Then buy some faction ships and modules and you are good to go.

It's not the way I would do it, and you can't buy knowledge and experience and they are the things that count more than the ships but don't feel trapped by a never ending skill queue, you always have another option.

But on the other hand: how can you get experience if you´re not allowed to fly 95% of the ships and the ones you can fly perform at 50% of their ability because you don´t have the skills?

One thing I've learned is that any ship is a totally different ship once you have trained the appropriate skills up and can fit t2 modules. Just experience and no SP is no fun either. I don't see a lot of vets biomass their characters because SP don't matter.

Long story short, most of the ships fill a role, hence they are all cool. Well not all, not the Diemost.


I think you'll find the Diemost does, in fact, have a role.

No they don't biomass them but it's very common that they create lower SP alts to pvp with.

Training a typical "+5% per skill level" skill to level IV gets you 96% of the performance you get at level V.

Yeah it needs a web bonus. This is why pirate faction is so many times better.

Your ingame for only a few weeks , you should not be in nullsec simple as that.That's the problem with eve and nullsec these days ...

Hyper gives terrible advice. Moving to 0.0 early is a great idea. There is no reason why a new player with only a few weeks of experience can't participate and have fun in 0.0. Leave empire... move to the real game (which also includes low-sec and WH space).

Define "Cool Ships".

My personal favorite ship is my Hawk, and that only takes a month from you start, until you'll be able to fly it decently. If you want bigger ships, you should go for a Battlecruiser or Battleship. A Drake (Caldari BC) is able to get a Battleship-like Tank and DPS, and have a Cruiser's speed, making it one of the best and most used ships in the game.
