EVE New Citizens Q&A

You'll need to elaborate a bit on what this means.

at 3 months I have a problem believing the character is that messed up. Who knows if the 3mil sp you have currently will be useful in the future? better to keep it around than just throw it away. I'd probably stick with playing that character.

There's nothing wrong whatsoever with your corp history.

Try being part of CODE, it's like the gift that keeps on giving.

*scratches head*

I've not even heard of those. I doubt if other have.

Don't worry about skills. Just keep training.

Confirming while none of those corps look particularly good, there is no evidence being in any of those corps will matter one bit to your future in EVE.

Just stick with your character, no need to retrain stuff you already trained.

Focused SP characters are only really important if you plan on selling them for the max amount possible, you don't really need to worry about that until you get addicted and start making more accounts than you need.

Definitely become a miner.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm selling permits at a 10% discount.

There is no reason to ever need a second character in Eve. You cannot 'screw up a character'. You are never restricted as to what you can train, so simply change what it is you are training for and move on. Starting from scratch holds no real benefit, and the basic skills you need for every ship will simply need to be re-trained as well as whatever you decided you should have trained from the start. You will never get back the time you have already invested in training your first toon, and those skills you now deem useless will not have a negative effect on you going forward.

Sec status and such can be repaired. New skills can be trained. Even a bad employment history can be overcome with communication and honesty with a corp recruiter. If anything, think of poor choices made in Eve the same as poor choices made in RL. It's another layer of depth that affects your game play.

In games with a class based system,it's often required to start over to sample other play styles (ie, wizard versus warrior) or to overcome training mistakes to maximize a build. In Eve, there is no class system so it doesn't matter if you have trained something you now consider 'wrong'.

Alaric here is my first, and only active Eve character. He has been (briefly) a care bear, a low sec pirate, and now a null sec PvP line pilot. With a shift in training I could become an industrialist, explorer, ganker, FW hero, or WH resident. Since I can do anything with just one character, there is no reason to have any others.
Many of the most interesting mechanics of Eve revolve around the consequences of that one character existing in a single shard universe. For example as a -10 pirate, I lived in constant danger and my life was honestly restricted like that of an outlaw. Rather than roll an alt to dodge this consequence, I embraced it, played the game according to that, and found it far more interesting that swapping to a 'clean' alt to avoid the fallout of Alaric's actions.

I suggest just sticking with your current character. I don't think you will benefit at all from starting a new one.
