doseph, Let me make this clear: It is never to late to get in on the action. Your skillpoints will not be the limiting factor in this game.
If you want to get in on the action, look at the various alliances in game and find out the corps that are looking for new members. Granted, most want someone with atleast 2 mil SP or higher, but there are always ones that take younger characters. The first thing you need to remember is this: you can always be useful for pvp/combat.
The best learning experience for ANYONE for pvp is that of a tackler. All it takes is a cheap frigate and a few days worth of skills to be able to fly a tackling ship. Remember, you don't need to be the best damage dealer to make a difference. After playing this game for a week or so I was getting antsy and wanted to see 0.0 and fleet battles that I heard people mention here and there. I then found out my old Planetside gaming syndicate Sturmgrenadier had a corp in EVE.
In my first week in EVE I was already in fleet battles against Band of Brothers/Xelas et al. At the time, SGHQ/VC/IMP were mortal enemies of BoB and friends. This was my first introduction to EVE politics. I remember all the stories the people told about such and such. About how this corp did this and that corp did that. And I was getting in on the action from day one. I didn't have the 30+ mil SP, didn't have the tech 2 skills needed for things. But I got in on the action from day one. Learn and learn and learn.
It is never to late to see the large scale of this New Eden or to partake in it's political and historical landscape. Look at my character. Barely over a year old. I have met some of the most well known characters in New Eden politics. I have participated in some of the most historic fleet battles in EVE (9CG as part of the CODA forces led by Xirtam) and some of the new battles that you may be reading about in the COAD part of the forums. History is always in the making, and today's politics are making this one of the most historic conflicts in EVE history.
For a primer on the history of EVE, read up on the forums here, especially the COAD part. Look at the various histories of the corps/alliances. See where things are at now. Eve is ever changing. Eve is not static. It's never too late to get involved. Jump in the deep end and learn how to swim :-)
