The highly anticipated EVE Echoes<\/em> beta is now live on iOS (via TestFlight<\/a>) and Android (Via Google Play Early Access<\/a>) devices. Diving into the vast world of EVE Online<\/em> can be quite confusing, so we\u2019ve compiled a list of EVE Echoes<\/em> beta tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions that should help you out. <\/span><\/p>\n

How to Sign Up for the EVE Echoes Open Beta<\/span><\/h2>\n

The EVE Echoes<\/em> open beta was announced this October for iOS and Android devices. The beta is currently available to those in <\/span>Australia, USA, Canada, Russia, Europe, South Korea, and New Zealand. If you<\/span> pre-registered for the beta<\/span><\/a>, you should have an email in your inbox instructing you how to download the beta.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"EVE<\/span><\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t pre-register but would still like to participate, you can download EVE Echoes on <\/span>iOS <\/span><\/a>and <\/span>Android<\/span><\/a> right now. If you\u2019re using an iOS device, you\u2019ll need to go to main website to join, as it won\u2019t appear in the app store. If you\u2019re using an Android device, simply search the game in the Play Store. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s New in EVE Echoes?<\/span><\/h2>\n

EVE Echoes<\/em> is pretty similar to that of EVE Online<\/em>, but it does offer players a few unique features that they won\u2019t find on the PC game. For starters, there will be new storyline missions that players can complete, as well as a new market platform known as the Interstellar Trading Center.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, Drones have also been added into the game. Used by all four races, Drones are capable of mining, logistics, and of course, attacking other players. NetEase announced that not only would Drones be available in EVE Echoes<\/em>, but they would also be playing a different role than they did in EVE Online<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eve<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to the game, you don\u2019t really need to worry about Drones right now. Simply focus on figuring out the mechanics as you complete the new pilot tutorial.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will Progress from the EVE Echoes Beta Carry Over to Launch?<\/span><\/h2>\n

During our time at EVE Vegas in October, we were able to get some <\/span>hands on time with Echoes<\/span><\/a> ahead of the beta. During one of our meetings with developers, NetEase confirmed that all data from the beta period will be wiped – meaning it won\u2019t be carried over to the full game.<\/span><\/p>\n

While this may be disappointing for some, the reasoning behind it is pretty straightforward. In the world of EVE<\/em>, the market is created solely by players. Due to the vast nature of the game, veteran players will have a major upper hand over new players and would be able to dominate the market if all data wasn\u2019t wiped.<\/span><\/p>\n

To prevent a giant monopoly from happening, wiping all of the data from the beta will allow for a fair and even playing field when it\u2019s time for the official launch of EVE Echoes<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

If You\u2019re new to EVE, Pay Attention During the Tutorial<\/span><\/h2>\n

Perhaps one of our biggest complaints about Echoes<\/em> during our time with it earlier this year was the lack of a tutorial. It\u2019s nice to see that NetEase and CCP Games listened to some of the feedback we offered and were able to add in a detailed tutorial for \u2018new pilots.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re new to EVE<\/em>, or have been away for a long time, we strongly suggest taking a few minutes to work through the tutorial so that you know how everything works. If at any point you need a refresher, you can revisit the tutorial by tapping the \u201cIntelligent Assistant\u201d<\/em> on the left side of your screen – it\u2019s a glowing yellow circle. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eve<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, we\u2019d also suggest that long time EVE<\/em> players take the time to go through the Echoes<\/em> tutorial, as some controls and AI functions are different that EVE Online<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

EVE Echoes | How to Purchase a Ship?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Purchasing your first ship in EVE Echoes<\/em> can be a little confusing, even for veterans of the franchise. If you\u2019re following along with the new pilot tutorial, you\u2019ll be instructed to go to the market and purchase a ship called Slasher. This part isn\u2019t very hard, but figuring out how to obtain your ship is a totally different story.<\/span><\/p>\n

While you\u2019re purchasing the Slasher, you\u2019ll be prompted to select a destination location. Unfortunately, after you purchase the ship and select a destination, the tutorial gets bugged and won\u2019t deliver your ship. However, developers have stated that if your purchased the Slasher, it\u2019s in the queue to be delivered, but server overloads are causing deliveries to be delayed. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eve<\/span><\/p>\n

You can avoid waiting for your ship delivery by going to pick it up, but odds are you\u2019re ship is in Jita – a location that <\/span>Redditors<\/span><\/a> have warned is filled with bugs that could glitch out your save. So, we don\u2019t suggest traveling to Jita to get your ship.<\/span><\/p>\n

If your ship is in Jita and hasn\u2019t arrived, it seems you\u2019ll just have to wait a bit for your ship to be delivered. Remember, Echoes<\/em> is still in the beta and bugs are bound to appear. Developers have released announcements in the <\/span>Echoes Discord channel<\/span><\/a> acknowledging the Jita and Slasher bugs. They are working on fixes, but note it might take a little bit of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

EVE Echoes | How to Accept and Begin Missions?<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve completed the tutorial, if you\u2019d like to accept a new mission, simply click on the Encounters tab and navigate to the News section. From there you should see new missions and quests that you\u2019ll be able to complete. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Eve<\/span><\/p>\n

However, you might not be able to complete all of the missions right away, as some will require you to purchase items from the Interstellar Trading Center, which may be down due to updates or might not currently have what you need in stock. If you find yourself in this situation, just keep checking back and you\u2019ll likely be able to complete the missions as the beta continues to expand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully our EVE Echoes<\/em> tips and tricks guide has offered some helpful advice to questions that you might have early on in the game. If you have a more detailed question or are encountering a bug, consider visiting <\/span>r\/EveEchoes<\/span><\/a> or the <\/span>official Echoes Discord channel<\/span><\/a> for more help. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
