FW is 90% Frig/Dessie stuff so it's great for new players. T1 Frigs can farm novice/small for income. Assault frigs can run level 3 and 4 missions(slowly) while also being scary in pvp. A fleet of AFs can tear apart pretty much anything you'll find while roaming low sec and stay mobile while doing it. Interceptors are valuable for every fleet too.

No point in skipping small ships. It's going to take many months to properly train for larger ships either way, so it's better to have lots of options to fly in the mean time rather than just T1 stuff.

People who train all four Frigate skills to level V never regret it. There is a T1 or T2 frigate that's a "mini" version of pretty much every cool ship in the game. And within a couple of months you can open yourself up to all types of T2 frigates for all four races..

I believe this is probably one of the biggest mindsets that needs to be gotten over. I came to Eve from WoW many years ago. I left WoW for a lot of reasons but a big one was because it started feeling like a job. Interviewing with raiding guilds and having to list my qualifications and commit to various playtimes etc.... really seemed more like a job interview than playing a game.

I think here in Eve even though we have corporations that you apply to that you are much better off looking at it like two kids meeting on the playground than applying for a job where you will have duties and need to bring something other than a playful attitude to the table.

Two kids meeting on the playground:
kid 1 "I like swinging on the swing set do you like swinging on the swing set?"
kid 2 "yes I like swinging on the swing set"
kid 1 "cool let's go do that"
kid 2 "awesome then maybe afterwards we could climb on the jungle gym"
kid 1 "great"

Your Eve playing with others should be much more like the two kids convo I made up above here than the job application process. This is a game after all, play around and have fun.

As far as faction warfare I'm not a PvPer but to my understanding you should not be loosing pods in low sec. Have something on your overview that you can click on and warp to quickly and you should be able to get your pod out before they can lock


This is true but i guess u have never met a smart bombing bs on a gate when ur in ur pod. U don't even get to land properly all u see is bright white light.

I guess my point didn't get across. I didn't mean it as a job. But... well, all my life, I've worked in small groups (IRL I mean). Whether it was playing basketball or football. Or actual work. And I found it important that everyone pulls their weight. Sure, maybe in a big corp, that doesn't matter. But for me, if I'm joining a corps, I feel obligated (and in a good way) to pull my weight for the coprs benefit too. I don't see it as a job, but as part of the fun. But yes, even that fun can be a little restrictive in the sense that when you are new, you really need to just... well do idiot things without worrying about anything (or so I've gotten the impression).

Quality over quantity, if you want to raise or maintain a certain quality in the group you will have to have quality control when recruiting. Nothing worse for a group with competitive, performing members to have low effort bozos joining.
