I have just returned after a four year layoff. I have noticed that hacking has a mini game. i currently would like to get some practice in 'how to play the mini-game'. However, I am not really good at it. Actually I suck at it. is there any intro sites in EvE that assist someone as clueless as I am? |

There are some videos on youtube. I've not found one that I would call great but I've not looked in a while either. When I was trying to learn the hacking mini-game after I had returned from a break I had watch several videos and read up a bit all through links that I found googling the topic.
I found some tips here and there that were helpful but most players said that you kind of had to get the feel for it and I found that to be true. You can read up on it and find out what the various things are and what they mean so that you understand what is going on but after that you just have to do the trial and error thing.
Or at least that's how it was for me. |

CCP's official training video. The numbers in the boxes tell you how far away (how many nodes) from the goal (or from a bonus upgrade). |

As a general rule, you want to work to the opposite side of the grid from where you start. Other then that there is no real strategy as it is mostly luck. To improve your chances of success, just train the necessary character skills and take the appropriate ships, such as a cheetah fitted mods that increase your probability of success such as the t2 code breaker. In short, mini-game gives the appearance of being an actual game where player action controls the outcome - but it is all illusory. The outcome is actually decided by a combination of luck, character skills, ship type and mod fittings.

my only issue is the highsec version of the game seems very simplified from what you can see in null sec hacking sites. I tried learning to hack in highsec and ended up just bulldozing the sites and there wasn't any challenge or anything to learn. jumping out into nullsec I pretty much had to relearn everything on the fly in the first site I went to.

A lot of the tutorial content I've found is rather outdated now tbh though I have to agree Pew's vids are probably the most detailed in terms of all round content and they give you a good idea of what you'll need. That and he's easy to listen to compared to some of the others I found who either rush through important stuff or have voices that make me want to drag my nails down a blackboard just to drown them out.

Yes, numbers, in the circles that you haven't clicked on yet.
