* Maintain some focus: feel free to try different things, but remember that key to EVE is getting a skill, or set of skills, trained up to level 4 or 5. Level 4 is typically a 20% bonus over no skill - with 3 or 4 overlapping skills you may have a 40-50% advantage (or disadvantage). | * Maintain some focus: feel free to try different things, but remember that key to EVE is getting a skill, or set of skills, trained up to level 4 or 5.

* Learn to fly a ship well. Figure out what it is designed for and train the skills & learn the gear that makes it fly well. The skills and technique you learn then transfers to your next ship. All ships (other than [[corvettes]]) have a role to play, so you'll be back in this hull one day. Understand its capacities. | * Learn to fly a ship well.

Tip: Use Advanced Search, Keyword= {Shipname}, Search in Forums 'PvP | PvE Ship Loadouts', Search Within 'Topic Titles Only', Display Results as 'Topics'. This gives you a list of excellent discussions for the ship you're interested in and WHY the fits are what they are with alternatives. | ||
* When missioning, ask in one of our [[EVE University Chat Channels]] whether anyone has a "[[Mission fleets#Spider fleet|spider]]" or "[[Mission fleets#Locust fleet|locust]]" fleet you can join. These fleets are fun and you learn with no pressure how to participate in fleets and share in the work and reward. This gives you access to much higher reward [[agents]] and ISK potential than solo missioning. | * When missioning, ask in one of our [[EVE University Chat Channels]] whether anyone has a "[[Mission fleets#Spider fleet|spider]]" or "[[Mission fleets#Locust fleet|locust]]" fleet you can join.

* Just like learning a ship, learn the weapon systems you like. If you're into drones and drone boats, train up the related skills. The weapon system will be much better in accuracy, damage and distance with the appropriate skills. For example with Drones, train up {{Sk|Drones|V}} first. Don't stop at 4, that fifth drone is 25% more damage and Drones V is a prerequisite for {{Sk|Drone Interfacing}} and {{Sk|Drone Sharpshooting}}. Get those next along with {{Sk|Drone Durability}} and {{Sk|Drone Navigation}} to III or IV. You'll be far more effective and have more fun! If you focus you can quickly get excellent skills; if you jump around between drones, lasers, projectiles, and turrets you'll stay basic or average for a long time (and be frustrated in PvE and PvP). | * Just like learning a ship, learn the weapon systems you like.
