TLDR probably of no interest to you if you don't like reading like I do
OK well I'm working towards 'launching' my corp and making it public. Part of my purpose for this is new player orientation. With that in mind I am compiling a set of links regarding various subjects for our 'guides' section of our forums.
What would be nice though I thought would be properly written dedicated guides. So I thought as well as ask everyone what would be there top 5 links that best helped you to learn EVE, I would ask..
if you like writing and are knowleagble on any particular subject in EVE, have you any interest in poducing an article to be posted on the co-op forums?
And for every one else what would be your top 5 best links that helped you learn EVE?
Should you post EVELOPEDIA*5 or THEFORUMS*5, I'll give you extra points for originality but deduct some for wasting your time

Frankly this forum never ceases to amaze me.
Post 'CCP should develop...' or ' Rate the avatar above you's belly button fluff' , mention Wis or Dust and bam 6 pages within a couple of hours.
Ask a sensible question and getting an answer is like trying to get blood from a stone.

You took away evelopedia and the forums for the answer, what else are we suppose to say?

ok mr sadpants, i will help. As far as sites go, I would have to say
EVELOPEDIA Wensley's Solo Rifter Guide EVE-Survival This awesome youtube vid for lowsec agression mechanics Eve uni's wiki (PI for me, but great general info)
There you go. But listen, the reason you aren't getting much help is because if you don't know this stuff already, then you aren't going to be much help and you aren't going to do much of a service to new players (imo).
Good luck and may your path lead you to lowsec. |

Ahh OK I get you now. Thread fails because it hasn't got enough oppurtunity to insult people or anything to do with isk.
So how about gimme your top 5 links ( excluding forum and evelopedia ) throw in your best shot at insulting me, and I'll put up 2 10 mill bonuses, one for best links IMO, and one for best insult ( as judged my me, insults without link list will not be deemed eligible for the bonus )

Not so much rage just puzzlement and perhaps a lttile frustration at the time and effort some people seem to put into there forum PvP but they can't take 1 minute to copy paste a couple of bookmarks out there browser to help someone out (and by proxy perhaps help a lot of people out), doesn't really speak well for the community spirit of the community IMO.

I got a EVE link list long as 2 of my arms, but also 4 years old, some links are dated, some now seem to lead to bot sites .
Just checked these ones which may be of some help.
BPO BCP improvement guide: http://www.kylania.com/eve/improve.php BPO calculator: http://zofu.no-ip.de/bpo Agent finder by chribba: http://www.eve-agents.com/ Invaluable resource: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ POS setup Price check: http://eve-central.com/ Data core research points calculator Character creation tips: http://www.wtfpwnbbq.com/Incursion/
Lemme know if you want more of this, may take a bit though am quite busy atm. Then again most info can be found in the wiki. -- This is not even a damage control blog. This is just right-click > self-destruct. (Abdiel Kavash) |

Frankly I didn't use much in the way of online guides to learn to play. Hell, I never even used EVEMon for my skills (and still do not). I'm crazy like that.
There are some sites that have been massively useful, though:
- Battleclinic Loadouts: http://eve.battleclinic.com/browse_loadouts.php - Good place for cookie cutter fits, horrible fits, and lots of trolling.
- Battleclinic Killboard: http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/index.php - Good place for even more horrible fits, plus good fits and "learning from the best" (seeing how very successful pilots fly their ships).
- Verite Influence Map: http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Verite/influence.png - Absolutely necessary if you want to discuss politics.
- Dotlan Eve Maps: http://evemaps.dotlan.net/ - Didn't like it at first (preferred Ombey's maps) but grew to really like Dotlan and now I use it on a daily basis.
- Eve Central - http://eve-central.com - "Do I go to Rens or to Jita to buy/fit a Jaguar cheaply?" Edit: I also run an Eve business with an alt, and the Eve Central API is invaluable to getting some insight into the market and allowing me to run profitably. That's probably not something a newbie would do, though.
- Google: http://google.com - Yes, I am an ******* and will link Google. If you know your Google-fu you can find a lot of good-quality Eve info, despite it being scattered all over the place.
I have mostly learned how to fly by losing a lot (I mean a lot) of Rifters, and by talking to people. It's amazing how often someone who just killed you will actually give you tips on how to do better next time.
All that said, if you're looking for Eve "guide" writing, I really have to give myself a shameless plug: http://blackshell-eve.blogspot.com . I run a "lessons newbies learn the hard way" blog that I occasionally update. I have been told some of my content on there is amusing and perhaps even informative. If you'd like me to write something more serious (and have some ISK or other incentive ) then count me in as interested. |

Cheers guys much appreciated.
Gonna split the 20M between the 3 contributers (so 7 each say), as a little thanks.
Still a little suprised people haven't got more 'OMG you gotta read this' links perhaps EVE just isn't as widley written about as other games I've played as it has such a comprehensive WIKI supported.
But again thanks to those who took a little time and effort to help me out

like it's been said before eve u has the learning thing covered if you want to do it yourself and have to come to the forums to actually gather the knowledge in the form of links because you don't possess it yourself, well... it's kind of pointless and stupid
and to reject the best answers as trolling because you don't want to face up to the fact that you are a scrub and your shituniversity program will be about as fail as your manners and will only teach n00bs how to diaf in expensive ships while playing station games in empire.
and did I mention that your plan is stupid?
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

If you haven't notied yet. EVe's forums have turned into a home for all the Asshats to practice their asshatery. Pretty much every topic has atleast a dozen troll post or insults on every page, and actually getting any useable info requires reading several pages of them to get anything useful. Of coarse if CCP didn't have lack rules regarding the forums this wouldn't a problem.
