Hey, I started and am now on the fully paid up version of EVE and must say I'm enjoying it.
Taking the advice of advanced veterans, I'm training some learning skills up and then going to get gunnery and ship skills going.
Anyway, just saying hi, and I hope to see some PVP action when I'm more advanced..

Welcome to the show. Good thing your listening to the vets, many new players dont and pay dire for it. Just remember, when something bad happens (which is likely to happen sooner or later) just brush it off and get back to it.

And as a tip, train up your learning skills decently (level 3's across the board, preferably enough to have +3 implants too) and then move on to more fun skills :D
Otherwise, the first couple months you spend training all your learning skills to the max will be the most boring ones you've ever experienced

Well, I had originally planned to get my learning skills up to 4, as a mate who introduced me to eve, gave me some isk to start off, and got me the advanced learning skills.
I had hoped to get all basic learning skills to 4 then train the advanced ones to 3 then start "proper" skills. Would that be recommendable?

Train basic learning skills to 4th level - should take only a few days - then hone your frigate skills and try to make moneys as soon as possible for advanced learning skills. After that train them to 4th level - this should take about 1.5 weeks. Plug in some +2/+3 implants as soon as you can.
Don't spend a lot of time training learning skills unless you're confident you're going to keep playing EVE for 9+ months. Getting basic and advanced skills to level 4 only takes about 2 weeks and after those 2 weeks you're free to train other skills. However then you have to think of whether you see yourself playing EVE for the next year. If you do, you might consider training basic learning skills to level 5. Time you spend training on them will start paying off in around 9-14 months. The fifth level on each however takes 5-7 days so it is a full month of rather boring skill training here.

Thats the way i did it, tho you may wanna squeeze in a cruiser lvl skill in there just to keep your mind from going numb while doing it. I had my learning skills at lvl 4 for T1 and lvl 3 for T2 for awhile before i went back to them.
It might be best to get those basic learning skills to 3 or 4, then train up a cruiser with some weapons (wont take long at all), then go back and train your advanced learning skills to lvl 3 while your ratting or whatever with your new cruiser.

thats a pretty good plan.. only thing is you get to do nothing new in the time it takes you to train your learning up. If you plan on staying around awhile it is def. worth training them up like you said. Tough choice. Only advise I can give is specialize. Kinda work you into PVP faster cause by the way you posted your intrested in that. If you can suffer the learning curve that is this game you will love it..

Just a note: Unless you're going to be doing a lot of leadership, social, or trade skills right away, you can let the Charisma skill slide for a bit. (Charisma does factor into at least 1 of the advanced learning attributes though)

As stated, get some learning under your belt (it pays off in the long run). Train some decent frigate skills, most of which will apply to larger ships. Train a little for a cruiser and do some L2 missions for cash. These should last you a while, and pay pretty well for the minimal effort they require.
My best advice is to pay attention to your skill descriptions. If you're going to be a gunner, there are a ton of skills that help from small turrets up to the big guns. Things that help everything from tracking to range and damage. If you know you're going to want to fly mainly a battleship, it can save you some time over the long run.
Some other skills that train fast and pay off in the short run are Electronics and Engineering. They increase your ship's potential by upping your powergrid and cpu, allowing you to fit better mods.
In short, the best advice is to stay focused and be patient. A few months down the road, when others are whining because their characters are skilled all over the place and good at nothing, you can laugh at them from the comfort of the "one trick pony" they were joking about a few months before.
