In my early days of the game I spent at least twice as much time reading on evelopedia and other sites as I did actually playing the game. I think it would be almost impossible for someone to learn this game on their own without going to such outside sources (or having a friend or corp to help them out).<br /><br />I laughed at the part where you describe her new ship. Sounds a lot like my earliest ship.<br /><br />I just started an alt not to long ago, and even though I'm more experienced now, I did the same thing. AT the end of the career tutorials I fitted my punisher with whatever mods I had. I had some armor mods, some shield mods, all kinds of stuff. It worked great for me. That early in your career the missions are really easy so your fit doesn't matter much. I found it better to not spend any money and just use what I had lying around until the missions became more challenging. Then when I did upgrade to a true armor tank fit, it was a real power up!Lex Starwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09392435740633939806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174961188649730147.post-1028953901633948522011-01-29T14:43:06.644+00:002011-01-29T14:43:06.644+00:00Yes, I completely understand how your sister feels...Yes, I completely understand how your sister feels, having only started myself two months ago. The user interface felt like someone had thrown me into a swimming pool, and while I was drowning, they explained how I should move my arms to make swimming motions. Not the most effective way of selling a MMO to a new user. From comments in the rookie help chat, I see that many people get frustrated fast and leave the trial during this experience. Good luck for your sister, as it is a great experience once you get past the first few meters of the cliff. What saved my EVE experience was that I met someone on the first day who suggested I should join the EVE University, and I have been happy ever since.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
