EVE New Citizens Q&A

this is not the most exciting thing to do when you first start out but it worked for me you know all these people brag about level 4 missions when you first start up you can't do the combat missions without somebody else be there with you but The Courier missions give a fairly decent amount of lp


I completed all the career missions for Gallente and Minmatar there's 3 schools for both factions give career missions
the first thing I basically did is search these places down and completed them all

which basically gave me the standings to do missions for the Sisters of Eve

here's the boring part the skills you need to train at the beginning
social
connections
trade
Distribution Connections
Gallente Industrial
Hall upgrades
Jury Rigging
Astronautics Rigging

optional skills but useful skills
Negotiation
Cybernetics
recommended ship
Iteron Mark V with 150000m3 cargo capacity
before you start thinking about even completing your first school get social to level 5

it depends on how you have your attributes setup it can take anywhere from 3 to 7 days

after you're done doing that you should be able to complete all the schools within 4 days depends on how much dedication you have in time

the at this point I recommend getting connections to level 4 and buy Distribution Connections or
you should be able to buy implants that give you + 3 attributes

you should have 5.0 points with the sisters of Eve by this point if not you're probably 4.8 or you might have to do some level 3 Courier missions for the Sisters of Eve every 16 missions you get a storyline mission after completing two you should have the standings you need to do the level 4s
you should be able to fit the ship at this point and have one and the missions give anywhere around 450 LP to 1200

at this point if you like doing missions start training combat skills or some reason you like hauling stuff around then you can start training for a freighter it's not cheap though

this is why I did it for the sisters probe launchers at the time they were selling for 70 million isk they're now selling for 40 million also as well the storyline missions I got were basically hauling cargo around which gave me a +4 Implant I was able to sell or use

how long I think it will take you to get to the point where you can do what I'm doing now 10 to 14 days

I'm sorry if my grammar is terrible I'm using a voice to text program is my writing is very terrible

There is no right way to play this game. If you found a way that is fun for you and you enjoy it then that's all that matters. However if you are going about it this way because you wanted to do it some other way but were finding it too difficult or complicated I suggest to keep trying other paths. This game is very complex and you learn every day and every thing you learn makes the things that seemed difficult last week a bit less difficult this week.

I was trying to find a group was okay with me salvaging their level 4s but I wasn't able to I basically was forced to play by myself that's why I went this route and a lot of people have a problem with my personality that's why I went this route as well

ya lots of us in this game have some difficulties like that, myself included. I think that it's important that you start looking for a player corp early on but not so important that you find one. What I mean is you should be constantly looking around checking out the corps of players in system and checking the recruitment UI and maybe the recruitment forum. Join some public channels and talk to people. But you don't need to be in a hurry to jump into one. Look around for one that feels like a good fit.

"brag" about level 4 missions

hilarious

i remember people like that also,
generally people with a history of other mmo characters whos level they would brag about

- Corps specializing in salvage / loot services for mission runners such as Pro Synergy seem like a decent way for a new player to make an isk. Also I think there is a chat channel that will help you find salvage jobs (Free Wrecks channel I think)

- As was said - one does not [i]have[i/] to ask. Ninja salvaging has been done a lot.

- Some people find it enjoyable to do more unusual salvaging things such as to go into Faction Warfare areas and salvage T2 wrecks from battles

What I did when I started Eve some 75mil SP ago, was train anything that sounded fun or interesting, and not worry about power-gaming Eve.
Some things I trained didn't pan out and I never use those skills anymore, but they are not 'wasted' in the sense that I explored something in the game and learned whether or not I enjoyed it.
