No regrets here, but I think I stuck in one corp too long (though under two names)

Nothing I really regret doing.

1:
Go on a break of a year while keeping my account active, but still manage to have a skill training only half of the time 
2:
Joining RKK
3:
I started my EvE career as a trader and later miner, luckily I realized my mistake before it ruined all the fun in the game for me 
4:
Doing mining ops with dimensionZ, he yells at you when you don't mine fast enough, or when you manage to get your hauler blow up by gate rats

1. Mistakes you did with your training.
selected "fighter" instead of "custom" on the char creation, didn't train learning skills.
2. Mistakes with a type of corp. you joined.
no mistakes with corps i've joined they all developed my style of play and my attitude in game which is how i like it.
3. Mistakes you did in your choices to make ISK.
Never managed to make any
4. Other mistakes (the rest here).
Sold my love on the forums resulting in meeting verone and the other snigg lads who took advantage of me. (not really, was the best thing i ever did )

1. Mistakes you did with your training.
Mining 4, Refining 4, GAH!
2. Mistakes with a type of corp. you joined.
None really. Though I have just quit current corp to carebear it for a while....
3. Mistakes you did in your choices to make ISK.
Have given tens and tens of millions away to corpies and other random people I met. Then when I quit (forever!!!!) I gave away EVERYTHING I owned. When I restarted 3 months later that hurt a lot... (Though excorp's CEO bunged me 200mill to help out, and Shark Daquiri & the Hippo helped too :) )
4. Other mistakes (the rest here).
Decided that gate camping in Amamake would be a fun thing to do while drunk and went from +2.6 sec status to -9.9 in one evening. Am still rebuilding back to a level so I can fly about freely!

1.) Didn't reroll once I found out what the attributes actually do. I put one or two points into charisma at character creation. :P
My other major mistake was in training Matari instead of Gallente when I needed a turret boat. Gallente are uber and keep getting buffed (drone changes, blaster changes), while Matari just keep falling further and further behind (tried the new typhoon, wasn't impressed). I could go on about how Hail L autocannon ammo is useless due to the velocity penality, while Void L blaster ammo is uber (in fact, Void L is currently one of the "win" buttons in PvP), and how Spike L owns Tremor L due to tracking and range. I could talk about DPS vs. alpha strike, and how alpha strike is becoming less and less useful.
Right now, it's just gotten to the point where Minmatar are becoming more and more sub-par compared to the other races; if they don't get a real buff soon, I may have to quit flying them.
2.) I can't really think of any. At the time I joined any given corp, they were right for me. Some of the evolved into something differet that wasn't my style, however, and the closest thing I can think of to a mistake was in staying too long in such corps after they were no longer fun.
3.) Um...can't really think of any. I can't stand mining, so I got the NPCing-in-a-raven part down perfectly.
4.) I've occasionally missed starting a new skill on time. One time I didn't log on to a week due to RL issues, and forgot that my skill had finished training right at the very beginning.

I came back to EVE in the middle of beta after I could not start the client back when the beta was still young.

1. Character creation
- Chose Intaki ('cept Intaki are waaay the coolest from an RP perspective)
- Chose industrialist skills and attributes
- Made a really bad portrait (fixed that mistake spring of 2004)
2. Mistakes you did with your training.
- Mining V
- Astrogeology V
- Deep Core Mining II
- Minmatar Frigate II
3. Mistakes you did in your choices to make ISK.
- I DIDN'T buy a lot of +3 implants during Gemini to sell during Castor inspite of seing they'd rice in price.
- I didn't get RPM on my science-heavy main until... a few months ago.
4. Other mistakes (the rest here).
- During one night I scouted a blob in 0.0 and found both of them to be bubbled. I don't scout blobs like that any more.
- I once wrote in so called "l33t sp33k". This is by far my biggest mistake ever.

1. Kinda wish I would have trained more combat early on, altho im a kickin' carebear when I choose to be :p
2. So far I have been pretty good with corp joining. As long as your an agreeable person you can find a home just about anywhere in EVE. Show your good qualities and you will move up in the ranks and have some power. mmmm power
3. So far I have been good about not making any real isk mistakes. I sold an alliance-mate a raven recently tho, on a promise to pay for it, and have only gotten like half back... Might have to hit up one of his corpmates for the remaining and transfer his debt to them 
I have given alot of isk to noobs, which isn't a regret. Pay-it-forward in EVE works in a huge way. I find that giving isk to people I pirate to help them replace their stuff keeps them in eve, and sometimes develops friendships.
4. Quit for like 6 months, didnt know I would come back or that you could put a long skill on.
Mining in a 0.2 or 0.3 alone, letting drones take out spawns, wasn't watching local and lost my covetor and strippers, crippling my wallet for a while until I got to a point where I could rat effectivly in 0.0.
Smack-talked too much in beginning during station camps with war-decs. Wish I could have seen that being mature will get you out of station and let you duel your enemies, and sometimes them even let you stop at armor and stuff just because they respect you for coming out.

