ive been follow the tutorials and everything has been going fine.. when i went to fit my repair tool and first gun its says i dont have the required skill? do i have to train my gunnery skills for so many hours before i can start shooting things? i hope not :(

Hi, I just did the tutorial myself a few days ago but I can't remember if I needed skills to fit those very basic add-ons. If it says you lack the required skill, then I would guess so.

Good thing is, the very first skills needed only take I believe 3 minutes to learn. if I remember correctly, they went something like this

1st level - 3 minutes
2nd level - 38 minutes
3rd level - 8 hours
4th level - 20 hours

Open up your far left menu and under your players picture, you will see Character Sheet. Click on that and then you sill see Skills. Browse through the skills and find the Gunnery skill for weapons. Armor I think is under Mechanics??? Anyway, once you get there, you can read the descriptions to find the ones you need.

I just went about learning all the very quick skills to get a foundation going. Do at least the first 2 levels on the skills that you need to get you started.

Also, I'm sure other more experienced players will chime in here as well.

Good luck

what gun are you trying to fit?

you SHOULD be fitting small hybrids (railguns or blasters).

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

also, you should be in the same area as me since we are both Gallente. I think I'm at some Acadamy right now which should be your 2nd stop after you finish the main tutorial. I usually play in the evenings during the weekdays 6-9 CST so if that fits your schedule, add me as a buddy.

Unfortunatally, I don't know how to do that just yet haha but I'll try to figure it out.

yeah thanks guys I was on the wrong tutorial my bad.. fitting the rights guns now..

On another point I'm doing the mission to destroy the fuel depot.. its says its in my area and to lock on etc.. I cant see it anywhere? whats the easiest way to highlight/naviagte to mission objectives. there are markers in space but whne highlighted they all seem to be other systmes/areas not the fuel depot. im presuming that its close by after warping as instructed?

Bloody noobs hey lol :)

Is the fuel depot in the same system (check the mission info in your journal) -- you might have to go a system or two over. If you're in the right system, right click in space, and you should have a bookmark to the mission pocket.

if you're already in the mission pocket, easiest way to find the target is by looking in your overview. If you don't see the structure there, there MAY be an acceleration gate that you have to go through (its icon is a double arrow ... kinda like this ">>" )
