Like I say every other time you play, push through it. Most of us hit that wall. I know I did. You do eventually get your second wind and then you break into a sprint and the next few months will fly by. Its hard to explain but its true.

Tis true indeed. Time goes a lot faster when you get in with a good corp too.

True that, bunch of funny people who love to PEWPEW. Even if it's a small gang corp, if they're decent people then the time passes much more quickly. Bonus points if they all use hilarious fits to PVP with and win. Battle Mallers anyone?

He's still playing!

can't go back to him?

honestly if you arent interested in indy or business dont do the chaines. Find a better combat agent and work for him

Yeah they need to work on that. Honestly even if they start you off as a cruiser with lots of high slots and then make frigates more specialised for higher end players, rather than the smallest ship.

After a week of playing you should be in a cruiser almost really. or a destroyer.

depends what you skill for, i guess. i normally go for the core basic+standard certificates first so that i've got a decent grounding - then skill into whatever ship/use i want, e.g. frigate for ratting or something. that takes a solid week or two in itself, depending how neat i am with the skill queue. cruiser/destroyer's ain't really much point in leaping for if you're underskilled, surely? i can wait a while for the corp application to tick thru, anyway...

For lvl 1 missions, I can remember I jumped into a cruiser fairly underskilled. infact I didn't have any tanking skills at all, shit what did I know. I dided a lot sure but I could always afford new ships. It made it intersting instead of orbit > shoot > wait. Infact I don't think I really had my shit together until almost a BC really.

e: infact I would recommend all new players to just forget about maxing out their skills for every ship at the early stage. I mean you're doing lvl 1, maybe lvl 2 missions, who cares if you aren't cap stable or you aren't getting 100% out of your guns or your modules. Get out and splode shit and get sploded. Being less effecient will teach you how to manage your modules more effectively, learn when you need to bug out, the natural tanking strengths of your ships and the different speeds which you get damaged as you go shield > armour > hull.

You learn a lot by not being very good. Once oyu get a feel the game and know what you wanna do, start working on your core skills.

Within about a week on my second account I was on a full 5-slot cruiser w/ medium guns. Did fuckall damage comparatively to what I can do now with the same ship, but still.

i need a real corp, eve uni chat makes me facepalm

Talk to teds, he's your TZ and the corp is really great, if he is still in RHI. I was one of the rare AU TZ guys and I still got in on some action, even being on the opposite of their peak times and I was really lacking in the PvP and SP department. They'll really look after you and get you out of highsec and into nullsec. Clearly you've given the tackling thing a go and didn't really like it, so get teds to shuffle you around. You might enjoy logisitcs or black ops stuff, and they will point you in that direction and gear/train you up, or even just fly around in a frig/cruiser and get on some killmails. Being in a frigate means you are harder to hit, and probably won't be very high on the primary list, so you can get your head around it all and not lose expensive ships.

There are plenty of good corps out there, I have just had good experiences with them.

And its all in the rules

sup y'all in the eves thread!!!
