EVE New Citizens Q&A

Find other like minded newbs about your same level and mission with them.

As for the battleship I expect you meant the domi, the three Gallente BSes are
Dominix (the drones one)
Megathron
Hyperion

For incursions though I'd suggest moving out of drone boats as I'd imagine the drones will get shot at a lot cause the NPCs change targets. A well fitted megathron might be able to do fine in an incursion as a sniper. In the mean time though keep missioning to make some money and take the time it takes for you to train up to a BS or BC to learn more about the game and your preferred professions.

You might also be able to get into high sec exploration as the combat sites will be very close to missions but you have to scan out the sites to get there. The pay off however is sometimes deadspace items or T2 salvage. It doesn't take very long to train to use a codebreaker and an analyzer so you could take advantage of Radar and Mag sites too.

The Myrm is perfectly suited to this as it can run a decent tank while also carrying around some of those utility modules while still doing decent dmg cause all of it is in the drones. And since its in drones you can switch out the dmg types depending on which space you live in ^^

for your 'off-days' when the idea of running another mission moves your mouse towards the quit button:

Hop into a small atron frigate with a probe launcher and a MWD. Possibly even a cloak if you really want to.

head straight into Low-sec and start making bookmarks - safes, Gate Tacticals, Insta-undocks, Pounce points etc.

You can use the probe launcher to find some cosmic sigs that will allow you to warp to something off the plane of the system when all the celestials are practically on the same one.

Spend your down time doing this and you'll both be creating useful bookmarks for your future PvP and exploration needs and in addition you will probably find yourself getting a bit more aclimated to Lowsec.

Fast and nimble frigates will get you through most camps. In the event you run into the one with the triple Sebo'd recons with instalock artycanes....... its only an atron.

When that happens, buy another atron and try again.

There are many things to practice such as D-scan usage, finding targets, using the system map to find / or avoid hotspots, even the MWD + Cloak trick takes a few tries to get comfortable with.

Even getting used to running gatecamps will pay for itself a million times over. It becomes pretty mundane after a while if you don't load grid to see 100 flashies and a bubble.


Tl;Dr - when you got nothing more pressing to do try to go out and survive a bit. It will come back in spades.

THIS! Add to it some creativity and out of the box thinking. This is a sandbox. Do what you want.
Lately the PVP aspects have been promoted (by players) to no end. But perhaps you're more like a postcard designer wants to sell his latest creations for ISK? There is room for that, even.

In EVE, with various toons, I have been a diplomat, a trainer, some nasty things, some good guys, a video editor for hire, etc. pp..

Pew pew is nice, but do whatever you feel is kewl... And there are MANY ways to have fun and get rich and be - or feel - succesful in EVE. Your playstyle = correct playstyle.

The hardest challenge is to find your own way. Somewhat like RL. ;)

(let me add I like pew-pew... But that is not all EVE has to offer... Nope...))

That's a good enough question for someone to put the answer in his sig.
