Are there any quick link chatters that play Eve and fancy giving a learner some tech tips , finding the layout a little corporate to say the least.
"Im mining" , scuse the pun!
I do feel a little like Darth Garth Waynes World when i try to go beyond this fruitfully easy task...Help me pass my blueprint and training sustanance so i can appreciate the possible wonders of a fully concertable machine.
My months free trial runs out soon and i need to know this info or it,s almost pointless reconnecting.

I honestly can't quite tell if this is a person with regional bad english (i.e. the different between British English/Australian English/Indian English/American English) or a bot that at least has a small inkling of the game.

In anycase, I play Eve Online. I believe we have an old thread around here that probably hasn't been posted to in about 2-3 years. There is no good way for anyone to give a quick how-to/tips on the game, as there are simply too many things you can do and too many ways to be greifed/scammed/trolled. The only way to learn is to read up on the game and the game mechanics, watch tons of youtube/twitch videos, and/or join a training corporation like "Eve University". With the new character skill point bonus, you can get right into PvP now if you select the proper skills, but you need some starting isk in order to do that. It has been so long since I have been poor that I really can only say that it is very difficult starting out. You can barely afford the ship/equipment you need if you are going solo and have not found a decent corp that can help pay for things.

I believe I started off running missions and salvaging them. Once I had my first 100million isk, I then started trade hub marketing (i.e. check price difference on a few dozen different items between "Jita and Rens", or "Jita and Dodixie", and then stock up on the average daily sales of that item at the destination system, buy them cheap at Jita and sell them at the higher price at the destination). I made 30-40 billion isk doing that (it was a lot easier back then, so I don't know how difficult it is now, since back then I slowly trained up for an Orca which you could store the expensive items in the corporate hanger and if you were shot/killed nothing from that corporate hanger could ever drop to the people who killed you, but now, that is no longer the case and it only takes a group of people in cheap destroyers to kill an Orca or even a freighter anymore, so moving 4-5 billion of items like I use to do in the Orca at once isn't something you can do anymore as you will get ganked, killed and looted, but on that 4-5 billion haul I would usually make 1-1.5 billion in profits).
