Hello and welcome.
You can't kill us all (different time zones, people staying logged off, etc.), but you can kill quite a few.
You can learn a lot about the game from tutorials and guides, and also asking questions here, but to truly be great, you have to 1. dive into the PVP, and 2. find some good veterans to partner with for fights. 2 is difficult, as the tools to find corps and groups of people aren't all that easy to use, and "good" isn't part of the search filters.
You can train everything / anything as far as skills and abilities, so you're not building a character in the "tank, healer, DPS" sense, but rather the capability to perform any role that's interesting to you, with that one character. So sometimes training skills in this game takes as long as building and gearing up several characters in other MMO's. Don't get discouraged. |

With apologies to Crosby Stills and Nash:
You who are on the road Might join with CODE and do lots of fly-bys or roam solo by yourself Because the past was just a good-fight. Teach your children well, Their father's pod did slowly drift by, And feed them on your dreams The one they picks, the one you'll know by. Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh And know they will burn you.

And don't let anybody tell you that you can't PvP until you have X skillpoints.
Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

Tip #1: biomass until after the 28th or spend your free skill points you will be getting on the 28th on the core skills you didn't get by starting now. http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-vanguard https://imgur.com/a/XQ23E#0

Hi new I'm Chainsaw Plankton, welcome to eve \o/
and I'd almost be tempted to hold on to the 300k sp for a while, either that or use them on something a little more goal oriented. Some of those skills are indeed nice to have, some are kinda meh. Although nearly every skill there gets handed out during the career agents.
Eve is easy has a lot of nice videos that should help you get started on your quest of destruction https://www.youtube.com/user/eveiseasy/videos

It provides a nice rounded template of things most pilots (i.e. people who undock) will need.
IMO YMMV ETC |

Welcome to Eve and thanks, reading this made me chuckle. Hope you have a long and rewarding career here.
Just remember this game is more of a long term hobby, not a quick flash in the pan / instant gratification game. At first it may seem tough but after learning the game mechanics, you'll gain experience quickly enabling you to hold your own.
By the way, it's refreshing to see your open enthusiasm. Maintaining that type of viewpoint will help you a lot..

Hahaha yes, another bloodthirsty newbro. love it
the tutorial agent's give you free stuff so that would be your first call for basic mechanisms, the important ones are the shooty ones and the scanning ones, probe scanning is a valuable skill in both pve and PvP.
Core skills for fitting, tanking and drones will also do you well .
Also here's some outstanding articles written by my old martini drinking CEO (bookmark those, I still referr back to then the odd time).
Welcome aboard mate. o7

If you've played other MMOs Eve is not those MMOs. If you can drop any expectations and come to this game with a fresh perspective you'll do fine.
Also a very important point to note. There is no structured PvP in this game. There are no 10 v 10 squad action like most FPSs there are no 3 v 3 areneas or 40 man battlegrounds containing players of all the same level and roughly the same gear score and overly balanced classes.
In Eve a 2 week old pilot in a frigate can kill a 10 year old pilot in a battleship and fair fights don't exist. If you can deal with having to be smarter and having to fight dirtier than the next guy then you'll like it here. |

The 350K SP that you are whinning about here is less than five and a half days of training. Certainly not nothing but definitely not enough to cry about. I also say that the experience that you will gain in the next 3 days will be far more valuable than the 2 more days of skill points. But if you want to get all up tight about it play until the 28th and then reroll a new toon for the couple of days worth of training time if that's what you want to do. |

You seem genuinely upset about my post. Weird. You should probably relax. I was telling the newbie to use those skill points wisely by placing them into core skills or by just letting CCP do it for them (the reroll option). |

Relaxed is actually my default stance. People that know me are typically more concerned with my inability to get excited. However I am flattered by your concern for my well being and thank you for taking the time to calm me. That was very sweet of you. |

OK the others have got the go forth and kill stuff handled pretty well and I do not argue with any of it. However that is not to say that I do not have an alternative suggestion for you to consider.
Spending some of your time in high sec learning some of the basic skills you will need to go forth and successfully kill all the things is not in and of itself a bad thing. D-scan, ship handling, the microwarp - cloak trick and many others can be learned in the relative safety of high sec while you are training some of your characters skills. Along the way you can learn how to run missions. Yes, yes I know boring as hell for those who like to go forth and kill stuff but even they will have to admit that they are a reasonably steady and an easy way to earn the ISK needed to go forth and kill all that things.
As I said just some alternate thoughts on the whole thing for you to consider. Whatever way you go, welcome aboard and good luck to you. |

Another piece of advice is this, google around and find a good training plan. Core skills as they are called, might not seem like much but they make a huge difference in a fight. Some skills you want to get to 5 quickly are drones and capacitor systems, also gunnery. I also recommend joining rvb for a while, they were great fun when I was with them. |

You simply cannot pvp without 1 or more skillpoints. Since you posted, this means you have a character who has more skillpoints than 1. Congratulations! You can pvp now. :D

To be fair, you start with 50k(now increased) skillpoints so 1 skillpoints is not possible.
Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!
