Title says it all - I created a trial Character 3 years ago, and I now have 753,753 skill points to spend.

I'm a complete rookie to EVE, so if I anyone has some advice on what I should spend them all on, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

It totally depends on what you want to do, but for most palyers I reckon it's cool to have new ships with better guns (this definetly does not mean bigger ships at first, plus frigates may be the coolest ship class in the game if you ask me

being really boring here, use them to expand on your fitting skills.

look up the 'core competency' certificate

work on that

You might not like to hear it but I'd suggest not using them until you are 100% sure of what to use them on, also if you ever find yourself in pvp battle and suddenly you realize you need to get a skill to lvl I and it takes 30mins, you can train it instantly

Sell the char..... unspent skillpoints are worth more then the char itself.... Bear

Thanks for the advice!

I think i might try to focus on those core skills, and maybe save anything I have left.
I'm playing a Gallentean, though - does that make a difference in what i should focus on? For example, I heard that Drones are prominent in Gallentean ships.

I'd like more pointers and advice if you have them. Thanks, guys!

Skill for whatever race you wish. However for PvP purposes, Minmatar or Amarr might be better choice.

And about drones, Light and medium will be needed for any race. Amarr also have few droneboats, like arbitrator, curse and pilgrim. Armageddon, an Amarr BS can hold and field full set of heavy or sentry drones as well.

Spend them on skills with a high training multiplier that you aren't mapped for.
