Did you kill anyone yet?
You should get to work on that one. |

No. I'll play it safe for now. I don't want to get in over my head until I'm ready. |

I might go for the Sisters of Eve Epic Arc. How prepared should I be? You're never 'ready' until you try it. Grab something cheap and make it go splat up against something else. If the other thing didn't splat, figure out why, and try to splat it again.
Splat splat.

This is good advice. Death and a good corp are invaluable in this game. Get a t1 frig, die, figure out why you died, if you can't ask your corp mates, go out and do something different, die again, rinse and repeat. One day you will find you are dying less. |

I'm always pro trial&error ... but throwing cheap frigs at somebody if you have no clue what you do won't teach you a lot, because you are dead within 10s. You need to have a basic understanding of PvP, ships and modules to learn something from such a fight. The best is to team up and get some guidance or watch a couple of combat videos from other pilots first.

Supplement the trial and error with solid research and you're golden. Fun + learning, best way to go about it, instead of researching ad infinitum and never trying anything, or vice versa.

That makes it sound like gathering enough ISK to buy PLEX does not take that long at all. I imagined that it'd be much harder to gather the ISK to get PLEX.
If you can get similar numbers with mission running, then I haven't run into any agents like that. I've only got access to level 1 agents at the moment.
That said, I am on a Trial Account.
I just use a Dominix with T2 sentries and T2 guns. Lazors in my case because I shoot sansha but what ever works for you local rats. Also I am in very crappy null sec space I think it's like -0.1 or -0.2. With missions the key is to speed running them and just churning out the LP. Level 3's will pay you better than level 4's until you get your skill points up enough to lay down some decent dps.
Once that you can fly a crusier even halfway decently you can belt rat in null sec and that should be able to earn you decent isk. Your bounty ticks will probably only be like 6 million or so but the occasional faction spawn has the potential to pay out big as in well over 100 million big. Of course you could just get faction ammo but that's the RNG / one-armed bandit aspect to belt ratting.

No he isn't.
I barely had half a dozen useful skills at II at that point, most of them were barely bought and trained to 1 because I had to waste 90% of my training time on learning skills with no mechanical benefit to actual gameplay whatsoever, just to get to a point that was _still_ slower training speed than he had on day 1.
He's in a much _better_ place than many if not most Eve players were a week in, SP-wise.
But yeah, to address the meta-thread, learning to fit and fly ships is like 90% messing around with google and 10% thinking you've got it until you get blowed up real good. Mastery of Eve is basically reversing that proportion. When you're going to google to remind yourself which meta item has the better tracking upgrade instead of to remind yourself how the actual tracking works... that's Eve mastery. Also... put down the computer, stand up, and go outside, because you're officially on the internet too much. |

Intent, an appropriately fit ship, and a good target are about all you need. |

The absolutely biggest noobmistake is the belief that you have to "get ready".
There are people waiting years and they still say it.
You can not even tell when you are ready.
All you need to do to be ready is start doing it.
Remember ... it's a game. You will lose inevitably.

The thing about "I'll wait until.I'm ready." Is that pvp is a thing that finds you even if you aren't looking for it. I commonly hear the "I'm not ready for pvp yet" line on the TeamSpeak server belonging to the corp my spy alt is in as I scroll down to the declare war button.
No amount of mining or running missions will make you ready for pvp. |

The biggest ship I have right now is a destroyer that I'm starting to fit with weapons and defenses at the moment. Since I just started playing in the last week on trial, I want to get a handle on all of EVE's mechanics first.
NOTE: I've already lost an Incursus once. It was a group of pirates packing a lot of heat and a few powerful ships, so I know what it's like to lose a ship already. |

Ships are expendable
Pods are expendable
Your time is what counts . . . will it be fun or boring you to tears.
Now I do know some folks enjoy the meditative aspects of mining, I am ok with that. But do not make Eve a job unless CCP has sent you a contract. You are, as Sole said, playing a game. a damn immersive one which can be a hobby bordering on obsession but a game.
Ready or not go out there and do things

Never intended it to be thus. I never watched the show, so I didn't know that character even existed. |
