So BC is at 5 because when i first started before inferno everyone said i should get it to 5 and destroyers to 5 as fast as possible so i did.

Telling a new player to train BC and destroyer to V is very bad advice. You spend 45+ days training 2 skills for just a very small advantage. Don't get me wrong, when you are experienced you will want them to V anyway but as you are a new player you can do just fine with level 3 or 4.

In those 45+ days you trained 2 skills you could have trained A LOT of support skills to level 3 or 4.

To all the other new players: Don't train anything to lv5 in your first 3 months untill you are really sure you need it.



What about engineering and electronics? Those are pretty safe to put at 5 no matter what you plan on flying

All the information has been super helpful and pretty much solidify the fact that i am not ready. So i have found in Eve there are many ways to do things.

So let me post my noob logic and see if it there is another way to skin it. I have implants(expensive to lose for me) So i asked around and learned about Jump Clones. Jump Clones require you to have a standing of 8.0 with the corp to be able to install them in a station. I ran level 2 missions to increase my standing enough to get level 3 missions, with the assumption that level 3 missions give more standing then level 2. Couldn't do level 3 missions in my incursus and then came here to find out i am not able to do level 3 missions for some time.

Is there a faster or better way to get to a point where i dont lose my implants?

Of course, get someone in your corp who has standing and Fleet up, you will split the rewards. Take a few days, and get a few core skills up, it will not take long. As I pointed out, you really do not need to have every slot filled to do 3's. So, drop down your fitting and go with less.

Edit note, if you are just looking for standing, then you can also get a cheap hauler and do distribution missions.

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

True, you will want them at V but I would give other stuff priority first. Electronics and Engineering take about 5 days to level V.That is not too long even for a new player. (Battlecruiser V takes over a month)

You only lose implants when you lose your escape pod. Getting your ship blown up only results in the loss of your ship.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I dont understand how fleeting up will increase my standing you mean as long as i am in a fleet with someone i get their standing?

Currently the only person in my corp so its kinda moot been looking around but most people dont want new pilots. Even rejected from RvB. I assume its to my low skills and the fear that i am some sort of insidious spy sent to destroy the corps i have applied to.

Yes fleeting up and doing quest splits all the rewards, the storyline you do not get implants but you do get the faction boost.

Well I can tell you from the past, join an active corp. It may take you time, but there are many that will take new people. Scroll thru the recruitment page, you may find a gem. If your goal is PVP, I suggest you search out for OUCH. They take people like you and turn them into blood thirsty pirites!! Yar!!! :) if you are interested in mining, you can shoot us an ap. We do also have people who love mission running, I love mission running!!
