If you look around on the EVE Uni Wiki / EVE Wiki there are some useful tips on starting off and specific careers as well as fitting Amarrian ships and
If you're going Amarr, I believe you'll be fitting your ships mainly with Lasers and armour tanking modules. Unfortunately, I play Gallente so I can't give you specific advice on fits, though feel free to open up a convo with me in game and ask me any other questions you would like answered.
If you're wondering what kind of skills to train, it really depends on the career you want to settle with and what hobbies you want to embark on.
If you're looking for combat, a good skill set to progress through for Amarr (As well as Gallente and Minmatar as they both benefit greatly from these bonuses) fits are the gunnery skills and the different armour skills.
Other non-specific skill sets that are quite useful are the Navigation skills, the Electronic and Engineering skills (Which boost CPU, power grid and capacitor), the Targeting skills and the Drone skills just to name a few.
There are, whether fortunately or unfortunately, a very large number of skills available that can be useful depending on circumstances, though a few that might be commonly handy are: Salvaging (IV or V is best, though don't rush this if you don't need to, of course) Trade to IV and subsequently the skills "Broker Relations" and "Accounting" (They come in handy when selling items is your main form of income) Social to IV and subsequently "Connections" (I recommend at least to 3) and "Fast Talking" (Again, to 3) to help with relations when doing missions and 'farming' for a jump clone Cybernetics to at least II for implants (You can train higher if you want, though I don't bother because I'm poor)
DISCLAIMER: I'm an idiot, I don't take responsibility for any of my idiocy because I am still an idiot. ^_^
Though my advice may not be the best ever advice and people can probably add a large amount of information to what I've already said, I know this to be true: It doesn't matter your skills, your wallet size, or your reputation, make sure you're having fun in EVE, otherwise you'll become bored and drop it fairly quickly. (It should be obvious, but apparently it isn't (I'm looking at you, Blake Lowe)) |

The Eve University Wiki is highly recommended as your "go to" place for information, especially on ship fits when you are a new player. Just ask in one of the help channels and someone will link it for you.
It's useful for shipfits if you aren't sure where to start. Just enter a ship name e.g. any of the Amarr frigates in the search and pull up the details for that ship. For most ships you will be presented with several different fittings that might be labelled e.g. PVE low skill, PVE higher skill, PvP low skill, etc.

Amarr ships a glorious (obviously) but whilst the other races ships are clearly inferior as they lack ivory and gold, some of the roles their ships fulfill shouldn't be overlooked.
I Would advise that you train all the races weapons systems (drones in particular) and ships to some degree as you may be surprised as to what may grow on you.
Personally I always hated the inkursus but as soon as I started flying its t2 variant the ishkur I fell in love with it and now it's one of my favorites.

Eve University also has a public Help channel, which is very good and well moderated (in other words, they make sure the idiots and trolls are "taken care of"). Lots of helpful veterans hang out there, along with some of the staff from Eve Uni.
And their wiki is quite good. Eve Uni wiki. The search feature is quite good.
The channel is called "E-UNI" and you can find it on your chat channels list window, right under the English Help channel.
They also hold public classes and they invite any and all to get on their voice comms (they use Mumble). If you register with their forums you can get on their "private" Mumble and hang out with them and learn lots, even get in on some activities.
"Xercodo" wrote:Make sure to do all the tutorials and all 5 career agents This is extremely good advice. These will set you up with a number of free skillbooks, ships, and a handful of useful modules, as well as ISK.
One thing to know about Eve Online, there is no "best" since "the best" of anything often depends on how your skilled, your personal experience, what you're planning on doing with ship, your resources, etc. You'll find the answer of "it depends" is common but don't take that as a brush-off. And the right answer for one situation isn't going to be the right answer for another.
Never compare Eve Online to other MMOs you may have experienced. And don't try and go-it-alone, but be cautious of everyone . And don't push-off sound advice just because you don't like the answer .
Most of all, Eve is a sandbox which means what ever you want to do, no matter how good or fail at it you may be, it's up to you, and no one else. Welcome, and have fun! |

Why are you playing Eve?
Nobody can help you unless you identify the direction you are going in already (you're playing Eve - so you took that first step - some people I talk to want me to hand it to them on a silver platter before they do the trial).
Amarr ships are pretty, yes. As long as they stay in the stations. When they are outside of the station they can become war machines. Very deadly, causing huge amounts of drama and stress on other players.
Amarr FW right now is kicking butt. Amarr frigates are small pretty objects that unleash angry sizzling amounts of laser damage. Amarr frigates at level 5 along with support skills would be awesome.
But then I fly rifters at level 5 so I don't need Amarr frigates.
I will look for you on the battlefields!! |

They did help you out there though. Take it as a learning lesson. Trust is most valued commodity in EvE.
So take things with a grain of salt at all times and just have fun with what ever you do. Best way to play.
Now however, to better facilitate your line of questioning the askance of what do you wish to do is relevant.
Do you like to build stuff? Do like being the guy that equips a group before a fight? Do you like being the person that makes sure goods get from point A to point B safely and quickly? Do you like to fight for an ideal? Do you like instances/dungeon style play? (missioning) Do you like hunting bad guys? or just for profit? Do you enjoy ruining someone elses day just because you can and still profit from it?
and the list goes on and on........ Till you have an idea about yourself....no one can fully assist you in anything....becaue they dont know what you want or asking....or how to utilize you and still give you something fun to do. |

