Joshua Sukotto Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2015.04.08 14:41:04 - [1] - Quote Just like the title states, where do I go from here? I'm currently on a trial account and having a great time but now I need some direction. With the 20-some-odd days I have left before I delve into subscribing to the game, I would like to utilize my time to make a decent amount of ISK.

Pick up a trade route and become a tycoon. Train up skills to fly a pirate cruiser. Do whatever you want, really. Making ISK will just happen.
Ned Thomas Signal Cartel EvE-Scout Enclave 1534	Posted - 2015.04.08 15:20:45 - [3] - Quote A brief summary of what is available to you can be found here Try not to get stuck in the idea of "I need to find ways to make ISK". Instead, find things that you enjoy doing, and then figure out how to make isk doing those things. For me, that was hauling, mining, ratting, and exploration. I slowly settled on exploration as my primary day to day activity because I genuinely enjoy going to all ends of the universe just to see what's out there. I could make much more isk by, say, sitting in a trade hub and being a market tycoon, but trade isn't really my thing. Also, about your trial and subscription: If you subscribe now, you won't lose the free time from your trial. You're subscription will simply begin at the end of your trial period. So you'll have the same amount of time, but no restrictions! Neat, right? Don't get lost alone - Join Signal Cartel, New Eden's premier haven for explorers! Onward to Thera with Eve Scout
Eve Solecist Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 925	Posted - 2015.04.08 15:25:36 - [4] - Quote Find a corp. Find friends. Play with them or at least talk with people. If you are active in local, that's a lot already. Going the solo route of course is nice too, but most people drop out because of that. This game is about player interaction ... ... that's what it excells at. This one is one of my better posts. You should see the others .... "I've tried to give up making sexual innuendos. But it's hard, so hard." -RoAnnon
Syrilian Ascending Angels 59	Posted - 2015.04.08 15:41:11 - [5] - Quote Experiment. Some may disagree with me on this, but you should do as much as possible early on until you find what you like to do. Diversify. Through this you will hopefully find something you really enjoy doing that you will be willing to spend your time devoting your SP to. And despite what some people will tell you you can make enough isk to do anything you want to do.
Solomar Espersei Quality Assurance 558	Posted - 2015.04.08 16:11:09 - [6] - Quote Make friends, join a corp and find something that interests you. EVE sucks as a solo game and most who try to play it that way, miss out on the fun and ultimately drop out. Don't be that guy. Join the rest of us who have found friends to fly with. Quality Assurance
ergherhdfgh Imperial Academy Amarr Empire 465	Posted - 2015.04.08 16:44:40 - [7] - Quote It seems to mostly have been said but I just want to back up what everyone else is saying. Make friends, join an active player corp of find random friends or join some public or semi public chat channels but make friends. Try out different things. Try as many things as you can even if you find something that you like maybe you'll like something else as well but try lots of stuff out. Once you figure out what you like doing figuring out how to make isk doing it usually is not that hard. This is an MMO it's about doing things with other people fleet up and have fun.

L'ouris Have Naught Subsidiaries 271	Posted - 2015.04.08 17:01:48 - [9] - Quote If you haven't yet: Head to arnon and check out the SOE epic arc. It's designed for new players and is a continuation of the new player experience.

It's designed for new players and is a continuation of the new player experience. Be aware that you may need help on the penultimate mission, it can be hard on newer players; which is by design. If you find that to be the case put a shout out in local, someone will generally respond as most of us have been there in the past. I've seen everything from newbies in frigates to older players in battleships and the like respond to a call for help with that mission. Civilized behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business. Nil mortifi sine lucre.

With the 20-some-odd days I have left before I delve into subscribing to the game, I would like to utilize my time to make a decent amount of ISK. The Sisters of EVE epic mission arc, "The Blood-Stained Stars", is typically next, though entirely optional. Talk to Sister Alitura in the Arnon system.

So far as I know, he is the NPC that is supposed to introduce players to fleeting.

