Revision as of 02:03, 2 April 2014

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.

The skills have been grouped to help players find skills relevant to their interests. 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. Take a look at the skill descriptions to see how they would help you, and use a program like EFT 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. Cybernetics can be trained up to level I only, as that gives access up to +3 attribute implants which is sufficient for a new pilot's early career.

Read more on Support Skills in our wiki article, which also describes many advanced skills not listed in the basic recommendations below.
