First off, I have to say that this game is so much fun. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be the type of person to play a game that at a space atmosphere. I've always been the RTS/FPS kind of person, and frowned on games like this. It's really fun, even though the learning curve is very large :)
So here's my questions:
1) After you finish the introduction lesson, and you get your 1st agent that you need to warp to, he has a total of 10 missions (has to do with Wolf). As I'm doing these missions, am I in the actual multiplayer area, or am I in my own world where I can't see anyone? The only reason I ask is because I don't recall ever seeing anyone else
2) Just to make sure I'm on the right track, I'd really like to do PvP but I was unsure of what type of character to make, so I went with:
Gallente/Gallente/Immigriant/Military/Soldier (+3 PER, +2 INT)
I did a little of research and found a post from last year describing this build for a character to initially start
3) How do I research new skills, or know which ones would benefit me the most? I've been doing a few of the chain missions and the scouts are taking a little while to down. I still haven't upgraded my items given to me from the beginning because I'm not sure how to decide which weapon will work for my ship or not.
4) I've been getting occasional lag spikes but I have a good and stable FIOS connection, and a good setup for my computer. Is this just a typical issue with the eve server?
5) How exactly does the PvP take place? Do you just cruise for space and eventually bump heads with another ship and decide to try to pod him while he's gathering, or is it suppose to be bloodlines vs bloodlines? Are there penalties for downing other ships?
I know it's a lot of questions, but thank you so much everyone! I was so excited with it that I didn't even finish my trial, I just purchased the game after my 2nd day of playing!
Thanks again everyone!

Lag most of the time is client-side (do you get the lag when warping to something?), the server only has issues in highly populated areas and in huge fleet fights.
It's just a lag spike every 15-20 seconds that lasts about 3-5 seconds each time. It's not even when I'm just in the station, even when I was doing the mission where you destroy Wolf's outpost it would still keep up the pace at a 15-20 second interval.
Now that the server's back up I'll be sure to try again and see if I'm still getting the issue.
Thank you very much for your help too btw, I really appreciated the advice!
