Anything I should know?

I'm trying to make a balanced Caldari Fighter. Got any tips?

make sure you have a high starting perc if you want to be a fighter. at least 8 (around 10 is probably ideal). will is also important b/c it's the secondary attribute for most of the piloting and fighting skills. int/mem are for support skills so you shouldn't skimp on those either. charisma is useless, leave it at 4 if possible. i would rank the attribute importance like perc, int, will/mem

train up the learning skills. I would raise them to level 3/4 first, then train up enough skills to pilot a cruiser (possible a battlecruiser) effectively (just so you don't bore yourself completely) then raise the learning skills to 5 then the advanced ones to lvl 3 (or 4).

is this your thread? :)

Yeah, be careful or you'll slip into a coma due to intense boredom.

Good luck

har har so true. i'm quitting the game after about 3 months of play b/c it's so boring. i just can't stand the travelling time, isk grinding and long skill training. it feels like i'm wasting too much time not having fun.

chocobaR, if you want i can donate a few mil to you since i'm quitting anyway

When you start apparently you are supposed to choose prof. and frigate for your options so that you start out with Frigate at level 4. I found out too late. I dont think im going to continue past the free trial time but before I leave im going to go on a rampage.

get yourself into a good corp right away, that is the only way to play the game

aim for 0.0 space, thats where the life is even though there are fewer players there

Good start. Should put you at Frigate IV off the bat - if you've got the scratch get into a Merlin ASAP. Otherwise, get a Condor and start rathunting for practice.

There's a lot to do in this game that's interesting, provided you join the right corp. The "right corp" would be just a group of players with similar interests banding together under a player-created corporate banner, who work together for both self-interest and common good. More fun comes with pvp and fleet battles in alliance space.

I have tried to get into this game, I downloaded a free demo but can't help but feel like I'm playing homeworld with a LOT of different features... That and it's more work to get to places to blow stuff up. ;)

I tried searching for your game name but it couldn't find anything. It's probably b/c the server needs some time because your avatar is still "!" on the forums... can't send money if I can't get your name. I'll try again later. I've been giving isks away to noobs ;)

I changed my character cause I messed up on the attributes. My new character is Jancis :) He's a lot more balanced now.

Intelligence 8
Charisma 6
Perception 10
Memory 8
Willpower 9 (will be at 10 in about 9 hours)

I have about 260K. I will buy a Merlin when I get enough :) Going to bed now unless you're still on? Anyways, I'll be on all day tomorrow I bet :)
