EVE New Citizens Q&A

I am secretly all of Green Skull. The rest of them just don't know they're my alts.

Back on topic though people, the OP is right, let's not derail this anymore.

OP, you can start PvPing, learning and getting better at it from day one. It is difficult, and punishing to the ego. You will die. You will die often, in silly ways, to silly people, for silly reasons. Whether you stick around to learn how or not depends on how you approach EVE. If you approach this game like other popular MMOs, you likely won't stay long. EVE is different in that it's very honest about who you are in the grand scheme of things when starting out. We all start out as nobodies, trying to learn and defend ourselves against the odds. If you have played many other MMOs, you will have to unlearn a lot of what they taught you. There is very little instant gratification in EVE from a game design perspective. Simply playing EVE doesn't entitle you to success, it's always a struggle.

EVE's learning curve is also (in)famously steep; here are some resources to take a look at regarding PVP specifically.

• For starters, let's cover skill points and bust some myths regarding those from the start. This thread (kudos to Shah) covers the basic principles: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=406047


• This is a great skillplan for a newbie looking to try out a wide variety of combat roles and ship classes at an "ok" SP level fairly quickly. Specialize once you find what you like: http://blog.beyondreality.se/Newbie-skill-plan-2


• This blog is full of information regarding ships, tactics, survival and lifestyle of a lowsec PVPer: http://www.evealtruist.com/p/article-index.html


• How to find the right corp for you. Finding a good group of people to fly with is imperative. EVE is the most social MMO on the market Do not make the mistake of sitting alone and nameless in the default newbie corp: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=331341&find=unread

If I think of more to add, I'll edit this post.

I'm willing to do PvP I just don't want to get kicked out of anywhere
the reason why I think missions are tedious you do the same missions over and over there's a lack of variety there at least when you mine you can watch TV or youtube

Join (M.public Channel) or hop in a combat frigate and test you might in the closest low sec system you can find.

Find out you get a rush from warping into battle, Shoot baddies, Get blown up, Join Fac War, Shoot Baddies with Buddies, WIN!
