EVE is more complex than DUST. First of all, if it's running slow, you can turn your graphics settings down in the EVE menu (push esc key to access). I'm running EVE quite smoothly on an oldschool Pentium with 6G of RAM and no graphics card (just the built-in Intel one) on the lowest graphics settings except for textures, which I have set to medium. It's not AS pretty, but it's still damn fine to look at.
The next thing you need to do is the tutorials, and career agents, while keeping an ear to the ground for interesting corps. My corp frequents rookie systems looking for new players to train and mould into godkings of EVE quite frequently (that is, the corp this dust mite of mine is a part of, UDHI), so if you're in the game, feel free to throw us an application and be sure to include that "Remiel Pollard sent me" in it. Being part of a corp makes the learning curve easier to tackle, because you can learn from more experienced players. Seriously, I've learned more from UDHI in less than a month than almost a year playing solo could account for. Only thing is, we won't take trial accounts, because we can't be sure you're gonna stick around. So if you sub, go for it.
After that... it's a sandbox. The universe is your oyster. One thing I would recommend, though. Once you get in, be sure to open your character sheet (alt-a), look for certificates in the scroll menu on the left of it, go to cert planner, core skills, and start training Core Competency - Standard ASAP after you've finished training into some of the free skills you get doing career agents. It makes ship fitting a lot simpler.
Also, at the top of the Forums here next to your name, there is the EVE universe drop-down menu that includes the EVE forums. You will have to be subbed or on trial to access them, but make sure you go to the EVE forums and check out the EVE New Citizens Q&A forum. |
