Hello guys,
I ressubed this morning and wanted a few tips to start out again.
I played Eve Online for a time last year with this 25m SP caldari T3 pilot, did L4 missions and a little pvp.

Anyway, I wanted some pointers to get back in the game.
First of all, I'm piloting a T3 caldari cruiser with some faction mods, is suicide ganking in high sec still common ?
Second, can you take a look at my skill sheet and help me out on what I should focus on at the moment before I choose what career path to take ?
Third, is there anything new pve wise since last year ? Are incursions fun or is it the home of ninja looters, suicide gankers and griefers ?
Fourth, I can't remember the name of the app which let me try out fittings offline, what is it ?
Lastly, what's up with Jita and the high kill rate ?

Thanks !

1. If you're flying a Hulk, yes. You'll be fine in the Tengu; just don't autopilot through gates or idle on a busy undock.

2. Post it on EVEBoard.

3. Incursions can be fun to change things up a bit, but since they were nerfed, they're really not worth the bother.

4. EFT.

5. I dunno, it's Jita? Wardecs, suicide ganks, etc.

Your skillsheet looks pretty decent. Without having a specific career path in mind, it's sort've difficult to make any recommendations.

You're training Minmatar Cruiser V now, which is awesome, especially if you wanna do more PvP. You'll wanna grab the Heavy Assault Ships book after you've got that out've the way. The Muninn is great for AHAC gangs, and can fit a pretty beastly tank for running complexes in low/null (you'll need a buddy to provide DPS). Get your armor comps up to IV for this. The Vagabond is mighty sexy for doing the perforating other people's hulls-thing, too.

WH's can get you some nice ISK. You'll wanna find a good corp, though.

For more PvE, there are the combat (the DEDspace complexes mentioned above), hacking, and archaeology sites. You'll want to get your probing skills up a bit further to find those with ease. The better ones will be found in low/null.
