EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hi, I've been playing Eve for about two weeks and I absolutely love it! I've managed to work out a lot of things by myself and I feel this question is probably so dumb but for the life of me I can not work it out: I have set a destination and it took me through low sec and i right clicked on the orange square and clicked "avoid this system," which then took me through worse systems. How do I get back to the original route?

Click the A in front of your route display.

Clear avoid list or something should be there


Otherwise this is available from the Map display.

If you are routing through lowsec with the default settings, then there is no other way to get there. There are several "hisec islands" completely surrounded by <0.5 security systems. Beware of these when buying stuff! Set a route to systems you don't recognize before making a purchase! [I've been playing for 4 years, and I ALWAYS set a route to check before buying from a remote station.]

Defaults:
* Prefer safer - stay in 0.5 to 1.0 where possible
* Security Penalty 0.5 (fine tuning = lowest security level to route through)
* Avoid Jita (it is just too busy, and easily gone around)

I recommend adding Rancer to the avoid list, as it is notorious for smartbomb gate camps. I also recommend adding the systems that see a lot of combat, like: Amamake, Old Man Star, Tama. Unless of course you are looking for a fight.

Note that skills that measure distance (remote trade & research) use the current autopilot settings.

Sometimes when doing courier missions you might get an odd one like "deliver to station 26 jumps away", but when you allow a route through lowsec you get something more reasonable like 4 jumps. Hence I trained for a Blockade Runner for those!

First, the Amarr Prorator is a Blockade Runner (BR), so it doesn't need to do MWD/cloak trick, as it can fit a covert cloaking device and warp cloaked. The Impel is the Amarr Deep Space Transport (DST), which would need to do the MWD/cloak trick. The Prorator is the most versatile BR, because of all its low slots. [I hate the bug-like look of the Prorator.]

Be aware that Industrials are still scheduled for "tieracide". No details on ship specific changes has been released yet. [I think a dev may have suggested that all blockade runners may be getting a second high slot.]

Coming in Odyssey June 4, there will be skill changes:
* You only need racial industrial level 1 to pilot all racial tech 1 industrials.
* You only need racial industrial level 3 to pilot all racial tech 1 freighters.
This greatly reduces the time to cross-train other races of Industrials and freighters to about a day or two, so you can't really go wrong here.

In general:
* Cargo Capacity: Caldari > Gallente > Amarr > Minmatar
* Speed & Agility / Jump fuel efficiency: Minmatar > Amarr > Gallente > Caldari
Speed & Agility are most important for AFK travel and blockade runners, but don't matter as much otherwise.

The T2 line requires racial Industrial 5, so one has to consider all the T2 ships before making a decision to train that long. No choice is bad. Amarr is an all-around good choice if you can't decide. I chose Caldari for all my pilots, because of the Charon freighter being the largest capacity, and the Bustard being the toughest DST per m3 of cargo.

Until Odyssey, the Amarr Bestower is the largest low skill T1 Industrial, and is worthwhile to train (takes less than 1 day) even if you plan to use other industrials later: The Humble Bestower. After Odyssey, everyone will probably be in an Iteron V, unless that gets changed.

The Amarr Magnate is the largest capacity frigate, so it is ideal for doing up to level 3 courier missions. Cheap, and faster to train than a BR. All the tech 1 probing frigates have a large cargo (for moon probes), but the Magnate being Amarr also has a lot of low slots that can be used for cargo expansion.

No skill changes for T2 have been announced, that I know of.

As with the rest of tieracide, level 5 is considered specializing and required for T2, which are specialized versions of T1 hulls.

Just reset your destination.
