As you can see, Im a new character and currently training some combat skills as advised by a friend.
Could you recommend what there is to do with mediocre skills?
Ive dabbled with security missions but doesnt seem as fun as I thought it might be and mining does not interest me at all. I prefer to be engaged in the game that I play rather than being almost AFK scrolling through YouTube.
Any ideas are welcome <3
Much appreciated :)

These are all null/low sec pvp corps dedicated to helping newbros.
Eve Uni is an all encompassing corp which teaches newbros various aspects of eve, might be worth a look. Awesome, I will check them out :)
Dont join any of those corps you will be hated by anyone not in those corps, a good place for you would be like Space Ship Gamers inc they are a great corp to fly with, every easy to learn pvp, and own a pretty safe low sec pocket for missions. |

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Ive been persuaded to train Exploration/Scanning skills Hopefully it will be as fun as Ive been told it would be! It will teach you a lot. How to travel smart, D-Scan, etc.. All great skills to have no matter what you're doing in EVE, and they're player skills as opposed to skill points. Have fun out there.

If you are still reading, and unless you are ready to venture out of HS for data/relic sites, I suggest running low High Sec Combat Signatures, after researching them, with a frigate/destroyer.
The profits are far larger (occasional 100mil drops), and you will begin to understand some simple (albeit NPC) combat related skills. Its (reasonably) safe, profitable, and helps fund yourself while training combat skills (which is important on your main, mo matter what else you plan to do in EVE).

Whuh? Did you read original post? It was a legitimate question and one I hear regularily. Look at recruitments, minimum 10sp to apply and all that. Read more and the thread creator chats and gives feedback, been a fantastic thread.
I loved my first pvp experience. Tackle griffin with ECM! Zoom zoom kite til the dps got there! Woo for having no SP! |

HTFU vs Incubation.
It takes time to develop basic EVE, ship and systemic skills.
You will get murdered in PvP without all three.
Time.
Time to do all three above, matters most, Ergo:Sticking with the game, no matter how you play it, and even if you dont.
Dont swallow the bait, and think you can compete until youve skilled basics to 3 atleast. You cant unless opponent is drunk, mentally ******** or (even less likely) a noob like you.
These are guys who are proposing to throw you off the deep end into a pool full of sharks. They mean well, but its bullshit.
Explore, experience in HS, read up on the game, make some friends, and most importantly, skill up. The rest can come later.

I do not see it that way. Is it sharks, or a pack of wolves? I have a view to pvp. If I had the isk that many do, I would buy in bulk disposable ships for new players to use. Seen Mike Azariah (sp?) doing that in system. Just giving out ships to newbies. Project pony or something. Great motivation, pilots get and can see a nice fitted, but not expensive fit.
For PVP, I would take them in, show em how to keep their pod alive (not so big now since clone fee gone) and then just feed them ships til they get the sp.
"Welcome to the corp, you are going to die, you are going to die lots in fact. But we will support you in return for you supporting us"
Ideally, the new pilot just needs to learn his role, and develop his skill. Ships are given fitted and free in conjunction with that player's goal and a skill (sp and how to play) training plan to help them become a versatile and effective pilot. Their pay, well they can keep the insurance payouts.
Result, from day one a player can pvp. They experience the highs and lows and adapt. Eventually they get the ability to earn their SP, isk and all that.
Damn... wish I had that when I was a newb. |

Im still reading :) Its nice to get such welcoming feedback! Eve seems to have a good community and 1 of which I would much like to be apart of :)
I havnt read to much into combat sites just yet, only standard data and relic sites but that will be 2nd on my list if it is to do with exploration :) |

Much as with the gameplay, community is an odd duck as well. Seriously devoted veteran players who will go across the systems to help a stranger new to the game. At samr time there are those who love to troll, scam and harass new players. Beauty of eve is that both exist (with some EULA rules) and that as such means if you find the right group to suit you, it is fantastic. My experience working with players who leave or want to leave have one theme. They didnt have that social aspect. Eve is fun, but the social side is what make it great. |

I would love to have more skillpoints but not at the cost of enjoying the game...
I have always enjoyed the experience of 'leveling up' in any game that I play and from what I understand with Eve, there is no 'Max Level'... only personal experience to learn from.
This post was merely to ask from experienced players, what the most fun thing to do whilst at a low Skill point bases. Not a post asking for money or skillpoints or anything else other than advice.
I would never ask anything from others other than what is free :) I like to make my own way in the universe.. that counts for RL as well as ingame.

Ive heard that Red v Blue is like a massive war between 2 alliance that is always ongoing, I dont think that would be good for me at the moment. As I can imagine and knowing my luck... Everytime I undock, I would get attacked >_<
Maybe in the future I might dabble with big scale PvP but at the moment I think its best to get to grips with the smaller stuff :)
Thanks for the info tho <3 |

Sounds like they just play war games, maybe those games are organised so that you might not have any issue undocking.
I'd consider it myself, but it doesn't fit in with my RP. |

Unless you're willing to invest at least 3-5 years into this game, I wouldn't get to involve into this game if I were you. If I could go back in time, I'd avoid this game like the plague. Once you've gotten over the steep learning curve, it's over for you, you've now become a victim of Eve. |

So if you consider yourself a victim of EVE, why are you still here?
Or is it a case of you like being a victim? |

* Fit a Micro Warp Drive * Fit a Scram * Follow simple instructions * Not be a ****
Then you can join in, be useful and learn a lot. The most important thing is to find and join a corp that do a lot of PvP and are friendly.
Of course, you'll still want to train up for bigger ships but don't not fly because you are waiting to sit in a different hull. |

Being used as a suicide tackler is a very very niche role that almost no new eve players would enjoy for long. Newer players wants diversity as soon as possible and also to be able to generate isk on their own. So realistically speaking for a new pilot interesting in joining a corp, I'd say the minimum 10 mill SP mark is accurate.

If I, an average player at best, can survive lowsec without support from a large organization, from week 2 until now, a newbie can definitely survive and thrive in null with positive support. Perhaps people saying things like what you are is the real problem.

You and a couple others in this thread may be the exception to this, but I was speaking from a majority standpoint.
