EVE New Citizens Q&A

You get all these rookie training materials, such as civilian afterburne or civilian codebreaker etc.

these things are useless once you have completed training right? its only for the first few introduction missions, and completly useless in the "real" eve world right?

All civilian items work in the wider game except the analyser, codebeaker and salvager.

It's useful to hang on to the others (afterburner, shield booster etc) while your fitting skills are low as you might be able to use them in situations where you are unable to fit anything else.

To use autopilot, set any solarsystem or station as destination and click "A" button left of your capacitor display.

Autopilot will warp you to 15km from next stargate, then fly at maximum speed that 15km before going through stargate. And repeat that until at destination.

Because of that 15km travel autopilot is slower than flying manually (where you can just warp right next to stargate), but in fast ship like frigate/shuttle it isn't that bad. Just remember never to autopilot in expensive ship or with expensive cargo or you will be killed even in highsec.

(If you set station as destination, autopilot will dock to that station. If solarsystem is destination, autopilot will stop once you are in right solarsystem and leave you in space near stargate.)

I got a lot of these starting items and ships

which one of my items can I reprocess/sell and which ones should I keep?

problem solved, can delete this post

there are 2 different types of implants:

Slot 1 - 5 = attribute implants (each attribute has a slot)
Slot 6 - 10 = hardwiring (alters certain things like refining efficiency, Speed boost of MWD, etc.)

You can have 1 in each if you want.

As for cloning:

Actually it is essential to know the very basics of it from Day 1 you play, ergo:

- Always keep your clone updated to your skillpoints
- When you get podded you loose the implants
- When you get podded you need to update your clone straight away.

Adv stuff like jumpclones etc is only needed to know when you are going to use them.

And yet again, most stuff you ask here is all very very good explained on the EVE wiki, so try to search for it there as you will likely find your answer

I'm getting more and more the feeling this is just another troll attempt
But if genuine:

1.) Don't know about shortcuts as I never use them besides the standard 'ctrl' to lock stuff.

2.) You can't learn it because you haven't met the pre-requirements.

EDIT:

Also, EVE isn't a handheld game. You have to find stuff out yourself by looking around and reading stuff.

Okay:

Skilling 101:

1.) Have I met the pre-requirements?
Yes - you can train the skill
No - you first need to train the pre-requirements

2.) Have you bought the skill-book?
Yes - Move to the location of the skill book and inject it.
No - Open the market and buy the skillbook. Then move to its location and inject it.

3.) Have you injected the skill-book?
Yes - Open your skillqueue and add the skill to the queue
No - Move to its location and inject the skill-book. Now open your skillqueue and add the skill.

Hope this helps, this is main thing to look for when you are looking for next skills.

Hold shift, click and drag.



Shield boosters are shield rep modules. If you meant shield extender vs shield booster, that depends on what you're doing. Extender gives you more HP right off the bat, while booster lets you take sustained but low damage over long periods of time.

Also, I would recommend against shield tanking most Gallente ships. They fare better armor tanking (especially the Incursus, which just got a massive tank buff today).
