'''Skills''' in EVE govern the abilities of your character. They determine which ships you can fly, what modules you can use, the effectiveness to which you can use those ships/modules, and much more. This is a guide to learning those in-game skills, explaining the mechanics that govern skill training, and making suggestions for training strategies.

This also means that young characters (who have not been playing for as long) can "catch up to" older characters in specific areas of the game.
