This, so much! I vividly remember getting frustrated about how to perform simple maneuvers. Ah, I actually miss being a newbro.

1. Server Tranquility, Join XXXXX Other Players. XXXXX Is the number shown in your launcher att anytime tranquility is online, now divide the number by (3-5 dice roll) to get a proper estimate of players instead of accounts online.
2. Make sure you have your map set to "ships destroyed in last 1 hour" and never warp to 0.5 or lower if the number is above 1 because there will be a gate camp there. Also don't trust the map because it takes a long time for it to update.
3. Add CODE alliance to your Contacts as terrible standing for easy to spot hostile players.
4. If you see people with orange or red overview name when you warp to or from a stargate, you just lost your ship.
5. Warp Stabilizers are only there to make you believe that you can prevent warp scramblers.
6. If you have less than 6m SP, don't even bother to try and fly anything, just make a skill queue for mastery 2 of your faction frigate and log off until its done.
7. First 3 months of EVE is best played offline waiting for skills to complete.
8. Don't be tricked by CCP's EVE Trailers, they look awesome but tells about as much about EVE as the line: "USA won WW2" does about modern history.
9. People Will steal from your wreaks when at a combat site.
10. If you see another person on the overview, assume he will try to kill you.
11. Learn D-Scan.
Those are the 11 things i have learned coming back to EVE.

I'm a new player, but even I know this is a terrible post.
The best advice I can give anyone is to join a corp dedicated to helping new players learn the game. I joined brave and I've been enjoying the game so much more since.
I wanna join up. I think I got what it takes to be a Citizen.

Buy a 50m+ SP toon and avoid the skill point grind. It sucks not being able to fly all the good stuff (well) you want for years.
Get into nullsec (or losec) ASAP. Do not get on the hisec PVE hamster wheel. Join Brave Newbies or Pandemic Horde on day 1.
Would you like to know more?

A lot of these posts that say: "Just log off until such-and-such skills are done," are terrible advice.
The best advice to this game is to just see something you want to do, and then do it.
Don't wait for the skill points. Just equip a ship and go make an attempt.
You'll be quite surprised what you can handle in a T1 ship with T1 fittings all by yourself.
For PvP, join a corp. There are many ways a new player can ruin a veteran's day with a T1 ship, but you'll need veterans on your own side to do the actual damage and secure the kill. |

I just crossed into 36,000,000 skill points about a week ago, and I wish I'd known two things.
The first is more abstract: I wish I'd known that the attributes, remapping, implants, skill points, and tech II were just a Dog and Pony show. I wasted months "playing" this game waiting for skills to finish training so I could fly the ships I wanted to. I want to emphasize that part "fly the ships I wanted to" I'd never flown them before, how could I possibly know that I really wanted to fly them more than the other ships? I'd never flown any ships. I probably would have had a blast in a Punisher (especially post-tiericide). But I waited and waited and waited till I had "enough" sp. I waited the game away. God help me, I won't do that with my life.
Second is less abstract. I wish I'd known that pods are valid targets in wardecs. I lost 100m right out of the gate. I don't know why I assumed that there were limits to wardec targets, but if in the CONCORD war mail there was something that said "While you are undocked in any ship or pod, you will be a valid target for the members of the corporation you are at war with," it would have left no room at all for confusion. Granted it's kind of like the "Caution: HOT" label on McDonald's coffee cups, but I don't mind being considered a totally ignorant person when I'm just starting out. If it's already there, then clearly I am still an ignorant person. |

hey guys i just started playing like 6 hours ago. this quote is about 2 years old but should i be concerned about this? im gallente doing intro missions right now.

Not in the slightest. People in the new players section are overly dramatic. Eve is not as horribly brutal and difficult as they try to make out. Granted it's difficult compared to most mmo's, but it is a game where if you're willing to put the effort in to learn stuff, that you will prosper and have a good time.
I would recommend doing as many career agent missions as possible, try and complete the sisters of eve arc, and then get involved with a large newbee friendly xorporation. The game is a completely different affair then. I started enjoying eve much more when I joined a big corporation who could help me learn the ropes and getting me involved in pvp/other action in nullsec.
I wanna join up. I think I got what it takes to be a Citizen.

I wish I had known that Trader was my real vocation 3 years ago.
I wish I didn't only find out about it 3 years after starting and testing everything else.

CCP Gargant wrote:Greetings new citizens!
We in the Community team have a question we would like your input on. When you started EVE Online for the first time, what about the game confused you the most?
Is there some mechanic or feature, or even just normal game-play, that you wish someone could have pointed out to you right from the get-go? A word of experience you would impart to an even newer member of the EVE Online family? I wish id know what ccp planed to nerf the next 2 yers so cold trained skills for a nother profession.
Shit hapens,mowe on......Luky maby your good then......Playe as you like and not as others tell you to.....It dont hurt to be nice....

I was on my 4th trial account and about to quit for ever when I was invited to join a corp. Been playing for almost a year now and loving it. If I hadn't joined a corp and learnt how to play, I don't think I'd be playing Eve now. |

I wasted a lot of time with my main running missions for all sorts of different NPC corps. I didn't understand how the whole LP thing worked. I do now, but not then. I probably have 200K LPs spread across about 10 NPC corps. For this alt, I am sticking with Caldari Steel (she's a mining alt), but my main, whew...all over the place.
Also, I would add, it would be nice to know what the differences actually are. I know some NPC corps don't offer mining missions, period. Others only offer security and distribution missions, for example. But, are there any differences between the types of missions? For example, does one NPC corp offer more anti-Gallente missions than the others? Or may be Sanshas over Angels, or what have you... |

Sounds like a need for a really well skilled missioning Corp. I've been to too many Corps that decide because they can do missions, it is time to go to Null sec now.
A strictly missioning Corp, in high sec that specializes in Incursions, or low sec missions would be a great thing in Eve. |

i wish i knew it was viable to enter nullsec early with <10m sp. I spent so much time "preparing" for nullsec and procrastinating about it because all i ever heard was how hard it was.
Its not hard.

I wish I'd known that you cannot buy an invulnerable ship, no matter how expensive.
Likewise, I wish I'd known that Skill Points don't produce ISK, and don't provide invulnerability.

Advanced combat. I'm still not quite there to be honest. With all the different terms, tactics and the multitude of different types of modules, as well as balancing the use of your capacitor, it is a lot to take in at first. An 'Advanced Combat' tutorial would be great to give people a feel for the kind of combat they'll encounter in PVP.
When we first saw the flock, we were surrounded..Brilliant colors, dancing lights...This moment is the first time I understood what it meant to be Caldari: Divinity in the flock...one being, many changes.
