New Player Info

Starting Out

First, do the introductory tutorial! Seriously, do it!

Next, do the career agent tutorials! Seriously, do them! You can find their location by hitting F12, then clicking the Show Career Agents button (fourth button down) under the Support tab.

There are four career agents, one each for business, exploration, industry, and military. It's recommended that you do them all, since they all provide important information. If, for no other reason, do them for the money, ships and skill books they provide.

At this point you can start exploring different activities in more depth. New players typically begin by focusing on missions, mining or PVP.

Missions

If you want to continue down this path, you now have two choices. Your first choice is to find a regular agent that will provide you with more missions. To find an agent, use the Agent Finder button that's located above the list of agents when you're docked. A detailed mission guide can be found at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Missions_guide.

Your second option is to travel to the Arnon system and do the level 1 epic arc missions. The agent is located in the Arnon IX - Moon 3 - Sisters of EVE Bureau station.

Mining

Perhaps your best bet is to get yourself a Venture, stick some Miner Is in the high slots, Expanded Cargoholds and/or Mining Laser Upgrades in the lows, and whatever miners put in the mids.

Train industrial skills, save up isk, and move into bigger and better mining vessles with better fits.

PVP

 If PVP is your thing, you have a few options.

Your first option is to find a corp that will teach you. There two resources readily available to find a corporation. The first is the official Eve Recruitment Center forums.The second is the in-game channel called Recruitment.

Another option is to join Red vs Blue (check out the in-game channel R-V-B for more information).

Your third option is to join faction warfare, which you can read more about it at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Factional_Warfare. Faction warfare was designed to be new-player friendly, but you may find that it's not necessary so.

Since it can take some time to find a good corp that will teach you PVP, your best bet may be to join Red vs Blue.

And More

There are a number of other things to do in Eve as well, such as manufacturing, trading or exploration. Check out this link for an idea of what activities are available.

Important Skills (some of the skill names have since changed)

Core Skills

• Electronics - Increases CPU
• Engineering - Increases powergrid
• Energy Management - Increases capacitor size
• Energy Systems Operation - Increases capacitor recharge speed

Defensive Skills

• Shield Management - Increases shield capacity
• Shield Operation - Increases shield recharge speed
• Hull Upgrades - Increases armor HP
• Mechanics - Increases hull HP
• Repair Systems - Increases armor repair speed when using an Armor Repairer

Gunnery Skills

• Gunnery - Increases rate of fire
• Rapid Firing - Increases rate of fire
• Surgical Strike - Increases damage
• Motion Prediction - Increases tracking speed
• Sharpshooter - Increases optimal range
• Trajectory Analysis - Increases accuracy falloff

Useful Mods

• CPU can be increased with a Co-Processor.

• Powergrid can be increased with either a Reactor Control Unit or a Power Diagnostics System (the latter also improves your shields).

• Capacitor can be increased with a Capacitor Booster (you must use cap booster charges with it), a Cap Recharger, or a Capacitor Battery.

Keep in mind, however, that it's always better to increase these attributes with skills rather than mods, since the latter requires a valuable slot on your ship.

WARNING: NOT REALLY FUNNY FAILPOST COMMENCING...

EVE Online: Wardec Survival Guide
by failpirate

When at war, it's important to take every possible precautions to remain safe. Unfortunately, many pilots make simple mistakes, leading to the loss of assets and ISK, and leading to a frustrating experience. Here are some simple steps to help you avoid any unnecessary losses.

1) Avoid docking. This is perhaps a seemingly poor piece of advice, but the fact of the matter is that no one likes being camped in a station. By remaining in space, you're free to move about without being ganked on the undock. Simply pick a planet or an asteroid belt and stay put. Cloaking may sound tempting, but it's important to remember that this can lead to a false sense of security. It's easy to be decloaked; so you might want to avoid this if you're not actually AFK.

2) Do not fly PvP ships. If you're in an indy, for example, the enemy is likely to underestimate you. As the great military strategist Lao Tzu pointed out: "There is no greater disaster than underestimating your enemy. Underestimating your enemy means losing your greatest assets." (Tao Te Ching, Ch 69). Use this to your advantage.

3) Keep your most valuable items in your cargohold. Another seemingly counterintuitive piece of advice, but it means you won't need to dock in your home station, which can get you camped (see number (1) above). By keeping your valuables with you, you can dock at a safe station and grab whatever you need from your hold.

4) Fly solo. The more solo pilots that are in space, the less chance there is of any one pilot getting caught.

5) If you're being attacked, keep quiet. Announcing your situation to your corp/alliance members can cause others to panic, leading to rash decisions and risking further losses. You'll also be sharing crucial intel with any spies that may be in your alliance channels.

6) If you're low on money and need to mine or rat, do it in the enemy's home system. This is the last place they would think of looking, so it is actually the safest place you can be.

Good luck. And remember, if you have any questions or concerns, the channel for help, called 'help', is available 23/7.
