So you’re finally taking the leap to Null Security Space (Nullsec) after listening to some podcast about how rich you can become living in zero security space, after starting to play the game yesterday! While most players would go to https://www.eveuniversity.org/ or join a newbro organization such as Brave Newbies, KarmaFleet, or Pandemic Horde, you came to us for expert advice!
Here are the top five tips you need to survive your first foray into Nullsec space in EVE Online:
- Always and I do mean ALWAYS fly the biggest and best fitted ship you can afford. Going into the unknown is scary. It’s always best to have the biggest and best fitted ship as you make each jump from one unsecure gate jump to the next.
- Never accept a fleet invite from someone you don’t know until you have assurance in a private chat that they just want to help you.
- In the likely situation you will encounter a gate camp or two along the way, store a couple hundred Plex in your cargo hold to jettison to the campers as payment for passing. They will be grateful and you will get to keep your ship.
- Nullsec space is a vast place with very few NPC stations to dock in. While traveling, look for player owned structures which advertise as freeports for anyone to dock. People are naturally nice and willing to give a tired traveler a place to dock up for the night.
- It is considered very well mannered to announce yourself in local by giving everyone in system a “o7” or “o/”. This will give the residents of that system an idea that you are there and that you are friendly and mean them no harm. In fact, residents of 0.0 really enjoy random visitors flying to their asteroid belt, moon, or site while they are mining or ratting. Remember Nullsec is big and lonely, and people love the company of others.
We hope these tips will help you in taking the next steps of becoming an elite, rich, and bitter veteran player of EVE Online.
