I don't understand what you don't understand That you can't drive a F1 racer without knowing a lot about driving cars? It's the same in EVE, to fly "cool stuff" you need knowledge (skills). To fly them well (*), you need to know tactics, have high support skills etc - this takes a bit of time. And time is something that EVE takes.
Meanwhile there are "cool stuff" to fly without too much time, get a tackling frig (Rifter) and go pew in a small gang as a tackler. My combat character has one for frig roams, even if she can fly carriers (horrendously bad still, but anyway) or T2 cruisers.
Rifter 3x150/200mm autocannon 1x warp scrambler 1x stasis web 1x Cold Jet 1x Damage Control 1x Small armor repair 1x 100mm X plates
There go tackle **** and have fun pewing ... The obvious progression from there is an assault frig, Wolf or Jaguar is lots of fun and a really good isk-damage ratio.
(*) What happens if you rush into things, and for lols, go lookup Stokar on eve-kill or battleclinic. You honestly don't want to look like that ... |

OP... please define "cool ships."
I personally find my Vexor to be a "cool ship" and it doesn't take too long to get into it.
More than that...
- bigger ships =/= better - more expensive =/= better - T2 =/= better
Each ship has a "specialty" (i.e. it is good at something and bad at other things) and more expensive stuff only brings in nominal advantages against basic T1 stuff. "Just because I seem like an idiot, doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown |

basicly eve's idea is to force you to wait to get better. it's a great way to hold on to it's players, because they ALWAYS have something to look foward to. it's a way of saying, no you cannot grind monsters for 20 hours straight and zoom to high level, you must pay 15 dollers per month, and in return we will give you 4-5 million exp. If you want to fly the super cool ships, you are going to need to play for at least a couple months, which means you will have to give us more money |

Small generally equates to short training times. Start with the T1 frigates and push for T2 and the faction pirate versions if you want the quickest route to 'cool'. Personally i'd make sure I can fly a BC first. They are more versatile isk makers |

The sad thing is the older player you become you realise you don't need to fly the shiny ships anymore, I spend most of my time in frigates or cheap bc's now.
ou can do alot worse that getting in a rifter and causing havoc. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

Signal11th is right.
Before I was drooling about the t2 and t3 ships, dreaming the day I could fly them.
Nowaday when I can fly virtually anything I find myself going "THORAX **** YEA!!!" or "OH YEA HURRICANE!!!". Ships you can fly decently within a month of playing... Disclaimer: I do not actually play this game, I just forum warrior. |

Is that because the ship is super cheap, and you don't have to worry about losing it, or because you genuinely prefer flying the newer ship because it's better in so any ways? |

There's cool ships in every class if you know where to look. I started amarr, then minmatar, then caldari and now Gallente - just dabbling. I settled on Gallente eventually.
Frigs: Tristan, Incursus (JOUSTING SNOWMOBILE FTW) Cruisers: Thorax, Vexor (it's got a huge smiley face on the front!) Battle Cruisers: Myrmidon ! Battleship (Sexy Megathron!)
So there's something cool to fly from Frig upwards - and that's just some of the T1 ships. You don't have to wait for cool stuff - there's cool ships in all the lines to fly :P |

