When i made my character, i made him Minmatar, in the Military/Special Forces... because i wanted to be a badass pirate, and Minmatar reminded me of the Narn from Babylon5.
When i realized i needed isk to do anything, i started mining, and mining, and mining... =D
Then, just as i started getting the hang of hauling my veldspar back to station, i got the bright idea to sell my ore in Amarr, where i could make a whole million isk extra!. I set destination! from Caldari space.
Thats when i met Dead Parrot Shoppe. In Rancer. They ransomed my ship for 100s of millions more than i ever touched, blew my ship up. Then ransomed & blew my pod up as well
I loved it, i wanted to go get revenge, which drove me to start doing missions and training combat skills
What i loved the most about my early time in eve was the slow progression to get bigger and bigger ships. I remember how exciting it was to finally get my very own Rupture cruiser. And when i finally got my first Tempest! which i fit with Shield, armor and hull tank mods. Along with large and medium autocannons and artiliary, and some missiles on there too.
So i missioned, and missioned, and missioned, and missioned
One day i realized i had enough standings to anchor a tower. My current corp had mostly disbanded, i was left with CEO position, I created a new corp with my standings, anchored some highsec towers, and ran a pair of highsec research towers in Lonetrek region
Im not sure about today, but at the time it was really good isk. I could research BPO packs and sell them with enough profit to pay for the fuel. I still remember it was Lady Patricia who sold me the fuels. She'd haul it right to the systems i needed and sold it cheaper than jita prices. She once made a mistake, and had delivered the correction before i had even noticed, and let me keep the rest.
I started to look into invention, but i didn't like the chance-based nature of it, and didn't want to try invention until i had trained my skills to 5, to avoid waste. And since my corp miners needed an orca, i ended up training for that, and a Rorqual, which i named "PodPooper" because all i could do with it was make jumpclones.
The corp really never took off, people left and found better corps. I packed up my POS's, shut down my corp, and joined the first corp in a nullsec alliance that would take me. U-208, in the Blade. alliance. I got to fight with IT alliance. Discovered the wonders of nullsec ratting, and all the isk! Eventually u208 closed up, and i traveled from one nullsec corp to another. Some great, some horrible.
My favorite time was when i was in TEST, back when they were flying with goons in the "TESTagram" area. I still remember the nightly blops fleets, and reading erotic stories over teamspeak.
Today i'm with PWNN in SMA alliance. The alliance is relaxed, they dont **** on you if you lose a carrier while having fun, like other more elitist alliances. Which is great because my elitist corp likes to doomsday our own members suitcase carriers when we get drunk =D
My suggestion to newbies is avoid small corps/alliances, you will only end up playing solo most of the time. They cant provide the level of multiplayer fun that a large corporation can. And dont wait "until youre ready for nullsec". You'll never be ready for nullsec until you lose things in nullsec! Don't be afraid to join a nullsec alliance early in your career, you wont regret it. Large alliances provide "ship replacement programs" which will pay you to lose ships. In SMA you can make 3 million isk for every caracal you lose. Large alliances are very newbie friendly. Never not a Rifter.
I will still get epic revenge on the Dead Parrot Shoppe, one day...
