Join EvE university, it takes a few days for the application to go through so fill it out immediatly. That and do ALL THE INTRO MISSIONS, they give you good money and teach you about the basics of the game, do not skip any of them. When you are doing the sisters of eve quests there is one guy who is an absolute *****. When you get to him, his name starts with a D get some help, hopefully someone in a BC will just wtf pwn him for you but 2 frigs can easily take him down (his dps is **** but his tank is damn near unbreakable for a new char)

I would try it, but I'm afraid I'll get addicted like I did to Dust D:

And plus I don't know if my MacBook Air can handle it...

Yeah This^^ and if your corp is part of a notable alliance stick with them(I guess it only counts for people in alliances like Top Men, Test Alliance Please Ignore, PIE's alliance, or any other alliance that has dust side people.)

You may consider joining Brave Newbies Inc. too. Their teaching methods are more... Hands on. Those crazy bastards know how to have fun and they are pretty friendly too, they can show you the ropes. Good luck, fly safe and drop us some orbitals in FW will you? :D

Pointer , dont be Minmatar....

As others said you can go no wrong going to Eve Uni. Once you earn a bit of isk and want to take on meaner targets (other players) I then recommend Agony Unleashed classes. Do not be afraid to die early and die often for the sake of learning lessons.

Also if you love New Eden Lore I will forwarn the following link will probably suck you in.

Dude where you set up. I have a lesson that was passed on to me by my mentor, that I feel I should pass on to you.

u know if u had told me first NOT ONLY would u have had a 21day trial, be in a corp, and have 30 mil spending money...

we could have been space buddies... now i must destroy you.

No it isn't. I CALL DIBS! Join our mining operation :D

send me ur email ill invite u now, then when i get home i'll talk u out of quitting :)

oh yer totally forgot about the plex reward, i guess im paying for ur first month after ur trial runs out aswell

https://secure.eveonline.com/trial/?invc=cf203696-4d5d-455f-9021-04077a116b87&action=buddy

there's a link for a 21 day trial if anyone else wants in, we'll work something out individually for the plex rewards.
the 30 mil is wat my corp pays for a recruit, meaning if u want to be a full time recruiter you can make a pretty sweet living
but thats not my thing, i just wana help some new players have some fun.

we are NEXUS FLEET, we own space, we pwn face, we replace your pvp ships, and help u earn mega isk, but most importantly we talk you down of the ledge and have friendly guidance counsellors to talk you through your greiving period following your first big loss.

see yall soon :)

So what did you think of EVE?

so your reading templar one, hmmm.

***SPOILER ALERT***
the empress...

and thats all i know.

lol Omen?

SHE DOES BELIEVE IN GOD!!!

AND SHE IS THEIR EMPRESS!!!

i understand the other stuff and what not. The drugs, the sex addiction, the split personality and the spiral into insanity is all cool with me. But if your tryng to convert others into your holy empire and don't believe in god yourself then that sems to be a problem. Why haven't the amar replaced her again?

"I was a slave and I like Freedom" (Minmatar)

You still haven't given us your thoughts on EVE...

LOLLOLLOL!

Ultramarines in EVE! Na on a serious note buddy good luck, dont expect rewards to come easy or fast. A year into EVE and you are still considered by most to be a noob.

I played for about 4 years before I took a break to play dust. I still felt like I only ever got half way to where I wanted to be. (I.E Supers and other things)

I bestow upon you your 1000th like.

Indeed.
Once upon a time you did the same to me in a certain threadnaught.
Funny, that's responsible for nearly a thousand of my likes on its own atm.

mail me your eve character name in-game (i.e. i won't be back in this thread lol) if you need some starting isk. mining or missioning early on to pay for skill books is boring.

[Edit: The rest of you scamming bastards... above pplies to OP only ]

Yes, your capsule can be destroyed but in empire space anyone not at war with you would take a security hit. Of course that doesn't stop some of them.

If your capsule gets destroyed, you will wake up inside the station where your clone is. Make sure your clone is up to date. So if you have 5m SP, you should get a clone that covers at least 5m SP. You'll have to pay for it.

The tutorials aren't bad if you just start out. Try to upgrade to a frigate as fast as you can.

2 more tips:

1) Specialise! There are no respecs. Focus on basic support skills (engineering, etc.) and then specialise in one area first before branching out.

2) Find a good corporation. There is a recruitment forum on EVE's website. Being in a good corp makes life A LOT easier and the game more interesting. You can join corp PVP gangs even in smaller ships from the start

yer sure, ill just walk you through the entire eve experience via the dust forums...

get ur character in -u- pub, and stop being a loner, me and wraith are waiting for you :)

would it help if i told u our nullsec home was a rusty old minmatar station (with a strip club ofcourse ), i wouldnt mind doing sum more minmatar fw that was fun.

I walked through a gate camp couple of days ago, I hope you are familiar with them, the only thing that saved me was they were all in Dessies, cruisers, or smaller, and I was passing through in a battleship..... One guy managed to scram me, I neuted him so fast he couldn't hold me for long.

see the problem with hisec is that u think ur safe, if someone wants u dead they can still kill u they'll just lose the ship theyre flying, thats all. also u dont know who is freindly and who's a threat untill its too late.

out in nullsec however...

if it aint blue ...pew pew.
