That's part of the Aegis Militia, which is my alliance.

I spoke to Mirial a few times and she seemed nice.

That so? I had figured after a blow like that, they'd have disbanded. I know if that was me, I would have quit the game in disgust after something like that happened.

It's nice to come back and see that all of my Blackbirds sold back when the price was 300k higher (More than a dozen of them) Unfortunatly the mineral prices haven't quite dropped low enough for my liking.

I found out that the Aegis Militia is NOT Amarr-only like I previously thought, so it'd probably be a better idea to join them (I'm with them) rather than stumble around with a brand new corp.

Plus you're never short of drama and combat with the Aegis crowd.

Based on you faulty information I joined a different corps already. Curse you!

But anyway, doesn't matter what corp we choose because we're still all together in the EC room. Make very little difference except for corp wars and corp hangars and stuff.

I could be a total lame wad, and make my own corp, and declare war on you, and hunt you all down. But that would be totally lame. And very unprofitable.

I freelance yo. I was in a corp, that had a war once. It wasn't very cool. I forgot about the war, and went to Jita, and got killed, and lost like 30mil worth of minerals in an industrial.

There are others too if that doesn't work. The servers are down for deployment of a free expansion today, but should be up tomorrow.

Like you'd know

I'm pretty close to being able to fly one of these, given another two weeks. Armageddon Battleships are yum.

Only question I had from messing around with the trial is, for all the skills you pick up during character creation, is there ways to get the others later? Like, if you don't have... dunno, mining, period, after making your char is there a book or something you can read later to pick up the basics?

Buy additional Skills from the Market, you can train as long as you have the prereqs. Work your way up the ladder.

The other great thing about EVE Online is that this is a HUGE content patch and it's free, just like the last one, and not like SOE where they put together 5 short quests and sell it for $24.99

You can change small things in this to suit your own race and weapons.

1.1 The Beginning

The first thing you should done once your character is created is to start training Amarr frigate to lvl 3. I assume you either picked a fighter or Command character and should already have lvl2, if not work your way to 3 then read on!!

1.2 Learning to Learn Better

The Learning skills in my opinion are the most important ones for any new pilot to buy and train up no matter what career they want! There is already a great guide on how to train up your learning skills found Here

The short version is basically buying the Instant Recall skill first, and then training it to lvl 1. Then buy and train Analytical Mind to lvl 1. Do this in that order until both are lvl4 then train the rest of the skills to lvl4 as well (you can omit Charisma unless you really like agent missions) Once all your Learning skills are at least lvl 4 its time for you to move on.
**You have been practicing with that Punisher during this week+ haven’t you?**

1.3 Bigger ship or more Ammo?

This is where many pilots go astray in that little race to try and get into a bigger ship as soon as they can. If you want to be a good combat pilot you’re soon going to learn that Bigger isn’t always better. Well then what now? You’ll first want the skills to make you a good and useful frig pilot before stepping into a cruiser. Let’s see what that takes….

1.4 The power skills

To be a good pilot you need a ship that can do all the things you need it too. Here’s the chefs short order of useful skills to make your ship operate better with more equipment. You might want to take time while training the Learning skills to get a few of these covered first as you’ll need these to pilot that punisher well!

1. Engineering – train to lvl 4 ASAP!
2. Electronics train to lvl 3 for now
3. Electronics upgrades – train to lvl 1 for more items
4. Energy Grid upgrades – train to lvl 2 for more items
5. Shield Upgrades – train to lvl 1 for more items

1.5 Speed Kills

Any experienced frigate captain can tell you that speed is your #1 best defense in a fight, The old motto being “If you’re getting hit then you’re moving too slow!” Because we’re trying to train you up fast there’s really only a few skills you need here.
1. Navigation
2. Afterburner

These two skills will get you by for quite a long time if you use them right. I recommend training both to lvl 3 at first just to give you enough speed to be effective.

1.6 EW (aka) Electronic Warfare

The most useful frigate pilots in PvP have 1 real job in battle. Prevent enemy BS and cruisers from escaping. They do this by jamming their targeting systems, scrambling their warp fields, and webbing their engines into a standstill. To do this you need at least 2 skills.
1. Propulsion Jamming
2. Electronic Warfare

Train both of these up to lvl 1 only, then move on. Now your useful, almost.

1.7 GUNNERY!!!

Duh, of course these are the most important skills you’ll need. Advanced training of these skills will be most of your life, but for now we want to get enough so we can move on!

1. Gunnery- train this to lvl4 right now!
2. Small energy turrets – lvl 3 you’ll need this for the bigger guns
3. Weapons Upgrades – again train to lvl 1 so u can use some more tools
4. Now how bout some Medium Energy turret 1– work on this before you get your cruiser- to lvl 1 anyways

1.8 Missiles

Missiles have been getting worked around all over the place and yet are still really good even for us Amarr. I don’t recommend putting much skills into these beyond the basics unless you plan on going heavy into them. Here’s what you need to pilot that Awesome Inquisitor.

1. Missile launcher operation lvl 3- makes for a good start
2. Standard Missiles - lvl 1
3. Defenders – lvl 1 ( a must!)
4. Rockets- this is optional for play mainly

1.9 Drones?

Drones will be very important later on so I recommend getting a little base with them. A few lvls maybe 1 days time is all that is needed for now.
1. Drones – lvl 3
2. Scout Drones – lvl 2

****Now train Amarr frigate to lvl 4 then train Amarr Cruiser lvl 1!****

2.0 Cruiser time!
It’s most likely been about 3 weeks by now and your itching for a cruiser. You have the isk, your corpmates have the ship and now you’re ready. First things first not to dawg on any of the other cruisers Aug, Arbi, but the Omen is the first one you really want to play around with. Train cruiser to lvl 2 buy and INSURE your Omen then let’s look at what we can do!

First off I d hope you trained drones to lvl3 as the Omen packs a whooping 300 m3 drone space… Okay that’s not much but 3 Hammerhead’s is a lot better than none!

2.1 Advancing the skills

Now you should be working on training your gunnery and engineering/Electronic skills up a little bit more so you can squeeze the best performance out of your ship.

There are also some more advanced skills to pick up and look at now that you have the isk to afford them. Take a look at these outlined suggestions and work with them to your own flavor, you get a bit more freedom now.

4. Rapid firing lvl 2
5. Motion Prediction lvl 2

Engineering

1. Energy Systems Operation – lvl 3
2. Energy Management – lvl 2
3. Shield Operation lvl 2
4. Shield Management lvl 2
5. Energy Pulse Weapons lvl 1

Electronics

2. Long Range Targeting – lvl 2
3. Signature Analysis – lvl 2

Navigation

2. Afterburners – lvl 4
3. High Speed Maneuvering – lvl 2
4. Fuel Conservation – lvl 1
5. Acceleration Control – lvl 1
6. Warp Drive Operation – lvl 1
7. Evasive Maneuvering – lvl 1

Missiles

3.0 You’ve made it BIG time!

You know, that's something I had over looked with EvE as being a very good point. They always put out big ass content paches every 6-8 months. They're free, just BOOM, more stuff, have fun guys.

Still, I've accepted at this point that's a constant for ALL MMO games
