Ships & Modules

Can you? Possibly
Should you? No

You won't be able to use any battleship effectively with that low of skillpoints. I have nearly double that much in armor skills alone. Gallente battleship V by itself is 2 million skillpoints, just to put things into perspective.

level 5 skills is not a good way to measure perspective.

However what has been said is still correct, 1.8mil sp will mean you can barely fly a battleship at even level 3 with t1 tank, guns and supports.

Which means boom boom very quickly

I just want to know how to start my skill tranning

Get a passive tanked drake. Its cheap, not that skill intensive and works well enough for a young pilot like yourself.


If you want a place to mission with others and get help join my corp. We are recruiting at the moment and specialize in helping out new players learn this complex game.

Hit me up in game.

thanks u very much but all if ur are war dect I cant afford to lose my Noctis,workin as a salvager until I get my skillz ready for lvl 4 mission

How are your standings? You should know that you need to be at 5.0 or the level 4 agents wont even talk to you. if you did the tutorial missions you should have access to level 2 combat missions. You should go do those in a crusier/battlercruser:

1) to build your standings
2) to gain actual mission running experience. make your mistakes while its cheap!
3) do it in the crusier/battlecrusier thats closset to what you want to fly. So ratllesnake? use a drake or vexor. If rail vindi? use a Moa or a Thorax depending if you plan to shield or armor tank. Blaster vindi in their face melting them with pure damage? get a vigilant.

heres 2 links if you don't already have them

The easiest way to tell what style you prefer, stand off missiles? let the drones kill stuff while you watch? long range sniping? brawling at point blank range? well easiest way is to go try it. You can try every style in the lev missions with low skills and find out what you like.

I know the feeling and temptation but I lost my first battleship so quickly that I had to reconsider that idea. Just fly the Drake, she is very forgiving aand tanks a lot.

If you have trouble killing some NPC battlships, you need to clear the smaller ones first and when there is nothing else left, you need to get closer to that one.

Just a month old and you're trying to fly a Vindi......... Forget It!

The rats in Lev 4's would just laugh at you while killing your 800mill Vindi within the second or third wave of a mission like Blockade.

The absolute best ship for a new pilot to train for is the Gila. Can do all level 4's with just the medium drones alone and would only take you about 3 months to train. If you need a skill list queue on what to train for then holla back.

I'd suggest you look for a newbie friendly nullsec corp and make the short train into a Vexor Navy Issue.

Karmafleet, Pandemic Horde or EvE University, amongst others, would all be able to give you a huge helping hand.


buy whichever you think will make the better killmail. You will lose that expensive toy in very short order without the basic core skills to make it work.

Seriously, I have a 16m SP alt who is aiming at flying battleships. That alt will have another ~7 months training before undocking in anything other than a ratting VNI or an Epithal.
