Hi Everyone,
Little background on myself
-25 years old
-Works full time (In IT)
-Games every day
-No family commitments (wife/gfs)
-Have been trying to get into EVE for a while
-Can probably commit 5-10 hours of gameplay per week
So I've signed up for trial accounts probably 2-3 times over the last few years. But have never signed up for a full account. Now I'm at a point in my life where I really think EVE would be something that I can get into, and would want to (I think the game is really suited to what interests me) also just think its really cool.
But here is my question. Given that I work full time, and want to make sure I do preserve my livelyhood outside of EVE how would you recommend I get the most out of the game?
I work 9-5, can probably play an hour per weeknight, and a couple of hours per day Sat/Sunday. What is the best way to get into the game?
I've downloaded the ISK guide, and plan on reading all three of the PDFs over the next little while on the train. But is there a rough path you veterans would recommend I follow for the first few months? To ensure I don't get lost in the abyss and turned off from the game?
So far I plan on doing the following:
-Do Tutorial missions
-Read ISK guides
-Join a corp
Any advice is welcome! I want to get into this game, and make the most out of the time I can commit to it. So hit me with the goods! Skill trees, general advice, recommended corps to join for a newb... hit me with it all!!
Cheers,
-Mako

Thanks for the response people!
I feel like knowing what skills to start training early on is super important as well. Any tips on core skills that I should start queuing up for training right away?

start screwing with people locally and you will quickly make friends and enemies .
find a player corp, we are the meat of the content here so do play with us.
most of the players i know are grown ass working men with family's so dont worry about time,
it is what it is and a good corp should enable you to find and make content within the time you have available.
the trick is finding one that suits you and dose not suck at eve.
Engineering , armor and/or shields , drones , gunnery and/or missiles .
anything in those tabs are considered core skills as they affect pretty much every ship in the game, definitely where i would start.
Thanks! Probably the most usable advice I've been given so far! After I'm done the intro missions I shall start messing with people lmao... probably lose a ship or two in the process I'm sure haha |

Thanks for all the tips guys and gals.
Little update, last night was playing for a little while before heading to hockey. Was trying to warp to an "anomaly" which I was under the impression were asteroid belts... I was wrong... Day 1= 1 Ship destroyed LOL
And yah, as per your advice I think that I will buy 1 plex to get the ball rolling after I purchase a subscription to the game.
Also think that exploration and PVP are probably what I will want to get into to start.
