EVE New Citizens Q&A

I've been playing Eve for about a month now and I'm currently have my skills up to Amarr Cruzers. I've been mining with my buddy who has a higher lvl Gallente char and I can do lvl 2 mission. But my understanding of whats the best things to do at my lvl Is what I'm asking for. I'd like to get good enough to pay for my subscription at some point. If you have any adivce for fun or cool things to do in this game at my lvl please hit me up. Thx

Stay out of Jita

I like the wormhole idea, does anyone know a decent corp that run wormholes or live in one... and yes Jita can suck a D lol.

Well, if joining an established corp is important to you, do a recruitment search:

"Corporation" -> "Recruitment" -> "Search" ... Check off "New-Pilot Friendly" and select "Wormhole Space" from "Area of Operations"

But you don't really need to join them tbh. You and your buddy can form your own corp and just jump in the wormholes whenever it is convenient for you.

Search the forums for topics related to "Exploration", "Scouting", and "Wormholes". There are many great threads and guides on these topics.

Train science skills in the area of Astrometric(s) [4 skills] & cloaking [ Electronics ] to start off.

Don't worry about lossing frigs and getting podded (it's part of the fun of exploration).

If you get lost and can't find your way home, use the world map or a website like dotlan.

Always keep your medical clone up-to-date and if your probes find a POS & other players while in the wormhole just GTFO.

Have fun mate, cheers!

Well, everyone told you about wormholes but seem to have skipped your age.

Hate to be the practical dude, you might have first hand pvp experience in WH in frigates or cruisers, but let's be serious, after a month of training, unless you have intense tanking skills or already skilled assault frigates to handle C1/C2 sleepers, there's little to do in a wormhole.

See no offence, but your skills probably aren't that high already and if you only focus on combat, living in a WH will bore you to death soon as sleepers sites don't spawn like missions, there's no agent to chat with to get something to shoot at.
Even in a little corp, if you don't have good mates -when you're online- and can't do various activities like PI, ore/gas harvesting, industry, hauling, etc. you'll end up waitting for the fun.

Eve isn't a game where you can log now and then and have quick fun, unless you join a nullsec blob alliance or you're a vet with plenty options in ships and mods. Eve is rewarding perseverance and commitment, when you invest time into training your toon and learning the ropes, then you can start to really enjoy it, because it's a huge universe with no end-game and best ship, it takes a lot of time to get around most content and you can even play for months without knowing a whole pan of the game.

PvE content isn't really designed to be fun, but to give some ways of making ISK, PvP is where the real fun is and that's where your ISK can go, to replace the ships you lose in fights. After a month of experience, if you can fit good frigates, you can go around and shoot people in low or null, take a dip now and then in WHs, but anywhere, expect to lose many ships, because if you can handle one guy, you never know if he doesn't have backup before they warp on grid and before you get used to studying local in k-space and dscan in w-space, you might often be the prey rather than the predator.

As for training for a Tengu, don't rush into it because fitting a tengu with t1 mods is nothing more than a lol-killmail. You're better off risking a T1 hull when messing around, than an expensive T3, especially if you don't have a reliable ISK income.

It's not about the size of the ship, because bigger usually isn't better in Eve. It's more about the mods you can fit on your ship and your skills in piloting the ship. Having the necessary skills trained to board a hull doesn't make you efficient in it.

There are plenty good wh corps, but until you have around 10mil SP, most won't take you in, because the good ones usually don't live in C1/C2 and a fresh player can't do much in C4-C6 but occasional tackle in pvp (though I wonder if a month old player can web and point down a tengu for long). Besides, in wh, to be able to store your assets in corporate hangars and ship maintenance arrays, the corp has to give you access but that means to most of the assets stored in those already, including assets of others, that means they have to trust you, and it's easy to make a new toon to infiltrate a corp and rob them, so that kind of trust doesn't come easily. Yes, they could set up a "new members" pos with hangar and maintenance bay, but then, you'll still have to find your fun in the WH, and again, with T1 skills for cruisers, it's hard to do anything.

I don't mean to scare you off, but I'm taking your overall experience into account and I think you'd benefit more from finding a good corp that operates in k-space, provides mission support, pvp roams and with a good bunch of members to help you build your Eve and show you the ropes. It may take trials and errors, but once you find a good corp to grow in, it's worth the effort and makes it all much funnier. Maybe you'll be able to motivate wh-roams or even a wh-op after some time within the corp, who knows?

As for funding your account with PLEX, unless you're experienced with trading or run incursions, it will take some time.
