Oh boy.
Really hard game to like. Mostly sitting scared and clueless in some station watching the skills tick down.
Getting paranoid, angst.
Should do the SoE epic arc but cant even choose a proper ship, cant even fit any ships. Always picking wrong turrets, tanks or overloading capacitor.
Going for a ride in my IS-7. I now Im feared in that beast, no hustle.

you never learn how to fly a ship unless you undock in it. so just do it, worst case scenario you buy a new one. keep it cheep, t1 fit if your going somewhere you suspect your going to be loosing it. shoot some rats, shoot some players, run some missions, figure out what works and what doesn't for you.
as for fitting your ship, a quick google search for any ship will bring up various different fit ideas, some will be better than others, but it gives you a starting place to work from. the e-uni wiki has fits for most ships, although some of them are a bit out of date. it still gives you a place to start. |

Simple truth: you will die!
The idea in Eve is to make more ISK then you loose. You will loose your ship, don't be afraid of it. Use it to kill enough stuff that you have the money to build a new and better one.
To choose the right fitting take a look ar o.smium.org. That will give you ideas which you most likely need to tone down to fit your skills. Look at the ships in the class you want to fly and search for one that has bonusses for the thing you want to do aka weapon bonuses to blow things up or tanking bonus to last longer. Warp out if things get to hard, recharge tank and get in again. Takes time but saves your ship. If you use shield tank get out when you take armor damage, with armor tank get out at 30% armor. Better loose the side then the ship.
The fear of death is mostly exaggerated. It's highly unlikely that someone, apart from NPCs, will kill you in High Sec. It may happen but it is very unlikely. Never happened to me in 1 year in HS. |

If you want more WoT-like experience - no angst, no paranoia, just fleet up and shoot other players - try joining Red versus Blue for some quick newbie frigate PvP.

I offered some advice in NCQ&A and you seemed like you were about to take the plunge and join a nullsec corp with your PvP account.
Let me urge you again - don't worry about training skills for PvP. Just get in there and do it. If you join a new player nullsec corp, they'll give you frigates to get blown up in. You'll have skill plans offered that guide you to various roles. Skill points are a distraction. Waiting to train into some kind of 'bigger ship' does not get you better at PvP - ships fulfil roles, they do not represent some sort of levelling up as in other games.
This game is best enjoyed with other people. Of course you are going to lose faith sitting in a station waiting for a skill queue. What's worse is that even if you do finally get to that skill goal, you'll probably be disillusioned once you fly the ship - probably by being blown up into an expensive wreck a short while after undocking.
Take the plunge. Go fight in cheap ships, with people that will advise you, and probably become firm friends as you share dangers. The adrenaline buzz in this game is like nothing else, but only out in dangerous, cruel space.
Feel free to evemail me if I can offer any personal advice.
Humanity has won its battle. Liberty now has a country.

Some advice from a fellow newbie. Don't be scared. Look for ship fits on Eve University to match what you want to do, then get out there and do it. Pay attention to your weapon range and set your obit range to that and get in the fray and shoot stuff. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. You will get blown up. Don't be afraid of it, expect it, do what you can to avoid it, and if it happens just learn from it, get refitted and back out there.
This game is awesome.
When you're not playing watch youtube vids because there is some awesome and informative stuff out there. |

Just about every post you've made her has been some kind of complaint or whine. And yet you've just started the game, a game many thousands of other people have played and enjoyed comfortable for more than a decade.
Pretty good indicator that the problem is your expectations and lack of patience. Regardless of what CCP says or tries to do, EVE is not and can not be a game for everyone. |

Eve isn't the type of game where you can read enough to know everything about an activity before you've done it. You can only learn by doing and yes, you will die a lot.
If you ask me for advice I would definitely say 'join a group!'. In WoT you are part of a team and if you die your team can still win, not only that but as part of a group there's far less chance of you being the unlucky sod who gets primaried and blown up. In a group you will have less pressure on you to make learning the ropes easier, and you'll be flying with experienced players who know what to do. Flying with an experienced group will quickly get you up feeling competent in a fleet.
Flying solo you have only your actions to blame for your success or failure, and no offense but as a new player you will have literally no idea of what you should be doing. Once you feel more sure of your abilities you can go off solo if that's what you want, but there's all sorts of playstyles in this game. Try play with a few groups and get a feel for what you like, find your niche and master it.

In Eve, it is best to join a corp once you have your bearings and some ISK. Use numbers to mask your inadequacies, and benefit from corp services (like skill plans, free ships, social interaction, intel sharing). Once you're a bit more competent and losing a ship isn't the end of the world for you, start venturing out on your own. You might go your own way and lone wolf it, or you might find another group more focused on the activities you find fun.
Playing Eve solo as a newbro can be fun if you like the challenge or the therapeutic repetition of missions and mining, but for most it just kind of sucks. |

Frigate/Destroyer should help you deal with SOE epic arc just fine until you reach that bastard Dagan. At that point, upsize into cruisers.
As for learning how to fit your ship properly, read the following:
http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Fitting_Guidelines (bottom has links to even more guides) http://www.isktheguide.com/ (somewhat outdated but the chapter about fitting your ship is still relevant now)
Yes, there's alot of reading to be done here. Eve Online is full of reading. Can't quite get away from that. Good luck out there.

It is Angst, not angst and you need to find a good corporation. Go to faction warfare, choose a faction, roam with your friends, then start roaming just with a wingman, then go roam alone from time to time. When you roam alone you will be so busy with alt tabbing, checking stats and kill history of potential opponents which involves a ton of multitasking (all people in system to quickly look up), and so forth, if you do this, you will learn a ton, why they fit such modules, how you could make use of them, etc, you start piecing things together. Please, do not be one of those drones that just ctrl-clicks, go join a good FW corp now and get some fun times. |

Coming from a very "cautious" player, this game can definitely kill your enthusiasm sometimes. But when you start feeling like that, you need to go get yourself killed. Jump in a frigate and go WH hunting and scan down some relic/data sites. Learn to use your D-Scan effectively and have fun sitting on the edge of your seat the entire time.
Expect death, it will happen and you can count on it. This game is designed for it and every player has been through it. It's all about the lessons you take from it.
My recommendation is to find the thing you are most afraid of doing and go do it. You may like the rush it gives you. |

Hi Op, I recommend at least joining the Eve Uni public channel and the newbie help channel. There are plenty of people more than happy to provide you with good advice, ship fits, and all the other things you may need to get started in the game and get over that fear of undocking.
I know the game can be pretty daunting but I promise it's a ton of fun once you get past the initial hurdle of "what the ---- do I do in this sandbox!?!?" |

You fit the wrong things because you haven't spent any time figuring out what works. You're not going to be very good at this game if you don't actually get out there and play it. |
