I am looking to start EVE and get into it. I work very long hours so it comes in handy when it takes a couple of days or weeks to learn a skill.
I was told one can purchase a player/avatar, so I will most likely end up doing that since I dont want to spend a year learning skills and then enjoy the game.

When I saw this: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4056/4339410221_12d667f5b1_o.png

I was willing to purchase a Dreadnought right off the bat. But after a little while thinking about it. I figured I should probably know how to play before I buy a ship like that.

So here I am, looking for someone willing to help teach me, and maybe help with finding articles worth reading, help me sort out the good ones from the bad ones.

I was told 1 account can have 3 characters/avatars. Since it is allowed to run 2 instances of EVE (paying double though) is allowed. I might do this as well. Perhaps get a good mining ship and a good ship for defending vs attacks or pirates. Not too sure yet, as this is something I would need help with.

I am guessing I am missing some info on here so if there are any questions. Please post. I check daily and will respond.

you can run multiple instances, but you can not use a different char on the same account.

For ex,
Acc: A Client: A
Acc: B Client: B
Acc: C Client: C

NOT:

Acc: A Client: A
Acc: A Client: B
Acc: A Client: C

Also you would have to buy plex at a rate of $17-80 USD per one from CCP in order to legally obtain isk. The plex has a value of ~480-500mil currently on the market.
Just a heads up, anything over a starter character and your looking at 4bil +
~10 bil can get you a decent pilot for someone just starting up.

There is so much to the game before you figure out what you want to play. Most likely you will not want a dreadnought until you actually know their purpose (which is limited)
Personally if you want to maximize fun, and enjoy pvp look into a completely sub capital pilot. (No carriers, No Dreadnoughts, no titans)

There is so much shit to say to a new player, i think i typed it up once before so i could just send it to every new player. Let me check if i still have it.

/e I can't find it on this comp

But also check out this thread, it may have some use to you since you will be a new player.

That is what I thought. I probably wont go straight for a dreadnought, but something smaller possibly better?
Either way, according to the rates you listed, it would mean about 170-180$ for a 10 bill char... thats very acceptable. I was expecting somewhere around 500 for the char, ship, and everything included.

I guess I will acquire a char first, and go from there.

I will most likely end up getting one of your 21 day passes. Maybe even a few. I wont be able to get on EVE right away, maybe a few days or a few weeks. So I hope you can hold on to a few of those

I have plenty, so no worries

edit:

Your looking at getting 10bil for $370-$380

That is where you can go to find characters

Also as a side note, i am always looking into characters. So if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a pm.
Also I have a pilot with about 13mil SP, has the ability to fly a jump freighter with support skills, and has some minor PvP abilities. Its a great starting toon, if it sounds somewhat interested let me know im willing to part with him for a reasonable price.

If you are wanting to buy a character, I would suggest playing one you create first. When you are starting out you have no idea what you will actually enjoy in the game. Eve does have some longer training skills, but it eases you in to the game, and you learn most of the mods and their pro's and con's because of the training system.

Roughly $35 per bil is what you are looking at for USD to ISK.

Also, people usually pay you 300-400m if you make an account with their 21 day pass. So don't let someone cheat you and not give you anything.

Thats a pretty cool thread, i didn't even know that was up.

Anyway I am still willing to hand out offers, if you feel mine isn't reasonable shoot me a PM. I aim to please, so hopefully we can reach an agreement.

Looking for a 21 day pass

just a heads up.... dreads are fun, and have thier uses, but those uses are few and far between unless you are in a heavily contested area of null sec, or willing to risk one in a major way EVERY time you undock in lowsec. If you want to fly a cap I would sugest carrier's. They're just all around more fun than dreads. Also, no cap ship is new player friendly. If you have a bucket of cash to throw at the game I would suggest buying a tengu pilot and getting some cheap (and by cheap i still mean around 700 million apiece) pvp setups. I use a 2.5 billion isk tengu for plex running (plex in this context is short for complex, a semi-instanced dungeon is the closest explanation) but I fly an 800 million tengu for solo pvp in nullsec. They are the kings of gate camp escape (look up interdiction nullifier and covert-opperations reconfiguration subsystems) and while being about as safe as you can be in nullsec they still put out 400ish dps. dreads on the other hand can put out thousands of dps.... but only against VERY large stationary targets. you can get a solid tengu pilot on the character bazzar for around 6-7 billion, a dread pilot that has the skills to fly one competently will run you a minimum of 10 bil and more likely 14+

Message me for a 21 day pass.
