Check out the e-uni newbie skill training guide to get you started. Join someone like RvB for a while for as much practice as you want, or e-uni if there's a particular part you want to learn, then decide where you want to go!
Don't spend money on buying plex. You'll put real value on what you buy with the ISk you get, and you don't learn that you can do more with less. There is 0 need to buy plex.
Do join eve university, adhocracy, brave newbies, etc. they teach a lot, have a lot of action, and you don't need to invest any Isk into it, just time. Yaay!!!! |

There are lots of reasons to buy PLEX with money.
Like not wanting to waste time making ISK. That's a huge one. Another one is that buying PLEX brings CCP money. The next is that selling them on the market lowers the price.

I should reiterate, don't invest in plex. There is no need to plow in 10's to 100's of dollars just to get isk, especially at the beginning.
It is not hard to make money.

Welcome to the game, EVE can be very unforgiving and it can be hard to find your start. However if you go suicide gank a highsec miner I'll give you 50,000,000.00isk.

10.5 year vet...
Welcome to eve.
What hooked me was.. *gasp* mining. I happen to be one of them weird-o's that enjoys 'boring' task (mining, recruiting, run 30 pos' solo before the fuel changes, running an alliance, being head diplomat etc) Mining is a great way to start playing, its relaxing and gets you some decent isk. My advice, if you are thinking of a career in mining get into a venture first. don;t go right to barge, and i'll tell you why. A venture is super easy to train for, so you can start mining today. And if lets say after a day of mining, you want to stop your eyes out with a fork (some peoples reaction) then you only 'wasted' a small amount of skills and not months on something you hate. Also, the venture allows you to make some isk while you train for the barge, its an efficient little miner.
Thats my two isk, get into mining in a venture to make sure you like it. Don;t dive in if you are unsure. OMG Comet Mining idea!!! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=331766 |

Mining Ship - Venture
This ship is the small mining ship, you may be able to get one free from a mining career agent.
In fact if your character is not being helped by an existing player, I would advise doing all the career agent missions first because they give you free stuff.
Including a Destroyer which you can fit lots of guns/space weapons to. Saves mining the Ore to sell to get the ISK to buy one.. see makes sense.
The mining part is the more relaxing part but it still isn't entirely safe to be AFK.
If you get killed, your ship is destroyed, get a new ship, simple as that, NPC's will not shoot your pod.
If a player shoots your pod, your character won't lose any skills as a new character, your new clone wakes up in station. You get a free rookie ship each time you die which you will probably not want because you can afford a better one.

Don't suicide gank until you know what you're doing ... ... else you'll just fall victim for the morons who are crappy gankers anyway ... ... who make others believe that hiding in station before and after a gank is a must.
There are lot of lowlife bears in this game who keep pretending they're awesome ... ... and you really have to watch out to avoid them, because they disguise themselves really well.
Besides that ... you'd have a killright on your ass for a whole month ... ... which can seriously crap into your day, if you get unlucky.
Also ... doing such a thing in tutorial missions is a definite no-go. I am Sol. I cook my bacon naked. New capsuleer in need of money? You hope there is more to the game than mining or running missions? THERE IS! Contact me via mail (only) ! |

Get a tristan with 5 hobgoblins! With this ship you can do up to lvl3 missions (except The Blockade).
Message me in-game for more info with fitting and skills. This is, imho, the easiest way to play for a new player with minimal ISK requirement.
Mining is a valid way to get money early on, but you have to skill into Procurers or something... |

Oh no, you won't perform this act of benevolence using a venture. You'll want to use a catalyst, a gallente destroyer, which is maybe a day train but, in line with what you are going for because you are already training gunnery skills. All you need to do is get the kill mail and post it in this thread.
Its a take it or leave it offer so if you choose to do so the 50,000,000.00isk is yours otherwise there will be some other confused newbie who claims it.

My advice is to specialize on a character as to what you are trying to do. Mining in and of itself actually takes quite a bit of skilling into and requires orca or rorqual boosts with a party boost to really be worth doing in my opinion (not to mention having good/great reprocessing skills to get even more out of your ore). Mining ice or ore are both fairly boring activities despite the pirates that come out to ease the boredom at times and make sure you're awake. You might actually need to start working on training up 3 barge or exhumer pilots and an orca pilot with skills that boost your mining yield in order to make mining interesting. EDIT: And what I mean by this is literally having 4 separate accounts for each ship I mentioned prior.
If you want action then perhaps specialize into something else like mission running. I'd work on specializing into battleships with at least all tier 2 support and weapons. However, I am no expert on that matter, but the game seems to be better when you pick a roll and specialize into something. |

welcome to eve.
sol......relax
back to the op, as others have mentioned , you do not need to mine. i did when i started and the pay is **** poor, as is the content (which is essentially someone asploding your ship the second you go make yourself a cup of tea) is just as bad, you mentioned johny pew so i would say try exploration , ontop of being comparatively good pay, scanning skills are invaluable in pvp so you would actually be learning useful skills.
someone mentioned ninja salvaging and ill echo that recommendation as it requires you to use an expanded probe launcher to scan down other players in space and steal their stuff.
you should read this and this. if you want to get some easy(ish) kills look into this. all links are from my ceo (and benevolent overlord) 's blog which i would recommend for you if you are looking into highsec pvp (of which there is plenty to be had).
feel free to contact me in game if you need a hand, there are plenty of rescources around for newbros, you just may not know how to find them.
also, for troll free advice you should post questions here in the newbie section of the forums, there's no drama in there and you can for the most part trust the advice given.
