I'm still new and I am not sure how to use both upgrade hardpoints and rig slots some information on these would be good in a video tutorial I think.
HOW many times do I get this exact question in FNA chat! Seriously you devs should hang around in the newbie corps for a bit-you will quickly learn what are the most common questions
As for the question-rig slots are for rigs. Rigs are like implants for your ships (and are made with salvaged materials). Percentage bonus to your ship (and most have a percentage drawback), permanent (you can remove them, but you lose the rig), and horrendously expensive. Few are cheaper than 8M, and most are 15M+. I would not recommend putting rigs on any ships cheaper than a battlecruiser.
And what I would like to see
Decent fitting for the races-I can't count how many Gallente newbs put on shield boosters!
The strategies behind tanking (i.e. armor reppers to cover for incoming damage, armor hardeners/membranes to make each point of armor count for more, which is synenergistic with reppers, and cap rechargers to keep the whole shebang going).
The very basic skills such as engineering and electronics.
Tactics (such as straight-line long-range-weapon kites for PvE).
Specialization is key. If you try to do more than one thing at once, you won't do well at anything
This goes for mixing weapon ranges. Get that in the tutorial, PLEASE!
Salvage = ISK.
The Villard Wheel problem.
Finishing the in-game tutorial (wag the carrot of 2 free ships, 500k ISK, 2 +1 implants, skillbooks, and basic modules, plus invaluable instruction).
Starting race/skills matter not.
Damage control units = good.
Wouldn't hurt to have a second tracking and missiles guide.
Cloaking, staying safe in lowsec, etc.
NEVER, EVER go in a ship before you have the skills to handle it. A pilot who takes out a battleship in a month gets an insurance payout in a month and 4 hours.
