Hey peeps,

As you can see, Im a new character and currently training some combat skills as advised by a friend.

Could you recommend what there is to do with mediocre skills?

Ive dabbled with security missions but doesnt seem as fun as I thought it might be and mining does not interest me at all. I prefer to be engaged in the game that I play rather than being almost AFK scrolling through YouTube.

Any ideas are welcome <3

Much appreciated :)

1. Leave High Sec
2. Leave the newbie corporation
3. Join a low sec (faction warfare) or null sec corporation

Ive watched alot of videos regarding Null sec and it interests me alot but ive been told that It would not be worth my time going to null sec without >10m SP, Is this true?

If not, could you recommend any newbie friendly corps that I could look into?

Ignore this person. Or, better yet, smack them. Don't get me wrong, SP opens doors for you, but it doesn't take much SP to try something out in some capacity, you're not going to be doing it at peak efficiency, but you can start, learn, and contribute.

There are a few different large groups in Nullsec actively recruiting and teaching newbies (as far as I understand anyway). Brave Newbies have relocated to lowsec, so I'm unsure if they're still active in 0.0, but their whole schtick revolves around helping newbies. Karmafleet I've heard good things about and have enjoyed a few of the lectures they've recorded and posted on youtube. I'm sure there are less known organizations that are newbie friendly as well, a bit of poking around on the forums and in game and you should find one. If the one you end up in isn't to your liking, don't be afraid to drop them and find another group.

Grrr.

Here is a decent skill plan that will get you ready to try different combat roles, PVE and PVP. It's just a base to work from, but it can help if you're feeling a bit lost. Do read the introduction as well.

Deviate to taste. I followed it loosely my first couple months and can recommend it from experience.

Look at:

Karmafleet
Pandemic Horde
Dreddit
Brave newbies

These are all null/low sec pvp corps dedicated to helping newbros.

Eve Uni is an all encompassing corp which teaches newbros various aspects of eve, might be worth a look.

Null Sec rats are pretty tough and you don't like mining. Not sure how you will generate ISK for ships.
You might find Blockade running (remember they can covert jump) and trading quite fun.
Also ask what ever group you join what Plantary Interaction items they need (check that on Youtube) it is a pretty passive income and with the above Blockade runner rather safe.

FTFY.

  1. Expensive.
  2. Seldom has the exact skills to suit you.
  3. Tedious explaining why you are flying cheap stuff and still learning.
  4. ... or expensive losing lots of expensive stuff while falling flat on your face.

you can easily get a tackle, or with the new fleet warp changes coming, train to be a scout or warp to very easily with >10m

anyone who tells you you can not pvp or join in the wars of the bigger alliances with less then 10m sp's is lying to you.

From former training newbs, it depends on the corp. There are leet pvp corps and need lots of ap to be high dps potential, but early pvp support roles are quite sp friendly while being very potent. Only drawback is support skills less functional for solo.

In days of blob sov, this was overlooked but now is underrated. Other than that, everything is open to get started in without much isue. What interests,you?

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

I'm a little over 1mil now, but what I did prior to having 1mil sp was a combination of career agents, sisters of eve epic missions, exploring wormholes, and learning the delicate art of "what not to do when you got to the other side of a hole and there are sivpuls less than 5km away." If you are looking for pvp, the other posters here have made great suggestions. If not, have a stop by the EvE-Scout channel in-game. We're always welcoming of newbies and will gladly teach you how to thrive exploring with little sp.

You can clutter up GD a lot more while you wait for more skill points to train.

Boldly go forth and shoot other players.

This is the best time to do it. You will lose ships, but since the only ones you can fly are dirt cheap, it's no biggie.

Learn PVP through experience while the leaning is relatively inexpensive. Then as you acquire more SP for more expensive ships, you will have the skills to use them instead of just the SP to fly them.
