=== Support Skills are important ===

Even when you have the minimum skills to sit in a ship, this does not mean you should fly it, and it doesn't mean that you can fly it well. [[Support Skills]] are important skills which will improve you ability to fly various ships, and they should not be overlooked.

Even when you have the minimum skills to sit in a ship, this does not mean you should fly it, and it doesn't mean that you can fly it well. [[Support Skills]] are important skills which will improve you ability to fly various ships, and they should not be overlooked. Take the time to train into them properly.

One of the most common mistakes newer players make is thinking that moving onto the next size hull is something you need to do quickly. The thinking that "bigger is better" tends to prevail. Bigger isn't better in EVE Online. It can take exponentially more time to become trained up and effective in a higher size/grade hull. Be patient and learn why and how the various hulls are used. Small ships can take down bigger ships in PvP. This occurs often because the pilot in the smaller ship has an excellent fit (all the appropriate skills trained up), and they have experience.

A good write-up on what new players should train can be found on the Uni forums, called [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=81073|The Magic 14].
