Created char with a few others (who worked in the same games comapany)after the game was just relased.
We made a small corp, one guy went the trading route, I went down the mining route and the other npcing.
Thats pritty much all u could do but it was all new and fun. Hi lights were watching one guy earn enough for a bs and dye hauling his trade more then once and getting my first thorax and spawn chaining a gallent cruiser spawn with the npcing guy till m0o came along and we had to run away, heavly outnumberd and looking at 3 hours worth of loot (we could not even kill the spawn chain lol). Got my first domi lost to disconect before insured.
Join IT mined and small scale pvp till I left for 6 months. Rejoined BA/QDF days. Bs were now allot more commen and I could make isk ok ratting in 0.0 rather then mining. Pvp wise it started solo with 2 mwd thorax 1600 plate and heavy drones. The only ship I found worked against the raiding pirates in 2 mwd ruptures and the cap issue change made it work. Hi lights were early days fighting BE in 2mwd ravens and cruise laucher Kessies to fleet fights, most favourable moments fighting ruskies and bob. Using T2 guns was key at these times and learing how to load grids.
I left again to rejoin months later and went the pirate/nomad route. No pollatics (bob were blue and that ment no dencent pew pew). Capitols were emerging when I came back and we had hacs afs ( I loved enyo ). the change to nomad from allaince was a step welcome, and soon the triad merged with BA to form OB. At this point u could make isk in a number of ways. I did get into fleet bs, but really to me I like flying not just coming out of warp and aligning. So I played the scoute, the tackler and scavenger. I have put all my training into small ships, mainly Tranis sabre, crow ew frigs and just recenlty something a little bigger, a vagga. I preffer the inty the most since the sabre got nerffed :) and life for these pilots is pritty much what it was when they came out.
"Hi lights" Fleet fights v BoB ie the good old fasioned bs slug, suporting a mom in chaos, trapping waves of enemies with bubles but most of all solo scouting. Pre added rigs and nanos for speed inties could still fly at 4 to 9 kps and not die easliy to bs guns... if u imagne taking a rails ranis thats slower then a handfull of std crows (rasta rocket man 07) but the closing speed they have is something u can handle .... its about as fun as can be. All this time and I also canot fly comand ships yet .. ) I think Id like a mach to be my best ever ship and nothing bigger, I can get that bs skill but the longer I leave it the more special it will be. That one ship can cause so much fighing once a succses full "bump" has occered 
I sugest going down the route of say a bs and something fast as 2 routes. If u do want to get into large capitols at some point ull need bs lev 5.... but if u want to be manouvable u have a few choices. Hac = Vagga ishtar/ zellot but could easliy become just vagga with a patch. Recons/covert opps inties dictors and ew frigs. If u want good suport ships then command ships, and logistics ships. U will also need to make a dessions on do I join a pirate corp/mining corp allaince and in doing so narrow your choices.
