Hello everyone! My Wife and i have decided to take on a new game together, and we chose EVE. As avid ingress, minecraft and ESO players, we wanted something a bit more Sci-Fi and something to pass the time and enjoy together. We're excited to start this adventure and hope to get up to speed as this games learning curve seems to be a bit more drastic than any game we've ever played.
I've found some reliable resources out there for us like 10tonhammer, and random google pages, and a FB group . However i'm sure most of the great knowledge is held inside this forum.
In a months time i hope to get her and i in a spot where a Company will accept us under their wing and mentor us.
Any tips or good resources out there please leave a comment for me so i can check them out.
Good beginner races? Blood lines? (does this stuff actually have any pro's or cons?
Thanks for any and all advice! Cheers |

Welcome to EVE!
I wrote a beginners guide on Steam that is quite popular, you can find the link in my signature. It's a bit of a read but you can skip to the parts you're interested in.
As mentioned, blood line doesn't have any ingame benefit, just pick whatever race you like the look of as you can train into any factions ship very easily from the start.
Get ready, EVE is like nothing you've ever played. Have fun and remember to fly safe! (but not too safe )

Hello and welcome to Eve,
These forums and Google are your best friends for obtaining info about this game. There's a lot of info guides available for the various careers here in Eve. Some of those guides may be a bit outdated but will still contain some valid info. I suggest looking at all of the info pertaining to your specific career choice to get a good idea on how to proceed.
I encourage getting involved in a few different types of Careers which will make the game much more interesting and less likely to become boring.
Also take your time on joining a player Corporation. Do some research on the Corp and check out their WarDec history, where they operate, their future plans, type of game content they engage in, time zone the Corp is most active, etc. Fly with them for a few days, talk to them and get to know how they operate before actually joining. And above all else, do not pay any ISK to join their Corp. If they say it's a requirement, go look at another Corp.
I wish you and your wife lot's of luck and much success in having a long rewarding Career here in Eve.

You may find the following links handy

The biggest advice I can give is to ask yourself the question - what do you want out of EVE?
Knowing where you want to go can help focus your time and effort into something you find enjoyable. If you don't know, ask, and explore, and see what's out there.
As long as you keep things fresh and continue challenging yourself, EVE is a game that you can play for a long time. Sort of like yours truly, for example .
Have fun!

https://i.imgur.com/jj16ThL.jpg The above picture gets linked in this section of the forums from time to time. Believe it or not that picture is far less accurate now than it was when it was first made. However I agree with you that the learning curve in this game compared to others is still pretty steep.

This game is not like other's where you need to get to "level cap" before you are "of use" to a guild or corporation or whatever. Do the tutorials so that you can get the most basic concepts out of the way. After that you should be able to find a corp more than happy to take on two new players. While the game of Eve may be a little rough on new players the community of Eve will often bend over backwards to help out new players.
Keep in mind we don't take it easy on new players in space. You will get hunted and blown up mercilessly. It is just that often the player that just blew you up and took your stuff will be more than happy to tell you what you could have done better so that you are more of a challenge the next time that he blows you up.

It's similar to Minecraft. On day 1 you learn how to move your character and punch a tree and on day 245 you make a working redstone computer with 0.2Hz piston clock and 500b of ram. You also learn to tolerate 12 year olds (in this case players with 12 year of in-game experience instead of actually being 12 year old, although sometimes you can't tell the difference).
I'd start with watching a few funny videos and getting comfortable with the game for a few weeks before digging into tutorials, fitting tools, spreadsheets etc.

Welcome to New Eden!
The best advice I can offer to you and your wife is to understand that the risk vs reward in EVE is quite sharp. Unlike other games where you may respawn or lose durability on an item/weapon/etc -- in EVE, you can lose your ships and modules with nothing to show for it but a lesson learned.
There are thousands of "lessons learned" that you will stumble across -- embrace these lessons and you will dive deeper and deeper into our community and game.
Fly safe, and have fun!

Eve is very much spreadsheets in space and very hard to have any real connection to your character. As you came from ESO you might find Wildstar or Star Trek online a possible choice if you want a more traditional mmo. Wildstar has a fantastic free to play model and you could level up together as you may have done in ESO. As all these games have free to modes now nothing stops you trying them all |

Tzuke wrote:Eve is very much spreadsheets in space and very hard to have any real connection to your character. I'll have to disagree somewhat with this - its all in how you view the relationship between yourself, your character, and your ship. Some people see their character only as a middleman between themselves and their ship, whereas others (like myself) like to roleplay and develop their characters first, and see their ships as just tools to be used to meet a goal.
Whatever works for you, EVE's a sandbox, there's no "right" way to play.

It very much depends on what you do in the game. I suspect most EVE players have never so much as looked at a spreadsheet. |
