So I have had about 3 total months of play time on this character, with about 9 months of non play time between the first 1.5 and now.
The more I learn about the game the more I realized I really screwed this character from the get go, along with figuring out what I actually wanted to do in the game and not what I started wanted to do in EVE.
Would I be better off keeping this account subscribed and creating another character on this account. With full apis though they will see this character and how much he sucks. Or should I make a new account and transfer all assets to that new character on the account? (This would still show this character trading everything to the new account so that may not work)
This guy only has about 3 mil SP which for a new player is a lot but honestly the more I see the game the more I realize doing a restart now would not hurt that much.
Thanks, Keiguar

I joined some corporations in the beginning that are viewed negatively. My 3mil SP is all over the place. Luckily now I have medium proficiency according to eve-skilltracker.com in stealth

at 3 months I have a problem believing the character is that messed up. Who knows if the 3mil sp you have currently will be useful in the future? better to keep it around than just throw it away. I'd probably stick with playing that character.
I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me!
In the name of the Limos, the Malkuth, and the Arbalest, so help me pod

On the skill side, that's pretty much every newbie out there. No one's going to have a problem with that (well, no one worth listening to) and restarting won't get you that time back. With the removal of clone grades, there's no penalty to having skills trained that you don't use. |

There's nothing wrong whatsoever with your corp history.
Try being part of CODE, it's like the gift that keeps on giving.

Exactly how is your employment history messed up? What people consider the corporations in your past bad? How did these corporations get a bad reputation? I don't even recognize them. My initial suggestion is to keep training the character you have right now. I am going to join several other players in saying I don't think your character is that badly messed up. If during a corporation recruitment people ask questions, you can point out that you were a Rookie and didn't fully understand what the corporation you previously joined was about. That seems to be a perfectly honest answer right now.
As far as having 3 million skill points all over the place, that's fine. Mine are too and I have 27 million. You are trying new things in game and at this early stage have not landed on what you want to do.
Do not waste the effort you put into this current character. I bet it really isn't as bad as you think it is. If you still think you are completely messed up, try posting answers the questions I first posed and then getting feedback. |

I've not even heard of those. I doubt if other have.
Don't worry about skills. Just keep training.

Confirming while none of those corps look particularly good, there is no evidence being in any of those corps will matter one bit to your future in EVE.
Just stick with your character, no need to retrain stuff you already trained.
Focused SP characters are only really important if you plan on selling them for the max amount possible, you don't really need to worry about that until you get addicted and start making more accounts than you need.

Thanks for all the help guys, I will definitely keep this guy up and training.
Now to decide what everyone in eve decides at some point... what direction to go with my character.

Definitely become a miner.
On a totally unrelated note, I'm selling permits at a 10% discount.

There is no reason to ever need a second character in Eve. You cannot 'screw up a character'. You are never restricted as to what you can train, so simply change what it is you are training for and move on. Starting from scratch holds no real benefit, and the basic skills you need for every ship will simply need to be re-trained as well as whatever you decided you should have trained from the start. You will never get back the time you have already invested in training your first toon, and those skills you now deem useless will not have a negative effect on you going forward.
Sec status and such can be repaired. New skills can be trained. Even a bad employment history can be overcome with communication and honesty with a corp recruiter. If anything, think of poor choices made in Eve the same as poor choices made in RL. It's another layer of depth that affects your game play.
In games with a class based system,it's often required to start over to sample other play styles (ie, wizard versus warrior) or to overcome training mistakes to maximize a build. In Eve, there is no class system so it doesn't matter if you have trained something you now consider 'wrong'.
Alaric here is my first, and only active Eve character. He has been (briefly) a care bear, a low sec pirate, and now a null sec PvP line pilot. With a shift in training I could become an industrialist, explorer, ganker, FW hero, or WH resident. Since I can do anything with just one character, there is no reason to have any others. Many of the most interesting mechanics of Eve revolve around the consequences of that one character existing in a single shard universe. For example as a -10 pirate, I lived in constant danger and my life was honestly restricted like that of an outlaw. Rather than roll an alt to dodge this consequence, I embraced it, played the game according to that, and found it far more interesting that swapping to a 'clean' alt to avoid the fallout of Alaric's actions.
I suggest just sticking with your current character. I don't think you will benefit at all from starting a new one. |
