The best thing you can do is join a nice corp that has a mix of experienced and new players who are friendly and will teach you all you need to know and provide lots of fun in whatever area the corp focuses on. You will have much more fun and get much farther in a corp than trying to go at it all solo.

It is not too late to play eVe but I will not lie to you. You will never ever catch up with the older players.
Prolly the post with the most truth in it.
You will not win a real 1versus1 with an older player for like over a year, you wonŠt be able to make as much isk as older players.
But you could also carebear for half a year and buy a nice old char with isk.

If you start playing now you'll be where the three year olds are now in around three years. Probably less actually. What more could you want?

No it's not too late : for sure you can't fly capital's ships BUT in every big battle tacklers are a big part of the issue of the fight, you can get big fun even with a small ship.. ask to goons  .

try get a grip of how skills and ships work... many people go for a trial for 14 days and then start a fresh character to avoid some typical errors/mistakes. Now is a good time to start a character - getting around 800k skills from start and having many choices to specialize in... Most people can easily compete pretty early when they have spend a few weeks going for assault frigates and/or interceptors.
Getting into a player corp that shares some interests will be a good start as they can guide and you will hopefully have someone to fly with while learning the game.

EVE can seem overwhelming at the start, and other people seem so much more advanced, but it is never too late for anyone to start playing. You wont be fighting in large alliance fleet battles for a number of months, but it can happen sooner than you think. Eve is so great because as the more experienced players are flying their capital ships, you can be a tackler for instance, playing a crucial role in holding the targets in place.
In a fleet battle situation like that, you may think you are just a peon, but you're not. If there was noone to stop the enemy from warping, then your team would have a hard time getting kills.
You will soon be battleship capable and these are very useful and commonly used in fleet battles too. It doesnt take as long to achieve as you think.
My #1 peice of advice to you would be to sit back and enjoy this period in your character's life. When you are new the vastness and complexity of the game seems overwhelming, and you are learning and discovering new things every day. That time was definately my favourite time for me playing eve. You dont have to save the world today, you can always do it tomorrow. Just take it as it comes, try out different types of professions, make new friends and enjoy all of the new knowledge youll be getting every day.

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 :-)

starting now is even better than it was 3+3/4 years ago.......theres more in the game theres more people to interact with and also its a lot easier to get ships now than it was then you can be a fully combat active pilot in some of the best alliances around and the pve content is miles better these days
the only thing i would say would be a pain now is the switching of 2-3 hours skills which im glad i no longer have to do
