The Magic 14: Difference between revisions

{{Template:Skillplan Navbar}}

This page lists fourteen fundamental skills which apply to every single ship that a player can pilot in eve, from a [[shuttle]] to a [[titan]]. Each of these skills is worthwhile for a new character to train.

{{co|red| Important: This page is NOT intended to be a skill plan. This is a list of 'support' skills which impact all the ships you will fly. Training them is important because it will give you an edge, but there is no point training support skills without first training the skills you need to actually USE the ships and modules. We would suggest you get these skills trained up after training the minimal skills required to actually use the ships you want to fly.}}

{{euninote| EVE University members should train the [[Short Skill Plan]] and the [[Pyramid Skill Plan]].}}

The scope of this guide is to examine only those skills which provide bonuses to all ships regardless of [[Module|modules]], [[Implants|implants]] or [[Rig|rigs]]. The starting skill levels listed apply to characters created after the '''Vanguard'''-patch (September 2015). For a full list of the current starting skill levels see [[Starting Skills]].

For in-depth descriptions of skill training mechanics, and discussion of training strategies, consult [[Skills and Learning]].

For a more in depth look at other fundamental skills you would want to learn as a beginner, consult [[Basic Skills]].

;{{sk|Signature Analysis|icon=yes|price=yes|mult=yes}}

: This skill enables your ship to lock targets faster which enables you to quickly apply offensive modules and weapons to a hostile ship. It can mean the difference between whether or not you are successful at [[Tackling Guide|tackling]] a ship before it warps away and escapes.

;{{sk|Navigation|icon=yes|price=yes|mult=yes}}

;{{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|icon=yes|price=yes|mult=yes}}

: This skill improves your ship's agility which enables it to turn, accelerate and enter warp more quickly. It can mean the difference between escaping in a pod or losing expensive [[Implants|implants]].

;{{sk|Warp Drive Operation|icon=yes|price=yes|mult=yes}}

: This skill reduces the capacitor usage when entering warp which can be helpful when traveling across larger systems, especially when warping large ships into a combat scenario. When arriving at a battle it is best to have as much remaining capacitor as possible. Exceptionally large systems, such as some [[Wormhole|wormhole]] systems, can cause ships to ''cap out'', forcing your ship to drop out of warp before it arrives at your chosen destination.

;{{sk|Spaceship Command|icon=yes|price=yes|mult=yes}}

: This skill improves your ship's agility which enables it to turn, accelerate and enter warp more quickly. It can mean the difference between escaping in a pod or losing expensive [[Implants|implants]].
