EVE New Citizens Q&A

high sec a mammoth, recently i've been able to make about 10 mil a week.

Aah, first thing is mining in a hauler, wont make you much because your yield is so low. Is better to mine in a mining ship and dock up to unload, takes more trips, but it is outweighed per cycle. With industry skills and the higher end actual mining ships, you should be making alot more isk. Of course working with a group, that goes up higher.

Get in a good corp, Eve is best amongst friends

Those above me are right about mining income,

but I personally feel like you skill points are too diversified and that your char is ok at a lot of thing but not really good at something.

I'm less than 1yo and I managed to be in the multi-bilionaire club.

Try to find what you like, and stck to it. Mining, trading, production, missions. all are a good way to make several million per week.

I mined in a retriever for a while and I managed to earn about 30-40 mil per day.

Join a corp that do the same thing you like, they will show you how to be good.

Doing everything means your a mile wide and an inch thick.

Its a better Idea training wise to go on what I call skill training runs. Where you pick a specific goal that you want to achieve and agressively train toward it till your done.

For instance I have an industry alt slightly older then this character but he can do alot. He has perfect mining and refining skills, he has close to perfect trade skills(at least in the trade skills that matter) Has perfect PI skills(which arent hard to get) and has some data core skills.

All of these things were things I didnt train all at once and they certainly werent the first things I went for. First I set my industry alt up to be a damn good mission runner. After that I started branching off into other runs of training that would allow him to make more isk, PI, trade, Data cores, etc. I would always focus on one set of skills till it was maxed out then move on to the next thing. Never all at once.

All of this is done to simply fuel my pvp addiction, high efficiency or not you loose **** or need to upgrade what your flying and that takes isk.

Its almost easier to be a pvp pilot training wise because almost everything you do will be centered around guns, missiles or ship hulls and what ever makes them better.

And yes shooting people in the face is the best. Making isk on my industry alt isnt fun. Its just a means to an end.

So figure out what you want to do, how much it will cost and figure out how you gonna make that moneh.

No wonder why you are making isk in hardcore mode

Kidding aside isk is best made in trading and level 4 missions.

I hope for your sanity that for 11 of those 12 months, EVE existed as a minimized window...

That just sounds painful. If you like enjoy mining, get into a Mining Barge and jet can. Yeah, your can might get stolen/ship might get ganked, but it will be much better than what you're doing now. Bonus: you can still use your Mammoth to pick up the cans before their lifetime expires.

Start trying combat missions, and get into a corp. 10-mill a week from mining in an industrial is probably the most boring profession you can have in the game.

This. Unless you are measuring your success solely by the size of your wallet, as long as you are having fun doing what you do, you're "doing it right".

As far as fighting NPCs goes - what ship are you using? How are you fit? What rats are you up against? Have you taken the missions offered by the combat-related career agents?
