Edited by: Maidel on 24/04/2008 22:34:28 I would specalize.
At the moment my main can do pretty much everything, but not much of it can he do extremely well.
Edit - just making clear that this is my main.. my alts are all specalized.

I would be a Brutor instead of a Sebiestor, for one thing. Then I would probably take Soldier instead of Special Ops, so as to get my T2 small guns that much faster. Beyond that, I'd do everything exactly the same.

If I started again...
I wouldn't have taken that 8 month break after my first 2 months of play... I would have been more diligent at focusing on Amarr ships instead of learning Gallente and Minmatar as well... I wouldn't have sold my maxed out mining alt when the introduction of the drone regions forked mineral prices... I would have paid more attention when buying that EMP S in Oursalert... I would have started my research alts as soon as I could afford the skillbooks in the hopes of getting T2 BPO's before they binned the lottery...
God there are so many things, I could keep going but I wont.

I'm not sure really. I would probably still be Caldari, specializing in missiles.
However, instead of getting stuck in lowsec I would have started doing empire wars.

Likewise, exactly. /Mourn
I also would have taken a combat instead of industrial/mining path, I had no idea how much mining sucked and have had a slower time building up my combat skills now because of my initial choice.
I'd still be Gallente all the way though. Space French 4tw.

I would not have had a higher charisma than memory
I would have started an alt much much sooner
I would have trained 24/7 and not slacked off for weeks at a time
I would probably have learned the learning skills sooner

Edited by: OffBeaT on 25/04/2008 01:14:55 i would of made a diffrent pick of skills for this guy he is supper in skilling up weopons skills but poor for any other skills these days anyone can get high weopon skills even with low learning skills for it. most start off with pritty good per/will anyway. it dosnt seem too pay off too well with high weopon skills.
with people now being able too buy accounts legal i think skills dont mean much anymore anyway.. anyone who works skills for months too get too do somthing is just pulling there hair out.
hehe.. how many times dose a guy have too train his missile lunchers over and over again anyway.. ghess, 3 separate skills just too do what one skill or two should do..

I had needed to restart, now with the foreknowdedge of needing two alts.
Would've made one character entirely combat orientated, balancing it's attributes until it has almost no charisma, but a bucketload of all the others.
Made another completely mining/trade/industry orientated, abobe average memory, intelligence, charisma still a little low due to not being needed for many skills, possible speccing in raven battleships too for use as a isk generating alt when main hits hard times in pvp.
Would've probably given them better names.

I wouldn't have put any extra points into Charisma. Also, I'd have trained the support skills up higher earlier before I started looking to fit and fly T2. Less-than-optimal ship stats have probably cost me more than I realize.

yea bro but you can jam well with them skills & that would win most fights rather then fire power anyday. i would traid off hafe my hitting power for better jamming any day in a fight. i win way more fights jamming then shoting. i am in bad shape for jamming now it just kills me as a fighter. |

- Fixed my attributes... urgh... But I've lived so far with them.
- Grown into ships a bit better, when I started out I went with specializing frigates, it wasn't until a fair bit of months later I realized I could have saved a *** load and been almost as effective if I had gone to cruisers and battlecruisers first instead.
- Not switching races about 3 weeks into the game, thus stunting my growth further... then wind up going back anyways after a long period of time.
- Not have been an idiot and lose who knows how many destroyers trying to fight BC rats solo when starting out for about a full month or so (the amount of isk/frustration I could have saved here... oh man)
I could go on, but they're obvious things, like be smarter and more efficient with funds/skils, etc.

For my oldest two alts I would maybe balance the attributes a bit but for all the rest I wouldn't change a thing about their skill progression. As far as what I do in game that would probably be the same but then again I have so many specialized alts I've pretty much experienced everything the game has to offer sans those OMGWTFLAGFREE fleet fights I hear the 0.0 residents pining about so often.

Specialized in my own races ships much harder and not branch out until I say, hit cap ships or maxed out BS maybe.
Maybe, just maybe, started as either Amarr or Minmatar instead of Caldari, but thats a toss up.

