EVE New Citizens Q&A

hmmm,

Most of those combat types are PvP so I am assuming you are looking for smaller scale gang on gang conflict.
But more on that in a second.

One thing to note is EvE is not like most mmo's, you can swap roles.

For example I can fly a rifter to trackle, a scimitar to remote rep, a battle ship to pound something into next week or a hulk to mine. When I log in I can grab any of these ships and do that role.

Because you are a "Cloaking Specialist" does not mean that is all you can do. You can have a ship for each task you want to do and use that ship. Think of it as being able to swap your rogue for a warrior just by having more than one set of gear.

Now these roles each have a set of ships that perform that given task and training for a purchasing them does take some time.

based on what you have written hear I would suggest focus on tackle first. It is easy to get into as all you need is a ship and a warp scrambler. Once you have that you can work towards getting ships and skills for the other goals or refining your tackling ships and skills.

Now for what your career is......

Find a corp that does what you want to do.
It is that simple.

I suggest corp involved with
helping newer player(eve uni and others)
Red Vs Blue
Faction warfare corps

since you seem more focused on pvp centered objectives. The corp will teach you all you need to know.


AS for your other questions...

Stealth bombers do fight back for cloaky ships, as do black ops(but black ops are expensive)
but stealthy stuff is mostly against players or to explore without getting shot.

You can create a corp anywhere, but I suggest you join one as the other players will give you advice and help you out.

You can interact with planets and get resources from them, other players will know your there.

You can own space. This is the big deal about 0.0(null sec). Alliances of corporations actually own and control that space. they fight over who controls what and where and there a big maps. Control of an area is called sovereignty. 0.0 is dangerous as anyone can shoot anyone.

these alliance tend to be larger and a small corp of newer players will have a hard time claiming there own space. Fleets of hundreds of ships fly in 0.0 and fight other fleets of hundreds(there are smaller fights but to control sov you need to resist the big fights or have agreements in place with those that can)

Hope this helps.

Oh of course I know its a skill based game and stuff its just that I didn't know which skills I had ot learn in order to go down he path i want to go to.

What you gave me was amazing information but what I was recommended though was that I specialize in something specific. However I didn't know that meant only in combatish situations. I guess more points in combat or ships type stuff is what people were talking about as opposed to combat and then industry and then mining or whatever.

Thats what I'm wonder because I don't want to mess up where I'm putting my skill points right now.

Is it recommended that I just do the military starter missions (all of them) and then if I want to go the path that I mentioned earlier... I just go mostly for the skills on the ships that wil enable me to play my playstyle?

What that means is that you don't end up being unable to fly 4 factions ships even if you got them. Pick one ship (a proper money makes is a good start) and skill it up until you got full T2 gear on it. Boni in eve are multiplicative and thus, all those last levels for each skill end up giving you double performance compare to somebody who can only use meta4 mods.

Wow man! You guys are seriously helpful! Thank you so much!

I was advised to start as a Tackler and then move on to the other stuff that I want to do since it requires very less of me at the beginning.

One more dumb question... can tacklers do good in PvE missions?

I'm asking since this might be the best way I can earn some ISK before I get into the other gritty stuff.

Ahhhhh Ninja Salvaging you mean? :) I'm learning quickly lol

As above;

If your getting into PvP as a tackler, my advice is to stock up on fitted ships.

The most annoying thing about getting popped is putting a new ship back together again so you can go back out. Nip this in the Butt early by keeping 2-3 or more fully fit / loaded tackle frigs ready to go.

These ships don't have to be expensive, just functional if your a tackle so don't worry about having to save up tens of millions to do this.

You'll probably enjoy PvP alot more if a loss only costs you the 30 sec session timer to re-ship.

best of luck out there.