You'll find you will get some responses that aren't the best. Just filter those out and pay them no mind. One thing in Eve is that if you respond to certain things you'll simply feed the trolls. |

Assholes? You ain't seen nothing yet! Wait untill you know what to fly, how to fit and what to do... and then die unceremonially in 5 seconds flat because the real assholes were lying in wait to murder the smacktalker.
That being said, Eve has no set goal. It has people, and it's interesting to see what they do with the sandbox. Observe, find your niche, get good at it, and enjoy your time playing. The last part is most important. I know a great deal of loose cannons that just play Eve without predefined goals, or are happy the corp has goals which create content (read: make PVP happen) as we go along.
My goal in Eve is to surround myself with friends, have a place to call "home", and a few assets to our collective name worth fighting over. I enjoy the emergent, small gang lowsec PVP that comes with the territory, but also the rush of catching freighters and capitals in transit, or sieging so hard it draws 3rd parties into a fight with each other trying to drop us, is highly enjoyable. I also enjoy PVE with the danger of getting caught, or the option of catching an inwary ratter yourself. Hunting PVE Tengus for their shiny mods (and to steal their sites) is also fun. Basicly, I enjoy lowsec life, and don't make matters more complex then just doing **** in lowsec.
I even build stuff nowadays! Pirate ships. And I might do some industrial stuff with rigs soon, just because I have the skills and it would save me lots of ISK over time. |

We love to help. But give us reason to help you...
From your OP, it clearly shows you haven't done the tutorials yet, nor that you did some sort of research on your own and ask dedicated questions.

Here, that's already a small improvement.
For combat missions (the PVE kind), just pick a ship / setup you like and run missions for any agent you like.
"ship progression" for missions:
Level 1 - Frigates / Destroyers Level 2 - Destroyers / Cruisers Level 3 - Cruisers / Battlecruisers Level 4 - BC / Battleship OR T3 cruiser
Another goal you could work towards it doing Incursions. These are fleet-sized PvE encounters but do require T2 cruisers or a proper skilled (pirate) battleship.
What is even better then seeing NPCs die...see other players die.
For that, just have a look at:
* RvB * Faction Warfare * NPSI fleets (public fleets that will take on nearly everybody).

Yes but everyone and their cat looks to get into eve uni and last I heard they were stretched, try taking to them, they have a public channel you can join and ask things in.
Red v blue is also worth mentioning (and actually has been )

Yeah and Nah.
It really depends, I've heard people who loved E-Uni and it really helped them. Others hated it, their rules and how many hoops they had to jump through to even get through the recruitment part.
So, it's 2 sides to the medallion, as with everything.
And as with general in relation to should I join corp "x". We really can't tell, as the fit between you and a corp is something personal.
Some corp might works for you but it won't for me. Some corp will be the perfect fit for me but you will hate it.
This is also the case for E-Uni, but as a teaching institute, they are great. The amount of knowledge you can gather from E-Uni is huge.

Re Eve Uni;
Ralph - not sure what you mean by "stretched"?
Eve Uni is definitely a good group to look at getting into. Yes, their recruitment process is somewhat intimidating, especially for newer players, but it's more of a case of their popularity over the number of recruiters they have active. They have 24 recruiters listed of which some are management-level types, but realistically perhaps 15 of them are fairly active in the job.
They have to go through a few checks, similar to many other larger player corps, so all the work that needs to be done for that, and then you get an interview... well, it can take days. Historically they've had backlogs running into several weeks.
They do have some rules, but they really aren't that bad. Mainly just about how to act with each other, rules of engagement, and some minor internal stuff that may seem silly or archaic to outsiders. They really have shed a lot of the old, archaic rules.
The whole point of Eve Uni is that you join for a time, learn some stuff, make some contacts, and then move on, although it looks like a lot do stay around. It's a huge advantage being able to count on a couple of hundred active players at any given time. And they cover a lot of different areas of the game.
Eve Uni does suffer from an overly bureaucratic set-up and their directors are laughably absent from the game a lot, but the managers are a good bunch. For some, their style of things and their notorious slowness at certain things is a real turn-off, and for others their structure and (very light) regimentation is very desirable.
Of course you can learn most of what they offer without being in their corp/alliance as all their classes are public and they do allow outsiders to join them on fleets and PvE stuff. The one thing you'd really miss-out on is really getting the contacts and camaraderie.
Re RvB;
good bunch of pilots, two eternally at-war alliances/corps with each other so you can get your fill of PvP and blow up a lot, and have fun doing it. I've seen them tangle with Eve Uni in a few wars and these guys bring the fights, which everyone loves.
I don't really know too much else about them such as rules and stuff, but they do have some, that much I know. |

The requirement of having a pulse to join Brave Newbies Inc. was removed some time ago, though other BRAVE alliance corps may have stricter recruitment policies.
Red Republic and Blue Federation are similar.
All of these (BNI, RvB) are more "learn by exploding" than by formal structured lessons of EVE-Uni.
EVE-Uni is worth the time and effort of joining, if you are the type of pilot that needs or prefers this style of education / gameplay. |

Eve Uni sucks. I applied and they rejected my application. So they suck.
In my opinion you should join FW and learn the mechanics. Plenty of people to taunt and pick fights with there. And you get a very decent reward for your time there. But you gotta learn the mechanics. |
