One day, while skipping through the forest, I heard the voice of Smeghead
<tribesfan@hotmail.com> coming from a tree, and thought, "Man, this is
f*ed up," but carried on the following conversation anyway:

>>>
>>> Mining can be quite lucrative.
>>>
>>> Buy yeah, that's what a lot of people do to start off.
>>>
>>> The missions are also quite lucrative. Be sure to run the storyline
>>> missions without fail. They're the ones that pay off big. And they
>>> strongly affect your standing with various factions within the game.
>>>
>>> If you're going to be running missions, be sure to train up your
>>> Social skill. It improves your standing with the NPC agents and that
>>> means better paying mission rewards.
>>>
>>> Also, have an idea what you want to do with your character. Study up
>>> on their racial strengths and play to that. If you have a scientist,
>>> start training to be able to do research and development. They can
>>> also become effective builders and if you have blueprints, you can
>>> make unlimited copies of the item for only the cost of the materials,
>>> then turn and sell them on the market for a ton of cash. Particularly
>>> if you build Battleships and Cruisers.
>>>
>>> www.eve-i.com is an excellent site for researching training times,
>>> comparing ship stats, etc. It also has a live server stat monitor.
>>> Showing you user numbers in a scalable graph from minutes to hours to
>>> months. Really gives you an idea of player numbers and when the peak
>>> hours are.
>>>
>>> Also, it's generally recommended that when you're offline and want to
>>> train something worthwhile, purchase and train Analytical Mind,
>>> Instant Recall and Learning. I believe it's even in that order. Train
>>> each one to level 1. Then start AM to level 2, then IR, then L. Wash,
>>> rinse, repeat. Up to, at least, the 4th level.
>>>
>>> When you get into skills that literally take MONTHS to train, it'll
>>> knock days or weeks off the training time. And reduce new skills to
>>> just minutes.
>>>
>>> ADVICE! Pay for an augmented CLONE! Do it NOW! If you get podded, and
>>> it WILL happen. You lose most of your training. Your default clone
>>> has only a fraction of your acquired knowledge. But, if you buy a
>>> clone (rated by class, depending on how many experience points you
>>> want to retain upon death) that has been augmented, he/she has your
>>> trained skills uploaded as you go. So when you die, your clone is as
>>> skilled as you were.
>>>
>>> It's also good to buy insurance on your ship. Helps to get things
>>> moving again financially when you're outfitting a new one. You can
>>> also go back to the point in space where you lost your ship and
>>> collect your loot canister if you were killed in a mission by NPC
>>> characters. Some of your weapons should still be there. They'll need
>>> to be repaired, but it's cheaper than buying new ones.
>>>
>>> Review:
>>> * Be sure to do the storyline missions, they're the ones where you
>>> get an email from another agent specifying they have urgent need.
>>> * Train according to your goals. Don't waste time training stuff you
>>> don't currently need.
>>> * Train learning skills early!
>>> * Buy an augmented clone!
>>> * Insure your ship.
