EVE New Citizens Q&A

Any, it's more about what you know and where you want to be. You could solo in 0.0 space or clown around in high sec, perhaps do FW in low sec. Solo, small group or large fleet. It's all possible. So much rather than saying "what can I do with the skill options that I have atm" you should probably figure out the different forms of pvp and decide which you'd like best or sounds the most interesting, and then simply aim for that.

The test server is a full copy of normal server but for obvious reasons all the action is concentrated in one system really but you can fly around everywhere would you want to. Feel free to try stuff out but do realise that the test server is a bit silly, everyone uses super expensive implants and whatnot, because they can. And then there's the sad people who actually live/pvp there, in a fleet killing solo ppl trying or testing stuff. It's as terrible as it sounds so do use the test server but realise it's not necessarily like TQ at all.

Thanks for the advice Gregor.



That's something I hadn't considered.

well im not sure about standings, i only care for my pirate standings personally. think you need to decide what it is you want to do in the game.

Test server doesn't allow non-consentual pvp so if you get shot on test server, report them.

feel free to come to null where i am and see what its like

ill help you build up your angel cartel standings if you need

its been suggested a few times :(

I am not sure that I understand this question. I'll answer what I think that you are asking.

Eve is not a progression game. You can go anywhere and do anything pretty much from day one. Mostly the limiting factor in Eve is you knowledge of the game. So you can go anywhere in Eve it's not like you need XXX number of skill points to go to low sec or something like that.

I will say that with very low skill points and living in wormhole space you will most likely be reliant on other players for somethings. However day tripping into wormholes that does not really apply I'm more talking living in a specific system. Other than that sure you won't be able to solo a 10 /10 DED site a week into the game but this is a group focused game so you really shouldn't be soloing those anyway even on a 10 year old character.

The test server is pretty much the exact same thing as TQ just not as many people on it. Also both TQ and SiSi only load up systems that are being used however on TQ most systems have someone log in on them within minutes after down time where as in SiSi many systems don't ever have anyone log on all day and therefore won't load all day long. The only significance is that you will sometime see a delay when jumping systems if you are head out away from people.

Other than that there are some different rules on SiSi like I don't think that you are allowed to engage in non-concentual PvP on SiSi.

Worth noting is that if your character has been created since the last mirrior then you might have to ask to have your character mirrored onto the test server. I don't think it's that big of a deal just wanted to note you might have to read up on that.

You don't have to join FW to fight in FW space (one of the better places to find frig pvp).


Don't worry about being so optimal. Pick a mapping that is good for most things you want and then train what you need, not what you are mapped for. Drones are something everyone should train pretty early on and t2 lights will be of use to quite a few frigs. Incursus, Tristan, Tormentor, Breacher, Crucifier....etc.

It's good that you've trained into several races/weapon systems so you can experiment and try different things, but in a close fight the pilot who specialized more into his chosen ship will come out ahead. Once you figure out which ships you enjoy, it's time to start bringing those skills that affect them to 4 or 5.

I think that depends on the person, for instance having the risk of loss won't make me try harder as even without the risk, I'll try to keep the character/ship in one piece.

Small pirate gangs could be a possibility, still looking at Curse for a home base. I'm sure an NPC station there will put me up. Although getting out of the front door could be interesting.

Adrenaline induced heart pounding, doesn't really sound like me. Even one of my nieces a little while back asked me why I never get annoyed. Still that in itself could be interesting, just to see what my reaction is.

Pirate gangs sound like a good plan, although not the easiest entry into the world of spaceship shooting since they tend to gank a few targets then have to run or fight their way out against superior numbers. It will surely prepare you for everything else you choose to do afterwards, it is the "learn quickly or die horribly" way to start PVP.

Well if you are immune to Adrenaline then you are the first to my knowledge, the guys I play with have been around forever and they still get it when the fight turns bad and they escape with 5% hull or something like that.
