Unstable Unit
Unstable Unit is a Gallente capsuleer born on Jan 2nd '10. She joined E-UNI on Jan 7th but didn't attend her first official Class until a full month later. Her early weeks were spent getting to grips with the basics and getting to know some of her fellow Unistas in Chat.E-Uni and TS.

As a new pilot, and female, I felt more than a little out of my depth in EVE at first. It all seemed so technical and confusing! However, I soon started to understand bits and pieces, and gradually these fragments have started falling together in a jigsaw of understanding. Of course I've barely got the edges done and am many months (or perhaps years!!) away from any kind of completed picture yet!! :P
Listening in on teamspeak and chat, asking questions, and good, old-fashioned trial and error and learning by experience (and disaster!) are going to be the way forward for all newcomers, but there have been some tips and pieces of info that I've found especially useful or enlightening, and I've decided to stick these here in the hope they may help someone else one day!! The tutors at E-UNI are invaluable, but just occasionally I think they forget how it feels to be new in New Eden! These are a few snippets FROM a newb, FOR newbs. I'll add them as I get (or remember) them!!
- Sisters of Eve epic arc: do this with the opposite side to whichever race you are. This will make it easier.
- If your standing with one race is low, you can help regain them quicker by doing missions with their friendly races ie: the Gallente like the Minmatar, so if you do storyline missions for the Minmatar, your Gallente standings will go up. This is because of "Derived Modification".
- When you start getting +2 implants, don't put them in over your +1's, thus destroying them. Get a Jump Clone and put the +2's into that instead (and so on with +3's etc) This way, if you want to try your hand at pvp or something, and dont want to risk your +3 implants, you can take a lower-implanted JC: doesn't matter too much if it gets killed and you make use of the +1 while you're in it :)
