All that said.... It's still a good suggestionSmile

Honestly, it's not as bad as the wall of text makes it look or those folk in the starter corp chat say.

Try it, know what's coming, and you will have already started to break from the herd :)

Be aware that you may need help on the penultimate mission, it can be hard on newer players; which is by design. If you find that to be the case put a shout out in local, someone will generally respond as most of us have been there in the past.

I've seen everything from newbies in frigates to older players in battleships and the like respond to a call for help with that mission.

OP will have enough money to buy a cruiser before Dagan.
Missions give good rewards. I advise to be prepared before Chasing Shadow mission which a battlecruiser will drain cap. Two missions before Dagan

I would actually say that "teach players to ask for help in local" is actually the intended lesson of Dagan. Pop off a request in Arnon and you'll get plenty of volunteers, usually. A lot of us from the old days when it was damned near impossible instead of just annoying have some... strong personal feelings about that ******* NPC.

Yeah, but will a new-bro be able to fit a cruiser properly by the time they make it to that group of missions? I personally would advise against buying a cruiser until you can fit it properly.

Also a T1 fit cruiser runs around what, 20m-30m depending on the ship. This would cost a substantial amount of ISK that a new bro would have amassed up to this point in the mission chain.

Do something that makes someone vow to seek revenge against you.

I used to love that when I was new.

don't settle for mining in high-sec or just missions..

get in a cheap ship, and go all the way to null-sec, roam around, then try to get back!

try exploration, astrometrics level 4, hacking and archaeology to level 4, too. lookup a fit for an exploration frigate, put just warp-core-stabilizers in the low-slots. this should cost less than 1mil isk. try your hand in high-sec systems, then go to low-sec FW systems, you will find a lot of data and relic sites there, most people in FW-systems are interested just in FW. also go into a wormhole, learn about safe-spots and d-scan, become the d-scan paranoid that you know you are. this is a bit of a solo path, and it may become boring.

if you are more into PVP, enlist in a FW corporation, you will meet some people there, you will get advice on skills to train and fits to use, you will plan fights together, you will become involved in group pvp.

you will probably get killed, but some people are nice and talk to the newbs they have just killed, they give advice, sometimes even isk to compensate for your ship and your precious +2 implants.

whatever you do, don't play only solo and/or high-sec stuff
