I'm probably an average skilled player (at best). <br /><br />But one thing I learned early on: finding reliable online sources of knowledge about Eve, especially while flying solo (and even today), is a crucial part of the Eve experience. When you follow this path, bizarre fit decisions are almost impossible to make. <br /><br />I never felt that anyone is obliged to guide and help me. I also realized early on how critical it is to find a good fit. So I relied on easily found, sometimes rated fits from reliable sources. I made sure the proposed ship/fit context was close enough to my own and I then mildly modified them (using EFT) to suit my particulars. Within a couple of hours I would settle on a good fit, go buy the ship and fly it with confidence that my skills, good or bed, will have greater impact on my performance than my ship's fit. <br /><br />Eve rewards those who are curious and enjoy steep learning curves - on their own primarily, and then properly leveraging help from players who're more experienced or better than they are. The latter are not that hard to find. At most they're a friendly chat channel away. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825940388673686481noreply@blogger.com
