New "Rookie” Players Guide

Greetings fellow a little guide for you.  I did this guide after been a volunteer an ISD.

The Races

Amarr:
Always a deeply religious people, religion remain of great importance to every Amarrian, a fervor which at various times has been responsible both for great good and great evil. Shortly after recovering from the closure of EVE, they began to expand their realm at the expense of neighbouring states. The nations they conquered were enslaved, a practice justified by their religion.
Data:  Armor tanking and laser users by default.

Caldari:
A state built on corporate capitalism, the Caldari State is run by a few mega-corporations which divide the state between them, controlling and ruling every aspect of society. Each corporation is made up of thousands of smaller companies, ranging from industrial companies to law firms.
While the Caldari State may not be nearly as big as the other races, they are still universally feared and admired. Their economy is strong, and their military might parallel to that of the larger empires.
Data:  Shield tanking and use rail/hybrid/missile by default

Gallente:
liberalists and defenders of the free world. Love them or hate them, you simply can't ignore them. Everybody has an opinion on the Gallente Federation; it all depends from which side of the table you view them. For many, it is the Promised Land, where any dream can become a reality. Descendants of Tau Ceti Frenchmen, the Gallenteans remain strong believers in free will and human rights, despite numerous setbacks in their long history.

Data: Using a mix of armor and strong shields, Hybrid and rail guns.

Minmatar
Tough, no-nonsense races, the Minmatars are a determined and independent people.
For them, the most important thing in life is to be able to take care of yourself on your own, and although kin and family play an important role in their society, they prefer identifying themselves by the clan or tribe to which they belong.
A fair number make their living on the darker side of the law, acting as pirates, smugglers and peddlers in all kinds of illegal goods and many of the larger criminal groups in the world of EVE are run by Minmatars
Data:  Projectile /laser guns

Character Creation: [due to game have changed the Character creation has become more easy and no points at the creation of the character

but you can change the points now ingame :) after character creation under character profil!

(Do please read the Pro character creation guide to get the best character in EvE Online*).

Now you need to make a character.  First you get to choose your race.
Pick the one that suits you best.
[next] step you get to choose is what bloodline your character going to be.
Notice what attributes your bloodline grants.
[you do that by clicking on the buttons to the left]

Choose one that gives good stats for what profession you are planning to go for.
[next] Gender your avatar will be and I leave that up to you.
[next] you get 5 points to add to your attributes.

This step is “very” important that you put the points into the right places as attributes affect how quickly you will learn new skills for the rest of your character life.

[next]  Ancestry, which grants additional attributes.
[next] career path
this part is where you select what basic skills your character will start his life with.

Let’s start customize your characters appearance.

I recommend spending some time tweaking and I leave that up to you.

Now you chose your name.  “Heads up select your name with care as You CANT change it later."

Welcome to space!

Now, do the tutorials’ in game. This is important, since this a complex game.
EVE!

What now?

Ok as EvE Online aren’t like other mmorpgs, some can feel alit lost with the freedom
in EVE-O.

I going to make a little short intro to main pros, the in more in detail guides give out more information.

[Read the other Pro Guides to get more information*]

The main paths are Combat, industry and trading.
I’m going to break these down abit

Combat  What you are doing is you shoot stuff. However there are different types of combat.

Mission running [kill missions]
You find an agent, do missions for him and make some isk + lp points.
[Read the Pro mission Running Guide for more information*]

Rat Hunting
Kill pirate NPC's in asteroid belts. All NPC pirates have a bounty, which you receive if kill him. You will find more rats in slightly lower security level areas.

Join a player Corp
Join a corp.  Is mostly the best thing you can do, some corp. even pay your basic skills even insure your ship some larger corporations pay your ships + ammo and give you a salary each month.
Your mission is to defend their Zones and properties.

Ransom Piracy
Go lowsec 0.4 Seek out players. Take out a good bit of their armor, when open a convo asking for a ransom. If he refuses to pay, you destroy his ship. If he pays you let him go.
[I wouldn’t do this as Rookie as your skill isn’t that good ;)]

Industry and mining
Industrial characters are one who is gathering resources and or make modules/ships out of it, or researching new modules and ships.
Miners spend most of his/her time going to asteroid belts and mine asteroids there. Then he takes all that ore back to station and refine it into minerals, or sell/have mining contracts to larger corps.

Trading
Trading is when you buy and invest in gods, items, modules or selling or buying minerals.
Most traders starting out by moving trade gods from one station to another. When you hit the bigger iskies you just buy and sell items and mostly those never leave the station.

My personal proof. Is trading both in game and irl and my trading char haven’t left the station for the past 3 years now ;)

The Skill System

The Skill System is very unique system.   You set your skill to train, and it trains even when your offline.

Learning Skills

It is wise to get your learning skills to a decent level. These skills will increase your attributes, and then decrease the time it takes for skills to be learned.

I recommend that you don’t train only learning skills. People will disagree with this, but training only those. You might feel that all you do is waiting ;) and that isn’t fun ;) train other skills you need and train learning skills when you feel like it like over a night or so.

Security Status

It is more or less completely safe in systems with a status of 1.0 to 0.5. In these systems there are police forces present and will always react toward hostile acts.
However, in systems with a status from 0.4 to 0.1 there is no police, but there is still law, so if you do something naughty, you get criminally flagged

You also have your own security status, which is lowered every time you do any bad. The lower security status, the less "high sec" systems you can go to.

Then there is 0.0. This is where the players rule. There is no law here, and you can attack everyone at any time without worry.

These systems will often be claimed by the biggest player corporations. This is where you want to go, but as a newbie and in npc you can consider yourself more and less dead if another player sees you there.

Back story and history
This is a big part of EvE online, universe is incredibly deep.
Eve online is where the players are making future and the players who made the history.

always keep your clone upgraded so it covers your skill points

Hint not keeping a clone who keeps the skill points you got and you get pod killed that means you lose those skill points
