You're more or less forced to stay "foot soldier" for a very, very long time simply by the limited yearly SP acquisition. Which doesn't mean you can't do anything, there's plenty to learn and discover, your possibilities are just limited.
EVE is the one game around that's the most vet friendly and rewards "months of subscription payed" more than any other game, simply by its fixed SP acquisition mechanics. In my opinion that's not a good thing and the main reason EVE doesn't have 1 million players but 100k with 3 accounts each. It's for a reason that EVE may well be the most top heavy game around with a lot of old players and not a lot of new ones. We all know that if CCP put up a new server where everyone would have to start from scratch no new player in his/her right mind would even consider start playing TQ.
Yes in other games low XP players have an inherent disadvantage. But at least they have the opportunity to do something about it.
Lol wut? Since when has flying capital ships been the be-all end-all thing to do in EVE? Who's been spreading this rumor? Why do so many new players have this misconception? Yes you will probably be a foot-soldier in any corp you join, that's normal, even if you're a cap pilot that doesn't mean you get special privileges, you're just cap pilot #564, grab that carrier and X up with the rest of the fodder. That's such a small part of the game in the broad scope of things, it's not the end game. You're not limited by anything.
You seem to be under the impression that being a new player is a bad thing. It's not. There's so much stuff to do in New Eden that you can do from the very beginning. Bu-bu-bu- my skillpoints, someone who's spent months training their skills will always beat me. Maybe at 1v1. It's a social game, make some friends and play the fight by your rules. There's no arenas or battlegrounds to enforce teams, nobody is going to look down on you for stacking the odds in your favor. 3 or 4 newbs in rifters will still overpower Baron Von 100 million skillpoints in his Jaguar if they at least know the basics of pvp. |
