Any suggestions, thank you so much.
OK so you like cruisers but, being a noob, you should know that ship size is not everything. It's not the size really, it's what you do with it.
(Same idea works with women I'm told)
What you need to know early on, to avoid mistakes, is to know what your speed is, literally. Why cruisers? Are battle cruisers too slow for you? Maybe you'll like them instead. How about battleships? Or maybe a cruiser is a stepping stone for you on towards a bigger ship?
You like speed? How about frigates that can almost do cruiser damage - you can train up frigates instead and fly advanced frigates like assault frigates or stealth bombers. If you like speed and that fighter jet feel, you should not bother with cruisers.
Maybe you want to run missions and bring in ISK and loyalty points. As a new player you can be doing that in a few weeks, but then you would be best in a battleship with the optimal fitting and skills for that.
So, get connected with your play style, find the ship you like that fits it in fitting and attribute, then establish that as your target.
Then when you see the Show info option on your chosen ship based on your style and needs, look at the Mastery tabs. THOSE are the skills you will train. Having a goal for a play style and what you intend to use a chosen ship for lets you put a laser focus on the skills you need to train, and when you do that, you will be just as effective as a bittervet like myself, maybe even more so.
As others have stated the epic arc and the tutorial missions will provide you with ISK and some ships to get your beak wet in. I too highly recommend them. The worst mistake you can make is to dally around with your skills and your ship options. Your account has three slots, so don't go thinking you will be missing out if you don't "try everything" on one character (you can't, and you will waste a lot of time, maybe months)

^^ This.
I am not brand new, but still under 3M skillpoints. I jumped into a corp and started doing nothing but setting up tacticals and scouting out for corp/alliance mates doing hauling. Just scouting/setting up corp. bookmarks gave me over 100M isk in donations in my first week alone.
I have a cloaked t1 frigate that i am using while i train into better ships, and regularly get 25-100M ISK thank you donations simply for running errands for more experienced people who have better things to do with their time. By far the easiest way to make ISK as a new player. |

I can confirm the newbie love. I finished the tutorials, went to low sec, got steamrolled, got a 5 mil donation. Did it again a few times, and got a 50 mil donation. People here like newbies trying to poke them with Tech 1 frigates. It's science, I think. Newbie looking to grow and learn to PvP with other newbies? Join BUMP POW today! |

People have suggested PLEX. Great for the impatient who have IRL money to spend. Keep in mind that you do need a certain amount of isk to sell PLEX depending on the sell price and the way that you sell it.
I also suggest learning to purchase items in places where the pricing is competitive.
Some corporations give out ships for free. See if you can join one. A T1 cruiser hull is cheap.
If you're clever and evasive enough - go to the site of a recent battle and salvage the wrecks. You can also offer to salvage wrecks from sites completed by someone else. Often people will let you do it out of courtesy. |

Wrong Jonah. TRIAL accounts are restricted to posting in the NCQA. A new player that straight away pays for the sub can use all forum parts. New player =/= Trial member EDIT: 2 day character, want to fly cruisers I can see this ending very bad (either with a failfitted cruiser - which is a shame for the cruiser or in a nice lossmail because of it). I stand corrected . Edited the original post to reflect it. Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into the brain, where they ferment. They then migrate to your keyboard via your fingers. That's where shiptoasts come from.

I lolled! And op? did u receive cruisers and iskies?
EDIT: What exactly are u planning to do with that cruiser? Do u have a particular cruiser in mind?
My advice, do it all, do some missions, do some mining and find out what u like most. actually, since u paid for ur sub, go join a corp, they might just give u a cruiser and advice. |

Phishing for donations works, but PLEX was still the correct answer to your question.

