EVE New Citizens Q&A

You might try this. Keep the two that are covering the primary skills you are training at the moment. (int/mem for supports or per/wil for ships/gunnery) and sell the other three. That way you have a little spending money and still keep up your training level.

Mr Epeen

First, train Infomorph Psychology up and then join EACS so you can setup some jump clones.

Then once you have several clones, plug in the two implants that help you most with the skills your currently training as suggested previously. Keep the other implants in your hangar until you ready to train skills they'll help.

When you want to pvp, jump into one of the implant free clones. Should pvp happen while your in the clone with the implants installed, and you get podded, you'll only lose two that are plugged in.

Your currently limited to 5 jump clones and they have a 24 hour cool down between use but that is changing

Being as young as your character is, I reckon that the point at which you'll be able to afford the +3s again is probably the same time you'll wish you plugged them in.

Given that you are going for a combat career, I'd plug them in.
The faster skill training will be worth more than some starter cash. Frigates are cheap and you'll have the cash to fly a cruiser before you'll have the skills.

If you'd be going for a trader or industrial career, I'd sell them, as for those professions starting capital is more important.

Income is more important then cash. 50 mil is not a lot in the long run, but if it gets you a head start with a L3 battlecruiser or something that lets you generate additional cash more easily, then sell them. If you're just going to burn it on pvp ships, better to get a jumpclone and plug them in. That 50 mil will dry up very fast.

Hello again, thanks for the advice everyone, soon after this thread I found this formula for the training time ( SP_Needed - Current_SP ) / ( Pri_Attrib + ( Sec_Attrib / 2 ) ) my most skills to level 5 (electronics/engineerings and mechanics would take around 4 days and 10 hours) with the accelerator and implants plugged that would shave off 10-15 hours from each one which would enable me to learn another level or two in that time for other skills.

On the other hand the isk would be a nice start for a more profitable income as Ines Tegator has said, and I have trained my skills for a BC, since it's recommended for lvl 3 missions it would help me in making additional ISK wether by buying a BC for missions or any sort of ISK income activity I would need some additional funds so..

After I read the advice given here, and my hesitance to which aspect of the game I will 'explore' I decided that equipment atm is more beneficial to me than a day less in training time, it will allow me to buy +3 or +4 implants soon enough if I decided to stick to pvp or pve, since I have BC lvl 1 trained it would be a waste to fly a rifter in lvl 2/3 missions which i'm currently doing.

Thank you for the jump clones suggestion will look into it on next login.

edit: I had no idea the accelerator would sell for 200M, until now that is, would have sold it If I knew.

In the "beginning" I used to think, bigger ships have more shield, more armour and can have bigger guns... whoho! Lets go kill something!

But the "problem" is that a bigger ship, is a bigger target and a slower target. So you will start taking more damage.
Then you think that you can add armour plates and all works fine. But repairing more armour requires more time and more capacitor draining. So now you end up warping in, you take a lot of damage. Then you warp out for repairs, slow repairs. Then you warp back into the fight, and repeat this a couple times...

But the worst part is that your bigger guns that does bigger damage, will start missing their targets. Because bigger guns are slower guns that cannot keep up with faster targets. But then you say to yourselves: I shall start targeting them at long range. But since your skills are not yet fully trained, you will soon find yourselves overrun by the enemy. This because the enemy outruns your big guns optimal range. And if you are not equipted with tech 2 guns and tech 2 ammo, you will not be able to destroy the enemi fast enough even if you are able to get in a few good hits.

So the point: it is better to run missions in a well equipted one lvl smaller ship, than a poorer equipted bigger ship.
You know this when you figure that your ship is not worth insuring, because the equiptment fitted cost a lot more than the ship.