1. Mistakes you did with your training.
nothing really, i guess training for some caldari junk
2. Mistakes with a type of corp. you joined.
Not really it seems half of the industrial corps or lesser pvp corps i was in when iwas a "younger" char, got war decced by people in my current corp (in there own respective corps)
3. Mistakes you did in your choices to make ISK.
Dont know
i sold my hawt caldari spec alt cos i was low on isk
now i wish i hadnt, bout it.
4. Other mistakes (the rest here).
Corp hopping
I was in general in my current corp during the duration of of the last 12 months, while being in other corps, never fitted in elsewhere just sat on ts with the guys all the time wishing i hadnt left. Made my employment history pretty big and pathetic.

1. Personal mistake. Training gunnery skills when I should have done missiles. I liked them better but as eve changes ebbed and flowed and the favor of weapons changed, it just lead me full circle back to these. Huge waste of skill points. What's that sound? Oh, it is 6.5 million skill points going *whoosh* as they go down the drain.
3. Should have stuck to NPCing in 0.0.

1. Didn't realise for a while that skills train while you're offline! Had my machine on 24/7 for about 2 weeks!
Trained a month and a half of mining skills
2. None
3. Tried mining. Soon realised it was boring, and missions/loot/bounties make money quicker.
4. Thought there must be something good about faction ships, and lost several before realising that they're just isk sinks.

4. Never had enough RL time to play to get immersed into the virtual world of EVE. Feels like my whole EVE experience from Beta 6 on has been one big lack of time to play the game "properly".
Sometimes I think it has been just a big waste of time, as I can never take my characters to their full potential...
It's a crappy feeling actually...

Didn't restart my character after 4 days when I realised my attributes were crap.
Didn't club together with two other peeps to buy the Cap Recharger 2 BPO for 20 billion when I had the chance.
Everything else is fine :)

1. Didn't train learning skills early enough, plus had crappy stats cos I didn't know what was important.
2. Joined a corp that was mostly USA based when I wasn't
3. Didn't start research early enough.
4. Took a 9 month break. I should have carried on paying to train skills, even if I wasn't playing

1. Trained lasers to be me weapons of choice.
2. None. Both corps I've been in (Karjala Inc./FLA and EVOTECH/ISS) have been great for my needs.
3. Entered 0.0 before getting any gunnery skills.
4. Reprocessed wrong stuff like True Sansha hardener, bought 1000 instead of 100 of some mundane item needed for a mission, stuff like that.

1. Mistakes you did with your training.
Didn't start a combat char at retail. Then when I made one 6 months later (first EVE^2 offer) I trained mining 4 (hidden belts 4tl). Later on I also trained small projectile to level 1 by accident. It's the only gunnery skill of mine that isn't 5.
2. Mistakes with a type of corp. you joined.
No regrets, though if I had the chance again I'd probably join m0o for a while.
3. Mistakes you did in your choices to make ISK.
When research agents were released, my first field of study was Quantum Physics I believe. It got me a small capacitor battery II print after a week and like 100 RP. Then sold it for 10 mil and switched to Caldari Starship and trained the skill up to 5 and got me 5 more Caldari Starship agents. Then a while later when the CPR nerf came, cap recharger II's began skyrocketing. Oh and ofcourse I never got anything ever again.
4. Other mistakes (the rest here).
Being a nub too long in the beginning. I.e. mining gneiss in 0.5 while others were ninja-mining ark in 0.0, or never caring about getting more offices until it was too late (Gehi 4tw).

1. Mistakes you did with your training.
mining drones lvl1, mining lvl4, and i can use tractor beams
2. Mistakes with a type of corp. you joined.
no mistake so far 
3. Mistakes you did in your choices to make ISK.
thought hauling 15mio tritanium 10 jumps with an iteron mk3 for 3mio gain is a good way to make money
4. Other mistakes (the rest here).
becoming a forum addict, beeing in the same alliance as woody, not convoing woody every now and then
