends in Eve and decide to stay and invest like I did, going multi account Omega's and for years at that. I did pretty much everything I could think of aside from jumping a titan myself into a fight... I have yet to step in Super Capitals, but that is about to change now that I have changed my game play and dunked all my toons to start over. Maybe, some day, I will invest in a super character for lolz...

Id join a larger alliance as well, like Goons or Pandemic Legion, etc... if you wish to be entertained, if Eve and being in space is not enough. for me, that is enough so I tend to be nomadic.

What Im on about now is skill point farming. lol... and Im doing it pretty large scale and every month it gets one account larger. My end goal is a 24 account skill point farm, and Im almost at 12 account right now. It takes a bit to get it going the way I am... but my returns are nice it well worth the little effort (imo) to keep it going. SP farming lets me risk nothing, and make isk every month. I run 3 characters per account, all plus 5 implants, intelligence and memory remaps, for max sp training, giving about 3.88 - I estimate ar 4, injectors per month per character. This cost me 7 bil a month to run per account, but around 28 bil to start up. again, thats per account and for one month operation. My year isk atm is over 120 billion isk a year, my gaol is around 400 billion isk a year. You can easily do this but it takes a lot of isk to get 2x multi char train certs and a plex, and if you are starting it out, you need either time, to train the 5.5 mil sp, or you need 30 skill injectors for one account. so thats why its around 28 bil to get it setup. I can share my spreadsheet if you wish, I dont mind, I hope it can help and motivate someone who wants to make big isk easily. you make even more if you sub the account for a year at a time.

Im just no longer that serious about Eve and dont wish to play it 10-16 hours a day anymore like I used to. Time to make isk by not being logged in... and with no risk.

I now fund a new account with my SP farm, and I solo pvp... with very nice ships and fits with an injected pvp progod... max skilled for my ship class target and the weapons as well across all races in Eve. That said I am already profiting teh first month of my new business model and Ive put 12 bil in my wallet. I love talking Eve , and I really do love Eve but I love it so much it frustrates teh hell out of me and I hate it... sometimes the players in Eve can be really mean so make sure you ahve a thick skin or just ignore all the trolls and hate you will receive. Im rather sensitive and caring so it bothers me a lot when people are nasty. Even if its not directed at me.

heres a link to my crappy spreadsheet. I keep it updated with the prices around every month or two weeks or so. I am just learning how to use BASIC formulas as well with google sheets. but they really are the cookie cutter for eve and are a huge help.

This is kinda my new frenzy,
