If you are still reading, and unless you are ready to venture out of HS for data/relic sites, I suggest running low High Sec Combat Signatures, after researching them online, with a frigate/destroyer.

The profits are far larger (occasional 100mil drops), and you will begin to understand some simple (albeit NPC) combat related skills. Its (reasonably) safe, profitable, and helps fund yourself while training combat skills (which is important on your main, no matter what else you plan to do in EVE).

PM me if you want more info. I can provide you with websites that detail the contents of Combat Sigs and Anomalies(and their escalations), as well as advising you on how to best skill/fit and act to fulfill them.


Im still reading :) Its nice to get such welcoming feedback! Eve seems to have a good community and 1 of which I would much like to be apart of :)

I havnt read to much into combat sites just yet, only standard data and relic sites but that will be 2nd on my list if it is to do with exploration :)

Much as with the gameplay, community is an odd duck as well. Seriously devoted veteran players who will go across the systems to help a stranger new to the game. At samr time there are those who love to troll, scam and harass new players. Beauty of eve is that both exist (with some EULA rules) and that as such means if you find the right group to suit you, it is fantastic. My experience working with players who leave or want to leave have one theme. They didnt have that social aspect. Eve is fun, but the social side is what make it great.

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.

Posting in stealth "we don't need to make it easier for newbros by giving them more SP" thread.


I would love to have more skillpoints but not at the cost of enjoying the game...

I have always enjoyed the experience of 'leveling up' in any game that I play and from what I understand with Eve, there is no 'Max Level'... only personal experience to learn from.

This post was merely to ask from experienced players, what the most fun thing to do whilst at a low Skill point bases. Not a post asking for money or skillpoints or anything else other than advice.

I would never ask anything from others other than what is free :) I like to make my own way in the universe.. that counts for RL as well as ingame.

In addition to the other groups mentioned, I want to give a shout out to Red vs Blue. Great group of people, based in high sec (now with easy access to Low Sec), cheap ships, good advice, and generally awesome.

Ive heard that Red v Blue is like a massive war between 2 alliance that is always ongoing, I dont think that would be good for me at the moment. As I can imagine and knowing my luck... Everytime I undock, I would get attacked >_<

Maybe in the future I might dabble with big scale PvP but at the moment I think its best to get to grips with the smaller stuff :)

Thanks for the info tho <3

Sounds like they just play war games, maybe those games are organised so that you might not have any issue undocking.

I'd consider it myself, but it doesn't fit in with my RP.

Unless you're willing to invest at least 3-5 years into this game, I wouldn't get to involve into this game if I were you. If I could go back in time, I'd avoid this game like the plague. Once you've gotten over the steep learning curve, it's over for you, you've now become a victim of Eve. But right now it's not to late for you, you can still be saved from this dreaded disease.

So if you consider yourself a victim of EVE, why are you still here?

Or is it a case of you like being a victim?

Ive watched alot of videos regarding Null sec and it interests me alot but ive been told that It would not be worth my time going to null sec without >10m SP, Is this true?


this is a complete load of utter bollocks. I went to 0.0 with a mighty 4.5m SP. I've never looked back.

I've canvassed the general populace and the majority response is:

Log out for a year and come back after you're done with your skill training.

A decently skilled VNI pilot takes only 6 months to train, 7 months for the Gila, and 8 months for the Ishtar (also known as the Isktar).

Proof positive that the majority response of the general populace is the last thing you should ever turn to for anything even remotely resembling a cogent and knowledgeable answer.

Yes, if you can:

* Fit a Micro Warp Drive
* Fit a Scram
* Follow simple instructions
* Not be a ****

Then you can join in, be useful and learn a lot. The most important thing is to find and join a corp that do a lot of PvP and are friendly.

Of course, you'll still want to train up for bigger ships but don't not fly because you are waiting to sit in a different hull.

Being used as a suicide tackler is a very very niche role that almost no new eve players would enjoy for long. Newer players wants diversity as soon as possible and also to be able to generate isk on their own. So realistically speaking for a new pilot interesting in joining a corp, I'd say the minimum 10 mill SP mark is accurate.

"I'll just pull an arbitrary number out of my ass and say it's the minimum. No one will think it's stupid. No, no one will."

If I, an average player at best, can survive lowsec without support from a large organization, from week 2 until now, a newbie can definitely survive and thrive in null with positive support. Perhaps people saying things like what you are is the real problem.

Well, the 10 million sp thing also has the effect of mitigating alts with nefarious intentions somewhat.

I don't know how true it is now but in the past RvB had a massive problem. Their rules wouldn't allow you to pop a pod, so people would be flying High Grades and +5/6% implant and farming newbies.

You and a couple others in this thread may be the exception to this, but I was speaking from a majority standpoint.