Edited by: Amastat on 25/04/2008 07:10:06 I absolutly love EVE - it's currently my favorite MMORPG - however I would have to quit if EVE was reset. It was too much training involved, too much work.
Even on RPG's with a level system - when I hit the peak level I tend to eventually get bored, there is nothing else to improve on - and I don't really care about starting a new char and playing the same thing allover again.
On EVE, developing your character takes a lot more time (effortless time, but nevertheless a lot of time). In light of that, when I look at how long it will take for me to get back to where I was before - as on a level-based RPG, thats like looking at a long highway u have to walk again. On EVE - thats like looking at highway that circles the globe at least 2 times I have to walk again.
So - yea, I'd probably be very upset that it's all gone and lost forever and go quietly insane, and I would have no desire at all to redo all of it - and *cringes* find another MMORPG (Or as I would call it, find a 'comprimise')
I trust CCP will never reset, or allow a hacker to cause such a disaster. I think they are very aware of the consequences this would have on their subscriber count. However - the beauty about EVE is that it is virtually impossible, at the rate EVE is expanding and changing, to ever max out all your SP - therefore - I will always have something to work for, and thus will be entertained for a very-long-time. ____________________

I'd have started earlyer (though i could have only squeezed another year in there by starting in 03).
I'd lower my charisma slightly and boost my memory a little.
I'd put in more effort, thus having a bigger wallet now, and so being able to afford the various cap and super cap skills i need right now.
I'd still be a ship ***** (able to fly nearly 80% of all ships in game), and I'd still be a female minmatar brutor...

If I could go back in time - if that's the scenario, I'd:
Cut off my excess Memory/Intel and have balanced attributes between Memory, Intel, Perception, and Willpower.
I would of focused strictly on flying a Raven (after learning), creating top-notch Raven SP for maximum performance - thus I would of made a large amount of ISK a lot sooner.
I would still specialize in racial t2, instead of training all races - however I would of trained all the supporting skills for the said ship(s) before the actual ship-skill. I also would of trained Gallente HAC's as a exception - Caldari HAC's suck so bad.
I would of maxed out my refining skills after I got the skills for a Raven done. (no waste over many months)
And I would of slowed down a bit in terms of ship specialization - on my actual character I did originally plan this, however I trained the ship skills first, and did specialization later - and I flew them while they were still training and still crappy to fly. I also ignored my own philosphy anyways to some degree and specialized in almost every t2 Caldari ship - however I'm still months away from having "optimal support skills" in half of the ships that are not already optimal.

you must be one maken character too say that. anyway i think its time for some skills that are based on time play or buy skills used through time. since the way i see it my time put in on my skills means little now becouse some guy like you or not can just buy a highend guy work him for a small amount of time then say what you just say ME NEED MORE SKILLS NOW i am board with no skills too train. never mined all the guys who still play hard and still got 3yrs worth of skils too deal with just so they can get a shot at a player like you...

I have started again. I sold two characters I had been playing since August of 2005, kept three characters who work the market in three different regions so I could keep making isk, and started a new character.
I wanted to get a feel for the game as it starts now, and move away from carebearing to pvp. I remember starting back in 2005 with very few skill points. Those first few months were hard, but satisfying.
Things are easier now, but I still find it satisfying.

I would definately not choose Achura.
I mean, everytime Soporo looks in the mirror his hands tremble uncontrollably and he wishes to hack at his eyes with a dull rusty fork.
He walks the station corridors and small children run screaming in terror from his abominable visage. Women gasp, defecate themselves and faint in horror. Strong men glance at him, grow pale and stumble away mumbling hastily crafted prayers.
Hideous. Hideous. Hideous.
Soporo can afford to purchase huge warships and people it with the finest crews, yet cannot spend one single ISK for a plastic surgeon. Sucks.

I would do the same thing but with more emphasis on combat skills. It has taken me a long time to become proficient at combat but having said that, my character can earn a lot of isk quite quickly from mining to pay for the lost ships etc because I concentrated on my mining skills first. Now, when I lose a 100m isk ship in combat, it doesn't hurt so much, a couple of days mining, even in highsec and I'm back in my replacement combat ship.
