Ok so I just started the game a couple days ago and now im getting confused with my job. I choose Special Forces but not to sure where to take my character and what I should specialise in. My stats are Intelligence 5, Perception 13, Charisma 7, Willpower 14, and Memory 6. CAn someone give me a little nudge in the right direction please :)
I was looking for a job that would be mainly combat orientated but have some of the electronic warfare with it. Would a soldier be a better pick for me?
thanks

how about you do the tutorial and figure out EVE on your own?
You feel more accomplished if you figure out the game on your own.
But if you feel you are too stupid to figure it out on your own, feel free to post =) ---

new persons tip:
dont act like a moron, dont be rude, try not to come across like an idiot, (as hard as it may be for you) as you likely wont get anyone wanting to help you.
as for your questions, your bloodline and "job" mean nothing in-game now, they just gave you a layout of initial skills. your character can now train anything from any race, and as such you can do whatever you so wish.
missions for npc corps for security, or internal security agents will net you mostly kill missions.
as for pvp & ewar, you need find yourself a new-person freindly corp, and get involved with some pvp if that's your thing. have a look at eve-university for example.

First thing:
Learn your learning skills.. the basic skills to level 4, the advanced to level 4, and learning 5. THEY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Second thing:
Train up for a cruiser to run missions with. Pick a cruiser you think you will have fun with, and train the required skills to level 3, some support skills to level 3.
Third:
Train ALL of the support skills to level 4, minimum.. 5 if you want to enjoy your ships. Support skills are things like, Drones 5, Engineering 5, Electronics 5, Electronic Upgrades 5, Mechanic 5, etc.. etc..
Anything that will help you with any ship you decided to fly.
If by then, you still want to go with an EWAR + Combat platform, try to Arazu or Rapier. Both are excellent combat / ewar ships.
The Beginning <-- crap quality, need to redo, sorry :( |

This is EVE, there are no classes.. this is a free-form RPC.. there are no 'fighters' or 'wizards' here, though you may find yourself fullfilling thse , and many other roles, several times per day
the only class in eve, is what you bring to it really.. and most people have no class at all

If you read the "Eve Online Advanced Starter Guide" this should answer your questions. Here is the link:
Eve Online Advanced Starter Guide - Get your skills together properly, play smart and be successful
Here I have quoted the most relevant paragraph:
"Basically, you would want to build up your character according to its role, and there are a few options available. First off, you can have a well rounded character with all stats having a similar level, a build which is good for profession switching later in the game, recommended if youÆre new and undecided. As a rule of thumb, traders require a lot of Charisma and Willpower; fighters generally rely on Perception and Willpower, while haulers, miners, scientists and tanker types absolutely need Intelligence and Memory. My advice is to go for a fighter type since it will provide you with enough entertainment running NPC missions and will open up the way for becoming a pirate, or pirate-killer, since PvP is the most important aspect of Eve Online play. Bearing this in mind, your goal is to create a character that is low on Charisma, but has extremely high Perception, high Intelligence and Willpower, and moderate Memory. Each race has 30 points distributed among the stats so if youÆre going for a low stat, you can spend the points somewhere else. Therefore, the lineage with the best starting stats is the Caldari Achura, with the ancestry providing the +3 Memory bonus. Spend 3 extra points in Perception and 2 in Intelligence. Formal character training will consist in him working for the State War Academy, always on the path which boosts Frigate handling, because it will get you the most starting Learning Points. You now have a good character build with decent skills and you need to make some money and start training."
The only aspect this guide does not consider is 'Walking in Stations' due for release late 2008. This will probably make appearence more important and unfortunately, Achura males don't look pretty! In addition, everyone uses Teamspeak for PvP, so you might want to consider picking an avatar of your own sex!
Please feel free to post any further questions you have.
Good luck and fly safe.

If you join the corporation I'm in - Eve University - they go on operations practically every day. You will experience how the cov ops people (scouts) do their job.
During an operation, only the Fleet Commander and the scouts use Teamspeak, everyone else listens to what they have to say. In other words, covops is a vital job for PvP!
I'm sure the scouts will show you the ropes and tell you everything you want to know about it.
On the other hand, covops opens the door to exploration as a profession. It's still good to join a corp for this because I've heard some of the things you find require backup to deal with them. Either that or you need very good PvE skills as well as covops, which takes some time to get.

Fantastic. Call him a fool just before showing a flagrant lack of understanding of one of the most basic parts of Eve.
Something tells me you won't be here long.

To be fair Sov68n post looks like it come from a condecending **** tbh, the OP is new and just wanted a bit advise, what wrong with that ? Yes in response to said post the new player did 'throw back some stones' and he may well end up in some smacking corp but it is understanable.
OP - Dont worry too much about your starting skills your attributes (as these effect the time it takes to train a skill) are more important imo and if I was you I would think about rerolling the toon due to the memory and perception levels, other may disagree.

I'd say the first thing you do is make another character. Your Int being so low is going to have a heavy impact on your skillpoints, as pretty much all support skills have Int as their primary characteristic

Guys this is why he retorted so sharply. Don't bash the OP for saying what he did in his 2nd & 3rd posts, while they may have been a bit less tactful than would be appropriate, he was provoked when sov68n answered his first post by calling him stupid.
Anyway, I can't do more than agree with the more helpful posters above. Train your learning skills first, then go on a few missions and see which type of play suits you, and place your skillpoints there.
