Drones are DA BOMB. I would so pay 15 euro's a month just to fly around and fuck up everyone that crosses me with a drone armada.

Things about eve.

1. Learning curve vertical (See oft posted diagram)
2. DO play the tutorial and do the tutorial missions. No, really, I mean it. Do it. No, don't think I mean not you, but those other guys. I mean you. Yes. you.
3. Ping me in game on Ornan or XorX and I'll drop you 10M if you're a newbie. The game is incredibly painful in the early weeks without skills.
4. DO NOT gimp yourself by rolling a random character when you subscribe, use the goonfleet character planner - also play with http://www.eve-guides.com/chargen/chargen.php. For your first space pilot class (rather than cyno alt, trade alt, miner, etc) you probably want the race/subtype to be Caldari/Achura.
5. DO spend a few hours learning the 'Learning' skills. Doing it now will make your life much easier.
6. Consider the following URLs BEFORE creating your character.

Caldari/Achura is a good choice for newer players, just dont spec too heavily into missiles now - hell cross train right away to the race you want :D

Learnings skills - I second this. Dont go all slavishly devoted to them, but do work on them in your early weeks, they really really do help in the long term.

Thanks for the linkage vacuum.

My character is called Kumatachi Anaru. He'll still be called that even if I reroll after reading all those links so I can plan the penultimate drone whore. At least for the remainder of my free game time. xD

update:
I actually created my character based on the Gallente PVE drone build over here:
http://wiki.goonfleet.com/index.php?title=Recommended_Base_Stat_Builds

No huge need to start over. Hurray!:D

I think my character automatically shows up in that EVE NEWBS channel that was set up, where beo and cocadude hang out as well.

I think Salvaging is still a way to earn decent ISK while running missions.
The guy who I handed some of my old accounts to sent me some ISK - so I've been able to buy skills, +3's and get onto the training wheel.

Kind of refreshing to start from scratch in many ways, don't have to worry about portals being created anymore  - but I miss the variety of ships I used to have - ah - the joy with HAC's

Buy frigates and fit them with cheap mods, then go try and hurt people :)

4. Drone Durability
5. Scout Drone Operation
6. Electronics
7. Electronic Warfare
8. Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing
9. Energy Management
10. Targeting
11. Electronics Upgrades
12. Long Range Targeting
13. Small Hybrid Turret
14. Motion Prediction
15. Rapid Firing
