Oh boy.

Really hard game to like. Mostly sitting scared and clueless in some station
watching the skills tick down.

Getting paranoid, angst.

Should do the SoE epic arc but cant even choose a proper ship, cant even fit
any ships. Always picking wrong turrets, tanks or overloading capacitor.

Going for a ride in my IS-7. I know Im feared in that beast, no hustle.


Frigate/Destroyer should help you deal with SOE epic arc just fine until you reach that bastard Dagan. At that point, upsize into cruisers.

As for learning how to fit your ship properly, read the following:

http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Fitting_Guidelines (bottom has links to even more guides)
http://www.isktheguide.com/ (somewhat outdated but the chapter about fitting your ship is still relevant now)

Yes, there's alot of reading to be done here. Eve Online is full of reading. Can't quite get away from that. Good luck out there.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

It is Angst, not angst and you need to find a good corporation. Go to faction warfare, choose a faction, roam with your friends, then start roaming just with a wingman, then go roam alone from time to time. When you roam alone you will be so busy with alt tabbing, checking stats and kill history of potential opponents which involves a ton of multitasking (all people in system to quickly look up), and so forth, if you do this, you will learn a ton, why they fit such modules, how you could make use of them, etc, you start piecing things together. Please, do not be one of those drones that just ctrl-clicks, go join a good FW corp now and get some fun times.

This is your 3rd GD thread along these lines, bro.

Start a blog or take it to New Player forum.
This is getting dangerously close to begging.

I already sent you 5 mil on the 2nd thread.
What else do you want.

Coming from a very "cautious" player, this game can definitely kill your enthusiasm sometimes. But when you start feeling like that, you need to go get yourself killed. Jump in a frigate and go WH hunting and scan down some relic/data sites. Learn to use your D-Scan effectively and have fun sitting on the edge of your seat the entire time.

Expect death, it will happen and you can count on it. This game is designed for it and every player has been through it. It's all about the lessons you take from it.

My recommendation is to find the thing you are most afraid of doing and go do it. You may like the rush it gives you.

You are the vehicle, your ship is the ammunition, don't be afraid to shoot it.

Well. Applied for PH, doin SoE Arc first.

To be honest Hi-sec is a bit boring.
Was tricked in the beginning but as long you are not gankworthy
its like ridin a bus out here.

If you always stay ready you don't have to get ready.

Hi Op, I recommend at least joining the Eve Uni public channel and the newbie help channel. There are plenty of people more than happy to provide you with good advice, ship fits, and all the other things you may need to get started in the game and get over that fear of undocking.

I know the game can be pretty daunting but I promise it's a ton of fun once you get past the initial hurdle of "what the ---- do I do in this sandbox!?!?"

You fit the wrong things because you haven't spent any time figuring out what works. You're not going to be very good at this game if you don't actually get out there and play it.

Hop in a dirt cheap ship, fly into Low, get blown up, repeat. That'll get you used to losing a ship pretty quickly. I know that sounds silly but it worked for me. Still hurts to lose a ship, but you do get used to it.

Also, having a fitted backup ship in dock helps too.
