Trying to actually learn the game and make some cash... any 101?

[Sinny]

Title. Really needing help. I can get omega plex etc but I feel lost.

Train to fly an astero and do exploration out in wormholes and nullsec. Play paranoid and you'll have a ton of fun and make good cash. Watch a video on how to do direction scanning, probes, hacking and scanning.

If you want to learn combat (PvP) for cheap/free go blindly join Faction Warfare. The people there are dying to teach new people, big chaotic frigate fights are fun.

For relatively safe cash go join a nullsec corp and do mining fleets or belt ratting. I think pandemic gives you free stuff (good setups) and training/skill books to do it. You'll learn everything out that a ways.

I can personally help you survive in safe space with just a cruiser and not that many time. Add me if you would like the help. i can join discord to.

I see you have 136h yourself, pretty new too, do you recommend any youtubers for mining/exploration?

i have started again after a break of a few years. so that i don't jeopardise my years-old character and equipment through a lack of knowledge, i am trying out a new start. the tutorials for beginners in the game are now very good and there are paths that you can follow.

I'm omega, mining mercoxit is what I do, my crystals help me pull in a billion a week if I'm lucky, there's alot of competition out there for that isk. I can run enforcer sites and pull in 20-30 millions. With the ess system you get an extra pop of isk from it. It's a dangerous space out there, I lost a rattlesnake, I've lost a few of those in my career. My goal is to get another one.

That's on 136h on steam, been playing since 2010.

Loru Gaming is good for getting introduced to things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTt8YrLtnSA

Almost everything video wise I learned from is out of date currently. Also check out Eve University channel website, it's wiki like.

If you can't get into a battleship as an alpha, you have no business being omega.

Combat Anomalies and exploration are the easiest, you can do each in a 1-5mil frigate or maybe a 10mil destroyer. The real money from Combat Anoms requires a cruiser, at least, though.

All of this can be done as an alpha. And nothing Omega offers makes learning the game easier.

I dont understand that statement. Praxis can be flown by literally anyone.

Check out the 'Agency' tab ingame. This is where you can find all kind of stuff. From missions to mining to anomalies to signatures, literally everything there will make some money. I recommend just giving everything a shot and see what you enjoy doing. for new players exploration (scanning signature and hacking data/relic sites) is probably the best isk and you learn how to navigate systems. security missions (shooting rats) is a stable for years but as you need to get your standing up to get better paying missions it wont pay much in the beginning. its a good way to test your ship fittings though.

biggest thing is probably to join a corporation. veteran players are usually more than happy to show you the ropes. if you can find a corp in your timezone just fly with them for a bit and see what you can learn. check out https://forums.eveonline.com/c/corporations-alliances/recruitment-center/63 for corp recruitment posts. 'EvE University' is a good corp for new players. they will hook you up with ships and have regular fleet content and a very active community build around helping newer players.

It's simple, if you can't do this very basic task, you aren't skilled enough at EVE to benefit from Omega. Simple as. Anybody who says otherwise is farming referrals and salt.

...Praxis needs spaceship command 1 to fly. literally anyone can fly a battleship on day one. so task already completed?

I don't think you understand how eve works. Are you saying day one you could get 300-500mil?

Also, you're not considering all the other skills that would make a fit viable, like the ability to wield large classed weapons, and the relevant skills to buff their damage, tracking and range.

So yes, technically, a fresh newb could theoretically hop into a Praxis and... do something?

But they'd have no clue what and would likely lose the thing to a gate camp or get webbed by a rat they can't hit.

Assuming they didn't just give up after seeing how long it takes to warp anywhere...

Seriously, your comment contains such ignorance, I now fully understand why you didn't get me the first time. You are clueless.

Like, first rule, only fly what you can replace.

Rule #1 of EVE from launch day, never fly what you can't afford to lose. Whether that's a Venture, a Praxis, or a frickin' Titan.

are you okay little buddy? want me to trade you an exotic dancer to lift your mood? but at least you actually say something with worth now that a new player might actually understand instead of "If you can't get into a battleship as an alpha, you have no business being omega." if you kNeW hOw evE woRkS you would have known that someone would bring up the Praxis with such a stupid comment.
