If I could do Eve all over again...

I think one of my biggest regrets in the game is that I was too ambitious and came too far too fast in the pursuit of acquiring and maintaining wealth & power. I think if I were to do Eve all over again I would have moved much slower into lowsec & nulsec and took my time rather than learning about everything so quickly and thereby losing much of the essence of the great mysteries of the verse.
I would spend more time flying cheap ships and ponder what lies beyond that scary place they call lowsec. The pilots I think I envy most are the ones traversing lowsec & wormholes with their T1 scanning ships running hacking & archeology sites and doing backflips because they've hit the jackpot with a 100mil score. Instead 95% of the time am am wasting away in station attempting to grow my wealth. Ooh I long to be the guy who can afford to lose 3 ships a day but I MUST fly my shiny ships and -10bil a day is not good for maintaining ones wealth.

I know others must have this dilemma or perhaps similar ones.

If you were to start Eve anew how would your playstyle change from what it has become today?

I wouldn't rush to Battleships just because they're bigger and more expensive (which, in any other game, means "better").

Bigger is not always better. Just because you can sit in it, doesn't mean you should sit in it.

I suppose next you'll tell me that the six months I spent ratting in a scorpion was wasted? Pffft...

If i could do Eve all over again, I'd quit, because **** waiting another 2.5 years to train all those skills again.

To be fair though, I'd have a much more efficient skill plan next time around.

Oh god.

This, a million times this. If I had told myself it'd take years before you could fly and do all the things I wanted... I probably would have skipped Eve entirely.

I would have been more focused. Learn to do one or two things well instead of a million things horribly.

My furthest along character in my "on again - off again" play style has about 17 million SP and he can fly almost every races T1 sub cap ship. Poorly.

Hello there, sexy .. may I call you Eve? :D


If I could do EVE all over again, with the exact same realities,
I would not do a certain thing in local with some certain person listening
and copying pretty much everything I said.

Would just carry on that what it is that I do and hope that I meet similar if not same people along the way.

Best asset in Eve is my friends contact's list, could never abandon that and not even for a new start.

Huh, similar. Ratted in a dominix.

Didn't even use a dominix to doneassistfleet, two years later, either. What a pity.

Sold my four year old char last year for PLEX4GOOD.
More people should do that.

It doesn't really hurt that much. At four years of age the minority of people
who have actual brains to use, will have learned that the SP aren't the be all end all of fun or necessity.
