Well, I´m not really what you might call a highbee... Played this game one week, before I switched to WoW trial.
I fly a destroyer (with gun-turrets), which is esp good in killing frigates if I´m not mistaken. The cargohold isnt too small, 400 m3, but not nearly big enough to be a hauler.
But maybe with some time I can provide a 'scary battleship'.

Of course, I could make some alt for helping here, but it will be an alt, planning to keep Safran as main.
My main is prolly long way from you guys anyway, but maybe not, and maybe he can be useful somewhere in the corp, would be nice!

Small update, since I'm rather happy with my progress in my first 24 hours: ;)
  • I'm the proud owner of a Caldari Bantam frigate outfitted with 2 basic mining lasers and 2 extended cargo bays, in addition to a shield booster and shield extender.
    Hoping these will give me enough time to warp out, as the tub is essentially unarmed.  ::)
    I'm planning to put some more points in mining tomorrow, to upgrade the mining lasers. Thinking of getting Miners II, when I get to mining IV.
  • I've managed to get a somewhat steady income by mining. Even though I'm most likely getting ripped off by selling at the nearest station, 25k ISK per mining run isn't bad for a newb like me. And that was without the extended cargo space. :)
  • I have the feeling my poor little Ibis has gone about as far as it can go for ratting (3 or 4 missions out of the 10 initial ones down now) - next step will be to outfit the condor with a battle setup and kill some more npc pirates! Harrrr!

Suggesions for the outfitting of the Condor would be much appreciated.
Also I'm looking forward to the joint mining adventure...but I suppose there's still some training to be done before that. What kind of mining vessel would be good for such an enterprise? Would the Caldari Osprey do or am I not thinking big enough and should I aim for a mining barge before bugging you? ;)

chuck it

2 standard missile launcher Is
Small shield extender
small shield booster

wack in an Inertia stabilizer (if you trained hull upgrades) for fast retreat if shields are gonna fail (docking at a station insta recharges shields and cap)

its not pretty but it will do level 1 missions no probs just swap missile types depending on who your fighting.

and your left with a high slot to fit say a salvager or something else ;)

Or if you have Caldari frigates III upgrade to a Kestrel for  4 missile launchers ;)  (cost about 230k for ship which could buy about 8-9 condor :)  )

this is what im using on my level 1 missions at the mo its pretty much insta kill with 1 salvo per rat (except mission targets which can take a bit longer)  fit it as the condor above but with 2 extra launchers and an extra extender ;)

Bah, curse on you all  >:(

I went and started a new trial last night after all. Which means I haven't slept much last night (been at work already for over an hour) :P

I did the tutorials, and then went exploring a bit the surroundings. Then I scrapped that toon and started from scratch again.

My character (called Swuul) has now followed the tutorial through, done some mining to get cash for Cybernetics I (as Vac said I should get, altough I am not quite sure why  ;D) and spent it all on that book (but had only a short while to spend on training it actually). Now while I am at work Swuul studies Spaceship Command IV  (couldn't think of anything else that would last for more than a few hours and that I would be needing at some near future).

I suppose mining is not a too good source of money at this stage, I get about 9k ISK per mining-run. The newbie guide says I'll be getting some new ship, if I just stick with my agent and do all the tasks he gives to me. I wonder if I need to get any skills to use that ship (and wonder what that ship is...). I guess the smartest thing to do for now is to do the quests my agent is providing, and do mining etc later on, when I have access to better ships (or even drones, seen mining drone swarms at the asteroid belts I've been mining at, and they do look mighty effective) and have had time to upgrade my Mining skill?

Any further advice would be appreciated. Below is the current status of my toon:

I am wondering what to do. Stick with Safran Foer with 4 int, 18 perc, 7 cha, 12 willp and 5 memory and turn a hardy fighter out of him to protect you lot, or to roll a toon that I will spec to trading and give him an industrial ship (something like Hoarder (5k m3 cargo space, about 430k isk) and later Mammoth (5.6k m3 cargo space, about 800k isk))

Safran could do some mining and running, but won't fetch much money with 7 cha. He'd do better as fighter/salvager as that is what he will be specced for. Will be able to salvage in 1 or 2 days.

Aaah, I finally figured out something on myself  :o

There are different type of ores. Mining Dense Veldspar nets me 12k per run, instead of the normal Veldspar. Which means I get money way faster. Which means I can buy those lowbie books :)  So, I have now added Navigation and Afterburner to my skills (in addition to the Cyberthingy I learned too) :)

couple of ore links :)  as you see the "better" rocks give a 5% or 10% increase in minerals.

Nice, somebody just gave me 50k ISK like that. I tried to smell rotten dogs, but as far as I can see it was a genuine gift.

Which means I am half way to buying a Merlin :)