Sabriz Adoudel Glorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Highsec CODE. 4960	Posted - 2015.04.08 23:44:45 - [19] - Quote Fit up a ship you can afford to lose, and look to get into a fight with another player. One thing I suggest is that you find a highsec system that isn't a newbie system (ideally security status 0.5), and fit an Atron with no defensive modules, only damage and two warp scramblers. Look for a player mining in a venture, and try to kill them (you need 2 scrams to prevent a venture escaping). You'll lose your ship to CONCORD, the highsec space police (hence using an Atron, which is cheap) and your mark might escape, but regardless, you'll get to experience player interaction. Or, get in a venture yourself, and try to pick fights with gankers and get away alive... Shoot everyone. Let the Saviour sort it out. I enforce the New Haliama Code of Conduct via wardec ops. Ignorance of the law is no excuse - read about requirements for highsec miners at www.minerbumping.com

Or, get in a venture yourself, and try to pick fights with gankers and get away alive... This is not right. You can't tell a noob to gank someone and leave out the consequences. You're shooting yourself in the foot with your, what I assume, good intentions. The consequences are a KillRight against you, OP, and loss of Security Status. Also will you legally be killable by anyone for fifteen minutes, as long as your Global Criminal Countdown lasts. Undocking in a ship with GCC will result in immediate loss. Every one will see you as flashy red in overview and docking at a station without people is advisable. A killright is something you get when you initiate aggression towards another player, in highsec and lowsec when you kill a capsule ... if I recall correctly. You can look this all up on google using the keywords I mentioned. I am not saying it's a bad thing to do, but you should be aware that there are consequences you will have to deal with. This one is one of my better posts. You should see the others .... "I've tried to give up making sexual innuendos. But it's hard, so hard." -RoAnnon

L'ouris Have Naught Subsidiaries 273	Posted - 2015.04.09 03:37:00 - [21] - Quote All that said.... It's still a good suggestion Honestly, it's not as bad as the wall of text makes it look or those folk in the starter corp chat say. Try it, know what's coming, and you will have already started to break from the herd :)

Missions give good rewards. I advise to be prepared before Chasing Shadow mission which a battlecruiser will drain cap. Two missions before Dagan
Lost Greybeard Drunken Yordles 564	Posted - 2015.04.10 08:46:07 - [23] - Quote Jonah Gravenstein wrote: Be aware that you may need help on the penultimate mission, I would actually say that "teach players to ask for help in local" is actually the intended lesson of Dagan. Pop off a request in Arnon and you'll get plenty of volunteers, usually. A lot of us from the old days when it was damned near impossible instead of just annoying have some... strong personal feelings about that ******* NPC.

Two missions before Dagan Yeah, but will a new-bro be able to fit a cruiser properly by the time they make it to that group of missions? I personally would advise against buying a cruiser until you can fit it properly. Also a T1 fit cruiser runs around what, 20m-30m depending on the ship. This would cost a substantial amount of ISK that a new bro would have amassed up to this point in the mission chain. #1 rule of EvE = Never fly what you can't afford to lose / replace.

Mance Pax Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 2	Posted - 2015.04.14 08:34:54 - [27] - Quote don't settle for mining in high-sec or just missions.. get in a cheap ship, and go all the way to null-sec, roam around, then try to get back! try exploration, astrometrics level 4, hacking and archaeology to level 4, too. lookup a fit for an exploration frigate, put just warp-core-stabilizers in the low-slots. this should cost less than 1mil isk. try your hand in high-sec systems, then go to low-sec FW systems, you will find a lot of data and relic sites there, most people in FW-systems are interested just in FW. also go into a wormhole, learn about safe-spots and d-scan, become the d-scan paranoid that you know you are. this is a bit of a solo path, and it may become boring. if you are more into PVP, enlist in a FW corporation, you will meet some people there, you will get advice on skills to train and fits to use, you will plan fights together, you will become involved in group pvp. you will probably get killed, but some people are nice and talk to the newbs they have just killed, they give advice, sometimes even isk to compensate for your ship and your precious +2 implants. whatever you do, don't play only solo and/or high-sec stuff
