* Hauling (basic industrials only)

People in game may tell you a couple of things that you need to just ignore (at least for now). One of those is that you are not being efficient - if you are having fun who cares! The other is that <damn can't remember what I was going to add here!>. Don't be in a rush to do everything, train every skill or fly every ship. Eve is a game for the long term and, I believe, you will enjoy it more if you take it at your own pace. Don't let people tell you that you need to use [[Skill_trading#Skill_Injectors|Skill Injectors]] or buy [[Accounts#PLEX|Plex]] with RL$ to get you ahead, as part of the fun is learning your own way around the game and how to make your own ISK. It also gives you time to learn more about the enormous world of Eve.

Don't be afraid of losing ships, but at the same time try not to make too many stupidly expensive mistakes. Eve has a simple rule "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose".
