EVE General Discussion

I'm only asking cause im new and the time it take to train in a skill is insane.

dotn think anyone has all skills to V. at least, not yet. think theres too many....

the only thing turning me away from the game right now is that the game is really just setting up the skill que and logging off. i just want to mine and build, but i gotta wait 2 weeks before i can? this game definitely isn't new player friendly.

You can "mine and build" on day 1 - just do the industry tutorial.

From then on it's just a matter of getting better at mining and building with time.

As far as I know Dr Caymus is the player with the most skillpoints in the game. In a few months he'll reach 200M SP and still have tons of skills not at level 5.

How to play Eve-Online

Do all that you can with the skills that you have.

It'll be about another 10 years before anyone can get there…

Just so you know what you're looking at here:

Corporaton Management — 29 ranks → 7,424,000 SP
Drones — 83 ranks → 21,248,000 SP
Electronics — 76 ranks → 19,456,000 SP
Engineering — 61 ranks → 15,616,000 SP
Gunnery — 178 ranks → 45,568,000 SP
Industry — 95 ranks → 24,320,000 SP
Leadership — 62 ranks → 15,872,000 SP
Mechanics — 137 ranks → 35,072,000 SP
Missiles — 94 ranks → 24,064,000 SP
Navigation — 38 ranks → 9,728,000 SP
Planetary Management — 17 ranks → 4,352,000 SP
Science — 267 ranks → 68,352,000 SP
Social — 20 ranks → 5,120,000 SP
Spaceship Command — 458 ranks → 117,248,000 SP
Subsystems — 20 ranks → 5,120,000 SP
Trade — 35 ranks → 8,960,000 SP

∑ 427,520,000 SP

At current max training speed, that takes 18 years, 27 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 27 seconds to complete (not counting leap years — you can fit four or five in there). …and that's just counting the official skills — not some of the abandoned ones that people have spent time training — and it also assumes you can maintain full speed at all times, which you can't. So in reality, it's both more SP and a slower training speed.

They're also planning to add another 24 ranks to Spaceship Command, which would require another 94 days, 19 hours, 33 minutes and 20 seconds.

Enjoy!

You have the wrong attitude, you are playing this game with the mindset of a Theme Park mmo Player, this is not that type of game. There is no endgame in EvE, this is a sandbox.


I can give you my example, i stopped playing for 1 year and when i returned i Biomassed everything .

I started from zero, fresh start, zero Skill Points.


Knowledge is power in EvE Online, not Skills Points.

My point exactly. If the OP is only logging in to put skills in the queue and waiting until they can jump in the hulk and build using the perfect quantities in the blueprint they're missing out on some vital aspects of the game.

Actually spending some time playing and learning how the game works will be more valuable than just having perfect skills for mining and manufacturing. Perhaps this is why some people find the game so difficult, they focus on just the skills and getting the ships and neglect actually picking up the player experience of the game that goes around all of that. Then they come to the forums surprised and angry when something doesn't go their way. If they'd spent time in EVE figuring things out they probably wouldn't have had such a negative experience and they'd understand what had happened and why.

From what I understand is that overall they add more skills faster than they can be trained. So nobody has them all yet and likely never will.
