Some questions:

What should I focus on more? Shields and armor? Or weapons?

How can I get the most out of my ship and survive PvP encounters without losing my valuables?

For a noob, how should I outfit my ship to get the most out of it and what should I focus on buying?




Core Fitting Skills alongside Tank & Weapon skills
Core Fitting Skills apply to every single ship you will ever fly, and you only need to learn them once.

In PvP .. expect to die, treat survival as an unexpected bonus.



Some very loose generalisations follow
Look for cross-over within skill sets.
eg
- All 4 factions make use of Drones.
- Amarr & Gallente armour tank.
- Amarr, Gallente & Minmattar use gunnery.
- Mining ships need Core Skills too.

The undock button is actually an "I might explode button, click it to accept"
Space is big, people's ego's are bigger.
A good fight is where you outnumbered the enemy 3 to 1
It's bad if they won.
