EVE New Citizens Q&A

Hey all, I decided to come back to Eve and have a toon with like almost 5 million SP. I just logged in and have no idea where I am or where to go lol. Do I :

#1 start a new toon and start the tutorials and waste the 5 million sp i have on this guy or :

#2 Stay with this guy and if I do is there tutorials that I can do over again so I can figure out what to do like mining and exploration tutorials etc...?

#3 How do I see where I am and what is a safe haven to go to where the noobs hang out? I rather navigate my way there and start there again till I get my wits back... Thank you all...


Oh and 1 last thing is exploration fun and good way to make isk? I was thinking of explor , mining, and or hauling. Let me know what ya think. Please keep in mind I am a total noob due to not having played this game since 2012. Thanks...

There are 3 sets of tutorial agents for each race, 12 sets in total and you can do all 12 sets on any character and then repeat them every 3 months. Which is a good way of sorting out your faction standings if you need to. Plus get a bunch of T1 free ships, typically 2 mining frigates, 4 or 5 combat frigates, 1 or 2 Haulers and a Dessies per set.

So no, don't re-roll to do them again. Some of those 5M SP will be useful in what ever career you choose and character age is no longer relevant in the game now that skill injectors exist.

Exploration is one way of making isk and a viable path many new player take.

Is there a respec option and if so should I. Right now I dont even know what I was doing with him when I played lol so I have no idea which path I was going down...

Hello and welcome back to Eve.

Definitely do the Career Agents for the free stuff and to help get reacquainted with the game again.

Don't know what skills you already have trained but make sure you have the Core Fitting skills trained up at least to level 4, then work on maxing them asap. Core Fitting Skills will allow you to easily fit up ships. Don't forget to train up the other main / support skills as well such as specific ship, defense, offense and career oriented skills. Don't just queue up one skill to train multiple levels, queue up multiple skills to train up one level each, that way you'll be able to easily play the game much sooner.

These are listed in alphabetical order only, which skill to train first depends on your specific needs.

*Core Fitting Skills*

Acceleration Control - To maximize Afterburner & MWD speed.
Advanced Weapon Upgrades - To reduce turrets and launchers powergrid need.
Afterburner - To reduce Afterburner duration & capacitor need.
Capacitor Management - To maximize Capacitor.
Capacitor Systems Operation - To maximize capacitor recharge rate.
CPU Management - To maximize CPU.
Electronics Upgrades - To reduce sensors & co-processors CPU requirements.
Energy Grid Upgrades - To reduce power modules CPU requirements.
Evasive Maneuvering - To increase acceleration & agility.
Fuel Conservation - To reduce Afterburner capacitor need.
High Speed Maneuvering - To reduce MWD capacitor need.
Hull Upgrades - To maximize armor.
Mechanics - To maximize structure.
Navigation - To increase ship velocity.
Power Grid Management - To maximize powergrid.
Repair Systems - To operate best armor/hull repair modules.
Shield Management - To maximize shield.
Shield Operation - To maximize shield recharge rate.
Shield Upgrades - To reduce shield upgrades powergrid need.
Spaceship Command - To increase ship agility.
Warp Drive Operation - To reduce capacitor need for warp.
Weapon Upgrades - To reduce turrets and launchers CPU need.


Good luck to you, may you have a long and rewarding career here.

Keep your 5 million skillpoint character; it's about 3 months of training, not something to throw away.

I was going to suggest creating a new character to get the tutorial again, but CCP has removed the actual tutorial, and has only left the career agent missions, which you can do with your current character.

So, you can kinda look at what you've trained so far, and decide whether you want to continue that. It's very likely that you'll need the same "support" skills that you trained before (armor, shields, engineering, electronics, navigation, targeting, etc. - these are universal, everyone needs them). But maybe you don't want to do mining anymore, or you want to go with a different set of ships from a different race.

So the best thing, I think, is to start training what you like to train now, and in a couple months when you're at 6 - 7 million accumulated skill points, you can actually extract the ones you feel are "useless" and inject those points into skills you find useful.

This is the re-spec option. It just doesn't unlock until you're past 5.5 million points trained. And also it follows the skill dependencies and prerequisites for what it will let you remove. But, basically, it's likely that some of your skills will be useful, so you'll only need to extract a few.

So train what you want for a couple months, then look at what you can extract and reuse.

I'd hope fuel.conservation and warp drive operation are the only ones.

They're not the only ones.

These left from the list are all at 4.

Excellent tips from DMC as always... and some skills added to my list lol.

AWU only really needed if you want to fly marauders. Sure, some fits will need the +2% implant instead, but it's not like you can't live without it. Same for other skills.

Only the Epic Arcs can be repeated every 90 days.

He's correct in saying there's 3 sets of Career Agents for each of the 4 major Factions. Each set has 5 Career Agents which means each Faction has 15 Career Agents available. Total amount of Career Agents available is 60.

However each Career Agent can only be completed once in the life of the character.
