EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hello All,

So i decided i am going to go and train to use a mining barge to help my corp out. however i discovered it is going to take me over 8 days to learn it all. Surely there must be a way i can speed this process up. waiting 8 days for me right now is a major put off

Worth noting that the aforementioned implants and remaps won't change an 8 day training time to a day. Maybe to 7 days. Training takes time, that's a fact of EVE. 8 days is a relatively short training time.

Just wait until you have to wait 60 days level up a new skill.

This is one of the reasons my first visit to New Eden didn't stick.

This is what I've done this time around if I really want to do something that will take multiple days to train.

1. If it is a new sort of skill find something similar to do what I'm doing to make sure it is worth the time invested, that I can do with my current skills

2. Begin training skills necessary to get where I want to be.

3. Do something completely else, not even remotely close to what you're training. EvE has sooooo much to do. You may think "I want to be a miner right now" but may find it dull and find something better that suits your interest. I love mining but this is how I've discovered exploring.

4. If it is something you really want, you'll still want it in 8, 16, 32, 64 days. Insta-gratification is rare in this game.

Really,

You are bothered with 8 days of training.

Damn, that are the short skills for me. Currently waiting on 48 days to pass for my current skill.

EVE is a game of long terms, get used to non instant stuff.

If 8 days worries you your in a lot of trouble later on. I miss the days of such short training plans. People train skills that take months not days. i actually consider anything under 2 weeks as a short skill these days.

Yes it can be sped u with implants etc but that wont affect such a short training plan much, maybe a day with +4s. If you really cant wait train mining frig first and help out with that while you wait for the barge. Venture only takes a few hours to get into and is cheap enough that your make your isk back and probably earn enough in a 8 days to buy the barge you want as well.

I stand corrected on the one day with implants then, but i just guessed rather than do the maths. However +4s and +5s are expensive (for a new player) and point about venture still stands, much faster to learn and cheaper to start with if you cant wait for the barge, lets you get involved with the corp now rather than 5-8 days.

Seen worse....

Character that was bought on forums, in a Rorqual in low-sec, humping the gate and whining in local it didn't let him jump.



I sat there cloaked at the gate considering yelling on comms for some fleet or help the guy.

Eventually helped him (as I can be nice from time to time) as we all made mistakes in our (EVE) life.

This is a very opinionated view, but I think it would be of value to you.

New characters should remap and spread their attributes. Start with removing all the points from charisma and spread it out amoung the other 4 attributes. Next train your cybernetics skill to at least four and then install the +4 implant set (minutes the charisma, unless you train a skill with charisma). This will help set you up for the fastest training of your basic skills, and the majority of your support skills. When enough time has past, you have some money, finish your cybernetrics skill to five and replace your implants with +5s (minutes the charisma unless you are training as skill that uses it). Once you are finished with the basic ships and the majority of all your support skills. Training will start to get more focused. You can then start doing year long focused training on support or ship/weapon skills. When you focus remap you'll train the fastest, but your pretty much locked in place for a year. You end up picking usually between intelligence/memory (which is for support skills, science, industry) and then perception/willpower (ships and weapons). There are a few groups outside of those two, the leadership, drone and navigation skills being the biggest. However when you look at the skill points and where most will end up, the reduced training speeds of those areas are rarely worth a full year long remap. I was lucky enough to have 2 remaps at one point and so I was able to remap for leadership training and some basic marketing then remap again about 9 months later.

sorry for the long wall of text, however this is the way i've manage to keep my sp/hour high and effeciently moving forward in skill/ability progression.

His drone capability would have raped my manticore.

And I rather had him alive at that point so I could go kill him over and over again. If he was that stupid, he likely would make more mistakes in EVE.

So it was either that or kill him once in a juicy ship and have the obvious rage quit after that.
