<!-- Certificates "system" replaced by Mastery and Cert List, paragraph deprecated
 
Beyond this guide, one may also want to check out the certificates system within EVE. It serves as a handy reference for if you want to train for a specific task or role. Note that completing a certificate does not give any boosts or bonuses, they are (for now) merely suggestions. They may be accessed in-game on your character sheet, in the "Certificates" tab of the "Skills" section.

[[Category:Getting Started]]
 
 
Here you will find some compiled skill plans from the basic skills listed above. The idea is to provide a good starting point for new players who are interested in PvP or general combat. In order to use these skillplans you need to download the associated zip-file, extract the plans from those files (using [http://www.7-zip.org/ 7zip] or similar) and then import the skillplan into [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Guide_to_using_EVEMon EVEmon].<br>
 
Also keep in mind that the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Skillbook_program Eve University Skillbook Program] provides most of these skills for free.
 
 
 
NB: The skill lists for both skillplans have been updated to reflect the changes in Kronos (June 2014), but the associated downloads have not.
 
 
 
=== Minimum recommended skillplan ===
 
 
 
In this plan you will find alot of different skills, ranging from shield and armor tanks, active and passive, to e-war skills, gunnery and missile skills, navigation skills ect. The idea is to provide all skills you need in order to be able to fly ALL races frigates somewhat effectively. Any character will have some of the skills included in this trained already, but there is a good chance that you're missing at least a few of them. So you could just import this plan into EVEmon and see what you are missing. Also, if you want to, you could of course ignore specific skills (if you plan on only flying armor tanked ships you could ignore the shield skills for example).
 
Once you trained all skills in this plan you should be able to fly all T1 frigates in all roles quite well. At that point you can try out different things, see if you find something you really like to do and then focus on that.<br>

=== Advanced recommended skillplan ===
 
 
 
In this plan you will find all the skills that are in the minimum plan, but most of them trained to a higher level and also some additional skills that are not in the minimum skillplan at all. The idea for this plan is to provide a solid skillset to be able to fly all races T1 frigates very efficiently, though not yet maxed out. Training all these skills will take a much longer time but will provide a very good base from which you can move on into bigger and/or more specialized ships.<br>

=== EFT characters  ===
 
If you want to you can download these characters and import them into [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EFT EFT]. These characters will have all the skills of their associated skillplans as listed above. You could use these to see how training these skills would affect any ship setup you might have in EFT and also you can easily compare the effects of training up from the minimum plan to the advanced plan.<br>
 

Latest revision as of 17:16, 5 April 2022

These are basic skill recommendations. None of these skills have prerequisites above level III, and are thus easily accessible to new players. They will provide a solid foundation upon which to develop more advanced skills and fit more advanced modules.

The list has been grouped to match the in-game Skill categories. Some of the skills below are useful in your early days only to use some basic modules; others will increase your ship's performance directly and should be trained up to level II or III relatively fast. Where applicable which races of ship commonly benefit from a skill are included in parenthesis, but understand that the racial bonuses of a ship are not always a limiting factor of advanced player choices.

Take a look at the skill descriptions to see how they would help you, but understand that the description text does not always reveal the variety of useful skills and modules it unlocks as you train higher. There may be some overlap with the The Magic 14 in this list also. Try using an application like PYFA that lets you see how a ship's attributes are affected by skills. EVEMon is another popular program that will let you plan skill training for your character. These and other useful programs and websites are linked in the 3rd Party Tools article.

Armor

  • Hull Upgrades : 5% bonus to armor hit points per skill level.
  • Mechanics : 5% bonus to structure hit points per skill level.

Electronic Systems

  • Electronic Warfare (Caldari) : 5% less capacitor need for ECM and ECM Burst systems per skill level.

  • Long Distance Jamming : 10% bonus to optimal range of ECM, Remote Sensor Dampers, Tracking Disruptors, Tracking Link, Remote Sensor Boosters and Target Painters per skill level.
  • Propulsion Jamming : 5% reduction to warp scrambler, warp disruptor, and stasis web capacitor need per skill level.
  • Sensor Linking (Gallente) : 5% less capacitor need for sensor link per skill level.
  • Target Painting (Minmatar) : 5% less capacitor need for target painters per skill level.

  • Warp Drive Operation : Each skill level reduces the capacitor need of initiating warp by 10%.

Neural Enhancement

  • Cybernetics : Allows the use of cybernetic implants.
    • Cybernetics can be trained up to level I only, as this gives access up to +3 attribute implants which is sufficient for a new pilot's early career and wallet.
  • Infomorph Psychology : Allows 1 jump clone per level.
    • Having multiple jump clones is readily accessible to new players by joining corporations with jump clone standings.

Planet Management

  • Command Center Upgrades : Each level in this skill improves the quality of command facility available to you, in turn allowing for a greater number of connected facilities on that planet.
  • Interplanetary Consolidation : For each level in this skill, you may install a command center on one additional planet, to a maximum of 6 planets.

  • Astrometrics : +5% scan strength, -5% max scan deviation, and -5% scan probe scan time per level.
  • Hacking : Gives +10 Virus Coherence per level.
  • Survey : 5% improvement per level in the scan speeds of ship, cargo and survey scanners.

Shields

Social

  • Connections : 4% Modifier to effective standing from friendly NPC Corporations and Factions per level.
  • Social : 5% bonus per level to NPC agent, corporation and faction standing increase.

Ship Command

Targeting

Trade

  • Broker Relations : 5% reduction in the costs associated with setting up a market order per skill level.
  • Contracting : For each level of this skill the number of outstanding contracts is increased by four.
  • Marketing : Each level increases the range from the seller to the item being sold.
