Not click your blog, thanks.
As to risk aversion, I think new players should start in a Null Sec system with a SISI market for 12 hours.

F It is not ISK. I could take a gang of T1 frigates and destroyers out every night and personally SRP all of them. I could get them to undock to fight every tourist that comes our way.
I do not find that type of gang fun enough to do more than in a blue moon.
I go about making ISK, join a few fleet but really keep my eye out for CTAs and Strat Ops. Other than that I avoid PVP, it is too much hassle when it doesn't matter.

Why T1 frigates? Why not *good* ships? My point is that you will be minding your own business and someone comes along, solo to bother everyone. I would rather dock up and do something else than chase them around the system. Less fun for him and less annoyance for me that way.

It's just a mark of someone who carefully considers when to engage, and doesn't leave openings for others to take advantage of. An aware, cautious player. What would be a simple catch-all term for that sort of player. Hmm, maybe "risk averse"? I haven't read back or found the context but that level of risk adversity sounds like a suicide ganker or a hot dropper.

Not quite there but try this: - open loss mail - near top right click Save Fitting - open the list of saved fittings - open the market (on the left, near the top click the Quickbar tab) - drag fitting into Quickbar tab - shopping list now made and you can sort by lowest price in that trade hub

1 - 2 weeks of training into a good T1 frig or destroyer that has a good fit can get you a long way in EVE.
Example: Griffin + knowing how to range tank + good small gang to roll with + having deep tacticals to warp off to + maybe a mobile depot with repair equipment.
Teaching newbies is far more important and more effort than whining about skill points.

Basil, I have seen newbies in Atrons beating Garmurs soloAvaelica Kuershin wrote:... The impression I got is people who fielded very poorly fitted ships get mocked the most, but it is true that getting mocked after a loss does sting. ... When I see a horrible loss mail, I send them a better fit (not a perfect fit, I am not an alliance tournament contender but an improvement) the angry replies you can get doing this ..... yeah ... Though I will say, when Brave were around, they would reply and ask questions, learn more about the fit I send, find out why it is better. There is a healthier mentality there for newbies than a lot of the rest of EVE.

Teaching newbies is far more important and more effort than whining about skill points. I underlined the SP wall leaping mechanics used, which proves my point that without it SP wall will smash your face. And yes, exactly due to believing in crap like this, those Griffins end up on the green side of my alliance's killboard on practically daily basis. I do not advocate solo playing EVE because the mechanics keep making this more and more disadvantagious and it always felt like rock-paper-scissors. 10-15 vs 10-15 is the sweet spot to really learn and feel your impact in a group.

Kaely Tanniss wrote:One thing I have noticed throughout this thread is few, if any, mention skill. I don't mean SP, I mean skill. Skill as a pilot is as much, if not more, important than sp. You can have a bil sp all in combat and someone with a few mil sp that's a better pilot can beat you. Skill and experience are a lot more valuable than SP. SP just dictates what you can use...not how well you can use it. Indeed. If I could pick one super power in EVE; it would be to convince people that SP is not important and PVP can be fun and effective with very little of it.

Here is a problem that exists right now.
The skill wall is too low to sit in a battleship. Newbies train into it with a T1 modules fail fit. Put all their ISK into it and die in this huge ship that should be able to tank in their minds. Quite a few rage quit after losing everything like that.

Imagine you spend 10 years building up a region like Providence. Then virtually over night a group like Brave explodes into existance next to you with no SP requirements.
Everything swept away by a flash mob. No thanks.

No thanks. ... or they can build up and not have a sense of entitlement and immediate self gratification. Skill points also reduced the pay to win factor.
