Here's my POV of my mistakes. No doubt a few repeats.
1.Join a good corp as soon as possible.
2.Leave your first corp when you can't learn anymore from other corp members. Find new one.
3.Fly what ever you are having fun in. Fly it until you are longer having fun in it. Don't fly something because someone tell you to fly it. They might not be looking out for your best interests.
4.Don't train your main character to be a jack of all trades. I feel I wasted a few skill points on weak mining and weak industry skills. Should have saved it for the alts.
5.When moving to a new system, don't move all your stuff. Take only what you need, and/or buy what you need at the new system. Sell what you find to be useless for you, and store what might be useful in future at the old system. Moving is a pain.
6.Build mission bases. This would be the system you do a number of missions. Honestly, I tend to create a base for everything( PVP, PVE, Trading,....etc.). I find having my PVE ships and PVP ships in the same station/system to be useless. Rarely fine combining bases useful.
7.In PVE, always double check that you have accepted a mission before undocking station. While in mission space, make sure you have retrieved the game token (item) required to complete the mission. This would have saved me a number of jumps.
8.In PVE, have more ammunition then you think you need for the missions. I learned this when a rogue drone web and scammed my Catalyst as I ran out of rounds. Took me way to long to get away for the little bugger.
9. In PVP, when starting out carry less faction ammunition and nano paste then you think you need. You are going die sooner then later. So, why drop good loot?
10.Take a Agony Unleashed Basic PVP course. Sooner then you think you should take it. Wish I would took my classes sooner.
11.In PVP, the Thresher is the way to go. If plan on skilling up for destroyer that is. Never used one of my Catalysts in PvP.
12.In PVP, if a Interceptor( He had friends.) is chasing you up a pipe, then create a safe spot, and keep a eye out for combat probes. Lost my first Thrasher mainly because I did not safe up, and wait for the probes. Make them work for it.
13.Mining, never solo mine in low-sec. Lost a mining cruiser that way.
14.If you are into mining, then just focus on training into a T2 Hulk fit.
15.Did I tell you mining is boring?
16.When it coming to alt characters, train for a trade alt before a hauler alt. I should have created a trade alt before a hauler alt,.... and the other alts. Trading has been a good way for me to make isk.
17.If your trading, then read up on the latest trading scams. I got burned. Once.
18.Being in fleet(PvP, PvE, Mining,...etc.) with other players is more fun then being a solo ship.
19.Finally, once your green(newness.) fades, give back to the Eve Online community.
