If you do all your career agents as recommended you will end up with a large collection of skill books. That is a good thing since the price of skill books can be quite overwhelming for new players. But never save on the wrong end and make sure to always buy a new skill when you can afford and need it. EVE University provides certain [[The Skillbook Program|skillbooks for free]] to its members.

For general principles for fitting ships, read our [[Fitting Guidelines]]. For a list of rigs and module types, with short descriptions, visit our [[Fitting Modules and Rigs Guide]]. You can plan your fittings with 3rd party software such as [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/3rd_Party_Tools#EVE_Fitting_Tool_.28EFT.29 EFT], [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/3rd_Party_Tools#EveHQ EveHQ], or [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/3rd_Party_Tools#Pyfa_.28Python_fitting_assistant.29 Pyfa].

These basic ship fitting articles also contain recommended skills for specific fittings.

== EVE University Forum  ==
As a new player, don't be afraid to ask for fitting advice in the [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=124 EVE University PvP and PvE ship setup forums]. This should be the first place for new players to look for fits and ask for advice. These forums are restricted to EVE University members and alumni.
== Other Web Sites  ==
*[http://www.failheap-challenge.com/ Failheap Challenge]: This site has both PvP and PvE forums. Some threads are quite old and the discussions can be outdated in the earlier posts. Failheap is often a very good place for experienced pilots to find fittings, and many threads will also have tactic discussions on how to use them. Most of the fits are meant for older pilots with excellent fitting skills, and it can be harder to find fits that work for low skill points.