Sure, you can go to null sec as 2 day old char, but yes, those big nasty NPC battleships are not something you can take on. PVE wise, you'll have to learn to walk before you can run.
PVP now that's a different story...
The 2 day old trial toon in a rifter with tech 1 mods is a threat, a much bigger threat than those 2 day old players realise. Simply because You are There, you have a point, you have a web, and you even have a little bit of pew pew to add to the general pew pew pile.
Why are people always yelling about the rifter? A) it looks cool B) it's fast C) it can tackle/web and still have a little buffer D) it's cheap. E) It's just a plain cool ship.
Our alliance has litterally hundreds of spare pre-fit tech 1 rifters lieing around in our offices. If there's PvP to be done, and there's a heavy CTA where our non-pvp people are also called to help out, we open the armoury and hand those out for free.
You might think you're useless in that 100man fleet with a ton of battleships doing tons of DPS, but you're not. You're there, and you have a point, that means that you are one of the reasons those big nasty ships CAN bring down the enemy, and they can't escape before they kill YOU. Sure they can try and kill all those big scary battleships, but by the time they've eaten through those, most of their ships will be dead, because they can't escape, because YOU are there. So yes, on that battlefield, that itty bitty rifter with a 2 day old toon is effectively a BIGGER THREAT than 10 of those big scary battleships doing oodles of damage.
Early on in Eve, I realised that there's always people aroudn with those massive gun skills to do the DPS. But the reason they can is because the rest of the fleet is there to support them.
Without Tacklers, their enemy will escape before they can finish them off
Without Ewar, their logisitcs is free to keep them alive, and their ewar is free to shut you down.
Without Logistics, the big scary pew pew ships of the enemy will eat your big shiny pew pew ship.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you don't understand?
If your corpmates don't understand the power of a new pilot in a Frigate, then yes, it's a bad corporation.
As an FC i love noobies in rifters, cuz I have every reason to throw them out and get them scouting and looking for targets for me when the pilots in bigger ships simply aren't capable of doing it, and generally want to be in the big ship that they spent "months" "learning" to fly.
You will most often find me in a frigate, faction frigate or assault frigate.
If Frigates aren't your thing you can get into Electronic Warfare cruisers in less than a week - Blackbird, Arbitrator are highly recommended.
You won't be "Awesome" but that's a lie anyways. I know players with 100M Skillpoints that are crap at PVP - I'd throw some of my newest pilots at them that I've trained.
It has nothing to do with your skillpoints and everything to do with you. That's a statement that most new players to EVE don't understand, have an impossible time trying to understand. NOSTRO AURUM NON EST AURUM VULGI |

Often it's because you can actually get a fight in a T1 cruiser/BC, whereas people will avoid that "obvious bait" Proteus. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

Ishtar is a cool ship. I pvp-¦ed a thrasher intruding "our" wormhole. Than my Gf pulled the plug, because she wanted to go out. When i came back to the game several minutes later, i found myself in cloning station, and suddenly felt that my Ishtar was not so cool anymore.

All great advice - working up from frigs is definitely the way to go if you want to learn properly and be a well rounded combat pilot. It takes some time to get up to bigger stuff but all the time you will be learning the essential skills that will allow you to stay alive in the bigger, more expensive stuff that hurts more to lose. As others have said, a well flown rifter is always in demand in fleets, be it for scouting, tackling or skirmishing.
BUT there is always another way in Eve. If you want to fly the cool stuff fast, take some of your real money and buy PLEX, covert that PLEX into isk by selling your PLEX on the market then visit the character bazaar on these forums and buy a kick arse combat pilot. Then buy some faction ships and modules and you are good to go.
It's not the way I would do it, and you can't buy knowledge and experience and they are the things that count more than the ships but don't feel trapped by a never ending skill queue, you always have another option. |

EVE is about what you KNOW and knowledge does not come with SP or from ingame age, it comes from putting in the effort to learn and broaden your horizon. Many players who've been around for a long time, fly big & expensive ships are entirely clueless on the game. The majority of 0.0 dwellers (even those who are in fleets) have no real clue at all, all they're good at is following orders and most of the times not even that.
Being good comes from learning and practising, NOT from flying expensive ships and bawwing about how some expensive ship you can't fly yet would be "awesome". I'd much rather have someone in a cheap ship that's been properly taught combat and pvp, who isn't a ****** and puts in the effort to learn and get ahead than some 100 mil SP clueless idiot who still thinks that bigger=better and that every problem should be solved with bigger numbers.
In short; the only one holding a young pilot back is him thinking he has to endure and wait before he's allowed to be successful.
Excuses are the refuge of the weak. |

But on the other hand: how can you get experience if you-¦re not allowed to fly 95% of the ships and the ones you can fly perform at 50% of their ability because you don-¦t have the skills?
One thing I've learned is that any ship is a totally different ship once you have trained the appropriate skills up and can fit t2 modules. Just experience and no SP is no fun either. I don't see a lot of vets biomass their characters because SP don't matter. |

No they don't biomass them but it's very common that they create lower SP alts to pvp with. "Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason." |

Hyper gives terrible advice. Moving to 0.0 early is a great idea. There is no reason why a new player with only a few weeks of experience can't participate and have fun in 0.0. Leave empire... move to the real game (which also includes low-sec and WH space). |
