Hello again,

So now I have these skill books. Is it better to inject them or to "train now." What are the pros and cons of either way?

Btw, you all have been extremely helpful, and I thank you all again.



Here is a EVE-University Link about skills and learning, it might be of some help.
By the way, the EVE-University's Wiki, is a good place to get some knowledge and also you can attend their classes or join EVE University itself.
Joining Eve Uni or attending their classes surely makes it a lot easier for you.

Suggestions:

* Ignore the opportunities, they are pointless

* Do the tutorial missions, they give a lot of reputation


The carreer agents missions give also some decent ships and skill books.
A New Bro should do all of them, to get some decent ship equipment for a start.

* As soon as you can fly a cruiser, do the Sisters of Eve epic arc

That's again one of your, sorry, dumbassed assumptions!
You can do that with a T1 destroyer and later on with skills at 4 and/or 5 you can do it even with a Rookie ship.

* Visit the EVE Gate in New Eden

* Write a long letter on 100% cotton stationary to CCP complaining about how skill injectors are ruining the game

* Focus your training, as much as you can, on one race and one weapon type, depending on your personality
passive play, mining, empire building: Amarr, lasers
PVP: Minmatar, projectiles
PVE, solo play: Caldari, missiles
Multirole, fleet play with other people: Gallente, hybrids/drones


Dafug? Really Droidster, stay the "F" out of the New Bro threads, if that crap is all you have to say!

If you "inject" them, it will put them in your brain, and won't interrupt whatever skill you're training now. Then you can open the skill queue and add them to train up in the correct order (or the order you want). You can also queue them up multiple times to train them to level 2, 3 etc.

If you "train now", it will put each one in your brain and start training it right away to level 1, interrupting whatever skill you're training now. Basically they go to the front of the skill training queue. You can still open the skill queue and rearrange them as you wish, though.

I did have a question about doing different agent missions. If I do another faction's or race's agent, will it affect the other race's standings. I did a bunch of Amarrian agents missions, but I started doing a couple Minmatarian agents missions. I have read how Minmatars were once enslaved by that Amarrians many, many years ago, will this detract from the Amarrian standing if I do work for the Minmatar?

Yes? Go on... I'm listening.

yes. This can be mitigated however. When the mission window pops up, it will tell you if the mission pits you against a given faction. You can decline one mission every 4 hours without a standing loss. So if you are doing minmatar missions and it says you will be fighting amarr, you can decline that mission. You will still get a standing loss, but it will be very minor. Blowing up Amarr ships will ruin your faction quickly with Amarr. Just helping Minmatar will too, but not nearly so much.

SOE epic arc can be done once every 3 months, it gives you a choice to buff any of the 4 factions a pretty major boost.

My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

Well, I've put some time in to this game. Influenced the market for the worse (at a detriment to me,) formed fleets with friends and taken out pirates... There is one thing that is confusing me however. How does one make a persistent chat room for friends as now I got a few to start playing? I've made a conversation between us, but when you log off it goes away. How can I make this permanent?

Again, thank you all for your help.

Yes? Go on... I'm listening.

There is a chat bubble in the upper left-hand side of your screen. Click on that you you will see a join and create button. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one does what.

However iirc if you hit join and the channel does not exist it asks you if you want to create it.

You can also set a password so it can be super secret if you want to FYI. You can also with the correct html make a drag/droppable in game link for sharing your channel with others, people can click the link and join automagically instead of typing the name in themselves. You'll mostly see this with people's corporation recruitment adds.

Grrr.

OP, recommend changing the title of your thread to 'Diaries of a Newbro' ;P



But yes, play through the career agents. Some of it is tedious, yes. If you find one you simply can't stomache, then it is your game, you are certainly free to skip it, and go on or look for places to do more of the ones you enjoyed.


I also recommend getting into a player corp soon *TM. This is a social game. Though pick that corp carefully :)

Hah, I just might.

Another question I had...

Can you do multiple agent missions at one time, like overlap them? My friends just joined this game, and I wish to do more of my missions and then the agent missions from their areas. It would be simple if we were one the race and in the same area where I could just help them along. They chose Minmatar, whereas I am Ammarian... One would say they chose unwisely.

Yes? Go on... I'm listening.

as long as you can access/talk to the npc, afaik, you can take missions as many as you want.

though my mission running is limited, ive done a couple with my alt for datacore mining and occasional FW missions with my corpies.

the only issue i can see about this are the locations between the mission agents.

Well, my friend thought is would be hilarious to put a bounty on me. Needless to say, I was none too pleased. I know it is a very minuscule amount to some of those higher bounties I'm seeing other people. but is there a way of removing it barring destruction of my ship?

Lower "level" friends have taken notice, but I warned them that I will destroy them if they tried. However, I would hate to come across someone that would like to collect for a quick buck.

Yes? Go on... I'm listening.

Bounties only pay out 20% of what the death costed you. As far as I know it's never enough to cover the cost of suicide ganking in high sec unless for some reason you're running around in a T2 frigate with high end faction bling. If you're not in high sec the person probably would have killed you anyway even if you didn't have a bounty. Don't worry about it and just enjoy your cool jolly roger icon and wanted stamp.

bounties doesn't make you a legal target in hisec so nobody would waste their time (and isk) just to gank you on that grounds alone. different story if somebody wants you dead, bounty or not he can shoot you. same if you are in lowsec/null/wh, we will shoot you just because you are there, unless you are blue, that's how we welcome and show you our love. :)

You can move to where you friends are and they can move to where you are. You can also run missions together in fleet and share the rewards if you so choose.

Yes you can run multiple missions at once.

Race means nearly nothing starting out. The only time that you would have difficult running missions with a friend is if you had spent time building up faction standing with one of the empire factions to the detriment of two others. Meaning that as you raise one empire faction's standing it's allied faction goes up also and the two opposing factions go down. You can get to a point where you are shoot on sight with those opposing faction's navies.

I could write a threadnaught on mission running and standing, however there are plenty of guides out there and for the question that you are asking here it'd be overkill.

Short answer is yes you can go mission with your friends.

Thank you all for your replies yet again. The "Wanted" avatar is growing on me.

So I'm mucking about with certain ships and I came across the Masteries tab in Info. I've seen it before, but never gave it any thought. What are, how, and why would you level up these mastery levels?

Always...

Mastery levels are a rough guideline for skills and levels useful for this ship and its typical usage. It's not complete and some recommendations are questionable, but it's a good starter for figuring out skills affecting the ship.
