Desirable Alpa to Omega path

Test path by using new alt doing only what is written.
Short introduction to the in-game activity. Do not link to more information yet so as to not overwhelm new players. Have a "Recommended further reading"/"Useful Links" section at the end/after each step.
Explanation of what A2O is, eg. a way for new players to gain a deep understanding of core-game mechanics while making ISK doing a very accesible activity.
Overview of steps and how to use the A2O path. First step should mainly consist of skills that will be usefull no matter what activity you will end up doing in Eve

Chris Halsky (talk) 16:29, 10 December 2023 (UTC) Alpha to Omega path is IMO bad thing in general. Suggests that Plexing is good idea (it's not). Uriel made it that way (his choice), but we should focus on Abyss guide, not Plexing guide.

Move up to T2 - T4 solo in cruiser

No more handholding should be required. Move on to Gila.

Community building ideas

Some further thoughts on community building:

Have competitions for:

   - fastest completion time
   - Highest tier reached in ship-type, solo/group
   - Flying suboptimal fits to show player skill
   - Use competition fits for runs or use your own in two separate categories
   - Highest cost/reward ration category

Use competition to create a community that's both learning together to get better results, make ISK along the way and have fun all at the same time.
Try to get our own money vault to fund competition fits and prizes
Also, save my disaster runs. Have players stream (if possible) intentional mistakes and how to fix them. Often in tutorials they only show what to do, not what to do if you make a mistake
3 vets running T6 on a specific budget and not knowing what the other guys are running in terms of ship, filament type etc. Maybe ban some ships, then do the runs.

To-Do/Issues

   - ISK and IRL skill gain exceed SP-gain. 
   - Finalize desirable IRL and SP skills
   - Competitions? 
   - Create a clearer path to T6 
   - Integrate into other Uni-Activities/Classes (Core-class?) 
   - Ensure market for Filaments + Ships & Modules
   - Structure wiki
   - Chat-lounge with cheat-sheets
   - Migrate info from third party websites to wiki
   - Find a way to troubleshoot individual newbros

Chat cheat sheet:

• Electrical
  • Spark Lance = High DPS
  • Tessera / Drekavac = Keep at +11km range
  • Devoted = Fight at close range
  • Overmind / Karen / Leshak = Spiral into Orbit at 500 -> keep frig alive
  • Snarecaster / Entangle / Warden / Upholder / Tangling / Fisher / Arrester = Web
  • Nullcharge / Dissipator / Firewatcher / Starving / Smith / Drainer = Neut
  • Preserver / Renewing / Priest = Reps

• • Kikimora / Drainer Marshal = Kill first

DPS / EHP/s checks per filament tier

	Tier	DPS	EHP
	T0	100	100
	T1	150	150
	T2	300	300
	T3	450	450
	T4	600	600
	T5	750	750
	T6	900	900

Remark that Darks are easier on tank. Chris Halsky (talk) 16:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Other activities - Where to go from here

Once you are able to solo T1 in a frigate while using above skills you should be able to apply these skills to do cruiser runs as well as many other activities such as (integrate other parts of Uni to take advantage/give natural progression):

   - Tackle in a fleet (Spiral in to enemy, keep correct range to not die while keeping tackle)
   - FC in a fleet (call out targets, stay calm under pressure) 
   - DPS in fleet (module and heat management, staying calm under pressure)
   - Running missions
   - Faction Warfare
   - NullSec
   - Learn how to scan and run anomalies 
   - Learn about standings and how to run missions 
   - Learn about mining
   - Learn about industry
