EVE General Discussion

The general misconception is that you need to have to have maxed your skills to be effective at any given activity. But if you do a lot of that atctivity you will get actually good at it while those skills train automaticly, making you even better at the job. But it's your knowledge about it that counts the most.

And heck, everybody that says lowsec pvp-ers don't want food is lying through their teeth. Off course we want to shoot at you. But it's not just to pad the killboards and grief the kids. Shooting at people is an awefully effective method of recruitment and it's a treat to see the same person come back a while later (an hour, a day, a month) better fitted or with a couple of friends.

Actually, I actively played for the first days in EVE, there was always something to try. After a year, I'm sitting on all those SP doing nothing but gaining more...
Sigh.

Three years in, I'm still training needed skills (advanced weapon upgrades 5, to provide that last bit of powergrid to perfect my legion fit). You'll never stop training.

If you plan to fly a drake in L4s, then you'll need to grind standing to get to those missions.

If you plan to PVP in a bomber, do yourself a favor and PVP in cheap frigates first.

Plan a T1 fit for one of those jobs, train to fly it, and get started.

I'm new. I've joined the Eve Uni and I'm mining scordite in the day to day. I usually make 800k+ a load in high sec in my free tutorial Venture. I put up sell orders based on the average price in the area rounded down one dollar and to the zero cents. So, if average price in your area is 26.67, drop it down to 25.00. Every few days ambitious haulers come through and pick it up and you don't have to worry about refining it.

I also used some of the free points CCP has been handing out to skill a few planetary interaction skills. Not much, just enough to get started. I found an okay planet and a somewhat crappy planet and set up two PI installations with earnings from my mining. I'm still getting a feel for it but it gives me something different from mining to work on. I'm just working on getting my factories to produce the right amounts of P1 materials to combine into P2 and then sell them.

In the meantime, I'm working on my basic core cert and some groundwork skills for flying each of the racial lines of ships. Since I don't know for sure what I want to fly, I'm getting weapon/support skills to 3 or 4 for each of the racial lines and playing with the free ships from the tutorials.

I know this last part may not be the most popular attitude, but I decided up-front that my trial period (first six weeks) of skilling would be "regret-free". I'm allowing myself to skill in possibly useless or at least inefficient skills just to try stuff out (like mining, PI, a little hauling, some groundwork skills for manufacturing, etc). It's a slower process this way, but it will let me play what I enjoy.

Interestings posts there , i'm grinding atm standing with a corpo to have a jump clone , since i have the cerebral accelerator for beginner ( wich give +9 everywhere ) i don't want to lose it :)

And yea basicaly my corpo leader is making fun of me beceause it want to FW with few days old char . :)

Anyway , i'm searching a real corporation with active members and noob friendly

Thanks to all of you !

Here's some enlightenment: Lighten up, Francis. This is the interwebz, not the litterbox for shut ins.

What are you even talking about?

Learning skills were removed from the game a long time ago.

If a pilot ever plans to manufacture and/or research it's not hop in a dessie for a PvP roam, it's hitting the missions to build loyalty. For refiners, a good NPC corp is Kaalakiota, as they're scattered all over and near belts. Research, faction navies, especially if making above T2 ships, but other corporations are needed for research on weapons/rigs/ammo and depends on faction (not everything will be in one faction zone, even this you'll specialize in).

It's really a mission grind to get those level 4 researchers, and need like 6.67 standing in addition to Refinery Efficiency V and Metallurgy V to get perfect refining (no waste or taxed), too.

Getting to level 3 missions is pretty fast, but if you're new, the support skills to fly the level 4 missions with a decent ship will lag behind (can go in early, but will burn through a lot of ammo, which will cost). And security missions build loyalty faster (higher gains on security status and standings per mission...just avoid the kill missions relating to other factions if you plan to research a lot, otherwise its a lot of extra work to slip in and build loyalty with -3.0+ faction standings).

If you're not entirely up for PvP, take the slightly more carebear route and do Exploration in Lowsec. Not High, not Null, LOW sec.

You're only investing crapfit Frigates, you can get a decent lump of money once you figure out what you're doing, and you still contend with the dangers of PvP and getting scanned down.

True, true.
