gallente ships aren't bad. Gallente ships are worse than other ships in situations in which hatchery fc's enjoy flying in. With the exception of eaf's, each race / class of ship has a niche in which it excels beyond the other four. People in corp prefer drakes / minnie ships because drakes excel at being the best ship in the game at everything while minnie ships are fast and deal a lot of damage while being able to dps from outside scram range if necessary. Should you ever find yourself in a situation where you know you will never need to run or take damage and your target is big and slow and at 0km, a blasterfit gallente ship would be your best choice to deal damage unless you can fly typhoons or drakes. This doesn't really happen outside of station camping or i guess warping in on a mission runner or something, though, so you prob. shud just join the drake army.

Managing ammo is simpler than managing cap in every way. Drones are not difficult unless you're literally retarded.

Skills are balanced around the training multiplier. The 'harder' a skill is to learn, the higher the multiplier is. Easy skills that all characters need access to are like 1-2x at most, while more specialized skills (like titans and t2 ships and stuff) are really high. The rate at which your character gains skillpoints depends on attributes and implants and the primary / secondary attributes of the skill you're training, but what number of skillpoints the skill takes to max (the 1x / 2x / 20x or w/e) does not change.

If you plan a sensible route, you can get about anywhere in eve without dying. iirc if you go hisec to rens (sp?) you'd be pretty close to the hatchery's stomping grounds, but talk to someone first if this will take you a while. From there, yes, if you go into losec, you will get fucked up by someone if you don't know what your'e doing. This is something you need to make peace with. Fly a cheap ship.

Don't attack people in .5 and above. Don't attack people in .4 and below unless either:
a) your fc tells you to
b) you know what you're doing
c) they're in something way more expensive than what you're flying
d) they're not on a station or gate and you can afford to lose what you're flying and you think you can kill them and there's nothing too scary on d-scan

also if you go through that checklist and you SEE someone on grid in .4 or below, gtfo unless you're on a station or gate, and in either case, be ready to dock / warp / jump.

System security is a measure of the approximate saftey of space. There are three categories of space: nullsec, which has bubbles, no gate / station guns, and no sec loss; losec, which has gate + station guns but no concord, and you lose a small amount of sec for starting fights; and hisec, which has concord which will kill you if you start a fight. Hisec is >= .5, losec is >= 0.1. The actual number determines how good of rats / missions you get, the lower the better. Nullsec actually has (had? they might have changed this) a 'true' sec rating below 0 which determined the quality of rats that spawned, following the same rules (lower the better)

you should probably just chill, worry less, and die more. eve is a video game. Mistakes are okay.

As a noob, what I take away from the previous poster is: Stay the hell away from other players :S What about ships then, why are you saying Gallente ships are so bad? And so far I'hve only used Amarr ships, sounded simple to just manage cap and blast lazors, rather than droning, using ammo and whatnot, how much more complex are the others? And my academy only dictates my starting zone? Nothing more? I'm also curious as to what dictates the x-factor on training skills, why are some skills 3x and some 2x? Is it just specific or does it depend on my character in some way?

Also, where are you guys located? Will I die just travelling there? I'hve never entered space lower than 0.7 atm, I'm newbiequesting in Deepari (Domain) right now.
My m8 tells me that its convention to not attack anyone in 0.5 or higher, but why was your guy above me in such perils? Am I in such perils? What does the 0.X really mean?

(I'm an engineer with an obsessive case of knowing everything if you wonder why I'm so neurotic about all these things)

seeing as you seem utterly incapable of reading the opening post and following basic directions but instead rely on being spoonfed information in order to bear any resemblance to competence at a game, i'd say your chances of thriving in Hatchery seem quite low. best of luck to you regardless.
