I just wanted to say hello to all the other users in this forum. I am new but I have heard nothing but good things about the clan as well as this game. SO I just installed EVE and I was wondering, what are the first skills I should focus on training before anything else? I did some research about this game and on the different ships, so lets just say that I wanted to successfully be an avid member of this website for 3 months, and ultimately be accepted into the goons, what would be some good skills to learn that could possibly benefit me lets say..... in 3 months from now?

Okay, that's true. Good point, Marquess. Point for you. But you get a point taken away for being a dick. So, back to zero.

This was definitely worth your multiple $10 regs for sure. If you care enough about GOONS to spend moneys to be part of us, then welcome to the family!

Edit - you should fly a titan because titans are the biggest ship in eve i think and its how goons know ur serious but once youre in you can just give it away to someone else and goons shower you with ships and money because its initiation protocol

That is a very nice story. you should save it for a campfire.

Ok so heres the deal. How I got my Avatar is fairly simple. I went to the questions forum and asked someone how to obtain one, and basically a random person placed it on there. I didn't get to pick it so it is what it is. FYI I learned about this website through a mate of mine who plays eve and said I should comehere. Ill continue to use this forum as it seems like the best forum ive come across in quite awhile besides d2jsp but that place is terribad. Thanks for the cool greetings. I appreciate it. Even the trolling is ok, as pond scum is necessary toestablish balance lol.