My advice:
Train Contracting 1.
Look at the contract system. You want to buy a rubbish item named 'Elite Drone AI'. Pay no more than 1m ISK for it. These items are almost totally useless, and mission runners get them in large quantities.
Go to a system where lots of people run missions, and take the AI with you. Osmon works, as does Apanake.
Now, post a 'Want to Sell' contract for the Elite Drone AI at 200m ISK. This will cost a small deposit (about 1m ISK IIRC). Drag the contract into local chat and a link will appear saying Item Exchange (Elite Drone AI).
Using your keyboard, navigate inside that text and change it to "Want to Buy: Elite Drone AI 200 Million ISK". Then type 'need this for a storyline mission, ganker stole mine, help please'.
It doesn't work often, but you will succeed in finding someone who is both greedy enough to want to sell you a bad item for 200m ISK, and careless enough not to read the contract properly. After that, you get 200m ISK and they get a piece of garbage.

Not always.. but in general gallente does have lots of ships with drone bonuses..
Just make sure your skill is up to par before trying to take risks.. ie try and get a few lvls of cruiser instead of jumping into one at lvl 1
Id go to isis aand check the gallente cruiser line.. pick which ship you like best and check on the mastery tab.. those skills are important for you to learn.. |

Vexor is pretty good for a starting character and in my opinion way better for level 2 missions than the Thorax. Drone skills are quite usefull in general for pretty much all ships in EvE. |

You can use that to do missions and earn enough cash for a cruiser, but I also suggest that before you fly one, you spend a bit of time training up the cruiser and medium weapons skills above one or two. That way you aren't flying the ship with bad skills and get blown up after you just get it.
There is also a maxim in EVE that works pretty well. "don't fly what you can't afford to lose". This means that you shouldn't seriously use anything that you can't replace easily. So make sure you have a good nest egg built up before you move up a ship class.
Destroyers can work outside of that though, as they are almost as cheap as frigates, they just use more guns is all. Both are effective at doing low level missions.
This is one of the better advices here. Dont try to rush it but make sure your supporting skills are up to the task (your tanking skills, gunnery/missile skills with the extra tracking skills and damage etc, fitting skills so you can fit your ship decently) |

How about take it slow and build up skills to support flying a cruiser. A quick way to lose a ship is to fly it as soon as you buy it.
Unless you just plan on spinning it. Then run a scam. This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

The fastest way I did this with an alt was run tutorials till it gave me an incursus, then go to static serp ded 1, get c-types, sell and buy comet for alt. nowadays, I would run tutorials till I had probe launcher, imicus and fit and then scan 1.0 to 0.8 systems for ded 1, ded 2 and hideouts, get overseer loots, sell and buy fun ship. It takes longer than it used to, but that is also reflected in raised prices for the items, ie income is still probably 10x newbie mission running, and still better than l3s in a drake.

Salvage market was decimated by last few patches. And salvage L1 mission wrecks with T1 salvager and newbee skills is nothing more, then a waist of time IMHO. Salvage is valid option if you get to L3 or L4 security mission wrecks.
OP, executing ALL tutorial missions would give you over 10 milions ISK if you sell everything except one or two ships. I suggest you keep catalyst and venture. Ran L1 security missions for Chemal Tech in Doussivitte or (since you already got a cruiser) train some social skills and go straight to Unel - there you can ran L2 security missions. Loot and loyalty points will give you most income untill you get all necessary skills and decide what to do in Eve. PvP will not be cheap even if you start it right (I mean - join some FW corp). You will need stady income and security missions can be a good one. You need almost same skills as for PvP and it is not that boring as mining or trade. When you find time - train Planetary Interaction. It is a good passive income, together with R&D datacores farming it can give you possibility to lose cheap frigates more often ;) But to get this passive income you need to invest time to learn skills, that you will never use in PvP. |

Don't think about any out of the box ways to make isk, its not worth it. Just run incursions or go to goons/n3/pl renter space.
On a more serious note do the tutorials and run missions and then try to learn the actual fun aspects of this game |

The special ones are just for show, they cost more because they are pretty.
A regular, Tech 1 cruiser will perform exactly the same.
[edit: And if you focus on drone skills, as per your question above, you want the Vexor. Best Tech 1 drone cruiser. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
