EVE Echoes' release date is set for spring 2020, but the game is now in open beta and according to feedback, it does the trick. Everything is fine and tidy in this New Eden, parallel to that of EVE Online, of course. The game doesn’t support cross-play, which is perhaps a shame for some old school players. But it also offers many new possibilities and above all allows new players to enter the game. This is the chance to start over, start a new adventure, start over, and if you have the enthusiasm and the will, all you have to do is play it smart and you will have the time of your life.
EVE ECHOES STARTER GUIDE: HOW TO PLAY EVE ECHOES
Learning how to play Eve Echoes is pretty tough. Sure, it has a comprehensive tutorial system, but even then, Eve is a complex game. So here’s some Eve Echoes tips to help you play:
Tutorial: the tutorial system is there for a reason, and provides a great intro to Eve Echoes. The first thing you should do is work methodically through the beginner tutorials, at least, then make your way onto whichever career path you want to pursue
Sidebar: the eye symbol on the right side opens into a bar which allows you to locate and travel to anywhere you need
Market: this is where you sell and buy equipment for ISK. You can place sell orders for a small price. Before you buy equipment, make sure that you can use it by pressing on its name for stats. Also, be aware that you might have to travel to collect it at another station
Power capacitor: every ship has a power capacitor, and everything you equip uses power. When buying equipment, make sure to check you have an adequate power capacitor – this means no missile launchers at the start of the game! A slightly emptier power capacitor also gives you a bit more breathing room, so you don’t run out of power in combat
Pirates: when starting out, heading to anomalies is a good way to earn quick, instant ISK, and helps you buy a new ship faster. Head to small anomalies first, then scout, then medium, then bases. Also don’t worry if you don’t get your bounty ISK straight away, as it appears in your account when you are back in a safe location
Skills: time is XP, as they say, so make sure to click on the skills section, and always have a skill training in the background. You can increase the speed you train and level by purchasing the basic Omega Clone
Encounters: if you want to pursue more narrative-based missions the encounters section gives you a list of available opportunities
Loot: always remember to loot the ships you destroy, as it’s a good way to get free equipment. Tap to open the right sidebar and open the loot tab to see what has dropped post-battle
You’ll need to buy resources or assemble new ships in the game, these activities cannot leave without EVE Echoes ISK - the game currency. ISK is the abbreviated form of the name. It actually means InterStellar Kredits. https://www.igvault.com/EVE-Echoes-ISK is the best place to buy EVE Echoes ISK.
