EVE General Discussion

Hi everyone. I recently decided to play EVE and saw an opportunity and bought Core Starter Pack + 4 Add-on pack(Skirmisher, Colonist, Explorer, Industrialist). But im bit confused about the content.

So i made my first char as Gallante, doing tutorial, reading things about game itself to have an idea about whats next. After a while, i remembered that i bought the pack and didnt redeemed it yet. So i logout and went to login screen and i there it was, tons of skill books and clothings and tons of things i have no idea what they are.

After the burning brain smells coming out of my ears i decided to look up some of the content on google and saw that some of the ship blueprints were not for my race.

So the question is: What am i suppose to do with those items, blueprints, skillbooks, command centers, etc.

Can(should?) i redeem all of them to my first char? Should i use all of skillbook, save some of them for future or sell them?

The game itself was overwhelming already since its my first Sandbox and all those items made it worse.

Thanks for all answers already and have a nice day!

If you have ships or items you cannot (yet) use then I'd say keep them for now until you are sure what you want to do. You'll likely find at some point that some are useless to you and then choose to sell them or give to friends.

The only exception I would say at this point is if you have any clothing items from the starter pack that are worth a few million on the Jita market - sell the clothing to get you some ISK to help you get going. Jita is one of the main trade hubs and you can check prices of items you have using sites like http://eve-central.com.

Reedeeming all the items to one character in a hi-sec station somewhere is probably OK unless you are planning to run lots of multiple accounts and have planned specific purposes for them - but given your circumstance this seems unlikely.

EVE is a game about interactions with other people mostly. A lot of people play EVE solo but of those that stay, the majority join a player corporation or perform activity with other players (according to CCP Rise).

EVE is also a game where loss is rife - don't get too precious about anything in game. But get to know people and get some good friendships going and learn who to trust. Ultimately don't trust anyone with anything you don't want to lose.

If you're looking for a starter experience then I can suggest RvB or Eve University. Both are full of new and experienced players and are a good way of getting going even if PVP is not your end goal in the game.

I would forget about them and run the tutorials, then think about them afterwards.

I would also highly recommend that you post nubie questions in the new citizens q&a sub forum as here be trolls.

Thanks for all answers guys. Appreciated.
