I am hooked and have decided to do this long term and am currently learning my learning skillsą..so thanks to this point!!!
As a Caldari I did +4 perception and +3 willpower to focus more on fighting so what and how do I build a ship to support that play style? I feel at this point I have a good understanding of how the skills system works so I do feel confident in that regard.
OkayąąNeed some more guidance and I am sure this is all opinion based but based on your experience what routes should I go?
My ship based on reading should be either Kestrel or Merlin as a starter ship goesą.
What weapon system should I put on my ship and what are the best? Missile (I do understand that my race is missile focused but are missiles any good?)If missile then what types and how would you outfit your respective ship to be effective? Projectile Laser
What does tanking mean and being a Caldari whose ships are shield heavy what style of tanking should I do? What would a ship build look like to support the respective tanking style?
I have spent more time reading the forums then actually playing the game (1.5 days) and have learned a great deal but just when I think I understand I get confused all over again. I just want to make sure that I donĘt waste a lot of time doing something that I shouldnĘt be doing or buying things that are not necessary. Ideally, I would love for someone to show me what my ship should look like regarding what goes in what slots in order to best facilitate and compliment my respective ship and race.

I am a minmatar and dont fly your ships but try this loadout if you have ths skills to fit it.
High slots : 4 standard missile launchers (malkuth later on when you have the money)
Med slots : Small shield booster, 2 shield hardners fitted to suit the kind of damage the ships you are facing will be dealing out. Sansha for example only do EM and thermal damage so you would want thermal and EM hardners
Low slots : 2 PDU's (Power Distribution Units) Increases shield recharge rate and max grid output plus a bunch of other small bonuses.
You can fit your launchers with 4 different types of missile each of which do 1 type of damage (thermal, kinetic, em or explosive) You tailor your loadout to the weakness of your enemies. Generally if an NPC hits with a type of damage they are weak to that damage type as well.

Tanking is a word to describe how your ship is setup to absorb and repair damage in combat.
You either get shield or armour tanks.
Their are whole skill sets for each type.
Once you have the ship above try killing some NPC pirates in the astorid belts of 0.7 or 0.6 systems.
Should be easy. :-)
I might be on later tonight. Look me up and convo me if you like.

In the Ships and Moduels fourms you will find exactly those answers.
The Kessie is realy designed for Rockets. As for how you set it up that will depend. A lot of people try to shield tank it, others prefer to armor tank it.
Caldari ships are all going to use Missiles or Hybrids. For Frigates your looking at mostly Rockets and Lights.
So the Kessie would look something like High: 4 Rocket Launchers Mid: 1 AB 1 Shield Booster 1 Hardner Low: 2 Ballistic
The Merlin you could go with say High: 2 125mm Rails and 2 Standards Missile Launchers Mid: 1 AB 1 Booster 1 Harderner 1 Misc (Depends personal pref) Low: Personal pref. Damage/Tracking mods.

Edited by: Vladimir Ilych on 16/06/2006 15:19:23 Apologies if the setup for the Kestrel is impossible to fit with missiles. Like I said I have never flown it.
I have been here a year and still learn new stuff all the time.
Arsing around with ship setups is one of the most interesting elements of this game.
