Depends on what type of ships you want to fly and the weapon styles often people use long range weapons in pve. Being Caldari I assume you want thier ships so frig wise kestrel or Merlin. The first is missiles the second is rail. Both are shield and great kiting ships.

Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up. Pub Channel: Lost Souls Trading Post

Combat sites require probing so you need to train Astronometrics and 3 other related skills to be able to use probe launcher and probes. Besides that it's all core skills as usual + specific for ship and weapon system you will choose. There is no magic bullet here but it's no brain surgery either to find all you need to know. Start with checking Ships & Modules / Skills / Missions & Complexes subforums for relevant info.

Also keep in mind that though some skills overlap and are useful for both,

PvE is NOT PvP. The setup of ships needed are different, the engagements are different, etc. etc.

If you mean a skill plan for a new character, Tippia has made such a plan.

There is a link at post #6 in this thread : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3413463#post3413463

Check out this site which has tons of info on the different ships from a PvP perspective. Getting a bit old, but most of the info is still good and it should help you pick out a ship that interests you.

Tippia's Newbie Skill Plan 2.2: Kronos Edition


I'm not really a fan of that skill plan at all. It assumes too many things and makes choices for newbies without explaining to them that they are just that; choices.

Yes, yes I am. Thanks for noticing.
