Perhaps I should of been more specific. Yes there is a learning curve and an unending flow of new information each time you play. However success in EvE (as vague as that is) is based on your ability to comprehend and apply data. Thus if you are competent you will obtain what you need, and if not you will fail. This is of course imho, others may disagree. | ||

Any recommendations on a new corp for me? I'd really love to stop afk training and actually play. Quitting LoL for it methinks. 26m SP main combat toon. Ideally I'd join an active FW or lowsec pvp group so I can actually learn to PvP rather than press F1 in giant blobs. Any thoughts before I'm forced to browse eveonline recruitment forums? | ||

This is of course imho, others may disagree. I think one of the reasons that EVE is so interesting and mirrors real life so strongly is that it is an environment where you learn to optimize primarily through failure. There is some strange particular flaw present in the human mind which causes it difficulty in setting up working, unproblematic systems of interaction. If not for the momentum of historic events and the reflective surface of history, mankind would repeat all its mistakes endlessly. But even on a personal level, we learn through failure. Some people don't learn from failure because they misattribute personal failure to external sources. I think this is what you are trying to refer to when saying "you've either got it or you don't". Being able to learn from failure is an essential part of EVE. The real trick is that we can learn from the failure of others, and those who learn more from the failures of others are more successful in life as they are in EVE. Hatchery was a place where failure was put in spotlights, and generally people who roughed it through learned very quickly while those who couldn't suffer the injury to their undeserved pride left almost immediately. | ||

Some players were better pvp'rs than me in mere months, I've been playing on and off for 2 years, finally feel like a competent pilot and small gang FC. Of course my standards are much lower than TL's were. I failed more times than I can count at everything I did, and at times still get frustrated, but eventually I calm down and keep hammering away. My corp is recruiting, you can mail me on TL if your interested. | ||

 http://www.teamliquid.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17793880 I don't even I disagree. EVE performance requires having a lot of accurate knowledge and a good mental model. Both can be corrected with good instruction. its mostly the latter, knowledge can be taught, the realization that one is still bad at game...not so much | ||

I know I'm crappy and try to learn from everyone who has something to offer, but at least I've come a long way since last summer in Hatchery, which was pretty embarrassing overall.  | ||

Racial Frigate IV > Destroyers V > Racial Cruiser III > Battlecruisers V Wherever your training is at when the skill change is implemented, that is where the new racial Destroyer/BC skill will be at. If all you have is Amarr Cruiser IV and BC IV, you won't receive Caldari BC IV after the skill change. There will be no "free" SP. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. The level of intelligence on EVE-O diminishes by the day. | ||

Wait, what? | ||

There are people on the EVE-O forums who, either out of stupidity or laziness, think that when the skill change from Generic Destroyer/Battlecruiser > Racial Destroyer/Battlecruiser happens, if they don't train the pre-requisite skills (Racial Frig IV, Racial Cruiser III) required to be reimbursed, will instead be given free, un-allocated SP by CCP after the patch. Let me try to dig up some of the posts real quick. Mind you, these are posts in recent threads. The skill change was announced a year ago, and a devblog that spelled out the skill change in words that a 12 year old could understand was posted two months ago explaining what would be happening. | ||

When the patch comes through you will get distributable points for the racial BC you don’t have the prerequisites for totalling up to 1.5 million SP to distribute. Don’t waste them, train the prerequisite and then apply the SP to BC’s Effectively allowing you to train them by clicking ‘distribute points’ whenever you like. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3034776#post3034776 + Show Spoiler + You only get unallocated SP if you have skill in BC and NO cruiser skills. If you have any cruiser skills at all, you get no unallocated SP. Even if you have no cruiser skills, you only get as much unallocated SP as you've spent in BC, so you might as well have just trained that SP in whatever you wanted it in anyway. Edit: the last one doesn't even make sense? You have to train at least one Racial Cruiser skill to III before even being able to inject BC... | ||
