EVE New Citizens Q&A

In the past, I've only really used frigates as a stepping stone to cruisers then battlecruisers and battleships.


Considering it's my only character and I have no intention of having a second character to help out.



So I have 24.4 mill sp.

Most of that is to do with frigates although a lot is used on larger ships.

I identified 128 skills which I consider to be used with frigates or for frigates. Possibly a new frigate class which if there is hasn't been included.

Out of those 128, 35 are at lvl 5, 70 at lvl 4 and 23 at lvl 3 (some of those level 3s are in the skill queue atm, plus 10 are just rigging skills).


So I can only really fit and fly frigates or t1 destroyers.


I can't really think of anything as a frigate pilot that's going to make enough isk to cover the losses especially in hostile regions. As I'm in an NPC corp. I'm obviously considering solo activities at this point.

So any ideas?


Edit:

Using combat skills.

Ok thanks, that's something I'll definitely have to look into.

I guess covert-op is the best for that, so that remains a possibility as I can fly those.

Not sure what you're talking about... Mining with a Venture for a couple hours in high sec = enough income to blow up 5-10 frigates.

The trick is not bling'ing a ship that's likely to die a lot.

Mining? People still do that?


Got no mining skills, other than mining at level 2 which was a skill you have at creation. Nearly all the skills trained are combat focused. The 128 I was talking about are combat focused, I include core skills in that. (I actually have 181 skills in total and a lot of those other 53 skill are also combat focused just not frigates).

Although I did the tutorials I didn't learn the non-combat skill books, so can't even fly a venture as I have no need to.

Edit:

I should of made it more clear that it was combat orientated.

I think you've missed my point


You're asking about frigates, and then proceed to tell us about your skill point totals, distributions, etc...and I'm basically asking 'How much experience have you had with them'?


:)

OK Mrs Troll, continue to troll away - I'm trying to help answer your question and I get this.


Besides, is this really a new player's question, if you have 24m SP?

The skills trained were really just background information. That led up to the question.

Which is can frigate pilots make good isk as I couldn't think of anyway of doing it solo.


I've had two good replies and considering both.


Part of the problem with frigates is hold size, also never heard of a frigate doing level 4 missions.

Mining is no good for me, used to mine gave it up when I was running 3 accounts. Problem was I kept falling asleep, that's actually a true fact. Gave it up around 2009.

But, yeah mining is necessary, just something that doesn't really interest me.



PvP is likely to take time but exploration as well as PvP might work. With PvP only it's likely to just drain the resources.

Also FW. And it doesn't matter what ship you fly; can make billions day-trading or scamming in Jita. Frigate or not.

If you wish to stick to frigates, feel free, nothing wrong with it. I would recommend training an industrial to 4, just so you can carry some loot around and facilitate this "making of money."
