EVE New Citizens Q&A

This.

Eve is more than a space shooter. Thats why it is still there though concurence made much better PvP MMOG. I mean - wargaming or war thunder will offer you team or solo PVP without waiting times and even with some serios form of match making. And they can be played for free plus has very agressive advertisment. No wonder EvE lost many players lately, but if you stay - you can build your own home here. Stand and fight, have friends and what to fight for (null soverenity, factional warfare etc). Nothing of this kind can offer shooters like WoT. Summit is an interesting place to keep informed.

But! You will live with the name you've choosen and stare at your awatar a lot. So choose blood race accordingly. Rest can be easely cross-trained.

Dominix with large lasers is the best ship for L4 security missions as long as you do not have skills for Maradeurs. Machariel or Rattlesnake. And ability to swap range immidiately instead of waitng till your ammo reloads is a very nice feature in PvE... there is a way how to help your capacitor ;)

FTFY.

Slathering such lies and wanton debauchery over my word....

Fiend.

I'd just choose which race you prefer, although it sounds like you prefer Amarr.

As for which ships you want to fly, it doesn't really matter as long as you decide very early on as it won't cost you much time learning a different race's line of ships.

You may want to consider pirate ships at that point as well as pirate ships require 2 races ship line skills in frigates, cruisers and battleships.

Once you've done that you can consider what you want to RP as.

At least that is the way I'd approach it.
