EVE General Discussion

dont bother with ewar train t2 guns as fast as possible

Gallente specific EWAR (Sensor dampeners) are a very niche area of PvP. They are rarely used except in large fleet fights with long ranged weaponry. They're also pretty useful on a Stealth Bomber. Now, I am not saying they are useless. In certain circumstances they mean the life or death for certain fleet set ups. It's just that those set ups a used very rarely these days.

Other than that though, I can't help but feel you will end up training yourself into a corner where it's difficult for you to apply your skills. The way you train depends deeply on what you want to spend your time doing on Eve. As a rule of thumb though, if you want to PvP you need to first find someone to give you some basic fits (ie, a decent frigate and a decent cruiser fit for PvP) and then train to be able to use those efficiently. Don't shrug off the abilities of a cruiser. They are not Battlecruisers or Battleships, but I have killed both of those using a single cruiser.

If you need any further help, feel free to hit me up in game and have a chat.

Edit: Also, T2 guns are a waste of training time for a new character. Ignore the first post under yours. Wait until the rest of your skills are pretty good before moving onto T2 weapons.

Highly skilled and capable E-war pilots are always welcome in a fleet, however it does limit you in terms of solo PVP.

Start training for Frigates, cepters, ass frigs, etc. Learn to use the D-scan and report intel in a legible manor. A skilled cepter pilot is always welcome in a fleet and can also do solo stuff if he picks his engagements correctly. Plus t2 small guns will be relatively quick to train for, then focus on your general skills. (electronic warfare, PWG/CPU, gunnery support skills, shield/armor skills). If you get the e-war bug, jump in an e-war frig.

Then take the short step up to dessies and then a dictor.

Many corps will keep a good scout stocked with cepters/dictors because it's a very important role and good ones are hard to come by.

Is there a way to link my current skill as I'm 90% sure all my 1x skills are at iv currently and would probably give you all a decent view into where I am at and what would be best direction to go, as stated above though if it is a real niche thing I might give it a miss.

Please note that ECM pilots usually are priority targets in every fleet fight, being an ECM pilot often means being dead within the first few seconds of a battle.
Flying nothing but ECM ships might turn into a very frustrating thing, so you should fly "regular" combat ships from time to time to keep yourself motivated.
A demotivated player quits the game and is thus no longer of use for his corp. That's why motivation is crucial for a corp's success.

I would recommend to join a player corp that has enough experienced players to help you getting the best possible start in eve.
There are a bunch of very popular newbie friendly corps around, most notable EVE-Uni, but also Goons and TEST like newbies a lot and can teach you everything you ever wanted to know about this game.
You could also join RvB, we have a "noobfleet" section especially for new players like you and our open door policy means that you can join or leave any time you want without tedious application procedures.

as long as you are capable of following simple instructions it is difficult for you to do anything but add value to a fleet.

if you can't......then your already at the same level as 90% of eve.
