1. Tell me what you would do with the 21 billion isk I have in my wallet and assets.
2. Tell me about the dreams you have for yourself in eve that you are worried will never come true.
3. Tell me about the biggest mistake you have made in this universe we call eve. What did you learn if anything?
4. Give some sage advice for people who will be here long after my plot license is dead and gone and somebody else is using my face.
It says "Just do one of the following" but as this game has shown, you simply cannot be too careful.
1) With 21 billion ISK in my pocket? With that much loose change, the game would be less worrying about saving up and hounding over my cash flow. I'd train up the skills I needed to fly a Covert Ops frigate (duct tape flavored, of course), strap on some probes, and go do the one thing I've wanted to do since day one: Explore. Find myself DED Complexes, Hacking and Salvaging sites, new mining locations. And when I found that Wormhole? Jump in, and make sure I BREAK that hole, so I get lost. Find a nice little hiding spot, drop the probes, turn on the cloak, and go nuts in W-Space.
Whatever wasn't being used to fund these giant exploration escapades would go to my corp. It's a fairly new corp, recovering from a severe amount of away-time, and I'd love to watch them succeed.
2) My biggest dream in EVE that I'm worried won't come true is flying through Wormhole Space, generally as the Logistics flier (such as Remote Rep) to help my team against the Sleepers, then get to Salvage in my little Hurricane. I love Salvage, and I love the concept of exploring, especially Wormhole space. I just fear that I'll never be "quite good enough" or "the right allocation of SP" to get into what I want to do. After all, everyone seems to be after more combat pilots. Not many seem to recruit actively for that Salvager/RR pilot.
3) The biggest mistake I've made in EVE was convincing myself that "joining the right corp" would lead me to the career I wanted to play. I didn't devote enough time personally to trying out the different aspects of EVE before jumping into a corp, and when I said I didn't know what I wanted to do, they started directing me towards what THEY wanted me to do. After leaving the corp and finally just setting out to try whatever came to mind, I've found the career I enjoy most, and a career I enjoy while I try to fund/train for that.
4) The sage advice for those who will come after your license has expired? Look at those skill points. Now throw that number out the window. Spend some time experimenting with the game and find out what's funnest for YOU. And once you have that in mind, then start your training. Skill Point totals and training plans and blah else matter little so long as you, personally, are having fun.
Best of luck in your endeavors, pilot, assuming you're not corpse dust already.
