No matter how many skill points you have as a new player, you have decisions to make.
We have skill plans available to get you up to speed on ships we use in fleets. When you fly our fits during approved fleet activities, they are covered by our Ship Replacement Program (SRP). Our fits are available at a low cost, and if they are lost during an approved fleet activity, our corporation will replace it free of charge.
Our fits will also help you be well-rounded the Magic Fourteen.
The Magic Fourteen are a set of skills that are useful to pilots no matter what ship they choose - whether they are piloting a Frigate or a Dreadnought. They are divided among a number of skills:
Engineering
Armor or Shields (*)
Targeting
Navigation
Spaceship Command
*: If you are flying as a solo pilot, the choice between armor or shields is somewhat inconsequential. However, when you're part of a corporation that conforms to a particular doctrine, it may be best to focus on shields or armor specifically - whatever your corporation prioritizes in regards to ship fits / doctrine.
