Well the list I gave is not all inclusive... There is Eve-Explore and Eve Gate and many others... The bunch I put out though covers the real basics. Technical/Gameplay, Market, Equipment Info, and Politics/Bullcaacaa. (How do you spell that?)
The Eve 4 basic food groups. The savviest players take healthy portions of them all. Not a bad route to suggest to the many new players out there.

Of all the MMOGs I've played, I've never seen one where the developers provided huge database of information on the game. They've all been community-provided, and always more informative than what's on the official site.
Frankly, I think it's counter-productive for a company to provide a ton of information, because that makes the game easier to play and makes things easier to get (whatever those might be, whether missions, items, levels, etc.) thus people "finish" them quicker and move onto something else. So it's really in CCP's best interest to provide only the minimal amount of information themselves, as every other producer I know does, while the loyal community does the work of making databases and guides, and Eve's has done more than any other I've seen (haven't played EQ).

I would suggust that a strategy guide for EVE would be an excellent use for a wiki. They're fairly easy to set up, and they're mostly self-policing.

I write strategy guides for a living. I mainly cover massively multiplayer games and after nearly five years of writing, I decided to start my own company last year: www.gameguidesonline.com.
As some people pointed out in this tread, massively multiplayer strategy guides go quickly out of date and after a few months in print, they're nearly completely useless. The solution to this problem is free content updates to the guides.
Some of my older guides are several years old (which would make them embarrassingly inaccruate) but I update them every month or two. This -is- a lot of work and whoever suggested someone write one up on a whim as a volunteer is absolutely mad. Sometimes it takes me over a month of constant writing to complete a guide. Hundreds of pages and thousands of hours of playing and research.
I'm a complete noob in Eve, but I'm approaching it like I approach all massively multiplayer games: methodically. I try to learn what ever option does, every stat, every item and strategy. I write down every question that pops in my head and when I write a guide, I try to answer them all.
Anyway, it looks like Eve is in need of a new strategy guide. :)

You could try playing the game and discover what works and what doesn't. Been with the game since June last year and most of the knowledge I've gained is from playing and learning from other peeps rather than having it handed on a plate.
Much more fun but not the quick fix most ppl want.

meh just learn like everyone else did. I hate games where the tell you " How to be good at the game in six easy steps." It's too much like cheat codes. Why not learn by finding out on your own?

Well for any guide I plan to write I'm going to hit the basics. No formulas and any of that crap. Want to know some of that... research or learn. Want to know how to do some basics, in an attempt to avoid looking like a newbie, well that's what I'll give you.
Besides trying to pin Eve down to exacts would only kill the utility of the guide. It's for beginners and heck things change to darn quick sometimes.
What you are going to get amounts to a free ride. And it will be worth just a cut or two above that.
And of course I have to figure out how to present it all from the in character perspective. It's the EG mandate after all. =)

Where do I find my stuff? What is the scanner, can it benefit me how? How do I buy things from other systems? How can I see the best price on market? What do all these GUI options do and how do I benefit from them? How do I activate my modules? What benefit does the iron ammo give me over antimatter ammo? Why could I not warp away when that PC pirate attacked me? How can I defend against such a thing? Why should I join a gang? Why should I not accept to join a gang? (BobGenghisKhan anyone) etc etc
Simple but vital game mechanics that really new players need a walkthrough with experienced players. -- Champion of user friendlieness and proper information distribution Defender of newbies EVE knowledgeBase |

Hello everyone.
Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet, I wanted to point out that our knowledgebase has articles on many aspects of EVE gameplay, not just technical issues. We try to add to it as frequently as time allows and we sincerely hope you all can find useful information there.
