pm me your character name. I'll give you some money to get you started regardless of where you end up in the end. Just keep in mind that when you do missions in highsec, your first few days will not be rewarding. Lack of sp often means you can't kill stuff fast enough and end up with a repair bill. That will change shortly.

BIG VINCE COMIN FOR YOU

Eh, I'd still point true newbies to tackle. It gets new players comfortable with treating ships like ammunition, and a well-placed T1 frigate with tackle can still be really helpful on almost any type of fleet.

I think FCs get annoyed when half the fleet shows up to a Baltecfleet in Interceptors because nobody wants to get a battleship back home if they have to logoff mid-fight.

Flying tackle frigates is probably one of the more mechanically demanding things you can do in eve. I get it because slashers are cheap, but new players would be 1000% more useful in a maulus or some other form of gently caress-you-ewar.

I think you're hosed, considering that there are people who have been through a whole line of Goonswarm Federation and allies alliances who are still rocking the wrong tags, however if you have a nice single-malt scotch you can send to him, he might help.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.
It's important to point out that the best way to make money as a new bee is to lose doctrine ships in glorious combat.

For example, with everything factored in, you will make a profit of about 28m by losing a Cormorant or 48m losing a Harpy.

The snekmen don't understand this, but them loitering in the Querious Fight Club is really nice of them. If only they wouldn't pass this much, krabbing by death would be much more profitable. (Obligatory Soundcloud link https://soundcloud.com/the-neolithicaus/we-are-going-to-pass-pgl-mix-demo )

The amount of money you can possibly make mining/ratting in highsec as a brand new character is miniscule.

Echoing someone else's comment - PM me your in-game name and I'll send you more ISK than you'd likely make in a month doing what you're doing, but what is essentially chump change to me.

Embarassing newbie story: When I first started playing (back when the tutorial was even more terrible) I didn't realize there was a warp drive on the ship. The game gave me a mission to fly to some beacon so I undocked, found the beacon and started slowboating towards it, several AU away. After I complained to a friend about how I had been flying for 30 minutes and not gotten noticeably closer he helpfully suggested I warp to it. :v:

Listen to this. Train into a doctrine ship so you can lose it for the benefit of the swarm and make money doing so. The Cormorant is probably the easiest to train into and leads directly to the Harpy, Ferox and Rokh. Until then you can fly a Maulus (Gallente electronic warfare frigate) which only needs a few hours of training from starting out as Gallente and is always welcome and useful on fleets.

Not necessarily. You can also make a Khanid (Amarr) character and their skin can be made as black as midnight.
