* Leave a cheap item at stations you visit frequently. This will turn your assets tab (available on the left of the screen) into a handy collection of bookmarks.

* Be wary of your security status. Below certain levels, means Faction Police may shoot you if you enter a high enough security system. E.g. Sec status -2.0 or below means you will be shot in systems with sec status 1.0-0.9. Sec status of -5 or lower means you are kill on sight to everyone. Train diplomacy to remedy this a little.

* Make safespots and bookmarks everywhere you regularly go, especially in low security space. Tired of the masses of bookmarks cluttering your peopleandplaces window? Make a separate folder for them. right click this folder heading to get a window just with your bookmarks for ultra quick navigation.

* when buying ammo make sure you look the information(attributes) its possible that you can be buying the wrong ammo for your needs. look at the bonuses to range in particular.

* learn to use your size and speed to your advantage. Orbiting a target fast and close will mitigate a lot of damage and allow you to beat ships much larger than you

* Learn manual piloting. Double click in space to fly. The orbit AI is very easily exploitable and you can close on/get away from a faster ship using the AI. Not to mention, gun transversal tricks.

Interceptors -

* Fly t1 frigates for a few months before you step into an interceptor hull. Once you fly a t1 frigate well, you should be able to fly an interceptor well.

* There are two kinds of interceptor: tackling and dogfighting. Tackling ceptors should always be speed fit and should try to stay out of heavy neut range. They have bonuses to disrupt range. Dogfighting interceptors should focus on tank and damage output before tackle.

* don't be afraid of warping off and know what you can and can't handle. call out your points and make sure your fc knows if you need to get out.

* if you get warriors on your ass, don't freak out. you can handle those for a while before you need to get out. Neuts and scrams, however, can ruin your day.

* never EVER directly approach anything. Always approach at an angle, otherwise you will die. You should be manually piloting a lot of the time anyway.

==PVP/Low/NullSec==

* Choose your fights carefully. In pvp space you are a shark or a fish. If you can't avoid the sharks, then you are food. Learn safespots, gate scouting and safe undocks.

* Rat in lowsec or nullsec. Not for money, but to learn how to not be sharkfood while still being being able to do something undocked. You can't hunt down prey untli you aren't prey yourself.

* Holding CTRL will also freeze the overview so things don't change position. This is useful for making sure you click the right thing in busy situations.

* Export ur overview! Just do it now! Save in safe spot. Overviews a notorious fustrating to reconfigure after you've got it exactly how u want it.

* You can zoom like a telescope to any location on your screen, just hold down right click and look at the area u want to zoom into, then hold down both mouse buttons and go up and down ==> it will zoom. (Start at bottom of screen for maximum control. With practice, u can see targets over 100km away giving a lovely movie-action shot of your guns pounding the enemy.)

* Moving stacks of things around your hanger/ship cargo etc : Shift + drag will bring up a box allowing you type a number to split out.

* Never attempt to rush your skills to achieve the next rank of ships.

* Certificates allows players to work towards certain specified certificate levels found under each ships infomation window, in order to fly that ship it well. Newer players should get used to using this system as a guide at first.

* Insure your Ship at the Insurance tab whilst in Station. Level of insurance bought gives a higher payout if your ship happens to be destroyed. (New Pilots, insure ships the Uni provides you, as you will get positive isk if your ship is destroyed. (Be sensible please)

* Update your Clone in a medical facility in a station. Make sure the clone is set higher than your current SP. If not, and u get podded, you will lose valuble SP! Update your clones now!
