EVE New Citizens Q&A

Different skill groups require different skills. Drone skills are willpower/memory. As you've noticed, t1 ships and gunnery skills are per/wil. Trade/leadership/corp management skills are CHA/something else. I think t2 ship skills are int/whatever. Many support skills are int/mem.

In general, you should keep things pretty balanced, maybe with a little less charisma than the rest. If you want to optimize, you can plug a skill plan into EveMON and it will tell you the optimal attributes.

If it lists Gallente Frig III as a prerequisite, you need it to hop into the ship. It's good to train that skill up anyway - the ship bonus (you can see it on the description tab of the ship's info page) scales with your ship skill level.




In general people have multiple ships for different stuff they want to do...but for things like mission the catalyst would just be outright superior.

I sent you a message Nate, I've recently been helping out some new players get into the game and find the things they enjoy doing so they can find their particular niche in EVE. If you'd like some help in game, contact me and we can take it from there. Some good advice in this thread to get you started at least.

Finding a noob friendly corp helps out a lot. You get involved with teamwork, and vets will take you under their wing.

Do you mean the tutorial where you need to build a small ship?

Mission only says that you need 2500 m3 space IF you are going to transport that in your cargo - but you don't need to.

Option 1) You can build the ship at agents station so you don't need to move it at all. After ship is built you can finish mission at once.

Option 2) If there are no manufacturing slots available at agents station, you can built that ship elsewhere. When it is built, assemble it, activate it, fly it to agents station, then change to other ship and repackage the ship. Now you have the ship where you need it and can finish the mission.

ahhh. Thanks for that clarification. I'm sure that'll work. I'm still suffering from EVE noobishness.


And quoting noobishness as well it appears.

So I have found my first unstable wormhole.

I went through it.

I traveled to a random planet inside the system.

Security status reads as -1.0

I see no way to get back to the wormhole that I came though! How do I get back?

When I right click it displays only the planets in the local system but not the wormhole that I traveled through to get here.

How do I get back! I'm to much of a noob for nullsec!

*Crossing fingers for a reply before gank*

I am currently accelerating into empty space.

LOL

Thanks for the info. This should be interesting.

I'll try to scan again and find an exit. I can't cloak of course, so its basically a race against time before someone finds me.

That is kind of dumb you have to bookmark it on both sides. I have it bookmarked on the highsec side....but it has to be marked on the nullsec side to? OH well, EVE noob lesson 234297 learned.

Or in other words: When you bookmark wormhole, you are only bookmarking one *end* of wormhole. If you also want to bookmark the other end, you need to do that separately.

That's not a great idea starting out, as you have to get a lot of core skills (skills that affect all ships) and they tend to have intelligence as the primary attribute, and memory tends to be either primary or secondary. Once you have core skills, then you can focus on weapons and ships more (perception and willpower).

Some people try to do both with max perception = intelligence; 24p 24i 17m 17w 17c; but this leaves memory completely uncovered.

I recommend a more general mapping when you don't know what you will be training:

* 23 Intelligence
* 21 Perception
* 21 Memory
* 17 Willpower
* 17 Charisma

You will train nearly everything over 2k / hour with +4 implants, and you don't have to commit yourself to a training plan right away. Once you have all the core skills you could choose to switch to per > will to train more ships and weapons.
