This time I lucked into EVE University and found a group of players dedicated to explaining how the game works. So let's start there: ''if you have a question ask it.'' These people are smart and experienced and like most teachers, they love nothing better than to talk. Give them the chance and they will produce the little nitty gritty details that you need to get good at this game. | This time I lucked into EVE University and found a group of players dedicated to explaining how the game works.

(I'm writing this after spending one year at E-UNI, while my "new" player experiences are still fresh. But my brain is already filling up with weird frigate fits and strange asteroid names ... and soon I will forget how hard it was to make sense of it all in the beginning.) | ||
