Ughhhh. I just love this series. Perfect thing to enjoy after a play session of Eve in bed with a coffee. Also amazing to have on during playing Eve ❤️ keep up the good entertainment !

My corp just got kicked out of a C1 wormhole, after some stupid person lipped a multiboxer invader. And later evictor corp with 100+ ships came to take down our stations. After defending this hole for 7 months your Videos has been my terapy, brilliant work! keep them comming out. 👾😁

[@tabarnoucheinterplanetary]

Thanks! One of my big hopes for the series is that it will remind long-time players that there is a lot more in this game than the niche they've made for themselves. I've lived in wormholes before, and I've defended them from invaders, and, while it can be fun, it definitely does start to feel claustrophobic. Good luck!

[@asbjrnknutsen8761]

@@tabarnoucheinterplanetary Yeah, I had a vacation after, got relaxed, and did not give a crap that my first orca in the hole got blown 11 minutes into the maiden flight. When 8 stations blew up and billions of my reactions blew up, I watched cloaked on my alts, steaming it talking to my friends, having a blast as the loot the invader got was mostly highsec minerals and capital ship hulls they could not get out. was a fun day, now I will try some catalyst lowsec ratting :) Good luck!

[@shamusshafer8578]

This series reminds me of the first few days and weeks of playing in Eve, where everything was "wow, look at that!" and even little incremental improvements were sources of pure joy. This deserves much more attention. Have you posted this on Reddits /Eve sub?

[@stoops417]

This is great content to listen to while playing EVE. Plus I'm learning a lot about the basics that I've forgotten or missed when I learned it before!

[@Grugnak]

as a person who doesn't play eve, I find this incredibly interesting.

[@tutucox]

meanwhile in amarr , ohhh 2 multifrequencies... now i can rat for ever XD

[@dboydw3751]

Just found this series. I am thoroughly enjoying it! I only have one pilot, so this is giving me inspiration to start a new play through fresh! I honestly haven't enjoyed an EVE series this much since a nomad tale. Keep it up!

[@AdrianGell]

Continuing my own attempt at an hour a day as I view these. Had much better loot luck in my 3rd hour. Pair of mismatched drones for my Velator and I'm suddently up to 26dps per fitting window, after committing some ISK on Light Drone Operation. Looted another couple modules with Pyerite content and I've almost got enough to build a railgun. Bought the BPO at least. Current status: 541K SP, 196K ISK cash, 507K isk net worth.

Excellent progress! Join us in the Discord and In-Game Channel if you haven't already. There are a bunch of people there running variations of the challenge and sharing tips, progress, and comisserations.

Would love to hear and see other stories. Where’s the discord ?

Actually learning how to play Eve finally, even though I've been playing since 2010, by watching this series.

[@Jeff55369]

If you find yourself needing to mine Noxium, Hedbergite is the Mimatar lowsec ore that provides it. You'll also find Omber and Kernite there which will be your Isogen supply. I also think you might find it valuable to build a light missile Breacher instead of a Rifter. That will allow you to run some of the harder anomalies, since you can avoid the damage by just being far away from it.

[@dovakiinsarn1283]

i have recommended that on his prior episode aswell @ jeff55369 :)

[@NuclearFalcon146]

If I recall correctly rookie ships can use one light drone except the Gallente one which can use two. That Hornet can be used by the Reaper. However it would not be useable to the later Minmatar frigate you intend to acquire.

[@slutmonke]

after you finish this challenge, you could try a challenge where hunting other players is the only way you progress. IDK if that'd even be possible without a better starter ship, and it'd be hard to get a lot of needed items, but maybe you could setup the rules to make it a thing.

[@sir_slimestone3797]

I've decided to do a variant of this challenge along side you, the main differences being I'm allowing mission agents(LP can be useful for obtaining faction modules/ammo/ships albeit at a hefty ISK cost for some of them) but not career agents(they're so OP) and I'm Gallente working towards a vigilant. I rushed dps BPOs, I'm now equipped with Railguns and I have a Tungsten S BPO. Include the drones I looted and I do about 50-60 dps, after that I went for a Small Armor Repairer BPO. Not cap stable with it so I have to pulse it as needed. Now I'm saving for an Incursus BPO. Once I get down to lowsec I want to farm ISK for the module/rig BPOs to properly fit my future Incursus

[@tabarnoucheinterplanetary]

I definitely want to hear regular updates! I'm curious about your plan for acquiring the Vigilant BPC. Just running Serpentis missions until you can afford it in the Loyalty Store? Or are you planning to target sites where it can drop randomly? With the Cynabal BPC, I know that I have both of those options, but also a guaranteed one in the Angel Epic Arc as well as the Malakim Zealot Loyalty store, which I can get LP for by running FW plexes.

[@sir_slimestone3797]

@@tabarnoucheinterplanetary I was unaware the Vigilant BPC was available in LP stores, I was gonna run DEDs over and over until I got it

[@JulianMakes]

Im enjoying your journey. I played Eve a lot a maybe 8years ago, it’s nice to see what’s happening in Eve again. I have a question though… if you can’t buy off players does that mean you can’t buy tech II items? (Also I can’t believe you’ve not had a damage control drop yet!), now back to your video series!

[@tabarnoucheinterplanetary]

Oh yes, T2 items are going to be a white whale for a while!

[@MoD1982]

I really shouldn't watch this while running 4's in a Nightmare, the shield alarms scared the shit out of me lol

[@mrbismarck]

30 DPS! You're ready to take down some POS.

[@Dmitriy1917]

Hello, my last time in EVE was ~12 years ago, so obviously I remember nothing :) Can you recommend some similar (in term of difficulty) end-goal? The rules of the run looks very interesting, but I dont want to repeat yours :)

[@tabarnoucheinterplanetary]

Are you ever in luck. I just posted a whole video answering this exact question last week: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZqnk2ydi9icbq8&lc=Ugx8lSsJxE4Xe6lC_5R4AaABAg
