EVE New Citizens Q&A

What do you mean military science?

Um, just find a level 1 security agent in a station and run some missions, or open your scanner and hit the "analyze" button and find a cosmic anomaly, and do that. Neither should be difficult with a frigate, though some anomalies, even in high-sec, can put out decent damage. Missions would be a safer bet.

Oh, and don't get discouraged just because you're new. This game has a pretty steep learning curve, but pretty soon things will start to make sense.

And don't avoid pvp, no matter how new you think you are, after you've at least decently familiarized yourself with the interface.

Everything in this game can make you money. Find what you really enjoy than learn how to make money out of it. Also please explain what do you mean by "military science".

Or join a Faction Warfare corporation. Pretty easy to make isk via that way, and can be solo's pretty effectively once you've been taught how to use the directional scanner to look out for potential targets coming into the sites.

That, or like stated above, just start grinding those missions. Be sure to read up on them via EvE Survival before starting, and tailor your resists and damage type to match.

I have a better suggestion. Go make an alt, come back here, post something really cute like:

"Hi guys, I am new to eve. I went to null sec with this ship I worked 3 weeks for to get, a cormorant. I love destroyers, they look so beautiful. Anyway, I went into null sec and then I saw all these flashes and lightnings and red flashing lights and suddenly I was in a space station. All i wanted to do is be free, explore the universe, and now I lost everything, everything I worked so hard to achieve. I am so sad "

good luck

And to add to that, to avoid going flashy, go steal stuff in NPC 0.0. Learn how to survive there and how to spot traps and burn back to gate when things go wrong. Or warp off.

When you dont go flashy, most FCs/people won't target you because they'll hardly notice you are there.

I guess military science (played Star Trek by any chance) would possibly encompass combat/exploration.

As for isk, quick way, is buy (from CCP) and sell (in-game market) PLEX.

If you don't go the PLEX route, then earning isk will be fairly slow to start with, but as the weeks go by your earning potential will increase.

The best way for a new player to start making large amounts of isk quickly is through criminal activities. If you go down the "legitimate" route of mining/industry, PVE, or trade, you will find that your isk-making potential increases slowly. Eventually you will make good isk doing those things after months of slowly training and grinding, but those activities also can get very boring very fast, and the average player quits before he maxes out his earning potential in that way.

Criminal activities, however, often allow you to bypass the grind and jump right into highly profitable activities. The folks above me had a great idea in roaming low and nullsec looking for battlefields to loot. That sounds like great fun and good isk. You will surely lose ships doing it, so keep your fits cheap and you should easily make enough to cover your losses. You can also ninja loot in highsec by scanning down mission runners and stealing their loot. I have easily made 100 million per day and more doing this with very low skills and cheap ships. Don't neglect scamming either. PT Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every day, and plenty of them play EVE. It doesn't even matter how stupid and obvious your scam is, if you are persistent somebody will fall for it.

Wait...you don't like mining and went to mine...

Wrong.

Do what you like, there are plenty of things to do in EVE that are fun and make you ISK.
